The Powder Room is an excellent vendor for bridal and bridal party hair and makeup. After having a bad experience with a former HMU vendor, I was less than a month out from my Marc...h 2023 wedding when I realized I needed to find something new. I messaged The Powder Room on The Knot, desperate to find a vendor with availability on our date to do my hair and makeup. I think I lucked out being able to book them so late, probably primarily because my husband and I got married on a weekday. The Powder Room's coordinator Sarah responded to me pretty quickly and listened with care to my concerns and worries. This was a breath of fresh air after my previous vendor ignored my concerns. Sarah scheduled a trial with Rachel, the owner of The Powder Room, and Rachel, too, was genuinely invested in me being happy and looking like I wanted to on my wedding day. I had been so nervous after the previous bad experience that I was so extremely relieved to have someone sit down after the makeup was finished, and directly asked me to critique her work. What did I like? What didn't I like? How can we make you feel *even better*? As an introvert and non-confrontational person, it's sometimes hard for me to voice things about any changes I'd have done to a service, especially since I'm fairly inexperienced with makeup.
Later, my mother-in-law, sister, and sisters-in-law asked if they would be able to get their hair and makeup done with me the day of the wedding (we didn't otherwise have a bridal party). I was nervous about asking The Powder Room for even more services at last minute and tempered my family's expectations. But Sarah found a way to make it work! She brought in Raquel and Meagan to help do their hair and makeup. I was honestly so, so surprised with their willingness to cater to these requests: they clearly care about the happiness of their clients.
The day of my wedding, my family and I had wonderful experiences working with Raquel, Meagan, and Renee. Renee was able to give me exactly the look I was going for. She made me feel absolutely beautiful (and absolutely myself). I couldn't imagine a better outcome to what felt hopeless a month earlier with the other vendor. The Powder Room was considerate, courteous, professional, and helpful in making my day absolutely perfect, despite my coming to them so extremely late. I highly recommend The Powder Room as a bridal (and bridal party) hair and makeup vendor.
