| - I have been to Primp and Blow for three separate occasions, and I would recommend this place! I first tried P&B for a normal blowout and was so pleased with the results. They made my hair voluminous, shiny with a little bit of body that was perfect for my engagement photos.
My friend got married soon after that and she booked through P&B (at Waterfront). All of her bridesmaids got their hair and makeup done there. I enjoyed the experience, but I think that as a bridesmaid it's kind of a bummer because you don't do a trial beforehand and it's kind of hit or miss with the stylists whether they can actually execute the style in the photo that you bring them.
And finally, I booked my own hair and makeup and my wedding party's hair at P&B Town and Country. My stylist was Tierra, and she was awesome! I definitely recommend her capable hands. I did my hair and makeup trial with her and she was very adamant that I be vocal about what I did and did not like -- it wouldn't hurt her feelings. Although the trial was still pricey ($100 -- they say on the website that it is half off on tuesdays and thursdays but that's not true -- at least during the "season" that I did mine) I did think it was worth it so that my stylist practiced working with my hair and knowing what I wanted. My actual hair and makeup the day of was phenomenal as a result. However, some of my bridesmaids weren't in love with their hair the day of -- mostly because I think a trial would have been helpful for them as well.
I will say that the process of booking your wedding party, which goes through their central coordinator Lauren, was relatively easy and painless. For both weddings that I was a part of I was happy that they were able to book all of the girls pretty much at the same time, which meant that they brought in a stylist for each of us so that the whole process went a lot faster. On my wedding day though there were some mixups administratively -- apparently some of my girls' stylists were not notified of how early the appointments were and a few of them were late. Thankfully we had enough buffer that it wasn't a problem but I could foresee it being a disaster. They do seem to have some problems with reception showing up on time and in general being competent -- I waited for twenty minutes for her to figure out how to add up my bill with the tip on it since I was paying for everyone.
However, I do think that the price point is very reasonable compared to other salons around the valley. And the salon is super cute (in Tiffany blue) and a great place to hang out with your girls before your big day. Since they are a local company (as oppose to drybar, which is national) I am happy to support them but I do hope they get a lot of kinks worked out of their system!
