    Wedding hair and makeup

    Chelsea and her team were a pleasure to work with! They were able to deliver exactly what myself and my bridal party wanted for hair and makeup. They were also a lot of fun! My girls all said the morning wedding prep was just like hanging with girlfriends. We had a lot of laughs and we all looked great!

    Great service!

    Chelsea and her team were professional and great to work with! With 12 people needing hair and makeup services I was not sure if it would be possible, but Chelsea made sure everything came together. Everyone was satisfied with how their hair and makeup turned out!

    End your search! This crew is amazing

    Chelsea and Heather did my and my family's hair and makeup for my wedding this past weekend. They were an absolute dream. I didn't have the availability to arrange a trial so this was a small leap of faith, but Chelsea was happy to chat with me on the phone about ideas. They sorted out a good timeline for the morning and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere for our getting-ready party. My sisters, friends, and mother looked great with their hair and makeup, and still looked like themselves, just elevated a little. I wasn't sure exactly what to ask for my hair. I was thinking braided style, but messier. I hadn't seen a photo of exactly what I wanted. Chelsea was undeterred and knew exactly what I wanted, even though I didn't know myself. She took the time to match my natural curl pattern and put my hair in the most beautiful braid I'd ever seen. Heather was so much fun to talk to and absolutely crushed the makeup. She hid my stress-induced blemishes and made me feel beautiful. I still looked like myself, just my bridal version. I can't say enough good things about this team.

    It's hard to put into words how grateful I am that I found the Salon 52 team. They seriously made my hair & makeup dreams come true - I have never felt more beautiful!

    So talented, so much fun!

    I hired Chelsea & Heather at Salon52 to do my wedding hair & makeup and I truly cannot say enough good things. They were extremely laid-back, so much fun to work with, and really knew what they were doing when it came to hair and makeup. I was pretty indecisive with what I wanted for my look and they were so incredibly patient as I came in for trial after trial, working through minor detail changes each time. They wouldn't stop until I was 110% in love with the look, and I can't thank them enough for that. It made all the difference to love my look, feel amazing, and be totally stress-free on my wedding day. Not only did they did they make me feel great, but they did an incredible job with both hair and makeup for my nine other girls! All the girls chose unique looks and were so happy with how they each came out. Many of them are now even using inspo pics of their hair & makeup from my wedding for other weddings/their own! We had so much fun hanging out with them all day too. They really helped minimize any stress and brought such a good vibe to the "getting ready" part of the day!

    Absolute perfection

    I had the absolute BEST experience with Chelsea and Heather on my wedding day!! My bridesmaids and moms were equally impressed and everyone looked absolutely amazing. They do such an incredible job making everyone look and FEEL beautiful. We had so much fun getting ready that it felt like they were part of the family. I cannot recommend them enough. Your wedding day will be better for having them on your team

    Best hair/makeup team!

    Chelsea and her team stood by me through two postponements during the COVID pandemic. They were extremely flexible and kind, helpful, and answered every question I had. On the big day, Chelsea, Heather, Lindsay, and Angela got everyone's hair and makeup done in a timely manner (not an easy feat for 10 people!) and everyone looked amazing.
    I appreciated that everyone looked natural and not too overdone. I was concerned about my skin and I also really appreciated Heather answering all my questions leading up to the big day and taking her time so I looked my best!

    Amazing! Can't wait to use for my big wedding!

    Chelsea was amazing to work with from the start! She's very responsive and answers all of your questions. I had originally planned to use her services for me and all of my bridesmaids for my large wedding but had to postpone due to COVID. She was able to be flexible and still style my hair for my "microwedding" this August. Due to COVID we weren't able to have a trial, but after showing Chelsea a few different pictures she totally nailed what I wanted! This was even more impressive because I am not usually the best at communicating exactly what I want when it comes to hair and makeup. Chelsea worked amazingly with my hair type and was so personable the whole time. She also rearranged her schedule so that she could be there early enough to do my hair. I cannot wait to use her for my "big wedding" next summer!

    Yes yes yes!

