Megan D

Overall, I had a great experience with Elegance Salon. I cannot say enough good things about Marissa. She did an amazing job on my hair and makeup! I loved how it turned out and th...

e look lasted all day. The only reason I took off 2 stars was that the team did seem a little rushed all morning, but we ended up being ready an hour before I told them we had to be ready. One of the stylists kept rushing through and even left early. They were ahead of schedule the whole morning. I wish they would’ve taken more time on each Girl and not rushed us so we could be ready when I told my photographer to come. However, I think Marissa was not rushed and did a great job on our hair and makeup

I would definitely recommend her to anyone who asks to you for makeup.

s far as the whole team was concerned when it came to events. I was blown away by how awesome they were! We were supposed to start getting ready at 9 and they were there before then to get set up so they could actually start hair and makeup at 9. They were so great and helpful, and their attention to detail was outstanding. They were also very good with their time management. They had everyone done early and we all had time to "breathe" before the pictures and wedding started! It was such a relaxing time getting ready because no one was rushing and everyone had enough time. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies!!!

I first met Marissa at a Bridal Expo shortly after I got engaged. Once I found out her salon was in the same part of St. Louis where I lived with my fiancé, I immediately asked if ...

she could accept new clients. I had my hair cut and colored several times and I knew I had to have her and her team do my bridal hair and makeup along with my girls! They traveled to my hotel and made all of us look absolutely stunning for our big day! I still go to Marissa at Elegance Salon for my hair and now that we have a little boy, she cuts his hair too!

I had a picture of a half up, half down do. I absolutely loved it. It looked good the whole day and night. It did not even fall out on the dance floor.
