Michelle helped me out after my previous hair for my wedding cancelled on me fairly close to my wedding day! I had a large wedding party and she was flexible in working with another hair stylist on site to make sure all my girls looked and felt beautiful! Everyone LOVED their hair. Some even didn't know what they wanted and she gave great recommendations based on their hair. She went above and beyond when a couple of my girls who has their hair done by someone else off site didn’t love their hair, so she last minute helped them out and fixed it so they were happy with their hair! Cannot recommend Michelle enough!

Oasis Salon & Spa

Monticello, IA
  • Starts at $70
  • Serves Iowa

Our carefully chosen and highly trained staff is here to exceed your expectations. The same goes for our elegant salon space —dedicated to guest comfort — and our devotion to innovation and artistry.

We share Aveda’s exceptional standards of quality products, treatments, and guest care, and everything we do reflects the standards of an Aveda salon.

Oasis Salon & Spa was the hair and makeup vendor for my wedding this past August. The girls we ended up working with were great; super friendly and everyone was happy with their hair and makeup the day of. They worked with me to figure out my makeup look as I was struggling to figure out what I wanted. I had 2 trials where they walked me through different ideas and modified the day of as well. The airbrush makeup was also great on the hot August day and held up the whole day! The reason I didn't give 5 stars was when figuring out the details of the day, I was told we would receive 2 hair stylists and 2 makeup artists to be able to get through the amount of services we needed in the timeframe we outlined with our DOC. I even booked them 11 months in advance. Unfortunately when we showed up to the venue that morning, there was only 1 hair stylist and 2 makeup artists. While the hair stylist worked as fast as she could, it still put us 20-30 minutes behind schedule and didn't allow time for her to show me how to put my veil underneath my updo. Because of this, we were behind schedule for pictures and I wasn't able to wear my veil the way we had discussed. I wish they had been up front on capacity or communicated the change in number of hair stylists assigned to our wedding. The ability to get 10 hair and 10 makeups done in 4 hours was the main reason I choose Oasis.

Ascendance Productions LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Jackie, the lead makeup artist, was a true professional who responded quickly to all of our inquiries and kept us organized throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Jackie demonstrated her passion for her craft and the quality of her work - my makeup looked flawless and natural, and I received compliments on it all evening. We even had some extra time remaining, and Jackie was able to spend additional time ensuring I looked my absolute best. The second artist who came to help with the bridesmaids' hair was also very kind and professional, though she did seem a bit rushed at times. Some of the bridesmaids hair did not stay and required some extra hairspray and re-curling before the ceremony. Overall, Ascendance Productions LLC was a tremendous value and I would highly recommend them to any couple looking for top-notch beauty services for their special day.
