I cannot recommend Wingate Spa & Salon enough! I booked their event suite on 11/16/24 for myself, my bridesmaids, flower girls, mother, and mother-in-law to get hair and makeup done for my wedding. The experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
The suite was spacious and beautifully set up, allowing my photographer to capture special moments while we all got ready. They provided mimosas, a cheese plate, and the most delicious scones, creating such a relaxed and fun environment.
A special thank you to Blair, who created the perfect hairstyle for my wedding day, and Jenny, who did my makeup flawlessly. Their skill and professionalism were outstanding, and they made me feel so confident and beautiful.
The entire team at Wingate was lovely, attentive, and made the day so special for all of us. I highly recommend Wingate Spa & Salon to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. Thank you for making my wedding day morning unforgettable!

Rachael became my favorite person to work with during this entire beauty process. Before getting married, I'd never been to a salon, got my hair highlighted or my makeup professionally done. I am SO happy I chose Wingate and had an amazing stylist. Rachael was not only professional but personal as well. I enjoy connecting with someone who shares similar interests as well as making each appointment enjoyable!! Rachael gave me the most amazing highlights in my curly brown hair for my wedding day and it made such a difference with the chosen hairstyle. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. She truly listened to my vision and made it 100 times better. I highly recommend Wingate and Rachael if you're looking to have the best time. I'm hoping to see them again real soon :)

Carissa and Jennifer are both so talented and easy to work with. They made my wedding visions come to life with hair and makeup. The salon has a private bridal studio where the bridal party can hang out with snacks and mimosas while everyone gets ready. I worked with Brandy and Tina to schedule appointments for 9 [bride/bridesmaids/moms]. Wingate had a team of stylists and makeup artists who made everyone look beautiful. We were in and out of the studio in two hours which was amazing! I wanted an easy, relaxing morning without spending the whole time doing hair and makeup and that's exactly what we got! I'm so glad that I chose Wingate Salon and Spa for my wedding and would highly recommend for your next event.

Hannah and Rachael from Wingate did my wedding hair and makeup (along with many bridesmaids and mothers) and I couldn’t have been happier. You hope that you feel your most beautiful self on your wedding day, and Hannah and Rachael did just that. My bridesmaids looked exceptional too! Moreover, Tina was so fantastic with booking everything and answering any questions I had along the way. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Truly fabulous. We all got ready in their salon and it was perfect. If you want a low-key more relaxing beginning of your wedding day this place knows how to make it happen. The space is large enough to feel comfortable with all your bridesmaid. Best start to my wedding day was at Wingate. As well, they are experts with both hair and makeup. I have curly hair and wanted to go natural and they knew exactly what to do. Highly recommend for hair and makeup on your wedding day!!

Rachael was absolutely fantastic. She executed my vision flawlessly! Not only was she fast (my hair took 30 minutes tops), but she is the absolute sweetest person. She listened, gave amazing recommendations and my bridesmaids and I looked fabulous for my wedding. Prices are reasonable and I cannot recommend her enough!

Such a great group of ladies and what a great way to start the wedding day. I had hair and makeup done, my mom had makeup done and I also got dressed in their bridal suite. Fabulous. Highly recommend.

I've been going to the Wingate for quite some time now and when I booked them for my wedding hair and makeup I knew they would do an amazing job! I was so pleased with how my look came out! Tony did an amazing job on my hair, it stayed in place for over 12 hours and I didn't have to touch it once! Tony is great! Meghan did a great job knowing just what to do for my makeup style, she was so nice to work with and was so patient. All the staff that helped with my bridesmaids hair and makeup was amazing too!

Our hair and makeup was perfection. I highly recommend the airbrush makeup and false lashes! Emily was amazing! We did have some communication hiccups along the way, but the end results were spectacular.

This salon is absolutely lovely. We had the Bridal party room reserved the morning of the wedding. I had my hair done and my sisters had their hair and make up done. My niece had her hair done as well. We had such a great time drinking mimosa's, eating scones and getting beautified!! They also do facials and massage there, but we unfortunately didn't have enough time. The Wingate books up pretty fast so make your appointment as soon as possible. I planned to pay for 4 hair styles/bridal blow outs, and 2 make up and I was concerned about how I was going to divide the tipping among all the different ladies. I was so elated when I found that the tip was already included in the total and I didn't have to think about it. It was a very hectic day and this helped alot.

My bridal party and I used the bridal salon at Wingate to prepare for my October wedding, and we were thrilled with the results. We had a lovely spread of cheese, crackers, fruit, crudite, tea, and water to munch on while we traded off getting our hair and makeup done. It was so nice to be able to relax together and have multiple people working on our party. I've been in other weddings where I've had to get up early and sit around with an updo for hours while waiting for everyone else to get their hair done. Thanks to Wingate's bridal team, we were able to arrive at 11am and leave by about 1:45 with everyone done.
Julie did a fabulous job on my makeup; it looked natural but also had the "wow" factor I wanted for my pictures.
Brianne did a wonderful job on my hair as well. At my trial, I was not as good about communicating what I wanted as I should have been, but after we talked it through we were able to make adjustments so that I ended up loving my hair on the big day.
Everyone at Wingate was so helpful and friendly, and it really helped to make our day go more smoothly and keep us all relaxed.
The prices were pretty standard; I couldn't quite bring myself to give 5 stars for that just because I think spa treatments are always expensive, but you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal at such a quality spa. I would highly recommend Wingate and would definitely go back.
