I could go on & on about how beautiful of a job Ronee did! I have naturally curly/wavy hair and I wanted to preserve that as much as possible while still feeling like a princess and Ronee helped me achieve just that! She was honest when she needed to be about what she needed to do to make me look my best and I appreciate that so much. Any curly-girlies know how fickle curls can be and how precious they are to us so knowing when heat was going to be applied to make them look their best was such a thoughtful thing to keep me in the loop about! My bridal hairpiece stayed put until I took it off almost 8 hours later through all the dancing and fun! Ronee also did my three bridesmaids who had absolutely beautiful styles that made them feel their best too. I would trust Ronee again and again!
I rarely write reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience with Braid N’ Hairpins because it was deeply disappointing and concerning.
First and foremost, when I arrived for my appointment, I was shocked by the lack of cleanliness in the space. The makeup artist was covered in animal hair, which raised red flags. Her makeup bag was disgusting, and the walls were cluttered with what looked like junk. This was not the professional environment I expected from someone who claims to have been in business for nine years.
To make matters worse, she applied products directly to my skin by reusing the applicator from the product packaging, when she should have used a spoolie or secondary tool to fetch the product so that no cross-contamination between two clients could occur. This is disgusting and completely unsanitary. The makeup application looked amateur and did not even remotely resemble the inspirational photos I provided.
The lashes she applied started popping off before I even left the chair. After expressing my disappointment, we both tried to make the best of the situation, but it was clear that the quality of service was not going to work out.
I signed the contract back in January 2024, but my trial appointment wasn't until just two weeks before my wedding date. As someone who has been in the industry for nine years, I find it troubling that she did not advise or suggest an earlier appointment to avoid these unfortunate circumstances. This left me unable to book an alternative so I had to do my own make-up at my wedding.
Amid the wedding chaos, I was unable to write this review sooner. My husband attempted to leave the review for me on multiple occasions, but the business owner had it removed time and time again. I genuinely believe the only reason she has such a high rating on Google, Yelp, and The Knot is that she reports and removes all negative reviews.
I strongly advise anyone considering Braid N’ Hairpins to think twice. Your special day deserves better than what I experienced. Save yourself the stress and disappointment, look for a real professional, or at least one with hygienic service.
Ronee was AMAZING!!!! We scheduled a consult with her on a Sunday (where she was very accommodating). She took her time to ask questions about what we wanted and were looking for pertaining to hair and makeup. She was styling myself (the bride) as well as my MIL. When we completed our consult, she took the time to take notes about what we liked and the few adjustments we asked her to make on the big day. When that day arrived, she was set up and ready before we arrived (which wasn't too long of a wait). She styled my MIL first and then myself and I felt so beautiful. Ronee achieved the look I wanted, and I had so many compliments. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone who plans to get married or needs a full glam for any occasion.
Ronee was very responsive and helpful when I had questions. Our artist, Jocelyn, arrived on time and was open to our opinions on what we wanted. She did excellent work and gave us exactly what we hoped for! We got a lot of compliments on our hair and make up during our reception. We would use them again!
Ronee did an amazing job! She listened to what we wanted and made sure we were happy with how everyting turned out. She took into consideration how long everything needed to last. She is an experienced professional!!
Ronee did hair for Me, my Mom and my Grandma on my wedding day. I had a hard time choosing a style and Ronee was nothing but kind, patient and cool when I was having major anxiety on what to choose. I even threw her a curve ball and changed my hairstyle after the trial right before the wedding. She showed up like an absolute pro and made my wedding hair dreams come true. Both my Mom and Grandma were beyond happy with their styles and felt absolutely beautiful. I am so thankful I chose her and you will be too!
This was an incredible experience. I would highly recommend Braid-N-Hairpins for any event. Ronee was stellar. She did my hair and makeup. My sister. Daughter. And husbands hair for my wedding. Couldn’t be happier with the result. HIGHLY recommend doing a trial run before the big day it was really helpful!!!
