- BaileyMakeup ArtistHey!! I was born and raised here in the Lexington/Gilbert Area. I’m a Licensed Esthetician in South Carolina with a love for making people feel beautiful inside and out. My love for skin care, makeup, and just all around beauty came from stealing all of my mommas goodies when she was going through cosmetology school years ago. Who knew years later I'd make a career out of it. I graduated in March of 2025 with a determination in specializing in custom facials and waxing. My goal is to always give you glowing results and for you to be able to relax and take a breather. When I'm not in the treatment room , I’m usually chasing around my four legged baby Bentley and spending time with my soon to be husband , Whether that be shopping or going out on the boat. With all that being said, I'm so thrilled to be starting this chapter with Lexington Roots Salon and Bridal , So come and book with me even if it’s just to relax or to get down to the niddy-gritty of your skin problems.

Lexington Roots Salon and Bridal provided excellent service for my wedding day hair and makeup. Their communication was fast and clear, which helped make the planning process smoot...
h. The quality of their work was great, and they used high-quality products that left my hair and skin looking flawless. On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time and went above and beyond to perfect my look exactly as I wanted. The team at Lexington Roots Salon was friendly and attentive, helping to make me feel relaxed and confident for my big day. I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for reliable and talented beauty professionals.

They got flights to Texas to do hair and make up for my wedding. Their flights got cancelled and they immediately jumped in the car to make the drive all the way here as we had no ...
back up plan. They ended up sitting in traffic behind an accident for 4+ hours and got to work the second they arrived without having slept at all and traveling all night. They did excellent work and got everything done with time to spare! Such a great experience and I am so grateful for their commitment.
Any questions?

This is going to be a long review but it is completely deserved! I booked the “make it a day package” for my wedding. This package included hair and makeup for me and 8 members of ...
my bridal party.
Meredith and Nichol were absolutely amazing! They did hair and makeup for me, all 6 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my husband’s mom. We had a bit of a time crunch since we were not allowed in the venue’s getting ready space until 10am and the ceremony was at 4:30. These ladies were so professional and got everyone done quickly. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked beautiful! There was not a single complaint made - everyone loved what they had done.
Not only are Meredith and Nichol incredible at what they do but they but they need to add day of event coordinator to the list of things they specialize in. They thought of everything! They brought the cutest emergency kit for me that included everything you could have imaged.
They went absolutely above and beyond. They were there the whole day (not just for hair and makeup). They set up all of my first look pictures with my family and even caught that my photographer did not get a picture of my dress before putting it on. Meredith took my dress out to the barn and from what I have been told was lifted up to hang it on the top of the barn.
It started raining right before the ceremony and it had to be moved inside. Which would have been fine until the venue said they would only put 30 chairs for the guests to sit in. With having more than 30 guests I was not happy about this. When I tell you Meredith and Nichol had my back the entire time - I was amazed. We ended up getting the venue to add more chairs but Meredith and Nichol were ready to jump in and start moving chairs on their own. When I booked this package, I didn’t know that they would be this involved but now I don’t know what I would have done without all of the support they provided.
While we were getting our hair/makeup done, they had us laughing the entire time. These ladies are so nice, patient, and genuinely want your day to be perfect!
After the ceremony, Meredith and Nichol put my hair in a party pony, touched up my make up (changed my lashes), and bustled my dress. They stayed through all of the first dances and speeches.
They exceeded my expectations and I am so happy I found them for the wedding. Everyone at the wedding loved them as well!
If you're looking for someone who’s not only skilled but also deeply committed to making your day feel special - you will want to book with them. I am so grateful to have had them as part of my wedding day and I will now be going to them for all future hair cuts/treatments!
Thank you again - y’all are the best
