Amazing, Gorgeous Wedding Hair & Makeup!

I used Rouge Cosmetics for my wedding hair and makeup after a coworker recommended them, and they exceeded my expectations! Allie, the owner, is an amazing businesswoman who runs a top-notch, highly professional, and friendly team. They were so accommodating, understanding, and attentive to all of my concerns and preferences. While my trial went well, my actual wedding day look took things to the next level—it was precisely the bridal look I envisioned! They also did a fantastic job with my bridesmaids and the mothers. Everyone looked gorgeous! I cannot recommend Rouge Cosmetics enough for your wedding day or any beauty service!

The ladies at Rouge did an amazing job on our wedding day makeup (9/16/17). We had 7 ladies that needed makeup that day, and they got everyone done on time and we didn't have to start at 7am which was a huge plus! During my trial at the salon I had encountered poison ivy just a few days before (mostly on my face) and was planning to attend my bridal shower the day of the trial. Angeline did some incredible work and nobody at the shower would have known I had any skin issues that day unless I had told them so. It was truly amazing. I would not hesitate to go to them again for makeup services for a special event. Since then I have had waxing services there and it is always a lovely experience. Book Rouge for your next special event or wedding, you certainly won't be disappointed!

I recently used Rouge for my hair and makeup for my wedding at the Hawthorne Hotel in Salem and they were amazing!! Alejandra (Ale) did make up and Sandy did hair. Ale is INCREDIBLE with makeup and it felt very natural, not cakey at all. It was by far the best makeup I've ever had done. My mother, who doesn't wear much makeup, even loved how Ale made her look. Sandy did an awesome job on my hair, I couldn't have asked for anything better. Book them if you are having your wedding in the Salem area, they travel or you can go to the store! And they are extremely pleasant to work with too.

I had my wedding make up done here and i couldn't imagine it turning out any better! Megan was wicked awesome! They were so nice and listened and changed anything I didn't like! They also were kind enough to allow my photographer to do some shits of the process!

I booked Rouge for my wedding makeup. I was terrified to have my makeup done professionally, as I am rarely happy with the result. That being said, the staff at Rouge were AMAZING! I had a trial session, and Brandon, my makeup artist, didn’t force anything on me. He would try things out, would listen to my opinion, and make recommendations. I loved the final product. My bridesmaids were happy as well and I don’t think I heard one complaint, only kudos. In fact, a few of the girls lamented that they didn’t have a shop like this back home! The staff are very knowledgeable about makeup, skincare, and all of the products in the store. The shop itself is nice and it has some great products. I plan to shop here more often for products and if I find myself in need of professional makeup, I will not hesitate to come back to Rouge. Thanks for making me look gorgeous!

I love this place. Everyone turned out so beautiful for our wedding. I had so much fun getting my makeup done that I wish I could drive up there every weekend to do it again!

Jennifer, Ann and the rest of the girls are very talented and a pleasure to work with.

The ladies of Rouge were amazing! They were so accommodating, even squeezing two more people in for makeup. Everyone looked fantastic, no one was over done. It was exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely recommend them.

For the amount of money I paid...

I paid nearly $2200.00 for hair and makeup for the bridal party and the mother's. While our makeup was great and on point. The hair was very lack luster for the amount paid. The hair was just not done well. Any of us that our hair in an updo the hair was falling out by the time the hero started. And when it came to paying there was multiple prices we were given. If you are a Salem bride I would recommend Rouge for makeup but not hair.
