We loved Kyli and Janet at Vanity Salon and my bridesmaids and I have never felt more beautiful! Thank you so much for making our wedding day feel that much more special. We did a combination of hair, traditional makeup, and airbrush and not only were they super accommodating and professional for 11 people, but they also were so kind and friendly, even sharing some tips and tricks! I wanted something super natural that would last all day and they delivered. Would definitely recommend them for your wedding day!

I can't begin to say enough about the wedding team at Vanity Salon. They traveled an hour and a half to my venue in Pineland, SC, while they are based in Mount Pleasant, SC. Kim, Kristen, Michele, and Holly all arrived on time and worked their magic. They were so patient with my bridesmaid and my now MIL who decided she wanted to change her look the day of my wedding.
Make up and hair looked great. So happy and would use them again for just about any event.
Any questions?

Communication with this salon was very poor. So much so that they got my end time incorrect on the day of my wedding and had the end time set at the start time of my wedding. I informed them when time was getting close but that did not change the pace they were going at, which was very slow. Minnie was my hair stylist and failed to do my hair or any of my bridesmaids hair the way we requested. When she was told we were running way behind, she proceeded to take my hair down and completely redo it 3x. Leigh was the makeup artist. Me and my bridesmaids asked for very simple glam and I would say ours were very bold. She excessively filled in our brows while talking about how terrible they were, which came off as very rude. We ended up getting out of the salon over an hour after what we were supposed to, meaning I got to the venue right as I was to walk down the aisle. I didn’t get to do any of the before photos including a first look. Plus I was paying my photographer for that time and so that cut into what photos we could get after and since we go none beforehand, that meant I didn’t get half of what I paid my photographer for (which is not the photographers fault at all). When I stressed to the stylists that I had to be gone, they were unfazed and blew me off. I am very disappointed in how much I missed out on because of the lack of communication between owner and staff of this salon, as well as their lack of communication and customer service with me and my bridesmaids. I had a destination wedding so I did as much research as I could and picked based on other’s recommendations. I would not recommend this salon as a bridal salon. Pictures shown are what I asked for versus what I got.

My hair does not hold curl well. For my bridal trial, Janet did a phenomenal job using all the tools she had to get my hair to hold! It did which was amazing and I felt prepared for our wedding day! But when the hair and makeup artists showed up, Janet was unable to attend and when another artist did my hair it fell within the hour which was extremely disappointing. The makeup was done poorly and my bridesmaids actually ended up redoing their makeup after the artists left. It was an expensive service for a majority of the bridal party to be disappointed in the quality.

They did really amazing on my hair and make up I choose to do in salon for the price and that is very chaotic but they have a back room which is very nice. Extremely accommodating. I loved loved loved Janet she did amazing. When I voiced concerns about my girls they were fixed promptly and very gracefully. They did not book enough time for us as they had to rush at the end. My girls have very long and thick hair. I had some stylist who I loved how they did hair and/or make up and others I didn't care for but it all still look okay and held up so I can't complain! My hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the whole day I could not have been happier about the way I looked. Thank you so much Janet!

The Full Package!
Booking Vanity Salon and working with Kim, Holly, and Kristen was the easiest part of the wedding process. Not only was I able to get a soft glow tan but my makeup was flawless along with my hair. I was able to arrange for my mother and mother-in-law to also have their hair and makeup done. The looks were soft and natural but also bold enough to stand out in photos and remain on throughout the day. I would highly recommend using Vanity Salon for all bridal needs.

I had a really hard time finding the right salon for my wedding. I called numerous salons that told me that to send photos and they would create the bridal look on the day of my wedding. Kim and her team were the only ones who made time to preview and perfect the look.
I would recommend this salon to any bride and bridal party. They exceeded what I was looking for!

