    AMAZING experience!

    Michelle is outstanding. She went above and beyond for me. I was pretty self conscious about my hair being in a updo with the amount of postpartum hair i have and she made them practically non existent! I haven’t felt that beautiful in such a long time. Highly recommend A Cut Above for your special day!!

    Incredible team

    Michelle and her team are amazing workers. They are detail oriented and work with your vision. I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done for my own elopement. As well as being in a bridal party where a cut above did the hair and makeup. Both time I was incredibly impressed with their work.

    Fantastic, flexible, affordable service

    Michelle was such an important part of my wedding day! She worked with my picky hair requests and my wedding party and I had such a good time the day before with practice hair. She was able to come right to the room we were getting ready and took care of my hair amongst the chaos! Thank you so much Michelle!

    A Great Team!

    Working with the crew at A Cut Above was a wonderful experience for our Oct 17 wedding. Michelle was incredibly patient with me as we rescheduled our original plans due to COVID-19, and helped make sure everything was in order for our big day. Jenna and Destinee were not only skilled hair & makeup artists, but they also helped keep my nerves at bay on the day of! My party loved chatting for them and felt very pampered at the experience they had!

    These amazing women at A Cut Above are just that amazing. I sent them pictures of what the girls wanted for their hair styles and make up and it was executed beautifully. I highly recommend them for your wedding hair stylist and makeup.

    Great Experience

    Our wedding was a destination wedding to upstate New York. Not being from the area I was nervous about my hair & make up. I found A Cut Above Salon on weddingwire & I couldn’t be happier. Michele was fantastic from start to finish. We did a practice run in July & not only did she do my hair but, she helped with suggestions for lodging & local dry cleaner. Michele always responded to my emails/text messages within 20 minutes. I was provided a schedule for the girls approximately 2 weeks ahead of time. Michele & Jenna arrived at the Tailwaters Lodge on time & went right to work. They were both fun & flexible with our groups shenanigans. We were even able to add on eye lashes for everyone & an extra persons make up. I would definitely use A Cut Above again for a special occasion.

    A Cut Above Full Service Salon's reply:

    Thank you so much for hiring us, Nicole! You were wonderful to work with and your group including your two dogs were a lot of fun!

    Jenna and Ashley did hair and makeup for our wedding and were absolutely amazing! They were super friendly and accommodating, and everyone looked beautiful! The salon was very flexible when I had to change my pretrial appointment and Michelle was very communicative to make sure I was 100% happy with my bridal look. I would highly recommend contacting A Cut Above for your event!

    Amazing stylists!

    This past weekend, I had Destinee and Jenna, from A Cut Above Salon, do my hair and makeup for my wedding and was so pleased. They arrived early so they had time to set up and were prepared to start on time. Destinee did an absolutely amazing job on my makeup! I was so happy with how it turned out and she was so sweet and listened to all of my requests. Jenna did my hair and my bridesmaid's hair and we were both thrilled with how it turned out. She made sure everything stayed in place and took her time making our hair look so beautiful! Thank you so much to these girls, they were amazing! I would recommend 100%!

    So attentive

    Michele and her team were absolutely wonderful!!! We actually went to the salon three times! We had a great time getting mani's and pedi's twice before the wedding. The day of the wedding the team was totally dedicated to our bridal party! We all had our make up and hair done. They listened to us and did exactly what we wanted. Everyone looked beautiful!!

    Excellent experience!

    Covid 19 has made planning a wedding a challenge but my vendors have been awesome and A Cut Above was one of them! Michelle was very understanding when my appointment went from a full bridal party to just me, my mother and mother in law. The team did so well with our hair and make up. They were able to do my hair exactly how I wanted it with just looking at a few pictures I took from Pinterest. I have already scheduled with A Cut Above for next year when we do our bigger celebration/vow renewal!

