If I could give these ladies 100 stars I would!! My sister used Rhea back in 2016 for her wedding and I used her and the team again for my wedding in February 2024. Kelley is the best hair girl ever! I showed her my inspo pic and my dress at my first appointment before my bridal portraits and she absolutely delivered. She was such a joy to sit and talk with too, it was like we weren't even strangers and had been friends since childhood. She made me feel so comfortable the whole time and I cannot say enough great things about her! I will definitely be coming back to her for more help with future portraits! Also - my hair stayed all through dancing on the dance floor plus going out on Rainey after! (I even went down the slide at Unbarlievable and nothing fell ) my husband was incredibly impressed by the end of the night that it was still nearly perfect when he had to take all the Bobby pins out of my hair LOL Rhea!! She is the BEST. I'm not a make up guru or glam girl by any means and I've always struggled as a bridesmaid in past weddings bc I ask for a neutral look and it never turns out how I want or like. I'm a bare minimum make up girly, so I don't enjoy feeling cakey with a full face of makeup. Let me tell you - I asked for a neutral look that would still make me feel like a beautiful and she did amazing! I felt like I was glowing all day and night and I got so many compliments! Thank you to this amazing human that is so talented and helped make me feel like the most beautiful person in the room I'm not kidding when I say that I've had multiple people ask me who my hair and make up team was because they want to use them in the future. I'm a bridesmaid in an Indian wedding in September and will be working with these ladies again BOOK THEM IN ADVANCE!! They are way too good and will be booked if you wait too long! read more

The ladies at this salon did the hair and makeup for me, my daughter, bridesmaids, mother of the groom and a few others several weeks ago. I have never been complimented before by so many people on my hair and makeup, not only by people at the wedding, but also by friends seeing pictures and by total strangers at the venue for the reception! Highly recommend them. They are consummate professionals, taking with good grace the requests for last minute requests for their services. Several days before the wedding I got lost looking for the salon to have eyelash extensions and the woman who did them came to pick me up! When does that ever happen? Really terrific salon. read more

I signed up for a makeup lesson. It was not completely what I expected. I showed up and had all my make-up and brushes with me. I am glad I did this per what other reviewers said but it was never suggested by Adore. I explained I am not that great with eyes and just okay with lips. So the makeup artist showed me techniques and color pairings. I asked a lot of questions but never actually applied any makeup. In my head, I thought it would be more hands-on on my end. I walked away with some suggestions for items to add to my makeup and brush collection. I did purchase a few items that I really liked as well. read more

My makeup artist cancelled on me 2 weeks before my wedding, so I called Adore and they squeezed me (bride), MOB, MOG, MOH, and a grandmother in last minute by opening early, asking people to come in earlier, shifting things around. They were absolutely amazing! Great service and cared for all of us so well even though we were last minute additions! Also, as a bride who doesn't wear a lot of makeup or do my hair a lot, they totally understood how to make me feel like myself on my big day. Thank you thank you thank you! read more

Had a fabulous visit with Gina for make up to look gorg on tv. Wanted a neutral glam face and she nailed it, all my photos and shots were flawless and she made me feel so comfortable. A great space and friendly team. read more