Before my destination wedding in Charleston, I tried out two other hair salons, but both were pushy and did not see my vison. Kim and Kristen along with Holly saw my vision and perfected it. I was so impressed with the patience they had with me and my bridal party. Would use them 1000 times over for my hair and makeup

Looking for a person to do not only my hair but my bridesmaid's hair was not easy. The cost was extravagant or there was no "team" to do everyone's hair and makeup at the same time. Most vendors were only interested booking one person at a time. Vanity Salon had a "team" of wedding experts ready to go. It was really easy to set up a time for me to be ready with my bridesmaids and have everyone ready to go ON TIME! I was super nervous, but girls made me laugh and I was able to loosen up to see my bridal beauty. Would recommend for any priority event!

I would avoid Vanity Salon at all costs. Like many other reviewers here, I had a very unprofessional experience and wish I would have heeded other's advice prior to booking with Vanity Salon for my wedding. I had a small wedding and only needed makeup done for myself. In January, I booked both a makeup trial (scheduled for late February) as well as an in-salon appointment for the day of my wedding (April) to have my makeup done. The trial went as planned - Minnie did my makeup and everything looked ok overall though there were a few things I was planning to ask her to change for the day of. Fast forward to 3 days before my wedding and I get a call from Minnie saying that she wasn't going to be available to do my makeup for the day of the event because she was going to an off-site wedding... To make matters worse, she offered to book me with another stylist but the only available appointment for that day was at 9am...for my wedding that started at 5pm. Despite all of this, I received absolutely no apology for their unorganized and completely unprofessional behavior. I ended up canceling the appointment altogether and had a friend do my makeup instead. And honestly, it turned out better than the trial anyway.

I do not recommend this salon for wedding events. The communication was 0 to none. It would take up to 6 days for a response to be given through email. I called several times to try to discuss it over the phone to be more efficient and they would say they will get back to me through email. After waiting more than a week for a response I would call the salon and they would not answer. I truly felt at a lost with them and I hope they give better service to other people.

Definitely wished I trusted the other reviews about the owner Kim. An absolute nightmare to deal with. We had a quick engagement and then a Covid quarantine meant I could do my trial 22 days before the wedding. I was in tears because of Kim. She was rude and did a horrible job with my hair. She was constantly texting someone during my trial and acted though I was inconveniencing her. She slicked my hair back which I said I wanted it loose. She said it could not look like the inspo photo because my hair wasn’t highlighted. (2 other stylists were horrified when I showed what Kim did, one of which said, “that looks like a messy after soccer bun”). On the day of, Janet did my makeup and was nice. Kylie stepped in to do hair and she did a great job. It was blind trust though on my wedding day and I had no idea who would be doing my hair until hours before my wedding. While Janet and Kylie were great, I would never be able to recommend Vanity to anyone. If I hadn’t been so close to my wedding, I would have searched for a different hair and makeup vendor.

Working with Kim was such a great experience! Things got chaotic the last few weeks leading up to the event because of COVID. Multiple of my bridesmaids couldn’t make it. She was so understanding.
She came and did hair/makeup for me, my mom and two of my bridesmaid. My mom and bridesmaids looked gorgeous. I felt absolutely beautiful. Every woman deserves to feel stunning on her wedding day, and Kim is the best at making this happen.

I highly recommend Vanity Salon for your wedding hair and makeup needs! After sharing some photos for inspiration, Kim, Janet, and Joel absolutely nailed the look I was going for. Not only that, but even after shedding some happy tears during the ceremony and dancing the night away, my hair and makeup stayed picture perfect (which is quite the feat considering that I have fine hair and oily skin). It's also worth mentioning that Vanity Salon offers on-site services! My bridal party and I were able to get our hair and makeup done at the wedding venue, which made for a more relaxing afternoon. Overall, Vanity Salon's services are top notch and they made getting ready an enjoyable experience!

