I had my hair and makeup done by New Leaf at my friend's wedding several years ago, and knew I wanted to use this talented team when the time came for my own wedding! I had 8 total women getting their hair and make up done, including bridal for me, my mom and our officiant. Their team of Kate, Rachel and Alicia arrived promptly and were ready for us when we arrived. They got started at 9 am and finished around 12:30/12:45, leaving plenty of time for touch ups prior to portraits beginning around 1:30. Everyone in my party got exactly what they wanted and looked so so gorgeous. You get what you pay for with the New Leaf team - I will recommend them until the end of time!!

I got married on 9/23 and New Leaf was nothing short of amazing. We absolutely loved Stephanie and Kate! Everyone’s hair and makeup looked stunning and I have never felt so beautiful in my whole life. We ended up having some timing issues due to the photographer being late and Stephanie and Kate were so flexible and wonderful. I could write endlessly about how much we all loved them. Do yourself a favor and book New Leaf, you won’t regret it!

Hi Shelley, I am so sorry to hear that you tried calling and emailing with no response. We...
always aim to respond to emails within 72 hours during wedding season! Our business was going through a transition over this summer. I did just look through our emails and see that your message went to spam so never made it to our inbox. I am so sorry for that! I emailed you back and again apologize for that confusion! We do value each and everyone we are lucky enough to work with throughout these exciting times!

I had a wonderful experience with Caitlin and Amanda from New Leaf! They traveled all the way to Boston for my wedding, and managed to get myself and 8 bridesmaids ready in 5 hours, without making us start super early. Everyone looks beautiful and I was so happy with my bridal look. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend New Leaf enough. Working with Amy leading up to the day (and through a pandemic postponement) was easy and stress free. On the day of my wedding in August, Amanda, Katelyn, and Danielle were amazing - they came to our location, determined what each of member of the (12 person) bridal party wanted, executed it flawlessly, and somehow even finished ahead of schedule. For my own hair and makeup, I couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. It was the best I’ve ever felt or looked, thanks to Amanda and Katelyn - now my only wish is to figure out how to replicate their talent to look like that every day. ;) Thank you, New Leaf!

New Leaf did a wonderful job with hair and make-up for myself and my family! If you have a chance to work with this studio for your wedding, you should! They came to the location of the wedding, quickly set up, and listened to each person's individual requests. My hair and make-up stayed perfect throughout the day and night despite the 90-degree heat and a lot of dancing. Thank you very much!

New Leaf did my and my bridesmaids’ hair for my wedding this past weekend. Rachel and Stella were amazing. They were so efficient and the work they did was absolutely flawless! It was SO hot and humid for the wedding but all of us had our hair so secure and it never got frizzy or anything less than perfect all day and night.
Also- working with Amy to book was super easy. She was responsive to all emails and requests. Thank you so much!

I used New Leaf for my wedding on June 5th in Bristol and could not be happier with the most amazing job they did on my hair and makeup and the hair and makeup for my mom and bridesmaids!! I knew from my trial with Kristen she would do an amazing job but come wedding day she really made me look and feel like a princess! She and the other girls showed up on time, were so fun to get ready with and gave great suggestions and touch ups throughout the morning! Also, Amy was great to work with since we had to reschedule our wedding due to Covid - she was flexible and responsive throughout the entire year. I highly recommend New Leaf Hair Studio and wish they could get me ready everyday!

Working with New Leaf for my wedding was an absolute dream! They were professional, responsive and kind - really all you could ever ask for when planning a destination wedding! They were totally accommodating with travel to Block Island and extremely organized, which I truly appreciated. The team made everyone involved in our wedding feel totally at ease and got my large bridal party ready in a pretty tight timeline! On top of it all everyone looked absolutely GORGEOUS and felt incredibly confident.

New Leaf was incredibly accommodating, and really that's all an out-of-state bride can ask for. From the initial email, everything was simple (like paying online) to deciding what each of my bridesmaids and family members were getting done. The experience itself was perfect. Amanda came with an assistant, set up and broke down herself, and was on her A game with the 10+ people getting hair done in a timely manner. She gave me the 50s vintage glam I was hoping for, so thank you New Leaf!!!!

