    Hair and makeup
    Jennifer L.

    Vanity Belle was great to work with! The hair and make up artists are so easy to talk to and are so helpful to make sure we looked perfect for the day! Jennifer was a particularly amazing make up artist! You can tell she, and all of Vanity Belle, really love their brides. They were super open to doing anything me or my bridesmaids asked for. Everything went perfectly!

    Aimee-Beth and Karissa were absolutely amazing!! Starting with my trial they were both so attentive and took the time to understand what I was looking for. They were happy to try different things to make sure everything was exactly how I envisioned. I have long thick hair and Karissa took her time and had so much patience and care with it. On the day of my wedding, they showed up on time and with such a calm demeanor. We were having some issues getting music going and Aime-Beth was prepared and quickly set something up. They both went above and beyond in making sure the vibe in the room was calm and positive and not chaotic or stressful. I had a large group and they stayed on schedule. They even finished a bit earlier than expected and took time offering touch ups. Thank you Vanity Belles for such a great experience.

    COVID rules that weren't followed
    Kate B.

    TLDR: My trial was a failure on all levels (expectations, safety, results & experience) Expectations: I booked hair & makeup and was confirmed with two people, Michelle (makeup) & Krystal (hair). When I showed up, only Krystal was there with no explanation. On my wedding day, to stay on schedule, I need two people so this was an immediate problem. This felt like a bait & switch. Expectations part 2 & Safety: VB has a long list of COVID rules in their confirmation email, including wearing a mask at all times until makeup needs to be applied to the lower half of your face. None of the precautions were followed & for the majority of my appointment I was the only one wearing a mask. Krystal immediately told me I didn't need to wear one, then condescendingly said "you know you'll have to take it off anyway for makeup." Results: The hair could have worked, with some feedback. It's not full enough and it fell more almost immediately. Krystal curled, teased and then bobby pinned the style. I have thick, long, heavy hair so some sort of structure beyond bobby pins was needed (hidden braid maybe). The makeup was terrible. Not only did the foundation start to flake immediately, it looked nothing like my inspiration picture. The eyelids were just a wash of peachy color, no shading. She didn't bother to contour my face at all. My brows were barely touched. The lipstick clashed with the eye shadow. I felt at that point she just wanted the appointment to be over. Experience: I don't know if it was the mask thing or just a bad day, but Krystal barely talked to me during my 2.5 hours in the salon, including not asking much about my hair or skin. The skin situation clearly resulted in worse results (dry patchy areas immediately after application). The other bride doing a trial at the same time had two providers who were cheerful & chatty. That's the energy I need on my wedding morning. Overall: 1/10 what a waste of time & money. My biggest issue is the lack of follow through on what was promised (2 providers, COVID rules). Do what you say, say what you do.

    This team is perfect and exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day! Everyone involved was incredibly nice, accommodating, and easy to work with. A big shoutout to Aimee-Beth, Lana, and Taylor for all of their amazing work. They did just the right amount of glam without overdoing it, and my bridal party were all so happy!! Also it's the first wedding I've been a part of where the hair and makeup team actually finished early, with time to spare! I could not have asked for a better group of artists to help make my special day go that much smoother. Highly recommend.

    The artists at Vanity Belle did a fantastic job with the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for the wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful we all looked and I felt like I got the wedding look I had envisioned perfectly! Stephanie and Jennifer did my bridal makeup and some of the other bridesmaids as well as Taylor did bridesmaids as well. My only negative was that a few of my bridesmaids told me that Taylor had a bad attitude when working with them. Otherwise, everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend Vanity Belle for your bridal hair and makeup :)

    Bride, right after hair and makeup. All hair done by Vanity Belle

    Aimee-Beth ad Krystal were absolute dreams come true! They were professional, efficient, and fun to talk to while they did our hair and make-up. All of my bridesmaids and I pretty much looked the same from the beginning of the day to the end of the night -- no smudgy makeup, and no flat hair. Despite hugging dozens of guests and pressing the side of my head against a ton of shoulders, my curls held up all night! Krystal gave me tips on how to make my hair easier to work with, and did a fantastic job bringing my vision to life. And the makeup, OH, the makeup! Aimee-Beth did a great job accommodating my bridesmaids requests without letting us get too carried away. She communicated to us why she made certain decisions, explaining how well the make up shows up in photographs and how well it'd last through the night. We felt like princesses the whole night. Thank you so much, you two!

    Shoutout to Krystal! She was so amazing, patient and experience. Thank you so much for carving out the time to do my makeup and hair. I felt like a princess and it look exactly like the photo I show her. She has such a sweet and gentle personality anyone would be lucky to have Krystal to prepare them for their big day. She was open to what I think and really try to understand what exactly I wanted. Thank you again!!

    Stephanie L.

    Firstly, I want to say that my makeup artist (Karissa Lorinne) and the hair stylist (Denise Sherri Anne) were awesome. I would highly recommend both of them! They did such a great job on my hair and makeup and that of my mom, and my sister-in-law. They also took the time to make my little niece feel comfortable and provide her with a little makeup and a braid for the wedding. She was being a bit difficult, but they were really patient with her. She was also not on the schedule, so they went out of their way to do this (I had paid for an additional person, but they are unable to attend, so the service itself was essentially paid for). While Karissa and Denise were great - the entire booking/scheduling system (Honeybook) with Jonathan was a bit unorganized. It was very difficult to find a time that worked and we traded a large number of emails back and forth. A phone call or an instant chat service might have been easier and more efficient. There was also an issue with me coming in for my bridal makeup/hair trial and my original makeup artist was unavailable (which was fine, it was an emergency), but Jonathan emailed me to tell me, rather than giving me a phone call to let me know. I was driving (hour and a half away) to the appointment when he emailed me, so I arrived to find out that I would not be able to get my makeup trial that day, which I had taken the day off from work for since it was rather far from my home. The scheduling issues and the lack of a phone call when my service was essentially cancelled is the reason why I am removing one star.