I hired Vanity for my wedding hair and makeup, and it is the one vendor that I wish I did differently. Janet was great and a life saver, but besides her I was very unimpressed with the services. I did a hair and makeup trial a few months before - Hannah did my makeup (which I liked) and Janet did my hair. On the day of the wedding they didn't send Hannah and had her working at the salon which I thought was strange. Why would the person who did my makeup trial not do my makeup for the wedding? Kim did hair and makeup for a couple of my bridesmaids and then quickly rushed out. Both bridesmaids then had to have Janet fix their hair and makeup because Kim didn't listen at all to what they wanted. Benny was one of the people they sent to do hair, and it seemed like he was somewhat new. All he knew how to do was curl hair so he would curl and then Lee would do the styling, which would have been fine except he took FOREVER to curl each person's hair. My hair came out fine, but it wasn't what I showed for a picture. Everyone who wanted loose curls got crimped hair. All of my bridesmaids commented on how unprofessional the services were. Again, Janet was the exception to all of this and was amazing and was there to fix everyone's hair and makeup to get them more what they wanted. She also stayed on site for extra time to do touch ups after our first look before the ceremony. If you're looking for more glam makeup, I'd recommend looking elsewhere.

We had the pleasure of having Minnie work with us with hair and makeup for my best friends wedding and she was all around amazing. Everyone looked amazing! She was so compassionate, accommodating, and personable. Not one of us in the bridal party were from the area so we were quite nervous but she made the start of our morning getting ready so easy.

Thank you to Vanity Salon for doing such a great job for my wedding day!! Hannah did a wonderful job on make-up for me and my girls! My makeup and lashes were flawless through the night and she was so easy-going and pleasant. Benny and Kim did a fantastic job with hair as well! I loved my half up half down hairstyle and it seriously lasted the entire night of dancing!

I would 10/10 recommend hiring Vanity Salon for your wedding party hair and make-up. As the bride I was so blown away. I wasn't super pumped about my trial run so I was a bit nervous on the day of my wedding, but they have hired new people, specifically a new make-up artist and she was incredible. I absolutely LOVED my hair and make-up on my wedding day, and so did my entire bridal party. I showed pictures and they made the look come to life. We were very impressed. I had to reschedule my wedding twice due to Covid, and they were so flexible and great about working with me! If you are getting married in Charleston I would 100% give them a call!

Vanity Salon truly made me feel like a princess! I had a trial before the wedding day which I absolutely loved! Between the trial and the wedding day I changed my mind. (Yes I was one of those Brides that changed their mind on the Wedding Day) They were flexible and made sure that my new idea was everything I wanted! My Bridesmaids and I had so much fun chatting with them and it was most definitely stress free. I now know why so many people recommended them. Great job ladies, keep up the great work!

I have not used this salon for individual services but I did use them for my wedding services. First off I waited to contact the salon and speak with the owner before I wrote this review to give them the chance to know what happened and see how they would handle the situation. I had a VERY poor experience with the day of service and the discussion afterwards. These are not the only things that upset me that day but just a few highlights. First we communicated beforehand on how many girls would need makeup and hair that day and they let me know two girls would be coming to help. That day they sent three girls. Not a problem except I had to pay the extra traveling cost for the extra stylist that I wasn’t aware of. I would have appreciated the communication before. The owner said she would refund me part of the money back but has yet to do so after a couple weeks. They didn’t provide ANY LIPSTICK for ANYBODY! The owner said I should have asked for it if I wanted any… I shouldn’t have to ask for lipstick when I’m paying to have my makeup done and I did ask for it. The stylist said she would give me some at the end but just walked out without providing any lipstick or touchups (and yes we asked for touchups as well). The makeup that was done on both mothers was not exactly what we wanted and asked to have the eye makeup redone. We provided pictures and talked about the result being an “enhanced natural” look. The second time was done just as poor. We had to try and blend it later by ourselves. Once again nobody stayed for touchups. Also, they texted me (the bride) an hour before walking down the aisle asking for additional payment which I found to be very unprofessional. It turned out to be a mistake on their part (they contacted the wrong party) and we paid in full earlier. NO apologies were made on their part for the stress that it caused. Also beware, I had $100 deposit that was supposed to go towards service but they conveniently forgot to include. Thankfully I remembered as the last person was paying and it was then deducted from my bridesmaids cost. The owner took no responsibility for her employees stating “You had a bad experience with that person, not the salon as a whole”. I expected her to stand by her employees who represent her salon. She also continued to make excuses and putting the blame on me. “You should have asked for lipstick, you should have asked for extra bobbi pins, Its not our fault the makeup was done poorly, you should have asked for it to be redone. That’s not our fault” Reminder- I did ask for all those things. Overall, I was very unhappy with the services that day but just as unhappy with the response I was given when I tried to communicate with the owner. I wish communication was better throughout the experience. To end on a positive note- I got to marry the most wonderful man which nothing can hinder.