The ladies at New Leaf were so wonderful and professional. Kate and Rachel did such an amazing job with everyone’s hair and make-up and were so lovely to be around while we were all getting ready. I felt incredibly beautiful, but that I also looked like myself! My hair and make-up wasn’t overdone, but was an elegant and tasteful accent to such a special look and day.

New Leaf came to me through the recommendation of a fellow bride and I am so glad! I am not a makeup person (face lotion and false lashes are as far as I get) so knew I would be a little particular about what I looked like and how much of it I wore and they were amazing, flexible, patient, and made me look stunning! They did hair and make up for all of the ladies (my sister, sister in law, mom, and mother in law) and everyone looked their absolute best. I did a trial at their cute studio in Rhode Island which I recommend. We had a fun morning (sometimes wedding mornings can be so daunting!) and they were professional and talented. I highly recommend them!

I could not be happier with my experience with New Leaf Hair Salon! From my first correspondence with their team, I was so impressed with their professionalism. Leading up to my big day, their Katelyn (coordinator) was super responsive and wonderful to work with. She sent me a breakdown of pricing and electronic invoice which made payment processing super easy. Katelyn also sent me a day-of hair schedule a couple weeks before my wedding which helped with my planning tremendously! Although New Leaf has an fabulous bridal suite in their salon, Rachel and Jill came to us(free of cost!) at the Inn to get us all dolled-up! They arrived on time and fully prepared! With the task of doing my hair, 6 bridesmaids and my mother's hair they still somehow managed to be ahead of schedule! With the Inn full of us crazies, they were so sweet, cool and kind enough to laugh at our jokes! Rachel absolutely nailed my vision of timeless/gatsby up-do... I literally cried the happiest tears when I looked in the mirror. Thank you New Leaf for making us all look fabulous and for making me look and feel like the bride I've always dreamed I could be!

New Leaf did such an amazing job with hair and makeup on my wedding weekend!
I only needed my very first trial to know they were a perfect fit!
New leaf was also available to do my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner !
I don’t only speak for myself in this review - myself, and all of my bridesmaids had a blast getting ready together and I had so many compliments from my bridesmaids that they absolutely loved their hair and makeup!!
All of the girls at new leaf are so great to work with and will make all your wedding hair and makeup dreams come true!!!
(Not to mention if you do go to their salon in Bristol - it is so cute!! And so many great product recommendations!!

My experience with New Leaf was incredible from start to finish! Amy and Katelyn helped coordinate everything over email, answered all my questions in a timely manner and had me feeling calm and confident heading into my trial and wedding day! Amanda and Kristen nailed my hair and makeup on the first try at my trial. I went in with a couple hairstyles in mind and didn't even need to see more than one option once Amanda got to work! Kristen knew exactly how to approach the "natural" makeup look I wanted, too! And they executed everything perfectly on the big day too (with the help of Stacy who made many of bridesmaids/Mother In Law/Nana look amazing!). Kristen, Amanda and Stacy worked so quickly and efficiently that we were incredibly ahead of schedule all morning (even with a couple curve balls thrown at them with the order of how we had originally planned to do things), which certainly eased my nerves about everything and allowed me to enjoy some relaxing time with my ladies (who all looked so beautiful I could have cried)! The New Leaf team are the sweetest, most professional people and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to do hair and makeup for 11 people on a hot and very early Sunday morning. Definitely would recommend hiring New Leaf for your wedding!!

