The 50-year-old “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star, who said yes on Saturday, August 6, rocked a high mane of curls stuffed with $7,000 worth of false hair, according to her hairdresser Lucia Casazza.
“As we know, Theresa is the Queen of Jersey. We needed hair worthy of a queen,” Kazazza told Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM Andy Cohen Live radio show on Monday, August 8. — said the beauty guru who has been working on Judis’ mane since the third season of the Bravo franchise.
Giudice wanted something “supernatural” by sending Casazza “exquisite” and “fabulous” images from traditional Italian and Mediterranean weddings, a hairstyle expert told Cohen.
Kazazza also shared Ruelas’ opinion. “Luis likes her hair pulled back from her face,— Casazza explained.
With this in mind, Casazza, Giudice and the Jersey native’s daughter Gia chose a shiny crown — a piece that Casazza created for the entire hairstyle.

“It was all human hair… We have added a build-up. We used clamps,” Kazazza said. From there, Cazazza created an “insert” to which she added additional extensions, creating a rounded pouf that was located above the Giudice tiara.
In total, Kazazza used seven bundles of hair, two packages of hairpins and more than 1,500 invisibles to keep Giudice’s curls in place, she explained to Cohen. “[Her hair] required extensions worth more than $7,000… and such styling cost $2,500,” Kazazza shared when asked about the price.

To complement the spectacular hair, Giudice wore a strapless dress by Mark Zunino with a mermaid neckline. The groom looked dapper in a white tuxedo.
