I had multiple people tell me Be Inspired is THE salon to go to for bridal hair and makeup and they were right - they did an amazing job!! Demi was dedicated to just my bridal hair and makeup with multiple other stylists for the rest of the bridal party and moms. Demi has such a calming presence which helped so much when nerves are high on the big day! Loved all the trials and prep they did too. Highly highly recommend!!

I worked with Courtney on my wedding hair and makeup and she was wonderful! She was really patient with all my requests and really listened to what I wanted, while helping me make decisions when I asked for advice. I loved my wedding hair and makeup and my hair stayed perfectly curled for multiple days after which is unheard of for my pin straight hair!! She even agreed to put my clip in extensions for me both for the trial and day of, so I could see what the full picture would look like ahead of time and not feel stressed day of.
Mallory and the full hair and makeup team was also great to work with and was super helpful and flexible with my final headcount of girls and getting all of their hair and makeup done in a way they all liked.
Would absolutely recommend using them for wedding (bridal and bridesmaid/friend/moms) hair and makeup!

Be Inspired did an amazing job! They arrived at the venue early and waa ready to go. They made my bridesmaids, mothers, and flower girls beautiful (in addition to me!). I loved all the hair and make up. It was special to me to have Demi, who has been working with my hair for nearly a decade, as my wedding hair stylist. I can't thank them enough!

I am so so thankful that we decided to go with Be Inspired Salon to do our hair and makeup for our bridal party! I was able to work with Courtney as my bridal stylist and I have nothing but good things to say about working with her. We were able to do my hair and makeup trial a few months prior to the big day and as the wedding came closer, I asked Courtney how she would feel about changing up the hairstyle for the wedding day. She took the changes in stride and did a fantastic job with the new style. Super thankful for her! We received so many compliments on the hair and makeup for the day. Highly recommend for any event!

The team from Be Inspired Salon did such an amazing job making me and my family members feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Courtney was my bridal stylist. She is incredibly talented and was so supportive throughout the process. From the moment I entered the salon for my trial, she listened to exactly what I wanted and was able to make my vision come true - but even better than I imagined! The team that came with Courtney on our wedding day to do hair and makeup for my family members did a fantastic job as well; everyone was thrilled with their look! The salon was easy to work with and communicated well throughout the process. I can't recommend Be Inspired and Courtney enough!

I had an excellent experience with Be Inspired Salon. I worked with Sasha as my bridal stylist and she was amazing. From the trial, to the rehearsal hair, to the day of, I can't thank Sasha enough for her work and her kind, fun energy! The salon also provided hair and makeup for 8 other people in the wedding and all the looks turned out beautiful. We chose to have our hair and makeup done at the salon and the team completed all the services earlier than the anticipated timeline which was an added bonus. It is a fairly pricey service so I ended up paying a portion towards my wedding party's hair and makeup and the salon made it super easy by letting me get gift cards for all the girls.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experiences with Be Inspired Salon for my wedding services. I worked with Courtney H. who was so kind and helped me relax the week before my wedding. She was very attentive to every detail and washed her hands before handling my veil and multiple times during the services. I live out of state and although they recommend a trial a month or two before your wedding, I could not fit the extra travel time into my schedule so they were kind enough to do my trial the week of my wedding. Courtney also quickly responded to my multiple questions via email and had all my inspo pics ready to go the morning of my trial. Mother-in-law, my mother, and sister-in-law all loved their hair and makeup. Courtney, Sasha, and Makayla were a great team for the morning of the wedding! The services were done at our venue. We were a bit frazzled and I was even a couple minutes late to the venue, but they were so kind and professional, we all started to relax once things got started. Multiple women in my party, myself included, had not had their makeup professionally done before and they were very appreciative of the good conversation to make them more comfortable. The end results were stunning, but most importantly, we were so happy with how kind, thoughtful, and detailed everyone was.

