    So Beautiful!

    The Gloss girls absolutely exceeded our expectations and everyone looked so beautiful! They were there and ready to go before we arrived and finished us up with time to spare. It was so great and I would highly recommend them for events in the future.

    Book them!

    So pleased with this vendor! Hired them for hair and make up for me & 8 bridesmaids - they were great. Special shout out to Krystal, who made my hair dreams come true. I have curly hair and up until 5 minutes before my turn to get my hair done as the bride, I wasn’t sure what to do with it (natural… extensions… totally done up?). Krystal somehow knew exactly what I wanted (even though I came off incredibly indecisive) and made my curly hair dreams come true - the perfect elevation of my natural hair. Seriously so grateful I had her on my big day.

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    We are so pleased to hear that Krystal was able to make this last minute change for you. She is one of our styling rock stars!! We will definitely share your kind words with her and appreciate you taking the time to share this experience.

    Super Talented!!

    I highly recommend Gloss Salon for anybody getting married! Jay the coordinator is super professional, responsive, and flexible! Krystal is the best hair stylist and did such a beautiful job!! I was super indecisive about my hair, at my trial I really loved my loose up-do look it was so beautiful, but the day of the wedding I decided I wanted my hair partially down; luckily Krystal had so many looks up her sleeve and her work was absolutely beautiful!! They did wonderful jobs with my bridal party, mothers and flower girls as well. You gotta go with Gloss!

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    Thank you so much for these kind words about your experience with Gloss, and specifically Krystal and Jay. We appreciate you taking your time to share.

    Amazing experience with Gloss!

    I can’t say enough great things about working with Gloss Salon Delaware/Gloss in the City, especially Caitlyn Nurthen for hair and Kate Stout for makeup – Caitlyn did the wedding day hair for three other weddings that I was a bridesmaid in and I couldn’t imagine her not being there for mine! She always brings the best vibes for the day and makes everyone look their best. She immediately understood what I wanted at my trial and executed it perfectly on the day of. For makeup, I can’t thank Kate enough for how at ease she put me as someone who never wears make up. At the trial I gave her the smallest amount of direction and she knocked it out of the park. She made me feel glamorous, but still like myself. In addition, Gloss did all 8 of my bridesmaids and the MOB and MOG hair and all of the bridesmaids make up and finished perfectly on time. The best part about Gloss is they will travel to the site which takes that extra bit of stress out of the day. I loved working with Caitlyn and Kate, as well as Jay and Bethany to coordinate the leading up to the wedding day. I can’t recommend Gloss enough!

    Amazing experience!

    Brittney was the one who styled everyone’s hair for my wedding and she did such a fantastic job! She styled my hair exactly how I pictured it. Everyone loved their hairstyle and they all stayed in place throughout the day! Brittney was very professional, friendly and easy to talk too! Highly recommend her!!!

    Beautiful glam by great girls!

    Gloss did our on-site hair and makeup and it was so fun! For the trial and day of, Lindsay & Emma put so much effort into getting the exact style we wanted and making sure it would last all night. It did end up raining/very windy on our wedding day, so not everything could stay intact all night, but we still felt beautiful!

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words about our team and for sharing your beautiful pictures!! We are so happy you felt beautiful all night.

    Best Hair Vendor

    I never used Gloss prior to my wedding but I knew other brides that used them for their weddings & all they could do was rave about Gloss. Plus the reviews were fantastic! Krystal did our hair and I cannot praise her enough. Most of us girls had long hair, one had really short hair, and we all wanted different hair styles; Krystal made sure that everyone had everyone's hair curled, set & pinned in time. Not one girl had to "fix" their own hair after Krystal left or re-pin falling hair later in the night. As for my hair, she made me look fantastic. My hair captured my personality and made me receive countless compliments all night. I can't forget Bethany in this review - she helped set up everything up & worked with me on date changes. These ladies are without a doubt some of the best artists of their craft that I have ever had the pleasure of working with- the fact that they can do all of this on-location makes them the ultimate hair wedding vendor in my book. Thank you so much for making my girls look great & making me feel beautiful on my wedding day!

    So Happy With My Hair and Makeup

    I went to their Wilmington, DE location and Kate and Brittany did a wonderful job on our hair and makeup. I couldn't have been more pleased. Kate walked each person through the whole makeup process so that she was doing just the right amount of makeup so that no one would be uncomfortable. And Brittany did an excellent job on our hair styles. Everyone looked beautiful and I don't think I can say anything else more positive about my experience here.

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    Thank you so much Melissa!! We loved having you at our City location on your most important day and we could not be more pleased that you were happy with your experience. Thank you for taking the time to share.

    Relaxing and Beautiful

    Kate and Brittany did hair and makeup for myself and my 6 bridesmaids. Of course, we all looked beautiful. But, what was even better, was the ease of working with everyone at Gloss. Bethany always answered my emails promptly, and Kate and Brittany were always open to any suggestions my bridesmaids or I had. Kate and Brittany were also great to have around on the morning of the wedding. They were fun and relaxed and added to our great vibe. I’d hire them again and again.

