My good friend Mary Beth has a successful braiding business, MB Braid Bar, that I had heard a lot about. I knew that she was talented, but I didn’t realize quite how talented until I started following her on instagram and saw these incredible braids:

Unbelievable, right?!

Mary Beth has done bespoke braids for and at events all over New York City, and has even created custom looks for the editors of People magazine!

I love how she’s able to do all sorts of styles, from formal up dos…

…to more casual festival braids.

Ann, Becky and I all wanted our hair to look this amazing, so we booked MB Braid Bar for our holiday events!

Mary Beth styled Becky’s hair into this gorgeous up do for the Scandinavian Christmas Ball.

And Ann’s hair looked like this for the same event.

Don’t they look amazing?!

And of course, the hair looked even better once they were all dressed up!

I booked MB Braid Bar for the Texas Exes Holiday Ho Ho Hoedown the following night. I told her that I wanted it half up, and literally 5 minutes after she started my hair looked like this:

I absolutely loved it!

On the way to the event, I actually had girls stopping me on the subway asking me who did my hair. And you know how rare talking to strangers on the subway is!