My bridesmaids' and I had our hair done at New Leaf for my wedding on July 8th, 2018. We had the most beautiful, sunny day, and the hair studio is right next to the water - stunning views! It was such a wonderful experience, and I look back on it fondly! The crew was very flexible, allowing us to take pictures and bring in our own food and beverages. Courtney did my hair, which looked incredible, and my bridesmaids were thrilled with the way their hair came out. We were married at OceanCliff, which was very windy- but that didn't stop our hair from staying in place, even after a waterfront ceremony and a full night of dancing! Prices were fair, and I felt that I got my money's worth between the experience and their expertise. Katelyn, who helped arrange everything, was very easy to work with; it was obvious to me that she genuinely wanted me to have a great experience (having just had her own wedding, she understood how stressful it can be!!). She also did a lash lift and tint about a week before the wedding, which lasted over a month! I would recommend this establishment to ANYONE on their wedding day, for a special occasion, or simply to have a "me" day! I will definitely be returning as soon as I can get back to Rhode Island.

After searching through tons of photos on Instagram from my favorite RI photographers and seeing New Leaf tagged in most of them I decided to book them for our wedding. What a wonderful decision it was! From the trial to the wedding day both my MUA and my hair stylist were wonderful and so easy to work with. They felt like a part of the crew as they were getting us all ready at my grandmother's house the day of the wedding. Katelyn, the MUA, was especially wonderful because I came to her the day of the wedding changing most of my makeup plan from what we discussed at the trial, and it turned out so incredible! I felt so beautiful!
The only comment I have is that I wish my hair stylist had stayed to help me put my hairpiece in. She finished up early (never a bad thing on a wedding day!), and I was busy finishing up my makeup when my floral hairpiece arrived, and she left without putting it in my hair. My photographer even made a comment about how it was sitting right next to her on the table, but she left anyways. We struggled to put it in my hair correctly and ended up using about 10 bobby pins, but overall my hair still looked beautiful, and she did a great job with everyone's hair (which lasted all day and didn't look over done!). Just wish I didn't have to have that moment of stress and panic right before we were trying to leave to take pictures.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have hair and makeup done - on site or at your home! Thanks, ladies for making me and my girls look our best!

I used New Leaf Hair Studio for myself, my bridesmaids, my Mom, my mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. They were such a pleasure to work with. Amanda Barrette was my hair stylist and she was just fantastic! They were very efficient and really created a calm, fun atmosphere the day of. Everyone's hair looked fantastic. She took the feedback from my hair trial, and made it look just perfect the day of! I also got balayage and a trim the week of the wedding there, and that was also a great experience. The make up artist had a bit of difficulty applying my Lip Sense lipstick, so one thought is if you are going to bring your own type of make up, make sure to give them specific directions.

I used New Leaf for my wedding in June 2018 and I couldn't have been happier!
We came here for my sisters wedding in 2015 and we, by chance, got to work with Amanda again. My sister and I both went in for a trial and were really happy with what she did! Amanda came to my hotel the day of the wedding, which was no extra cost since it was close by. My sisters hair came out beautiful! I asked Amanda to change my hair up a bit from the trial and it was no problem. She really listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I was happy. I loved the way my hair turned out and Amanda was so laid back and easy to work with. She showed up early and we never felt rushed, which is always nice on your wedding day.
The whole process of working with New Leaf was extremely easy and efficient. They sent me a contract online where I was able to pay for our services. Everything from booking the trial down to the wedding day was a breeze. I was so happy with the whole experience. They do wonderful work and I would highly suggest checking them out for your big day!

