Couldn't be happier!

Carmen from Something You did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for both me and my bridal party (flower girl, too!). She made me feel as beautiful as I could have imagined on my wedding day, and took the time to tweak my hair and makeup as I wanted at both my trial and wedding. She was ready to go when we got to the ceremony location the morning of, and had everyone's hair and makeup done on time. The salon itself is wonderful, and I have started going there for other services! Amanda was also a great help with contracting and scheduling - very responsive!

So impressed!

Something you did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup as well as all of my bridesmaids! We got so many compliments and they made us all feel confident and beautiful. Janie, Carmen, and Kelsey all paid attention to every little detail and our hair and makeup lasted all day and throughout the night!

Amazing Experience

I have never been one to do much with my hair, so I didn't really know where to start when looking for a bridal stylist. I took to Google, read a few reviews, and decided to go with Something You Salon & Spa. I set up my trial appointment with Amanda and went in with some styles in mind. Lucky for me, Amanda specializes in curly hair and knew exactly which styles would work for me and which wouldn't. She was patient and easy to work with and I left my trial feeling confident with my style choice.
Amanda traveled to the I Hotel, was on time, and ready to go when we were. Everyone's hair looked perfect and I loved mine more on my wedding day than after my trial. Amanda did an amazing job with all of the girls and was so easy to work with. She is professional and definitely knows what she is doing. I would highly recommend Something You Salon & Spa to any bride!

Amanda - the Hair Guru

I have been seeing Amanda for my hair for 5+ years now and followed her when she opened Something You Salon in Champaign. Right after I got engaged, 1.5 years before our wedding, I asked Amanda if she would do my hair. She said yes and of course stuck to her word, even though it required her to travel way out of her limits for me. She styled my 3 bridesmaids hair, my mother in law, my Mother, my Nana, and my Aunt. EVERYONE loved their hair, especially me and my Mother (who has super thick, gorgeous hair but is hard to please). As always, Amanda exceeded expectations and was an absolute joy to have with us on my wedding day. She makes every room brighter and is always calm, cool, and collected, and fabulous at what she does. I adore you Amanda and am so grateful for you and the way you made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Working with this salon was a wonderful experience. I did a trial a few weeks before the wedding. I was able to talk through some ideas with my stylist. She was very understanding of what I wanted. We were able to communicate very well. The day of the event, she was able to keep us on time. She executed my hair and makeup EXACTLY how I wanted. She did hair and makeup for my Maid of Honor and makeup for my Mother without having met them before just as wonderfully. I loved my experience and would definitely work with them again.

Amanda and her team at Something You Salon were absolutely wonderful on my wedding day and the day leading up to it. I had a few facials with Michelle and she made sure that my skin was in tip top shape. I met with Amanda for my hair and make up trial. I showed her. A picture of what I wanted and she exceeded my expectations. I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did that day. I highly recommend the girls at something you, they will not disappoint you.

Carmen did a great job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! I love love to look at my photos! I felt so beautiful & got so many compliments on both hair and makeup. She was polite, professional, and so fun to be around! She was also very accommodating to my mom, who typically doesn’t like makeup. She tweaked and adjusted my moms makeup as many times as she asked her to, without complaining or seeming annoyed at all. She truly wanted everyone to look & feel as beautiful as possible! I could not recommend her or the salon as a whole enough!! Thank you so much!