If you have a wedding coming up and in search of a hair/makeup stylist, Courtney is the one! From my first bridal consult, I knew I could not only count on her to nail my bridal and makeup look, but also that she was such a kind, caring and thoughtful person who I wanted on my team for my big day. Courtney worked her magic and was able to expertly bring my inspo hair and makeup photos to life. She worked patiently with me to make sure every element of my look was perfect. On my wedding day, Courtney and her team of stylists promptly arrived to our bridal suite -- ready to go with high vibes. All of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-law appreciated each stylist's care as they made each of them feel beautiful. Our hair and makeup lasted all day and night, despite the humidity, happy tears and dancing. I cannot recommend Courtney and the entire Be Inspired team enough. They made me and my bridal party feel welcomed, calm and ready to take on the big day. Thank you!!

Be Inspired was amazing to have for my hair and makeup on my wedding day. I loved my stylist Sasha, she tailored my hair and makeup look to be exactly how I wanted it and she was so calm and lovely the day of the wedding! All my bridesmaids loved getting their hair and makeup done and I was so happy no one was stressed about doing it themselves!

I was beyond impressed with the entire team at Be Inspired! Demi did an amazing job with my hair and makeup and took into account the few requested changes from the trial run so that on the day-of everything came out absolutely perfect! My maid of honor was also super happy with how her hair and makeup turned out and how well they listened to what she was hoping for. Very grateful for all of those who helped make the day so special!

Courtney and her girls did an amazing job with my wedding hair and make up back in June. Despite how indecisive I was, Courtney was patient and kind and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, Heather was there to guide me through the process-making everything seamless and comfortable. There were no surprises and everyone was so professional. All of the girls were so talented and made the prep of my big day so fun and relaxed. Highly recommend!!

I had to reschedule my bridal trial hair and makeup appointment due to illness and they were very understanding and willing to work with me. I am very happy with their service, and highly recommend to anyone looking for bridal hair and makeup services!

Demi was great and made the process stressless and fun. She was calm which was very helpful for me the day before and the day of. She checked in often to make sure I was liking hair and makeup and certainly I had no complaints! Her and the girls blended right in with my bridal party and my party looked beautiful and I felt it too.
My only reserve was having to do the bridal package. A la carte was not an option as a bride. I don't live locally which made some of the appointments more challenging and left me doing trials 2 days before my wedding. I understand wanting to get it right, but wish it wasn't necessary. Added a bit of stress to the week. Otherwise the process was easy and straightforward.

I hired Be Inspired for hair and makeup for myself and the bridal party, and I was absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out! From the start of booking with Be Inspired, they helped guide the process and made the whole experience ideal. They came onsite the day of our event, and all services were done within the timeframe given. Demi did my hair and makeup, and it turned out beautifully. We discussed some tweaks after the trial, and the final product was lovely and what I had envisioned. The rest of the team did a phenomenal job with the wedding party, and they all looked stunning. Excellent customer service, and wonderful to work with. Overall, I’m very happy I went with Be Inspired Salon for my wedding.

I had a great experience with Be Inspired Salon and loved my wedding day hair and makeup. I made a few tweaks after the trial, including not wearing the veil I initially planned to wear and adding a beaded hair vine instead. Diana rolled with my changes and did an amazing job! Diana, Sasha and Abby all traveled to the venue in Stoughton to do our hair and makeup onsite on wedding day; it was such a big relief to not have to travel on wedding morning. They did hair and makeup for me and my 4 bridesmaids, and everyone looked beautiful all night long. We had a great experience and would highly recommend them!

We hired Be Inspired Salon to do hair and makeup for myself (bride) and two others for my wedding. Diana was great when I went in for the trial and worked with me to create the look I had envisioned for my wedding day.
The day before the wedding, I went in for the "sparkle and shine treatment". I explained to Diana that I wanted to have my natural curls for the wedding. She seemed confused and hesitated but agreed to leave my natural curls. After I thought about it for a minute, I went back on my decision and asked her to just do a blowout like she had originally planned since it wouldn't really matter with the hairstyle I had in mind for the wedding. She seemed relieved and said that it would be easier for her this way.
On the day of, they arrived a bit early and were very polite when asked to wait a minute so we could finish our breakfast. The two other people that were there to get their hair and makeup done were very happy with their results. I was happy with how my hair turned out, but the more I looked at my face the more I thought the makeup looked a bit odd. I asked for more natural looking makeup, even showed some pictures of what I wanted, and what I got kind of missed the mark. The eyeliner was chunky in some spots and uneven in others and the eyeshadow could have been blended in a bit more. It looked to be a bit more than the look I was going for. These were quick fixes but it missed the point of not having to worry about my makeup when I had to spend time fixing it before I got married.
I did see some of these issues after everything was done, but chose not to speak up about it since it would look fine in pictures and would have taken too much time to start over.

