I highly recommend using The Mane Attraction for your hair and makeup needs on your wedding day. They had six ladies that were able to get all 8 of us in at 7 am and all done by 9:30 am. Couldn’t have asked for a more smooth process for hair and makeup and very affordable! Thank you for making our day so perfect!

Carla and her team did an amazing job for my wedding. They traveled over an hour to my wedding venue and provided hair and make up services for myself and the bridesmaids. They also did my flower girls and mothers hair. The ceremony was outside and our hair and make up stayed all day and night. I am very happy with their services!

Our hair stylist was great. I had three bridesmaids and myself get their hair done by her. Everyone loved their hair and the styles stayed in place all day and night, even with very hot weather. I highly recommend this place. She really works with you to get the style you want.

Carla and her team did an amazing job at our wedding. Carla was very kind making sure that I received the hair style I wanted. My trial hair did not hold well, and she invited me back for another trail where we picked something that would hold up better. My hairdresser turned out amazing. I would definitely recommend. She is the best out there

The Mane Attraction was easy to book, Carla met with me readily to change reservations when it was needed, and she was just peachy to work with. My hair, and that of my wedding party, was stunning and we received so many compliments on the styles and how well they held up. I don’t think a single hair was out of place even after dancing all night at the reception. I really enjoyed Carla at the Man Attraction and will use her again for future events!

MOH in my sisters wedding and had our hair done by the mane attraction, I was blown away by the professionalism, quality of products and extreme welcoming environment this location and the stylists had to offer. The mane attractions owner Carla Hall has all of the tips and tricks up her sleeve to give you exactly what you ask for, her work was incredible and stood out amongst any salon I have been too, any wedding I have been a part of and had my hair done in and I would guarantee you’ll be back later for other services. Our entire wedding party had our hair done early in the morning and it lasted without the drop of a single pin through the night.
A remarkable talent this business has with event styles, you will not be disappointed.

Carla and her team were amazing! Carla did my bridesmaids updos for my wedding and Danielle Beyer did my bridal updo. All the girls looked so good and they got so many compliments. Carla had offered advice for the bridesmaids hair due to the ceremony being outside and she was 100% correct, it was a pretty windy day and their hair held the whole time and throughout the night. They were very professional and finished in a timely manner, we were right on time.

She was on time to the venue, I’m the maid of honor and only had to show her a picture once and she did exactly what I wanted! Other people in the bridal party just told her they wanted their hair up or down and she did beautiful work without prompt photos! My mom is a cancer survivor and has thin hair and Carls did her hair wonderfully, as well as my thick hair! Highly recommend!

The crew at Mane Attraction was as professional as any crew in the big cities. They arrived with their cases of hair & makeup; all the supplies they would need. I might mention they arrived very early in the a.m. & traveled quite a distance, but that was just part of their service/routine. They had quite the smooth system going too; working on hair to makeup etc. Personally, my hair is long (and I ll Jr it down, but Carla convinced me to put it up in curls. It was gorgeous, everyone complimented on it. Everyone should not hesitate to utilize the quality & techniques of The Mane Attraction! Big city styles from a small town shop!

With Covid my previous hairdresser was overwhelmed as some of her employees quit and she couldn’t do my hair for my wedding. My sister in law gave me Mane Attraction’s phone. number. I told them about my wedding event and about my previous hair dresser and how I need someone to do my hair for my wedding. I had an appointment the next day to decide on how I wanted my hair done for my wedding.
Carla was so thoughtful, prompt, patient, and gave me many options for my special day!
The Mane Attraction also has a makeup specialist.
I had my makeup done for my Wedding at the same time after my hair was done. Carla made my day very special. Everyone told me how beautiful I looked on the day of my Wedding!!! The Mane Attraction has my business now!!! I had a small wedding event and I already had a vendor before I met Carla (Mane Attraction). This place is a hidden gem!!!!

My friend haired The Mane Attraction to do our hair and makeup for her wedding in August after we found them at a bridal show. They did a fabulous job on her hair and make up at the show, and a fabulous job for the entire bridal party for her wedding.
I’m excited for them to do the hair and make up for our bridal party in November.

