Perfect wedding hair

First I just have to say how much I appreciate the flexibility offered by Swink, especially in the postponement and re-scheduling required by the pandemic. Additionally, I was making changes to who was getting hair and makeup done when up to two weeks before the wedding and Swink had no problem with it. I think this would have been nearly impossible with any other hair/makeup vendor.
I did end up choosing to do my wedding makeup myself after my trial, because I didn't like how the makeup turned out. Swink did offer to bring me in for another trial free of charge, but I declined. A couple of my bridesmaids had their makeup done at Swink and we all loved how that turned out, so it's possible I'm just really picky about my makeup.
My entire wedding party and my mom had our hair done at Swink and everyone was thrilled, but me most of all. My hair was perfect. Seriously pinterest-worthy, and lasted all day.

Highly recommended

Mo is a miracle worker! Not only did she do an amazing job on my hair and make-up, she also managed to fit my mom's hair and make up in despite my mom's appointment not being in the book. During my trial she took the time to figure out my vision and style and was very receptive of the feedback I had. Thank you so much Mo!

Quick, talented, & beautiful

I was recommended to Swink by one of my bridesmaids and I am SO happy I chose to go with them. While I was hoping to have an on-site vendor, this turned out to be the perfect choice. We arranged for all our girls to be dropped off at their appointment time & had cars to shuttle them to the venue, which worked out to be a nice central place for everyone to meet. We had a total for 13 ladies, including a 4 year old flower girl & both our moms, and they got us in and out even quicker than our contracted time! Working with Amy was a dream, she managed to get us all put together in our allotted time, even when I added people, rearranged times, added/removed services, she was so responsive and kind in a stressful time! Tiara did both my hair and makeup at my trial and day-of and he was a gem. With very little guiding from me, she was able to take my natural self and make it even better. Nothing was over the top, and I still looked like myself while feeling like a celebrity. Everyone looked beautiful, felt even better, and every person we worked with there was polite, helpful, and really helped pump up our energy while keeping us calm in what could be a very stressful time! I will definitely be using their services again in the future!

My hair was absolutely perfect and lasted all day and night!

I would absolutely recommend using Swink for your wedding day hair style! I had visited them years ago (when they were in the University Village) and loved the experience then, so I thought about looking into their services for wedding day hair. The bridal coordinator was so helpful and flexible with the planning. The price was on the lower end of average of what I had found in the Seattle area. My hair trial was a few weeks before the wedding and I brought in some pictures off Pinterest for inspiration, but I trusted my lovely stylist Ashley and told her the only thing I really want is for my hair to not look as thin as it is and to be up and stay up for 12+ hours. I have fine hair, and not a whole lot of it, so I was very pleased with the way she was able to make my hair look full and intricate. She was absolutely fantastic. A few of my bridesmaids and my mom also got their hair done for the wedding (without a trial) and it turned out pretty good overall. If you do go with Swink, I highly recommend a trial run if you have difficult hair or hair that doesn't like to stay put even with hair spray. I would definitely recommend them and use them again in a heart beat.

My bridal party all received hair and makeup by Swink and I am SO glad we came- we all left looking great. I had gone in to the salon the Friday before my wedding to have my hair done for my bridal shower and was able to work with the same stylist on the day of the wedding. Since we were all wearing our hair down in loose curls, Swink let me book the wedding party as a series of standard blow out appointments (versus booking as a wedding party which costs more) and this option saved us quite a bit of money. I would only recommend doing it this way if you are requesting a simple look because it does not allow for buffer time to do any re-dos (which we didn't need so it worked out great for us :) ). The staff was all extremely kind and made us feel special, I highly recommend coming here.

I had a great experience with this salon. I used them for my engagement photos, I had a trial done and also for my wedding day. They did such a great job! I had my mom and groom's mom and my 6 bridesmaids all get their makeup done and everyone looked so great! They made adjustments if someone wanted to tweak something. Very great experience!

After I looked into having someone come to my hotel suite to do my hair and makeup on the day of my wedding and finding out it was way out of my budget, I found Swink. They had really great reviews and the salon was located right across the street from our hotel, plus they could accomodate my entire bridal party on the big day. I also loved the idea that in addition to the appointments for my wedding hair and makeup for the bride, they include a trial appointment so you can test things out.

I had my trial appointments about three weeks before my wedding and liked the results, but I showed up on my wedding day with a few changes I wanted to make. My hairdresser agreed and said the changes would be no problem. It was so fun to be there with my mom and all my bridesmaids around me while I got pretty. I was so nervous but in the end everything turned out perfectly and I couldn't wait for the groom to see me! He absolutely loved everything about my hair and makeup.

It was $200 for the Bridal Hair & Makeup Package which included a trial hair and trial makeup appointment plus the wedding day appointments (a total of 4 appointments). I thought this was a really good price and the trial appointments were absolutely worth it (I did the trial the day of my bridal shower). The also serve complimentary champagne for the wedding day appointments, which was fun.

Bridesmaid Hair is $50 and Bridesmaid Makeup is $45. Some of my bridal party thought this was too expensive but the ones who did use Swink on the wedding day were happy with the results. I'd definitely recommend Swink based on price and results.

Swink saved my day. After being unhappy with another Salon a week before my wedding I was told to try out Swink. Not only were their prices affordable, the place is not pretentious or trying to sell you everything they have in it. The ladies at Swink were so kind to me and my 3 bridesmaids and they really made a big effort to fit us in. My hair and make-up looked wonderful and stayed put through the day. I am so happy that this last minute change was able to happen, I look forward to going to Swink again.

Thank you Swink! A very special thank you to Liz who was in charge of doing my hair and makeup. Liz was awesome! Although I was a little unsure during my hair/makeup trial run, my wedding day hair and makeup was incredible! I really could not have asked for more. She was flexible in changing my original hair and makeup plans, and went above and beyond what was expected. She even upgraded my warm champagne by offering me their chilled champagne which was an added bonus!! I walked out of there feeling on cloud 9 and truly felt like a bride. Thank you Liz and Swink for taking such great care of me and my bridal party. You guys are fantastic!

Britni did an excellent job with my hair and make-up for my wedding. She listened to my ideas and improved upon them to create something fabulous! Britni was so diligent with pinning my updo that it lasted all day and night perfectly. I received so many compliments from my guests on my hair and make-up and now I’m loving all of the photos. I’m so grateful that Britni was a part of my big day!

Flexibility was rated lower since they moved my bridal party's appointment to an earlier time slot than initially agreed upon.
