Alice and Jennifer did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding hair and makeup! I am someone who rarely wears makeup, and I was so happy with the natural look they did for me — I felt beautiful but still like myself. Also, my hair never holds curl but they worked their magic and the soft beachy waves they did for me actually held up and were exactly what I wanted. Each of my friends and family members who had their hair & makeup done loved their looks too. They were both great to work with and I would definitely recommend Secret Salon to anyone!

I was attracted to secret salon for their high review score. Pros were that Alice, the owner, was flexible (offered to do 6 hair and make up and accommodate my tight schedule due to an am activity on wedding day) and was prompt with her communication. There was also no price surcharge for bridal hair - everyone was $275. I went for a trial and did not love the make up and hair. I repeatedly showed jennifer the make up and hair style I was hoping for and she didnt seem to "get it". Makeup alone took 2 hours. I was underwhelmed by her updo which she completed in 15 minutes. I thought perhaps it was a cultural thing - I have asian features (I am asian) and was looking for a low bun. At this time, I had signed a contract - as appeared to be Alice's protocol (in retrospect, I shouldve waited until after the trial) - and thought it was my appearance that made the stylists' artistry not shine thru. I requested to be removed and asked that my family members (who have western features) receive their hair/make up services. Wedding day was underwhelming: aracely & jennifer arrived. Make up was done poorly, with the blush applied unevenly, and corrected after my prompting (which also required multiple attempts); hair was also underwhelming and I had to request fixes ny the artist who came to do my hair and makeup. When I pointed out that the hair updo on my sister was too flat on the back, stylist became defensive, annoyed and ultimately not receptive. One of the hair updos started to unravel within the hour of getting done. The makeup looks *very* low quality on wedding day photos. Contributing to the low professionalism and communication score I gave was the Irish exit the artists did after "completing" everyones hair and make up - no goodbyes, well wishes, etc - I just caught their backs in the moment I looked in the direction of the exit door. Upon filing my complaint to Alice the owner, she thanked me for the feedback and initially insisted that no compensation could be given. Upon being pressed with photos, she provided a $75 refund (of the $1100 I paid, excluding travels). Given the outcome, I would have never hired this team on and would have foregone my $275 deposit at the time. I am deeply regretful and disappointed.

Jennifer and Julie did mine, my bridesmaids', and my mom's makeup as well as my hair. They were super professional, arrived on time, and we were out the door exactly as scheduled. They did an amazing job and had a great attitude despite being in a super cramped space, I was super happy with the looks--exactly what I had envisioned. Can't recommend them enough!

My hair and makeup turned out so beautiful and I was so very happy with the results. There is a lot going on that day, of course, and I wanted to look beautiful without looking overly made up and that’s exactly what I received. . I highly recommend Alison and her team at Secret Salon. They are amazing!

Secret Salon is so professional, prompt, communicative and easy to work with. I decided to change my hairstyle and make-up style day of my wedding and Jennifer absolutely slayed it. It was exactly what I wanted and lasted the whole night. They even did my husband's hair! Definitely 10/10 recommend. Their pricing was very competitive as well, they don't upcharge the bride's hair & make-up like other vendors do.

The stylist were on time and super nice and worked with each person for what style they wanted. Everyone looked great!
The reason for 4 not 5 stars is the mascara they used was not waterproof like they assured me it was. I cried my mascara off almost immediately and it ran down my face. My coordinator had to drive me back down to the getting ready area and cleaned my face up with one of my bridesmaid's makeup before the after-ceremony photos.
response 04/08/2023
Hey Rachel,
I am so sorry that happened and it is so helpful that you drew it to our atten...
tion. We haven't had that issue before so I wonder if there was a bad batch of mascara. I am pleased your co-ordinator was able to fix things! We loved working with you and are glad everything else worked out. We will go through our kits this weekend and make sure whatever was used isn't still in circulation!

Alice and her team did both mine and my bridesmaids' hair, and were amazing throughout the entire process. Alice is so sweet and made me feel supported and comfortable in asking for exactly what I wanted my hair to look like on my wedding day. During my trial, Alice offered great suggestions on how I could achieve exactly the look I was going for. On the actual wedding morning Alice and Jennifer were able to help me and my girls feel calm and confident going into our big day. Everyone's hair looked stunning and I could not be more grateful to have such amazing women helping me and my girls feel our absolute best.

Thank you Secret Salon team! We had the pleasure to coordinate with Alice this past year! She was very informative and helpful! This is a great service if you want to get ready with your bridesmaids in a hotel room. They are a mobile team and come to you for a reasonable travel fee of $50. They bring their own chairs and come fully prepared. We got to be with Jane, Jennifer, and Arasely, who were incredible beauticians and artists and kind people. All my bridesmaids and bridal party were sooo happy with the process of getting their hair/makeup done and their end resilts, and so was I! They do airbrush and include lashes as well. It’s a pretty great deal and definitely worth looking into!

