The Pretty Barrette
Bridal Hair Stylist in Raleigh, NC & Beyond
Ever had your hair styled for an event… only to feel disappointed before you even walked out the door? Maybe it was stiff, frizzy, falling flat by dinner, or nothing like the inspiration photo you showed.
That won’t happen here.
At The Pretty Barrette, we’re done with outdated styles, crunchy curls, and updos that don’t last. You deserve bridal hair that reflects your personal style — soft, modern, romantic — and holds up beautifully throughout the entire night.
We design styles that look effortless but are built to last in North Carolina
Every detail is intentional — we care about shape, structure, and the way your hair moves.
We specialize in modern bridal looks: textured buns, soft waves, and polished half-up styles.
You’ll leave your trial confident, knowing your hair will photograph flawlessly and feel like you.
If you’re getting married in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Garner, or Clayton (or beyond), and want to love your wedding hair — you’re in the right place.
We bring bridal hair styling to you — whether you’re getting ready in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Garner, or Clayton. From hotel rooms to venue suites, we show up on-site so you can relax and enjoy every moment of your big day.
My name is Sarah, founder of The Pretty Barrette. Based in the Triangle of North Carolina, I’ve been styling bridal hair for years. I’m passionate about creating elegant, long-lasting styles that feel like you — not just for photos, but for dancing, hugging, and all the moments in between.
I understand humidity, time constraints, nerves, and the importance of reliability. My goal? To make your wedding morning calm, fun, and beautifully styled.
I use quality proven products designed to help your style look its best — from the first photo to the final farewell. You're in good hands.
