La Pomponnee Beauty Artisans

eryone was so friendly and really listened to what each woman wanted. It was also so convenient that they could come to our house (though the salon is a great space to get ready, too!). Everyone's hair and makeup lasted beautifully until the end of the night. Definitely recommend!

rk with. On my trial day, she listened to my input and worked with my hair until I was totally satisfied with the end result. We tried two different styles that day and she was incredibly patient and eager to make sure I loved my hair. On my actual wedding day, my hair looked even more incredible than it did on the trial day, which I didn't think was possible! Kristen made me feel so incredibly beautiful and glamorous. My entire family and bridal party loved her as well and everyone was completely satisfied with their hair. I am so grateful that I chose La Pomponnee for my wedding day. I can't say enough positive statements about this salon's dedication to their clients, their professionalism, and their kindness.

team are an absolute dream team! Not only was my bridal hair and makeup stunning, but my mom's and bridesmaid's hair and makeup was flawless! Everyone looked amazing and most importantly felt amazing and beautiful :) I will always recommend La Pomponnee to anyone and couldn't imagine anyone else being responsible for my hair! Before the wedding my mom and I also received the best manicures and pedicures we have ever gotten! Overall, every service that La Pomponnee provided for my wedding, and just regular life in general is always top notch. Thankful that my Aunt Patty works at such an amazing salon and introduced me to the best salon in Pittsburgh :)

getting booked very organized and simple. Kristen is so personal and welcoming, she really cares about her brides vision. She puts your mind at ease, which is such a nice trait from a vendor during the wedding planning process. Carla (bridal coordinator) answered every email and phone call question I had about anything and was so helpful. Being a "covid bride" my Fall 2020 wedding ended up being postponed a year and in the scramble of the rescheduling process La Pomponnee was already booked for my new date. I was crushed! But Kristen was kind enough to suggest another hair/makeup service she knew and trusted would be a good fit for me. I thought that was so great of her to still be trying to take care of a bride to be who wasn't working with her! In the weirdest turn of events, I was getting ready to sign a new contract with new hair/makwup service and I get a call from Carla. She told me there was a cancellation on my new wedding date and could rebook if I wanted. I obviously jumped right back to La Pomponnee. They didnt have to do that since they probably had 50 more brides calling them to book, but the fact they knew how important this was to me and thought of me just shows how they truly care about their clients. The day of my wedding, Kristen and her team killed it! My bridesmaids and looked better than I ever could have imagined. I had Soo many guests saying how they loved my look and thought the bridesmaids looked gorgeous. Even the mothers who don't really do makeup loved how they looked! Our hair/makeup stayed put through eating, drinking and sweating on the dance floor. Lauren did my bridal make up and nailed it. From trial to day of, she made me feel so comfortable and communicated so we that I knew was in good hands. Kristen and team really make day of a pampering experience and want bridesmaids and mothers to be happy with their looks. There's a reason they keep being ranked #1 salon for wedding services and book up early out. I Highly recommend their bridal services.

hair and make-up. Kristen did my hair and Lauren did my make-up. They were so wonderful and accommodated all of our needs. My now mother-in-law does not wear make-up, and they worked with her to help her feel comfortable. The morning went so smoothly. They arrived at my venue while we were at breakfast and were ready for us as soon as we got back. We were ahead of schedule and had time to relax before getting dressed. Everyone looked and felt amazing. Thank you, La Pomponnee!

dolled me up, and my bridesmaids all looked and felt their best! La Pomponnee was wonderful to worked with - extremely professional and punctual. I would recommend any bride in the Pittsburgh area to use La Pomponnee as their beauty team!

ey create perfect looks for everyone, but the level of professionalism and fun that they brought to the day was amazing! Kristen styled my hair & Lauren created my makeup look & I received countless compliments all night. I can't thank La Pomponnee enough for making our day so special!!

