    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.

    Adorable little salon in Cardiff and you can't beat the ocean view! Parking is no issue here thank…read moregod they have a couple of spaces right out front, and a parking lot on the side also street parking is quite plentiful! It's kind of located in the backyard of VGs donuts. Inside is minimal yet spacious. Nothing on the walls quite yet they only been opened for a month now. I came in for a blowout. Angelina was the one who took care of me. I have never had such a thorough and amazing shampoo!!! She seriously spent 20 min washing my hair and her scalp massages were ahhhhhhmazing!!! My hair felt so clean afterwards that I bet I can go a full week without washing even with some workouts thrown in! You can tell they put a lot of heart and soul into this salon. I am always happy to support small businesses!

KAT is really going to become a GEM in the Cardiff community! Angelina does an amazing job on my hair! She did my hair and make up for my engagement photos and is doing my hair and make up for my wedding in February! I go to her mainly for hair color and she always nails what I'm looking for! She has so much experience and really can make anything happen! Krista knows skin care! Since starting to see her - my skin has never looked or felt better! While she does facials she explains the products she's using and why she's using them. I've never gotten so many compliments on my eyebrows and skin!

    I came across Chelsea on Instagram while searching for a makeup artist for my wedding. I was blown…read moreaway by her work and ended up having her do my makeup for my engagement photos as well. Chelsea is everything you could want in a makeup artist and then some! She is extremely professional and arrived on time for both makeup sessions. I ended up having to postpone my engagement session due to wind and Chelsea was kind enough to reschedule me on her husband's birthday I was so grateful and would never expect someone to do that, but she accommodated me so graciously. Before doing my makeup she took the time to assess my skin type, talked me through my desired look, and exceeded my expectations! I had never felt so beautiful! On my wedding day, Chelsea did the same with my bridesmaids - however, after finishing the first bridesmaid's makeup it became apparent that all of my girls desired the same look - it was drop dead GORGEOUS! She knocked it out of the park! When it came time for her to do my makeup Chelsea remembered exactly what I wanted and took notes from my engagement photo makeup by going with a slightly fuller lash to kick things up a notch for the big day. It was as if she had read my mind. All of my girls were so pleased and even told me that it was obvious I had hired the best of the best for my big day. There is no better feeling as a bride than knowing you have a team you can trust. I can't say enough good things about Chelsea. Her work speaks for itself but beyond that, she is a pleasure to hang with which is what you want on your wedding day. Now that I'm married, I'm going to have to find every excuse to get my makeup done by Chelsea again! Hire her - you won't regret it and your ladies will thank you!
