This is one of those places where if I could give 10 stars, I would. If you are a bride planning…read moreyour wedding, you MUST book with Le Beige. There is no way you'd be disappointed.
I found Le Beige online when looking for makeup artists/hair stylists for my wedding. I found them within 1 week of being engaged and I never looked back. I bookmarked the page and as soon as we had the date solidified, I reached out. To be honest (and I'm sure other brides have felt this way), I was a little anxious when I saw the pricing. It is expensive. And especially since I wanted extensions and a trial, (HIGHLY recommend you do the trial--- keep reading for the explanation), it just added more. I believe I ended up paying over $1000 just for my trial, extensions, and wedding day makeup and hair. But I'd do it all over again. Also, the services were so expensive that even when I told my bridal party the pricing, most of them opted out and were shocked at the price. Luckily my MOH and sister got their hair and makeup done, so I wasn't the only one. Others opted for just hair.
My makeup artist was Daniela and my hair stylist was Anna. I love that the artists you get for your trial are also the ones who will do your services the day of the wedding. I showed them some photos on the day of the trial, which for me was 3 weeks before my wedding. Anna was able to find some extensions that matched my hair PERFECTLY! I initially had also asked about hairpieces and they said they have many you can borrow. Anna had quite a few and I found some I liked, but didn't love that they were silver as I preferred gold (which went with my earrings). Anna did the session with the silver ones, but did everything in her power to find the same item in gold and order them for me for my wedding. At one point, she even was scouring her phone looking for them and told me how fun it was for her, as if she was on a scavenger hunt. It was so touching to see how much she cared and wanted to make me happy. Daniela was just as pleasant and honestly must have done my lip color about 4 times. And as for the eyelashes, she probably changed them about 4 times as well. Again, SO happy I booked the trial because I ended up wanting very minimal lashes and Daniela didn't have any that small, so she said she'd have to order them before the wedding.
I left my trial very pleased and felt like I owned the town with all of my errands to run--- wish I could look like that every day- Hah! However, within a few hours, I got home, and I started to notice my hair looked super frizzy. I shrugged it off initially but every 20 mins or so, I'd look into a mirror and it got worse and worse. Additionally, my hair was becoming one massive knot. I cannot stress enough how stressed I was. The extensions used were just not good quality and so past their prime. They had dried out and became a massive, tangled mess within 4 hours. I was practically in tears. I only had 3 weeks left before the wedding and I started looking for where I could get extensions installed within 3 weeks time (mind you, I've had extensions before and I hate them-- I wanted the temporary ones only for the wedding). I was so upset that I had to text Le Beige and tell them how disappointed I was and how if this is how my extensions were going to look, then I'd prefer to not get them at all. The next day, the owner, Nataliya, called me and I've never been so reassured. She immediately owned that the extensions were most likely past their prime, and she said she'd order a new set just for me. I was very touched but I was SO anxious because not only was I hesitant after my first experience, I also didn't like the length. The length they gave me went down my whole back and were very obviously fake. I wanted a little past shoulder length, which is the length of my normal hair. I told Nataliya I wanted it to appear as if it was my own hair and given the quality and length, that was not the case. She was so calm and reassuring. She said she'd order me brand new, shorter ones and have me come in free of charge to have Anna redo them so that I could test out the new ones before the big day. How could I say no to that?! Although my schedule was very busy, I made it in for an appt with Anna less than a week later. Sure enough, Nataliya was right. The new ones did the trick and I LOVED how they looked. They lasted well into the evening hours looking fresh. On top of that, Anna was so graceful about the whole thing. And she was so excited to let me know that she found the gold hairpiece for me and ordered it for the big day. :)
Running out of room, but the big day came and went without any issues. Our makeup and hair looked amazing and I cannot imagine using anyone else. EXCELLENT service recovery by Nataliya and I will constantly sing their praises to all future brides.