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    Jillian- Thank you for choosing for your wedding day hair and makeup. We were so happy to be a small part of your most important day. We also really appreciate the kind words. I will make sure that I pass them on to our Kate and Brittany. Please feel free to reach out to us for all your beauty needs as we would love to see you again!!
    Stay Happy, Healthy, & Beautiful as we look forward to the future..

    Lindsay was awesome!

    Lindsay came to the hotel for my daughter’s wedding. We weren’t local and couldn’t consult with her in advance. So, we had to rely on her to come up with a hair style and makeup - and our faith was well-placed. Lindsay created an elegant and natural look that suited my daughter perfectly. Lindsay also hit the mark with a light touch on the 11 year old girls in the wedding party. Lindsay made everyone look and feel their best on this most important day. Thank you, Lindsay!

    Gloss Salon and On-Location Hair and Makeup Service's reply:

    Kathy-
    We are so happy to hear everyone looked and felt their best on your daughter's wedding day!! It was wonderful working with you and we are over the moon that you were pleased with Lindsay's hair and makeup services. Thank you again for choosing Gloss.

    The best hair and makeup

    I booked Gloss salon for our 10/12/2019 wedding. They did not disappoint. Everyone in our group looked amazing. I was obsessed with my hair and makeup. Emma did my makeup and Tonya did my hair. I couldn't be happier with the experience. I reached out to them somewhat last minute after a trial I had didn't go exactly as I had hoped. They were able to fit us in and everyone looked and felt amazing. I attached a few photos from my photographer (and a selfie to show you my makeup). I cropped the one photo so you can see the back of my hair. If you are looking for a salon to do your hair or makeup for a special occasion, I would not hesitate to book gloss. They are amazing.

    Talented, kind people with amazing skill!

    Gloss did such an amazing job for my wedding, I can't say enough good things about them! Krystal did my hair and Emma did my makeup. They are 2 insanely talented women! They did my trial as well, which I did for my bridal shower. I got SO many compliments at my shower and my wedding!!! My hair stayed put all day (which has literally never happened for me with my thin straight hair) and my makeup looked amazing despite the heat and humidity. Krystal and Emma came on-site and they were so sweet and fun to have there that morning. They made the morning so relaxed and put my mind at ease. Thank you, Krystal and Emma! You ladies are amazing!!!

    Colleen-
    Thank you for sharing your wedding day experience with Krystal and Emma!! We are so pleased to hear that your hair stayed put and you were happy with the hair and makeup service. Thank you for all the wonderful things you said about their talent and kindness.

    Best glam team

    Gloss Salon was so great and accommodating to work with! I had a brunch wedding with a very early "getting ready" time, but Gloss assured me from the beginning that it would be no problem. Krystal (hair) and Emma (makeup) arrived before dawn and styled us all beautifully; no one had to retouch their hair and makeup all day. Plus, they were really fun to hang out with, too. Would definitely recommend!

    Talented, Professional, and Punctual

    I had an absolutely amazing experience with Gloss and their artists Kate Stout and Bethany Malloy. All of my bridesmaids and my mother loved their makeup and the option to have airbrushed or normal makeup with no additional costs. Also eyelashes were included. Super talented, professional, punctual, and made us all feel like a million dollars. What more could you ask for in a makeup artist on your wedding day?

    Krystal did the hair and Emma did the makeup for my bridal party and I on the day of our wedding. They both did a tremendous job! Not once did I have to adjust my hair or re-touch my makeup in 10 hours! They were both very helpful and made suggestions, as not everyone knew exactly what they wanted to do for hair and makeup. They were both very easy to talk to and we had lots of laughs, which is important when they spend so much time helping you get ready on such an important day! I never went to gloss before my hair and makeup trial, but I am thinking I will be switching my go-to salon to Gloss.

    GLOSS Salon in Wilmington created a truly amazing experience for me and my bridesmaids when it came to getting ready for my husband and my special day! From hair and makeup trial through being on site to help us get ready, everything was seamless, and I LOVE the final results. I felt and looked gorgeous, and that is all thanks to Tatum and Taylor who killed it that day! If you are looking for talented professionals for your wedding, book GLOSS!

    Emma was fabulous! She showed up ready to work and was so organized and professional. Not to mention a real joy to just talk to. I think she could sense I was beginning to get nervous and she was so calming while applying my make up and chatting with me. My niece was apprehensive about having her make up applied by someone else but after Emma did it, she was over the moon! She just loved it. Everyone looked perfect that day. Thank you Emma!

    I originally chose Gloss because of their prices, flexibility, and other reviews. It was definitely the correct choice! When I went in for my hair and makeup trial, the woman who did my makeup discussed with me to find out exactly what I wanted (natural/air brushing/fake eyelashes). She did an amazing job, both on the trial day and the day of the wedding. For my hair, I thought I knew what I wanted and I came in with a picture. The woman who did my hair said it might not look great because of my dark hair, but she agreed to do it so we could see. When she finished, I decided I didn't like it, so she took it out and we tried a different style. She incorporated the braids and curls that I wanted and she came up with the most beautiful hair style. I was ecstatic. The same two women came to my house the day of the wedding to do hair and makeup for me, my bridal party, and the moms. Everyone was very happy with their resulting looks and we all looked fabulous for the big day. I highly recommend this company.
