I agonized over writing this, as my wedding is long since over, but am hoping that this review might help other brides do their due diligence when selecting glam for their wedding. I booked Hello Lovely because I was very passionate about my bridal party receiving the luxury treatment, I didn't want my day to just be about me. Otherwise I would have flown someone in from California (where I am from), which I still ended up having to do. I went for a hair and make-up trial (and paid for this twice, once when I booked and again when I had to make the appointment) about 3 weeks before my wedding. From the minute I sat down, I was uncomfortable. I had a bunch of reference photos but felt like my artist wasn't understanding my core requests: I don't wear a lot of make-up, I didn't want it to look like I was wearing a lot of make-up, I wanted to make sure I was not wearing a lot of foundation or blush or lipstick as I am exceptionally pale. I wanted to look and feel like myself, but amplified, on my wedding day. Let's start with hair. I have extensions and hair was the one thing I was certain would be amazing. My extensions looked amazing and reference pictures for hair are not really subjective in my opinion. Boy, was I wrong. I won't get into the granular, as it does not matter, but there were explicit things I said I didn't want that somehow ended up in my hair. It looked like a shirly temple rat's nest when I walked out of the salon. My hair looked so BAD. It was SO unflattering. It took everything in my power not to cry in the chair. I had a complete emotional crisis. I felt so disgusting and ugly. The make-up did not help, but make-up IS subjective in my opinion. It felt like the person doing my make-up only knew how to do "generic wedding make-up". I wish my skin tone and face lended itself to that glossy, tan, blushing bride look, but I look like a haunted victorian doll naturally so when someone tried to do that wedding make-up look on me, instead of catering to my skin tone and styles, I looked absolutely horrible. Again, left this experience with a horrible taste in my mouth. I reached out to Hello Lovely to let them know I did not want to move forward with them because of my experience and how close I was to my wedding day. I had to drive to Kansas City for this trial (3 hours each way) and did not have time to go back out to KC. They basically told me I signed a contract and they didn't care that I was not happy. They took ALL of my deposit (~ $1500) AND I had to PAY to fly someone else out to do my entire wedding look. They were completely RUDE and unapologetic, they hung up on me, they hung up on my man of honor. They don't send receipts for their transactions and then won't refund additional costs because you don't have a receipt!!!! Super shady, and this company is NOT about women empowering women. They don't care about you, they don't care about your wedding, they don't care if you look/feel beautiful on your day...they care about your MONEY. Do NOT get it twisted. There were other red flags, they literally didn't care about the timing of my wedding because they were trying to cram in other clients, so even though my wedding was at 4:00 PM, the stylists were going to arrive at 7:00 AM to do the glam and then just dip and leave everyone's make-up to oxidize and get gross for HOURS. Like, what is that? I ended up trusting my gut and ate the $1500 that they refused to refund me and brought a specialist in to do my make-up. Best decision I made for my wedding. I felt amazing, I got so many compliments. I looked totally airbrushed and felt beautiful and not like I was a completely different person. Anyway, read the contracts before you sign, like get your trial done BEFORE you ever sign your contract and just remember they don't care about you, they just want your money and they are trying to maximize their profits. Like look at these pictures of myself I posted which are *heinous* and know that as a woman I am tryi

We used Hello Lovely to prepare for my daughter's wedding day. In total they provided make-up and hairstyles for ten women and did a truly fantastic job. They arrived on time and brought everything we needed. Everyone was happy with their service and I highly recommend them. They offer a trial run service as well which my two daughters and I are very glad that we utilized. It allowed us to decide early what we wanted to do, which took a lot of anxiety out of a crazy, stressful day. If you are a bride and need an expert, timely service for your wedding day, Hello Lovely is the place!

I had a wonderful experience at Hello Lovely Salon. The atmosphere was great, the service was so friendly and accommodating, and Brooke did an amazing job on my hair! She was great in helping me decide what I needed as far as partial highlights vs balayage. The outcome was perfect and exactly what I was wanting!

Emiliee Warman has done an AMAZING job with helping me transition from a dark natural brunette to adding in lighter colors to help hide those pesky gray hairs that are now popping up in my 30's, but still staying true to my brunette. When I show her pictures of what I want, she delivers and I leave loving my hair every time!

Emilee is amazing! She is always so kind and friendly on top of being knowledgeable about hair care and products. She helped me find a great shampoo and conditioner that works well with my hair - and I had tried so many so I am thankful for her expertise!
