Gettysburg Day Spa

The girls from Gettysburg Day Spa were amazing! On my wedding day, I had a larger bridal party in addition to my mom, mother in law, and my husband's stepmom all needing hair and make up done. The team from Gettysburg Day Spa worked efficiently and diligently to make sure we were all ready in time all while taking their time to make us all feel at our best. We all absolutely loved our hair and make up. The girls were able to take our visions and run with it which we really appreciated. I would 100% recommend using Gettysburg Day Spa!

Wow I can’t hype these guys up enough. When it came to my bridal trial they were super helpful with the vision I was looking for, then come the day of, my hair and makeup stylist blew me away!! They made me feel so beautiful and they were both super friendly. They also did multiple of of my bridesmaids hair and makeup and everyone was impressed with the quality and the timing of everything. HIGHLY recommend

We absolutely loved Gettysburg Day Spa! They were efficient and so much fun to work with! Multiple bridesmaids said their hair was their favorite hair style they ever had as a bridesmaid. Makeup looked flawless and fit each girls' makeup style. They also offered to stay on site after they were finished to do necessary touch ups if needed. The GDS team took the stress out of hair and makeup and made it fun while also making me feel beautiful and executing my vision.

Amanda and her team did an excellent job taking care of me and my bridal party. During my trial they paid attention to each detail in order to assure that everything would proceed smoothly on the day of the wedding. The hair and makeup artists arrived on time with all their supplies and worked so effectively that they were even able to finish early, which helped to relieve one of my biggest stressors! I was so impressed with their professionalism and their value in comparison with other vendors.

GDS is so wonderful! Amanda (coordinator) was so easy to work with, and so patient with all of my questions. MiKayla (make-up) did a great job and was, again, so patient with all of my questions and my mom and MIL who weren't sure how best to balance make-up with their maturity. Stacey (hair) did 5 different styles and nailed each of them!! The moms, bridesmaids, and me were SO happy with our hair and make-up! I've also been so happy with GDS for regular hair/eyebrow appointments, and will continue to go to them.

They did an AMAZING job with not only my hair and makeup, but all of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-law. Also highly recommend their spray tanning services. I would give them even more stars if possible. Highly recommend!

Brides, moms, bridesmaids, and GROOMS TOO: get in touch with one of the premier salons in South Central PA as soon as you can! Amanda will respond to all your questions and guide you through the process, you’ll design your look and spoil yourself silly with beauty pros and wonderful women like Jodi, Rhiannon, Stacey, and Sheryl (who made me feel like the most confident, beautiful bride, surpassing all my expectations). Payment was simple and easy, scheduling was a breeze, and the salon is a peaceful haven to relax and prepare- or, they will come to you! I didn’t want Stacey and Rhiannon to leave; I wish they could have stayed for the party! These women have made a lifelong client out of this bride. Thanks, ladies!

I got married in May and decided to go with Gettysburg Day Spa for all my beauty essentials for my big day, one because it was where I already went for my normal hair/other beauty needs and two because they conveniently were willing to travel to my wedding venue the day of to take care of our hair and makeup which was so amazing and made the day feel far more relaxing. Amanda is great to work with and very responsive and extremely organized. She always managed to take care of every schedule change I needed to make and always responded very efficiently. The entire hair and makeup crew did such a fantastic job! I highly recommend Sierra for your big day up do, she is phenomenal, however the whole team comes highly recommended in my opinion for anything you want to make your wedding day perfect!

