    I got married last weekend & was blown away by how gorgeous Agne & her team made me & my bridesmaids look & feel. She listened to what kind of look we each wanted then executed everything perfectly. Our wedding guests commented saying how "stunning" everyone looked. Agne really enhances your natural beauty without making you feel or look like you have a ton of makeup on. She & her team are extremely professional, friendly & such a pleasure to work with! I HIGHLY recommend Beauty Affair for your wedding or anytime you want to feel like a supermodel!

    Agne is so talented! she listen to you and figure you out right away. Her skills are rare in this industry. I used Agne's make up for a photoshoot with a my model, and here its the result, very classic, timeless look. I recommend her any time for any occasion! I will be using her services again in the middle of February for a wedding I am going to, and will review again. Until then!

    My wedding hair by Agne Skaringa

    I got married on April 21st of this year, and I booked Agne to do my hair for the "day of" in addition to her team to do my bridesmaids' hair and makeup. I could not have been happier with the results. Not only did I get numerous compliments (and counting because to this day friends and family are still raving over my hair), I also felt glamorous and beautiful. I wanted an updo that was unique, and after showing Agne some inspiration photos, she knew exactly what I had in mind. In fact, the execution was even better! My hair lasted the entire night, and let me tell you, I danced my heart out on the dance floor. I also want to write about Agne's level of professionalism, which was just wonderful. I secured her for my wedding a year in advance and throughout she kept in contact with me, having me fill out questionaries and frequent important reminders such as when to schedule my trial run. I felt as though she thoroughly cared about making my vision come through. In fact, even after my wedding she asked how I liked everything. As for my bridesmaids, Kelly from Beauty Affair styled their hair and Jordan did their makeup. Each bridesmaid loved their natural, yet elegant looks. I highly, highly recommend a Beauty Affair for anyone's wedding needs.

    My hair just before the ceremony

    I booked the Beauty Affair for my wedding this past March (3/27/21). There were 6 bridesmaids, 3 flower girls, & myself (the bride), which whom all have different hair textures and lengths (kinky, curly, fine, wavy/ long hair, short hair). Agne & her team truly blew me away. I didn't have a hair/ makeup schedule for everyone and Agne was kind enough to create a schedule for everyone to ensure everything went smoothly. Her line of communication was always open weather through text, email, or phone. She was always ready to assist with any questions or concerns I had. The day of the wedding she and her team arrived on time & prepared with all the right tools and hair products. Agne along with her other stylist went out of their way to make sure everyone's hair looked perfect. Agne even washed & dried my hair extensions for me because I was to busy & tired to wash them the night before. They were both so positive and fun to work with. Their energy was great and you could tell based on their knowledge & actions they were real professionals who know everything there is to know about hair textures and styling. They really care about making everyone look great & feel happy. Agne & her other stylist were able to execute with perfection myself, along with all my bridesmaids & flower girls in just a few hours. Not only did everyone's hair look AMAZING, more importantly, the curls & styles actually held up the ENTIRE evening looking freshly curled with a beautiful shine (mind you, this was an outdoor wedding). All of our curls stayed bouncy and in place, and with zero frizz! I was so happy. Before Agne and her team left they made sure everyone was happy with their hair and offered any final touch ups. Agne also advised me to do a quick brush through my hair after changing into my reception gown for the dinner and reception, assuring me that the style she created would hold the entire evening & look fabulous. I followed her instructions and did the quick brush through after changing dresses, and my hair looked simply beautiful. The hair products she used on us gave everyone's hair a beautiful shine with zero product build up, allowing me to brush through my hair with ease, while keeping all the curls held in the proper place. I'm going to post a few photos for reference..The last photo of us kissing with the desserts was at the very end of the evening; you can see in the photo how nicely my hair held up outdoors and dancing all night. When myself and a few bridesmaids woke up the next morning, our hair still looked great.lol All we had to do was quick brush through, and this was the day after the wedding! A special thank you again to The Beauty Affair, you & your team took so much stress off the bride, allowing all of us to sit back and have the best time getting ready & looking fabulous the entire evening. The Beauty Affair is worth every penny and then some! Don't hesitate booking them, you won't be disappointed.

