Probably fine for a bride who wants the social media celebrity bridal look. reasonably priced. No so good - late for both consult calls, does not seem to know how to do a bridal look other than glam. Bridal consult took 6 hours to come up with a look the bride did not want to go with. Communication was a challenge. Nicole gave up (my perception) when the bride asked for a different look. It was a relief when she advised us that she could not accommodate the look the bride wanted. The experience soured me on this entire "bridal make- up" thing. But again, for those really into make up or you want that "look", Nicole's style can work for you.

I have been going to Christina since I was 8 years and I could not trust or love her more. I will share this story and photos just to show her magical abilities and serious understanding of hair and hair treatments. I moved from Chicago to New York City a few years ago and was going on a last minute vacation for which I wanted to touch up my highlights. For reference I am a brunette and Christina has given me this beautiful balayage/ lighter pieces framing my face and I just needed to touch up these highlights. Let me reiterate... HIGHLIGHTS. Long story short I walked out of my nyc appointment fully blonde. Not one strand of brown hair left on my head. Like Britney spears blonde circa 2000. It was trash. I immediately flew home to Christina. Before even telling my family I was coming into town I made sure Christina was available. She worked her magic ...after laughing and getting over the horror that was my hair. But she completely transformed my hair back, which not only shows that she is good at her job but truly understands the process of the treatments and how to appropriately use which colors /treatments to obtain the best results. All in all, Christina is amazing and she will make your hair goals come true.

I found these skills with Dori. Dori is an artist who brought a refined creative vision and a strong sense of professionalism to our appointment. She described clearly how to apply make up and complimented and supported me along the way. Her work blended imagination with precision. What sets Dori apart, along with her artistic expertise, is her down-to-earth presence. She's approachable, easy to collaborate with, and genuinely listens--qualities that make her not only a gifted creative, but also a true partner in the artistic process. Dori brings authenticity, warmth, and a quiet confidence that elevates everything around her. I wholeheartedly recommend Dori for any make up endeavor as she is the kind of artist who makes ideas come to life and people feel lucky to be part of the journey. Thank you Dori!

When I went in for my trial with Dana, I had a half up look with 2 twists back, the end result was messy and had Bobby pins sticking out a lot, I had assumed this was because it was the trial and we had moved the hair quite a bit and she didn't need to take the time to clean it up as it was the trial. I was wrong as this was the same result on wedding day. I had decided to simplify my half up look that I did at the trial just a little and one twist per side instead of two, but my stylist questioned me for wanting to change and was resistant of going with a small variation. I showed her a photo for reference and was very clear in explaining and showing her what I wanted. My hair was nothing close to what I asked for, when she first showed me in the mirror what the back looked like I was left speechless and honestly horrified because it was nothing what I asked for and looked like a mess. I had to bring my mom and sister over to help see what she was doing with the back of my hair because she wasnt understanding how to clean up the style and to style it the way i asked. She didn't listen to what I wanted, did the opposite of what I asked and I was in tears sitting in her chair because I knew that my hair was not going to look how I wanted on my wedding day and had little faith that she could make it look like what I even remotely wanted. Eventually I gave up trying to tell her and show her exactly what I wanted and accepted that my hair wasn't going to be what I wanted because I was then running out of time and had to continue getting ready. I look back at the photos and am sad and embarrassed about how my hair looked that day. My bridesmaids and mom also had issues with both Dana and her partner Monika of them not listening to what they wanted and the styles looking much different than the inspiration photos given. My hair also did not stay secure and pinned up, it fell out completely during the reception and I resorted to putting my hair up myself. I am really disappointed and honestly wish I had done my hair myself, it would have saved me stress and tears on my wedding day and I know I would have actually liked my hair. I am not one to typically write about my negative experiences, but as many are looking for a hairstylist for your wedding day, I want the brides to have the best experience on their wedding day and to be happy, so to proceed with caution when booking.

I had a pretty bad experience with one of the "larger" bridal firms in Chicago who charged an exorbitant amount of money for a trial - which was awful. I then went in for a much more appropriately priced trial with Beth and was "wowed". On the day of the wedding, she did the make-up for most of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother-in-law. She made everyone look wonderful and my mother-in-law said "this is the most beautiful I've ever felt". My make-up lasted the entire day and never got that "cakey" look which I hate (as someone who doesn't typically wear a ton of make-up/foundation). Beth has a wonderful talent for enhancing people's natural beauty, which is perfect for weddings. I would absolutely recommend Beth for any bride's wedding day! I'm also thinking of taking some make-up lessons from her to get some tips on how to glam up my current routine.

A technique that entails having weeks' worth of dead skin cells scraped off of your face with a blade, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. And with the dead skin cells also goes those fine hairs that makeup always clings to -creating that pancake look. Book a dermaplane session, but kick it up a notch by scheduling a hydrating facial with it. It takes about an hour of your time, costs about $100, but what you're left with is ultra ultra silky and smooth skin that begs to be touched. It feels like satin. People, I'm telling you.

I have had others do my brows and lashes but so far no one has done as good of a job as Karen. My brows are rather uneven, and i appreciate how she gets them looking pretty much alike. I have never been able to do that. Also, she will put you totally at ease while doing more personal type waxing. Her technique is fairly pain free too! I have pulled off bandaids that hurt more. The atmosphere here is calm and quiet. I much prefer the atmosphere here to Benefit which was noisier and where you got the hard sell to buy makeup after your services. If you are looking for a good brow expert or someone to put you at ease during waxing that , let's face it, can be a little embarassing, I recommend Karen. Other services include facials and spray tanning though I have not done those. The salon is next to Catch 35 at 25 South Washington. It is on the second floor.