I absolutely LOVED my experience with Gettysburg Day Spa for my wedding day hair and makeup. My trial went very well. The staff were all incredibly punctual, professional, and friendly. I also felt the prices were very reasonable. They worked onsite at my venue (Liberty Mountain Resort's Laventide Spa) on the day of the wedding. They did an impeccable job on all of my bridesmaids' and the mothers' hair and makeup. Everyone looked flawless. They all stayed right on schedule so we had plenty of time for our photo plans that day. Siarra did my hair and she did a beautiful job translating my vision into reality. I had gone outside to take photos hair during some major wind and it still stayed up pretty well. She welcomed me to come back for a touch up if it was necessary so I took her up on it. I ran back into the salon - in my full gown - and she immediately smoothed it right out just before the ceremony. She was a DREAM and so lovely. I was also incredibly satisfied with my makeup which Tara did. Again, a flawless job translating my vision into reality using several different photos. My airbrush makeup held up very well and people constantly commented and how perfect it looked. She made me feel very glamourous for our evening winter wedding without looking "too much." I honestly couldn't say enough about how wonderful they were. I highly encourage anyone to book with them!!!

Gettysburg day spa did our hair and makeup and our nails the day before. Everyone's hair turned out great. I would definitely recommend them. One of the girls nail chipped right after we got them done and they brought the nail polish the next day and touched it up for her. They were very nice to work with.

All the girls looked beautiful and my hair and make up were flawless!

After having a terrible experience with a different company for my bridal trial for both hair and makeup, I found Gettysburg Day Spa last minute and they were very accommodating to work me in their schedule with less than a month's notice. Amanda is the one I worked with for scheduling everything and she was always so sweet. Siara did my hair and Nikki did my makeup and I honestly felt beyond beautiful for my special day. I am so lucky to have found them and could not have asked for a better experience!

We worked with the Gettysburg Day Spa for my wedding on October 7th, 2018. Amanda did my nails the day prior, and was a pleasure to work with. Stacey did hair for my sisters and my mom the day of my wedding at the Gettysburg Hotel, and was absolutely lovely! She was so sweet and patient with my crazy family, and made everyone look absolutely beautiful. Their hair stayed put all day long! Meli did my hair and makeup, and she made me look awesome! She knew exactly how to make me stand out for my big day. She made me laugh and put my nerves at ease when I started to stress as she did my hair and makeup. She was easy to talk to, she listened to what I wanted, and made me look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Thank you to everyone I worked with at Gettysburg Day Spa. My mom, sisters, and I looked wonderful, our makeup and hair stayed put, and we couldn't have been happier!

I got my hair and makeup done here for my wedding day. The girls made me look and feel amazing! They definitely know what they’re doing.

Booking with Gettysburg Day Spa for my bridal party's hair and makeup was one of the best wedding decisions I made. From the very beginning, they were incredibly organized and responsive, which was critical to me because I was planning the wedding long distance. They helped me to book things as far in advance as possible, and worked with me to reschedule my hair/makeup trial in the months before my wedding. They traveled to my home on the day of our wedding, which made the difference in what turned out to be a relaxing morning. They arrived on time and prepared, and worked tirelessly to get everyone's hair and makeup done by the time my photographer arrived. They even styled my niece's hair, who was our 5-year-old flower girl, and were so patient and kind with her first experience getting her "hair done." Thank you so much to all the women at Gettysburg Day Spa to help make my wedding perfect - my hair was an exact match to what I had dreamed of, and all the girls looked gorgeous. I highly recommend this group for your wedding - extremely reasonable prices and absolutely wonderful service. Thank you!

Both my hair and makeup trials and actuals were great. The artists worked with me to try different things and get the perfect result. It was a little over my price point, but thanks to them working with me, and a gift certificate from my mother in law, it was more affordable.

I will start by saying that I am someone who wears makeup daily and loves beauty/cosmetics. So I had high standards going into choosing a salon. Melissa, Browyn, and the other girls at Gettysburg Day Spa met my expectations and then some. They were flexible, responsive, and perfectly brought my wedding beauty vision to life. My hair was perfect thanks to Browyn and Melissa made sure my makeup was everything I wanted it to be. They use great quality makeup brands and products. Their prices are fair, and they are super friendly which is the icing on the cake! I highly recommend them especially if you are a makeup lover!