New Leaf has been my salon for the last 8 years. Courtney is my hairdresser. I have also had manicures, pedicures, blow outs, and massages there. As I was planning my wedding one of the easiest decisions I had to make was where to have my hair & make-up done. Courtney styled my hair and Katelyn did my make-up. I felt absolutely stunning the day of my wedding. I typically do not wear much make-up. Katelyn did an amazing job of ensuring that I did not feel I was wearing too much make up. She helped accentuate my eyes which was important to me. My mother was worried that her hair would blow around at our venue but Courtney completed her blow out. My mom's hair didn't move but also didn't look overly stiff. One of my bridesmaids has very short hair and was unsure how Courtney would ever manage an up-do but she did and it was beautiful. The day of my trial Courtney and Katelyn took pictures and they both paid so much attention to detail. My wedding party was very happy with how their hair and make up looked. My sister-in-law's up-do still looked amazing the next morning after she slept on it! Katelyn was my point of contact during the planning process as she is the wedding consultant at New Leaf. She was very responsive and thorough. I e-mailed her many times and she was always very nice. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Katelyn sent me a time line a few days before the wedding which was helpful so all members of the wedding party knew when they would have their hair and make up completed. We had breakfast and lunch at New Leaf while we were getting ready. This wasn't an issue and all of the staff were flexible. I also think it was helpful that the wedding party paid for services prior to the day of the wedding. This way it is one less thing that has to be completed the day of. Courtney and Katelyn are both extremely talented and down to earth. I would highly recommend New Leaf for your wedding and all of their salon services.

Katelyn and Amanda were a true dream team on my special day. The professionalism and flexibility were above expectation. I changed my hairstyle the week leading up to my wedding. Amanda handled the change with poise and confidence, this in return made me feel at ease that I was in good hands and had chosen the right salon for my beauty services. Katelyn was extremely knowledgeable about make up and skin care. For my trail, I felt I was asking over a million questions, but Katelyn had all the answers and amazing recommendations on how to treat my skin in the leading months up to my wedding day. Both Katelyn and Amanda had such patience with my flower girl and junior bridesmaids. They made it so fun and enjoyable for them. My day would have not gone as smooth or as special without Katelyn and Amanda!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON!!

In searching for a hair and makeup team for our wedding, I wanted a few things: I wanted an experienced team who could travel to us the day of, I wanted to look and feel my best without being overdone, and was looking for reasonably priced services. I found all of those things at New Leaf. I worked with Katelyn for makeup and Rachel for hair, and could not have been more pleased with the results. They created a look I absolutely loved at my trial, and then perfectly re-created that look the day of the wedding. They were fun to work with and so kind. Their whole team (we had 5 ladies total working with us on wedding day) was skilled and extremely efficient. Everyone looked and felt their best, and we got so many compliments on how beautiful and natural we looked. I cannot recommend New Leaf highly enough!

My girls and I went to New Leaf for our July wedding and had a wonderful experience. All of our appointments were scheduled out perfectly, and we were able to finish up ahead of schedule! I saw Rachel for both my trial and day of hair, and she was awesome. She asked how the trial hair stood up, and made adjustments based on that, and to make up for all of the humidity outside. Kristen worked her magic on the makeup! Everyone looked and felt awesome, including my grandma who joined us at the salon! I would definitely recommend New Leaf!

I had a very positive experience working with Amanda (hairdresser) and Katelyn (customer service contact as well as make-up artist) at New Leaf Hair Studio. Both Amanda and Katelyn showed-up at my hotel at the time they said they would come to service our girls and myself. Amanda remembered my feedback to include more pinwheel curls in my updo, which I gave 7 months ago at our initial consultation; I was impressed! The updo for the day of was perfect! Katelyn also did a great job with my make-up! She was also very responsive to my questions and flexible when I asked her to fit me in for a second make-up trial because I wanted to try airbrush, and would be in the area for only that day.

I used New Leaf Hair Studio for both hair & makeup for my wedding in July and they were unbelievable. I researched several different companies in the Rhode Island area, and New Leaf really lived up to all of their terrific reviews. Myself, my mother, and 11 bridesmaids all received hair & makeup, and we finished EARLY! The team (4 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists) was so organized, professional, and kind. All of my friends were extremely happy with their looks - I would definitely recommend New Leaf!

They did an amazing job on my hair and make up. Even though it was the hottest day and I was sweating perfusely at the outdoor wedding, my hair and makeup looked like it was just done and perfect!

Every one of my bridesmaids looked beautiful. We also had Ashley for hair and Kristen for makeup. Their team is amazing at matching any photo you bring in for hair and makeup. We had Kristen stick around until our ceremony to do any hair and makeup touchups. I highly recommend them.

