This was the absolute worse hair styling experience. The wedding party was so unhappy with how their hair turned out. The stylist was given pictures of styles and not a single one was even close to being matched. The hair and bobby pins were falling out of the hair instantly. The bride had to have her hair fixed several times within minutes of styling and throughout the event. The stylist worked from 9-3 without a single break. Definitely understaffed. Due to being understaffed some of the wedding party were late to getting pictures. Guests at the wedding even commented on how poor the hair quality looked. I am shocked that this place ever had a positive review. DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR ANYONE! read more

My mother's face broke out a few days before her first grandchild was to be married. She doesn't wear makeup and was actually thinking about not coming because she was afraid of embarrassing him with the way she looked. I called SEVERAL local stores, ALL booked with proms and weddings, when someone gave me Meghan's name and contact. Meghan came to my mother's house with only a days notice and made my mother feel BEAUTIFUL for the big day!! (I haven't seen eyebrows on my mom in years ) My mother's face actually started clearing up the next day, which my mom attributed to Meghan "the miracle worker", which she IS!! read more

Philanthropist and kind as can be Meghan spent her Sunday evening volunteering as our make up artist for a holiday photo shoot sponsored by the Boon Project, a group of young adult cancer survivors. She gave each one of us her time and undivided attention and the results were stunning. A true professional and embraces all the fine details needed to make you look photo ready. Looking back at a few of the photos, so glad we had this service as it made all the difference for many of us who've gone through harsh treatments and haven't gracefully aged as a result. Meghan is the best of the best in Charleston and the location of the salon is in the heart of the holy city. Thank you for your time and for hearing our stories. read more

Love love love. Incredible attentive staff, always super helpful and will help you choose the best product. Great variety of products that aren't available anywhere else in charleston. Don't waste your time at a big chain when you can shop local and get excellent service. And...they validate parking! Win. read more

Very cute store! They carry popular brands such as Too Faced, along with harder-to-find lines like Susan Posnick. This is a fun store to browse in or pick up a gift. read more

Was staying close by during a work trip and my eyebrows were WAY overdue for a waxing. After a bad threading several months back, I had been letting them grow and I was desperate for a shaping. I was able to have an appt with Deb and she was awesome!! She took the time to really look at my brows, how they grow and figure out how to clean them up. They have never been in better shape. Our appt went so well that after some conversation about my skin and some concerns I was having, I stayed for a facial and it was great. She was so knowledgeable about all of the natural and organic products and how they should be used. read more

I got my eyebrows done with Debbie. She did them to perfection!!!! Not too thin and matched my face perfectly and my overall style. Can't wait to go back again! read more

I wanted to write a well deserved update. I still LOVE seeing Heather every month for hair and wine :) I recently had the pleasure of getting a facial with Deb which was heavenly. What I most wanted to comment on was their customer service. I have never experienced anything but top notch service and it is greatly appreciated. read more

Debbie is fantastic!! She knows her products and her skin, she is incredibly kind and honest. I didn't feel like she was upselling me, I felt like she was just trying to help me and my skin. Great at brows as well! read more

I visited Pink Dot for the first time on yesterday just to pick up an eyeliner and lip liner and walked out there with so much more! I decided to get my lip, chin & brows waxed and it was amazing! Lisa is awesome! She is very knowledgeable about skin care. I also had a mini facial that was superb! What can I say about the owner, Meghan......she is such a sweet person! The store was beautiful and there were so many different products that you don't see everyday. Her products are wonderful. The location was great with parking in the rear. The ambiance was just so chic and relaxing!. You will love Meghan and her staff. I highly recommend Pink Dot. Thanks Meghan & Lisa! read more

Very impressed that a miscommunication in scheduling was handled. It is rare when a company is honest and makes things right. I highly recommend! They made sure my daughter was on time for prom pictures. read more

I came here as part of a bridal party and they did a superb job with all of our hair and makeup. For my makeup, I gave some direction as to what my preferences were and left the rest in her hands and when I looked at myself in the mirror, i was mind blown. I honestly could barely recognize myself; I couldn't believe I could actually look the way I did. It was a BEAUTIFUL look. I think it was appropriate for the wedding and it came through incredible in photos, which is not always easy. I was impressed and so appreciative! They hairdo was quick and easy curls throughout my hair. They held the ENTIRE night. Also, it didn't frizz, which was unbelievable. I was extremely impressed and satisfied. I would recommend them to anyone. They listen to what you want done and to their best at it and the salon has a personal and cheery vibe. read more

