COURTNEY

HOW IT STARTED

EST. 2014

Darling Manes began with a simple love for helping women feel confident in their own skin. What started as a passion for hairstyling has grown into over a decade of creating timeless bridal looks and beautiful hair transformations for clients throughout Virginia.
 

Over the years, I've learned that bridal hair is about so much more than the finished style. It's about creating a calm, organized, and enjoyable wedding morning where you can relax, feel cared for, and simply enjoy every moment.

Today, I continue to focus on creating hairstyles that feel effortless, photograph beautifully, and stay secure from the first look to the last dance.

Courney was wonderful to work with for my wedding! She was prompt, professional, and very easy-going. She has a talent for creating a style without much instructions. I loved my wedding up-do and all of my girls looked beautiful! 5/5 would use!