If you're looking for high quality hair and makeup for your wedding, go to The Mane Attraction!! Working with Carla was fabulous! I stumbled across The Mane Attraction at a bridal show, where they did my hair and makeup on the spot. I went over to my parents that night and immediately my mom said, "that's your wedding hair"! It was that good, even being done at the bridal show. I saw them again in February because they were kind enough to work with me to do my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures. Then, I come to find out in May, my sister (Emily C!) had also contracted with them for her wedding, 3 months before mine. My hair for her wedding was amazing and both hers and mine stayed in all day/night (and into the next day - and hers was down!). For my wedding in August, they didn't disappoint! I received so many compliments on my hair the day of the wedding. Still a month later I'm getting compliments on how great my hair looked for my wedding. One of my bridesmaids is getting married in November and has chosen The Mane Attraction for hair and makeup for her wedding - I'm so excited to work with them again. I know they'll make me look fabulous!!

On Saturday 9/16/23, I came in for my bridal trail hair and makeup. To be honest, I did not enjoy my experience or leave feeling very happy with my hair and makeup. I didn't mention anything at the time because I am not very confrontational and like to give people some grace. I thought maybe once I was in different lighting, or I saw how I looked in pictures, I could feel different about it. I didn’t, in fact, I felt worse. I was there for 46 min (because as they mentioned several times they were on the way to a wedding) and felt rushed the entire time, so rushed I didn’t have much time to even process the whole experience. It is not just about the outcome of the hair and makeup (which I didn’t like). So, on top of feeling rushed, I don’t really think a close look was taken of either the picture of the hair or makeup that I provided. Very little questions were asked to ensure what I wanted. My hair had very little volume, no hair pulled out around my face, the twist/braid was barely there…I wasn’t asked about hair pieces, the dryer temperature was burning my head, a cape wasn’t provided to cover my clothes, the stylist was incredibly rough. I wasn't asked about my skin type. My makeup had little coverage, little to no blush or bronzer, no contouring, there was so much silver or highlighter under my eyes though, aging me incredibly cakey. The picture I provided for eyes had gold, copper, bronze…but mine looked silver and brown. The Makeup was not blended on my neck and ears, so a major difference was showing in the sunlight. On top of it all, my skin broke out after and has been itchy. While I was there the workers were bad mouthing people in town. I brought all this to the attention of the owner who was also the one who did my hair. She did say she was sorry I was not satisfied and offered for me to come back in. If it was just the outcome of the hair and makeup I would have but since the whole experience was not good. I suggested a refund and my deposit for the wedding back since there was 45 days for them to book other clients. She said sorry we don't do refunds! best wishes! I spent $190 on the trail and $200 deposit. I'm out $390 and will be doing my own hair for the wedding. Worst experience I have ever had any where!

Here is our email that was sent to you after you let us know that you were so dissatisfied...
. When you were at the salon the day of your trial not once did, we bad mouth anyone. We ask if you could come different day because we had a large wedding that day. You said that was the only day that could work for you, so we went ahead and tried to provide you with the best service we could with the time we had to give. I am a little puzzled that you would tip us since you were so unhappy. We offered you another trial free for hair and makeup so we could try to make you happy. Instead, you wrote horrible reviews on yelp, wedding wire, and the knot. It states in our bridal agreement that our retainer fee is non-refundable. I will be attaching both email and payment cancellations as expressed in our agreement that you sign. When I said best wishes I meant that sincerely and not in a negative way.

I am very sorry that you were not satisfied with your hair and makeup. I never spoke to you about the question you were asked. The contract states that if you have or more people receiving the same service as you, you are free. Would you like another free trial? We can offer you both hair and makeup to see if we can adjust anything for you to make you feel happy with our services. Please let us know if we can do that for you.

