10/10 would recommend

Katelyn knocked my wedding day look out of the park! She was super patient with me - I did 2 trials (I was just paranoid in general about bridal hair+makeup), one when I booked & another a month out before the wedding - but tbh I didn’t even need a second trial. I gave her feedback after the first trial & the second round was perfect - I could’ve walked down the aisle right then & there. Since our wedding day, my husband has told me several times offhand how beautiful my wedding day look was & what an amazing job my MUA did (he’s picky!). 🤗 Nicole did hair for my mom, aunt, & MOH while Katelyn did makeup, which all turned out beautifully! In addition to doing an incredible job, I’d also like to shout out Katelyn & Nicole for keeping our appointment. I got married 3.21 - in a small backyard ceremony rather than the larger event I’d planned (thanks COVID19) - & even though a ton of things fell apart that week, I felt like a million bucks in my own skin thanks to the ladies at Willow. ❤️

Beautiful hair that held up to the elements

Kaitlyn was phenomenal. She did both my hair and makeup along with the bridal party. She was super sweet and didn’t just do great hair and makeup but also helped to calm a frankly very nervous bride on the verge of a meltdown for no reason. She made me look stunning on my big day and was honestly just a delightful person to spend time with on my big day. Her airbrush makeup was gorgeous and lasted the entire night even with lots of dancing and “glistening” on my part. Couldn’t have asked for a better stylist for our day!

Made my Wedding Day!!

I was looking for someone to do my hair and makeup last minute for my wedding, I think it was around 2 weeks before. I looked everywhere and finally found Willow! They were able to get me in for hair AND makeup, they knew I was stressed about the time crunch and was did not have time to travel down for a trail (I would be out of town finishing up the semester). They worked with me over the phone/email to figure out the look I wanted for my wedding way and it turned out PERFECT even without the trial! I felt like a real life princess, these artists (which is what they really are!) made me feel as pretty as a picture! They even let my bridesmaids comedown and watch! Amazing experience and I cannot recommend them enough!

Dia and Katelyn know how to style

Willow was amazing!! We had Katelyn for makeup and Dia for hair. Both the girls were on time and had everything set up quickly. All the bridesmaids and mothers looked amazing. Katelyn nailed my "natural" look and Dia knocked it out of the ball park with my updo. It lasted all night long! These girls are awesome and would totally recommend them!

Sabra and her team were amazing! Even though I had not had many of my girls signed up for makeup, of course they wanted it when they got there. Somehow Sabra was able to fit everyone in and was very happy to do it as long as she could get us out on time, and she did. One of her team members was about to have a baby, and she was a rockstar. She stood all day and did amazing hair. Cannot say enough about how friendly and talented they are. They were also the best price in the area, believe me, I researched a long time.

Cannot say enough about Sabra and Nicole! They were absolutely perfect for our hair and make-up team on our wedding day! They had everyone ready on time with time to spare so we could relax and enjoy the day. Everyone looked gorgeous and we received soo many compliments because of their amazing work. Thank you so much and I highly recommend them for your wedding day beauty team!

Sabra and Jade did my rehearsal dinner and wedding hair and makeup - I could not have asked for a better duo! My makeup and hair were flawless for both occasions and they were so accommodating the morning of my wedding. My bridesmaids, mother and grandmother basically took over the salon and our hair and makeup were done so quickly that we still had time to relax. I have been going to Willow for years and I'm so sad to be moving away - I will miss the ladies of Willow so much!

For my wedding day, Jade and her team did a wonderful job on the myself, my bridesmaids and mother of the bride. They are quick, efficient and do really unique hair styles. I would highly recommend Willow Salon for fresh hair styles for your wedding!