Poor communication prior to hair and makeup trial. For the wedding, we attempted to change the time for them to come, I emailed and called multiple times trying to clarify what time they would be there but did not get a response. On the wedding day, the hair and makeup artists arrived and were very upset that we weren't ready (Even though they never told us when they would come). They tried to say they didn't have time to do the mother of the brides makeup. The bride had to get upset with them and discuss poor communication on wedding day in order for them to drop the attitude and do the makeup. They were very sweet after the bride confronted them but it was too late. They need better administrative staffing. Actual services, however, were good.

I was disappointed after seeing amazing reviews as I did not have the same experience of other brides. My coordinator and I sent the timeline to the salon multiple times to make sure it would work for everyone, however, when I showed up as per my timeline, Kim had left for another wedding. I felt my trial run was a waste and would have arranged to come earlier had I been told this information. 4 of the hairstyles fell out after the ceremony so I unfortunately would not recommend to a friend.

I just loved working with Kim Coleman with Vanity Salon. She went above and beyond for my fiancé and myself I’m so many ways. She did a beautiful job on my makeup and did it very quickly because she’s so good at what she does. Same with my hair. It looked beautiful and lasted through nearly 2 hours in the wind by the Battery. That’s some skill! Do yourself a favor and book her!

Everyone loved their hair and makeup! I got the airbrush makeup and absolutely loved it! Definitely recommend spending a little extra to get that done. They were very knowledgeable with the different styles my bridesmaids wanted. They came out to the house and easily set up their stations. My only complaint was that one of the hair dressers was extremely unpleasant. She had a nasty look on her face and barely talked. However, her work was good.

We very much enjoyed working with Vanity Salon. We had 6 girls getting hair and makeup done and they brought 2 people to work on us! They worked quickly but efficiently. I loved my hair that Kim styled and the airbrush makeup makes you look flawless! The only thing I suggest is that for brides who are paying for your bridal party to get hair/makeup make sure you tell them what type of makeup you want everyone to get. My stepmom footed the bill, but I do know that they offered airbrush to each girl as they got their makeup done and I'm unsure if that costed more or was the same price as traditional makeup! Hopefully it was the same price, but if not they should verify with the person paying if it's okay to offer a different option that what was previously discussed via email as far as what everyone was getting. This is just a tip for future brides but definitely doesn't detract their 5 star review! They were wonderful to work with and I would use them again in a heartbeat! My makeup even held up all night even though I sweated a LOT from the dancing and humidity! I highly recommend these ladies!

I am so delighted we found Vanity for our wedding day hair and makeup! Of all the professional traveling artists in Charleston, they were among the most affordable AND impressive. I had a great trial with Teresa and Bailey at the Mt. Pleasant salon, and an even better day with them and Minnie on our wedding. We had 7 bridesmaids with a variety of hair textures and lengths and Minnie and Teresa rocked them all. As someone with fairly small, hooded eyes who doesn't wear much makeup, I was really nervous about wedding makeup, but Bailey did a WONDERFUL job of creating a natural but glam look that lasted all night. On top of that, the three ladies did great with the timing of the day and getting through so many of us :). I cannot recommend Vanity enough!

Not to mention, they are extremely reasonably priced for the quality of work they do and was definitely the best deal that I found!