Hello,
Honestly, I don't wish to come back in. As mentioned before, I believe the appropriate thing to do would be address a refund.
Kelly
I am sorry we do not do refunds. Best wishes to you!
Bridal agreement page 3
* A non-refundable retainer fee of $20 per service per person is required to hold or book any date and is applied to the final balance on your wedding day. Any cancelation results in a complete forfeit of your retainer fee. Cash, Visa, Master card or Discover accepted. Checks are not accepted.
*All fees must be made by one person representing your group who then may collect payments from all participants if they are paying for services themselves.

The mane attraction came to St. Charles to do all the hair for me (the bride) and all the bridesmaids. She was flexible when I had to add on an additional person last minute. Everyone on her team was super nice and efficient! We were ready before the time we needed to be because they were so fast! All the hair looked stunning! It was everything I dreamed of for my wedding! My sister got married 3 months after me and they also did her hair and makeup! The airbrush makeup I got as a bridesmaid was amazing! Every single person they did loved it and not one issue!!

Overall, I had a good experience with the makeup artist we hired through The Mane Attraction, Stephanie. She was professional and definitely wanted to make her clients happy. I will say that she seemed a little less skilled than I would have liked my make up artist to be, and I had to be refresh her on what she was even supposed to do for my makeup on the day of because she didn’t take a pictures from our trial. Other than that she was very easy to work with.

We came in for a wedding for a friend of mine. I don't feel the salon is set up for wedding parties. There was no table to sit stuff on like coffee etc. There was only a limited amount of chairs so we were standing a majority of them time and were navigating through other guests coming into the salon.
I last minute decided to get lashes, originally was not booked for anything, the lashes are $24 and I was not happy with mine. I asked for simple natural and I got very long lashes - very unnatural looking. They also were not on my lash line. Even when I was sitting in the chair she had to re-glue them. I ended up having to take them off after an hour because they were not staying on.
There was also TONS of dust everywhere that looked like it had been there for a long time. There's a corner booth that had dust all over it, under all the shelves and the shelves were covered in dust.
Please read their yelp reviews.
Vendor response 05/23/2023
We are sorry you were unhappy with our salon. We allowed you used our counter top for your...
coffee; which was perfect. As for seating we had seven seat available in our salon which were all with in the room with the bridal party. As far as guests coming in and out of the salon we also have a massage therapist and independent contractor that also have clients that come in and we had seating for them as well. The bride only rented the hairstylist and the makeup artist out not the whole salon. We are sorry that you are unhappy with the lash you picked out, however the photo you posted were beautiful and natural. Our cleaning crew comes in on Sunday and sometimes pending on how much hairspray is used in the salon that week it can seem to look as if we had a lot of dust when in reality it was a layer of hairspray. We are sincerely sorry your experience.

I recently hired the Main Attraction for both hair and air brush makeup for my wedding.
They are professional, friendly, and have excellent service. Not only are they great with adults but they worked fantastic with my little flower girl. I had complements on my hair and makeup all evening and it looked great for hours!
I highly recommend them for your future event and the price is right!

Ladies were on time and professional. friendly and easy to work with. prices are reasonable and they make it easy to pay anywhere. They work fast but also with great care and attention to their work. 6 of us had hair done for my wedding and they finished us all in 2 hours! Everyone's hair looked fabulous and stayed all day! We felt like hair models lol. They explained what they were doing the products being put in our hair and how to add the veil and secured everything perfectly. Showed my girls how to fix my hair if it happened to fall some. Our hair did not budge all day! From hours before ceremony even began to photos in SIUE Gardens to dancing the night away not a piece nor a curl fell! Through all the sweat, dancing hugs and tugs it didn't fall a bit! I even fell asleep without taking my hair down and it didn't move even through sleep!!! Now that's some staying power! These ladies do not disappoint.

