Thank God for Anna!! It's always difficult to change hairdressers, almost traumatic for some women. I attended the Christmas open house at Salon Tryst, won a gift basket..whooooo! I returned to have a free consult with Anna. My hair was in a transition growing out and she helped me figure that out. I hadn't had color for a while and she suggested a subtle shade to begin with and I'm glad we did, instead of a drastic change She is easy to work with and truly listened. Anna is so awesome that she is fully booked and not taking more clients at the moment. Their specialty at this salon is bridal parties. Thank you, Anna! read more

I am so happy I booked Salon Tryst for my wedding. Most other places I looked at charged more for make up than Salon Tryst charges for make-up and hair. I really appreciated that Salon Tryst does on site hair and make up for as few as two people. I let my bridesmaids choose if they wanted to have hair and make-up done, which they appreciated. I booked Salon Tryst over email and was impressed how quickly they responded. They answered all my questions and made the process painless. On the day of the wedding my stylists, Leah and Anna, arrived precisely on time. It was so much fun having them in the room while we were getting ready. They joked and laughed with us while maintaining their professionalism. They listened to everyone's ideas for looks and adjusted if the final product was not what someone envisioned. Everyone was done on time and the whole process was relaxed and fun. I would highly recommend Salon Tryst, specifically Leah and Anna, to anyone in the Bellingham area looking for a wedding stylist. read more

Tart Beauty did hair and make-up for my October wedding in Bellingham and they did an amazing job! The did myself, several of my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. Lean and Anna were the ones who worked with us. Each woman was able to tell them what they wanted the day of the event, and Leah and Anna made it happen seamlessly. They were great at listening to what we wanted and creating the look we had envisioned. They were also great at creating improvised looks for the women who would give vague instructions (like me!) who would say things like, 'I don't know exactly what I want... maybe a romantic, pretty up-do?" The looks were perfect! Also, there were only a handful of girls who wanted slightly adjustments to coloring of make-up, or tweaks to hair styles, and both Leah and Anna were happy to make them. They were absolutely insistent that we LOVE the way we looked, and would ask questions all the way through to make sure we were all completely happy. What I liked the best about Tart's approach to make-up was that you still looked like yourself when they were done. No fake looking air-brushed looks, or heavily made-up looks. Even the women in our group who never wear make-up were very happy with their looks. The hair and make-up lasted all day. It was even a misty/rainy, VERY windy day and we had no issues! They were also great because they were willing to come out to work off-site. We got ready at our wedding venue - which was out in the county - and they brought their beauty salon to us for no extra charge! I would use Tart again in a heart beat, and I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Leah and Anna at Tart Beauty did an incredible job at my wedding. We had 8 ladies (Bride, MOB, MOG, and 5 bridesmaids). I was very adamant that we all look natural and not like we stepped out of a MAC store with face paint. I loved how light the makeup was. I knew I had a lot on but it didn't feel heavy at all. Tart really made all of us more beautiful than we already are but in a natural way. As for hair, we all had a different look which was great. I was very specific and brought photos from Pinterest of what I wanted to the trial and both the trial and the day of were a perfect match. Only downfall was I didn't have enough bobby pins or hairspray as one part kept falling down and my girls had to keep re-pinning me. Could have been the wind or the weight of the veil too that caused it to come loose. Overall I highly recommend the ladies at Tart for all your special occasions. read more

Tart rocks! Anna, Leah and Molly rock! They always do a wonderful job for our customers! I can always know that hair and makeup is always going to be done on time which is so important with weddings. They always make girls look amazing and beautiful and hairstyles last till the very end of the night. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a hair and makeup artist for the day of their wedding. read more

Leah & Anna were absolutely wonderful to work with and unbelievably talented. They did a phenomenal job giving me the exact look I wanted for the day. The pre-wedding consultation was awesome because after that I was completely confident that I would have the look I wanted on the actual day. They have a very organized system for booking and responded promptly whenever I contacted them with a question. They tell you before- hand exactly what to expect on the day-of as far as schedule and cost. They are happy, up-beat, friendly women who make you feel so good about yourself, and I ended up having a lot of fun with them. They are also a wealth of information on wedding day "flow" and pre-planning advice, if needed. I have thick, curly, frizz-prone hair and wasn't sure if the style/look I wanted would be possible. At my pre-wedding consultation, I showed Anna a picture of what I was hoping for, and she replicated exactly what I wanted. On the actual day, they were quite punctual and efficient. They did a great job styling 3 other women at my wedding (aged 25-67) and made each beautiful for the day. I told Leah that my fiance actually really dislikes make-up, and she gave me a very natural look. The hair and makeup lasted perfectly until I finally took out the bobbypins and washed my face after midnight that night. I truly felt that I looked the best that I can imagine on my wedding day, and I highly recommend using their services for your wedding or special event. read more

Tart Beauty went above and beyond our expectations!!! They arrived early, fully prepared and made the morning fun and exciting. Leah & Anna gave suggestions and insight into our looks which was truly appreciated! They are the most experienced professionals that I have dealt with. And we had quite a group!! (12 people for them to take care of before my wedding). My family, friends, and guests kept raving about our hair and makeup throughout the day. Leah & Anna were easy to get ahold of and always communicative before the big day. I would recommend them AND use them again in an instant! Thank you Tart Beauty!! We cannot emphasize enough how much we love you! read more

I had called Tart beauty to do my hair and makeup for my wedding and 5 of my bridesmaids. To set up an appointment, I had to print out a form, fill it out and mail it with a non refundable deposit of 100 dollars. Seemed weird to me, but my photographers referred me to them. I got a call back a few days later to make an appointment for a test run. I went to their salon all excited to get hair and makeup done as if it was my wedding day. Well, it was absolutely awful. The make up looked like a 10 year old did it for the first time! Anna was doing my makeup and she actually put on the mascara with my eyes closed forcing it on going downward on the back of my lashes. Who does that as a make up artist? And the hair was too much! It was so bad it was like they did that bad of a job on purpose. And as soon as they were done they just rushed me out of there even though they knew I wasn't happy. How can a licensed make up artist and hair stylist be so bad that when my fiance saw me afterward he was shocked to see me and asked didn't you get your make up professional done today?! He said I do my make up so much better than that and he was expecting it to look all professional. It was far from it! He was shocked at how awful it was. Can you imagine if I didn't do the test run? But looking at photos that my photographer took when tart beauty did hair and makeup it looked great. read more

Susan at Salon Tryst is the best! She did my hair and makeup for a photoshoot for my new business headshot and I looked AMAZING. Highly recommend her for your hair and makeup. read more
