Lily makes sure to address your individual skin needs while using high-end products to ensure quality and longevity.

Prior to the special day, clients can schedule haircuts, coloring, and extension appointments with our team. When the big day arrives, brides and their loved ones can rest assured that this team will take care of them. The Braid Lounge specializes in weddings, but also accepts all types of services, such as maternity, photo shoots, events, parties, etc. We can't wait to be a part of your special event and story.

Highly Recommend The Braid Lounge!

I used The Braid Lounge for my wedding and I was so happy with the outcome. Jada, my stylist was so easy to work with. I wanted to make a few changes from my hair trial the day of my wedding and she executed my vision perfectly. Jada is approachable and made me feel very comfortable. She did some of my bridal party's hair as well and they all looked stunning. Everyones hair stayed throughout the night of dancing which only adds to how great the service was. Thank you Jada and The Braid Lounge!

Phenomenal

My group LOVED how fast Monique was and felt so beautiful all day and night with our hair. She is so creative and beyond talented. Not to mention a single mama who adopted 3 kids, but is still able to give her all in her work as well! 10/10 would always recommend!

Loved them

I booked their services for hair and make up, for myself (the bride) and 5 other ladies. They were super flexible and coordinated to meet us at 2 places the morning of the wedding due to the venue’s schedule. Monique gave me the prettiest braid I’ve ever seen and Jamie’s make up was amazing and lasted all night! It helped that both of them were friendly and everyone had a blast chatting with them while getting ready. I’m not able to upload a photo of my make up but you’ll have to trust me, it was subtle and elegant and we all felt so so pretty!

Monique is amazing!

I used Braid Lounge Boise for my wedding on 10/13/24, Monique did an amazing job styling hair for the entire bridal party, myself, and my husband - 10 people total! She was a rockstar, working solo, everyone had their hair done on time, looking amazing, and everyone's hair lasted the whole evening. Monique was easy to book, she helped me decide on a look that worked best for my hair type, and overall was awesome to work with!

Definitely recommend!

Monique and Lily are amazing. Excellent price and excellent service. They showed up on time, communicated well with me, and were flexible when needed.

Monique is a quick stylist but doesn’t compromise on quality. She needed little direction on what we wanted with our hair and it still it turned out to phenomenal. Our hair stayed the whole time throughout dancing, bouncing, and everything in between. My hair even looked okay the next morning after a sleep.

Lily gets makeup. We did my test run and I took a nap (I’m a sleepy girly) and my makeup stayed. On my wedding day, my makeup stayed as well! I have rosacea and she covered my redness well (even though I wasn’t having a massive flare up). I noticed a little bit of separation of the foundation at the end of the night BUT again I was dancing and everything so a little to be expected and not a dig on Lily’s skills. Just like my hair, my makeup stayed through til the morning (yes I broke a cardinal rule and didn’t take my makeup off after my wedding…again, I am a sleepy girly).

Overall, I will recommend the Braid Lounge. Monique and Lily are an awesome team and I am exceptionally happy they were a part of my special day. Thank you Monique and Lily 💜

Absolutely IN LOVE with Bridal Hair!

Monique was so easy to work with and willing to travel all the way to McCall and gave me the most beautiful bridal hair along with 8 other people! She did everything herself and all in such a timely manner to perfectly fit our schedule!! Highly recommend!

Excellent all around!

I cannot recommend this business enough! Monique (hair) and Lily (makeup) were my artists from The Braid Lounge. During my trials they listened to what I wanted and were willing to take a few minutes to let me sit and think about any changes I wanted to make. Monique was able to create a hairstyle based on photos and ended up making a beautiful boho updo with a fishtail braid and braided bun. It was perfect for me. I showed Lily two separate photos of what I wanted for my makeup and she was able to combine the elements I liked. I didn’t feel “overdone” at all. She chose colors that matched me well and brought out my natural beauty. On wedding morning, both Monique and Lily finished with plenty of time to go so we were not stressed at all! They brought such a calm energy to my wedding morning that set the tone to help me enjoy the rest of my day. My hair and makeup lasted all throughout the day and well into the night. All of my bridesmaids were very happy with their hair and makeup too. Thank you so much to the Braid Lounge for making me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful and pampered on my wedding day! (Most of the photos below are from my trial but I will update with wedding day photos once I have them)
