I used Emma Marie for my wedding day hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids, flower girls, mother of the bride, and aunts. At the beginning, communication was a little difficult but as it got closer to the wedding, they were a lot more responsive! Emma reached out the week of to confirm details. The day of the wedding, both Emma and her assistant were very friendly and arrived on time! I also did a hair and makeup trial with Emma prior to the wedding. During the trial, I had an allergic reaction to the makeup used (i have sensitive skin) and Emma was very accommodating and worked with me to use my own makeup to ensure I didn’t have a reaction on my wedding day.

These girls were so wonderful. They arrived early, were so kind and patient with us. My flower girls and bridesmaids hair styles were so beautiful they did a fantastic job. For me, I was nervous doing an updo but still was set on wanting one, and was having trouble communicating how I wanted it to them, they were so kind and patient with me and made sure that I was happy with my hair for my big day and it turned out beautifully!

t job with hair and makeup for me and three members of my bridal party. They helped me decide on a start time which ended up working out perfectly. We did not feel rushed at all while getting ready. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out and got many compliments on it throughout the night. I wore my hair half up/ half down, and my curls stayed put the entire night! I highly recommend this salon!

Emma did my bridal makeup, as well as the makeup for my mother, mother in law, and 2 bridesmaids. I was so impressed with her work. Everyone's makeup looked effortlessly beautiful....
I did not have a trial done, but gave her inspiration photos of people with similar skin tone and features as myself. My end look was exactly what I hoped for. Despite 90 degree heat and extreme humidity, our makeup lasted morning to evening. Thank you Emma!

Emma Marie's Salon is amazing. 21 days before my wedding, my original hair/makeup person canceled on me. Emma was amazing and was willing to figure out a way that her salon could h...
elp me out. Emma cut/toned my hair the week before my wedding (even squeezing me in for this appt.) and Sara came the day of to do hair and makeup for both my mom and I. I was so worried going into hair and makeup because someone new would be doing my hair/makeup but Sara was FANTASTIC!! She made me feel so comfortable the day of and was always making sure I liked everything she was doing and if there was anything I wanted her to change (which wasn't needed). My hair got pulled up by the end of the night because I was so hot (July Bride) but it lasted perfectly up until then and my makeup lasted me ALL day with no issues (even in the heat). Sara was very personable and talked to us/the group of ladies I had around me all morning, she fit into my wedding morning perfectly. Emma Marie's Salon is now my new salon I go to and I will recommend them whenever I have the chance to!

I would highly recommend this salon for your wedding! I was a bridesmaid for a wedding and they did amazing with both the hair and makeup. I had already booked them for my wedding ...
at this point so it just made me so much more excited. Communication leading up to my wedding was professional and helpful. They make sure you feel like yourself still with your hair and makeup and address any concerns you have. I can’t recommend them enough!

got all 6 of my bridesmaids done as well as my mother with time to spare. They were great with a last minute change in location too! They also had an easy going attitude and were fun to chat with while getting ready. Sara really listened to my notes from the trial and encouraged me to keep track of any changes I wanted to make for the day of which was a great tip. Overall, my makeup and hair held pretty well (despite doing photos in the rain!) and I would definitely recommend their services.