en listened to exactly what I wanted and provided great recommendations on everything from modifications of the style that I wanted to which hair extensions to purchase. I was so obsessed with how my hair looked on the day of my wedding, and I did not think it was possible for me to be that happy with my hair! In addition to Kristen, La Pomponnee provided a deep bench of talent to pull from for my wedding party. I had a large wedding party (8 bridesmaids, 2 mothers of the bride/groom and 3 junior bridesmaids), and Kristen and her associates did such an amazing job on each person. Everyone was thrilled with how their hair looked!

e a true joy to work with and set my mind at ease the day of. After my hair and make up was complete I felt absolutely stunning as every bride should. My bridesmaids had so much fun and loved getting their hair done by the La Pompanee team. It’s great that they are willing to travel to your wedding location. It really does make life so much easier. I couldn’t recommend them more to get you ready on your big day!

o emphasize this on my wedding day by keeping my natural curl in an up-do. This has not proved to be an easy task when getting my hair done for several weddings I've been a part of over the years. I showed up to the initial consultation with several photos of what I had in mind, and Kristen worked with my hair like she had hundreds of times before! She envisioned exactly what I wanted (and didn't want) on my wedding day, and she NAILED IT. And Paige is a rockstar! The whole team was wonderful - they worked quickly to make sure each of my friends looked and felt flawless on my wedding day. This was very important to me, as my bridesmaids had travelled far distances, and done so much for me leading up to this day! The whole morning-of experience was quite possibly the best of the entire day - a fun day spent getting pampered with my best friends. The team of talented artists at La Pomponneé made us all feel at ease and absolutely gorgeous. Brides, look no further! You deserve to look as good as La Pomponneé will make you feel on the morning of your wedding :) Shout out to Kristen and Paige, who did my hair and make up! xoxo, Alexis

umid day of outdoor photos. Kristen was so understanding and helpful during my trial, and even rolled with the punches when I decided to tweak my hairstyle for the wedding. My fine, straight hair held a beautiful low updo all day and night. The team was so calm, cool and collected while styling us and made the day go so smoothly. And before my big day, Amy gave me a fresh cut and beautiful color while Bonnie did a fabulous job on my eyebrows. I highly recommend booking La Pomponnee for your wedding day!

hairdos that suited every hair length and type. The make up team was also incredible. They dolled us all up and accentuated our natural beauty. They really understood what we were going for and found a way to make us look our best! I have never felt so beautiful and it really made my day special.

ted without me having to know. I couldn’t have been happier with how my hair looked and held up throughout the entire day and night! Louise did my make up and found the perfect balance between flawless and not too overwhelming. I honestly felt like the prettiest bride walking out of the salon. All of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous and we all would definitely recommend La Pomponnee!

dding, I knew I had to go with the best. From beginning to end, Kristen, Spencer and Amy made sure that my whole bridal party felt comfortable and got exactly what they wanted, from intricate up-dos to braids to curls. Everyone looked completely stunning and the makeup and hair lasted throughout the entire day. As a bride, I had a very particular old Hollywood glam vibe that I was going for and Spencer/Kristen made it come to life (in fact, it exceeded my expectations). I cannot recommend Kristen and her incredible team enough. If you're looking for the best in the burgh for hair/makeup for your big day, look no further than La Pomponnee.

ust Gabby with my hair. She does a beautiful job every time. Every time I go into the salon I feel very welcome. The team works as a well-oiled machine. It’s truly impressive to watch! For our wedding day, Gabby did my hair to perfection and Paige did a beautiful, natural make up look. The girls are friendly, and they really listened to what I envisioned for the day. They exceeded my expectations in every way—I felt so beautiful! I continue to see Gabby every 6 weeks for my cuts and colors. My sister, sisters-in-law, mother-in-law, and I will also be having the girls do our hair and makeup for our reception in the spring! UPDATE: The bridal team at La Pomponnee has done it again! I am a regular La Pomponnee client (shout out to Gabby who wonderfully maintains my style and color!). My husband and I eloped in October (see review #1 above!), and we had a cocktail reception this March to celebrate. Before the reception, I had hair and makeup done for a group of five women including myself. Kristen, Gabby, and Paige took such good care of us. They came to the venue and did everything on-site in just a few hours, and we had a blast while getting glammed up. The girls listened to what we wanted, and boy did they deliver! My sister-in-law has lots of long, thick hair, which she really wanted curled but wasn’t sure if it would hold. Kristen was up for the challenge, and she made the vision come to life. We were calling my SIL Beyoncé—the curl looked AMAZING and really held up. All five of us could not have been happier with how beautiful everything turned out, and the hair and makeup lasted all night through eating, drinking, dancing, and lots of smiles/hugs/kisses. Look no further than La Pomponnee for your bridal party beauty!