This hair salon has a really great atmosphere, while I was waiting I got a glass of white wine. Gigi- Heather got my haircut, she was amazing! Super nice, professional and most important- she really got me and what I was aiming for. Can't thank her enough. I'm really happy for this haircut+ experience. read more

Hidden gem! Debbie did the best job on my eyebrows. She actually talked to me about them and their shape and how they should look. Took her time and made sure I was pleased with the result. Definitely coming back! read more

Everyone at Pink Dot beauty bar is so talented and amazing! Debbie is fantastic at waxing and facials. She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Such a sweet spirit and will do whatever she can to make your experience the best! read more

I was so excited to check out this place after recently moving to the area. Being vegan it is hard to find quality cosmetics and they have many lines that are cruelty free and have vegan products. I specifically came in to find a lipstick queen color that worked for me since I have a terrible time with lip color. The sales person did not interact with me at all other than a hello, and yes or no answers. I was looking at the lipsticks and asked about trying on and he said sure, but no inquiry to helping me, or asking if I had questions. He did not engage me in the 20 mins I was in the store. Hearing them originally on the radio here I thought this would be a place I could get some serious help finding products that would work for me and my life style. This was a huge miss in the customer service area, and unless you know exactly what you need I would not recommend. read more

Very cute makeup boutique with a natural/organic bent. Staff was super friendly and helpful as I tried out every shade of Lipstick Queen imaginable (left with a tube of Saint Rose). Highly browsable. read more

I landed in Pink Dot with my wife, and figured I'd amuse myself during her shopping by playing with their resident dogs (one who's named Bob Barker). Yet I ended up a delighted customer myself after chatting with the friendly staffers, learning some things about skin care for guys, and taking home a product set for men--that surprisingly I've actually used and noticed a difference. Meanwhile, my lovely wife got a product I don't understand at all, but she says is terrific and she hadn't know about previously. It's a nice-looking store, friendly dogs, helpful staff, easy parking at the garage next door, win! read more

The women at pink dot keep me beautiful! I'd be lost without Jackie and Deb. They are so accommodating and do great work. I'll see them again next month. read more

Had a girls makeup party here and it was fantastic! Brought some wine and snacks and had a blast learning about makeup from the pros and getting dolled up at the same time. Demi was my makeup artist and he truly is an artist. Was so fabulous and helpful! I looked like a celebrity when he was done! I will def be back. Their products are also top of the line and Eco-friendly but still effective and glamorous. Best Girls Night ever! read more

Finally, a beauty boutique that's not intimidating or looks like an emergency room! The atmosphere at Pink Dot Beauty Bar is a warm, friendly and welcoming one. I felt at home the minute I walked in. The owner and her staff are icing on the cake. They went out of their way to assist me and the other customers that were present. This is a place that I don't mind spending my hard earned cash...and I can't say that about many other places. read more

I had my wedding at Sticky Fingers SMokehouse next door in the awesome banquet space they have called Hasell Hall. With Pink Dot just next door it was the easy answer for my hair and makeup. I was planning from San Diego and the process over the phone was very easy and organized. I trusted them based on their professionalism from the beginning. Day of they were friendly and I was thrilled with my makeup and Hair. I especially liked that i was able to pre pay tip and everything so that once I was there in the chair I didnt have to think about anything. I knew it was all taken care of in advance and I appreciated that I didnt need to think about it or even take a purse with me. Easy as could be. Great experience overall. Highly recommend. read more

