Meet Kristine
Owner/Lead Bridal Hair Artist
There is something sacred about being part of a bride’s morning — the energy, the anticipation, the meaning woven into every detail. In recent years, I’ve expanded BEAUTY BAR beyond the salon by building a talented, reliable team of professional hair and makeup artists who serve weddings throughout Eastern North Carolina. Together, we specialize in elevated, cohesive bridal beauty experiences — from intimate coastal ceremonies to large-scale luxury celebrations. Our focus is calm execution, polished artistry, and making every bride feel radiant and fully herself.
Meet Brie
Bridal Hair Artist
With 18 years in the bridal industry, I’ve had the honor of styling brides across Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. After completing multiple advanced bridal styling courses, I’ve developed a signature style centered around effortless, romantic looks — especially textured half-up half-down styles and soft messy buns. Beyond the hair itself, I pride myself on creating a calm, fun, and organized wedding morning experience so my brides can fully relax and enjoy every moment of their day.
Meet Taylor
Bridal Hair Artist
Hi, I’m Taylor, and a little about me is that I’m deeply inspired by love, beauty, nature, and all things a little magical. When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll usually find me near the ocean, soaking up sunshine, or spending time with my fiancé and the people I love most.
I have a passion for creating effortless, confidence-boosting beauty and helping brides feel like the absolute best version of themselves on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. I truly love love, and being part of such intimate, joyful moments is something I never take for granted. My style blends soft luxury with a grounded, earthy, slightly boho touch, creating a personalized experience for every bride in my chair.
I’m also the proud owner of Sun & Silk Salon, located inside The Hair Factory in Morehead City — a space I created with warmth and intention, centered around the feeling to glow naturally and live beautifully.
Meet Anna
Bridal Hair Artist
Originally from just outside Raleigh, NC, I’ve proudly called this area home for the past 14 years. With 18 years behind the chair, I’ve built my career around the passion that first drew me to cosmetology—helping people feel beautiful and confident.
Wedding hair holds a special place in my heart. I love transforming hair into timeless bridal styles, from soft romantic curls and effortless boho looks to simple, elegant updos. My goal is to create a look that feels like you—just elevated for one of the most special days of your life.
Meet Darcy
Bridal Hair Artist
Creative, confident, and passionate about bridal hair styling, Darcy Gillikin is a highly sought-after wedding and special event stylist based in Eastern North Carolina. With more than 25 years of experience, Darcy credits her success to creating timeless bridal styles that last from the “first look to the last dance.”
Traveling throughout the region — from the Triad to the Outer Banks — Darcy’s mission is for every bride to feel confident, understood, and completely in love with her hair on one of the most important days of her life. While she continually strives for perfection in her craft, what truly sets Darcy apart is the authentic energy and genuine care she brings to every bride she serves.
As Coco Chanel once said, “Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” That philosophy is at the heart of every bridal experience Darcy creates.
Meet Meredith
Bridal Hair & Makeup Artist
My name is Meredith Phelps, and I have been working in the wedding industry for four years! I specialize in romantic and bohemian styles, as well as "soft glam" makeup that focuses on a
"your skin but better" finish. I love making brides feel like the best version of themselves on their most important day, ensuring they feel beautiful, excited, and relaxed while having the time of their lives! I cannot wait to work with you!
Description of Work
My bridal hairstyling focuses on romantic styles that feel effortless yet polished. I enjoy creating styles such as textured updos, sleek low ponytails, and loose waves that complement each bride's dress, face shape, and overall wedding aesthetic. My goal is to design hairstyles that are timeless, photograph beautifully, and remain comfortable and secure throughout the entire celebration.
Regarding makeup, my style is best described as soft, radiant glam. I focus on glowing skin, seamless blending, and enhancing natural features rather than masking them. The result is a refined, long-lasting look that feels elevated while allowing the bride to look and feel authentic on her wedding day.
Meet Rose
Bridal Makeup Artist
Hi, I’m Rose! For the past four years, I’ve had the joy of helping brides look and feel their best on their wedding day. My specialty is soft, natural glam that enhances your features while still feeling authentically you—but I’m always happy to bring any vision to life. My goal is to create a relaxing experience while making you feel like the most elevated version of yourself. I can’t wait to meet you and welcome you to my chair!
Meet Kaitlyn
Bridal Makeup Artist
Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’m a bridal makeup artist who loves creating soft glam looks with flawless, radiant coverage that enhances your natural beauty. My goal is to help you feel confident, beautiful, and completely yourself on your wedding day.
