The salon itself is nice, light and bright with spa services on the lower level. I had an eyelash lift done there that was disappointing because my lashes are too short, I guess. However, my stylist, Bree, is the draw for me. I've been seeing her a few years now and she does a fantastic job on my short hair. I do miss the scalp and neck massage, the hot wax hand dip and massage before each haircut, but COVID put an end to these high-touch services. C'est la vie.

Marwa is an very creative and knowledgable makeup artist. I first met Marwa at the trail. She…read morelistened to what I wanted, looked at my outfits and created looks for me that I was delighted with. She took notes and photos throughout the trail, which she came prepared with on my big days. On the day of my trial, she noticed that my eyes were watering (I have dry eyes). She suggested that we try putting some eye drops. To my surprise, my eyes stopped watering. Marwa remembered to bring the eye drops on both my wedding and reception day. The looks she created for me on the days of my wedding and reception were even more incredible than the trial. She is able to work with brides from different ethnicities, producing great results for all skin types and colours. She is very helpful as well. I lost the back of my one of my earrings just as I was about to leave for my reception. Marwa was very sweet to let me use the backs of one of her earrings. She is very responsive, and it very easy to communicate with her via email or phone.

It was such a pleasure working with Marwa. She was recommended by our photographer as we were…read moreaiming for a stylized vintage theme for our engagement photo shoot. Our photographer said that Marwa was the best, so I decided to contact her and I definitely was not disappointed. If you're looking for a professional make-up artist for any event, I would HIGHLY recommend her for the following reasons: 1. professional as well as personable: From the get-go, Marwa was always very professional and reliable. We had a pre-meeting to discuss the look that I was going for. She came prepared and asked all the appropriate questions. Her interactions and communications (via email, phone, or in person) were always very professional. She is also very personable, friendly, and easy to work with, which brings me to #2: 2. collaborative: Marwa really worked with me to achieve just the look(s) that I was looking for. I showed her my ideas and she showed me some of hers. She is flexible and is really attuned to what her clients want. She takes into account the event, the environment (indoors vs. outdoors), outfits, etc...She thought of things that I didn't even think would influence my hair and make-up. She also made suggestions taking into account my desired look. I always felt very comfortably talking to her and she was always receptive to my feedback and requests. 3. technical skill: It is clear that Marwa has the proper training and technical skill to deliver a variety of looks. Her competency is evident in her dexterity and her attention to detail. I also appreciated that she truly took her time in achieving my look. Never did I feel rushed or that I was inconveniencing her. While she was doing my hair and make-up, she would always "check-in" with me for my input. She put me at ease and helped me de-stress about my upcoming shoot. Overall, Marwa was a complete joy to work with. Needless to say, I LOVED my hair and make-up for my engagement shoot. It was just the right amount of make-up to "show up" in the pictures, but also still looked totally natural and not overdone. My hair and make-up were complete at 11am and our shoot was 330pm - 7pm. In that 8 hour span, I never had to touch anything up or reapply any make-up other than lipstick, and that was only because I ate lunch :) She did such an awesome job and I couldn't have been happier.

I have been going to Leah (owner and stylist) at Lavish Salon for almost a year now (every 4-6…read moreweeks). I was recommended to her salon for my Wayzata wedding (hair and makeup). When I called to inquire about pricing I was given so much detail by a warm, knowledgeable receptionist (April 2017). Kathy is another front desk gal and she is amazing!! She is always accommodating, patient and knowledgeable! Leah is not only a great hair stylist but she's a great listener, makes you feel comfortable/invited and she's extremely easy to talk to. Going to get my hair done in the past has always just been something 'I had to maintain' but now I enjoy going and catching up with Leah. My hair has never looked better and I've never felt better about my salon of choice. Lavish is a professional, clean, inviting, friendly salon with amazing passionate team members (it shows in the environment when you're there - I promise)! Highly recommended!

AVOID THIS SALON. SCAM - UNREASONABLE HIGH PRICES with a poor end result/service. BLIND SIDED BY…read moreprice of $348 with no results/change in hair. I used to see Leah at Lavish, she is the owner. Leah is very skilled, probably the most talented colorist I have encountered in my 15 years of getting my hair done. I was devastated when Leah moved me off her books. She did this to focus on her hair extension business, and referred me to Emily Radford. I am currently brunette, with the request to make my way to blonde, I asked for highlights and provided a few inspirational pictures. What I received was very minimal, I could not see a change in my hair aside from 2 chunky highlights at the front of my hair. I understand it takes time to break up brown hair, but i received was unexpected. I was charged $348. Emily is young, new in her career, which I was happy to give her a chance. Moreover, Leah, the owner of the salon has never charged me over $220, and would exceed my expectations. I am extremely sad with the results from this time around, or lack of results rather. I asked for the situation to be made, right, and resolved but Emily said since too much time passed she will not fix or refund. Yes, it has been more than 7 days, but my hair is the same as it was when I walked out of the salon on 10/19, its still brunette, with no highlights except in the front. It took me until today, 12/3 to find the courage to say something about the situation. Lavish salon will charge with you steep unreasonable, unjustifiable prices, without any explanation or preparation of price point. I was blind sided by the price of $348. I cannot afford this price point for my hair, and I am still in need of getting my hair corrected, and will need to pay another salon to make this right. I feel taken advantage of. Save yourself the $ and time, don't go to this salon. Service was on 10/19/23 - after photos from a month later 11/19/23 & today 12/3/23.

They traveled to a hair salon close to our venue in order to do my bridal party's makeup and hair simultaneously, but they would probably travel anywhere! They were on time, cleaned up all their supplies, and were very appreciative to their salon staff for using their space. I found their pricing fairly reasonable for bridal makeup services and I especially liked how the tip was included in the total price for both my trial and our day-of makeup services. My bridal party was pretty impressed and everything went very smooth the day of.

Taylor came to my home for a trial and she was warm, kind, and lovely. I am a tomboy when it comes to makeup and I didn't have the vocabulary to express what I wanted done differently. I arranged a follow up call with Maggie and she took the time to talk through makeup vocabulary and helped me find the right words for the look I was seeking. On the day of the wedding, Taylor nailed the look I was hoping for. I felt absolutely stunning and my girls looked 10 outta 10. The day turned out to be really hot, with a thousand percent humidity and everyone said my makeup looked perfectly fresh the entire night, so.... Taylor is clearly a witch. I cannot recommend Maggie and Taylor highly enough! Kind, caring, talented, capable folks.
