Shanie is especially great at making your skin look divine--after my trial, she recommended some products and approaches for my skin, which I am using many months later. Shanie is inclusive, kind, and calming, which really helps on a wedding day.

She was professional,…read moretalented and (most of all) she brought a calm, positive energy to the morning of my wedding that I didn't even know I needed. She listened carefully to what I wanted, chose products based on my skin type and made suggestions that ended up being spot-on (like to add more blush for the photos.) She also did a fantastic job on my mom, who kept joking Shanie made her look "30 years younger." Her portfolio already speaks for itself and she certainly delivered on quality, attention to detail and overall vibes. I know you only get married once but... I'll be looking for any excuse to work with her again!

She traveled to my hotel in Santa Barbara after a great preview session at her Ventura studio. I don't wear much makeup normally, and she nailed the "natural" look while still making me feel like a bride. My hair and makeup were perfect from start to finish. Most importantly, her calm and friendly personality made the morning of my wedding so relaxing. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel and her team are not only extremely talented but also so friendly and approachable. They listened to what each of us wanted and made sure we felt comfortable and confident with the final look. They created such a calm and fun environment on both days and the timing was seamless and well organized, which made the getting ready process stress free. I felt so beautiful, and my mom and bridesmaids were glowing all night! More importantly, we felt confident and radiant, which made the entire experience that much more special.

*****I also posted this review on the Cashmir Beauty Salon Page - Kara's place of work, but since…read morethis is mostly about how AWESOME Kara is, I wanted to post it here too. I have been getting my hair cut, colored, and highlighted by hairstylist Kara Richard for over a year and a half now. This is the longest I have ever stayed with the same hairstylist in my adult life (let's just say I'm overprotective when it comes to my hair), which is certainly a testament to Kara's talent and abilities! Besides her incredible styling skills, (she's been dying my hair red since the first time she styled it, and everyone refuses to believe it's not natural - even friends who knew me beforehand need reminders), she seems to know exactly if you're in a talkative mood when you come in or if you'd prefer to simply zone out while your hair gets cut. Since I am a girl who loves to chat, but sometimes has off days (usually due to lack of morning coffee), I know that going to the salon will always be a great experience, no matter what. Kara is a great hairstylist, witty, and has great stories to tell! She constantly keeps up on the latest trends, but will always listen to what you want first and foremost (and deliver!). Cashmir is a lovely salon that hits the sweet spot between upscale modern and relaxed comfort. It is also probably the salon with the best view in Santa Barbara. Make an appointment with Kara and see for yourself! :)

When I approached the sales associate and kindly asked whether those services are available, she faked choked and laughed in my face before she blurted out the price, as if it was going to be out of budget. It was awful. It was as if we were in the movie pretty woman. I've never encountered such appalling behavior before. For what it's worth, the prices were actually way more reasonable than any makeup artist I had looked into, but I would never subject my family to such rude behavior.

However, there is a lot near by with 75 minutes free parking then you are charged after. While waiting for my stylist, i noticed a bridal party getting ready in a private room.

My whole experience was better than I could have asked for! I wish I could put her in my pocket and take her with me. I will definitely go back to her the next time I'm in the area!! Thank you Beth!

They made me feel at ease and did a terrific job in about 45 minutes, which was a lot faster than I was originally expecting. They work at the same time. The artists know each other well so there was a respectful and playful dynamic. Sometimes the makeup artist needing a few moments of no head movement to do things like eyeliner, and the hairstylist would ask the makeup artist to step back for before unleashing a big cloud of hairspray. It was just the perfect dynamic. I'm hiring them for my wedding in the Fall in Florida and I just can't wait!

I have tried contacting them since and maybe received one response. Last night I received an automated email from a bankruptcy lawyer stating the business has "ceased all operations effective 10/24/19" but somehow my artist is still assigned to my event and I will need to contact my artist directly with the information given in the email. HOWEVER no contact information has been given for my artist other than the first name "Gaby." We called the business contact number - just rings and goes to voicemail. We called the attorney listed in the email - basically was told to leave my information, the name of the company and how much I'm owed and my name will be put on a list.. however the impression that is being given by the attorney is that it's not guaranteed I will receive the money back and he "knows nothing" about who to contact regarding the situation.. My wedding is in 2 weeks and now I am having to stress last minute to find a hair AND makeup stylist that is available on my date. It's literally impossible. It's very clear that the company had to of known they were filing for bankruptcy within this month, yet continued to book services and accept payments from people booking for future events. It is shocking to me how a company could so easily take advantage of people and is now causing multiple brides extra stress to find a new service provider for their wedding, with little to no time to do so. I will definitely be contacting the Better Business Bureau.