New Leaf helped me and my wedding party get ready for my Memorial Day wedding in Newport. I cannot speak more highly of them and their services. They were on time, cordial, and listened to exactly what we wanted. My group of friends (me and my Mother included) don't often wear alot of make up, and they did it beautifully and naturally which everyone really appreciated. They made us look like ourselves, but better!
I actually had a trial with them back in the winter and decided after that I wanted to go with a different updo (not because of what they had done but rather I changed my mind). I came with only photos on the wedding day, we talked it out, and Amanda absolutely nailed my hair. I felt so fortunate to have her and she made me feel stunning on my wedding day. Thank you thank you!

I was referred to New Leaf through a friend and my wedding venue. They made scheduling my services incredibly easy and streamlined.
I am a student on a budget so when I was looking at beauty services, I was overwhelmed by the cost of it all. I don't tend to wear makeup or do much with my hair. During my consultation with Amanda, I vocalized that I wanted to look like myself during my wedding but feel great about my look all night. She absolutely nailed it and the entire night I kept thinking how worth the money everything was.
I got so many comments on my hair throughout the night. It was beautiful and understated -- everything I had expressed to Amanda. I was also very impressed with her professionalism and talent. She traveled onsite to help me get ready and having her around for that part of my day was an absolute joy. Not only did she fit right in with the rest of the girls but she made me feel so calm and at peace during the hours leading up to my ceremony.
I cannot recommend New Leaf and Amanda in particular enough. I had an incredible experience.

My wife got her hair done for our wedding from Amanda and she loved it. Amanda came to our hotel to do her hair, which was great so that my wife could relax in her own space while getting ready. Amanda was professional, polite, efficient, and made sure that my wife's expectations were met, and then some! The owner was easy to correspond with too while setting up a trial and answering all of my wife's questions along the way.

I knew I wanted to work with New Leaf as soon as I started doing research on salons nearby our wedding venue. Everyone on their wedding team does a fantastic job. My hair and makeup trial only confirmed that they would do a fantastic job day-of our wedding. Ashley was a superstar and found a lipstick that was perfect for what I was looking for (she didn't have one during my trial and I was being VERY picky) and went above and beyond. Libby can take anyone's hair and make it look identical to a photo you select, but she also can visualize and bring to life anything you try to describe. I couldn't have been happier with my hair on my wedding day. I give 4 stars instead of 5 because I felt that communication was a bit lacking on the side of the salon and we had a lot people getting ready day-of the wedding and we ended up being a behind because there wasn't enough time. I didn't get to take any getting ready photos before heading to our ceremony because I went last getting ready and we ran behind schedule. I think arriving 30 minutes earlier could have solved this but honestly, the team at the hotel was so accommodating and they truly made everyone feel like the "bride" in all the work they put into their hair/makeup.

They handled the hair and make-up for me, my mom, mother-in-law, and eight bridesmaids with ease. They really listened to what everyone wanted, and everyone was SO happy with their looks. As the bride, I've never liked getting my hair or make-up done before I went to New Leaf. I absolutely loved my hair and make-up by Rachel and Jen and could not be happier with my experience. I even got compliments from my husband's guy friends on my hair at the wedding haha! They actually ran ahead of schedule the morning of and made everything super easy. They were just the perfect addition to our day and I'm so grateful to have had them there. Thank you for everything!!

Well, I booked New Leaf for my wedding hair and makeup before I even booked my venue...that tells you how amazing they are. Courtney did my hair and had two other stylists for the moms and bridesmaids. Jen did our makeup. Both Jen and Courtney are ABSOLUTELY amazing. They nailed my trials on the first try. They both knew really listened to what I wanted and totally delivered! I couldn't have imagined anyone nailing my wedding look better than these two. Working with Amy leading up to the wedding was great too...everything was very organized and the communication was clear. Highly recommend New Leaf!!!!!!! These ladies are amazing!!!!!!!