The Mane Attraction was the best choice I could have made for my wedding day! I found them through a local bridal expo and it was truly fantastic customer service from the moment I approached them that day and every day after!! I know I looked and felt my absolute best on my wedding day because of Carla and Jaylyn. Seriously I can not even begin to recommend these ladies enough. I have never had airbrush make up done before and it lasted all night through hours or dancing and sweating. They were just the best people to have around at our venue the morning of our wedding and completely went with the flow. Love love love this company and am so grateful I chose them to style myself, four bridesmaids, my mom and my husbands mom. I would recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup services, and will be back myself for any airbrush needs I might have in the future!

Carla and Valerie are true professionals when it comes to doing hair for weddings. I had an updo and received numerous comments on my hair. One person even took photos of my hair at the reception because it was so stunning. Carla and Valerie were on time The morning of the wedding, brought all the necessary materials that were needed, styled everyone’s hair according to their request, and even finished up a little bit early. My rating is 10 out of 10. A+.
Also two weeks before the wedding Carla colored my hair and it was the best Color With highlights that I have ever had!!!!!!

I got my hair done for my wedding and the entire experience with the hair stylist was phenomenal. My hair was set for the entire evening even through WILD dancing and sweating. My mother was very worried about how her hair was going to look since it has been thinning and more frizzy than normal and Carla tamed it and put it in the most gorgeous updo, it truly left my mom feeling like a queen. Highly recommend. They also got hair done in record time without cutting corners. Carla also showed us how to attach my veil so that it did not damage the style when I decided to take it off later in the night, and it worked like a charm.

Carla at The Mane Attraction has done my hair for my entire life. From my first hair cut, to dance recitals, to proms, to finally my wedding. She has never disappointed me and has always gone above and beyond. The Mane Attraction did such a wonderful job on all the girls hair. Everyone still had curls in the next morning. They gave us all what we wanted and made sure everything was perfect. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else but the ladies at The Mane Attraction to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Everyone and everything looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

I used Mane Attraction for my wedding day hair and makeup services. Mane Attraction has a lot of staff, so they are able to provide you with any services needed at great prices. The salon also specializes in event and wedding services, so they do have great prior experience. Laurie, my hair stylist, was amazing! I highly recommend her to anyone. She is so nice, fun, and talented!!! My only complaint is the airbrush on the day of our wedding took a long time, so the last 4 people who had their makeup done on my wedding day were definitely rushed... I wish the makeup time could have been better managed. Nonetheless, I still highly recommend Mane Attraction for your wedding day needs. The owner is very accommodating and will truly do anything to provide you with what you need for your special day.

The Mane Attraction was nothing short of amazing on our wedding day in November 2020. They came to our location and did beautiful hair and my favorite, airbrush make up. I’ve never felt so beautiful. In fact they did such a good job, when I ran up to my mother in law after getting off the party bus she didn’t even recognize me. All three ladies that came out were so nice and made you feel comfortable the minute they started. You could definitely tell they are experts. Recommend 10/10!

I saw The Mane Attraction at a bridal show in Belleville just before covid began. Carla, the owner, did my trial hair for my upcoming wedding and I had my makeup done as well. They were very professional and nice but it wasn't exactly what I wanted. I came back to their location and had another trial done by Carla herself. She did my hair exactly as pictured and after some thought it wasn't what I wanted again... my hair just doesn't like curl like I wanted it to. I went back a third time for a trial and Carla was so sweet and understanding and we found a simple style I loved! I was so worried I would upset her by saying I didn't like my trials but she assured me that for my wedding day I needed to be happy so she was happy to help as much as it took. on my wedding day I loved my hair and my very simple makeup was beautiful (my request)!!! I felt like a queen! I've had a haircut done with Carla and clearly I am very picky about my hair and honestly it was the best haircut I have ever had. I will be back and I will be recommending The Mane Attraction to any future brides looking for a salon on their big day! As for covid measures, they are very clean and take great care in making sure guests feel comfortable and safe. Prices are very fair and I've had better service here than some of the more expensive places out there. I live 30 minutes from The Mane Attraction but it has been with the drive and will still be for all my future haircuts! Thank you Carla and team for treating myself and my bridesmaids to a wonderful wedding day! We were all very happy with our hair and makeup!

