    Went to have my hair done by Rozeta. Showed her a picture of the style I wanted, she said she could do it. After about 4 braids, she went to order lunch. I looked in the mirror at the braids and they were nothing like the style I requested. When I mentioned this to her and showed her the pictures again, she asked if I wanted her to start over. I said yes. She began to pull and yank on my hair, I asked her if she wanted me to take out the braids. She said, are you tender headed? She did one braid and asked me to look at it to see if it was what I wanted. It was not! She began to yank on that braid. I told her I would take it out by myself and find someone else who could do the style. She charged me $15 for washing my hair and I never received my receipt which I asked for twice before leaving. Very unprofessional! If Rozeta couldn't do the style she should have said so up front instead of wasting my time and trying to make a quick buck.

    I have never had a reason to write a review like this before, and I thought long and hard about…read moredoing so because I don't want to hurt someone's business. However, it was because of the many positive reviews I read on various platforms that I initially sought and hired Abby to provide hair and makeup services for my wedding. One month before my wedding, without ever having had a trial session, Abby abruptly canceled our contract. Though she promptly returned my deposit and gave me the names of a few studios that "may have some last-minute availability," she left me in the lurch with only a few weeks to go before my wedding. Knowing I would have to scramble to find a replacement, if I could even find one, during a highly stressful time was devastating. I write this now as a warning to other brides so they don't find themselves struggling to find a last-minute replacement at the worst possible time.

    I've been seeing Abby for years for all of my cuts and colors! She is so knowledgeable,…read moreprofessional, and detail-oriented. She's great at replicating haircuts I've asked for while filling in face-flattering details and building volume into my fine hair. She also chooses her hair products carefully, and I always leave with healthy, vibrant hair and helpful advice on how to maintain it. Also, importantly, she has a very warm heart, and I enjoy talking with her at every session. Can't recommend her highly enough

    When I first saw Cassandra G. at the Yelp March Madness event she was painting her own face and…read moredoing a great job I have to admit. After a while I decided to get my face painted, and my main reason was just to make my kids jealous (I know right.) There were several designs that were laid out on the table, or I guess I could have had something made up, but I choose Iron Man. With the design, I was given the choice of gold or yellow, and I picked gold since it was more like the original. The entire process was relatively easy and Cassandra has the most gentle touch. It was so gentle you could barely feel her hand. She was excited while doing the painting and liked the fact that it was my first time ever getting my face painted. I was impressed with the quality of the work. After everything was done I was told that I could eat, drink or do whatever I wanted with the paint on and it was non toxic. When I went to wash the paint off, there was no scrubbing required, but it did take a few washes since I did use a deep red, and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't stain my pillows. I would recommend Cassandra G of Character Paints. Maybe the next time I go to Animazement or something I will give her a call to see what she can do.

    "Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: With great power comes great…read moreresponsibility. This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-man." - Spider-man, 2002 So last night (Mar-5) was the Yelp Elite event with an appropriate theme to March Madness, at the Tobacco Road Sports Cafe, and to help everyone getting into the spirit of things, Character Paints with makeup artist extraordinaire Cassandra was also invited to give folks some face paints sporting pride from their Alma mater. Since I have no horse in race to ACC championship I have decided to forgo any shade blue or red or gold or crimson or orange and picked some nontraditional facade, and since my ultimate Marvel superhero is Spider-man, and it is amazingly available, albeit in the traditional red mask on the selection sheet, I decided for one night I shall be the friendly neighborhood crime fighter. Cassandra is a master at her craft, even if I had thrown in a curve-ball and wanted a superhero split personality, spidey on one side, venom on the other. Have you seen my new profile picture? I'm sure that picture speak a thousand words. I would not be surprised if I get called upon to fill in the role in the upcoming Marvel comic blockbuster films.
