Missy Theige, the founder of Willow & Gold, describes her work as the connection of nature and beauty, and that idea shapes how she approaches a wedding morning. The goal is never a transformation. It is the most polished version of the person already in the chair.

She is particular about what touches her clients’ hair, favoring beautiful ingredients and aligning only with brands and creatives who share that philosophy. Willow & Gold is a hair studio through and through. Bridal and special occasion styling are the heart of it, with color services in the months leading up to the day, and clients consistently describe her as the calm, personable presence a wedding morning needs.

With studios in Alamo and Alameda, Willow & Gold serves the Bay Area and travels on location for weddings and events.
