Working with Wild Roots Salon and Spa for my daughter's wedding in June 2026 was a great experience! Hannah and Chris did an amazing job on the hair and makeup! They were very personable and professional and helped our special day go smoothly. We all looked amazing! Paula was great with communication, as well! I highly recommend Wild Roots Salon and Spa!

I booked Wild Roots for hair and makeup at my wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made! At the trial, Hannah and Chris listened to what I wanted and were able to make tweaks on the actual wedding day to make me feel super confident. The were extremely flexible with making the timeline work. All of my bridesmaids were so happy with how their hair and makeup looked and it was the only wedding I was a part of where bridesmaids were not fixing their hair and makeup after the artists left. They all felt they were listened to and the make up was individualized to compliment everyone's different features.
Hannah, Chris, and Paula (who I communicated with) were professional, caring, and laid-back. It made for a very stress-free morning of getting ready and I would 100% recommend them to other brides.

Wild Roots Salon & Spa is a wedding beauty practice based in Merrimack, NH. Making nearlyweds' dreams come true, this talented team of hair stylists, makeup artists, nail technicians, and more will be by your side.
Co-owner and wedding coordinator Paula will be your liaison throughout the experience. You can begin by getting in touch with her and discussing all the details, from vision to wedding party size. Wild Roots Salon & Spa will travel all around New England, beautifying stunning spouses-to-be. Those saying "I do" outside the region may still be in luck, as the team will do their very best to accommodate your destination celebration.
Before your big day, the Wild Roots Salon & Spa experience starts with trials for hair and makeup. Here, you can discuss your ideas and try out the look you have been envisioning, so on the day, you feel confident as you sit in the beauty chair that everything will be flawless. You can also indulge in their other services, like a signature facial, manicure, pedicure, and lash lift and tint, so you feel like you're glowing. On the wedding morning, your glam squad will meet you and your "I do" crew and make everyone radiate from within before they hit the aisle. They can also stay longer for touch-ups if you wish.

Hannah did my wedding day hair, and Chris did my wedding day makeup. I couldn't be happier with how everything came together!
I did a trial for both my hair and makeup a few month...
s before the wedding. On the wedding day, we completely pivoted the plan for my hair, and it turned out perfectly. I also had a few specific changes and tweaks I wanted for my makeup, and Chris absolutely understood the assignment.
I was so nervous going into my wedding because I kept going back and forth on how I wanted to wear my hair and do my makeup. In the end, I was absolutely thrilled with the final look. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 10/10!!

was seeking a minimalist approach I was leery but she made me look stunning. My husband is now asking me to have my hair ‘like that’ regularly (which means I may be a frequent customer)! 😂Not only did I leave beautiful but my cup was full- she was so attentive to me and my daughters needs and we truly enjoyed our time with her. If you are looking for the perfect look and a relaxing day run to Wild roots!

lan, including a week before the wedding, and she was always kind, helpful, and repsonded quickly to all of my questions and requests. Hannah did my hair and my bridesmaids hair and makeup. She was so friendly and recreated exactly what I wanted. I have very fine and uncooperative hair that I have never been able to style, but she made it look amazing and it stayed in place all night! Hannah was willing to travel to come to us, she was right on time, and got everyones hair and makeup done and looking amazing in record time. Hannah and Paula were both such a pleasure to work with and even made me a nice gift bag! Thank you both so much!

I won’t lie, I was (more than) a little nervous when I found out that the salon I had hired for my wedding was being sold and would be transitioning to a new name and new ownership...
only about 2 months before my wedding. But once the day came and went, I realized I had worried for no reason. Hannah, along with the rest of the day-of team, was prompt and efficient getting everybody (all 11 of us!!) glammed up—even when we realized that one of my bridesmaids had been missed on the schedule (which was a miss on the previous coordinator’s part). Our hair and makeup looked beautiful and everyone’s makeup struck the balance of looking natural but being enough to not look washed out in photos. Paula, the wedding coordinator, was also well organized and quick with communication. My only regret about them is that I wish I could have been working with Wild Roots from the beginning of my wedding planning journey! Thanks for everything!!

Wild Roots was the best! I am so glad I chose them to do my wedding hair and makeup. The bridal team made the morning go so smoothly and they were so fun to chat with. The morning ...
"getting ready" process was one of my favorite parts of the whole day and they had a big impact on that. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. I don't typically wear any makeup at all, so it was important that I looked like myself - and I totally did, just a slightly more glammed up version! My mother, mother in law, and best friend also agreed and loved how their hair and makeup experience went too. I loved my experience with Wild Roots so much that I went to the salon a few months later to get my hair cut and dyed! Highly recommend!

you were pleased. It's great seeing you come into the salon as well. We love that you've become part of the Wild Roots family.