    Mother of Bride

    My daughter got married 12/7/2019. The crew from A Cut Above traveled to our venue(The Tailwater Lodge) to do hair and makeup for myself, the bride, and the bride crew. They arrived promptly with all the gear they needed in tow. The were friendly, efficient and kept the atmosphere relaxed. It was like having extra gal pals hanging out. Everyone looked beautiful. It was a great start to a perfect day. Thank you so much ladies!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Amazing service by an amazing team! We needed a team last minute(two months before wedding) and thankfully A Cut Above was available! They made the day go as smooth and relaxing as possible with everyone's quality hair and makeup being done in under 3 hours! I could not have asked for a better team to come in for our wedding day!

    Everyone looked beautiful

    Beyond happy to have found this salon. Michelle and her staff are all incredibly talented and everyone that had hair and make-up done (12 people!) looked absolutely stunning. 4 stylists/artists travelled to the hotel, which was incredibly convenient for us, making the morning stress-free and Michelle was very accommodating and easy to work with planning it all. 100% recommend!

    Amazing in every way!

    I can not say enough wonderful things about the ladies at A Cut Above! They traveled 45 minutes to my home to get everyone ready. They listened to every request, were professional, kind, and easy to talk to! The best part was they came to us! No worries about getting all my bridesmaids to a salon on time because A Cut Above came to us!!! They made all of us feel our best. All of my bridesmaids were happy even the makeup guru and never-ever wears makeup bridesmaids!

    Airbrush Makeup

    We had the most wonderful experience working with Alesia from A Cut Above. She was right on time, and worked quickly but efficiently with each girl. I was so amazed at the transformation she did for me that I actually cried when I looked in the mirror! I felt so pampered and gorgeous and would recommend her services to anybody.

    Michelle and her team were amazing to work with! During the whole process they were very conscientious that we liked our hair and makeup, frequently showing us how it was going and making sure we were happy. It was all exactly how we wanted it! I also had a large scar I wanted covered for the big day. Michelle had me come in early to work with Samantha (who is awesome) to find the best way to cover it. She spent 2 hours trying so many different ideas to make sure I was truly happy! They were so kind and professional the entire experience. I couldn’t be happier!

    Michelle and her team at A Cut Above did an amazing job making my bridal party and family look gorgeous for my wedding day. She traveled all the way to Cazenovia, NY, brought Mimosa’s, and a fruit tray! She and her team were very professional and were able to do 9 bridal up-do’s and 5 make-up applications all by 1 pm! Not only did we all look amazing but the make-up and hair stayed put on a very hot and humid day, and survived hours of dancing! I cannot thank Michelle, Jessica, and Alysia enough for their hand in making my wedding day beautiful! ~Nina

    Planning a semi-destination wedding four hours away was difficult because I was not familiar with any of the vendors in the Finger Lakes, NY region. I had to go solely based off of reviews of previous brides from wedding websites. I had requested on-site services at our venue. Michelle and her team arrived on time and were all setup and ready to go for us at the time we had agreed on. Michelle even surprised us with mimosas! Michelle and her team did an amazing job on myself and my entire bridal party. All of the bridesmaids, mothers and myself were thrilled with how our hair/makeup came out! I could not believe how gorgeous everyone looked. Many guests also complimented on how amazing the bridal party looked. The bridal party was also given their lip gloss, so we could re-apply as needed. I am so glad I went with A Cut above Salon for my wedding. I would highly recommend Michelle & her team!

    Planning my Lacona, NY wedding from Charlotte, NC, I was going in blind. I had never heard of A Cut Above, had a trial, or anything. I cannot say enough about Michelle and her team. She was in constant contact with me, and made sure everything was as I wanted it. The morning of my wedding, my bridesmaids and I went over to the salon, and were met with so much enthusiasm and the girls took instant care of us. They also didint mind that my mom tagged along to join the fun! Michelle checked with me during every step of my hair to make sure it was exactly what I wanted, and my makeup was beautiful. I highly recommend these girls, and thank you for making me wedding beautiful!!

    A Cut Above Salon recently did hair and makeup for the whole bridal party for my April wedding. Michelle and the whole team did a very wonderful job! Not only where they on time, they were ready and waiting when we arrived in the room. They drove over an hour, one way, in an ice storm! They gave us such professional and dedicated service, a real value for the money. I highly recommend them to anyone!

