Hearing him teach and coach Chloe during my appointment was such a nice experience and really showed how much the team values quality, education, and helping their stylists grow. I had to bring my son with me, and everyone was so accommodating and welcoming. I was nervous because it had been a very long time since I'd had a haircut, but Chloe & Matthew answered all of my questions and made me feel completely at ease. I was so happy with my haircut that I booked another appointment before I left. I'm already looking forward to coming back!

The Text messages I do have, are confirmed appointments that changed three times by the salon . The text doesn't say partial highlight nor full highlights for that matter. The only scene caused was by Ashlee berating me for saying I booked a full highlight . She scolded me like a two year old demanding respect . If anyone in the salon was uncomfortable it was because of her . You weren't there. Ashlee made cry . The whole thing was uncomfortable and awkward. I would be equally embarrassed as a salon Owner to say you back up your stylist 100% considering the photos I posted . Any decent stylists would admit the cut was less than acceptable and offer to fix it . I'm just. Baffled on how you're proud to have that horrendous hair cut as proof of stylist work . Apparently the bar is pretty low for the work produce in your salon.

Working with the Samantha Keefauver's team was such a wonderful experience! Throughout the planning…read moreprocess, they were incredibly responsive, professional, & kind. As a wedding planner, communication with beauty vendors is especially important when building a timeline, since the wedding day typically begins with hair & makeup. Having their input & timely responses when I first started creating the timeline was so helpful & made the process much smoother. They were always happy to answer my questions & never made me feel like I was inconveniencing them, which is something I truly appreciate. On the wedding day, they were professional, kind, & wonderful to work with, & everyone's makeup turned out beautifully! I would absolutely love the opportunity to work together again & highly recommend them to couples looking for a talented makeup artist.

I'm so glad to have had Samantha provide wedding day makeup services for me and two wedding guests…read more She is highly skilled with different kinds of makeup application techniques, very responsive in communications, detail-oriented, efficient with time, and listened carefully to preferences and feedback. She even spent time to propose a detailed schedule to accommodate the limited availability of the hair stylist I chose. Her sweet, positive demeanor made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed during the hectic morning we had to get ready for the wedding. She took a print-out of notes from my makeup trial and referred to them to ensure that every detail we had discussed was incorporated. The makeup looked incredible and lasted throughout the night. I can't thank you enough, Samantha, for helping me feel beautiful inside and out on such a special day.

Long story short I had paid Daniel a deposit to have my makeup done for my wedding September 26, 2020 that I had to cancel due to covid. I let him know that I wasn't planning on rescheduling my wedding at the moment but asked if he could do my makeup for a family photoshoot instead. With less than two weeks notice daniel made himself available with no questions asked and fully honored my deposit that most artists would have not honored, not refunded, or charged as a cancelation fee. His kindness, hospitality, skill, and art always exceeds my expectations. I rarely get my makeup done but when I do it's with Daniel, period. Can't wait to see how our family photos turned out.

Just finished my Brazilian wax with Marri! Every 5-6 weeks is the best to keep it maintained!! But,…read moreI started coming to Marri when I was newly pregnant in the beginning of 2022. I just didn't want to deal with trying to shave because once you get a big , pregnant belly, it's nearly impossible. IYKYK. It was my first time ever getting waxed , and a Brazilian nonetheless. I know your body and skin is super sensitive in pregnancy so I was so super worried about the pain of the wax. But Marri was so kind , welcoming, reassuring, fun, easy to talk to. I felt like I've known her for years!!! I don't think many people can say they look forward to getting waxed, but I always do because Marri is such a gem of a human. I'm so grateful to know her. Yes, it does hurt, but she's lightening fast. And she will talk to you about any and everything to keep your mind occupied, it's like a built in therapy session too!!! (Or she also does "quiet sessions" too if you prefer not to talk!!!). I truly wouldn't want to go to anyone else and I always recommend her to everyone I know !!!!

We all felt so relaxed and interested in all her expertise and light, fun conversation.

We received so many compliments from our family, friends, and other vendors! Lauren is truly a special person on the inside and it shows in her work.

She is full of positive energy and was so easy to get along with. I did a hair trial with her before the wedding to get a scope of what I wanted and she was very helpful during that - sharing pictures and advice about what options worked well/some that didn't based on my hair type and dress. Costs were very reasonable for everything compared to some others stylists I had scoped in SF/Oakland/Marin. I highly recommend Mary and Whimsy! to anyone looking for wedding hair/makeup services.

Jenn perfectly captured the look I wanted and my hair stayed perfectly through the night. I felt like a princess! Daejah's makeup look was ART! I don't wear a lot of makeup typically, and she made me feel like the very best version of myself. Also, my makeup lasted until 2am in over 100 degree heat (I needed absolutely ZERO touchups, I still don't understand). Both Jenn & Daejah are so incredible - book them immediately! They are also so so fun, and we had a blast hanging out with them the morning of and they really brought the ~vibes~ for the day.
