Hot Mess Studio is my happy place! Tara, the owner, has created the most fun, cozy, and welcoming vibe โ€” thereโ€™s always coffee, snacks, and good energy waiting. I go weekly for blowouts with my favorite girls Alexa and Kait, who have been doing my hair for over five years! Theyโ€™re an amazing team โ€” talented, consistent, and always such a blast to be around. My blowouts, highlights and cuts are always perfect, and I get compliments every single time. Annalise, who washes my hair, is so sweet and makes me feel totally pampered every visit. All the employees are incredibly talented and professional, and the whole team truly goes above and beyond to make every client feel special. ๐Ÿ’• If you want great hair, good vibes, and to feel completely taken care of, you need to check out Hot Mess in Belmar!

Hot Mess Studio is amazing! The salon is gorgeous and they offer so many awesome services- hair, lashes, facials, etc! I got my hair styled by Janelle for a wedding and got SO many compliments all night! Tara and her staff are the best! And make sure to check out the bathroom and take a selfie ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿคณ๐Ÿ†๐Ÿ’•

Hot Mess Studio is incredible! I canโ€™t say enough good things about my experience with their team, and with Marcie in particular! Not only did she make me look and feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day, but the entire process from the trial to my wedding day was smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was how accommodating Hot Mess was with my hectic schedule. I reached out fairly last-minute, and they went above and beyond to find time for both my trial and wedding day booking. They made it all work without ever making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience, which meant the world to me. The makeup itself was flawless and exactly what I had envisioned. It held up perfectly through the entire day (and night!), and I received so many compliments. Marcie was warm, welcoming, and even finished up my entire bridal party's makeup early and never made anyone feel rushed. My bridal party looked gorgeous too! If you're looking for a makeup artist who is not only incredibly skilled but also flexible, professional, and truly cares about your experience, look no further. Iโ€™m so grateful I found them!

Iโ€™ve been getting my lashes done with Kat for over a year now, and I couldnโ€™t imagine going anywhere else! She always takes her time, is so gentle, and makes me feel completely comfortable every appointment. My lashes come out perfect every time โ€” full, soft, and exactly how I like them. Sheโ€™s truly the best!

I recently started going here from a friends recommendation and this place is AMAZING. The staff is so friendly and treats you like family. The place is so clean and cute! I go to Kat for my lash lift and tint and she does not disappoint! Her work is phenomenal and she is so nice and friendly! Would recommend anyone to go here!
