Simplicity Salon & Spa

e not used to getting makeup done and did a great job everyone was so comfortable with everything she did, she even got one of my bridesmaids who was afraid to do eyelashes to get them! I even went to sleep with my eyelashes on everything stayed put so well and was so beautiful. I have really curly hair and so do some of my bridesmaids but she tamed everyone in an efficient time period while keeping friendly conversations, highly recommend her for all your events!

nd she absolutely exceeded my expectations for a hair and makeup stylist. We cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for being part of our special day!!!

d highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and or makeup.

knew exactly how to execute it. She made me feel at ease on the morning of my wedding and did such a beautiful job. Not only that, but her prices are also reasonable, which is such a peace of mind for wedding planning. I absolutely recommend using Denise for all of your beauty needs!

as willing to travel for a small mile fee (which was great because we got married in Waitsfield and driving an hour to and from Burlington would have been hard), and she was so accommodating as we added on folks. And that’s all before we even get to how good she is! All the women who got their hair done were so pleased by it - we’ve all been in a lot of weddings and this was by far the loveliest and most intricate styling we’ve had. She was really thoughtful about asking questions to figure out what we wanted and made sure to let us know we could give her feedback any time to make sure it was what we were happy with. My two year old niece kept her braid for at least 3 days :) Denise is a warm and lovely person and a VERY good stylist. I’d highly recommend her to anyone in the area!

ing to completely change my hair & makeup look (I'm frustratingly indecisive). She wonderfully had me come back in to try some new things to see what worked and didn't work and let me try out a bunch of makeup options. Both the hair and makeup were flawless, and held up all night. I say this as a complete compliment but she made me look like a better version of myself. I received compliments all night, and the pictures have turned out fantastically. She also did a great job with my sister, and made sure my sister was compeltely comfortable with both the hair & makeup she had on, which is huge, as neither of us wear make-up that often. I would put full trust in her and could not recommend her enough. I did the hair trial at her adorable salon right in downtown Burlington, and then she came to my wedding site day of prepped with all of her tools, and a fantastically awesome chair that made me feel like an actress. My parents also thought she was a hoot. She's also super responsive via email and just a great, thoughtful person. I can't even describe how happy I was with the way I looked the day of. Could not recommend Denise enough!

try several different hairstyles to find the one that fit my face and vision the best. She also was able to perfectly accentuate my good features, while hiding my flaws with the makeup. After the trial, I noticed a couple of things that I wanted to change, and I just emailed Denise and let her know about them. She and I, collectively, figured out how to incorporate these changes. The day of the wedding she came to my hotel room and did the hair and makeup for both my mother and me. She made us feel at ease, and her easy going demeanor quelled my pre-wedding jitters. If you do not want to get your hair and makeup done where you are getting dressed, not to worry. Denise has a lovely little shop right on Church Street in downtown Burlington, central to everything. In the salon, she has an antique dressing table. When I mentioned how beautiful it was, she said that her mother had a wedding photo taken in front of just such a dressing table, and that she loved that photo. Denise then decided to buy this piece of furniture so that all of her brides had the opportunity to take a similar photo. It is this kind of attention to detail and thoughtfulness that put Denise over the top as my hair and makeup artist. She thinks about all of the aspects of the wedding, and makes it easy for you to be the best version of yourself on your wedding day.

ome together. She fit in well with the bridal party and was able to joke around with everyone to make us all feel comfortable during what could be a stressful time. My husband loved her work.

as so happy with the results! She was so much fun to have with us while getting ready, listened to what everyone wanted and a phenomenal job. Everyone was happy, I highly recommend!
