Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook

ing too! We did experience come communication issues with them, including the date of my hair/makeup trial & the pricing of my bridesmaid hairstyles. While the trial date mix up was frustrating, they were extremely apologetic & we were able to have my trial within hours of my initial appointment. No biggie. Then, I made sure to FULLY understand pricing before my big day so I could have the right amount of cash on hand. But apparently the pricing I initially received was incorrect, despite my efforts to be 100% clear about it before my wedding day. It was stressful to be asked for more money for these services on my wedding day, even when email communications repeatedly confirmed the pricing I was initially told. They ended up honoring the initial pricing, but one of the stylists was pretty pushy and kind of rude about it, which was upsetting.

ny complements on how amazing I looked. Jessica was a ton of fun and has such a sweet personality. She even offered to help my mom with her hair for no charge which meant the world to us! I would 10/10 recommend these lovely people and especially Jessica to anyone I know!

e feel like a beautiful bride.

I am so thrilled with how everything turned out and how happy all my bridesmaids were with their own makeup and hair. I will definitely be using them again in the future!

and again! They were so much fun to hang out with while they were getting us ready and really helped me feel less stressed. They are a dream glam squad!

y looked very natural and clean.

the big day. She nailed it! I cannot recommend Sonar Beauty enough.

keup was not overdone and I still looked like myself, which was very important to me. The hair and makeup lasted all day, which made me feel confident about my wedding day. I am so happy I choose Sonar Beauty for my wedding day, and I am very pleased with the way my photos came out.

tos but honestly didn’t really know what I wanted and was just worried about my super fine hair holding style all day. She got creative and worked her magic and it turned out perfect. We didn’t do a trial beforehand. I also contacted Sonar really close to my wedding date after last-minute deciding I couldn’t do my hair myself and they worked with me to get me and my officiant in for styles super early on a Saturday morning with a smile on their faces. So professional and accommodating!

d let them know what I was thinking and both my makeup and hair came out incredible. My bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom looked gorgeous as well. They can do it all! So happy with our photos and I felt beautiful for such a special occasion.

eup for m matron of honor and did an amazing job and nailed the look my matron of honor was trying to achieve. Rachel worked her magic on me and did an amazing job on my hair and makeup she took her time and ensured I looked flawless. She even packed me a make up touch up kit for the evening, so I would look gorgeous all day and night thru the reception. I can't say enough about these two, they make a great team and everyone at the wedding commented on how stunning me and my bridal party looked all evening!

h!

p gal by creating a flawless natural look. On the day of the wedding, she was relaxed and laidback which created a calm atmosphere. She also worked incredibly hard and did multiple peoples hair and makeup in a crazy efficient amount of time. Our hair and makeup looked stunning and held up all night at my outdoor wedding on a 95 degree summer day. The salon itself was adorable and comfortable. We brought lunch/champagne and lounged on the cute back patio and indoors in the intimate seating area. We really enjoyed our experience hanging out at the salon and felt glam throughout the evening thanks to our beautiful makeup and hair service!

concerns/needs. My stylists for the wedding day were Chelsea and Felicity, and they were both very professional while also being a ton of fun to work with. They were very respectful of my/my bridesmaids' requests and provided a lot of great hair/makeup tips moving forward :) I was a bit nervous the day of my wedding because I had been unable to book a trial hair/makeup run, since I do not live in the area. However, both stylists assured me that they had my back and I could not have been more satisfied with the service that they provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with Sonar Beauty if you are in the Austin area.

ed on the pictures we showed them for how we wanted our hair and make up done and even gave professional recommendations. Kristin is a goddess with hair and make up! The pricing was affordable... especially the bridal package, and with all the services we had done we got out in a very timely manner so that we could head to the venue on time! I would highly recommend!

reak a sweat. I would recommend these guys again and again and again - they did an AMAZING job and I was so so glad to have such professional work on my big day!

like they read my mind without me having the thoughts. I had a few comments after the trial that were effortlessly included the day of my wedding. The stylists were efficient and fun! My whole bridal party loved the whole experience. I highly recommend Sonar Beauty!

nning bridal looks.

nks, Sonar (and Elena)!

e to go out to dinner tonight, you look gorgeous! :) As far as day of hair and make up... it was perfect! I received countless compliments and couldn’t of felt more beautiful. I highly recommend Rachel. She is such a sweet person inside and out. Thank you for your piece of the puzzle that made my day perfect.

took everything I said (and honestly limited direction) and incorporated it perfectly. My hair and makeup looked perfect! Not to mention, she was incredibly pleasant to be around. Book Sonar Beauty and ask for Chelsea!

idal package, which includes hair/makeup services + a trial, was well worth it and competitively priced. Would definitely recommend Sonar to a friend!

d changed my mind before the day-of, Kristan rolled with it and created exactly what I wanted. I highly recommend this team! They're centrally located which is helpful for trials and day-of.

and timely. The pricing was affordable and they were just so easy to work with. Will definitely be using their services in the future!