    I was blessed to have Agne of beauty affair take care of all of my beauty needs for my wedding which occurred on Thursday May 22 2014 at the Jonathan beach club in Santa Monica. From the moment that we met for the trial a couple of to the prior to my big day I knew I was in expert hands. At her home studio she played soothing music and talked with me about the kind of look I was going for and then she set about transforming me into a bride. I am not a very make up kind of girl, I rarely do stuff to my hair and all I can say is the results were amazing. I loved the naturalness of the look and he romantic style she gave my hair. Agne's overall vibe is so sweet and soothing that I felt comfortable and confident that she would do a good job and she did! On the day she was calm, confident, prepared and when it was time to walk down the aisle she was right by my side checking all the details and I felt great! For any hair and make up needs I recommend Agne highly.

    Thank you Agne for the beautiful makeup!

    It was my first time ever coming here, and I gave Grace my complete trust. I requested a hush cut…read moreservice, and I absolutely love how my hair turned out. Grace immediately got to work after we communicated what I was looking for, using the reference photos she asked for along with her own input as a hush cut specialist. The salon itself is very clean, airy, and modern. Despite looking small from the outside, it doesn't feel small at all. There's no strong chemical smell from hair dyes, ammonia, or bleach, which I really appreciated. The staff are super friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. I would definitely come back again in the future. After the cut, my confidence level boosted so much. Thank you Grace.

    When reasonable pre-service questions about timing, sessions, cost, and hair health are treated as…read morea problem, that's something potential clients should know. I reached out before booking a $500-$600 hair service because I genuinely care about my hair and wanted to be thoughtful before committing. I asked straightforward questions about how many sessions it might take, how long it would take, pricing, and how my hair health would be handled. These were not abstract questions. They were about my own hair and my own money. At first, I was told I could come in for a more direct consultation. When I followed up and asked when a good time would be, the tone changed. I was told this is "not an educational organization," that questions about my own hair should be directed to my previous stylist, and that consultations were not available because they were "too busy," especially on Fridays and Saturdays. That honestly caught me off guard, especially after being encouraged to come in. It started to feel like asking questions at all was unwelcome. What bothered me wasn't that they were busy. I get that. It was how I was shut down. Instead of simply saying we might not be the right fit, the responses felt dismissive and made it seem like I was being difficult for wanting clarity. I stayed polite the entire time and never asked for anything unreasonable. I just didn't want to walk in blind. This experience was especially disappointing because I chose this salon intentionally after reading negative reviews and believing the public responses showed care and accountability. I understand every business has bad reviews and nobody is perfect. But after this interaction, those reviews suddenly made a lot more sense. I'll be honest: I almost booked based on the photos alone. The work looks beautiful. But talent isn't the only thing that matters. Integrity, communication, and having a client's best interest in mind matter just as much. Sharing this so others know to read beyond the pictures and decide for themselves what kind of experience they want. No one should feel small or brushed off for asking questions before paying for a service.

During that time, the stylist says she's busy go talk to assistant. the assistant doesn't know prices, she has to "look them up on her screen" and has to find her login password.. I wait then she.. gets a phone call, but she doesn't not put the phone caller on hold; instead, she prioritizes the call over an in-person guest who had already been waiting. At this point I'm just over it.. this salon has no basic service standards. So I write a short review. But the real issue is the salon manager, Cathy. See screenshot Rather than acknowledging the experience or taking responsibility, her response to my review was defensive, dismissive, and borderline hostile. She reframes the situation and even added a passive-aggressive comment along the lines of "too bad we can't review you." Wow! That last remark says everything about the culture here. Customer feedback should be met with accountability. A manager who responds vengefully instead of constructively tells you everything you need in how guests are valued. If this is how concerns are handled publicly, I would be very cautious about how problems are handled here about your hair!

