One of the best decisions I made while wedding planning was booking this team for my hair and makeup! I could write multiple paragraphs raving about my experience, but to save you all the length here are the points to what made this the best de...
cision.
1. Flexibility - ablilty to adjust the amount of people, services, and timing up to a just couple weeks before the wedding. I really benefitted from this as some of my bridal party wasn't sure if they would get their hair/make up done (or be able to attend due to moving) and this made it easy to allow more time before making the decision.
2. One stop shop for all your hair needs - I wanted extensions and a color match prior to the wedding and did it all through the salon
3. Upfront about the cost - before coming in for an extension consultation Krystal was up front about the general cost which was much appreciated to know what I was getting into before arriving, quote was for maximum estimated people, breakdown all costs, and included tip!
4. Punctuality! This team was set up and ready to go 15 minutes before the contracted time even started. Krystal was proactive in reaching out to me and discussing timing off all appointments which helped keep me on track and not overwhelmed!
5. The energy!! Shout out to Bekka & Lexie for making this experience the best! Getting 8 people ready in a short period of time is not an easy task. I couldn't have asked for a better start to the day than having that team take care of me. They were incredibly encouraging and it truly felt like they were celebrating with me!

Congratulations Elisabeth, we are so pleased to have you in our Cactus family. It was a joy to be with you and your crew on your big day!
Absolutely loved my experience using Cactus! We had 13 people getting ready and the Dream Team came ready to go and we ended up finishing ahead of schedule which gave us time to chill instead of being crunched on time! I was very anxious the da...
y of my wedding and the dream team was hyping me up the whole time to help calm me down.

Everyone looked beautiful!

Dream team doesn't even begin to describe the ladies at Cactus. When our bridal party walked in on the morning of my wedding, we were greeted by a team of hair and makeup pros, mimosas, and a platter of sandwiches and fruit. Logan styled my hai...
r and did my makeup and when she was done, I couldn't believe how amazing and beautiful I felt. Not only that, but everyone's hair and makeup stayed perfect the whole day! No one had to touch up or make changes throughout the day.
We also utilized the shuttle service. It was so fun and really made the trip to the venue easier than having multiple cars.
Krystal is also incredible. She was so easy to plan with and answered all my questions quickly and kindly. Our whole bridal party felt at home with Cactus. If I could give them more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!

Bridget you look stunning along with your pretty wedding party. Logan and Monica did a seamless job! Thank you for allowing Cactus to be a part of such an important day. We truly cherish weddings.
Hired them for me and my bridal party for just hair services and no makeup - everyone loved their hair and they really were easy to work with! Really contributed to a chill morning-of vibe. When I went and did the hair trial, I liked it, but ha...
d comments for the day-of. My stylist took my comments and ran with it, and really made my hair exactly what I wanted and it was stunningly gorgeous.
To be honest, they are pricier than I was originally looking for, but after experiencing my entire wedding day, I do not regret it at all - they were worth every penny!

From the beginning Krystal and her team have been amazing!!! I could have not asked for a better group of ladies to do my hair and make up. Logan, Lexi and Kate are all AMAZING!!! They dealt with our silliness in our bridal suite and still did ...

anding. Becca was my stylist and makeup artist and she killed it. I have very fine and thin hair and the owner, Krystal, helped me find the perfect halo hair piece, styled it for me, and they all gave me mad confidence on something I was very self conscience about. They’re my personal hair stylists too! Love love love them!! I cannot say enough good things about Cactus Hair Salon and the staff. Thank you all! ❤️💋

Cactus Salon was an amazing hair and make up team for my special day! From the trial to the big day, Kaleigh and Logan made everything perfect! Krystal, salon owner, was easy to get in touch with and was quick to respond to any questions I had.
Response from the Vendor on 10/24/2022
Thank you Becca for the great review. You looked stunning on your big day. We hope to work with you more:)
Krystal and her team are phenomenal!! They did hair and makeup for 11 people the morning of my wedding in a very quick timeline.
They were on time, prepared and so easy to work with!
I would highly recommend for hair and makeup!!
Cactus Hair Salon was exactly what I needed to find for my wedding day. Initially I was planning on doing my own hair and make-up because I didn't think it was that important and a friend changed my mind and BOY, AM I GLAD SHE DID. Cactus Hair ...
Salon was super communicative leading up to the trial and my wedding. I was asked questions about my style and what I was looking for so that I could be paired with the right person. Jessie did my hair and make-up and I looked like a freaking princess!! It was perfect. I am still looking at pictures from that day, including pictures that Jessie took and I am blown away! She also came to me in Hocking Hills when it was only me getting hair and make-up done which was hard to find. I would definitely recommend anyone getting married, especially in the Hocking Hills area, use Cactus Hair Salon.

Though they were unavailable to do my wedding party’s hair and make-up (that’s on me looking so late in the midst of COVID reschedules), I have to say Krystal went above and beyond to try to have a team available for our wedding day though many...
of her team members were booked. I appreciate her efforts and her kindness through the chaos of planning a wedding throughout COVID, and am confident ife= she would have been able to book us, she and her team would have handled our wedding day beautifully- just look at previous reviews and photos! Thanks again for your kindness and efforts.
It is no secret that I am funny about my hair. But from the time I booked looked bridal hair and make up for me and my twelve-year-old daughter, I have been going to the salon. They are always so nice and my hair always looks so good when I lea...
ve.. They're really knowledgeable about what is going to be good for my hair as well as my hair goals. The day of my wedding, was a dream. And a moment that probably would have been very stressful, Getting ready was a really special time for me and my daughter as well as the girls that were beautifying us defying us. I highly recommend using this salon! they do great work!

I really enjoyed working with Cactus for wedding hair and makeup. I highly recommend having a trial done at their studio, it’s so cute and the staff is lovely. The only reason I gave it 4 stars rather than 5 is just because my makeup artist cha...

I was not on top of booking beauty services for our wedding, and struck out with the few businesses which were commonly recommended on Columbus wedding forums. Luckily, I discovered Cactus Hair Salon, and even more luckily they were available f...
or our date! Huge shout out to Logan, the lead stylist for our day. She kept everyone organized, calm, and finished ahead of schedule! She incorporated my feedback from our trial and my wedding-day hair was better than I imagined! She also suggested hair pins, which really completed the look with elegance and a little pizzaz. My updo stayed in place all night (even survived a bridesmaid getting her bouquet tangled in my hair!). Kenna was our makeup artist and Lexi was our second stylist. Kenna is super sweet and loves natural color palettes, which is just what I wanted for makeup. Kenna, Lexi, and Logan were all professional and friendly, and able to handle different hair types of our wedding party (from very curly and fine and straight). Everyone’s curls held the whole night, even one bridesmaid who in 10 years I have never seen successfully curl her hair. We had 8 hair services and 3 makeup services in just under 3 hours, on-site at the venue. When I was a bit concerned about this timeline ahead of our big day, the owner Krystal was happy to talk this through with me and assuage my fears. She was always available by text or email to answers my questions in the lead-up to our big day. They also offer in-salon wedding services at their Canal Winchester location, which is brand new as of Summer 2021 and so cute inside (this is where my trial was)! I would HIGHLY recommend Cactus Hair Salon and their wedding services!
