When I saw how long curly cuts take I was a little intimidated, as it can be a long time to chat with a stranger. Shannon made it so comfortable and is just plain sweet! I am SO happy with my hair. I usually leave and have to restyle at home. I left with bouncy curls and can't stop admiring my hair. I'm so excited to not battle with my hair every day. Not only did I learn a ton about how to style and things to avoid, but I have an amazing cut. Thanks Shannon!!

I really appreciated that Salon Tryst does on site hair and make up for as few as two people. I let my bridesmaids choose if they wanted to have hair and make-up done, which they appreciated. I booked Salon Tryst over email and was impressed how quickly they responded. They answered all my questions and made the process painless. On the day of the wedding my stylists, Leah and Anna, arrived precisely on time. It was so much fun having them in the room while we were getting ready. They joked and laughed with us while maintaining their professionalism. They listened to everyone's ideas for looks and adjusted if the final product was not what someone envisioned. Everyone was done on time and the whole process was relaxed and fun. I would highly recommend Salon Tryst, specifically Leah and Anna, to anyone in the Bellingham area looking for a wedding stylist.

My gift plans this year were to make some chai-scented candles by melting down neutral wax and…read moreadding fragrance oils. Instead of going to amazon, I wanted to attempt to support this up-and-coming local business. I walk by MW soapworks every day during my commute, and I thought they might have what I needed. On Friday, December 12, 2025, I walked in and spoke with Andrea, one of the owners. I noticed she had just what I needed - Pumpkin Spice fragrance oil. I didn't know how much to add to my batch of candles. So, I asked Andrea for some advice. She used her phone to look up some resources and implied that I would probably need at least two droppers of Pumpkin Fragrance. At that time, I was grateful for her advice, I was initially only planning on purchasing one vial (on "sale" for over $20 per fluid ounce). After purchasing the two vials, I returned home and made the candle batch. The oil that Andrea provided was strong - I only ended up needing about half of a fluid ounce for all of my candle making. And the candles smelled amazing. The scent she sold was obvious high quality. I was excited to go back to share a candle with Andrea out of gratitude for the advice she provided. Considering how reasonable she seemed, I was likewise looking forward to returning the extra unopened vial. Unfortunately, when I attempted to return the vial in the afternoon of 12/14/25, she told me she doesn't offer refunds - How convenient that she tells me that ONLY AFTER upselling me previously. Remember when I mentioned she was reasonable? Yeah, I was wrong about that. Andrea also told me that because the fragrance oil is a "body product", no exchanges are offered either. Fun fact: Fragrance oil is not for direct body application, and it even says so on the bottle. It is an ingredient intended to be diluted for products to be used on the body. So, when I was only going to buy one vial, Andrea upsold me to buy double what I needed and didn't tell me she doesn't offer refunds or exchanges DESPITE me being obviously unsure about the amount I needed. If she actually cared, she would have recommended that I start with one vial and return if I needed more. But Andrea is obviously only interested in the sale. I was cheated by Andrea and I hope anyone reading this uses my experience as a warning to avoid Andrea and her business MW soapworks lest she take advantage of you as well.