    Chelsea and Heather are the dream team! I am a COVID bride who had to reschedule to July 2021. They were so accommodating during that crazy time and easily moved their services to my new date. These two are not only professional and talented but are so much fun to be around. They are easy-going and kind while making sure you and your loved ones look beautiful. Each of my bridesmaids were able to select their own hair and makeup styles and Chelsea and Heather made everyone look and feel like a rock star. They also went above and beyond when at the last minute they accommodated my grandmother, who is undergoing chemo, and did her hair and makeup. Chelsea also has a background in working with wigs and easily styled my grandmother’s wig. I HIGHLY recommend Salon 52 for your wedding!!!

    Best decision ever!

    I CANNOT say enough amazing things about the team at Salon52. Chelsea and Heather were beyond wonderful both at my trial and on the big day! My wedding date was originally set for July and they were extremely flexible and understanding when I had to postpone to October due to COVID. When I went for my trial I was welcomed with open arms and left looking like an absolute goddess. I could not wait for the big day to hang out with them again. They even hyped me up in a group chat we had leading up to the wedding. (Mind you I had only met these ladies one month before.) On the day of, they arrived on-time and quickly moved through the 10 of us making sure every last detail was perfect. The hair and makeup lasted all day and night. If you book them for your wedding you will have nothing to worry about besides looking fabulous and having the best time on your big day!

    Beautiful work 😍

    These ladies are artists 😍 we used Salon 52 for my big day and received so many compliments. From the moment I met Chelsea at my hair trial, I knew she was going to kill it on my wedding day. She did such a beautiful job on everyone’s hair and it stayed put the entire night, even after a few windy moments. I’m super picky with my hair and have never liked how my hair has come out at formal events. I am in love with how my hair turned out. If you are looking for someone to do hit for your big day- do yourself a favor and hire the ladies at Salon 52. Thank you for everything !

    Wedding perfection

    Me and my family have used Salon 52 for 3 weddings now! I can’t compliment them enough!
    They are beyond professional, flexible, and kind. My wedding date and number of girls to doll up changed multiple times because of covid. Chelsea checked in with my throughout the summer, sending her kind words of encouragement. She reassured me that anything we needed she would be there. Her sister Heather’s makeup work is flawless- even having to wear a mask my makeup still looked perfect all night. Highly recommend!!

    Perfection

    Chelsea does my hair on a regular basis. Two months before the wedding I through her a curve ball and said I wanted to be blonde and I needed to order extensions. She helped me through every step, got my hair to the color I desired, all while making sure it said healthy and strong. Chelsea and her team are skilled, professional and all around wonderful to work with. I changed my wedding date and despite the craziness of Covid, there was never a breakdown in communication and I was always confident and made to feel supported. The day of the wedding they made everyone feel beautiful and heard and everyone was beyond happy with the results.

    Highly Recommend!!

    I had the most positive & amazing experience with Chelsea & her team! She did my hair for my 9/4 wedding as well as my bridal party’s. Given the limitations COVID presented, I was unable to have my hair trial with her prior to the wedding. This was very concerning to me because I could only show Chelsea the look I envisioned & hope for the best. Wow, did she deliver! For starters, every time I reached out to Chelsea via email she was so responsive & attentive to my concerns. I’ve never worn hair extensions before & my veil felt rather heavy so speaking to Chelsea beforehand gave me the reassurance I needed. On the day of the wedding, Chelsea & Danielle arrived on time- ready to make the day fun & as smooth as possible for the girls & I! Thank you Chelsea & Lindsay for giving me the voluminous glam look I was looking for! You guys are truly the absolute best!!

    Chelsea and her team are amazing! She is so easy going to work with and the sweetest. I decided to change the style I wanted after my trial and she easily got it done and I absolutely loved it! All of my bridesmaids were obsessed with their hair as well and received so many compliments! She is the absolute best, you will not be disappointed!

    Saved me from worst trial and rescued me with bridal beauty

    I came to this salon very late in the wedding game due to a previous trial going horribly wrong (they have the pics lol) and they saved me...I was so traumatized from previous trial, that I wouldn’t look in the mirror until it was totally done...they were so great and fun that I was quickly forgetting my nervousness and when the work was done I was blown away...I couldn’t believe how they did exactly what I wanted...I looked amazing...like myself but elevated by ten whole other levels...couldn’t stop looking in the mirror. Obviously the wedding went even better for everyone!!!

