    Lasted until the honeymoon
    Vicenta S.

    We loved how beautiful Jennifer made us for cm our wedding. She dealt with all our wedding jitters. We love her. Thank you for your patience Jen.

    Alice and her team were incredible! They were kind, funny, and extremely talented. I had never worn hair extensions before, but I wanted to add length to my ponytail, and I honestly felt like a goddess. My makeup was perfectly light and more natural, which is not only what I wanted but it can also be hard to achieve. My sisters kept saying that my hair was "the best wedding and/or bride hair they had ever seen". My whole bridal party was happy with the results. I honestly can't say enough good things about Alice and her team. I have never felt more beautiful in my life! They also don't up-charge the bride which is a breath of fresh hair. When I asked Alice about it, she said "I think of it as a referral, why would I charge the bride more when she's bringing us business"...and it makes total sense! Book Secret Salon immediately, you won't regret it!

    Wedding - 5.15.21 Jennifer & Jane, our two stylists, did and AMAZING job! Myself the bride and my 6 bridesmaids all got our hair & makeup done by them. The were not only pros but they were very personable and just a pleasure to work with. They kept us on schedule too! We all loved our hair & makeup for my big day! Before the wedding, I did all the coordinating with Alice and she was very responsive as well as very nice. She made booking everything a breeze. I would highly recommend this salon to any bride & her bridesmaids for her big day! Thanks again!!

    Such great people!! Alice is an absolute gem of a person. Jennifer was amazing and efficient. Jane was sweet and knew exactly how to make a persons features shine. Everyone's hair and makeup was perfect through happy tears and the night

    This review is long overdue! I worked with Secret Salon for my wedding hair and was so happy I found them. The day of my wedding could have been a disaster, but Alice saved the day. It was during a few week period where a ton of people were getting COVID, and the person I had done my hair trial with got sick. Alice was already covering for another stylist who was also sick, but was able to make it to my venue very close to our planned start time. She not only did an amazing job on all of our hair, but helped us finish up getting ready when we were rushing a little bit. She has such a positive demeanor and a great attitude, it was truly a pleasure and highlight of our time getting ready. As a sidenote, the stylist who did my trial also did a great job! 100% recommend.

    First of all, communication was great with Alice. She was able to answer my emails quickly, and payment was so easy with being able to use Venmo. It was $150 for hair and airbrush makeup. My sister and I did a trial with one of the stylists, Jane, and we were so happy with how it turned out. Alice was also very helpful in providing me with a schedule for the day of (I had 11 people doing hair/makeup) so that eased a lot of my stress. On the day of the wedding, the stylists showed up early to set up. Jane, Jennifer and Helena were all so sweet. They worked with my bridesmaids and family members to make sure that they were happy/comfortable with the results. Jane did my hair/makeup and she was so wonderful to work with, I can't say enough good things about her. She made some changes, at my request, and she made sure that I was happy with the final look. She was there up until the moment I walked out the door for first look photos.

    I booked make up and hair services for my wedding months in advance and the communication with Alice was easy and always fast. Alice and her two associates did a wonderful job with my bridal party of eight plus a flower girl. Everyone was happy with their hair and make-up but the team was also receptive to whatever suggestions and choices we wanted as well so no one felt like their wants were being ignored. I'm so happy I found Secret Salon! Everyone was so friendly and our make-up and hair looked amazing. I would definitely recommend Secret Salon for wedding make up and hair!!

    I love how Secret Salon did my hair and makeup!