We booked Be Inspired Salon for our wedding in June. The salon was professional, good with communication, and the bridal team was great for handling all of my bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids. The team also sticked to our day of wedding timeline so we were able to get to the venue in time for pictures. The team was professional and very kind. My only disappointment was that my day of hair and makeup were very different than my trial. I was absolutely in love with the trial and was very sad it was different the day of my wedding. I wish this was communicated to me. Despite this, I would recommend this service to others.

We had booked Be Inspired for our wedding in 2020, which we had to reschedule to early 2021 due to the pandemic. However, the pandemic was still an issue so we decided to cancel our wedding all together. We still wanted to make the day fun, so we still had a photography session instead of a wedding. I had spoken to Danielle regarding this, but in absolutely no way would the salon budge on pricing for the other girls due to the event no longer being a wedding (which we had accepted, but none of the girls wanted to do hair/makeup because of the high prices). Danielle had told me that we would not be given a refund, which was fine due to how close this was to our date, but in communications with me, she was still calling our event a ‘wedding’, and me a ‘bride’ which really bothered me and made us feel like she wasn’t paying attention to our needs, hence the low review. A few months after our photography session, the salon is still sending us emails asking us to send photos of our ‘wedding’ so that they can post them to their website. I do not think this was all worth the high price that I paid for this, and I’m not sure that they did the ‘shine’ treatment to my hair the day before, because my hair looked no different. Despite all this, Diana was an amazing stylist and I highly recommend working with her if you do decide to book here. She worked around her schedule to fit me in for my hair appointments, which I really appreciated, and she was able to make everything look great for our session.

Be Inspired Salon did mine and my 8 bridesmaids hair for my wedding and they did an absolutely amazing job! Diana did my bridal hair and it was exactly like the inspiration picture I showed her. I always worry how my hair will turn out based on other weddings I’ve been in and after my trial with Diana I knew I didn’t have to worry one bit with how it would turn out! They traveled to where we were getting ready and also got us all done in such a quick amount of time and ahead of schedule. I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Jena at Be Inspiried Salon was so amazing and made the wedding experience the best for me. With Covid, I ended up pushing my wedding date to 2021, and moved all my appointments to the following year. 3-4 weeks prior to our original wedding date, I moved everything back to this year. Tayler was great to work with and was able to work with me and the team to get all the appointments scheduled. I was able to have my trial a week before, and the Sparkle and Shine treatment the day before my wedding day. Jena did a great job at doing her thing and helping me chose what I wanted for my hair for a hot July wedding. I highly recommend Be Inspired to make your day extra special!

I am so glad I chose Be Inspired to do my wedding hair and makeup! I first got a balayage from Abby about 6 weeks before the wedding, which ended up looking awesome in pictures (this wasn't included, but Abby knew I was getting married so was very smart about my haircut and color to make sure it wouldn't look too long or brassy by the time the wedding came around). Jena was my bridal stylist, and I went into my trial with a ton of pictures but no idea what style I preferred or if I even wanted it up or down; Jena took a look at my hair, said she'd try something down and to the side and we could go from there. In the middle of her doing my hair, I decided I wanted an updo, so she course corrected and came up with the most beautiful twisty updo. She had great advice on what would look good and bridal. After the trial, I didn't like the way the foundation felt or lasted and asked if I could use my own, and she was so accommodating about that. On the day of the wedding, Jena and 4 stylists (Abby, Victoria, Katie, and Darien) came to our hotel room downtown. We had a great time getting ready and they got through 9 people in about 3 hours or so. Everyone looked beautiful, and our hair/makeup lasted all night. Be Inspired is definitely on the more expensive side, but I went with them because they offered a lot with the package - a blowout the day before your wedding so you have great rehearsal dinner hair and don't need to worry about washing it; they let you choose and keep your lipstick at the trial so you can use for touch-ups throughout the day (and have time between trial and wedding to get used to it) and keep it forever, and they include the trial for hair and makeup which was essential since I'm very picky about my makeup look and feel. I would recommend Be Inspired to any bride and they're now my go-to regular hair salon in the area!