Pink Dot is such an adorable place right in downtown. I did my trial about a month before the wedding and it turned out great. The makeup artist, Becca, did an AWESOME job and even made changes on the fly no problem when I asked her to lighten up my eyes a bit. She nailed it and replicated the same look the day of. Heather did my hair and did a fantastic job--she interpreted everything I had described to her --including hiding my ears since I am self-conscious about them --even though I didn't have very fine/thin hair. She was fantastic and did it in a short amount of time. I would recommend these ladies for their expertise. The only complaint I have is regarding the schedule changes that occurred right before my wedding. My hairstylist was to do both of my sister's hair. About 3 days before the wedding, my timeline showed a change in the schedule where the make-up artist would be doing both of their hair AFTER my makeup instead of during. The salon confirmed the last-minute changes but assured it wouldn't take long since it was a "Simple-Do" and shouldn't take long. On the day of, my hair was done in 20 min (awesome) and then makeup took an hour. Although the makeup artist is very gifted in that department, hair was not something she did every day in the salon. We were delayed getting to the venue and were rushed- one sister had hair revamped and the other I had to redo at the venue. I barely had time to eat unpack decorations before my husband arrived and relegated to my suite I feel this is a reflection of the management/ coordination rather than the artists themselves--they did fantastic at what they are at the salon doing day-in and day-out. My constructive criticisms would be to clearly communicate any changes in advance to the bride and be honest about those changes. Though they were accommodating up until the wedding, I cannot help but feel "less-than" on my day because my day, booked well in advanced- was trumped by an on-location wedding. read more

This is one amazing place that I always stop at when I visit Charleston. They have a great selection of lipsticks and other fun beauty products. I was in this past week and was lucky to have Demi help me. Everyone in the store is very helpful and make you feel welcome. Demi is super nice and attentive and picked out make up for me including some powder brow color (just love this instead of pencil!) and Ellis Faas lip glaze L306 which I've been receiving so many compliments on. Thank you Demi!! I do want to caution on the return policy which states all sales are final. I have returned make up at department stores due to defects and once for an allergic reaction. I've never had a problem with any of the wonderful products from Pink Dot but it may help to ask if they would honor returns in case of any defective product. read more

Came here as part of a wedding party for our hair. Only two out of the 8 of us were satisfied with our hair. The hair was sloppy, and not what anyone asked for. The curls were that of an amateur, and the tease job to create volume looked like a disgusting rats nest. It was overpriced,especially since the hair was not quality. Also, the stylist Heather was SUPER unprofessional AMD rude I wouldn't recommended her to anyone. I usually do my own hair for events, I only had it done to save time and stress on myself, looking back I totally wish I had done it myself, it would have been 100 times better, and would have stayed longer. My everyday simple styled hair looks way better than my $80 crack job that I had down there. Gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the place was super cute and the staff and owner working on the first floor were great. I didn't have my makeup done, but looking it other people that were there, they seemed to be MUCH better makeup artists than hair stylists. read more

I had the most fabulous facial from Deb Stoker at the Pink Dot Beauty Bar. I have very dry skin and my skin felt rehydrated when the facial was done. Highly recommend. Everyone is very friendly and they have an extensive range of products. read more

Loved Demi made me feel like a million dollars. Helped my daughter pick up colors also. Gave me 7 minute makeover and was fantastic. He was not pushy and did not rush us. Thank you read more

It was my first time seeing Debbie and she took her time explaining the process of identifying your eyebrow shape. She was very warm and friendly, making sure I was happy with her work! Will highly recommend to friends! read more

Debbie is the absolute best! I've been getting my brows and facials done by her for over five years and I've never been disappointed with my results (not even once!) Her room at the shop is always the cleanest and most comfortable esthetician room and I always feel right at home. If there's anyone I'd recommend for all your facial, waxing, and spa needs I'm always going to recommend Debbie at Pink Dot. Only the very best! read more

Pink Dot is my go-to when I need anything beauty related. I am definitely a make-up kind of girl and when I go in to get something they give me great instruction on when products to use and buy and give me great advice. Though I always spend more money than I intend to, I know that I am buying quality products and that they arent just trying to sell me anything that they can. I recommend all of my friends to go there when they need anything because I trust them infinitely with my skincare and beauty products. The staff is incredibly friendly, fun, and educated. You may even dance a little in your seat while getting your make-up done. They make you feel like you belong in the store like a second home and arent just a guest in their world. Looking forward to many trips back! read more

I have to say, what a let down. I am a local in Charleston and have been wanting to get into this adorable shop for a while. Having my mom in town for a visit seemed like the perfect opportunity. We walked in, and there was one employee and 1 customer trying on lipsticks. The employee did not acknowledge our presence. We walked around several times and I waited for the woman to ask if we needed anything (I was looking for a facial mask) and nothing. My mom walked around one more time and when she crossed in front of the employee the woman actually said "excuse me" and not in a polite fashion. What a let down, they seem to only want a certain type of customer. read more

