La Sorella Bridal

I am really unhappy with Mandy's overall attitude. I am giving her a 7 because my mother and sister's hair came out beautifully. However, I was unhappy with my hair and when i asked her to fix it, she gave major attitude, huffing and rolling her eyes telling me that it's my fault because I changed it from the trial, etc. In my opinion, it doesn't matter, I am the bride, I am asking you to fix it, and I am paying you. Regardless of how she felt, her attitude was completely uncalled for.

add to friendsI Went to Mandy for my trial for my wedding on August 17, 2008. I did not tell her that I was a hair dresser in a salon for many years, she made me feel very comfortable and was extremly helpful in putting together my look for my wedding. I then told her what I used to do for a living & let her know that I am the most picky person when it comes to My hair. I also told her that I know about 10 girls from my old salon that wanted to do my hair for my wedding. I told her that I was booking her right there on the spot because she did EXACTLY what I pictured in my head. I LOVE HER & She is VERY talented!!!! She even did my mothers hair The way she wanted it and we all know a happy mother makes a Happy bride!!! My Maid of Honor looked STUNNING & everyone couldn't get over how we looked! I would reccomend La Sorella Bridals to ANYONE & I have been reccomending La Sorella Bridals to every girl I know that just got engaged!!!

Talent drive and passion are an understantment when it comes to Mandy the owner of Lasorella Bridal. Her and Alexa did my makeup and hair for my wedding and needless to say-- my hair was a masterpiece. She fused three completely different images, using all different elements to create a mixture of both our visions. Needless to say-- she is the best!

Thanks Mandy!

Mandy and Alexa together made me feel like the princess I always dreamed of looking like on my wedding day. Mandy even came back half way through the cocktail hour to transform my hair for when I was introduced into the reception. My hair did not MOVE for both style changes. Mandy now regularly cuts and colors my hair and she is heaven sent! And the prep time! To DIE for. My photographer took these crazy pictures of fifteen brushes in my hair but it was worth every penny. I felt like I was in a vidal sasson commercial! I cant thank her enough.

I first met with Mandy in March of 2007 for a hair trial. I emailed her at night and she got back to me right away and scheduled something for that weekend. I booked her on the spot!!

I had two trials, one updo (in March) and one down with curls (later in the summer, maybe July). Both trials were incredible and Mandy was so much fun to work with. She is very professional, fast and is full of great ideas. She has a trained eye and knows what works and what doesn't work for each person's hair.

On the morning of my wedding, she arrived early to set up and then got to work... she finished 7 of us in 3 hours. Everyone's hair was perfect and stayed put throughout the end of the reception.

Mandy is the only stylist I will use for my hair now ~ and that includes cut and color! I've gone to her religiously and recommend her to everyone. If you have any questions or would like to see pictures, please email me at beckymongelli@gmail.com

Mandy did an amazing job with my hair. I have very thick hair that tends to get frizzy easily, and my hair stayed curly and perfect looking all day and night. She was on time and very professional. My mom and sister loved their hair also. Expensive, but worth it. I have never seen my hair look this good!

I was just married about 3 months ago - August 23rd. I was referred to Mandy by Alexa Prisco..aka..the Glamfairy. I have to say, Mandy is a extremley professional and talented woman. I warned Mandy right away...I am the pickiest person when it comes to my hair. I actually had Mandy do two hair trials so I could make sure it was just right. She was amazingly patient and understanding the entire time. The day of the wedding my hair came out even better than the two trials. Mandy also had to do my mom, my sister and four of my friends hair for the wedding. Everybody was RAVING about their hair. Mandy seriously went out of her way to make me, and everyone else happy with their hair. I'm so glad i went with mandy for my wedding day hair =)

Mandy is a miracle worker! I have super thin hair and it never holds a curl. She made my hair look great. I had friends from high school (who KNOW how thin my hair is) asking if it was all me in there lol. She's a sweetheart and she works quickly, shows up on time, etc. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Mandy did hair for myself (the bride :), my mom, my now mother-in-law and my 3 maids and she did just a wonderful job. Even my very picky mom was extrememly happy. we all looked amazing! She was able to make everyone look different yet we all went well together so well. She worked with each of my maids to pick a hair style that worked right for them and it worked out just beautifully! I love love love mandy. She was a joy to work with on my big day! I highly recommend her!

I first met Mandy back in May 2008 when I went for my 1st hair trial - Right away she knew what kind of hairstyle I was looking for - I loved my hair trial sooo much that I booked her right then and there on the spot. She is truly an AMAZING person! Very very sweet! On my wedding day - October 11 2008- she came bright and early and had me done in about 90 minutes- she also did an amazing job with my sister's hair (maid of honor). Everyone kept raving on how awesome we both looked - It lasted all day and night.
I highly recommend Mandy - She does an OUTSTANDING job.