I loved that the bride gets their own stylist and they provide someone else for the rest of your bridal party. Demi did a great job and was receptive to things I wanted to change. Everyone looked just beautiful on the big day.

My bridal stylist was Victoria and she helped me look my absolute best for my big day! She really took a lot of time and care during my trial to make sure my look was exactly what I had envisioned. I wasn’t sure what coloring to use for makeup and she had a great eye for what would look best for my skin tone. She takes a lot of pride in her work and was just so genuine and fun to work with throughout the whole process. She made me feel so beautiful!
I had the girls from Be Inspired for hair and makeup services for myself, the moms, and my bridesmaids. They travelled to our hotel which was such a great service- we were able to relax and be pampered all morning. All of the girls loved their looks and our hair and makeup held all day long every though it was really hot and humid!
I would highly recommend the Be Inspired team to handle your hair and makeup services and especially Victoria for bridal hair and makeup!

I had a great experience with Be Inspired. They are a little expensive, but for me it was well worth the money. I had a Sunday wedding and finding bridal beauty services available on a Sunday was difficult. Everyone at the salon was friendly and welcoming. The stylists did an incredible job. My stylist, Jena, perfectly captured the look I was desiring. Specifically, she took three different styles I liked and fused them into the perfect look. I loved feeling pampered for my big day, especially with the stress that came along with doing so much DYI for the event.

Be Inspired Salon is very organized and has a designated bridal coordinator to assist you in booking and answer all of your questions. I was especially impressed with my bridal stylist, Anna, who made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day. She is extremely professional and talented.
I also loved the bridal blow out appointment the day before my wedding. It was so relaxing and the pampering was exactly what I needed!! They also have a ring cleaner in the salon so they cleaned my rings during the appointment.
I give the salon a 4 instead of a 5 star rating because I had to pay in full in advance, the prices are a little expensive for the area, they don't have air brush, and the hair and make up for the mother of the groom and one of my bridesmaids was just OK.

Be inspired salon was wonderful to work with from the beginning to the end when they sent me a thank you card. The stylists were prompt the day of the wedding and listened to what myself and the bridal party wanted. My hair treatment and blow out the night before was also amazing. Highly recommend!

I heard about Be Inspired from a friend who used them for her wedding. I was really impressed with my hair and of course my friends hair and makeup as the bride, so when I got engaged, they were the first salon to come to my head.
My friend suggested I do the platinum package which includes their shine treatment the day before your wedding, as well as a makeup and hair trial. It was truly worth every penny! I was able to get trial hair and makeup, day before blow out and shine treatment, and day of hair and makeup (with the lipstick to keep!). All of their employees are so sweet and friendly and did a great job. Victoria did my trial and day of. She was so much fun to talk to and took my ideas and made them reality- and it all looked better than I could have imagined! Anna did my shine treatment and she was great to work with as well! I loved having my hair done the day before for our rehearsal. It made it so I could just wake up on the day of the wedding and not have to worry at all about what to do with my hair to get ready for them.
I am still so impressed and love how we all looked and couldn’t be happier with my decision to book Be Inspired as the hair and makeup salon for my wedding day!

I had an AMAZING experience with Be Inspired! Jena and Anna worked with my mom and I at our hair/makeup trial a few weeks before the wedding. Both of them listened to what we had in mind and helped us talk through our ideas and created some amazing. On the day of the wedding, the bridal hair and makeup team came to my apartment and did hair/makeup for myself, my moms, my grandmas and 6 bridesmaids. They were so professional and everyone looked beautiful. It was so nice to relax at home while getting ready and get to be with my dogs!