    Fantastic!

    I had an amazing experience at my wedding with studio 52. Everyone who got their hair and makeup done for my wedding looked like rock stars. Chelsea was really good with communication and knew exactly what I wanted based on a few photos and quick messages back-and-forth. Her sister and cousin were also fantastic- a really talented family. I would highly recommend them for any wedding.

    Obsessed - amazing!

    I booked Chelsea after reading reviews and reaching out to a few different vendors in the area. Although I didn't get to meet her until 1-2 months before my wedding, I am SO thankful I found her. Not only is she an amazing hair stylist but she is also the most genuine and funny person.

    When I went in for my hair trial, I showed her a few different photos of what kind of low bun I wanted and she explained the differences between the photos to help me distinguish what I was looking for. She told me which one I was going to end up wanting, but I was indecisive so she then went and tried every single style I showed her and took photos of each. Of course, her prediction from the start was right. She also suggested I added more volume to the front of my hair which I didn't want, but explained how each option would look in photos. Naturally, she was right on this one as well. In addition to the trial, she also took a look at my hair extensions (which I've been through the ringer with) to analyze how they had been done and made suggestions of what to do going forward.

    While I was there for the trial, I had mentioned how my makeup artist bailed on me three weeks before the wedding. I had found someone else through a friend, but she wasn't being super responsive so I was a little nervous. Chelsea said she would reach out to a few contacts and ensure that someone would be available day of just in case.

    Fast forward to day of, everyone was SO happy with their hair (I've been a bridesmaid several times and am typically not in love with what I end up with) - Chelsea made sure to listen to every detail of the bridesmaids requests and made sure everything was perfect before leaving. On top of this, she was just hilarious and friendly the entire time and made the morning of so much more enjoyable. I honestly wish I could've convinced her to stay and be a bridesmaid and lock her in as a forever friend lol. Overall, go with Chelsea for your big day!! Not only will you have fabulous hair, but you'll be so relaxed day of knowing you are in good hands with someone who truly has the brides best interest at heart.

    Amazing experience

    Chelsea and Heather were absolutely wonderful though out the entire process of my wedding preparation and the day of my wedding! I felt like I have known them for years! They paid such close attention to all the fine details and requests made. When I decided to pay for all of my girls hair and makeup Chelsea even offered me small gift cards stating it was a gift from me to give to them. The entire process with these ladies was amazing!

    My hair looked STUNNING!!

    Best experience ever!

    I want to start off with Chelsea herself. Chelsea is a beautiful woman, beautiful mother and beautiful soul. She listened to my concerns, gave me helpful recommendations, and just made sure that I would look my absolute best on my wedding day.
    Not only did Chelsea & Johnna do my Bridal hair, but they also did 7 Bridesmaids, 1 MOB, 1 MOG, & my sister-in-law. Each girl had specific hair styles they wanted, and Chelsea & Johnna executed it so perfectly. It can be difficult to match a hairstyle on Pinterest, but they were able to do that while flattering everyone's head shape. Seriously.. everyone's hair looked STUNNING, including MINE! I have very thick, black hair ... and those curls were rock solid while still receiving that natural romantic look that I hoped for. I received so many compliments!! I felt like a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE on my wedding day.

    Now for what the future brides want to hear:

    Pricing: in this competitive market, unique and flawless is definitely reasonable. The quality definitely exceeds her price.

    Flexibility: My Mom was so picky with her hair, especially because it is so short. My mom changed her hair style 2-3x, and not once did Chelsea give me or her a hard time. Chelsea wanted everyone to feel comfortable in their choice of hair, and never gave up on us until we felt beautiful. She took her time with each girl, and you were able to tell, because by the end of the night... our hair still looked flawless!

    Punctuality: My bridal party & I got ready at The Grand Hotel. Chelsea & Johanna arrived to the dressing room on time, and made sure each girl had their hair done on schedule, so we were ready for our photographer. They NEVER rushed! Chelsea even stayed longer during my photo shoot to make sure my veil was on correctly, and gave my bridesmaids tips to keep the veil sturdy for the ceremony.

    I highly recommend Salon 52 for your wedding. Thank you Chelsea & Salon52!!!!