New Leaf Hair Studio made my bridesmaids, mom and I look perfect on my wedding day. I wish there was an option to share pictures here because my hair and make-up was stunning!
I was cursed with a rash (!!!!) on my face the week of the wedding, and the make up artist Rachel was able to make my skin look flawless. She balanced glamorous with natural looks for all of us. And the make up lasted all night long.
Our hair stylist was able to create beautiful looks for all of us, with all sorts of different hair: long, short, curly, fine, and, of course my hair, which was full of extensions :)
Both of them showed up exactly on time with everything they needed. And the owner Amy made the entire process seamless.
These ladies know exactly what they are doing. I highly recommend them; you are absolutely guaranteed to look the best you ever have!

Kim at New Leaf did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding. Because we flew into providence just two days before the wedding I wasn't able to fit in a trial before the big day. Kim showed up at 7 am on the dot (we were having a 9.30am service) and was ready to roll. She immediately got what I wanted to do with my hair and make up (very natural with a touch of vintage curls). She was able to work magic in just an hour and all I could do was keep on repeating 'I'm so pretty"
She was amazing about using some of my own make up and also made me feel great about using a few natural looking fake eyelashes - if you're wondering, you should try them!
Amy did a great job coordinating with me before the big day and made the whole process easy as possible.
Thank you so much again!

Amanda & Courtney from New Leaf Salon did a fabulous job for my daughter, Cara, the bride! Cara looked absolutely gorgeous! They were so calming & efficient too - smoothly coordinating whose hair & makeup to do in what order. Cara said she thought she was going to be nervous but the morning was so calm so she felt great which was a big plus. Amy the owner of New Leaf is wonderful to work with & was so patient with all my Mother of the Bride emails & questions! Thank you to New Leaf, especially Amanda & Courtney for starting off my daughters' wedding day so wonderfully & smoothly. The two of you are very talented (and beautiful - had to mention that) professionals!

The hair and make up team for my wedding was exceptional. My bridal party looked stunning. My mother, who never wears makeup, looked flawless. The girls are so nice and fun to get ready with. Special shout out to the two Courtneys who did my hair and makeup. They were amazing!

I used New Leaf for my April wedding in Newport, RI- they were awesome to work with and made sure I was 100% happy with my trial ahead of time. I couldn't have been any happier with my hair and makeup on my wedding day and my whole wedding party looked awesome. The team that came on-site were super timely and fun. Amanda did my hair- despite the windy day, it all stayed in place until the next day! Courtney did my make-up + airbrush- loved it and not overdone like I've seen from other places! If you are looking for your wedding, would HIGHLY recommend using them.
Thank you again New Leaf!

Have worked with New Leaf as both a bridesmaid and a bride. I was thoroughly impressed with their work on both occasions. They provided both hair and makeup to my bridal party. From my hair trial, cut before the big day and morning of I could not have been more impressed with Ashley and her team. Thank you ladies!

New Leaf provided hair and makeup for my entire bridal party, mother, and mother in law (10 people total). They worked efficiently and were a pleasure to have a part of the day. They traveled to us which is costly but worth it because everyone's hair and makeup came out great. Amanda did my hair/makeup and was wonderful!

The girls at New Leaf did a great job with our hair! They were super nice, quick, and detailed. Multiple stylists were assigned to our party, so all of us were styled at the same time. They also do nails and makeup, and the girls who got their makeup done came out looking super natural and gorgeous. A definite recommendation for a solid salon!

I can't say enough good things about this salon! We got married in Newport, RI and after researching many salons in Newport, I came across New Leaf. The prices are so reasonable, the salon is adorable, classy and the bridal suite is the best for a big group! Every single person getting services done LOVED their hair and make-up. We were able to get 10 people done in just about 3 hours which should be record timing! New Leaf had someone working specifically on just the bride, then had multiple hair and make up people working on all of the rest of the bridal party. We were able to bring music, champagne and snacks! loved this salon, wish I lived closer so I could come all the time!