I did not get my hair done by Mandy for a wedding, but for a photoshoot. My hair came out incredible and I LOVED it ! It was perfect for the occasion and just what I wanted. The hair stayed perfect and looked amazing throughout the whole day. Everyone LOVED the hair. Mandy does OUTSTANDING work, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to make your hair look flawless and stunning on your very special day.

Mandy did my hair and my mother's hair for my wedding on October 11, 2008. I can't say enough good things about Mandy. I had two trials (one half up/half down, and an up-do.) Mandy knew exactly the look I was going for each time. She gave great advice and direction as to which types of veils and handpeices would complete the look I wanted. The day of the wedding Mandy was on time and worked really quickly! My mother's hair came out wonderful, she's never looked more beautiful! My hair came out exactly how I envisioned it, yet 100x better than I could have imagined. I am still getting compliments on how wonderful I looked. I look forward to the next time I need my hair to look extra special so I can pay a visit to Mandy!

Hello blushing brides to be!
I would definitely recommend this vendor if you are looking for a great hair dresser for your special day. Mandy from La Sorella did my hair and my 6 bridesmaids hair. She was so very quick and so very efficient. We all looked wonderful and the best part was that my hair held all night (this is very unusual since I have very heavy hair and had Mandy do loose curls...I was initially worried that by the time the reception started my hair would have been dull) however, it was quite the opposite! My hair looked absolutely great from the moment Mandy finished at 11am all the way through til the partying ended at 4am. I had compliments on it allllll night long and each time I look at the pictures I am still in awe of how she managed to pull it off but she did. My hair dresser and photographer are always raved about because they were amazing. Check them out at LaSorellaBridal.com for hair and for photography JeffTismanPhotography.com.

Congrats and enjoy your beautiful day!

Mandy is great at what she does, but I felt a disconnect in our communication. She gave me curls in my updo the day of the wedding, even though I specifically told her I didn't want curls, and despite the fact that I had pictures of the hairstyle in front of her to use as a guide. Thankfully, I had planned on wearing my shorter veil the entire day, so the back of my hair was covered and it wasn't a huge issue. Also, I found it SO irritating and nerve-wracking that she insists on not having yoiu see what she's doing until she's done with your hair (ie, no mirrors)! I think allowing clients to see what's happening as she's working on their hair could save a lot of problems in the end! Especially if you have an updo, it's not like you can make a lot of adjustments once it's up!

Mandy is truly great at what she does. I was really nervous about how my hair would turn out. I have thin pin straight hair and couldn't seem to get a hold on what I really wanted done. I had 2 trials with Mandy and each of them were wonderful but I left feeling unsure of what I wanted...even though I kept changing my mind, the day of the wedding Mandy totally nailed the hair I was looking for. I LOVED it!!!!!!!! I got so many compliments on it. It lasted all night and even into the morning.

My MOH brought her a picture of what she wanted and she was able to re-create it even better than the picture in the magazine.

Mandy also works really quickly..it took a lot of stress off my shoulders when we were all done before schedule...she is a little expensive but totally worth it!!

I love Mandy. She took care of my hair the year leading up to the wedding. She has done my hair for a couple of occasions throughout the year. I will keep going back to her for my cuts. She is very professional and focused. Her styles stay in and look so good. She is a dream maker with a curling iron. She was on time, did all my girls and myself. She came back after cocktail hour to touch my hair up - it didn't even really need it b/c it stayed in so well. All my bridesmaids loved their hair and we got a lot of compliments!

I do not have enough wonderful things to say about Mandy. At the trial I was a total pain and through it all she endured my pickness about my hair (my parents own a salon) and left me with not one thing to complain about. ON the wedding day it looked even better! My photographer was raving about how quickly she turned out the bridesmaids. She had the most beautiful beaded and jeweled headpieces and ill wear hair jewlery for any ocassion so OF COURSE i bought three! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mandy! She is THE BEST in NJ and I am one picky bride!

I just recently came across this site and decided to write a review for Many of La Sorella Bridal. I was married on 4/20/07 and was referred to Mandy through Alexa of "Glam Fairy" (who did my make-up) I went for a trial with Mandy and brought a picture and my veil and said "I want this exactly on my wedding day". Within the hour, she transformed my hair to that picture.
On my wedding day she was on time and very professional. She also did some of the hair for my wedding party, and even re-did my picky sisters hair for her after she was getting fussy over it. I felt beautiful, and everyone commented on how great my hair was. It did not move the entire day, and stayed just as beautiful for all he pictures. I would highly recommend Mandy for anyone for their wedding or any event for that matter. I noticed some of the reviews complained about prices, but I feel that you pay for what you get, and in this case i got a great deal, because Mandy exceeded all my expectations for my hair on my wedding day.