This review is long overdue (that's my bad - life got ahead of me) but Ronee and her team are AMAZING! She was so flexible and understanding. The quality of the hair and makeup was incredible! I had to go get gas before driving to the wedding venue, and it was a windy morning. Let me tell you, my hair STUCK despite being in a temporary wind tunnel. I cannot recommend them enough! They are out of this world!
My hair was a vision come true on my wedding day, all thanks to the talented team at Braid N'Hairpins by Ronee Aguilar. Their expertise and attention to detail are second to none, I can't sing their praises enough 💕🌸 Braid N'Hairpins by Ronee Aguilar
Claudia and Ronee were absolutely amazing! Claudia did makeup for four of my bridesmaids and one of my flower girls. She was quick, professional, and she made masterpieces each time! We had a three updos and two simple waves/curls, and everyone was pleased. Ronee did my bridal makeup, along with makeup for my mom and three bridesmaids. I never usually wear makeup and had no idea what to ask for, but Ronee worked wonders on me and I felt more confident as a bride because of it. Ronee was also so patient with me as I added two last minute hair additions a few weeks before the wedding. Quick with responses and great communication. I would absolutely recommend them!
We booked Ronee and her makeup artist for my wedding! I had so much fun working with these ladies! OMG can Ronee do hair! She put in my veil and it was so secure. My hair and makeup lasted all night long. I didnt have a wedding party, and only needed hair and makeup for my mom, sister and I. So I really appreciated that she didn’t require me to have a huge party for her to travel to our venue.
I did my hair and makeup trial with Ronee for my wedding! She was able to create the perfect hair and make up for my upcoming New Years Eve wedding! I’m so excited for her to do my and my bridesmaids hair and make up for my wedding!
Ronee did my hair and makeup for my gender reveal on fairly short notice and knocked it out the park! Everyone was asking who did my hair and makeup, couldn’t recommend her more! She was incredible!! Will be sending my family and friends to her in the future!
Ronee did the hair and makeup of me and my bridesmaids for my October wedding and let me tell you she’s an absolute VIBE! Would 100% recommend her to anyone in or near San Antonio. My hair and makeup came out amazing!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ronee! She is super responsive, flexible, and understanding. Any bride would love their experience with Braid N' Hairpins on their special day.
Ronee did a fantastic job doing my and my bridal party's hair for my wedding. She knew exactly what she was doing and was extremely professional. My updo held extremely well after a full night of dancing. If I need to book hair services again, I'll go to Ronee. She helped make my wedding day special.
Ronee was absolutely a gem to work with and we were very happy with her services for my entire bridal party. Communication with Ronee was clear and concise and we loved being able to browse the Braid N'Hairpins social media pages to see what other brides were having done. Furthermore, Ronee is the best when receiving feedback on makeup or hair tweaks. Truly a wonderful person to work with for your big day!
Also my makeup and hair stayed put through humidity, dancing, and the general craziness of a wedding. Highly recommend.
Ronee and her assistant were an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Very kind and patient and professional. Communication was always clear and timely. They showed up right on time and did a beautiful job on everyone’s hair and makeup. Styles held up beautifully throughout the day and ceremony/reception. Would highly recommend Braid N’ Hairpins!!
Ronee was a dream to work with! She took her time on everyone’s hair and they all turned out amazing! I can’t thank her enough for making my girls and I looks amazing!
Ronee did a great job, there were 9 of us that needed our hair and makeup done. She did an amazing job, and I felt beautiful. Ronee thanks to you and your partner for making our day easier, we loved the outcome.
Ronee did an amazing job on my wedding hair! I was looking for high quality at a reasonable price with a reliable vendor, and Ronee delivered. Ronee did hair for two moms, seven bridesmaids, and me, and everyone's hair looked gorgeous. My bridal hairdo turned out exactly how I wanted, stayed in place after hours of dancing, and photographed beautifully. Ronee brought Lyndsey for makeup, and she did an incredible job as well. They showed up early and prepared, stuck to the schedule, and even finished up a little early, allowing ample time for last minute freshening up.
