Testimonials
“You guys are incredible. I can't thank you enough. We only met in person once before my wedding day, and it was like I had my best friends getting me ready. You even helped button my sleeve to get me out the door (you did it all!)! My family and friends adore you and all felt so beautiful that day. I told my Mom that I was hiring true professionals, and that's exactly what you are- in every way. I was so impressed by your talent, your energy, and how you approached everything with kindness. The biggest compliment that I can give is that I completely trusted you both that day. I knew that I was working with the best, and was so at ease because of it. From start to finish, working with you was effortless. I only wish you had stayed to come dance with me! So blessed and forever thankful for Salt Spell! Love you!”

“I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and were raving about my hair and makeup. My mom, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law felt SO beautiful and so at ease with you guys and won’t stop talking about how wonderful the 3 of you were to work with; all of your energy started our day off perfectly. I know I mentioned this on the day of, but it bears repeating - you have created something really unique and incomparable with the bridal ritual and how well you 3 work together. I am so grateful I found and worked with you!”

“The Salt Spell ladies made my day SO special! The second they walked into my room, we all immediately clicked, and I knew I made the right decision for my hair & makeup. The pre-glam facial was so calming, and the perfect way to kick off our session. My hair and makeup turned out FLAWLESS and I could not be happier. They have a contagious energy and truly made me feel beautiful. I would highly recommend these girls for your wedding day!”

"Our wedding was absolutely amazing!! Everything turned out perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better day. You took away all of the wedding stress and nerves by surrounding me with positive thoughts/energy. I carried that vibe with me throughout our wedding day and it instantly allowed me to calm down and enjoy the moment. I cannot express how much that meant to me. It was great working with you guys!! I will for sure keep you in mind for future events and I will spread the word in Chicago of how amazing you both are."

“Drea & Mari are absolutely the best!! The day of my wedding, they swept in like two Angels and made me completely comfortable from the very start. The bridal ritual was absolutely amazing and took away all of my nerves, which was important for me because my husband & I eloped, which meant I had no one else to help me get ready on my special day and help me to feel less nervous. I felt like they were my best friends from the minute I met them, and as if they always had my best interests and the perfect end result in mind. I was not able to do a makeup or hair trial because I got married in Forestville, CA and live in Ohio. I showed Drea & Mari some pictures of what I had in mind for my hair & makeup, but they FAR exceeded anything I had envisioned. I have NEVER felt SO beautiful! It was absolutely the best day of my life and these girls had so much to do with that. I would absolutely recommend them to any bride, they are worth every dime and more! Drea & Mari, THANK YOU so much for making me feel like the most stunning bride on my wedding day! I wanted the day to last forever. If I ever have another special event in California someday, I hope we can meet up again!! XOXO”

“Salt Spell team was outstanding in every way. On time, well prepared, great to chat with, excellent techinique, and all around fun. It was a pleasure to hang out with them, and the final result of hair and makeup on 5 different people was spectacular. Range of complexions from my 61-year-old mother of the bride, redheads, brunettes, and asian complexions. Everyone was thrilled with the results, and all held up well even in 110 degree outdoor wedding. Personally, I couldn’t have been more happy, and I felt like a million bucks. Can’t ask for more. Salt Spell is the A-team, and I’d hire them again in an instant. ”