Julia and Rhonda did my hair/makeup as well as the rest of my bridal party. They did an amazing job! Everyone was really happy with their hair styles. Julia did amazing on my hair and makeup-my features really popped in pictures and the makeup stayed put even through first look tears, eating, etc.

I honestly felt so incredibly beautiful thanks to Rhonda! She did everything exactly as I wanted and when I didn’t know, she knew what to do and did it perfectly. My girls and mother in law looked and felt absolutely amazing.. that’s all I could ask for! Even stayed in place after all the crying and sweating too 👍🏻 and to say they are accommodating is a understatement.. they were able to work some magic to get us ready earlier than expected and I could not be more grateful for that.

I go to Rhonda for my regular hair cuts so we hired her for my wedding hair and makeup as well. She did a fabulous job and was very receptive to what I liked and didn't like in order to make it all perfect! My bridesmaids were also very happy with their hair and makeup done by Vanity Salon!

Chelsea Sharon did my hair and makeup for my wedding that was on April 8, 2018. She is wonderful and really listens to the client to make she sure gives them exactly what they want. Me and my bridesmaids looked great!!

I was lucky enough to book my bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and my hair and make-up with Vanity Salon in West Ashley. Liz (Elizabeth) was great to work with. She did both my trial run and day of look. I had a few changes from my trial for the day of and was worried that I would hurt her feelings but she took my ideas with grace and made me feel comfortable. I loved the final look and felt so beautiful. I only scheduled make-up for the rest of my entourage but they were able to accommodate the last minute changes when the ladies wanted to get their hair done as well, and they all looked beautiful as well. They were affordable and quick to respond to emails and phone calls.

The girls from vanity salon did on-site hair and make-up for me and my bridal party. They were amazing! They showed up on time and worked efficiently. They even re-worked one of my bridesmaid's hair when she wasn't completely happy with it. Chelsea did my hair, and I got so many compliments on it at the wedding (thanks so much Chelsea!). This salon is a great value for the money and I would absolutely recommend them for bridal services.

Chelsea and Julia at Vanity Salon worked as a team for my bridal party's hair and makeup and they were both phenomenal! Each girl's hair and makeup looked fabulous and all were so pleased! I was so impressed how they were able to take everyone's inspiration pictures and bring them to life, just as they were pictured! (If not better!) They were both extremely professional, talented, organized, and stayed right on track with our time schedule. In addition, they were both an absolute joy to work with on my special day! I enjoyed working closely with Chelsea, as she conducted my bridal hair/makeup trial. She listened to my wants and gave me great suggestions! I was so pleased with my hair/makeup at my trial and the day of my wedding. In addition, Ashley with Vanity Salon was prompt to reply to all of my email messages to coordinate booking the onsite wedding day services, scheduling my trial, making last minute changes, and answering any questions. Thank you to the ladies at Vanity Salon for making my wedding day perfect! <3

I was so beyond pleased with Vanity Salon. I planned a destination wedding and my wedding planner recommended them and right from the start they were great. Ashley was always quick with her email responses any time I had a question or a change. I did a few trials with Kristen and always left there feeling beautiful. Kristen and Kim came the morning of my wedding to do hair and makeup for 11 women. Every single one of my bridesmaids and MOB and MOG was so pleased with the results and them being able to mold between everyone's different wants. My Matron of Honor even stating that in the numerous weddings she has been a part of she has never been so in love with a hair style as she was the day of my wedding. It's those little things that really start a morning off right and continued into the night. I had asked Kristen to pin my hair loosely so that a few curls would fall out by the end of the night and that is exactly how it played out. I felt absolutely beautiful on the day of my wedding and I couldn't have been happier!

