The perfect team for the perfect look on your big day!

I cannot recommend Sonar Beauty enough for the perfect glam for your wedding! Kristin and Erin were absolute professionals, and made the whole getting ready process so fun and stress free. They were responsive, flexible, creative, and diligent in their work. They are both insanely talented at their craft and awesome humans in general. They did my bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and mother and grandmother. Everyone was obsessed with the looks they gave us! Could not have been better. Book them as your glam squad for the big day and I promise you will not regret it!

Great Hair and makeup

Kristen was GREAT! I opted to do a trial and I didn’t love how I looked after ,but Kristen was SO helpful and able to make changes so it was exactly the look I wanted. She was able to offer me a second trial at no cost and she listened to everything I wanted or didn't want. I honestly have never felt so beautiful in my life. My hair and makeup looked stunning and lasted throughout the night! Kristen and her team were punctual and quick and got everyone ready according to our timeline!

Perfect Hair and Make-Up

Sonar Beauty was wonderful to work with! They did hair and makeup for myself (the bride), as well as all 5 of my bridesmaids. We received so many compliments on the hair and make-up. I felt beautiful, and they really listened to what I was looking for. The team at Sonar Beauty was even able to work with me when I had a change of heart for my look. They were able to execute flawlessly and create the look I had exactly in mind. I am so thankful that I was able to work with them on my wedding day. I highly recommend Sonar Beauty to any bride.

Supportive, Efficient, and Loving Atmosphere! LOVED My Experience!

I am so happy with the service that Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook provided. My husband and I were part of the barrage of engaged couples that postponed their wedding (numerous times) due to COVID-19. As a result, we lost a few vendors along the way including my the stylists for my hair & makeup. I was able to contact Sonar Beauty within a month & a half of our wedding and get fit in incredibly quickly. They were also so supportive of me bringing my mom, despite her having her hair done elsewhere and her asking to do her own makeup (by herself) at Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook. They knew instinctively what I needed to make my wedding day perfect and they absolutely kicked butt.

Here are the hardcore deets: my hair & makeup was AMAZING and everything I could have ever wanted. They were so sweet to my mom, which just made the start of my wedding day even more perfect. I would come back here again to get my hair & makeup done for any event AND I recommend coming here period. Do it. Stop reading reviews and wondering. Just do it.

Thank you so much, from all facets of our hearts.

Prefect hair and make-up

Sonar Beauty met all my expectations. Kristan did a trial run on my hair and makeup and listened to exactly what I wanted. Her team was prompt and professional. She had a quick response time and was lovely to work with. I highly recommend!!

Easy to Work With + Talented Stylists!

The Sonar Beauty team was amazing! Our original wedding had to be moved because of the pandemic, but Kristan was so easy to work with to reschedule. Their stylists Rachel and Ivette did an amazing job doing hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and were a joy to have and laugh with as we got ready for the big day!

Great bridal & bridesmaid services!

We rented out Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook for me and my 9 bridesmaids to get hair and makeup done for my wedding. We had 4 artists, and they all were fantastic. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and they made everyone feel comfortable. The space is super cute and we appreciated not having to squeeze into a hotel room to get ready. Would highly recommend Sonar for your wedding!

Hair and Makeup - exact to specifications

I used Sonar Beauty for hair and make-up for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and sister of the bride. We had the salon as well which was very convenient and super cute place to get ready! Felicity did all airbrush makeup which looked absolutely flawless on all of us (age range 30 - 68 years old). It looked natural and held up all day! Ashley did all our hair and she did a fantastic job! I gave her an impossible hairdo which she made my hair look amazing! It had braids every which way, and I'm not even sure how she did it, but it looked impeccable! My bridesmaids as well as family’s hair also looked stunning! And I can say that Ashley matched each photo spot on! I would recommend to anyone! All my bridesmaids and family were extremely happy with their hair and makeup and even tried to book them again for future weddings. I asked for a more natural boho vibe, but considering how spot on they both were, I’m confident they could do anything! It was by far my favorite make-up and hair that I have had done!

Lovely, professional, just right

Kristen and Jaclyn did a fabulous job getting our bride and bridal party polished and photo ready on our big day. We had heat, humidity, rain and then cold temps to deal with throughout the day but hair and make-up looked awesome all day. Wedding days are stressful and a little like putting together a one day circus. So much to do, so many moving pieces, and high expectations. Kristen and Jaclyn made sure everyone looked and felt like the best version of themselves. They were on time, professional, skilled, and flexible. 100% recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