    Sandy L.

    I am so grateful to have had Taylor, Krystal, Dannielle, and Jonathan as my wedding beauty team in May! Throughout all interactions, the entire team was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Jonathan and Dannielle were extremely helpful with questions relating to the overall process, scheduling, etc. Taylor and Krystal were my hair and makeup artists for the bridal trial and wedding day. As someone who hasn't had professional hair/makeup services before, I was reassured that Taylor and Krystal could answer all my questions, help refine my vision, and easily adapt based on my feedback. They are both very talented artists and everyone (myself, mom, mother-in-law, five bridesmaids) was extremely happy with their final hair/makeup results. THANK YOU Vanity Belle for beautifying me and my loved ones on my special day!

    Bridal make up and hair

    EVERYTHING WENT WRONG AT MY WEDDING... Cake was plain... dj was busy eating or talking... all house lights were on during our first dance... Celine Dion was playing... just... WRONG. But I tell you WHAT! I... LOOKED... GOOOOOOOOOD! I've never felt so beautiful. Natalie and Kat have got to be the funniest and most perfect duo. The bridal trial is a must! I will give you that advice. I was matched with Kat and someone else. Let's call her... Voldemort. (I can't remember her name. Probably for the best.) Let's just say it wasn't a good match. I requested someone else and was blessed with Natalie. They redid the trial at no cost and it was just wonderful. Natalie changed things up at the first request and it was smooth sailing from then on. Kat was just always perfect. No issues there. I need her in my life. Natalie and Kat made me and my bridesmaids look amazing. I've never seen them take so many selfies, and they abused my Photobooth to the core. Thank you ladies SO much for doing such a great job. I STRONGLY recommend them both!

    I've known Karina for years & have never been more satisfied in giving her the opportunity to be the first one to ever get her hands on my hair. I honestly had doubts before booking with her since I've had damaged hair before (due to hair being done at home lol). My hair used to be shoulder length since it would rip out from how damaged it was. After 6-7 years of not touching my hair and of course because of aging/hereditary, I ended up getting a bunch of gray hairs (biggest insecurity) I gave my full trust to Karina & all I can say is Wow!!!!!! Her transformation has been amazing. I did let her do to my hair as she pleased and she amazed me at how well she knew my skin tone and knew exactly what color hair would go with me. I always feel like the most beautiful person after she's done. I travel over an hour each morning appointment I get just because I don't trust anyone out where I live.I've recommended so many friends & family to her and they all have the same reaction I do after sitting with Karina. If you ever have doubts please trust her. Can't wait to go back to her as soon as I have more grays I also added before and after pics to see the difference. I love both colors but I don't think I would go back to my natural hair color. Thank you karina for your art and always accommodating my morning appointments.

    Before photo: you can see how red my scalp is and how my roots are too orange.

Even though I only came in for a haircut, she took the time to give me honest advice about my hair. She recommended that I should focus on treating and restoring my hair first, and then come back next time for coloring so the results would look better and healthier. What really impressed me was her thoughtfulness -- she noticed that my roots had grown out unevenly in color, so she went ahead and blended the color to match the rest of my hair. And she didn't charge me anything extra for it, only for the haircut. You can truly tell that she cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. She's not only skilled but also very genuine and attentive. I will definitely be coming back to her again Highly recommend her if you're looking for someone talented, honest, and kind!

It's naturally curly and light brown, which I haven't seen in 30 years. I bleached it out diet, baby pink, and get extension extensions put in this takes me four appointments. They are really really close to me and so I really really lucked out. Note to anyone who has never been there before, there is always parking right in front. It has a green painted curb though that says it's only 10 minutes, but it doesn't matter. It's fine. You can be there forever. It's fine I promise. Can I go to the nail shop next-door which doesn't really good job too. OK, back to Salon Domane things that I like about them is that I also go there every week with my mother like I said who just turned 80 and has Alzheimer's and jenn is so awesome that she's really booked so now I've seen two or three other stylist for her getting her hair washed and set or colored and they're all good with her. Everyone's really nice. And they have a good system that text messages me with confirmation confirmations and reminders, which is helpful because, well ADHD and stuff. Marissa is Jenny's assistant and she's really awesome too. They use really good products. It's a not a big place. Maybe like 12 stations. So it's not cheap, but it's totally not expensive either. I think it's appropriate. And for me who does extensions, she lets me get my own and bring them in and uses them which saves me money so I appreciate that but I recommend jenn for anything that is "different " as in hair color or styles. She hasn't had "natural" colored hair since I've met her and I haven't since I can remember either so I got lucky that she was the one available when I called to make an appointment with someone because I first found them through Instagram anyways. Lol this is long but that's me. Ashley is really nice, too. I really appreciate how patient they are with me and my mom. I've had to cancel last minute and even I have no showed before and I wasn't charged, which is very generous... Don't do it! Lol but yeah. Everyone's independent I think so. Just find who you like or just call and get the first person available cause I'm sure they'll be good. But if you do have something specific you are in mind, I'm sure whoever answers the phone can point you in a good direction of who is the best for you :))))) xxxooo Oh, and I'm picky AF when it comes to anything involving health and beauty and body care so yeah I'm so glad I found them cryyyyy

In the past my mom hasn't had the best experience with getting her haircut but Linh changed that for her! Can't wait to come back! Thanks so much again for making us look and feel good!