Liz and Shauna did a great job with our hair and makeup for my wedding day. They were on time and extremely efficient. I loved that they actually came to the venue to do our hair/makeup. It was awesome to relax in our bridal suite, have lunch, then just get our hair and makeup done right there. There can be so many nerves or last minute things to worry about, and being able to relax right at the venue and get our hair/make-up done took away any anxiety of not knowing what was going on at the venue without us there. Everyone loved their hair/makeup and we all got tons of compliments. The makeup they did for each girl was perfect and was not too over the top or too simple. We all just looked like even better versions of our own selves. Everyone’s hair stayed up and looking great the entire night, as well as all of our makeup. I had a trial run with Liz ahead of time and I loved that she tried multiple things and was not afraid to suggest ideas of what would look best. I ended up changing the hairstyle that we practiced with but from working on my hair and sending her pictures of the new style, she was able to do my final style perfectly. I loved working with both of these women on the day of my wedding and totally recommend them to anyone getting married.

Korissa was a pleasure to work with for my big day! Both the practice session and the actual day of services were amazing. I was an out of town bride and this salon put my worries at ease that I would look my best on my big day. The up do she did for my hair was perfect for the humid Charleston weather and the air brush makeup was a dream! I looked amazing without looking overdone. Two of my bridal party also had services with other members of their staff. They all looked great and we all felt welcomed and pampered for the event. I recommend this place hands down. They know what they are doing and they take care of you! Ashley on their email scheduling was amazing and responsive! Thanks for making my day even better! Highly recommend!

From my trial to actual wedding day, Vanity Salon was always putting me first. Being an out of town bride, they established open communication throughout the whole process. During my trial, Kim talked me out of a half-up to a low-side up-do, and thank goodness she did! On the day of, my hair stayed put and looked gorgeous throughout the entire event! My hair and make up withheld heat, then rain (Yes, rain!), glow stick crowns, veil, and dancing for about 3 hours straight. My airbrush makeup was beautiful! Kim took my inspiration of light pinks and glow then replicated it through airbrush application. I highly suggest Brides getting airbrush! It was a lifesaver. I also went for fake eyelashes since I was not having a smokey eye done, and it added a dramatic effect without going over board. Vanity Salon also accommodated my bridesmaids and mother in law. There was no pressure in meeting a quota of bridesmaids or money amount (Example. there was no $400 minimum or at least 6 applications). There was known of that, so my bridal party did not feel pressured for everyone to get something done. The girls that didn't get hair or makeup done professionally did regret not going to Vanity Salon. They were the perfect beauty vendor for our wedding!

Vanity Salon is my favorite salon, and I live in NYC! One of my best friends (and bridesmaids!) is a stylist there, so I would have never gone anywhere else, but my review isn't completely biased :)
It's true that I used Vanity because of Kristen Litchfield, but I have seen the salon in action and all of the women are great. I've lived in NYC for 10 years and have seriously never found a salon I like better than Vanity. Kristen did my color, styling (with extensions!), and makeup. She did a great job and I have never felt more beautiful.
Another one of my bridesmaids got married 2 months before me in Charleston as well. Based solely on reviews she hired Vanity to do her and her bridesmaids makeup. She lives in Vegas and doesn't know Kristen! It was just such a cool coincidence, and such a fun experience.
The girls come to your hotel, or wherever you're getting ready, they're on time, they're professional, they look great! They have different options for every budget. Korissa did my makeup for my friend's wedding and it was stunning.
I highly recommend checking them out...you won't be disappointed!

Vanity Salon was wonderful to work with for our wedding. Kim and Ashley were incredibly flexible helping me coordinate everything. Shauna was wonderful handling both my trials as well as the day-of. My hair stayed together beautifully, despite the heavy winds during our outdoor ceremony. I was so happy they convinced me to do airbrush makeup – it felt light and really stayed in place all night. The stylists traveled to Wild Dunes to do the hair/makeup of my wedding party and special guests. Everyone was so happy with how their hair turned out, and it was such a fun and relaxing day for all of us.