Go with Secret Salon! Finding a stylist was one of the most difficult vendors for me to book due it being such a busy time of year for weddings. I must have contacted somewhere around 15-20 stylists and I'm really happy that things worked our with Secret Salon. I had 5 services and we used Secret for hair styling only. Alice and Jennifer were friendly, timely, and personable with me and my inner circle. The prices are very reasonable and they went above and beyond for their service and really took their time with helping me decide on a style I wanted. I did a trial beforehand and bought hair extensions for the big day which looked really nice. Alice and Jennifer were amazing and I feel like they genuinely cared about everyone in my group. Thank you Alice and Jennifer!!!

Alice, Jennifer, and Sam were absolutely amazing on the day of my wedding. First off, Alice, the owner, was super responsive to my emails and always accommodated my requests/changes, which I really appreciated. Secondly, these ladies do amazing work! Every one of my ladies looked absolutely stunning with their hair and make up. Their prices were extremely reasonable and made it possible for everyone to afford getting their hair and make up done (which I know can be pricy for wedding). I would 100% use Secret Salon again and can't recommend them enough.

Alice was so sweet and awesome. I was going to do a hair trial but ended up not because of time constraints and remote wedding planning was a nightmare. Even without a trial, she did such a great job on everyone’s hair ! Mine and I had both of my mothers (mine and mother in law) who are so picky and they both loved their hair. My bridesmaids love theirs too! Her pricing and service were reasonable, Not overcharging or demanding a crazy high number of required service like other vendors. Loved Alice! Would highly recommend !

I'm so thankful for Alice and her team! I was blessed with Julie and she enhanced my beauty like no other! She even got approval from my particular mom who does not wear make up often and was nervous on getting her face done by a stranger. My mom was amazed with how she appeared on my wedding and I am glad my mom agreed to do her hair and make up with Julie. The team is great communicators, my original make up artist was exposed to covid and they were able to get a back up make up artist immediately. Very seamlesss and I had no worry on my end. I felt beautiful and amazing on my special day because Julie was apart of it. I was also amazed how my make up and hair lasted throughout the night! Highly recommend her and her team!

I am so happy I went with Secret Salon for hair/makeup for my bridal party! I had an early morning brunch wedding and reception which meant 5am start time for hair and makeup, so I was initially worried when I began my search for stylists! I found Secret Salon using Instagram and worked with Alice who helped set up everything including a timeline which completely reassured me! Our stylists Jennifer and Helena arrived exactly on time are amazing at what they do! I also loved that their prices were totally reasonable, and included lashes and airbrushing - everyone looked fantastic! I highly recommend them for anyone getting married in the San Diego area!

Love them! I cannot recommend the Secret Salon highly enough! Alice was so prompt to respond to my numerous emails. She was so sweet and excited for our wedding. She was so professional and genuinely kind. She worked hard with me on creating a schedule that worked for everyone. She was organized and great at communication.
On the day of the wedding, Jane did our hair. Everyone’s hair looked amazing! She did such a good job! She was very sweet and professional. My bridesmaids came with several ideas and pictures, and she made it a reality. She listened to what I wanted and offered suggestions when I needed them.
Helena did our make up on the wedding day. She worked with what I wanted and gave advice when I asked for it. One other bridesmaid and I are not big make up people, and she really helped us. She made me feel at ease. She even offered to step up and say something to my photographer when he started to stress me out.
The Secret Salon made me feel so special! They really cared about making my day the best it could be! They kept us on schedule even when my bridesmaids were not being quick about things. All of my bridesmaids and my mom felt really beautiful. Everybody had great things to say about the experience.

As mother of the bride, I was helping my very busy daughter with many of the wedding details. Like many couples, my daughter and her fiance' were really on the fence about moving forward with their 7/31/21 wedding due to COVID restrictions even though it had been planned for over a year. With only about 10 weeks to go, they decided to move forward. After much internet research, I was certain that I wanted to hire ALICE with SECRET SALON as the reviews were amazing! I made contact through the website, and I received an almost-immediate response! Initially, Alice didn't think they could help, but when she found out that it was a 6 p.m. wedding, she agreed they could help even though they had earlier wedding(s) that same day. Alice is a God-send. She is extremely talented! She did hair for the entire wedding party, her team did make-up, and Alice even pitched in at the end after two bridesmaid who were not scheduled for makeup decided that they wanted theirs done too. The entire bridal party looked FABULOUS! You will not find a more talented, sweet and responsive hair/makeup professional out there. Thank you, Alice!!!!!!!!