The stylist was very knowledgeable about curly hair which I attribute to the cost of their service. I don't think I'd return for color again but will definitely return for the deva cuts. It could be helpful to give customers a rough estimate of the booked service so we get the chance to financially plan instead of being told the price once we're in the chair- at that point, I feel most customers could feel obligated to comply.

Finding the salon was easy and there was parking right out front, which made it even better. I stay in South Pasadena on weekends at my boyfriend's house, so I decided to give it a try. EJ was incredibly kind and welcoming. I arrived a few minutes early while he was finishing with another client, and he saw me right at my appointment time. He also offered drinks and snacks, which I really appreciated because I definitely needed the caffeine boost that day. He washed my hair and gave me the trim I desperately needed, removing all my split ends while still keeping my hair long just like I asked. I'm always nervous about losing too much length, but he really listened and delivered exactly what I wanted. His station was also very cute and calming, with plants around the mirror and a dream catcher. I deal with anxiety, so I really appreciated his relaxing energy during the appointment. I usually get my trims done in Beverly Hills with my longtime stylist, and I was pleasantly surprised that the price here was about the same -- $120, which is pretty standard for a good trim in Beverly Hills as well.

She consistently gives me the most amazing razor-cut shags that don't require the extra curling and blow-drying I've seen other stylists have to do to make it even resemble a shag. I can wake up, put some Hairstory products in, and I'm good to go. The way Rae cuts my hair gives it texture and shape, making it less bulky and complimenting my round face. She also gives me the most fantastic curtain bangs, fringe, and wings to flip out my hair. I recently took a new driver's license photo, and thanks to Rae's haircut, it was the first DMV picture I didn't massively hate. She's trained by Jayne from Edo, the Shag Queen that you've probably seen all over Instagram and TikTok, but it doesn't cost a fortune. Plus, Rae is the nicest, most down-to-earth stylist, so it's always good to see her, and the space in Highland Park is very chill.

After my first and only appointment, she left me with bangs that had some strange long pieces on one side that went over and kept poking in my eye. Not only did it not look right aesthetically (others later confirmed what I was seeing), it was physically annoying. Although everything else was great as far as the cut, this was clearly an oversight that, for whatever reason, neither of us did noticed at the time of the appointment. Frankly, although Rae does not charge as much as many very expensive hair stylists, she is *not* inexpensive and this was the most that I've ever paid for a haircut. I felt that I should not have to correct anything myself plus I did not want to mess with her work at all. After contacting her about this very small matter, as I was willing to make the effort to go back to her to have this corrected, she ghosted me. Instead of being agreeable and embodying all of the positive things she purports to believe in and represent via her Instagram page, she apparently decided that I would be "a difficult client." (And apparently this is a thing with hairdressers, as I found mention of this on a hairdressing professionals site.) There was absolutely no consideration for my feelings. I am far from a difficult client. But the client should be happy, and she could've done a couple of snips and that would've been that. Instead... After receiving no reply via phone after leaving her a couple of messages, I finally had to find her on Instagram and sent her a photo of my obviously uneven bangs. Apparently now fearing that I would post something negative to her account or leave a bad review somewhere, she offered to refund the entire cost of the haircut rather than make this quick fix. I was floored. While happy to not have to end up paying my hard-earned money to someone who basically was cruel to me via her respect for only her feelings with none for me, I knew that she was paying me off. As I didn't want to spend any more time or energy on this or her, she's been successful with that until now. But she's come up again, and I can see all of these great reviews and the feelings of rejection have returned. So I must be such an asshole to deserve to be treated like one, right? No. Our session together was perfectly normal, and Rae just cannot accept that she could make such a small oversight and that a client may not be 100% happy with her work--i.e. she exists beyond reproach. She's an artist, mind you! If you can be happy with that, yes she does good work and it seems that most of the time she gets it right with clients (particularly if they have lots of Instagram followers, I suspect but cannot ascertain) or they just don't bother or feel comfortable mentioning any dissatisfaction. I just don't like people thinking they can treat others like trash because they are an artist in some high-priced field. It's a fucking haircut attached to a human being. Just be a nice person and have some grace.
