I could not be more pleased with my experience at Goldplaited. Reilly did exactly what I hoped: natural looking makeup that made me my best version of myself, but didn’t pretend that I wasn’t an old lady! And the wonderful woman who did my hair looked at my Pinterest board and captured exactly the look I was seeking. I felt so beautiful at my grandson‘s wedding and these two extraordinary women made that possible.

My forever favorite finishing salon. The kind of place where you walk in looking slightly questionable and walk out feeling completely polished, pulled together and fabulous.

The hair is always perfection, but the makeup deserves its own love letter. They somehow nail that elusive sweet spot of making you look incredibly beautiful while still looking like you. Gorgeous skin, perfect lashes, flattering color, nothing heavy or overdone — just elevated, effortless glam. And when you do want to go all out, they can absolutely bring it. Their special-event looks are stunning, and their Halloween makeup is next-level creative and so much fun.

The staff is welcoming, professional, and truly makes you feel like a valued guest. Their hospitality is unmatched, and they go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable throughout your visit.

The service is simply THEE BEST—consistent, high-quality, and worth every penny. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and take pride in what they do. If you’re looking for an amazing experience with outstanding results, I highly recommend Goldplaited. I’ll definitely be back!