I'll start off by saying this is one of the cutest salons I've ever been to! I go there mainly to get my eyebrows done by Debbie, who I adore. She has talent and she's very personable! I highly recommend her if you need some eyebrow work done or even a facial! read more

I came in to Pink Dot for the first time the other day to see Debbie for a brow wax and shaping. I've been seeing Debbie for many many years (at another spa) and can honestly tell you she is Charleston's eyebrow queen! When I lived elsewhere for several years I actually would grow out my brows before each planned trip back to Charleston just so I could get a nice brow shaping from Debbie. Seriously, she is that good! On another note, this place is super cute and beautifully styled, and I want to come back when I have more time to explore all the fun products on the first floor. They appear to carry a lot of products that are hard to find elsewhere like Sachajuan, one of my favorite hair product lines from Sweden. I definitely will be a regular for my usual brow upkeep. And it seems like a perfect recommendation for my sister getting married in Charleston next summer for a place to get the bridal party ready. They have a cute space upstairs for that. read more

Pink dot is the best. Debbbie( goddess of all things esthetics and spray tan) has ensured I have the perfect Sunkissed glow for every big event the last three years including my sisters wedding. The color is always even and she is so open and easy to convey your preferences to! I am very fair and I always come out looking natural! She works with my crazy schedule and stays let when it is hard to get downtown before 5pm. Love her blue/black lash tint on my light skin and brown eyes really makes the white pop. Highly recommend if you want great service and prices in a charming and historic feeling environment. A must for your beauty needs in Charleston! read more

Make-up shopping the way it's meant to be, fun and relaxed! I have felt intimidated in the past by beauty boutiques but the first time I went in Pink Dot the staff was very welcoming and helpful. I have gone in several times since and have felt very comfortable to try out products whether I'm purchasing something or just browsing. For me, it's a better experience than I've had at other Charleston boutiques or chain retailers. I'm a pretty casual jeans, t-shirts and chapstick kind of girl, but Pink Dot is my new go-to place for fun, high quality, weekend make-up. For us locals, they also participate in and host beauty events! read more

I learned about Pink Dot through a Living Social deal for trial bridal makeup. Since I am not a make-up person, I was really nervous about having it done and thought taking advantage of a discount would be a good way to try it out in time for our engagement photo shoot. I met with Becca who was absolutely wonderful! She was so easy to talk to and I felt really comfortable with everything she did - it was neither too much nor too little. I also love that they use mostly (if not all) organic products. Alex, the bridal coordinator, has been so attentive and responsive as I've been managing my day-of makeup application (I chose traditional with demi lashes and am having them come on-site). In fact, they've been so great that when I found out they added hair styling to their list of services I requested it right away! I highly recommend them for anything you may need - from daily skin care to your big day makeover! read more

The first thing that really stood out to me (and brought me into the store in the first place) is how Pinterest Perfect everything looked inside! If I were getting married, I would want my bridal party to get ready here! Not only is it adorable, it seems to be a one stop beauty shop. Make up, hair, eyebrows, spray tan, teeth whitening, organic skincare... plus... there was wine. That's always a plus. The staff was very friendly and knowledable. The owner took the time to really explain all of the new products and show me around, which I appreciated. I'm a litte overwhelmed sometimes walking into these new places and being swarmed by sales people, but nobody felt pushy or hovered. (That's the quickest way to scare me away!) It was a nice shopping experience. Maybe it's a Southern thing, but something that stood out to me is how personable and sincere everyone seemed there. :) As far as services, I did the 15 minute teeth whitening session. It was a little pricey ($99... but I don't have anything to compare that to.) but to me, it was totally worth the results. The process of stretching my tiny mouth open for that long was mildly discomforting, but the lady was so sweet while I drooled on myself and tried to enunciate without the use of my lips haha There's a before and after color scale, and I went from a 20 to an 8 which is pretty awesome. I'm very pleased and will definitely come back for the service in the future, as well as try out what else they have to offer. Thanks girls! - Jessica read more