Overall, we had a positive experience. For bridal/wedding packages, they are definitely overpriced, even for very short MOB hair. The makeup turned out amazing, everyone loved it and looked great, very classy. The nails were beautiful. I had a few adjustments to make to my hair between the trial and the wedding day, but it turned out amazing! Make sure to do the hair and makeup trial, just be prepared to pay a portion of your package price that day. I’d say overall we were all satisfied and it was nice to go to their location on wedding day to relax.

I had a great customer experience from beginning to end! Amanda did a fabulous job of answering all of my questions, scheduling my appointments and putting me at ease. I had 3 girls come out onsite to my wedding venue and do hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, moms and flower girls. I would definitely recommend Gettysburg Day Spa for your bridal hair and makeup services.

The hair & makeup ladies came out to our venue so we could do everything in one location, made it all really convenient. The girls did a wonderful job, everyone is very talented and my maids and I looked stunning.

The day before the wedding, I received a no-chip manicure which chipped less than 24 hours later. So, I started off the day with significantly chipped nails. My updo- the bride’s hair- was finished first; it took my stylist thirty-five minutes to do a bridal updo (instead of the usual hour). Unfortunately, it looked nothing like what we had planned during my trial. The curls in the back felt loose, and when I asked if she was sure they would hold, she said she had no doubt. My sister’s stylist finished shortly after mine (Her hair looked very nice!), and both stylists left immediately to do wedding updos at an on-site location. My hair was rushed to accommodate someone else’s wedding, and- consequently- my updo began falling out about twenty minutes after I left. We had to buy a mini bottle of hairspray and bobby pins from the hotel lobby to try and fix my hair in time for the ceremony. I felt like I wasn’t a priority at all. My mother asked her stylist for a chignon brought to the side with some loose pieces around her face. She has very curly hair, which typically needs brushed out/re-curled for updos. The stylist proceeded to put no product in my mom’s hair, and started pinning back her hair with it unbrushed. By the time the stylist had finished, my mother’s hair was slicked back in a tight librarian-like style on the back of her head. I came over and tried to clarify for my mother what she wanted. I asked the stylist to make it a little looser and to bring the hair to the side so it could be seen from the front. The stylist then proceeded to do the exact same style with less bobby pins and a large chunk of hair left in the front to represent some sort of bang. It looked like my mom had thrown her hair up in a bun and had forgotten a piece in the front. Aggravated, my mother, sister, and I paid and left. After spending over an hour in the salon, we did not have time to try and have corrections done. We had to do it ourselves. Two days after the wedding, my mother posted a short review about the salon while I was on my honeymoon. Instead of reaching out to my mother- the one who was upset and had paid for the experience- I was contacted via email asking what my thoughts were about the service compared to my mom. I then spent the next few days of my honeymoon emailing back and forth with the manager, who apologized and provided some excuses for the situation. She also said that she would talk to the staff in a few weeks during a formal hair training class, and she also reminded us that her team opened the spa early for us (maybe to keep us from complaining?). I used to manage a hair salon myself in Chicago, so I explained to the manager how I would have handled the situation (I would have called the unhappy client to understand further what had gone wrong, offered redos on the nails, reimbursement/credit for the hair, etc.). Collectively we spent over $800 in the spa for hair and nails, and we were rushed through our services, given low-quality work, followed by low-quality crisis control. I am so disappointed with what I was sure to be an amazing experience. In the end, the manager did reimburse us for one updo and my manicure, but that doesn’t undo what occurred the morning of my wedding. I cannot give my genuine recommendation for any bride to use Gettysburg Day Spa for their wedding services. I am so disappointed with the way we were treated and hope that this review helps future Gettysburg brides!

Lidnsey Gaines did my hair & makeup for my October wedding. She did an absolute wonderful job!!!! She knew exactly what I was picturing in my head but couldn't put it into words. She did exactly what I wanted!!! I am so blessed to have had someone so amazing make me look like a superstar on one of the most important days of my life!! Truly an amazing job! I recommend her to Everyone I know that is getting married!! Thank you again!

