In summary, I'm writing this review to let prospective brides know that there is a possibility the…read morestylist doing your trial won't be the same one doing your wedding day with Secret Salon, and in my experience, there was a complete lack of communication in this handoff. The stylists who did my wedding hadn't seen my trial photos at all until I showed them the day of my wedding, resulting in a look that didn't match my trial, my hair especially. Unfortunately, one of my core memories of my wedding day is the stress surrounding this experience and not feeling 100% confident in how my hair and makeup turned out. With all of the positive reviews of the Secret Salon, I didn't expect this outcome at all. I've added photos of the trial and wedding day for comparison. I was overall satisfied with the trial, booked in June 2025 with the stylist, Jennifer. She achieved the look I wanted and we talked through tweaks to make sure the style would last through the wedding day. She took pictures of my makeup and hair so she'd have record of it, and let me know that she would be the one doing my styling on my wedding day. On my wedding day in December 2025, the makeup artist, Samantha, arrived on time, but the hair stylist (can't remember her name) arrived late, and this contributed to the overall hair timeline of the day running late. I hadn't received any notice ahead of time that Jennifer was unavailable. When it came time for my makeup, I asked what had happened with Jennifer and that I hadn't heard there'd be a change, and the makeup artist didn't have further information other than a scheduling conflict. I then asked if she had seen my trial photos to know what I'm going for, and she hadn't and asked if I had those available. Thankfully I did and pulled those up and explained what Jennifer did at my trial and some elements we had troubleshooted. The makeup: Generally, I appreciate Samantha's commitment to getting my makeup "right" for my wedding day, as we spent extra time at the end doing tweaks. I'll add she did a great job hiding some acne scarring as well. This review isn't about her individual performance as I certainly don't blame her for the overall lack of organization. She saw my trial photos for a total of 10 seconds before she started working on me. But objectively, my concealer wasn't color corrected underneath like the trial with Jennifer and therefore looked gray in person. Additionally, the face makeup at my trial was soft and subtle, and she had a heavier hand with bronzer than I expected. Photos blurred both of these out, but it still didn't change how I felt the day of. The hair: At my trial, Jennifer worked with me to achieve the Hollywood waves I was looking for on my naturally straight hair. These fell out a bit through the day, but 12 hours later, I still had some waves. I'll start by saying that my bridesmaids and myself who wore our hair down were disappointed with the hair stylist. She simply wasn't as experienced as Jennifer, and it showed in how she handled my hairstyle. Again, when I sat down with her, I asked if she had seen my trial photos and she said no so I showed them to her. I explained the nature of my hair and how it requires high heat, hairspray, etc. to achieve a curl. At multiple points through her styling my hair, she asked me how Jennifer was able to get my hair to curl as my hair wasn't holding them. She was using hairspray and the same tools that Jennifer used. This question baffled me, as I would have expected them to have communicated ahead of time, and I wasn't told in detail what Jennifer had used. The stylist tried setting my hair in curlers for a while to see if this would help, while she finished the rest of my bridesmaids' hair and finished me last. She pulled our hair so hard to curl it that our heads were yanked backwards in the chair. When she took the curlers out and tried to curl my hair again, she said it wasn't holding the curl. But after every time she curled my hair, she was fully running her brush through the curls which knocked them out. I left with the ends of my hair curled, nowhere near Hollywood waves. When I got to the venue 15 minutes away, some of these curls were already coming undone. I asked my bridesmaid to bring a curling iron to the bridal suite, and they re-curled my hair. All the curls that they did, stayed. My hair did not look as polished and professional as my trial, and as I look back on my wedding day photos, I dislike any from the back because of this. I purposely pushed all my hair behind my shoulders in formal photos so the mismatched curled ends weren't visible. I write this review because the mismanagement was entirely preventable. It wouldn't have taken much effort to email me letting me know of the scheduling change. I'd have happily taken it upon myself to share my trial photos and notes with the new stylists. Since there are very few negative reviews of Secret Salon, I felt obligated to share my experience here.

This review is solely regarding the salon's communication and booking process. I cannot speak to…read moreits hair and make up service. I communicated with salon and its owner in August of 2025 to book hair and makeup services for my wedding in April 2026 for myself and a small bridal party (4 bridesmaids, MIL, mother). They confirmed that my date was available and provided the contract and deposit link. I paid the deposit and executed the contract. I emailed with Alice about requesting a morning start time, and then touch up services in the afternoon. Alice confirmed that we could do that, but there would be a fee for the touch up service. This was fine. And we agreed to touch base on the exact schedule closer to the date. On September 16, I received an email from Alice in which she claims that none of her team members are available on my April 2026 date (7 months from now), due to apparent "childcare obligations" in the morning. To her credit, I did receive a refund of my deposit. However, it rubbed me the wrong way that they dodged accountability with a very obvious cop out with an impersonal email obviously crafted by ChatGpt. In fact, several emails from them were heavily AI reliant. I understand that AI can be a great tool, but when it came to this, there needed to be some actual accountability. Wedding planning is stressful enough. Not only did the salon pull out of this contractual obligation with a flimsy excuse, they didn't even have the courtesy to point me in the direction of another salon/HMUA to reach out to. In sum, I found them to unprofessional and unreliable.

