Personable, professional and easy-going

Kira was so amazing! She styled my hair along with my 3 bridesmaids and 2-year old flower girl for my wedding in April 2022. She was so personable, professional and easy-going. She listened to what each girl envisioned and styled everyone's hair so beautifully! She was able to do loose buns with them staying in so securely all night long. I did a trial with Kira and she was so open to feedback and remembered every detail for the day of. Kira also lent me beautiful hair clips for the day of which was so kind! I cannot recommend Kira enough!

Even better than expected

Our wedding was made infinitely better by having Kira part of our day! When my fiancé and I were looking to find a hair stylist for our groomswomen, we found Kira's Instagram and were immediately in love with her talent. In between then and now, us and our groomswomen have been DROOLING over her photos. Her hair styling on the day was even better than we expected. Everyone was so pleased with their hair and it lasted perfectly all night. Also, Kira was a wonderful and fun addition to our getting ready room. Thank you again!!!

Responsive, warm and talented

I am so thankful I found Kira while I was planning my wedding! From the moment I contacted her I could tell she was someone I wanted involved during my big day. She is so responsive, warm and talented at what she does. She has also helped me better understand how to make my hair healthier and set me up with the products to do so! If you're still looking for a hair stylist for your wedding (or any event) don't hesitate and book Kira!!

Surpassed all of my expectations

After postponing our wedding countless times, I needed to find a new hair stylist with 1 month of our new date.... I found Kira on instagram, and within 20 minutes of me messaging her in a panic, she replied and also had our date available! Going into your wedding day without a trial can be a little scary, but Kira surpassed ALL of my expectations and even more!!! I absolutely LOVED my hair, and received so many compliments!!! It was a low updo, loose texture that stayed in all day/night. She even provided hair pins that were absolutely stunning. I would recommend Parla Hair 100000% (and already have to friends who are getting married!!!!).

Absolutely amazing

Kira and her assistant are absolutely amazing. From the moment I contacted her about booking for my wedding day down to the final details before walking down the aisle, she was absolutely amazing! Quick to respond to emails, honest feedback and truly a fun gal to get ready with! Her time management and creating a schedule template for myself and all wedding party girls to get hair done was so helpful (and she stuck to the allocated time slots!!!). Cannot recommend her enough!!!

Such a sweet human

Kira is the absolute best! Not only is she such a pro at nailing the exact style you dreamed of.. she is incredibly knowledgeable at how you can achieve the look & she’s truly just such a sweet human. I had multiple people tell me after my wedding that they used my wedding photo as their inspiration photo so if that isn’t the best compliment on how good my hair looked I don’t know what is!!

You won't regret it one bit!

Where do I even begin?! From the moment I landed on Kira's website, all the way to my wedding day, Kira has been an amazing person, stylist, support, the list goes on. Working with Kira was more than I could have ever asked for. She truly understood the vision for the wedding day, and surpassed any expectations we had. Myself, my mom and my bridesmaids were all in love with our hair, and the whole day was so calm and chill thanks to Kira. She even saved the day when my mother-in-law came over with a hair emergency! Prior to the wedding day, Kira answered any and all of my billion questions. She took the time to listen, educate, and support me with whatever hair problems I had. If I had to redo my wedding all over again, I would hire Kira over and over again. If you're a bride, or someone looking to have a wonderful experience getting their hair done, don't hesitate to work with Kira. You won't regret it one bit!!

So incredibly easy and fun

Kira is easily one of the most talented hair stylists that I’ve ever met! How lucky are we, that we have her in ottawa! Kira, you made my entire experience as your client so incredibly easy and fun. From the gift you sent when I booked you, to the communication along the way, an amazing trial and an amazing wedding day… you truly are a professional who checks all the boxes. Especially being a covid bride, so much of our wedding was taken away from us and you made it feel just as special. Not only being a covid bride but a pregnant one who had a very hard pregnancy, you made me feel beautiful. Thank you for everything that you do, you are as kind as you are talented and I love seeing your success continue to grow. It is so deserved.

Full of knowledge

Kira is SO sweet. Her bridal hair booking process is so smooth and efficient (especially with her bridal hair calculator). Throughout the whole process it was easy to communicate with her and she was very responsive, patient, and instilled a lot of confidence during the consultation. I didn't even consider any other hairstylist for my wedding because I was already so impressed with her. I've also purchased hair products from her after reading one of her fabulous newsletters. She is full of knowledge and tips and tricks and it's amazing that she genuinely wants to help people take better care of their hair, whether or not they're clients! She radiates a kind of joy and friendliness that makes it so easy to be comfortable with her.

My hair was exactly how I wanted it

Of all the decisions I had to make for our wedding day, choosing Kira as my hairstylist was by far the easiest. Kira was professional, communicative, understanding and extremely accommodating. She took her time, was precise, and let her skills shine! My hair was exactly how I wanted it and I can truly say that Kira went above and beyond her duty as my hair stylist. Thank you, Kira!

Kind, calm, cool, and flexible

I saw Kira at the wedding show and as soon as I met her I knew I wanted her there the morning of my wedding. She is so kind, cool and calm, and flexible. Myself and my bridesmaids all had different styles we wanted- from braids to undone doneup. The hair lasted all the way into the night.

All your Pinterest dreams come true!

The most important thing when you are a bride looking for a hair stylist is skill and personality, Kira knocks it out of the park in both. I guarantee you, Kira will make all your Pinterest dreams come true and really create the most perfect ambience for your special day. She is extremely intuitive, caring and goes above and beyond all expectations of a hair stylist. I would also highly recommend the bridal hair trial and a wash and blow dry with her the day before. I was hesitant before but it really allowed me to full visualize how it would look the day of. Secondly, my hair almost never maintains body or shape for longer than 2 hours, and my bridal hair maintained for over 9! Highly recommend Parla Hair!
