Never in my whole life have I been so happy (obsessed) with my hair + mu.

PROs:

Honestly, I already knew Alana was amazing because she came highly recommended by my very trusted friend (who is even pickier than I am). What I did not know was that she is also chill + cool AF. She was literally like part of the crew, and I was sad when she had to leave.

So to start: let me tell ya, being half Korean has made for some *pretty gnarly* eye makeup situations. People just don't know how to deal with small hooded eyes. I don't even know how to do my eye makeup tbh. Luckily, these ladies are TRUE ARTISTS. I seriously looked fly AF.

My mom and bridal party also LOVEDDDD Alana and her team. This is good because I absolutely would not have been able to deal with any b!†ching on my WD.

And no lie, after a full night of dancing/sweating, I was *SHOCKED* to look in the elevator mirror and see that EVERYTHING was still 100% intact! Like...how is that even possible? !!

CON:

From here on out, it will be IMPOSSIBLE for me to have a good attitude when getting my hair + mu done by anyone other than Alana + team. No one will ever measure up. I am already having (major) anxiety about a wedding I'm in and anticipate having to remind the bride how much better Alana was than the people she booked.

Alana and Jackie were a joy to work with. Their hair and makeup services are stunning and having them here in Santa Fe was a big plus for our Santa Fe wedding. They were incredible to communicate with and brought a lot of peace to the day of. Would recommend!!!

Alana and Jackie are incredible. They can literally do anything, and they make you feel so confident and fabulous in the process. Always an amazing experience working with them, would recommend to anyone.

Very professional and amazing! I appreciate all of her good communication. Alana and her team made my wedding day amazing!

I cannot say enough about Alana and her entire team. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, as well as my sister in-laws for her wedding. Alana is professional and so talented. Not only that, but she really cares about higiene and making sure that everything is safe and clean. I would recommend her company to anybody looking for her whole package!

Alana and her team were wonderful.
From the first conversation I felt comfortable and knew we were in good caring experienced, professional hands. She responded to all my many questions within 24 hours and never made me feel like I was bothering her. The communication was great. The A Salon team was early and all set up when we entered the hair & makeup room. I was nervous but Alana made it fun and relaxing and when we finished, we felt and looked beautiful and confident. A Salon gave me and my bridesmaids the perfect look that we wanted.
I recommend A Salon to anyone going to beautiful Santa Fe for their wedding.

I can’t say enough amazing things about A Sa.lon! Alana did both my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was amazing. Not only is she incredibly talented and professional, but she and her team brought such a warm, fun energy to the day. She instantly felt like a friend and I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Alana and A. Salon Santa Fe were recommended to us by our wedding photographer Maura Jane Photography. I communicated with Alana on Instagram and we discussed the hairstyle I wanted for my wedding day. I sent an inspiration pic and Alana recommended I bring some clip-in extensions to achieve the look. She arrived early and managed to recreate the look perfectly. I am so, so happy with the way my hair turned out! She is a dream to work with—so sweet and kind. I highly recommend Alana and A. Salon Santa Fe ❤️

We've worked with Alanna and her team at A Salon on many weddings and events over the years, and they are always exceptional. As photographers, we truly appreciate how beautifully their hair and makeup work translates on camera- flawless, polished, and long-lasting every time.

They’re not only incredibly talented but also friendly, professional, and a calming presence on busy wedding days. Clean, punctual, and always prepared, they make our job easier and the experience better for everyone involved.

Highly recommend A Salon to anyone looking for top-notch beauty professionals!

We had the most wonderful experience with Alana. She arrived early, was prepared and had a very sweet way making my nervous, about to be wed, daughter relax with her peaceful and gracious energy. She knew exactly what to do and say and she made it fun. Our hair and makeup was absolutely amazing and very natural, just the way we wanted. We couldn’t have asked for a better stylist. We highly recommend Alana of A Salon. Thank you Alana.
