I also have to say my hair lasted all night despite all the jumping, dancing, and celebrating! And my makeup didn't smudge one bit!! I don't know what kind of magic she worked, but everything stayed flawless from start to finish. I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. I'm especially grateful that my freckles were visible through my makeup. It made me feel like the best version of myself rather than someone completely different, and I know my husband loves that little detail about me, too. Thank you for making me feel so confident, comfortable, and beautiful on such a special day!

Her portfolio speaks for itself on her artistry in both hair and makeup, so I want to highlight the things you can't see from pictures: Fei is an amazing communicator -- she gives her opinions and takes feedback in a way that doesn't make you feel insecure about your looks and preferences. I had a bit of anxiety around not wanting to look like a different person on my wedding day, but Fei was able to help me look/feel like myself while still being beautifully elevated. She also had techniques for all of my usual beauty issues -- in particular, I have fine hair & not much of it cut in layers (the enemy of most hairstyles) and my monolids always give me panda eyes within hours even with eye primer. But Fei managed to give me my exact inspiration picture hair and her eye makeup magic lasted all night! Fei is well worth the investment -- her guidance and skill helped me feel confident both on the "one day" and in the "forever" pictures. Thank you, Fei!!

From the moment I contacted Ligia she was very helpful and responsive. I went in for a trial and due to the fact that she wasn't totally happy with the results of my first trial she invited me back for a second trial to ensure I looked flawless on my big day! Ligia takes her job very seriously and is meticulous about every detail. Prior to the wedding Ligia provided me with some helpful hints on what would help me prepare my face to look its best. She did the make up for myself and 4 other women all of varying ages and skin tones and she made all of us look gorgeous and the best part was it felt amazing. I am not one that wears a lot of makeup regularly and neither are the other but the airbrush make up is awesome, it felt great and stayed put all day & night! I also opted for the false lashes and I LOVED how they looked! On top of her skills Ligia is one of the most genuine people I have ever met, from the trial to my wedding day it was so easy communicating with her and she is just so easy to be around, she just fit right in on the day of the wedding and did a phenomenal job at getting me and my ladies photo ready!

I had never had airbrush makeup and I was so glad I went with it.

I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who does great makeup, and is fun to hang out with all day.

I…read moreoriginally told her I wanted a more natural sweet look during my make up trial session and showed her my initial thinking/inspiration for hair. She captured exactly what I wanted and surprised me with her creativity in hair styling too. She took a great number of pics to share with me and asked me to think about the makeup style, types of eyelashes, etc. She could adjust anything to my taste as she is very versatile and professional in different kinds of makeup/hair styles. In the end, I decided to go with a more glamourous look with a bit more focus on. Before the wedding, Yin coordinated with me and my planner on the game plan to streamline everything and they arrived right on time to set up the makeup station and the hair station for both to go smoothly. I was really happy with my bridal look/hair (glamorous but still me) and it made me feel like a princess for my big day. The makeup stayed fresh and beautiful throughout the day and she gave me a little bit of lip color for touch-up in case it wore off. My bridesmaids and the two moms had a wonderful time with her and her team too to get pampered and dolled up! Thank you for making my wedding day so special.

Not happy with how my highlights came out. I just wanted basic highlights on my dark blonde hair,…read morebeen getting them for many years, 2-3x a year. I had booked an appointment for a full foil. I was early and the stylist was late. She told me I didn't need a full foil, so we did a partial foil instead. Unfortunately it didn't come out well. First, the whole foiled section is much lighter than the back/bottom portion of my hair (so really I did need a full foil and should've pushed back on that?). I have never had such a stark contrast between the foiled and unfoiled portions... it looks pretty bad when my hair is up, and as a mom, that is basically all the time. Second, some of the highlights themselves are uneven, being super bright (almost white) closest to my roots in a few spots. Never had this happen before, either. I tried to schedule a correction, but they said I would have to pay to get the bottom foiled as that wouldn't count as a correction. Fair enough per the technical definition... but my hair just doesn't look good overall and that would be the only clear fix from my perspective, since you can't darken bleached hair. Oh well. That was a huge expense. I definitely will not return. Haircut was fine! Though they did also blow it out some after I specifically said I didn't want it (for my schedule and for sensory reasons).

Every stylist here is incredibly talented, but Courtney has been doing my color for the past couple of years, and I couldn't be happier! Not since I lived in Santa Monica, when Kristin Ess was my stylist (just before she became a household name), has anyone gotten my color so perfectly right. Before finding La Beautique, I tried at least six other salons without success. This place truly stands out--not just because of the amazing talent but also because of the atmosphere. The salon is absolutely beautiful, and the owner, Dominique, creates such a warm, welcoming vibe. Her kindness and vision set the tone for an experience that makes you feel happy and cared for every time you visit. If you're searching for the best hair color and stylists in the Newton, Watertown, or greater Boston area, look no further. Trust me--just go. You won't regret it!