I used A Toast To Beauty for hair/makeup services for my wedding on 12-10-22. I was very nervous…read moreabout my hair and makeup because I've been in weddings before and I've hired hair and makeup services for galas/events I've attended in the past, and I've never gotten exactly what I wanted before. So, finding the right artists for my wedding day was super important for me. I don't like super dark eye makeup on myself because I have fair skin, blonde hair and light blue eyes. Before inquiring with AT2B, I looked through their extensive portfolio and their instagram and saw other brides with similar skin tone, hair color and eye color with exactly what I was looking for. Savanna got back to me promptly and she was extremely responsive answering all my questions before I booked with AT2B. She made booking super easy and after I booked with AT2B, I uploaded inspo photos to my portal so that Savanna could match me with hair and makeup artists. She matched me with Kyla for makeup and Amelia for hair. As we got closer to wedding day, Savanna set up my bridal hair and makeup trial. I made a huge mistake and completely forgot that we scheduled the trial to take place at Amelia's studio. I didn't realize that until the night before my trial, and I (frantically) texted Savanna who was super understanding. I felt so bad but Savanna was so patient and kind about it. We rescheduled my trial to take place at my house so that my mom be there. My bridal trial went 10000x better than I ever imagined. Kyla and Amelia arrived right on time and they were so warm and friendly. We talked and laughed while they did my hair and makeup. When they finished and I went to look in the mirror, I was BLOWN away by how perfect I looked. They absolutely nailed my hair and makeup - there was nothing to change or tweak because it was that perfect! My trial was in the morning and my hair and makeup also held up perfectly the rest of the day. Before they left, Kyla and Amelia made sure that I didn't have any input or requested changes to my hair and makeup, and then a few days later, Savanna reached out to me to ask how everything went and if there were any changes I wanted to make. I was so impressed and excited about my trial that I reached out to Savanna to ask if Kyla and Amelia were available to do hair and makeup for me and my mom before my rehearsal dinner. My wedding was about 2 months away, but thankfully they both were available and Savanna made it super easy for me to add on these services to my package! A few weeks before my wedding day, Savanna confirmed all of the details with me and arranged a day-of hair and makeup schedule for me and my bridal party. Kyla and Amelia arrived at my house right on time to do hair and makeup for me and my mom before my rehearsal dinner. Like me, my mom doesn't wear a ton of makeup and it had been awhile since she had her hair and makeup professionally done, so she was a little nervous going into it but Kyla and Amelia did an AMAZING job. We were all blown away by how beautiful my mom looked. My mom love her hair and makeup so much that Kyla gave her a list of all of the products she used so my mom could buy the same products she used! I absolutely loved my rehearsal hair and makeup - we went with a toned down version of my wedding day look and I loved it so much that at the end of the night, I didn't want to take my makeup off or brush out my hair before going to bed. On the day of my wedding, Kyla and Amelia arrived at the venue on time and they did an amazing job getting hair and makeup done for everyone. We all had so much fun - it was like we had all been friends for years! My mom, MOHs and myself all looked and felt so STUNNING too. We all have very different skin tones, hair color, eye color and hair/makeup preferences, but Kyla and Amelia did such an excellent job! We got so many compliments throughout the day on how beautiful we all looked and how stunning our hair and makeup were. My hair and makeup also held up SO well.. even through dancing for hours and whipping my thick hair (which is very long and heavy) all around!! I attached several photos by my very talented and incredible photographer, Kellie Jane at https://kelliejanecreative.com/ I felt absolutely amazing on my wedding day thanks to this team, which is all I could ever ask for! My hair and makeup was done exactly how I had envisioned, which just shows how great these artists are and how much they listened to me. I already bought all of the products they used on me because I loved everything so much. I had the BEST experience possible and I highly recommend AT2B! You will not be disappointed!

Even my grandma, who NEVER gets her hair & makeup done, loved the experience. I also will say that many women in my family have (beautiful) thick, long hair that can be hard to manage, and there were no issues with that. The bridal trial was also really wonderful as well. The artists actually came to our home, and were so wonderful to work with. They took the small amount of feedback I had super well, and I was ecstatic was the look on the day. Could not recommend them more highly!
