    Great Hair and makeup

    Kristen was GREAT! I opted to do a trial and I didn’t love how I looked after ,but Kristen was SO helpful and able to make changes so it was exactly the look I wanted. She was able to offer me a second trial at no cost and she listened to everything I wanted or didn't want. I honestly have never felt so beautiful in my life. My hair and makeup looked stunning and lasted throughout the night! Kristen and her team were punctual and quick and got everyone ready according to our timeline!

    The perfect team for the perfect look on your big day!

    I cannot recommend Sonar Beauty enough for the perfect glam for your wedding! Kristin and Erin were absolute professionals, and made the whole getting ready process so fun and stress free. They were responsive, flexible, creative, and diligent in their work. They are both insanely talented at their craft and awesome humans in general. They did my bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for my 4 bridesmaids and mother and grandmother. Everyone was obsessed with the looks they gave us! Could not have been better. Book them as your glam squad for the big day and I promise you will not regret it!

    Easy to Work With + Talented Stylists!

    The Sonar Beauty team was amazing! Our original wedding had to be moved because of the pandemic, but Kristan was so easy to work with to reschedule. Their stylists Rachel and Ivette did an amazing job doing hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and were a joy to have and laugh with as we got ready for the big day!

    Perfect Hair and Make-Up

    Sonar Beauty was wonderful to work with! They did hair and makeup for myself (the bride), as well as all 5 of my bridesmaids. We received so many compliments on the hair and make-up. I felt beautiful, and they really listened to what I was looking for. The team at Sonar Beauty was even able to work with me when I had a change of heart for my look. They were able to execute flawlessly and create the look I had exactly in mind. I am so thankful that I was able to work with them on my wedding day. I highly recommend Sonar Beauty to any bride.

    Hair and Makeup - exact to specifications

    I used Sonar Beauty for hair and make-up for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and sister of the bride. We had the salon as well which was very convenient and super cute place to get ready! Felicity did all airbrush makeup which looked absolutely flawless on all of us (age range 30 - 68 years old). It looked natural and held up all day! Ashley did all our hair and she did a fantastic job! I gave her an impossible hairdo which she made my hair look amazing! It had braids every which way, and I'm not even sure how she did it, but it looked impeccable! My bridesmaids as well as family’s hair also looked stunning! And I can say that Ashley matched each photo spot on! I would recommend to anyone! All my bridesmaids and family were extremely happy with their hair and makeup and even tried to book them again for future weddings. I asked for a more natural boho vibe, but considering how spot on they both were, I’m confident they could do anything! It was by far my favorite make-up and hair that I have had done!

    Bridal Hair and Makeup

    Our stylists arrived right on time and finished all of our hair and make up with plenty of spare time. I had a half-updo with a fishtail braid on the side and curls and my make up was simple. I LOVED it! I received plenty of complements since my looked very natural and clean.

    Supportive, Efficient, and Loving Atmosphere! LOVED My Experience!

    I am so happy with the service that Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook provided. My husband and I were part of the barrage of engaged couples that postponed their wedding (numerous times) due to COVID-19. As a result, we lost a few vendors along the way including my the stylists for my hair & makeup. I was able to contact Sonar Beauty within a month & a half of our wedding and get fit in incredibly quickly. They were also so supportive of me bringing my mom, despite her having her hair done elsewhere and her asking to do her own makeup (by herself) at Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook. They knew instinctively what I needed to make my wedding day perfect and they absolutely kicked butt.

    Here are the hardcore deets: my hair & makeup was AMAZING and everything I could have ever wanted. They were so sweet to my mom, which just made the start of my wedding day even more perfect. I would come back here again to get my hair & makeup done for any event AND I recommend coming here period. Do it. Stop reading reviews and wondering. Just do it.

    Thank you so much, from all facets of our hearts.

    Great bridal & bridesmaid services!

    We rented out Sonar Beauty Bridal Nook for me and my 9 bridesmaids to get hair and makeup done for my wedding. We had 4 artists, and they all were fantastic. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and they made everyone feel comfortable. The space is super cute and we appreciated not having to squeeze into a hotel room to get ready. Would highly recommend Sonar for your wedding!

    Amazing Up-DO

    I tried a few different places in Austin for my hair and make up trial and Sonar was by far the best. I had a natural look, not over done and an amazing up-do. People at the wedding could not stop complimenting my hair. My stylist also made my bridesmaid look amazing and natural. I highly recommend Sonar for bridal and bridal party hair/make up.

    Sonar Beauty Salon and Bridal Nook's reply:

    Thank you so much Shelley. I really appreciate the kind words, and we are so happy you had a great experience.

    Made my wedding day that much easier.

    Sonar Beauty Salon was a pleasure to work with. I booked them from out of town and was able to schedule everything over the phone. Elena was our stylist for the day, and she was so great to work with. Elena listened to what I wanted and made me feel like a beautiful bride.

    Last-minute bride super happy!

