Gettysburg Day Spa

me and my girls!

air and makeup (every person looked amazing!), they sent an organized schedule to accommodate my timeline for the day and sent the necessary number of people to make sure we stayed on schedule. They did a variety of hairstyles and each was perfect. The staff leading up to the event was incredibly responsive, professional, and kind. The ladies who did our hair and makeup helped make the morning getting ready so enjoyable.

e absolutely incredible. They both did such a good job and multiple guests asked about our hair and makeup. Stacey and Rhiannon also have a great vibe & made the big day really chill. They both have very warm personalities and were so personable, it made the whole morning in our bridal suite relaxing! 🎉💌

ake 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!

lew 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

esmaid. 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.

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.

f 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.

even more stars if possible. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

iendly. 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!!!

ter 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.

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!

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!

onsive, 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!

s to them working with me, and a gift certificate from my mother in law, it was more affordable.

s 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!

nd 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.

s 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.

d my maids and I looked stunning.

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!

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!

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.

ur 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 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.

f 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.

hat 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.

ist 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.