The team at Be Inspired Salon is FANTASTIC! Especially Jena who was my bridal guru! Jena was very considerate and kind during my trial - addressing all of my questions and concerns. She is also an extremely talented and fun makeup artist. I came in with a very specific look and Jena nailed it! I couldn't have been happier with my makeup. Thank you to Jena for making me feel like the most beautiful bride - I'm beyond grateful!
Additionally, the bridal consultant was very professional and helpful in coordinating on-site services for my wedding day. I was so grateful that they were willing and able to travel. The bridal team was very efficient and friendly. They arrived on time and completed everyone's hair and makeup with plenty of time to give. My bridesmaids and mother raved about their services. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Jena, Michaela, and Demi were the stylists who came to my wedding venue to do hair and makeup! I am so grateful for these ladies. As the bride, I got to work with Jena. She is truly talented. She is so easy to talk to and she kept checking in with me to see how I was doing (at times spraying some essential oils to help me say calm :) ). It is clear that she loves what she does. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day! Everything was perfect. Even my mom, who is very particular about her makeup, loved how she looked and Michaela was so patient with my mom as they worked together to do her makeup.
For my regular appointments and pre-wedding hair color, I see Jes. She is a total rockstar as well.

I am SO happy I decided to have my wedding hair and makeup done by Be Inspired Salon. I brought in a few pictures to Jena and she used bits and pieces of each photo to create something unique and beautiful. I felt like she listened to exactly what I was describing! My makeup stayed in place all day, through sweat (it was a toasty June day!) and tears. I felt beautiful the entire day and didn't have to worry about touching up at all! If this is something you may be worried about, you can purchase the makeup the stylist uses. The Be Inspired team came to my parents' house the morning of the wedding to do the entire bridal party's hair and makeup. They were extremely professional and efficient; my bridesmaids and mother all looked wonderful! Many salons in the Madison area WILL NOT come to a remote location to do hair and makeup which wouldn't have worked well with our day. I am so glad Be Inspired offers this option! Thank you, Jena and the Be Inspired Team!

Very happy with how I looked on my wedding day thanks to Be Inspired. I honestly have never felt prettier. Yes, they are expensive but you know that going in and their package includes a lot. (More about that later.) You have to pick and choose what you want to splurge on for your wedding and considering the bride should be the most beautiful in the room I thought hair and makeup should be one of those splurges! Although I am only 20 minutes from the salon I had Be Inspired travel to my house for my big day. I wanted to get ready from start to finish in the comfort of my home. They brought everything they needed for mine, my 4 bridesmaids, my flower girl and my mother's hair and makeup. Everyone was happy with the end result! As promised, more about the package: The package includes a trial and a blow out the day before. The trial is key. I was thankful to get my look figured out before the actual day because of course a couple of tweaks were needed. I was also happy to get a blow out and hair treatment the day before so I could look great at my rehearsal dinner too! Be Inspired knows what they are doing from start to finish. Working with Hailey the bridal consultant beforehand was great! The/she has the process down. Having Jena as my stylist was also great, she is amazing at what she does! Overall very happy with the experience and this vendor!

[Review written by the Bride] We used Be Inspired Salon for bridesmaids and flower girl hair and makeup for our wedding on October 28, 2017. Jena was my stylist and she was extremely helpful, sweet, and patient with me throughout the whole process. I barely wear or feel comfortable wearing makeup. Knowing this, I was quite nervous waiting for the wedding trial just a few weeks before the wedding (my schedule was crazy). So I booked Jena for my engagement session pictures which were about 2 months before the wedding. I highly recommend doing this if you have the chance! Jena respected my “phobia” of wearing too much makeup. When I saw the result of the pictures, I was shocked at how they looked -- pretty much as if I had no makeup on. After that I put all my trust in Jena and followed her recommendations. She was very patient and added make up slowly in the trial. I was really happy with the results, looked super natural and beautiful. For the hair, she was amazing as well. I was undecided to wear it all or half up, and she styled it in a way I could see both options and take pictures. A nice perk for the bride is that it includes a hair blow-out the day before the wedding (pretty much rehearsal dinner hair). Last but not least, Jena went out of her way the day of the wedding to make me feel comfortable. Even though I had sent out advance instructions to everyone having hair & makeup done, my mom did not read them (yes, people do not read emails). She did not read that she had to have her hair clean. She arrived with dirty hair and inadvertently (no fault of the salon) had her hair done like that before I arrived. I spoke with Jena and asked her if they could please wash my mom’s hair and style her again. Despite my mom being difficult, Jena was able to make this happen gracefully. I am so happy she was there all the way that day. It is in no way cheap compared to other places, but we all loved our looks and now I have a place I trust for hair and makeup in town!