I got married in April 2008. I had my hair done by La Sorella Bridal. Mandy is the owner of the company and the head stylist. She is a true artist and a strong business woman. She puts 100% into her clients and runs her business like a professional. To be honest, I do not have time to write reviews about each and every vendor, but felt the need to review Mandy and ONLY Mandy when I came across "project wedding". I was stunned to see that one of Mandy's reviews from a past bride was not what I expected to read. Hmmmm I thought, doesn't sound like the hair stylist I hired. I was a picky bride especially because I love hair and makeup. I think it is one of the most important parts to the overall look. I would pay any amount of money for a good stylist who knows how to work it. Mandy deserves only Great Reviews. When you hire a vendor you hire them for their talent and expertise, so little petty issues are a waist of time reviewing. Get to the point people. This girl is Good!

My wedding was on June 8, 2008. I hired Mandy from La Sorella Bridal to do my hair and nine bridesmaids. She was Fantastic!!! She was on time, worked fast, was fun to be around and even coordinated a schedule for my girls so that the day would run smoothly. I was recommended to her by many people, so I knew I was in good hands. My hair is really fine and limp most of the time, but my wedding day I truly looked like a movie star..thanks to Mandy. I was fortunate to have used her.
I would recommend her to anyone because I never felt so beautiful.
If she has your date available book her right away! Mandy was my favorite vendor!

La Sorella Bridal did all the hair for my wedding in September 2007. Mandy is an amazing hair artist; from the minute I met her she made me feel so comfortable and really worked with me to create a stunning up-do for my big day. Mandy was so great, I've even used her privately since for special occasions and just regular hair sytles. Mandy really strives to get to know her clients and I appreciated the time she took to find out about my likes and dislikes. She was very professional, showed up early on my wedding day and my hair did not move the entire time! I highly recommend her and have to several of my friends who are getting married

So I'm not a bride, yet, but I have been a bridesmaid/maid of honor in 7 weddings in the last year and have had more updo's than any one person should ever have in their life. I can honestly say that my hair looked the best when Mandy of La Sorella did it. The weather the day of the wedding was hurricane like and we had to run in and out of church under golf umbrellas, but none of 7 bridesmaids and a bride moved...it was unbelievable. None of the bridesmaids had pictures to show Mandy, so we gave her an idea of what we all wanted and she certainly delivered!! We all had perfect hair, and each style was different from the next. Mandy was early and stayed on schedule, which is a big deal for my neurotic self. I have, and do HIGHLY RECOMMEND La Sorella for your wedding day. There is so much to worry about, and your hair doesn't have to be one of them. I already have Mandy reserved for when my BF pops the question! :-)

When planning my wedding, I had this hairstyle in mind that I wanted for my special day. I went to a local salon for a trial and it was horrible. I searched online for a bridal haristylist and found Mandy of La Sorella Bridal. I couldn't believe that someone could make my dreams and ideas come to life! Mandy made my wedding day hair look absolutely perfect! Not only did my hair look flawless, but I felt so much more beautiful! I don't know what I would have done if I didn't find Mandy. Usually you get compliments on your dress, jewelry, reception decor, etc...(which I did) but I also got TONS of compliments on my hair! Thank you so much Mandy, you made my wedding dreams! If you're looking for a stylist, Mandy is the best you'll find!

I chose La Sorella Bridal after meeting with two other vendors. I was put totally at ease at my first trial with Mandy. She new exactly what I had envisioned for my hair. The day of the wedding, she was nothing but professional and did a great job. My bridesmaid's looked fantastic. I would recommend her to any bride that has an upcoming wedding.

So a little over two and a half years ago I did this wedding and I met this amazing hair stylist. We didn't end up actually doing that wedding together but we were networked through the bride and in our first conversation discovered we had a lot in common.

For a long time I didn't even work with a hair stylist seeing as I could never find anyone that I was blown away by. Well... when Mandy (who is the owner and creator of www.lasorellabridal.com) and I did our first trial together we were both totally aghast by the way our work complimented each other.

That trial, in fact, lead to our both being on "Who's Wedding is it Anyway?" courtesy of Kristin Rockhill of www.detailsofido.com.

In an event, we learned that not only was our work absolutely complementary of one another-- but we seemed to have the same idea's in terms of customer service, "the customer experience" and a general light hearted but hard-working approach to our businesses.

We both share the same philosophy in that a bride not only has to feel 110% comfortable with the makeup and hair-- but mainly, the need to feel comfortable with you. No one wants some uppity, ego-maniac, overwhelming artist on their special day.

So, over the past two years Mandy and I not only have worked together but we have decided to be business partners. We merged our companies and although we still run them as two entirely different entities we understand that the work we do in tandem is nothing short of a masterpiece. It is rare being a young entrepreneur and finding someone who shares the same passion and vigor for their business as you do-- so our ability to truly understand one another is priceless.

I would like to introduce all of you guys to not only my business partner, but my best friend Mandy Liento.

I've worked with Mandy Liento for the past year and a half. She is an extremely talented hair stylist - she creates hair nirvana and is fast!