I absolutely loved my hair and makeup for my wedding. The team did a fantastic job and my hair looked exactly like how it was done during the trial. The girls even stayed later so I could get touched up after our pictures downtown and before the ceremony. Everyone was so professional and we had a great time. Thank you all so much for helping to make this an unforgettable day!

I am so pleased with my experience at Vanity Salon. All of the stylists at Vanity Salon are incredibly talented as well as professional and friendly. I'm pretty picky with my make-up and hair and was nervous about how it would turn out, but Kim did a fabulous job and it turned out better than I could have imagined. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and make-up as well and looked even more beautiful than they already are!

Korissa and another stylist (I think her name was Liz, but I can't remember) did my hair and all 8 of my bridesmaids' hair, and Korissa did my makeup. I think two other bridesmaids had their eye makeup done as well. Firstly, fake eyelashes are totally worth it. I was a little nervous about how much makeup Korissa put on me at first because I usually don't wear any, but it turned out to be the perfect amount for my wedding pictures. She told me to trust her, and she was right. I never had any doubts about the hair though. We all had our hair down, but different variations. I had mine pulled back a little bit on both sides. My sister had a deep side part and shiny Veronica Lake waves. Several of the girls had different French braids holding part of their hair back. All of it was beautiful. Also, all of our hair looked great all night.

Besides doing wonderful hair and makeup, making me feel flawless on my special day, Kim was able to cover up a horrific striped burn I had gotten just days before my wedding! I was horrified at the thought of this burn distracting from my dress and everything else I had put together for my big day, but Kim made it disappear!

I chose Vanity Salon for hair/makeup for myself and my bridal party due to the proximity of my wedding venue and all of the great reviews on The Knot. I was definitely not disappointed. Kristen did both my hair/makeup for my trial run as well as on my wedding day. I absolutely loved my hair and my makeup was flawless (I got the airbrush). I looked exactly as I had imagined looking on my big day and could not have been happier. All of the stylists were very pleasant and did not an excellent job on all of my girls. I definitely recommend this salon (and Kristen!)-you will not be disappointed!

Vanity Salon sent out two girls to come to my venue for hair and makeup.Little did they know my bridesmaids would all change their minds and not want just their hair but also airbrush makeup...they were able to get everything done and looked beautiful!!
I highly recommend getting airbrushed because it stays on so well and makes you look flawless! (Even after hours of dancing and sweating and tears!!)

These ladies really knew what they were doing. I am not a makeup person and I felt like a freak, but the photos turned out great. Very expensive, but if there is one time to go all out it is at your wedding. And they come to you.

I was so lucky to have Kim and Kristen at Vanity Salon do the hair and make-up for my entire wedding party. I was so impressed with what fabulous work they did and in such a short time. I never worried if everyone was going to be able to get their hair and make-up done in time before the ceremony. I felt so comfortable sitting in Kim’s chair while she worked her talent. Kim not only made everything turn out the way I was hoping, but because of her talent and great work, she was able to also make suggestions that I would have never thought of and turn it into something that looked better than I could have ever expected. So many people complemented me on how great my hair and makeup looked. Even for those people who did not make it to the wedding, but saw pictures, they were impressed with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Also, even after a July wedding with the hot sun and dancing, my hair and makeup withstood for the whole night. I am so happy I chose Kim and Kristen and would not recommended anyone but them and the staff at Vanity Salon if you want to feel beautiful, confident and relaxed on your wedding day!

There were two different girls to do hair for the bridal party. Half of the styles turned out beautifully, but the styles done by the owner both seemed to be pinned randomly and plastered to the back of the girls heads. Make up was done beautifully. We were almost charged double for the brides air brushed make up, but I overheard them talking and brought it to their attention.

My friend had gone to Vanity for her wedding day hair and make up and looked fabulous so I decided to make my appointment there. Kristen L. did my trial and day-of hair and make up. I told her what I had in mind and she totally rocked it! I loved my hair and make up...it could not have been more perfect! My bridesmaids also had their hair done and they all looked fabulous. I had a great experience with Vanity Salon and highly recommend it!
