Kelley is the best hair girl ever! I showed her my inspo pic and my dress at my first appointment before my bridal portraits and she absolutely delivered. She was such a joy to sit and talk with too, it was like we weren't even strangers and had been friends since childhood. She made me feel so comfortable the whole time and I cannot say enough great things about her! I will definitely be coming back to her for more help with future portraits! Also - my hair stayed all through dancing on the dance floor plus going out on Rainey after! (I even went down the slide at Unbarlievable and nothing fell ) my husband was incredibly impressed by the end of the night that it was still nearly perfect when he had to take all the Bobby pins out of my hair LOL Rhea!! She is the BEST. I'm not a make up guru or glam girl by any means and I've always struggled as a bridesmaid in past weddings bc I ask for a neutral look and it never turns out how I want or like. I'm a bare minimum make up girly, so I don't enjoy feeling cakey with a full face of makeup. Let me tell you - I asked for a neutral look that would still make me feel like a beautiful and she did amazing! I felt like I was glowing all day and night and I got so many compliments! Thank you to this amazing human that is so talented and helped make me feel like the most beautiful person in the room I'm not kidding when I say that I've had multiple people ask me who my hair and make up team was because they want to use them in the future. I'm a bridesmaid in an Indian wedding in September and will be working with these ladies again BOOK THEM IN ADVANCE!! They are way too good and will be booked if you wait too long!

I have never been complimented before by so many people on my hair and makeup, not only by people at the wedding, but also by friends seeing pictures and by total strangers at the venue for the reception! Highly recommend them. They are consummate professionals, taking with good grace the requests for last minute requests for their services. Several days before the wedding I got lost looking for the salon to have eyelash extensions and the woman who did them came to pick me up! When does that ever happen? Really terrific salon.

This team brought…read moreincredible energy to our getting-ready day- they were professional, warm, and fun to be around. Every woman in our bridal party felt and looked absolutely beautiful. They were also incredibly flexible when our scheduling got a little chaotic. Not once did they make us feel stressed- they simply adapted and kept everything moving with grace. As for my hair, I asked for a teased, bohemian braid, and my stylist not only nailed the vision but personally threaded tiny flowers throughout. I was not prepared for how magical it would make me feel. That level of thoughtfulness and artistry is rare, and I will never forget seeing it for the first time in the mirror. If you are looking for a team that will make you look stunning AND make the experience genuinely fun, look no further! Highly, highly recommend.

I have mixed feelings about my experience. Bottom line: My braid worked well and held my veil as I…read morewanted and my makeup lasted all night, but I am editing my photos to hide some obvious issues with my look. My hair did not hold a curl, black bobby pins on blonde hair stood out in photos, my bronzer looked extremely severe, and I compromised my desired eye look to fit the artists skills. Photos attached: please read captions for details. I did have a somewhat confusing experience with Adrienn herself when it came to organizing my hair and makeup trial. I scheduled it for the day I had bridal portraits. She gave me the address of the salon in Lakeway and sent a calendar invite. Then about a week before the appointment, I got a message from Adrienn that the appointment would not be in Lakeway as I was told but that the artists would come to me. I clarified this and she stated that the company is a mobile team and they always travel to their clients. I'm not sure how this could have gotten messed up considering I was communicating with the owner. For the services themselves, I also have mixed feelings. For hair I was assigned Kourtney. She was so sweet and easy to talk to, and she understood what I wanted. I wanted my hair wavy with one braid on the side that would stop at the back of my head for support with the veil. My hair has no texture and the veil would need something to grip to. She was able to braid my hair into my scalp at the back, hidden underneath loose hair, which served my intentions without compromising appearance. The waves looked great when she left. Unfortunately they didn't stay that way. My hair was barely wavy after a few hours. I know she is not a miracle worker, but I did explain that my hair holds shape better when it is "kinked" rather than "curled" and explained how I do it. I couldn't see how she did my hair so I'm not sure of her methods. All I can say is I did try to prepare her for how my hair works best. On the wedding day, she pinned my hair in curls 2 hours before she finished the styling to help them to last, but I ended up bringing my curling wand and used it after the ceremony because the same thing happened as with the bridal portraits. I'm glad I was prepared but unfortunately I'm trying not to hate how I looked in the pictures. I really did love the braid and how my veil was supported with it, I just don't know how the curls could be so bad. Another thing I didn't realize until the end of the day is that she used black bobby pins in my blonde hair. Once I got the photos, I realized they were completely visible the entire time. They are in every photo of my left side. I'm going in and editing them out where I can, but there's nothing I can do about the videos. For makeup, I was assigned Michal. She was very easy to talk to and when I explained things about how I want things to look it felt like she understood me. I had a photo of a dramatic eye look with dark brown shadow, but Michal was not able to achieve anything close to the picture. I do understand makeup and asked for a look I know I would like and can do myself. The darkest shades she was choosing were still several shades too light. She also did a shimmer look when I had a completely matte inspo look. I had her fix it as much as I could communicate, but after having her make several adjustments to the eye shadow, I gave up and ended up fixing it myself after she left. I wasn't able to get it the way I wanted it to look without removing makeup and I didn't have time for that, but I got it to look better than the very flat and dull appearance it was before. (Please see photos/captions.) She applied mascara after lashes and they were horribly clumpy. I also didn't like the lip shape even after I asked her to adjust it. On the wedding day, I changed my request to fit what I felt she could do. The eye look was a lot better, even though it wasn't what I had envisioned it was at least a good look. I ended up doing my own lashes and lipstick. However now that I have the photos, I am absolutely horrified by the contour on my cheeks. It is so dark and looks like an orange stripe on my face. I am honestly so embarrassed that it looked like that all day. I couldn't tell how bad it was from looking in the mirror, but all of the images of my side profile reveal a very questionable choice in bronzer color. We even talked about how I am very fair and I only use very cool toned contour. I ended up editing the best pictures and softening up the color on my cheeks because I actually hate it. It didn't look like this in the bridal portraits. I don't know what changed! I can say at least that my makeup lasted all night and did not get oily or smudge, so Michal was able to do something for me that I haven't been able to do myself and show me that my oily face is something I can control. I'm just so conflicted. The artists were both so sweet and nice and seemed so competent from discussion with them, but the result disappointed me.

Unedited, wedding day directly after ceremony. Please note the contour and the bobby pins behind my ear.

I posted a facebook post asking friends for referrals and 2 friends mentioned Pearl. I looked at pictures from the 2 people I knew who referred Pearl and instantly knew these people were good. One of the most stressful things on a wedding day is "will I like my hair and makeup". I was trying to save some money by not doing a trial run - and felt zero pressure to do so from Pearl - but was a bit nervous if my final result would end up the way I hoped. Well, I had nothing to worry about - both Maris (my makeup stylist) and Jeni Brady (my hair stylist) made me feel BEAUTIFUL on my Wedding Day. I could not have been happier! They came on site to our hotel and did my Bridesmaids and I hair and makeup and everyone was happy. I highly recommend these artists - thank you to you both for making me feel so great on my Wedding Day!

And she was really friendly and offered a lot of suggestions for things to do while I was visiting Austin. The salon is clean and chic. It seems like they do a lot of wedding hair and makeup, and I can see why. It is a professional environment with high-class stylists. The prices were a little high, but since I only get my haircut a few times per year it's totally worth it to me, especially with the friendly and kind treatment I received.
