Tonya @ Essex Salon did my hair and makeup for my wedding. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish and I felt beautiful the entire day. She was very professional, and I felt it was a good value for her services. My Matron of Honor also had her make up done and was extremely pleased. I highly recommend Essex Salon and Spa.

Very easy to work with, they both were very kind and heard what I needed on my day and everyone else. Everyone felt beautiful and both were comfortable styling Bi-racial hair! this was a huge factor for me and my hair looked amazing.
The only negative is my cousin had very sensitive skin that i was not aware of at the time, she had a slight breakout afterword.
