Please enjoy these testimonials from some of Tennille's 2026 brides, sharing their experiences and kind words about being styled by Sola the Salon on their special day.
"I cannot recommend Tennille from Sola Salon highly enough! From the moment I first contacted her, through to my trial appointment and finally my wedding day, she was professional, friendly, organised, and incredibly talented. She listened to exactly what I wanted and created a hairstyle that was even more beautiful than I had imagined. Not only did my hair look amazing, but it stayed perfect all day and night despite all the dancing! Tennille also did an incredible job with all of my bridesmaids’ hair. Each style suited them perfectly, and she made sure everyone felt beautiful and confident. Everything was completed to such a high standard and looked absolutely stunning. On the morning of the wedding, she helped create such a calm and enjoyable atmosphere, making the whole experience stress-free and special. I received so many compliments on my hair, and our bridal party was complimented all day long. Thank you, Tennille, for being such an important part of our wedding day and for helping us all feel our absolute best. Your talent, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. I would highly recommend Tennille and Sola Salon to any bride looking for a hairstylist who truly goes above and beyond". -Renae Torrisi, Ingham