    I recently received the airbrush makeup service and had an up-do done for a wedding I was in. The hair stylists and makeup artists were amazing. The entire staff was so friendly, offering a fruit platter and mimosas as we got ready. It was the perfect atmosphere for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready and pampered the morning of her big day! They took care of every detail and were extremely professional. I would recommend them to anyone and will most likely be utilizing them for my upcoming wedding next year!

They are so much fun, so very professional and talented. I would highly recommend their salon for any function. Thank you again!! Lisa DeBois

    I don't even know where to start, you MADE my Wedding day absolutely Amazing!!!! A day I'll never FORGET!!! You took ALL the pressure off starting with hair and make up. That's all my husband hired Michelle to do. She then exceeded EVERY possible expectation by steaming dress to be perfect, music for ceremony, pictures through out from beginning to end, dressing me, carrying dress and flowers over by ⛴ (ferry) AND best of ALL Face Timing my family with my phone from New York BOLDT Castle to Wilsonville ALABAMA so they could watch ceremony. She made an AMAZING Wedding Coordinator and only hired to do hair and makeup!!!!!! I can't THANK YOU enough !!! Your made my WEDDING DAY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! Michelle lives up to the name "A cut above"!! Way above!

    Michele and her team were AMAZING to work with! For months in advance, Michele worked with me to sort out every little detail to make sure that me and my bridal party were not just satisfied but in love with our looks. I was a nervous bride and brought up all of my insecurities about my appearance to Michele. For each insecurity, Michele was supportive and found creative solutions to make me the beautiful bride I thought I couldn't be. Michele and her salon were always able to get me and my party in very promptly (and boy did I frequent the salon a lot!) and got back to me within a couple hours at most if I had any questions or ideas. The morning of my wedding they were on-site promptly and worked fluidly and professionally to get us all ready: they did everyone's hair do's, manicures, makeup, and false lashes. They constantly checked with us to make sure we liked what they were doing and corrected anything we wanted changed down to a single fly away hair or how heavy the pigment of our eyeshadow was. The salon's prices were unbeatable and was worth every penny and more. If you're considering using A Cut Above Salon for your beauty services, look not further, because they are perfect!

    The cut above team was absolutely amazing and the best makeup and hair I could’ve chosen for me and my bridal party. The makeup was absolutely stunning as well as the hair. They were super kind and loved how at ease they all helped us feel. Definitely the best choice I could’ve made for my wedding.

Fun to work with, very professional, and did all of us so quickly so we could get out the door! They traveled to Buffalo for us and we are so grateful! We received so many compliments. Thank you Jess and Michelle! We highly recommend your services!!

    I feel so grateful to have had Michelle and her team come do our hair and makeup for my big day. I was originally booked with someone else and never felt the warmth and excitement I did from Michelle. I was so lucky her team was available on such short notice, and where willing to travel to Hamilton NY.

    Her team was on time, professional, kind, and talented. Michelle checked in with me a couple times before the big day to go over styles and different ideas. I couldn't believe how intuitive she was with what I wanted, and how she was able to explain the different kinds of makeup and styles to someone who never wears makeup, without belittling me, or making me feel like I have to wear EVERYTHING to look pretty. Her entire team listened very carefully to what we wanted, and actually did what we asked adding in their professional expertise.

    We were a big group, 11 including myself, but Michelle and her team had us looking fabulous in a little over three hours. I was so happy with how everyone looked and would recommend A Cut Above Full Service Salon to anyone and everyone, they really did a fantastic job at a very affordable rate!

