  I LOVE these people! My daughter was in a wedding several years ago in the North Carolina mountains and the team from Stuart Lawrence came up to do the bridal party's hair and make-up. As my daughter's recent wedding was at a club near Charleston, they were our first choice as she had been so impressed with their professionalism. We did a trial run with Amanda in the Spring and signed a contract with their manager, Michael Varnadore to do the bride's hair plus nine other hair services. The wedding took place the weekend of all of the terrible flooding in Charleston but that did not stop them for a minute. Unbeknownst to us, Michael apparently went around and picked up all of the employees who were coming out to our house 12 miles west of Charleston (now THAT was impressive!) so that they could be sure to get there without any problem. Additionally, the people I had contracted to do make-up (as Stuart Lawrence no longer offered that service) called at the last minute to say that they just could not make it (!). I called Michael in a panic and he managed to call a friend who is a professional make-up artist on the spur of the moment and he was fantastic, as were all of the other stylists who came with him. I cannot say enough great things about this team.....they were perfect in every way and a complete delight to be with !

  Katherine recently did my hair for my wedding and another girl ( I can't remember her name but she did great!) did my bridesmaids and they did a great job. We did a trial run a few weeks before the wedding and I had a few things I wanted to tweak. Katherine listened and really followed directions well. The pricing was a little high but they did a great job and I would definitely use them again!

  Butch at Stuart Laurence Salon was a miracle worker with my thin hair--I was sure I was going to need some sort of extensions or fake hair, but he was able to do a beautiful up-do without them. He was extremely thorough at the trial, and once we decided on a final look, all I had to do on the wedding day was walk in, sit down, and try to relax. My hair stayed perfect until I took it down over 12 hours later! My bridesmaids that had appointments at Stuart Laurence were also very pleased with how their hair turned out. I just wish I lived in Charleston so that Butch could be my hair stylist!

  The staff at Stuart Laurence is amazing. They worked their hair magic for my spring wedding. My hair as well as my bridesmaids looked flawless. Everything was perfect and they made everything so easy.

  I had my wedding hair done by Butch at Stuart Laurence salon and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! I have pretty thin hair and came to Butch wanting big, soft, classic looking hair and that is exactly what he gave me. He was fun to work with and spend the morning with, made me feel beautiful and relaxed and the hair held up (pretty much) all night. I didn't leave the dance floor though so I thought it held up amazingly, considering.
  
  I booked two services with Stuart Laurence, mine and my mothers. They called me a few days before and let me know that Butch would be coming with an assistant so he could really focus on my hair. My mom's hair was also beautiful. They came to our house and we had a great morning getting ready. They are definitely more expensive than other local hair and makeup that I found, but I loved my trial with Butch so much that I decided to use him for myself and get someone else for my bridesmaids.
  
  Overall was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Butch from Stuart Laurence Salon!!!

  Stuart Laurence was recommended by my wedding planner from Loluma, so I knew they'd be great. Butch was amazing, kind, and extremely patient. I initially had no idea what I wanted, and he stuck with me through a very long hair trial. I made another hair trial, which he went out of his way to put together for me. I'm a terrible person, and cancelled at the last minute. You would never know. He remained kind and patient with me on my wedding day. Him and his entire team were extremely professional, and fun to have around on my wedding day! I can't recommend Butch enough.
  Melissa from the salon also did my makeup. She did a fantastic job. It didn't budge or smear or fade. She also was so sweet, and amazing at her job. I'm so thankful Loluma suggested them. They made my wedding and me that more fabulous!!

  They are popular and book up quickly. and for good cause, their stylists are amazing! however their management that books wedding day appointments is less than friendly.

  I’m writing this review for a single stylist Ryan. I’m sad she is no longer with the salon but I’m excited for her new venture at the Lava Salon!!! She is fantastic and deserved to be treated with a little more dignity then what she received from Stuart Laurence. Iwill be definitely following her there. Check out lava salon and ask for Ryan!

  I had heard nothing but great reviews for Stuart Laurence, and they came highly recommended by the best wedding planners in Charleston. I will say the staff was extremely flexible and professional. My hair dresser Butch was awesome to work with, very kind and funny. He was very patient, and had lots of great ideas. My only complaint is that my hair fell about two hours after he left my hotel room. I was just sitting there waiting for the limo. I wasn't doing anything that would possibly make it fall. I didn't even make it to the ceremony before my hair started falling, and by the time I got to my cocktail hour for photos my hair had almost completely fallen. I only had him do a simple side bun, and I didn't have anything in my hair. It fell well before I started to dance, and in every one of my wedding photos my hair is a complete mess. Every time I look at the pictures now, I want to cry, because my hair is a complete fallen, half-bun mess in every single photo from the beginning of the day till the end.
  Maybe he was just having a bad day, but you only get one, so I'd take my chances elsewhere.