I can't say enough about the bridal team at New Leaf Hair Studio. I loved my hair and makeup (thank you, Amanda and Courtney!), as did my three bridesmaids and the mothers. The stylists listened to the girls and did a fantastic job. My sister also had her hair and makeup done there for her wedding. I highly recommend them to any bride!! Plus their bridal suite is so much fun!

New Leaf Hair Studio made myself and my bridal party flawless for my wedding. I loved my hair and makeup. I have naturally curly hair and therefor updos can always be nerve racking. Jen from New Leaf did an amazing job. My hair was up but with my natural curl. It didn't frizz or fall out of place. I loved it! Stacy did an amazing job with my makeup as well. I looked like myself but more beautiful then I have ever looked!

My fiancé had his haircut there for the first time and absolutely LOVED it! He recommend that I go there for my hair and make-up for the wedding. So I made an appointment for a trial and Ashley did an awesome job! I loved it! One trial was all it took. On my wedding day, New Leaf was very accommodating with our very early 6am appointment. Ashley did a perfect job that day and my make up turned out great as well! I received tons of compliments on my hair and make up, thanks to her!!

I live in Bristol and my fiancee and I have been going to New Leaf for years. The day of my wedding, I experienced a completely different side of New Leaf. Although they always make you feel special, having the entire bottom floor bridal suite to ourselves was such an experience in itself. I had 6 bridesmaids plus MOB and MOG, and not once did we feel cramped or rushed. The whole staff was so incredible and totally got everyone's individual vibe. Each of my bridesmaids looked like a flawless version of themselves, rather than 6 girls with the same hair and same makeup. The staff (especially Courtney and Courtney - the hair and makeup dream team) made me feel so at ease, laughing and joking with me which is SO helpful the day of your wedding. They had music playing, let us bring in breakfast, and the makeup chair has tons of natural light, so you can see how you'll actually look in the real world rather than under fluorescent lighting - no one gets married under fluorescent lighting. My vibe for the wedding was rustic, and natural - and it was important to me that that be conveyed in my hair and makeup and it truly was. I've never felt so beautiful, and when I saw my (now) husband's face when I walked down the aisle - I could tell be agreed.

I took a group of bridesmaids and flower girls to get our hair done at New Leaf hair Studio for my wedding. We were able to book the bridal lounge that they have in their basement. It was wonderful. We had 4 people doing hair so the process didn't take all day. Also, we were able to bring food and drinks down to the lounge so it was very relaxing and fun. I loved how my hair came out (Amanda was my stylist) and highly recommend this salon to anyone who wants to hang out and relax with their bridal party while getting ready.

I cannot even begin to describe how amazing it was to work with the team at New Leaf Hair Studio for my wedding day!! Everything from the service, the atmosphere at the salon, and the attention to detail was absolutely outstanding! I had a HUGE bridal party, and they had hair and makeup to do for about 15 people, and not once did they let all of the people and chaos stress them out. Rather, they were so extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating at every single step along the way. Courtney, the bridal consultant, was always there to respond to my questions and calm my nerves, even when I booked my wedding with them a year ahead of time! I never felt like a burden when I had questions, like I did with some other vendors. We planned a September wedding so that it would be cooler, but instead we ended up with weather in the 90's, and finished our hair and makeup by 1pm, and our ceremony was not until 6:30pm. Despite the warm temps and being outside all afternoon for photos, our hair and makeup still looked flawless for the ceremony! I cannot speak highly enough of the entire New Leaf team, and we were so lucky to have them be a part of our day, and help us look beautiful!

I cannot thank New Leaf enough for their outstanding work and creativity with myself and the whole bridal party! From the beginning Courtney was always available to discuss things, and extremely helpful in trying to help me coordinate everyone to make sure it would be a smooth day. Jenn C. did an amazing job with my hair, she did exactly what I was looking, the rest of my bridal party were so happy with their hair, and makeup as well. Courtney (make up artist) did a fabulous job at making me look all "done up" without looking like I had TONS of make up on!! It was a perfect day, and perfect service from the New Leaf team!