    I found Michele and A Cut Above by reading Yelp reviews and decided to give her a call for my March 2017 wedding. From our very first conversation it was clear that she was down to earth, professional, receptive, and just what I was looking for!
    The first time I came into the salon was for a spray tan before my Key West Bachelorette Party and I was greeted with a packet of 2-for-1 drink coupons to some of my favorite Key West bars!! AMAZING!
    About a month later I came in for my trial and I showed Michele a few pictures and a general idea of what I wanted... and when I mentioned "I'll probably have some flowers in my hair" she plucked a hydrangea from a vase and worked it right into the style! When I looked in the mirror I was SHOCKED at how perfectly she executed the idea of what I wanted. Truly impressive!!
    Then the day of the wedding... best day ever!... Michele and her team arrived on time and wasted no time getting themselves set up in the tornado that was our room... champagne in tow! I have some VERY picky gals in my group so I was so relieved that no one seemed to mind when they asked to have their hair re-done to meet their expectations!
    And then it was my turn... as soon as I sat down I became a nervous wreck!! Constantly needing to take breaks to chat with my girls, bark orders for someone to find my parents, shove some fries in my mouth, drink champagne... and when she was done with my hair I had a moment of insanity and decided I wanted it completely different!... which I hated! But through out all of this Michele kept me calm, never seemed annoyed and promptly gave me my original hair style which I LOVED.

    If you are looking for wedding hair and make-up, or just a welcoming professional salon, A Cut Above is the way to go!!! Thanks again Michele and Team!!

    I cannot say enough about the level of service I have received at A Cut Above. They got myself and my entire wedding party in on relatively short notice. I love that whenever I go in for a routine haircut, everyone is so friendly and courteous and they make sure I am 100% satisfied with my service. As for my wedding day, the owner Michelle made it her top priority to get us ready to our satisfaction for the day, and every stylist on the team contributed. Also they NAILED my hair and make up for the day. If I could have them airbrush my face every day I absolutely would. I would highly recommend A Cut Above for both routine hair care, coloring, brazilian blowouts and for special events. Any time in the future that I need to be made up for an event I will plan to book with them. Fabulous work!

    A Cut Above helped to make the bride, bridal party, and family look and feel fabulous for my friends big day. They came on time, bringing fruit for the bridal party to enjoy and got right to work. They were organized, efficient, and made sure that each girl loved her hair and makeup. The two women doing our hair took one style the bride liked and made it look unique and beautiful on each bridesmaid. All four women listened to what the bride and bridal party wanted and were willing to make any adjustments if necessary (there weren't many). They were all very nice and accommodating. We could not have been happier with their service!

    A Cut Above was great!

    Michelle from A Cut Above did hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding. She made it a memorable, personal and enjoyable experience. Both of my girls looked stunning and their hair and makeup lasted beautifully throughout the night. Michelle was responsive, professional, and organized throughout the process. I would highly recommend Michelle and her salon for your wedding day!

    Our experience was good

    We had a great experience with the salon. The owner was able to fit me in last minute, the week of my wedding, for a hair trial when I was feeling unsure of what I wanted. Our makeup was done perfectly. We did not want anything over the top as we do not wear a lot of makeup and it was just right!

    Great team, beautiful updos!

    I just had my wedding last week with a large wedding party - we did hair and makeup for 10 women and the team finished early! I was so happy with how everything looked. I completely forgot the morning of to ask one of the makeup team members to cover up some scarring I have - I called and she drove back to help. I am so thankful I chose A Cut Above. Their costs are reasonable, their team is so professional, and they managed to make us all feel comfortable and beautiful the day of my wedding. The airbrush makeup was flawless and updos were stunning (and remained intact!)

    Great people and so many compliments!!

    I had QUITE a hard time deciding or knowing what to do with my hair and makeup since I had never gotten it done before. And they were able to help me through the unknowns and help me come up with a great style I got SO many compliments on throughout the night. They make sure you get what you want and correct throughout the process when needed!

    I was coming in from out of town and Michelle was very responsive as we shared style ideas. We added a few late appointments and the team was able to fit everyone in on the day of. The added bonus of a fruit platter and champagne was great. The only tip I'd leave is to put a drop cloth down before the airbrush makeup. Unfortunately I got a big smudge on my dress as we did the dressing in the same room a the make up applications had been done and didn't notice the large overflow area on the carpet in time.
