on-location bridal hairstyling in metro-detroit, northern michigan and destination!
Winner "Best clean updo" from beyond the ponytail styling awards 2023!
Hairstylist, educator, and the founder of Akande Artists.
What started as a love for creating beautiful hair has grown into something much bigger. After years of working with brides and teaching fellow hairstylists, I realized I wanted to build more than a bridal beauty business. I wanted to create a team of exceptional artists who share my passion for beautiful, timeless hair and the experience that comes with it.
Every Akande Artist is personally selected and trained with one goal in mind: to deliver the kind of artistry, professionalism, and attention to detail that every bride deserves.
I'm so glad you're here.

"If you're thinking of reaching out to Ronda, stop thinking and just do it. Firstly, she is the most gorgeous human inside and out, with the most talent I've ever seen. My family and friends referred to her as 'Wanda' because she is pure magic. Not only did she make everyone look beautiful, she made us all feel beautiful too. Every photo and thought was brought to life effortlessly with the biggest, warmest smile. You choose who is the in the room with you very carefully on your wedding day, surrounded by your closest friends and family - and it was the ultimate pleassure having her with us."
"I cannot say enough great things about working with Ronda on my wedding day. From the very first time we met in person for my hair preview, we instantly clicked. She made me feel so comfortable and she was a blast to be around! She took all my inspiration ideas and brought them to life! We stayed in contact all throughout the months leading up to my wedding day, so when the day came, it was like being around one of my best friends. My hair turned out even MORE amazing than the trial, as did all of my bridesmaids hair. BOOK RONDA ASAP!!"
