Coming from NYC, when my husband and I started planning our Buffalo wedding, I relied heavily on social media to find a hair stylist/make up artist for my bridal look and also my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. I've had my make up done for a friend's wedding once and I hated how I didn't look myself, it was way too glammed up. Looking at Salon Elizabeth's Instagram account their style of makeup is very minimal, using make up to highlight everyone's best features. I communicated trials and other bookings directly with Elizabeth via email, and it couldn't have been easier! I scheduled my trial makeup/hair with Mallory and absolutely LOVED my look. I brought a couple of inspo pics and she was able to replicate with ease. For my wedding day, I chose to get ready at the salon since the interior was absolutely beautiful, you got nice comfy chairs to get beautified in, and it's much more spacious than a hotel room! After I got my hair and make up done, Mallory provided me a cute to-go bag with oil blotting sheets, hairspray, and a bit of the lipstick color she used on me. I'm a crier so I asked if the makeup will hold - Mallory said all the mascara/eyeliner are waterproof and the setting spray she uses are what synchronized swimmers use. As expected, I bawled during my ceremony and can confirm my make up did not budge one bit. Thank you to the Salon Elizabeth team!! read more

While the service I received was ok, the experience was anything but. If you don't enjoy hearing your sylist and another client speaking negatively about people like yourself and (insert racial reference), a rinse that cycles from very cold to very hot water, and an apology excusing the behavior from the owner, then find somewhere else to spend your money. ​ read more

Best cut I've had in over 5 years! Emily was great! I immediately set up an appointment for my daughter. (PS Her hair looks great too!)

Thank you to Liz and her team at Salon Elizabeth for making me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful! Everyone LOVED their hair and makeup! If anyone needs a wedding day glam team book Salon Elizabeth! read more

I could not have asked for more! Lizzy did my hair and makeup for my Sunday wedding (even though she's closed on Sunday) and it was absolutely amazing. In the lead up to the wedding she was quick with communication and so kind- I'm always worried that hair and makeup people are going to judge me because it's not my thing, but it seems like there is not an ounce of judgment in her body! I don't live in Buffalo, so I decided not to do a trial. So many people told me this was a horrible idea, and maybe it would be with some MUA's, but not Lizzy. She took exactly what I asked for and offered suggestions to make it even better. She didn't bat an eye when I said I didn't want to wear any lip color and what she did to my hair was beyond even my Pinterest dreams. If you are thinking about booking Lizzy, stop hesitating and just do it! read more

Liz and team are amazing! Laura and Jodi came on-site for our wedding at Rosebud Estates in Arcade, NY this past October. Both girls were super personable and friendly. They were very helpful during the makeup trial at the salon (which is also incredible!). My biggest concern was not looking like a porcelain doll on my wedding day. I've had trouble int he past with my Asian heritage having professional makeup that made me look like this. Both Elizabeth and Laura put my fears at ease and did an amazing job. Everything was perfect, both hair and makeup. Salon Elizabeth is definitely higher in terms of pricing (especially on-site), but worth every penny. I would highly recommend Salon Elizabeth to other bridal parties. They are professional, friendly, and easy to work with. Thanks again! read more

Salon Elizabeth is fantastic to work with! Would love to give them even more stars because they deserve it. Had my bridal party, flower girl, mom, and mother in law all get ready there. We used the salon itself and enjoyed the space they had to offer. We got there a little big early, but they didn't mind and just let us set up in the bridal suite after that we started getting ready for the day. I personally got to work with Liz she was amazing and so sweet. She did both my hair and makeup, the bridesmaids worked with a couple of the other girls who did an amazing job on all of their different hair styles. This is a perfect salon for getting ready for the day of your wedding they do it all and it is beautiful if you want to have your photographer come and take pictures of you getting ready.

I'm not sure if "WOW" can even cover it! I am so grateful to Salon Elizabeth for getting me ready for my wedding this past September. Not only did they do an incredible job, but their commitment to your vision is unparalleled. I had never heard of Salon Elizabeth until I went to a bridal "trunk show" at Hotel Henry, but when I saw all of the Buffalo Spree awards Salon Elizabeth had received over the years, I knew I had to check them out (they also came highly recommended by my wedding planner). Lizzy, the owner, was so sweet and accommodating in all of our email correspondence - she managed to squeeze in both makeup AND hair trials for my maid of honor, my mom, and I during their busiest season (my maid of honor lives out of town so this was extremely appreciated). It put my mind at ease to do a trial run, but I definitely could've just gone in the day of and trusted Salon Elizabeth to capture what I wanted to a tee! Jodi, who did my trial run and day-of hair, is a very talented hair stylist (and also so sweet, as is the norm at Salon Elizabeth) and captured exactly what I wanted for my special day. It was very "me," and I couldn't be more thankful. I really liked that she suggested certain things to do (during the trial, she suggested placing some flowers in my hair - I ended up doing this for my wedding and it looked amazing). Lizzy as well is a very talented makeup artist. I don't typically wear much makeup, so I consulted with Lizzy and told her I was a little worried that having my makeup done would make me look crazy (I've seen some scary wedding makeup). She definitely listened, understood exactly what I meant, and gave me just a very fresh, natural, slightly "glowed up" look. My now husband told me that the day of, he was so happy that I looked like myself (as was I, haha). Lizzy, Jodi and the rest of the Salon Elizabeth ladies came out to Knox Farm on my wedding day to do 5 makeups and 6 hairs for my bridal party. It was a HOT DAY but wow, they worked so hard and did a heck of an amazing job on us. Everyone was so happy with how everything turned out, including me! I HIGHLY recommend Salon Elizabeth! Thank you Lizzy, Jodi, and the rest of the Salon Elizabeth ladies for making me feel my best on my special day :) (Should I also mention that I could live at their salon? It is GORGEOUS.) read more

I went here for a pedicure and the atmosphere was great and everyone was so nice! the decor was amazing too!

Liz and Jody are terrific. Both do excellent hairstyling, and Jody is also great with manicures and pedicures. Recommend both highly for wedding preparations and everyday styling. Worth the drive to Elma. Beautiful salon. read more

Elizabeth and her team are phenomenal! They did my rehearsal/wedding day hair and makeup, as well as my bridal party (12 services total) - everything turned out so beautifully! I attached a photo of the "Viking/Game of Thrones" braid I requested for my rehearsal, my wedding updo, and my wedding makeup. What really blew me away is not only her talent, but also the amazing environment she has created for her clients. Glamorous furniture, cozy patio with a secret garden (with flowers she will put in your hair by request!), tons of natural light, and a bridal suite to-die-for. My bridal party and I had such a great time relaxing there and enjoying all of the beautiful touches. I cannot wait to get my photos back so I can relive this experience again! read more

I went to Salon Elizabeth in Elma (less than a minute off the 400) for my bridal trial and her entire team came out to the Hotel Lafayette to take care of me, 5 bridesmaids, 3 mom's/aunts, and 2 flower girls. First of all, stepping into Salon Elizabeth is such a treat. So much natural light and views of nature and the entire ambiance is so feminine and boutique. Lizzy is just the nicest and down to earth person and really listened to my vision about how I wanted to look on my special day- she has the talent to make it reality. Plus she helped me take a ton of pics on my phone after my trial- she is so fun. The team she brought with her the day of my wedding, Jo and Laurie, were simply rockstars. They handled trendier looks, more traditional styles for the mom's, glamorous and natural by request. We can't say enough about how accommodating, organized, and talented they are- not to mention, incredibly prepared with all the equipment and supplies they need off-site from the salon. I can't wait to be back in Buffalo to visit them again as a returning customer. read more
