The braid lounge was absolutely amazing!!! Not only are they incredible artist but they are also great people. Madison did a perfect job with my hair and made sure it was absolutely perfect and wouldn’t budge all night! She is very skilled and listens to her clients and truly cares about them. Jamie did my makeup and not only is she great to talk to but she did an absolutely stunning job on my makeup. I have never felt prettier and that’s how it should be on my wedding! I loved these girls and this company!

The Braid Lounge did my hair and makeup for my wedding. They also did 6 others hair and makeup and they did AMAZING! Jamie Lee did our makeup and we got so many compliments on how we all looked and it seriously stayed all night in the heat of Idaho in July! Monique did everyone’s hair and it turned out amazing as well! My updo stayed in all night without one piece falling out of place. If you need hair and makeup for your wedding definitely go with The Braid Lounge!

Jamie Lee did my bridal make-up for my June 13th wedding. I have never felt more beautiful. She did such an amazing job with all the wedding party! I'm 53 and don't have perfect sk...
in; she was able to create a look that was soft and natural enough, yet covered any age spots. She was patient, kind, and she listened to what we were individually looking for in make-up. I was on the fence about hiring someone for make-up since I thought I could do it myself, but I'm so extremely glad I did, she was worth every penny. I would highly recommend her. Thanks for being a part of my special day, Jamie!

Jamie and Madison made me feel like a princess for my big day. I had never had my hair and makeup done for an event, so I was a little nervous, but they made me feel at ease and tr...
uly saw my vision and made it come to life. My husband cried when he saw me walking down the aisle and everybody said I looked gorgeous. It was an amazing feeling to feel pretty for my wedding. I came in with acne, dark circles, frizzy hair, and a puffy jaw line (wedding planning was stressful) and by the time they were done, nobody would have known. In addition to being amazing at what they do, they were also the best priced. Highly recommend this team.

I had a destination wedding and would not be meeting my hair stylist until the day of my wedding. Monique with the Braid Lounge did my color and hair trial here in Boise beforehand...
and did an amazing job! She was easy to work with, listened to what I wanted, and took lots of photos and videos to show to my wedding day stylist. I honestly liked her trial better than the final style! Plus she finished in almost a third of the time as the other girl which would have given me more time for pictures... Do not hesitate to book Monique for your wedding as she does a great job and will make you feel at ease