I have NEVER received as good of customer service than I did with Adore when trying to make an appointment last minute. I emailed them a week prior to getting our family photos done and desperately pleaded for my daughter and I to get our hair done and my makeup done. I emailed them on a Sunday morning and they IMMEDIATELY emailed me back and told me they could do it! I was shocked. Replying to emails on a Sunday? This place must be amazing. Not only did they confirm they could do it on a Sunday, they also worked with my schedule and actually came in the next Sunday (today!) to do our hair and my makeup. I still can't believe these ladies took time out of their weekend to make sure my daughter and I looked beautiful for our photos! When we got there, both ladies made us feel at ease. They were extremely kind to my six year old daughter and chatted with her while they were blow drying her hair. She's quite the chatter box and has a hard time sitting still but they were SO kind and engaging with her. I was so shocked at their patience and kindness. My daughter has long hair and always wants to get her hair done "like Mommy" so we decided to get a blowout with curls. She looked absolutely beautiful when they were done with her hair. I almost cried but couldn't because I didn't want to ruin my makeup! My makeup looked AMAZING. She did such an amazing job. I never get my makeup done so when I do, I really really look forward to it. My eyebrows looked incredible and she did my makeup EXACTLY how I asked. It wasn't too dramatic but it definitely made a statement It was perfect. I have never felt more beautiful. And then let's talk about MY HAIR. Goodness! My hair looked exactly like the picture I showed her. That's never happened to me! I will always show a stylist a picture but they never get it right. Not only was this perfect AND it also didn't look like it had a ton of hairspray or product in it. It was exactly what I wanted. It was so important to me to look nice for our photos. We only take them once a year and it captures a beautiful moment in time with my family. Lastly, both ladies were very patient with my daughter which really blew my away. She's hyper, can't sit still and was in and out of the room frequently after she got her hair done. They were super relaxed about it and talked to her the entire time. I will NEVER go anywhere else for my makeup and hair needs. Thank you both so much for making this day magical for my family and me! read more

I chose Adore for my makeup and hair for our large wedding party. I've been a few times for special occasions, and was as equally impressed for our wedding day. We had a large bridal party, which they seamlessly organized to make it efficient and fun. They also accommodated a last minute add on! The artists were also incredible, and we all were happy with hair and makeup. Highly highly highly recommend!!! read more

I very rarely do reviews but, I can't say enough good things about Kelly and Michelle today. I'm in Austin just for the weekend attending a wedding. Adore has excellent customer service and worth the drive outside the city. Kelly is super friendly and perfect with my hair. Michelle's makeup is fantastic. I was looking for some covering up and hers is beautiful! I highly recommend Adore. Side note: Nearby Modern Market is great for a healthy breakfast or lunch! read more

I'm so glad that I went with Adore for hair and makeup for my wedding! Coordinating with Shirley went super smoothly, and as a result we got paired with Becky for hair and Michael for makeup. Both were absolutely wonderful to work with and did fantastic work! They did hair and makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids, our flower girl, and the mothers of the bride and groom. A lot of work for sure, but they did a great job on everyone. I was aiming for a more natural look in makeup, which Michael was able to deliver on beautifully. Becky did different hair fit for each of the ladies, and as a result everyone was comfortable and beautiful. Take into account the very reasonable pricing, and they can't be beat read more

recently attended a makeup lesson with Rhea, and it was an absolute blast! She was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience both educational and fun. From learning new techniques to experimenting with different products, every moment was engaging. The hands-on practice was especially enjoyable, allowing me to apply what I learned in real-time with expert guidance. The atmosphere was relaxed and supportive, making it easy to ask questions and try new things without any pressure. I left the lesson feeling confident and excited to use my new skills. Highly recommend to anyone looking to enhance their makeup game! read more

My makeup was great! It last me the whole night. The girls were really nice too from the minute I got there!

The Adore Beauty team did an incredible job working with me and my bridal party on the perfect looks for my wedding. Both Lauren and Terra did a fabulous job on our hair & makeup. Moreover they were fun, kind, and easy to work with. Terra and Lauren listened to me to create a flawless look and make me feel like the quintessential beautiful bride. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and effortless. However, my mother looked especially radiant. As a retired naval officer, my mom always look put together and nice, but seldom has an opportunity to get all dolled up. She looked stunning - just stunning. Thank you so much for being part of such a special day for us! read more

It is 1:45am on a Wednesday and I am the GROOM, and instead of sleeping I feel like it is more important that I tell you how awesome this Hair and Makeup service is. I obviously think my wife is the most beautiful person on the planet, but I can fully admit that my brain exploded out of my head when I saw her walking down the aisle. If this was the 1600's, this salon would be on high alert for witch trials because I still don't understand the witchcraft that was done with the Bobby Pins I pulled out my wife's hair for roughly 90 minutes. I don't understand hair and makeup well enough to talk objectively about the service, but I can say as a groom I straight up blacked out from joy when they opened those doors and I saw my wife walking down the aisle. read more

