My experience with Vanity has only been good. I enjoyed working with these very talented and kind women so much that I had my best friend use them for her wedding as well! They are...
professional yet easy going and make you feel absolutely stunning. With both of my experiences with them they did a great job listening to each girl and taking in what they wanted to have done for hair and makeup appropriately adjusting technique with each. I am very picky when it comes to both my hair and makeup but Leslie and Destiny both did a fabulous job creating exactly what I pictured! I also tend to have acne prone oily skin and I was quite concerned especially for my own wedding that I would have a tough time with the makeup but it held all day through sweat and tears. Both of my hair styles stayed the entire day as well which is quite impressive since I love to dance! I have nothing but good things to say about this company and the work they do. I highly recommend
Girls were amazing and so professional! I loved my experience with vanity and will be recommending everyone to use them!
Had this vendor this fall season for my wedding and the girls were amazing! They were very detailed in their work and made my morning feel so smooth. I love the relationship I crea...
ted with them and will be recommending them to everyone!
The girls at vanity that did my wedding were amazing. Super accommodating to the fact that I don’t usually wear makeup and just wanted something a bit more natural but still glam f...
or my wedding. Hair was perfect, my hair stayed the whole night! 10/10 would recommend them for your wedding
If I could give this place zero stars, I would.
My best friend got married two weeks ago, and the hair and makeup experience was nothing short of a disaster. While the bride’s own...
look was great, the bridesmaids were left with sloppy, rushed work that almost all of us had to redo ourselves.
At her first trial, the bride saw the owner and everything seemed professional but for her second trial and wedding day, she was handed off to an unqualified team. One of the makeup artists was literally still in cosmetology school, frustrated because no one wanted to sit with her, and all she brought was drugstore products. Affordable makeup is fine when it’s applied well, but not when it’s paired with zero technique. None of the bridesmaids’ makeup was set with powder, no contour, no blush-just flat faces that looked unfinished and slid off before photos even began.
The hair wasn’t any better. We were each scheduled for 45 minute slots, yet most of us were rushed out in eight minutes. And it showed… uneven, flat styles that fell apart almost instantly. Instead of relaxing with the bride, bridesmaids were huddled in hotel mirrors fixing each other’s hair and makeup.
To make it worse, when the bride voiced her very valid concerns, the business offered no compensation, no accountability, and basically gaslit her negating her entire experience and making her feel like a liar. Now, instead of owning their mistakes, they’re clearly having personal friends flood their page with five star reviews to bury the truth.
Brides deserve better. This was misleading, unprofessional, and disrespectful from start to finish. On the most important day of her life, my friend was stressed out and let down. Don’t let it happen to you.
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing hair and makeup services by Destini and her crew and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the moment I walked into the sal...
on, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease.
Destini took the time to understand my preferences and vision for the day. Her expertise was evident as she skillfully transformed my look, enhancing my features while ensuring I felt comfortable and confident. The attention to detail was remarkable; every brushstroke and hairpin was applied with precision.
Great people!! Recommend 💯
The makeup was flawless—perfectly matched to my skin tone and designed to last.
What I appreciated most was Leslie’s professionalism and passion for their craft. They shared helpful tips for maintaining the look and recommended products that suited my needs. It was clear that they genuinely cared about making me feel special.
Overall, I highly recommend Vanity Salon for anyone seeking exceptional hair and makeup services. Whether it's for a special occasion or just a day when you want to feel fabulous, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait for my next appointment!
Not good—would not recommend. Out of four girls, only one was good. The rest seemed disengaged, almost like they weren’t even awake when they arrived. Each person was scheduled a 4...
5-minute block for hair and makeup, yet the longest time spent on anyone was around 8 minutes, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Personally, I had to get my hair redone twice and my makeup redone three times, only to end up with a bridesmaid fixing my hair and myself doing my own makeup. The makeup artist in particular was extremely unprofessional—rolling her eyes when asked to make adjustments, slamming her brushes down, chewing gum in my face, and even rapping along to songs while working in my face.