Appointments for nails for 3 and bride and bridesmaids. Very accommodating beforehand, even with the trial. But, the nails were a disappointment. In fact, the bride's nails were uneven and chipped in 12 hours--even with gel/no-chip. The stylists had another wedding they had to travel to. The bride's hair took less than 45 minutes so that they could run off, and it was not as it had been practiced. (We have the pics to prove it). In addition, much of it fell out before the ceremony (2 hours later). It was redone by a guest. One of the other's getting her hair done ended up taking it down. NO hairspray was used as it was being done. None. Never have I seen an updo completed without a squirt of hairspray or any product. The hair was not brushed out beforehand. It was, truly, one of the weakest hair appointments I have ever witnessed. And, let's add that it was $500 to have all the hair done, and $300 for the nails. $800....I think they believe if the word "spa" is in the name, it's a 'classy' place. I don't mind paying for excellence. I mind paying for shoddy work. Never again. One of the most disappointing experiences ever.

Gettysburg Day Spa was disappointing. They were overpriced and difficult to work with. After completing my contract and scheduling my trial, they waited just three weeks before our wedding day to call and schedule the Bridesmaids and I’s appointments. This would not have been as upsetting if they had kept the times I originally requested. Knowing we’d need to be out of the salon by 2 pm at the latest to be in time for the rest of the day’s activities, I purposely requested a late morning appointment. To my disappointment, I was told my girls and I were not even scheduled to start until 2pm! Even worse, when I asked if there were any ability to move the appointment forward, they would not budge, given they’d already scheduled other clients for that morning. Luckily, we had an evening ceremony, so we made it work, but the photos with my girls were cut short given we didn’t leave the salon until after 4pm. Overall, I felt rushed, being the last appointments for the day, with little to any expectations having been met. I will not be going back to Gettysburg Day Spa again.

I got my gel manicure done here for my wedding day and my nails were gorgeous! The ladies here were sweet and great to talk to as well!

I loved my experience with Gettysburg day spa. It was two weeks before my wedding and my make-up plan fell through. I was able to use my credit with the Lodges at Gettysburg, where I was getting married, to use towards make-up for my sister, mom, and I. I was very impressed with how accommodating they were to my last minute requests. We were able to book a make-up trial a week before the wedding with Tara and then Tara traveled to do our make-up on location on the big day. Kathy was great every step of the way making sure that everything was taken care of. I was so happy with my make-up that day and it really helped to boost my confidence and feel like the beautiful bride that I was.

The Gettysburg Day Spa did a wonderful job with hair and makeup for our wedding. They provided manicures and pedicures the day before, and they came to do hair and makeup the day of the wedding. Everything was outstanding. Both the hair and makeup held up extremely well throughout the wedding and reception. We are happy to recommend the Gettysburg Day Spa.

I loved my hair and make-up the day of my wedding, but it was pricey. If you go with them, definitely go for the trial. It was really helpful, because I had trouble communicating what I wanted for my make-up. I, however, was a little disappointed with my nails. They turned out great, but when I got there for my manicure, the manicurist said she didn't know how to do a French manicure. She had to get someone else to do it. And my pedicure chipped as soon as I left. But they did fix it. Overall, I was happy, but it was expensive.

Two of my bridesmaids and I had our makeup done at the Gettysburg Day Spa’s location at The Lodges at Gettysburg for my wedding. Their prices are VERY expensive. Their makeup artist was very nice and she did a good job. For the price of the services, you’d think you get more. I couldn’t believe the prices – you’d think they were located in New York City, not Gettysburg! I had my makeup done for my boudoir photo shoot in Cleveland, OH, which is a bigger city and I didn’t pay near what they charge (even for the trial run). The only reason I used their services is because I had a spa credit to use for getting married at The Lodges at Gettysburg. My bridesmaids and I were able to get our makeup done for free with my credit.