Kelsey, Shirley and Rhea are your go to ladies for wedding day services. I was working with Shirley from the coordination perspective and she is so quick to answer emails and provide guidance. I never waited more than 24 hours to get a response from her. I did a hair trial at their studio with Kelsey. I must admit that I am very picky and Kelsey made each tweak as requested and wanted me to leave there with full confidence. On the wedding day, it looked even more stunning than the trial day. She stayed on time and kept us girls laughing and had a great time. The entire team at Adore are professionals and they offer on-site services or you can go to their studio close to downtown. read more

Lauren did SUCH AN AMAZING JOB with my makeup tutorial (great Groupon deal). Oh my goodness I don't think I've ever looked so good haha She also did so well with explaining everything to me- every product, color, brush type, technique, etc. She wrote everything down - helped me narrow down what I wanted to purchase afterwards. Plus- she was just such a nice, honest person in general. It was a great experience- everyone should go! read more

Adore Makeup Boutique & Salon - Ready for my makeup lesson! - Makeup Artists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Five out of five stars! Hands down an amazing decision for our wedding hair and makeup. We worked with Perla, and I can't recommend it highly enough! She is amazing at doing hair and makeup that is impressive but still looks natural. She also had such a calm energy, which was much appreciated on what was otherwise such a busy day! read more

I love Adore salon so much! They helped me get ready for the wedding of my dreams. However, I still go see Rhea every few months. She is AMAZING at microblading and since I used Adore for my wedding, I get a discount on my microblading. Rhea is the nicest human being!!! Even when I met her, she is so welcoming and kind. Just overall a beautiful human inside and out! read more

Adore Makeup Boutique & Salon - Makeup Artists Near Me - Austin, Texas

The owner is the sweetest person who is the best for micro blading eyebrows. If I ever need this service, which I might soon, Rhea is who I would choose! Fabulous hair & makeup artists and makeup lessons as well. read more

After deciding not to do my own hair and makeup for my elopement in Austin, I took to Yelp for a salon that could do both, for a REASONABLE price. I found Adore and was not disappointed. I booked online for hair and makeup, with no trial, as I was coming in from Houston and didn't have time. I showed them several makeup options I liked and it was executed perfectly. The ladies finished me up in the time promised which was amazing considering I had a morning ceremony, on the day after the 1st snow in 6 years. Roads were closed and I was a little nervous about the timetable but the ladies got it done beautifully. If you want great hair and makeup done in Austin, check them out! read more

Gorgeous salon and makeup studio with high end products. Building from outside is underwhelming which makes "Adore" a jewel and an awesome find. Plenty of free parking. I was greeted warmly and offered a beverage and made to feel right at home. I needed hair and makeup for a corporate photoshoot and looked fabulous and professional and not overdone. This place is not just for brides! read more

Hair and makeup are a huge piece of a bride's big day, and I am so, so glad I chose Rhea and Adore to do mine. I had a loose vision of what I wanted to look like for my wedding, but Rhea and Sarah helped me nail down a specific look through an easy and fun trial, as well as lots of photo and inspiration sharing. They were both sweet, professional and SO FREAKING talented! I wanted an enhanced natural look (I wanted to look like me, not super glam), and they both nailed it. I wish they could be my beauty squad every day, because I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. (And I think my 7 bridesmaids would say the same about how they felt!) Thank you, thank you Adore Salon! read more

Every experience I've had at Adore has left me feeling amazing! Rhea has done my brows- she is a true artist! I was so impressed with the whole experience- incredible professionalism and cleanliness (cleaner than any tattoo shop I've been to!), and Rhea has an easy way of making her guests feel comfortable, beautiful, and fully seen. I am ready for a touch up and can't wait to go back! I've also had amazing experiences with makeup and hair. The sweet shop just feels good to be in. I would highly recommend Rhea and anyone she trusts for anything beauty related! These ladies are true professionals! I prefer a really minimal natural look and felt totally supported and counseled when I went in for makeup advice. The team is versatile and always learning and growing- I love that! Check out Adore! read more