For such an important day, this level of service was beyond disappointing and completely unprofessional.
I would not recommend this vendor for bridal hair and makeup. Unfortunately, the entire experience was very disappointing. The makeup was poorly done—uneven, unflattering, and did ...
not last through the event. My hair was barely held together and started falling apart within just a short time. To make things worse, my skin has been breaking out badly ever since, which makes me question the quality and cleanliness of the products used. For such an important day, I expected professionalism and lasting results, but this was the opposite. Definitely not worth the stress or money. The team was unprofessional, it made for a stressful morning.
Unprofessional. Hair fell within 20minutes of getting it done, barely any products were used to hold the style. The ladies who did our makeup barely used any product, to the point ...
we had to use our own products and redo our makeup. Very sad about this experience. The bride is supposed to have an easy morning, instead she was stressed about the terrible hair and makeup of her bridesmaids.
Was a bridesmaid that was forced to use this vendor and I don’t recommend to anyone. The bride did a makeup trial with one person…. Yet last minute someone else was sent the day of...
the wedding. First red flag. After the first makeup was finished, the rest of us were actually avoiding going to this specific “makeup artist.” We were in absolute shock from the results. This “artist” almost seemed like she was a friend that was asked if she was free that morning and was willing to try makeup for the first time because there is no way she should be considered a PROFESSIONAL BRIDAL makeup artist. The other artist was a tad better but we had to literally walk through step by step exact details of how to do everything. After multiple times of saying “more… more….Darker….. darker,” finally I left the chair with a BASE I could semi work with so that I could go literally finish my face on my own. Even after, we still sat in the other room completely redoing EVERYONES entire face. I asked for full glam, full coverage… I left that chair with the bare minimum and a face I would wear as my everyday natural makeup. The hair people were no better. After one girl got up from the chair, 20 minutes later someone genuinely asked “when is it your turn to get your hair done?” We had to call in an aunt who was there for the wedding who is a hair dresser herself and another friend that does hair and again, we sat in the other room COMPLETELY redoing everyone’s hair. People that were not even a part of the wedding party and should have been spending the time of their own to prepare for the day… had to come help SAVE this disaster of a morning. I would not recommend this vendor to anyone. It’s a sin you consider yourself a professional and capable of providing services for a WEDDING DAY. What should be the most important day for a woman…. And to have her stressed and upset? Shame on you. If I could give zero stars I would. And the fact that the bride reached out and you didn’t offer any type of resolution and weren’t apologetic at all? Absolute joke of an establishment. Best of luck in your future… you’ll need it.
I had Vanity Studio and Salon do my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with my bridesmaids, and they did an amazing job on everyone! The whole team was so professional, friendly...
, and really listened to what we wanted. My hair and makeup turned out absolutely perfect and stayed flawless all day, and my bridesmaids all looked stunning too. They made the getting ready process fun and stress free, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’m so grateful to them for helping us all feel so beautiful on such an important day. Highly recommend!
I received a different make up & hair stylist from the original trial. I had a large bridal party and at least half of them had to be redone by my own bridesmaids and myself as the...
bride. It was a stressful experience and make sure you get clear communication on who will actually be doing the bridal party’s hair and make up because apparently they hire inexperienced technicians and send them out to you on the most important day of your life. Also, the own owner (who did my 1st trial) couldn’t step up with my large bridal party I had and sent a student from cosmetology school instead. Such a disaster and it’s a shame that’s how they run their business.
The entire Bridal Team was excellent in helping to make my wedding day so special. Listened to my concerns and came up with a solution to resolve to make this the most magical day ...
of my life. I highly recommend them for your special day.
I had an incredible experience! From the moment I sat down, the stylist truly listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life. My hair looked absolutely stunning — full of ...
volume, healthy, and styled to perfection. The makeup artist was equally amazing, creating a flawless, glowing look that lasted all day and night. Every product felt high quality, and they paid close attention to details like blending and matching my skin tone perfectly. I left feeling more confident and beautiful than ever. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch hair and makeup services!