    Kristan was an absolute dream to work with. I had an odd request - early morning style for a 10:30am private ceremony that needed to last through the night for a break in the afternoon and a 6pm-11pm reception. I had a couple of inspiration photos but honestly didn’t really know what I wanted and was just worried about my super fine hair holding style all day. She got creative and worked her magic and it turned out perfect. We didn’t do a trial beforehand.

    I also contacted Sonar really close to my wedding date after last-minute deciding I couldn’t do my hair myself and they worked with me to get me and my officiant in for styles super early on a Saturday morning with a smile on their faces. So professional and accommodating!

    Elena and Rachel are the BEST!

    Elena and Rachel came to the rescue after my original hair / make up lady broke our contract and cancelled on me and my bridesmaids. Elena was so fast and did a wonderful job on my matron of honor and sister in laws hair. She also did the makeup for m matron of honor and did an amazing job and nailed the look my matron of honor was trying to achieve. Rachel worked her magic on me and did an amazing job on my hair and makeup she took her time and ensured I looked flawless. She even packed me a make up touch up kit for the evening, so I would look gorgeous all day and night thru the reception. I can't say enough about these two, they make a great team and everyone at the wedding commented on how stunning me and my bridal party looked all evening!

    Perfect hair and makeup

    Sonar beauty was fantastic. Kristan was able to create the perfect look with very little direction. She worked quickly and efficiently. The hairdo help up for multiple hours and the makeup stayed put even in the Texas heat.

    Thank you so much!

    Cute/Chill Salon with Great Service

    My bridesmaids and I had the best time hanging out at Sonar Beauty Salon before my wedding. Kristen was a dream to work with. She listened attentively to my feedback during the hair and makeup trial and honored the fact that I'm not a big makeup gal by creating a flawless natural look. On the day of the wedding, she was relaxed and laidback which created a calm atmosphere. She also worked incredibly hard and did multiple peoples hair and makeup in a crazy efficient amount of time. Our hair and makeup looked stunning and held up all night at my outdoor wedding on a 95 degree summer day. The salon itself was adorable and comfortable. We brought lunch/champagne and lounged on the cute back patio and indoors in the intimate seating area. We really enjoyed our experience hanging out at the salon and felt glam throughout the evening thanks to our beautiful makeup and hair service!

    Excellent hair/makeup service!

    Sonar Beauty was a joy to work with. From the initial booking process all the way to the day of the wedding, communication was a breeze and I felt updated and informed the entire way through. Julie was excellent in addressing all of my booking concerns/needs. My stylists for the wedding day were Chelsea and Felicity, and they were both very professional while also being a ton of fun to work with. They were very respectful of my/my bridesmaids' requests and provided a lot of great hair/makeup tips moving forward :) I was a bit nervous the day of my wedding because I had been unable to book a trial hair/makeup run, since I do not live in the area. However, both stylists assured me that they had my back and I could not have been more satisfied with the service that they provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with Sonar Beauty if you are in the Austin area.

    Extremely Talented Wedding Team

    We didn't get a chance to do a trial look as I live in Seattle, but these ladies were so professional and extremely talented. We just showed them our dress and told them what we wanted and they delivered to perfection! Everyone felt so confident and so beautiful all night and our picture look amazing!

    Feeling like a princess

    From the trial to the day of I felt extremely pampered and taken care of by my Sonar Beauty team. I know nothing about hair and makeup. When I went in with one pinterest photo of a hair style and said I wanted simple but beautiful makeup it was like they read my mind without me having the thoughts. I had a few comments after the trial that were effortlessly included the day of my wedding. The stylists were efficient and fun! My whole bridal party loved the whole experience. I highly recommend Sonar Beauty!

    Amazing, super agile, friendly staff and service

    Kristan and the team at Sonar Beauty were thoughtful, timely, super professional and agile with my ever-changing plans. Kristan did a GREAT job during the trial, and when, at the last minute, I requested a darker lip on the day of, she didn't break a sweat. I would recommend these guys again and again and again - they did an AMAZING job and I was so so glad to have such professional work on my big day!

    Lovely, professional, just right

    Kristen and Jaclyn did a fabulous job getting our bride and bridal party polished and photo ready on our big day. We had heat, humidity, rain and then cold temps to deal with throughout the day but hair and make-up looked awesome all day. Wedding days are stressful and a little like putting together a one day circus. So much to do, so many moving pieces, and high expectations. Kristen and Jaclyn made sure everyone looked and felt like the best version of themselves. They were on time, professional, skilled, and flexible. 100% recommend.

    Rachel did my hair and make up for my wedding and I was SO impressed! I don't wear make-up and I am super picky. I usually hate it when I get my make-up done, but figured I should probably do it on my wedding day for pictures. I was so so so happy with my make-up on my wedding day. I looked just like a more special version of myself. She kept it natural looking and highlighted my features. It was exactly what I wanted. My mom also got her make-up done by Rachel because she was so impressed with her. My mom looked awesome as well! I would choose her over and over again. I wish Rachel could do my make up every time I have a special event!