Ronee is a professional and knows what she's doing. As Pinterest/ inspiration photos can be unrealistic and misleading due to photoshop or hair pieces, etc., she worked with me to curate a hairstyle that fit what I wanted and would work with my hair. I did a trial to finesse all the details so I could rest easy when my bridal portraits and wedding day came around knowing we'd be executing on a perfect plan. Ronee spent time looking up and practicing techniques so the hairstyle would look as good as possible which was impressive, made a difference, and shows her dedication. While a trial isn't necessary with a pro like Ronee, especially if you're on a budget, it made me feel a lot better and did allow us to make some minor tweaks to make my hair look even better. Things couldn't have run more smoothly!
Overall, Ronee is a skilled, friendly, dependable vendor who helped me and the women I care about the most look our best at my wedding. I will absolutely use Ronee's services in the future and highly recommend her!
Ronee and her team have been a dream to work with. I was in a tough situation due to unforeseen circumstances, and Ronee really helped save the day. Communicating with her has been a breeze due to her responsiveness, and her professionalism is unmatched. She also created amazing looks for myself and my bridal party. I am so excited to get pictures back and see all the hard work from her and her team. I cannot recommend Braid N' Hairpins enough.
Ronee was the absolute best! I had the pleasure of working with her this past year as I was planning my wedding. She did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower as well as my wedding. She out did herself on both occasions and made me feel and look absolutely beautiful! One thing that I loved about her was that she was always easy to communicate with and she definitely went the extra mile. 10/10 recommend booking with her!
Professional, on-time and awesome job doing my wedding hair as well as my wedding party! Everyone wanted different looks and Ronee nailed them all. Thank you!
Ronee did an amazing job with our wedding hair! She traveled out to our venue and was also able to troubleshoot problems that occured during our trial hair session.
I'm so glad we had her amazing skills for the day!
Simply put, Ronee is awesome! I booked her to do the hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. Ronee fit right in with my girls, and had a very relaxed and easy-going vibe, which helped to keep things calm on a stressful day. Ronee was able to do everyone's hair from just a few pictures, finished in a very timely manner, and all of my bridesmaids and myself were extremely happy with how we looked. I'd highly recommend Ronee to anyone!
Braid N'Hairpins is the perfect place to get your hair and makeup done! Ronee took the time to ask questions on what I was wanting, was very affordable, and professional throughout the whole process! I highly recommend her if you're wanting to feel and look gorgeous for a special event!
Ronee was so great to work with between getting the bridal trial done to he actual day of. Her team is great and got all my bridal party of 10 bridesmaids, mom, MIL, and grandma done before our expected end time, so we were not at all running late to our early afternoon wedding. If you are wondering if the bridal trial is worth doing, DO IT! My hair already looked great in the trial, but I know Ronee felt even more confident in her ability to make my dream hair come true the day of with the extra hold and support it needed. You will not regret booking with Braid N'Hairpins to complete the wedding look of your dreams.
Very professional and friendly. On time for appointment. Will definitely use again!
Ronee did an absolutely amazing job with makeup at my wedding! She took the time to listen to each person's requests and everyone looked beyond stunning. I was extremely pleased with how my makeup turned out as well! Would absolutely recommend.
Ronee was wonderful! She was patient and knew exactly what to do to make my beautiful, 14 year old daughter even more beautiful. Great makeup knowledge and worked wonders with long hair.
Ronee did not disappoint for our wedding day! After my trial with her a few months before the big day, I knew she'd be a good fit both because of how my hair and makeup turned out and because of how personable and professional she is. Ronee arrived on time at our resort and worked through 6 hairstyles as Lyndsey did the same with makeup. Everyone was happy with how their hair turned out, dare I even say mine was better than the trial?! It lasted all night - a HOT June night in TX. I would recommend Ronee to anyone looking for their hair and makeup in the San Antonio/Austin area!
Ronee is the sweetest person ever! She did my bridal hair along with my bridesmaids and parents hair and she ROCKED it. All of us have extremely different hair types - ranging from straight to thick and curly - and Ronee was able to accommodate each of us as needed and excelled on the various styles we picked. Additionally, Ronee has the best attitude and added such a positive vibe to our dressing room. I am extremely grateful for Ronee and her talents. She was the perfect fit to be apart of our wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough!