at what she does! Her salon truly made my bridal party look stunning. Love La Pomponee

heduled was a breeze and she was always quick to return my emails/phone calls. Mae did my hair and I honestly could not have been happier with it. Louise has a true talent with make up and together they made my bridal look absolutely beautiful. From the hair trial to the day of the wedding both Mae and Louise made me feel totally comfortable and I wasn’t afraid to say if I wanted something done differently. They were so accommodating and truly wanted to make sure I was happy. Several other stylists completed the looks of my bridal party and they all looked beautiful. We got so many compliments on how pretty the girls looked and everyone’s hair and makeup stayed in place. I would 100% go back for special occasion hair and make up!

ill the case after my wedding day. I had 11 girls, including my mom and MIL, that needed to get their hair done before 1130am so that they could get back the hotel and get makeup done before the ceremony. Carla helped coordinate all of this with me and everything turned out perfect and on time! She really made the booking/planning process easy and stress free. The girls all loved their hair and looked so gorgeous!! I have to say that my mom was initially disappointed in the way hers turned out but was too afraid to say something. Amy overheard her telling me and another hairstylist, Emily, stepped in right away to redo her hair and save the day. Their kindness and willingness to help was so special! She left loving her hair. Thank you to everyone at La Pomponnee!!

d makeup combo the day of for both me and my girls.

had nothing to worry about and had a schedule in mind that she would work off of so that each girl had enough time to get their hair done. Kristen and Elizabeth showed up to my venue early to set up and were ready to start exactly at the time we had planned on! I, as the bride, was so pleased with how my hair looked! Kristen made me feel beautiful and spent so much time to make my hair look exactly how I wanted it, which I really appreciated. Also, she made sure that I had some quiet time with her when I was getting my hair done so that I could have time to just relax, take the day in, and focus on how I wanted my hair to look. I would highly recommend La Pomponnee to all future brides! We all received so many compliments on our hair! I, along with my mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids were very happy and our hair looked GORGEOUS! Thank you so much, La Pomponnee!

idal party, and mother of the bride, and it was oh-my-gosh-amazing. The La Pomponee ladies are incredibly talented, and they helped me to look exactly how I wanted for the big day. They are friendly, funny, and of course talented-- I even told them I was sure they were using magic! (seriously, what they did in the three hour chunk they had was just unbelievable.) A huge thanks to them for all they did and helped us with-- by far my favorite part of the wedding process. :)

ready, which was a huge convenience. My hair dresser was Kristen, and she did a wonderful job with my hair. I used extensions the day of my wedding an she was able to make them blend perfectly with my hair so no one could tell (everyone kept commenting on how they couldn't believe how long my hair looked when I loosened the curls - I have really curly natural hair). She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids hair! She used the hairstyle I picked out and put her own twist on it, giving each bridesmaid a slight variation of the same style, which I loved! Luisa did my make-up and several of my bridesmaids make-up, as well, and I absolutely loved it. She made my skin look flawless and my eyes pop! Thanks to her, I photographed great! She also was exceptionally nice and open to absolutely any suggestions (I had quite a few). She didn't get frustrated when I wanted to change things and was actually excited for the challenge. I got endless compliments on both my make-up and hair, and was 100% satisfied. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They are a bit pricey, but they do quality work for sure, and I think it was worth every penny.

I felt and looked beautiful. My hair was perfection!

nd curled, did my makeup, and use fake eyelashes. Their Aveeda products are a bit pricey but well worth it. Everything lasted the entire day from 10-11. It was well worth it, and my bridesmaids all loved getting dolled up there, too!
