We will be getting married in St. Thomas in Sept. arriving via cruise ship. I'm looking for a beauty shop close to the ship docks and Havensite mall to get my Hair and makeup done. I was hoping some locals there could help me out and reccomend someone.
Thanks
There is a place across the street from the dock at Buccaneer Mall- Just Cuts- 340-776-2510. Teresa is the owner.
May I ask why you aren't going thru the ship salon? I am a wedding coordinator and this is how most of our cruise ship brides get their hair done! I have seen some very nice work, and never bad! I would think this would make your life a lot easier on the day of your wedding. Not to discourage local business, just seems practical to me! 🙂
Hi Blue moon!
There is a great company by the name of Sugar and Spice Artistry! They are a nomadic beauty services company that caters to you on site at your choice of location... if you are getting married at a hotel or villa.. they will come to you!
check them out at Sugarandspice-vi.com
I agree with Sherri, sometimes the fewer moving parts the better. If you hire a wedding planner locally, they can set up everything from the rooter to the tooter... if you are watching your budget, you'll take on more work and perhaps more stress.
I would recomend:
Heather at Monicas Hair Salon at Crowne Bay Marina #340-774-1944- she did my wedding hair and was great!
And Kristina for makeup:

I agree w/ east ender... go to just cuts, ask for Kathy Smart
VI visitors, please do business with companies registered with our local Department of Licensing and Consumer Affairs. That's my suggestion. You may search their listing here: http://www.dlca.gov.vi/bussearch.asp
This does not guarantee anything, but the company mentioned will at least be accountable to the community and to you too!
Hi Blue Moon- Although I agree with lip that Kathy from Just Cuts is GREAT with hair-(she's my preference), I do think that Sherrie is right. You're probably best-off to have a salon on the ship do your hair and make-up. This for two reasons: #1- I don't know of any establishment on the island that specializes in make-up and #2 I believe that the hair needs to be done BEFORE applying the make-up.
Anyway, best wishes to you!