Ronee is an amazing person and fantastic at hair! Her makeup assistant was also SO fabulous. You will not regret booking them for your wedding day or special event.
I was so happy with how me and my girls turned out! Everyone looked great and exactly what I envisioned! Prices were very reasonable and Ronee was great!
Ronee is the BEST at what she does! She perfectly executes the look you're going for, or provides expert advice on what would flatter you most if you're not sure what you want. She's easy to talk to and does absolutely excellent work.
Cynthia did an amazing job on everyone's hair. Very talented and sweet. Exceeded by expectations!
Meh. Hair was absolutely amazing but makeup was not. My trial makeup was not good at all and was blamed on the fact that I had a breakout at the time but the night before I had done my own makeup with same breakout going on and my makeup looked much less cakey than the trial makeup. Day of makeup was also meh. It still looked pretty cakey up close. I felt like there was hardly any setting spray sprayed on my face, all foundation came completely off my nose within a few hours, my false lashes came half way off on one eye before the ceremony even started and none of us wear fake lashes so we had no lash glue so I just had to have lashes half off from about 3-3:30 pm to 10 pm when the reception ended. If I could attach pictures here I would.
I worked with both Ronee and Lyndsey for my wedding day make-up - Ronee did the trial and Lyndsey ultimately did mine and 8(!) others, including my bridesmaids and the moms, on the day-of. Let me just say that they are rock stars! They listened closely to what we wanted and executed it well. Lyndsey was punctual, quick, but also super thorough and customized the make-up for each individual. My make-up did not budge despite an outdoor fall wedding in Texas. Very happy to have found them for my wedding day! Thank you!
Ronee was able to do 6 hair & 2 makeups in 5 hours & make us all feel so special! I went for my trial (you have to do this to relieve stress & save time day of) & was very happy. I also had a pretty strict timeline of each person so we could get plenty of photos before the ceremony & she was able to get it done no problem. I really enjoyed having her on my day. I originally had another stylist booked but I would have to travel to her day of. My MOH told me to keep looking. SOO glad I did!
I am so glad I booked Ronee for our wedding! Sometimes, with professional hair and makeup, you look good but you don't look like you. I loved that me and my girls looked good but also looked and felt like us. She and her team provided such a good vibe as we got ready. She took such good care of my mom too; she looked beautiful and age appropriate. If you book, definitely do a test beforehand! It was great going into my wedding day KNOWING I would look good.
Perfect!
Ronee was amazing!
She made me and my girls feel and look amazing on my day. If you are looking to hire someone for your hair and make up, hire her!
Ronee did an amazing job with my wedding hair and make up! She was very easy to talk to and approachable from the very beginning of my search for a make up artist. I did a trial with her and we discussed the look I wanted to achieve and she delivered with flying colors on my wedding day yesterday - Dec 12, 2021! She also did the hair and make up of my maid of honor at her salon and she was pleased as well. I definitely recommend her!
Ronni was amazing at hair I showed her a few images of updos I wanted and she made a perfect style on the first go. Her makeup assistant (forgot her name) made my looks like a beautiful princess and not overdone at all. We got married on the hottest day of the year in Texas in a barn with no AC and my makeup stayed on all day.
Great service! I had 2 bridesmaids plus myself. My makeup did NOT BUDGE all night long, despite the hot Texas heat. I was honestly amazed. Hair was also fantastic and turned out lovely. I highly recommend!
Wonderful to work with! Staff was polite, professional, and great at what they do! We were all super satisfied with our hair and make up!
Ronee and her team did an incredible job! We hired them for hair and makeup and I'm so glad we did! We had about 9 girls for hair and 6 girls for makeup. They breezed right through it and made us look great in such a short amount of time. They even came to our Air BnB early to set up their stuff. I appreciated their timeliness as it greatly reduced any stress I had and we ended up having a great time getting ready! Highly recommend! Thanks Ronee!
They were absolutely amazing! When they arrived set-up only took a couple of minutes and then were ready for action! My hair was breathtaking and makeup was exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend!
They did an amazing job on my friend and her bridesmaids' hair and makeup, and on mine as well.