    Love them! I cannot recommend the Secret Salon highly enough! Alice was so prompt to respond to my numerous emails. She was so sweet and excited for our wedding. She was so professional and genuinely kind. She worked hard with me on creating a schedule that worked for everyone. She was organized and great at communication. On the day of the wedding, Jane did our hair. Everyone's hair looked amazing! She did such a good job! She was very sweet and professional. My bridesmaids came with several ideas and pictures, and she made it a reality. She listened to what I wanted and offered suggestions when I needed them. Helena did our make up on the wedding day. She worked with what I wanted and gave advice when I asked for it. One other bridesmaid and I are not big make up people, and she really helped us. She made me feel at ease. She even offered to step up and say something to my photographer when he started to stress me out. The Secret Salon made me feel so special! They really cared about making my day the best it could be! They kept us on schedule even when my bridesmaids were not being quick about things. All of my bridesmaids and my mom felt really beautiful. Everybody had great things to say about the experience.

    I'm so happy I found Secret Salon for my wedding day! Alice is awesome and genuinely wants the best for you on your special day, whatever the occasion may be. I did a trial about two months before and bought beautiful hair extensions from her that day. I've never had my hair done like this so I was pretty stoked about being able to purchase them on the spot. Jennifer was originally going to be the only stylist for the five of us but Alice ended up joining as well which was great. On the day of our wedding they arrived early and were nothing but good vibes. I did a lower updo for the ceremony and Jennifer happily showed my friend which bobby pins to easily take out to change the style to half up/half down after the ceremony. We only had our hair done because my friend did my makeup and my maid of honor so I can only speak on their hairstyling. Their prices are super reasonable and Alice is very quick with responding to emails. The five of us were so happy with our hair and we all felt gorgeous. Go with Secret, you won't be disappointed! Thank you Alice and Jennifer!! Xoxo

    Day of bridal hair right after they finished.

    My experience started out great, I went for a bridal trial and felt heard and the woman who did my hair and makeup did exactly what I wanted. Alice was very nice and communicated well. Unfortunately the day before my wedding one of the makeup artists got sick so they had one of the girls who do hair step in for makeup and then they hired a girl who had never done any work for them to come and do hair, without telling me. Alice had zero backup plan for my wedding day, the girl they hired to do hair could not do any of my bridesmaids hair correctly (the style asked for was a simple braid with waves, not a French braid and they all looked so different), and the women were complaining to my bridesmaids throughout the day. I hate to leave such a negative review but the only thing I liked was my makeup. My bridesmaids complained that their curls fell almost immediately and they had to recurl their hair themselves and for each other and that even though they specifically said they needed a moisturizer on their face the women took it off and applied the airbrush right on their skin and it looked crackly. They also did not recreate my hair well from my trial, it looked completely different. (See photos). I reached out to Alice afterwards about my experience and received excuses as to why it happened which didn't help me. She said she told my wedding planner what had happened and she assumed that the planner told me but she should have told me to make sure that I knew what was going on.

I had to rush home and couldn't explain what felt off, so I called the same day to schedule adjustments. Two days later, I came in thinking she was just going to cut my hair dry buSabrina gave me a full service (wash, cut, blow dry, style) and nailed the look I wanted. She even waived the cost for the redo! I was shocked and grateful--being 3 months postpartum, I didn't feel my best, and I left the salon loving my hair. Sabrina is the sweetest, most understanding stylist, and I felt completely comfortable giving honest feedback. 10/10 recommend!

I went for the appointment figuring the cost would be the typical $60 to $80 rate. Wendy charged me an outrageous $190 FOR A SIMPLE ROOTS TOUCH UP & BLOW DRY! No haircut involved. As she told me the price she said, "no need to add a gratuity, it's included in the price. SHE JUST ADDED IN A TIP FOR HERSELF WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Who does that? It's so unprofessional, unethical and scammy! Her cost was already appallingly over the top for a simple roots job! Why does she think she deserves a tip on top of that? I should never have paid that inflated amount. I called Wendy Wendy when I got home to ask if she could give me some credit back for the overcharge. She said she'd consider it and call me back. She never called. I would NEVER have agreed to a $190 roots fee if I was given an honest answer when I called to ask the price. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WENDY! Demand to get a price before you make an appointment. Better yet, go somewhere else with reasonable, not ridiculous fees and deceptive "gratuities."
