Reviews of A Handful Salon

Quick and amazing work!

Kelly from A Handful Salon was amazing!

She was so sweet and her work is solid! I was worried about not getting everyone’s hair done on time, she assured me several times that she’d be able to finish with time to spare. She was even willing to come a little earlier to ease my anxiety.
She arrives at 8:00 started around 8:15 and was able to do my hair and my 5 bridesmaids and finish before 1:30 (I wanted everyone done by 2). She’s been doing this for 10 years and it was clear she had everything under control.
She stuck around until I was getting ready to walk down the aisle to make sure everything stayed in place after getting all dressed.
She was amazing! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely amazing!!!

Kelly and Mattie were wonderful. Kelly was so responsive and easy to work with. She understood exactly what I wanted for a hair style and Mattie kept my makeup very natural.
They came to the house right on time and got to work with a bridal party of 4 and myself we were done in plenty of time to get dressed and set out for the venue.
Kelly and Mattie were very professional and easy going. Would highly recommend

Incredible Wedding Hair & Makeup Duo

Kelly & Mattie of A Handful Salon are incredibly talented hair and makeup professionals that allowed my bridesmaids and I to feel gorgeous on my wedding day. Every bridesmaid commented on how they provided the best hair/makeup they've had in a wedding. Both Kelly and Mattie were adaptable to the unique styles that each bridesmaid and myself wanted. Making sure that we all felt our absolute best. They are also both a joy to be around. They were both calm and flexible with the hectic nature of a wedding morning/afternoon. I cannot say thank you enough for making us all feel so beautiful.

Kelly and Mattie are amazing!

Kelly and Mattie did hair and makeup for my bridal party. They were amazing! We were an out of state party and Kelly was so flexible with my trial. The day of the wedding they were super prompt and my squad looked amazing!

Beautiful work and very timely

I contacted A Handful Salon to inquire about hair and makeup for my wedding and received an email back within the same day. The bridal party consisted of 9 girls plus myself doing both hair and makeup with an early ceremony AND pictures beforehand. They arrived on-sight super early to start the getting ready process and worked efficiently to get through all the ladies ahead of schedule. Everyone loooved their hair and makeup (including a few skeptics that had bad experiences in the past)! The prices were reasonable and the stylist/artist were professional and friendly. They definitely took the stress out of the day and added to the positive vibe while we were getting ready. I would recommend A Handful Salon to every bride! I only wish I lived closer so that I could go to the salon for my routine beauty needs.

Last minute booking with 5 star service

I was in a very awful situation where the hairstylist I booked 6 months ago cancelled last minute. I was even more super anxious because I have an unusual case in that I had purchased a wig for this wedding because it was fuller than my natural hair.
Not many stylists were willing to work with a hairpiece and finding a hairstylist for your wedding day on a Saturday. With 5 days notice is a long shot . I trusted kelly would be awesome after a short phone conversation, we scheduled a bridal trial and she nailed it on the first shot. I sent my wig home with her so she could take her time and pre style it, she came on time on my wedding day, completed the final look , and thanks to her hard work I was able to be the bride I aspired to be on my wedding day ! I would recommend kelly , not just for her talent, but for her professionalism , honesty and more than fair pricing , my husband and I will never forget. Her work will be seen and awed by many generations to come when they see how she made me into a princess on 8/24/19!

Awesome Services

Not being someone who normally spends a lot of time on hair and makeup, I felt like it was daunting looking for the perfect people to help on my wedding day. I was SO relieved when I found Kelly and Mattie, who both made the process so easy, and gave me hair and makeup that I was so proud of for my wedding. I felt natural and beautiful, and they spared no attention with my bridesmaids and moms. They also fit right into our "getting ready" environment, and I was so happy to have them there.

The staff at a Handful Salon were spectacular! They worked together as a team to make sure my party of 6 was happy and well taken care of. They always leave just enough time between appointments so for the two hours we were there we were their only customers. We all got mani/pedis and Loved the quality of them! They take their time to make sure it's done right! Love these ladies!
