I was lucky enough to have Jena as my hair stylist for my wedding and she really is so talented! Myself and my bridesmaids all have very different hair types and all wanted different styles but this was no issue for Jena. We all looked beautiful and our hair held all day despite the wind. I have very fine hair and struggle to get any volume when I style it but I was so impressed with how my hair looked on the day after Jena worked her magic - Couldn't recommend her more!
I booked Jena for my wedding makeup and hair. She is an incredible artist and made this process as easy as possible for me. She is so sweet and really wants to make sure her clients are happy. I live outside of San Diego and was planning a San Diego wedding. She was always so responsive and receptive to time constraints and schedules!
We had my hair and makeup trial the night before my wedding. This was so flexible of her and really helped solidify my desired look for the next day! She color matches SO well and her talent is truly versatile. I felt so beautiful for my wedding day and was so happy to tell people about her.

Jena is a thoughtful, detailed hair and makeup artist that helped make my wedding an absolute dream. My hair and makeup held up through our windy ceremony, convertible getaway car ride, and our emotional vows + family speeches. I highly recommend booking her services for any event - big or small!
Styling with Jena
Bridal trials aren’t required, but we highly recommend them! They’re a great opportunity to meet your artist, talk through any questions or concerns, and make sure your look is absolutely perfect for your big day.
Are bridal trials required?
Jena has handpicked a team that perfectly embodies the Styling with Jena brand and the timeless styles showcased on our platforms. She thoughtfully selects a stylist who aligns with your bridal hair and makeup vision. We encourage every bride to share inspiration photos of their dream look, so we can match you with the ideal stylist to bring your vision to life!
Who will be my stylist?
Each style is allocated 45 minutes, with the bride receiving a full hour of dedicated time. We’ll also spend 15 minutes upon arrival setting up and reserve the final 15 minutes for touch-ups, ensuring everyone looks flawless and stays on schedule!
How long does each service take?
To secure your booking, we require a minimum of 5 services, totaling $800. This includes the bride and 4 additional guests, ensuring everyone feels beautiful and ready for the big day!
Is there a minimum service requirement?
Yes! I work with a skilled and dedicated team of professionals to ensure you’re fully taken care of on your special day. Whether it’s accommodating a large bridal party or providing support when I’m managing events in another location, my team and I are committed to delivering seamless, personalized service. You can trust that you’re in great hands with us!
Do you have a team?
Booking your wedding services is simple! All we need is a signed contract and a non-refundable, non-transferable retainer fee to secure your date. This retainer will go toward your total balance. Appointments are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t wait to lock in your special day!