My friends know that I am not the type to spend money on "enhancements" like acrylic nails or hair extensions. I've always been pretty low-maintenance; so much that I won't even highlight my hair because I can't keep up with it. But, I saw that Adore was doing discount eyelash extensions for Austin Beauty Week and I decided to give it a shot. I really dislike how messy mascara is, and thought that if I could remove that from my makeup routine that my life might be a little more pleasant. Turns out, "pleasant" is an understatement. Keli did a FANTASTIC job on my lashes, which look natural but simultaneously "almost too amazing to be natural," if you know what I mean. A co-worker stopped dead in the middle of a sentence about work just to tell me my eyelashes were incredible. She had no idea that Keli had worked her magic! The prices are honestly some of the best I've ever seen. Refills for a Baby (half) set are only $30, which is a big relief to me as it's a price point that I actually feel comfortable paying every 2 weeks. Other places will charge you nearly twice that much! If your natural lashes are lacking, or if you just hate mascara as much as I do, stop suffering with blasé eyes and make an appointment with Keli ASAP! read more

I went to see Alex today, using the Groupon for one eyebrow shaping session. She rocked my brows! The waxing was completely painless and she talked with me about how to keep and enhance their natural shape. My eyebrows have seriously never looked better! She thoroughly answered my questions about brow pencils and powders, and gave me a few to try at the makeup table. I'll be going back to only her from now on! The space is clean, inviting, and comfortable. I recommend it to everyone! read more

Very rarely do I see all 5-star reviews and believe each and every one of them (I mean, there's got to be something someone didn't like, right?)... But Adore deserves every single one! I visited Adore to check out their new Make-up Bar (more info: http://ow.ly/iZBnQ) and Rhea gave me "The Glow" (plus add-ons of a little airbrushing and lashes for a total of about $75). My make-up was BEAUTIFUL and the application process was flawless (Rhea's years of experience are definitely evident in her application - and she trains everyone for continuity and quality control). I also loved everything else from the vintage-glam decor to the safe, healthy make-up products (all-natural, paraben free) to the friendly, nurturing staff. Rhea is very obviously the "salon mommy" who cares for her staff in the same way she cares for her clients; together, they all create a very comforting and nurturing atmosphere. During my application, Rhea made sure to get to know me and apply the make-up in the best way to make me feel the most beautiful and be able to duplicate later, if I wanted (the make-up bar "looks" are a guide... Not cookie-cutter applications they stick on everyone, but instead are customized for each individual). She also went above and beyond to teach me ways to improve my own techniques. At the end of the service, she even told me to feel free to contact her any time via cell phone with any and all make-up questions. Talk about full-service! And all of this for a very affordable price (Senior artist: $50; staff artists: $40). I would recommend Adore to anyone for any of their make-up, hair or lash needs. Not only are they professional and extremely skilled, but they go above and beyond to create the perfect client experience! And they succeed with flying colors! read more

As a girl who is still learning how to do anything with her hair, I can always count on Chancy Cone to make my hair look gorgeous in any situation! I have been having her color my hair for the past couple of years and I'm never disappointed! I've had other hair stylists comment that whoever does my hair knows what she's doing, and I would agree. I love that my highlights always look natural, well blended and that Chancy knows just how to transform my dull, muddy-blonde hair into a beautiful medium-light honey blonde! Recently, I have also been visiting her for blow-outs and once again she does a great job. I drop by and in no time she has me looking like a model. I definitely recommend Chancy for any hair needs and love that I finally have someone who I can trust to style my hair. I look forward to the day when I can hire her to do my hair at my wedding! read more

