Something You Salon & Spa

oked amazing. The team was so professional and kind. Very open to people’s changing minds day of and such.

earn what was possible to do with my hair and Amanda made adjustments on the wedding day based on the trial. I would work with Something You / Amanda again!

wanted at both my trial and wedding. She was ready to go when we got to the ceremony location the morning of, and had everyone's hair and makeup done on time. The salon itself is wonderful, and I have started going there for other services! Amanda was also a great help with contracting and scheduling - very responsive!

it was fabulous and very cute!) but I loved the personal-ness of having them come to us!! Amanda from Something You was my contact person through the whole thing and although I never met her, she was very easy to work with via email and The Knot messages! Thank you Something You for everything!!

Amanda and went in with some styles in mind. Lucky for me, Amanda specializes in curly hair and knew exactly which styles would work for me and which wouldn't. She was patient and easy to work with and I left my trial feeling confident with my style choice. Amanda traveled to the I Hotel, was on time, and ready to go when we were. Everyone's hair looked perfect and I loved mine more on my wedding day than after my trial. Amanda did an amazing job with all of the girls and was so easy to work with. She is professional and definitely knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend Amanda and Something You Salon & Spa to any bride!

e stuck to her word, even though it required her to travel way out of her limits for me. She styled my 3 bridesmaids hair, my mother in law, my Mother, my Nana, and my Aunt. EVERYONE loved their hair, especially me and my Mother (who has super thick, gorgeous hair but is hard to please). As always, Amanda exceeded expectations and was an absolute joy to have with us on my wedding day. She makes every room brighter and is always calm, cool, and collected, and fabulous at what she does. I adore you Amanda and am so grateful for you and the way you made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

n with me from the first moment I walked in all the way up to my trial and then my wedding, it made it SUCH a seamless process. Carmen did my makeup, and Michelle did my mother's MOB makeup, and they were both amazing. My mom loved how hers turned out so much, she's now an Aveda convert and loves their products - she goes out of her way to buy them! I think the best thing about Something You is kind of in their name - everyone there listens to what you want but also strives to maintain an open and honest relationship with their client about what will be possible for their special day and beyond. They won't slap colors on you that don't suit your skin tone, they won't force you into a ridiculously fancy up-do if it's just not who you are (Janie actually talked me out of mine even though several of my friends were pushing for me to have one, because it just wasn't my true style), and I can guarantee you just won't find a salon like Something You no matter where you go. They're pretty incomparable. I'm not sure about them being "pricey" for Central Illinois, though, because for 5 of us to get hair done, and 2 of us to get makeup done, it was a very, very reasonable expense. I love looking back at photos and just admiring how my hair and makeup turned out that day. (if you're on the fence about airbrush make up - DO IT - it's totally worth it, especially for summer weddings.)

come my normal salon as well after discovering them through the knot. I can’t say enough good about them!

e. But thankfully she was still able to stay long enough to get everyone completed. Would definitely recommend!

both did an AMAZING job. I couldn't be more pleased with my hair and make up from my wedding!

rating and the vision I wanted for my wedding wasn't coming through at all. I showed pictures from the trial to my sisters and girlfriends and all provided negative reviews. I left feeling pretty down because I felt I wasn't getting the quality I was hoping for. So, as expected, I was a bit nervous the day of the wedding because I didn't want my hair to look as it did at the trial. It was obvious Amanda remembered how our trial went and went the extra mile to ensure my hair looked absolutely perfect and it was! I wish I could upload a picture because I cannot say how relieved and happy I was with the final product. It really was night and day from the trial. My mom and bridesmaids all loved it. Thank you to Amanda for understanding my nervousness and making my hair look even better than the vision I had planned. In addition, my bridesmaids all LOVED their hair. Amanda and her assistant were super flexible in allowing changes to hair in case someone thought a poof was too high or curls weren't voluminous enough. In the end everyone's hair stayed intact and everyone was very satisfied.

ad I did! My whole experience with Amanda and Something You was wonderful. Amanda is so down-to-earth, not to mention super talented. During our trial run, I simply showed her pictures of how I wanted my hair and makeup and she created an amazing look out of them. Brides, I definitely recommend getting the fake eyelashes. Mine stayed on all night and made my eyes pop in all of our photos. My hair and makeup stayed in tact all night, as well. Amanda has been doing weddings for a long time, and she continues to go to events to stay up to date on her skills. Thank you Amanda and Something You for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

my vision for my wedding day look, and helped give their professional opinions about how to bring it to life. Both ladies were friendly, fun, and phenomenal at what they do! I've never looked and felt more beautiful, and they did an incredible job making everyone in my wedding look and feel fabulous!
