Amazing bridal hmua

HMUA
I cannot say enough amazing things about Marlem (bridal hair) and Makenzie (bridal makeup)! The trial for my hair and makeup was already amazing, but the day of my wedding made me feel so BEAUTIFUL with the outstanding job they did 😊 ! I have never felt more beautiful and they both brought my vision for my hair & makeup to life and then some! Everyone was raving about my Hair/Makeup all night. My sister in-law and best friend also had their hair/makeup done and both LOVED it.

I had a low intricate up-do and it held all night without a hair coming out of place! Which is amazing as I had a cathedral veil that was blowing in the wind during the ceremony. During the trial I wanted one slight change and Marlem took the time to redo it so we can both see what the difference would do for the overall look, despite the salon going into closing time. THANK YOU Marlem for the amazing hair!

Makenzie was an amazing makeup artist and the makeup held even after tears! It did not feel heavy at all, my skin was breathable throughout the night, and the makeup enhanced my natural features. Could not have imagined anything better than what I got from Makenzie.

Marlem and Makenzie were the sweetest during our get ready and we had a blast getting ready with them as they were both so personable and funny. My get ready morning was SO relaxing, in part thanks to them! Lastly, I had to have a last minute get ready location change of only 3 days due to an event out of my control. They were very communicative and flexible in making sure this sudden change of plans was stress-free. You will not regret having them for your HMUA!

Thank you Salon Le Rae , and specifically Marlem & Makenzie!!!

Amazing Customer Service!

I booked Salon Le Rae for my wedding based off of their great reviews, that I could see their work on social media and their website, and the ease of booking them! I live in Florida, so finding a vendor in Connecticut was nerve wracking, but Rachel and Makenzie from their team have been wonderful in answering my questions and making the process so easy! I want to give a special shout to Makenzie who has worked with me on the phone several times, making sure I was prepared and knowledgeable for my bridal trial in August! She knew every answer to my questions, was patient in guiding me when I was indecisive and very friendly! While at this point I haven’t met anyone in person, it doesn’t matter because I feel at ease with my experience so far. Looking forward to my bridal trial and wedding with Salon Le Rae in October! If you are thinking of booking with them, do it!

Great experience with Rachel and Salon Le Rae

Rachel, Mackenzie, and the whole bridal team at Salon Le Rae made me feel at my very best for my special day! Rachel, the owner, conducted a hair extensions consult with me, completed hair trials for my mom and I, prepped my hair the night prior with a blow out, and spoke to me at length about the needs and timeline for my bridesmaids and family members who were also getting their hair done for the event. I shared my vision with Rachel and she placed a top notch effort into curling my hair and hair extensions in a multi-hour process. Mackenzie did an amazing job of highlighting my features through make-up in a very natural way! Between all of the prep work and the day of, my bridesmaids, mom, and I looked incredible! We also spoke extremely highly of the entire experience- It was relaxing yet Rachel’s team still managed to get us out the door on time for departure to the venue. I HIGHLY recommend this salon for all of your bridal needs!

AMAZING team and service!

Mackenzie, Taryn, and Stephanie arrived at my house on 10/22 for hair and makeup services for my wedding. I had a big group of girls there that day and they absolutely rocked it! My bridesmaids looked absolutely stunning - hair and make-up were perfect and each of them were so pleased with the services they received. I felt amazing as the bride and could not have asked for a better experience.

If you are looking for hair/makeup services for any special event - don't hesitate - book Salon Le Rae STAT!! You WILL NOT regret it! They were affordable, timely, professional, and extremely talented.

Thank you again for making my day perfect! :)

Must book!!

Scheduling my trial and wedding with the owner Rachel was very easy as she was very responsive. Taryn did the make up for me and my bridal party and did an AMAZING job. The airbrush foundation felt like I wasn’t wearing make up, it was amazing. My make up looked perfect, as did all of my bridal party. We just got our picture back and everyone is raving about how amazing Taryn. My hair artist did not show up, Taryn kept everyone calm, and finished out make up earlier enough to last minute do my hair. And it looked amazing. We couldn’t thank Taryn enough. You have to book her!

Hire them!

Rachel and team from Salon Le Rae are fabulous! During my trial, both Rachel and Taryn were great at taking inspiration photos and turning them into reality, but specific to me and my hair/skin type. They didn't just try to copy cat a look for me, they truly wanted to make it "me." The whole team at Salon Le Rae were absolute professionals the day of the wedding, too! They created unique hairstyles for each bridesmaid based on their request, not just standard bridesmaid hairstyles you see all the time. They are also a very fun crew of people and we had a lot of laughs the day of the wedding! I cannot recommend this team enough!

Excellent service!

I can’t praise this team enough! From start to finish, Rachel and her team were responsive and professional. They used my inspiration photos to bring my vision of my perfect bridal look to life. I was so pleased with my trial, and they replicated my look effortlessly on my wedding day. They arrived promptly to my hotel on time the day of, and were flexible when a couple girls wanted to add on their services. They had us all ready at the time we expected, and were such a joy to get ready with that morning! Not to mention Rachel is just the sweetest person to work with. Pricing was also more reasonable than similar services in the area. Definitely recommend working with Rachel and Salon Le Rae for your wedding day!

The absolute best

Rachel (owner) and her team of talented ladies deserve MORE than a 5⭐ review! Not only are you greeted by hellos and smiles as soon as you walk in the door but you walk out as the beautiful bride you'd hope to be on your special day! After my trial I knew that they were the PERFECT match for me and my ladies! Then covid happened 😔 Through all of that craziness I couldn't be more GRATEFUL as to how understanding and helpful they were. The open line of communication made things even easier and less stressful. I honestly can't PRAISE this salon enough! I LOVED my experience so much that I actually switched salons and now they take care of ALL my hair needs 🥰