This review is LONG overdue! Rhea and her team at Adore have been doing my hair and makeup since my wedding 5 years ago where they came onsite to do makeup for my entire wedding party (and people still talk about how much they loved their makeup that day). They are just FANTASTIC!! I have 3-4 events a year where I can totally relax and put myself in their hands for hair and makeup. They are absolute professionals: considerate of time, experts at their jobs; and to top it off, they are all just such good people. No catty gossip & pretension in this salon...I feel like family every time I walk through the door. They ALWAYS do a flawless, amazing job. Rhea has also been micro-blading for years now. While I have thick eyebrows already, I have patches/areas where the brows just won't grow back (too many bad wax jobs in my twenties;) She recently added a service called Microblading Fill-In for people who have naturally fuller brow hair but have some sparse areas or need them to be even/etc. Let's just say I'm a bit of perfectionist...but that's why I love Rhea...because she is more of one than I am with her work! I LOVE the results she was able to achieve and I had no pain because she does a double-numbing process! In a one hour appointment, she filled in my sparse areas and gave my brows more defined shape with such a NATURAL look. She is a true artist in everything she does! This salon is truly THE BEST in Austin. If you're looking at reviews to choose someone for your wedding, do yourself a favor and book them EARLY! If you're like me a just want some natural definition added back to your brows, go see Rhea at Adore. You won't regret it!! read more

Adore Makeup Boutique & Salon - Microblading Fill-in 4 days after service - Makeup Artists Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was referred here by my roommate. She gave me their number and said that they usually don't answer the phone - apparently there is no receptionist - but they will call you back fairly quickly. This was definitely the case for me! Rhea called me back in less than 10 minutes! I can appreciate that they don't have a person dedicated to the phones, but it would be a problem if I didn't get a fairly quick call back. So, good job guys! I scheduled an appt with Kelli to get my eyebrows done. I was able to get an appt for the next day at a convenient time for me without any problem. When I got there, Kelli took time to TEACH me how to maintain the wax for a little longer. I thought this was pretty awesome. 1. I can keep them looking good for longer. And 2. She is confident in her skills that its ok to share some tips! So, we went over that, how to shape them, where appropriate marking are, etc. Then she waxed them. She really look a lot of time to make sure they were perfect, and they were! Definitely will keep coming here! The only drawback is the parking. There's about 6 spots right in front, but they are kind of on top of each other. When I went, it was a bit later and they weren't too busy, so I didn't have a problem. When they are busier, I could see that being more of a problem, but it's still manageable. They do hair and makeup too. I'm excited to try those services as well! I'm so glad I found these guys! They really are a one-stop shop! A++ read more

Kate has been my hairdresser for years and she is now at Adore. Love love love her. I let her do whatever she wants to my hair and always have "sassy" hair when we're done. Rhea did my makeup the other day gratis and I was smoldering and smoky hot for my boyfriend. Highly recommend you check her out and definitely take a look at her products. She has a foundation that is foolproof and goes on like silk. I decided to see Alex for my brows. My eyebrows are horrible and she is coaching me through the transition to a new look. She's great and I recommend you check her out if you are looking for someone to treat your brows right! All in all, Adore is a friendly, wonderful place to go to look your best! read more

Rhea and her team are seriously fantastic! From every single step in the process, she was communicative, understanding, kind, and professional. As someone who does not wear makeup often, I was nervous that I wouldn't know how to express how I wanted to look on the big day. I talked with Rhea about the features that I liked best about my face and myself, and I showed her pictures of times when I felt like the makeup that I had done myself looked awesome. She made my favorite features shine, and she was able to keep my look on my wedding day true to me. Rhea works with a phenomenal team. She is well known and very well liked in the community. She loves what she does, and she's damn good at it! If you're on the fence, go with Adore! read more

i absolutely "adore" these ladies! I originally had my trial scheduled with a woman who was ultimately let go form the company. In return, Rhea offered to do my make up at the same rate, and even did my trial for free. It was perfect! I am a person that likes to look fresh/natural, and it was really important that I felt like an enhanced version of myself on my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Rhea fell sick and had to send someone in her place. I was worried (as any bride would be at first), but the artist (Iforget her name now!) did a spectacular job. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

From a recommendation I booked Rhea to do make-up for my head shots. She knew exactly what to do. I came away with a lovely, even but natural look that worked perfectly for the photos. As she was working on me, she would even give me advice because she knew I'd have to recreate some of the look myself. Also, she is just genuinely a kind person and obviously puts her heart and soul into the business. In addition, the boutique itself was adorable and lovely. Over all a lovely atmosphere and seriously professional results. read more