ppy with my make-up on my wedding day. I looked just like a more special version of myself. She kept it natural looking and highlighted my features. It was exactly what I wanted. My mom also got her make-up done by Rachel because she was so impressed with her. My mom looked awesome as well! I would choose her over and over again. I wish Rachel could do my make up every time I have a special event!

rked hard to get my hair exactly how I wanted it for the big day. I would highly reccomomend this place to anyone!

tual, professional, and easy to talk to, and everyone's hair and makeup were beautiful!!

e we rented out at the venue. I completely understood, but the day of only one out of the three utilized her time to the max while one did only makeup (did an amazing job but took a long time) & the other only prepped hair. The gal that was prepping the girls hair sat around once she was done. We end up cutting it pretty close to picture time, but all in all it all worked out and I was very happy with how everyone's hair & make up turned out which is the most important part.

ier for us to get ready. We all loved our day of looks and can't say enough good things about Sonar.

. None of us had ever had our makeup professionally done before, and they both made us feel comfortable, at-ease and attended to. They listened to exactly what everyone wanted, and made sure everyone’s look matched up with their individual requests. And we all ended up looking beautiful, but still like ourselves. Would highly recommend!!

urteous attention. I did the package of hair trial, bridal hair, and airbrush makeup, and from the first minute of my hair trial Kristan made me feel welcome and comfortable in her adorable vintage South Congress studio. She also whipped up an amazing do for my hair (and decided AGAINST using jeweled pins for my hair, which she could have charged me extra for, but decided they didn't look right with the image we were going for). She looked at photos of my dress, and the venue, listened carefully when I described what level of elegance I was looking for, and took what I said to heart. My hair looked glorious. On the day of, she and Rachel were right on time, and were cheerfully flexible about the rather small workspace of my doll-sized bridal suite. I had specifically asked for stylists that could handle African American hair, since all three of my bridesmaids had some, and they were both competent at handling such hair and making it look great. They also interviewed my MOH and bridesmaids on the day of as they were getting started, asking what styles they wanted, and really listening and adhering to their preferences as best they could. Sonar wound up doing our hair, and airbrush makeup, AND false lashes for me, AND covering a small tattoo on my arm, and they were still done in under three hours! Both Kristan and Rachel's hands moved like they could do this in their sleep (probably could), and carried on effortless conversations with my bridal party, never needing to backtrack or do over anything. They had to travel quite a ways to get there, haul their massive kits up a flight of narrow stairs, and then go to work in a room with hardly any space, but you'd never know it from their upbeat attitude. Really made the afternoon pleasant and reduced what stress a bride would normally be enduring on that day. Plus, I looked great at the end.

eup for me and my bridesmaids was absolutely perfect! So natural and beautiful.

the bride, I got extensions put in by Brooke, who did and AMAZING job. She was dedicated to making me look exactly how I wanted on my wedding day, and even went to get extensions for me to match my exact hair color when they didn't have a dark enough shade in the salon. I worked with Julie to schedule everything and she was so helpful and sweet to work with. Thanks Sonar Beauty!

their airbrush make up services.

I wanted looked exactly like the picture I showed my stylist! She really did such an amazing job!

r than that, they were fantastic. I would definitely recommend them.

the salon before my wedding stuff—to get to know them, etc. While they were friendly, I was very disappointed in my haircut. In fact, it was such a bad haircut I had to pay another salon a lot of money to fix it. I sent the stylist (and owner) pictures of my haircut, and she said something along the lines of "I don't know how that happened, I'll refund the cost." My hair is as straight as a board and not too thin or thick. I've been told it's very easy to cut and I've also never had anyone mess up my hair. So how she could mess up a simple trim is beyond me. She eventually refunded the cost of the cut, but kept the very decent tip that I gave her. I was pretty upset about the haircut especially with it being before my wedding that I didn't feel like I could trust them with my wedding day hair and makeup. I also had an impossible time scheduling my makeup trial. So I cancelled my wedding package with them, losing $340 (that's how bad the haircut was [pictures on yelp]). If you want to see for yourself, I recommend booking just a trial with them before booking an entire package up front.

so easy. They got the whole group (6 total) done with plenty of time to spare. They were extremely professional, nice, and so much fun to work with. I felt like they cared about individual preferences and how we felt about the "finished product." We all looked great and felt great, which is all you can ask for on the big day. My hair and makeup looked flawless all night, and the bride looked stunning. They did such an amazing job! I'd definitely recommend Sonar, and will look to them for future events in Austin!

ng days are always stressful and both ladies made this experience stress free and unforgettable.

actly what I asked for and even stuck around for a few to make sure to do touch ups if needed. Highly recommend Sonar Beauty!!! Thank you so much!

h their own styles. Kristan is dynamic and comes with so much experience that she can handle (and do an amazing job) on anything and every request.

and I have never felt more beautiful than I did that day because of her. I'd ABSOLUTELY recommend Kristan, she's a pro, and will leave you feeling glamorous.

hts on what I wanted and somehow turned it into the look I wanted. I felt so glamorous and beautiful. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks!

job and was fun to visit with during the whole process. Thanks Kristan, and Good Luck!