Outstanding service, each and everyone that works for the Mane Attraction were fantastic!! The girls were so kind and professional with the airbrush makeup and hair. Carla simply made this a dream come true for my sister. Everything about that day was unique and special. Not only did you bring smiles to the bridal party - you created a picture framed moment we can’t forget! I highly recommend The Mane Attraction - for anyone looking to have spectacular and passions work done on their hair!
Thank you Carla!!

There’s not enough words to describe how amazing the mane attraction is. I have been going to them for several years and knew without a doubt that I wanted them to do hair and makeup for my wedding. Carla and all of the girls always go out of there way to make sure that their clients are happy. I couldn’t have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. All of my girls hair and makeup was stunning. We had such a fun time with everyone in the salon and wouldn’t have had it any other way on my special day.

The ladies from this salon did such a wonderful job with my hair and makeup for my cousins wedding this past weekend! I showed her a picture of what I was wanting to do with my hair and she went above and beyond what I asked for. My makeup was amazing! I did the airbrush and it felt to light that if not for the eyeshadow I would’ve thought there wasn’t anything on my face! They did such a great job of doing a natural but glam look! I highly recommend!

Thank you so much Carla and makeup artists! My hair looked better than it ever has and I loved my makeup! I got so many compliments, I felt like a celebrity. I am so glad my daughter-in-law Vannessa chose your shop to make her wedding party beautiful! I highly recommend Mane Attraction for your upcoming wedding! And definitely opt for the airbrush makeup, so worth the price.... it not only lasted through my tears, but also through the whole ceremony and reception! Thank you for making us all feel beautiful the day of the wedding!!

Carla did hair for my wedding and it was just absolutely beautiful! She was very good! She also pays attention to the little details. The girls that did the make up did so great. We all looked so great. They are really good at matching skin colors. I highly suggest the airbrush! I am just so very happy we went with them for the wedding!

They were amazing, so kind, and very punctual! My bridesmaids and I were absolutely amazed and pleased with their work. Our makeup and hair turned out beautifully and we did not have any problems with them at all! Our hair stayed in place and our makeup stayed intact despite all the moving and dancing. As for me, my hair and makeup turned out better than I imagined it would! I am so happy with them and so happy they did my hair and makeup!

I have nothing but glowing reviews for the Mane Attraction. All of my bridesmaids were more than happy with their hair and makeup. The staff was so nice and a lot of fun! They really made my day special. I did not feel surprised by anything, as they were upfront and completely honest about all aspects of their services. I had 18 people getting hair and makeup done and everyone was done on time. That is no small task! I couldn't have been happier; thank you guys <3

My experience with this company was extremely disappointing, and I feel as if they lied to me. Here are the bullet points of the overall process, from booking to final product.
(1) The Lying: Upon booking I was asked, "What made you think of us?" I told them I was a Collinsville Student, and I remembered the women who used to go to their salon. The woman's response was, "The one with the picture of the lion on it?" I said, "Yes, that's the one." She replied, "How fun! Yup, that is definitely us." The day of my wedding she asks me the same question. Confused as to why I'm being asked this question twice, I provide the same answer. Her co-worker laughed, and I asked, "Why is that funny?" The same woman's response was, "Because that's not us." The woman then informed me, "You must have been mistaken honey." Um. NOPE. Sure wasn't.
(2) The Payment: I ordered hair and makeup service for five women on location. I paid for all services in full up front including taxes and transportation. Not only did they ask for payment the day of because they were unprepared (which we quickly remedied) but they also tried to charge me an additional $20 "No-Show," fee. I'm sorry, but the purpose of a no-show fee is to recoup from lost commission. When a patron prepays everything, then there is no lost commission. Finally, they were expecting a tip. I've been informed this is somehow still a standard in the business. Please watch Adam Ruins Tips on YouTube and begin charging your clients what you think you're worth while paying your staff what they are worth versus placing the burden of appropriate compensation at the mercy of customer. Thanks.
(3) The hair: The one thing no one had a problem with was how their hair turned out. Everyone had an
