The Opal Salon completed all of my bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law, and I's hair and they all turned out great! They were also willing to travel all the way over to Foley, Alabama to help complete our looks. I know everyone felt so beautiful with their hair done. They made the day so smooth and were very efficient!

Dianna is OUTSTANDING! She did hair and makeup for my wedding; she perfected both. I was an 'from out of town' bride and scheduling was tricky. Dianna not only 'made' time for me, ...
she was thorough and VERY talented. Loved my time hanging out with her too (AND her puppy)!!!

Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing (most importantly my own)! Thank you Salon D!

I used Salon D for hair and make up for myself, flower girl and mother for my destination wedding in May. I did a trial with Daisy a few months prior. She was very knowledgeable,...
professional and had great recommendations. Daisy handled the majority our services on the day of the wedding and continued with the great service and attention to detail. Alton did the flower girl's up-do and was great with her. The owner Dianna was terrific to work with setting up the trial and final service especially given that we were from out of town. I am glad I found Salon D. They made what could have been a stressful process very comfortable and relaxing.

Salon D saved the day!!!! There was some miscommunication about hair on the day of my wedding- which left me and 7 bridesmaids without anyone to do our hair! Needless to say, I was...
a wreck!!! One call to Salon D and they rushed over to our hotel (which was 3 blocks away). Diana and Patrick were miracle workers! Not only did they finish all of our hair in under 3.5 hours but our hair looked AMAZING!!! I will shout it from the rooftops about how wonderful Salon D, Diana, and Patrick are!!!

nail on the head with the trial and gave me a stunning look. I also received the best manicure of my life. It lasted 3 weeks!The day of the wedding the team came to the house where we staying. My airbrush make-up and "beachy" hair lasted all day and night. My bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and make-up too. Dianna's prices are reasonable and her team is hip and trendy. I highly recommend Salon D Nola.

Thank you to Dianna for making me beautiful on my special day. My hair and makeup looked great until the wee hours - pretty remarkable because we had an outdoor ceremony on a NOLA...
Summer day. I looked glamorous but not overdone and received so many complements. My groom was so pleased! Dianna and team are super laid back and accommodating. Super creative retro updo's and makeup. Amy gave me a terrific mani/pedi that lasted forever. On street parking is easy around the salon and I understand Dianna will even come to your hotel or venue to get you looking fabulous too. I am now a regular customer for color and haircut, mani/pedi. The last time I was in a bride to be came from Florida to have Dianna do her color before her big day. She wouldn't trust anyone else. Whether you are local or visiting, need a quick blow out, color/cut or special updo and makeup - I recommend a visit to Salon D. Love those ladies!

I have been going to Dianna since I moved to FL in 2005, she is fantastic. Even though she has been living in New Orleans for a few years now, Dianna flew back to St. Petersburg, ...
FL to do my hair & makeup as well as 3 BM, the MOB & my officiant's for my big day. Everyone's hair & makeup was stunning & we had so much fun getting it done. If you are having your wedding in NOLA or just there visiting & want a great blow out or up do I highly recommend Dianna at Salon D Nola. If you are lucky enough to live in NOLA make Salon D Nola your new go to place for all of your hair, make up, nail & beauty needs.