, fell a little throughout the night, but that was because it had rained during our outdoor pictures and all the dancing we did :) I wouldn’t have changed a thing though. Thank you Sonar Beauty for making my wedding day perfect!

e me look beautiful. The bridal party could not have been happier with their hair and makeup. Kristen is the best❤️❤️❤️❤️

eous. They are true experts and it was an absolute honor to have them be a part of my big day!

ws more about you than you know about yourself. :) Kristan is the type of girl that you don't have to tell her what you want...she looks at you and already knows. She is soft with color and makeup but knows how to sass it up if you need it! Her and Brook are a dynamic duo and seriously - just booked them!

able, and exceeded all of my expectations. I would recommend Sonar Beauty for not only your wedding needs but also for your local stylist.

I FELT absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. I've even had girls asking what salon I used in Austin so they can get in for an appointment on a regular basis!

ly how everyone wanted it!!! I would recccomend Elena and sonar beauty 100% of the time! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding- Elena made sure I looked how I wanted and made sure I was happy with what she did. I looked damn good!!! 10/10!! I couldn't thank y'all enough for making my day the best day of my life!!

hair and they nailed it. My airbrush makeup lasted through my portraits and the rest of the day. I could not brag on these girls enough. Sonar Beauty is fabulous!!!

ay: Kristen and her team we AMAZING . They made everyone look absolutely stunning. We had 8 people getting hair and makeup done for the wedding. They got everyone done early. I can't recommend Sonar Beauty enough!

she changed it up a little from my trail but I loved it even more. My make up was spectacular and it looked great all night and most importantly, it didn't look cakey. I am really happy to have booked with them and 100% recommend brides to do so too. Also, they are really nice and friendly we had a good time. There was also another girl that did the my bridesmaids make up but I can't remember her name and she also did a fantastic job and was super patient.

ictures about hair styles and came up with something for me. She listened to my feedback and adjusted what I didn't like. Perfect! The nook is also very cute and great for pictures. We had the whole place to ourselves :)

nervous bride. I am a pretty go with the flow person, so after describing rough guidelines (mostly down, pretty loose and non-structured), Elena twisted my hair into a beautiful half-up half-down masterpiece. I have long (mid shoulder blade) and THICK hair, and she was able to secure it to where it didn't go anywhere for the rehearsal dinner. After seeing my hair, my sister asked if they had time to do her make-up. They were so accommodating and were able to squeeze her in and did a fabulous job. Kristen did my make-up trial, and it was flawless. She really knows her stuff, including how to pick shades to compliment my light complexion and auburn hair (I'd especially recommend them to any redheads as Kristen has red hair and definitely knows what works). On the day of the wedding, the girls arrived early and ready to get to work. Most of my bridesmaids didn't have anything specific in mind, so Elena was able to get creative with some of the most beautiful braids and up-dos I've seen. Kristen and another girl did a fierce job with the make-up, and were able to accommodate both my glamorous bridesmaids who wanted contouring and smokey eyes as well as my more bare friends that wanted a natural look. I especially loved how perfectly they did the two mom's make-up to look elegant but age-appropriate. The best part is that these girls are FUN, too! They make you feel comfortable and like you're talking to an old friend. My hair and makeup stayed all night, and looked so good in all of our pictures. I would recommend Kristen and her team at Sonar Beauty again and again, and will definitely we visiting them whenever I need to be glammed up. Thanks again to these beautiful and skilled ladies!

uggestions and helping point my mom in the direction I truly wanted. She did a flawless job on my hair for day of and my makeup was amazing. (airbrush, stayed all day). They traveled to be on site with us and that made the entire day easy and relaxing. I went with Sonar initially as their prices I felt were fair and I couldn't have been happier with how I looked!

m!

to hide and Kristan and her team did their magic with my hair and makeup to cover that up. I can say I have tons of fine hair and was worried my hair would fall, but I can assure you that it stayed so well and I received so many compliments. Make sure you book her for your special day!

ey were so accommodating and worked with my schedule to get me in for hair and makeup on my wedding day. Brooke was AWESOME to work with! She listened to my ideas and worked her magic! She did an amazing job on my hair and makeup and I couldn't have been happier! Thanks to Brooke I felt beautiful on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Sonar Beauty!

as happy with the end result. On the day of the wedding, Kristan and her employee tackled every hair request from my bridesmaids with ease. All of the girls loved the way their hair turned out, and we all enjoyed having both of them with us in the bridal suite. I received so many compliments on my makeup that day, and I owe it all to the patience and professionalism that Kristan and her team provided.

ir and makeup trial, she was flexible and kept smiling on my wedding day when a few people canceled. I would recommend Kristan to anyone who is wanting a fun, worry-free experience.