I received my very first eyebrow wax from Alex using the Groupon for 1 eyebrow shaping session for $19 and it was a perfectly pleasant experience. Alex was friendly and professional and did a fantastic job on my eyebrows. The waxing was almost painless and I was in and out within 30 minutes. The salon was clean and quaint and easy to find. There were no confusion or misunderstandings about the Groupon. It all went very smoothly! I would recommend Adore Makeup Boutique and Salon to anyone wanting to have a low-maintenance wax session! read more

Rhea did my bridal make up and Kelley did my hair. They also did my maid of honor's as well. I was originally very cautious about having my hair and make up done by non-Asian people since i am Asian. My skin color is usually hard to match and my hair is very thick and coarse and I have a lot of it. Rhea assured me they had done bridal makeup and hair for Asian brides in the past. And I'm glad I decided to go with Adore. I would recommend doing a trial hair and make up session because I did end up changing the makeup style from my trial to my actual day of wedding. Just pick a day that you are going to go out at night to have your trials done so that you can put your trials to good use. Rhea and Kelley were always very friendly and pleasant to work with. We originally scheduled for 2 pm on the wedding day. However Rhea had changed it to 1 pm and I confirmed it thru email. I had misread it and still thought it was scheduled for 2 pm. So on the day of the wedding they notified me when it was 1 pm. And I was still far away from the salon so that I couldn't make it in til 2 pm anyways. They were very understanding and waited for an hour for me to show up. I really appreciated their professionalism and kindness. read more

I hired The Adore team for my wedding makeup and hair! I went in for my trial run and loved both Perla and Rhea! They did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and it was just what I was looking for! While I was there I booked a microblading appointment and went back the next week. I was very nervous, Rhea answered all of my questions, addressed my concerns, and by the time I laid down for the procedure I was completely at ease! My brows are healing beautifully and I am very excited for my touch up! They are already amazing so can't wait to see the final brows! Now I get to look forward to this team making my bridal party and I the best looking ladies in Dripping Springs in February!! read more

Adore Makeup Boutique & Salon - Makeup Artists Near Me - Austin, Texas

Beside being owned by the sweetest person around, Rhea, this is a wonderful place for some many things! I originally started at Adore getting lash extensions many years ago with great results before my favorite lash girl moved to Houston. I recently returned to Adore to get my poor brows repaired after another someone did an awful job. Rhea to the rescue I have the most fabulous brows I have honestly ever had!!! Rhea is the most kind hearted, gentle person around and really listens to what her clients needs are. Brows are perfect and next up is make up for several future events! read more

Oh my goodness I have eyebrows!!! Beautiful, natural looking eyebrows!!! Rhea did an amazing job plus she's the sweetest thing ever! She pays so much attention to detail and has a special eye for beauty. Love her! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Adore. Terra and Shirley made me feel beautiful! I am so incredibly grateful. Not only are they extremely talented at what they do, they are so nice. My trial was great, and Terry and Shirley really listened to what I wanted. I realized that the picture I shower Terra (and she did exactly what I showed her), wasn't actually what I wanted. No fault of hers, I just changed my mind! Terra so nicely offered to do another complimentary trial. I wish these ladies could follow me around and make me feel so beautiful everyday! Once I get pictures I will be sure to post them! Thanks Terra and Shirley! You are THE BEST! read more

Rhea definitely delivers. I went in for a makeup lesson with my own makeup in tow. I wanted to use any of my own stash deemed appropriate, toss out what wasn't, and expand my horizons by purchasing some of her own line. I enjoyed her easy going manner, professionalism, and no high pressure sales approach. Another + is her makeup lines are reasonably priced. I have made an appt to return next month for a makeup application for a black tie event. read more

This salon is absolutely amazing! Two years ago, I was visiting family in Austin over the Christmas holiday, and I really wanted to try out the Jentry Kelley makeup line (which they carry at Adore). I called to make an appointment and even though it was the holidays, and they had a lot of events planned, they made the time for me to come in and try all the products (not only was it fun, but I left with a big bag of products!). And this past Christmas, I did the same thing (tho I made the appt a week in advance) and had another fantastic experience. Their skills, their customer service and the salon itself are the best!!! If I didn't live in Los Angeles, I'd be there all the time. See you in December, Adore! read more