I wasn’t able to do a trial prior, but Jane was so patient and let me provide makeup feedback throughout the entire process. All of us felt beautiful on the wedding day! So happy, highly recommend!

Alice was absolutely perfect! She did hair and makeup for me and my daughter for my wedding and was an absolute pleasure! She is incredibly talented, extremely nice, professional and took care to make sure wedding look was just as we envisioned it to be. Ours was a small wedding with just my daughter in the bridal party yet she never made us feel like it wasn't anything but her priority! I highly recommend her and her company to any brides in the greater San Diego area!

Secret Salon is awesome! Their staff is professional, kind and super understanding. My Bridesmaids and I showed up late for our appointment but Jane, the stylist we worked with could not have been more patient and sweet with us. She was truly a gem. Alice is also incredible to work with, she is honest and passionate about the job she and the other stylist do. My make up was wonderful! My hair was absolutely amazing. I was blown away at how great it looked! I showed Jane some photos from the internet which I liked but never imagined that she could have done an even better job on my hair than the samples I showed her. I highly recommend choosing Secret Salon for your wedding or any other occasion, they truly made me feel beautiful and special on my wedding day.

If you want to feel like a Kardashian, book Alice. Not only does she come to you with the glam kit in toe, she makes you feel special in every way possible. She has been doing my husband and I Halloween makeup for years and finally came the time to have her do my wedding makeup. She did not disappoint. Thank you for everything Alice!!!

Alice was one of my very best wedding vendors. She is timely, prices affordably, and has awesome skills and ability to match your look to what you want. She also feels like a friend and is a fantastic listener and communicator. I had a fun time working through our wedding trial. On my wedding day, Alice and her team moved expediently through my five wedding party and my husband's and my mother. We're a diverse group ethnically and taste-wise and everyone was happy with their look. It was a nice way to bring everyone together before the event. Alice sneaked out when we were all ready, and I called her to come back and put my veil in - and she drove back quickly, no questions asked. Just one little example of how she goes above and beyond. And she is great at answering emails and texts in a timely manner, which is incredibly appreciated. If you need a superb professional who is there for you and super genuine, give Alice a ring!

I had the pleasure of having secret salon style me for both my own wedding and as a bridesmaid at a second wedding. Each experience with them was fantastic and I highly recommend. The stylists are so much fun to be around the morning of the special day and did an AMAZING job on my hair and makeup- both as a bride and a bridesmaid. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Jane and Aracely were professional, nice, and fun in addition to making me and my bridal party look and feel our best!
They knew exactly the look I wanted and customized each person’s make up and hair that suited them. From the moms (81 and 73 years old) to my 16 year old step daughter bridesmaid. Absolutely stunning work! They made us gorgeous and also made the morning and getting ready time relaxing and fun.

I booked make up and hair services for my wedding months in advance and the communication with Alice was easy and always fast.
Alice and her two associates did a wonderful job with my bridal party of eight plus a flower girl. Everyone was happy with their hair and make-up but the team was also receptive to whatever suggestions and choices we wanted as well so no one felt like their wants were being ignored.
I'm so happy I found Secret Salon! Everyone was so friendly and our make-up and hair looked amazing. I would definitely recommend Secret Salon for wedding make up and hair!!

I cannot say enough great things about Alice and Jane! I got to meet Alice during my trial and she was so sweet and welcoming and I’m sure would be a lovely person to have on your wedding day team. Jane did my makeup & hair at the trial as well as the hair and makeup for me, my mom, and one of my bridesmaids on my wedding day. She did a phenomenal job on all three of us! I felt absolutely gorgeous! Additionally she is such a calm and upbeat person, she has the perfect vibe for what could be a stressful morning :D We were doing hair and makeup at my apartment on the wedding day when we lost power! Jane started doing our eyes and other makeup while we waited to see if it would come back quickly. When it didn’t she happily agreed to pack everything up and drive us across the street to meet where my other bridemaids were getting ready on their own before coming over. She reset up in their hotel room and continued like nothing had ever interrupted the morning flow. Additionally their prices are so reasonable! I called 8 different salons before stumbling across Secret Salon, and all of them charged almost double for the bride’s makeup and hair compared to bridesmaids while Secret Salon charges the same incredible rate. Jane was also really great at listening to what all three of us wanted for our hair and makeup and working on creating exactly that look. And any changes I wanted after, she happily implemented. Then she showed my bridesmaids how to put my veil in and take it out of my hair so that it wouldn’t pull out a bunch of the pinned curls. The whole process was so easy, fun, and comfortable! I would recommend Secret Salon to any bride in San Diego :D

so funny, she didn't even mention any of this to me! She clearly just took it all in her stride. We are so lucky to have her on the team and we are so lucky to have sweet brides like you. We love our job!
