Crystal has done my make up quiet a few times & every time I have loved it! So of course when it came time for me to get married I went with Crystal! She did mine, my Moms & all of my bridesmaids make up. Everyone looked/felt beautiful & looked amazing in all the pictures! Crystal is so kind, sweet & professional!

Oxidized skin within 4 hours

Erika Lua did makeup for 7 of us on my wedding day. Let me say, it was incredibly hard to find a great makeup artist in Reno who's worked on Asian faces before. With limited choices for a destination wedding, I hired Erika. I had my makeup trial on Friday before the wedding so Ieast she'd know how to do my makeup on the day of the wedding. I came out looking a bit like a clown, so I asked her to go easier on the Blush and use lighter brow color. Maybe blend my eyes better. She has a heavy hand! Instead, she said I needed that for photos. I said, sure but I want to look good in person, too... So we wrapped up and agreed on what she'd do differently the next day. 4 hours after, my foundation was a mess! The makeup entirely oxidized and this was in the middle of January. It wasn't because I sweat or was out in the sun..she used a lot of no name makeup brands or drugstore products, whereas all other makeup artists I've seen use MAC, make up forever, etc. I think that's where the problem began. I sent photos asking why this happened? How would my makeup last on the actual wedding day then, with hours on hours of photos, booze, and boisterous dancing? She was not apologetic. She said her makeup is HD makeup that's meant for photos. Ok, for 2 hours of photos max right? Before it starts melting off? So we agreed I could wear my own foundation. I warned all the girls to use their own unless they wanted to look like a melting candle. Day of the wedding, Erika was not happy that the girls had their own foundation on. She openly complained that she likes doing it herself. When some of the girls lashes came loose within 20 minutes, she refused to fix it. The girls had to fix their lashes themselves... Day of my wedding, we were in such a rush so I had no time to keep telling Erika what I wanted. I figured I'd trust her because we had a trial the day before. I didn't look like a clown, but I definitely looked my worst of all 3 times I've ever had my makeup done. My cheeks were still overdone, my brows weren't what I asked for, and my right lashes were loose. I almost wished I did the makeup myself and had someone apply lashes on for me. All in all, I would recommend going with a different makeup artist if you want wedding makeup. We got our wedding photos back and no, that makeup did NOT look any better for the camera. The skin around my eyes were a super light, pale color, and everything else was bronze. Not a good look! I kind of can't stand looking at any up-close photos of me because you can see all the flaws...

Crystal did the makeup for me and my bridal party on 5/23. I was really nervous about the makeup looking beautiful and flawless but still natural and appropriate for each girl. Everyone looked AMAZING! Crystal's makeup was the best wedding makeup I've ever seen, and I'm SO happy it was mine! I felt the most beautiful I've ever felt. It was perfect.

Make up done by Crystal Bell.

I have worked with Crystal a few times and each time was amazing not only is she very friendly and very professional,we always laugh but she does exactly what you are looking for. I'm a photographer and when I tell her my theme for my photo shoot she is on it 110% she also did my make up for a photo shoot I was in and she explained everything she was doing and I felt so comfortable and relaxed. I have seen the brides she has worked with and every single one of them looked stunning. I will always use Crystal Bell for any make up work I need done.

This was my first actual appointment with Jade, although I had already gone in for a consultation…read morebeforehand--and that consultation alone already made a strong impression and helped me feel comfortable trusting her with my hair. During the consultation, Jade took her time in a way that immediately stood out. She didn't rush through anything or treat it like a quick overview. Instead, she really listened to what I wanted, asked thoughtful questions, and carefully looked at my hair's current condition and history. What I appreciated most was how honest she was while still being kind--she didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear, she explained what would actually work best for my hair in terms of color results, maintenance, and overall health. She walked me through different possibilities and made sure I understood the reasoning behind her recommendations. By the end of that consultation, I already felt like she had a clear, personalized plan for me, which made me feel confident going into the actual appointment. When I came in for the service, Jade picked up right where we left off. She revisited everything we discussed during the consultation and made sure we were still aligned before starting. I really appreciated that she didn't assume anything--she checked in with me, confirmed the details, and made me feel involved in the process from the very beginning. Throughout the appointment, she was extremely communicative in a calm, natural way. She explained each step as she went--whether she was applying color, adjusting tones, sectioning, or cutting--and always made sure I understood what she was doing and why. It made the entire experience feel very transparent and reassuring. Instead of sitting in silence wondering what was happening, I felt included and informed the whole time. Her attention to detail was one of the most impressive parts. She didn't rush at any stage, even when it took extra time to refine things. With the haircut, she carefully shaped and rechecked sections to make sure everything flowed properly and suited my face shape. With the color, she was very intentional about tone balance and blending, making sure it looked natural, even, and well-integrated rather than patchy or overdone. Even after the main work was done, she continued making small refinements--adjusting little details that most people might not notice but that make a big difference in the final result. What made the experience feel even more special was the way Jade carries herself with genuine warmth. Even though this was my first full appointment with her, she made the environment feel very comfortable and welcoming. It never felt clinical or transactional--it felt personal in a really natural way, like she genuinely cared about how I felt during the process and how I would feel leaving. And at the end of the appointment, when everything was finished and I was fully styled, she gave me a hug. It wasn't rushed or awkward--it felt very genuine and kind, like a small but meaningful moment of connection after the service. That hug honestly made the whole experience feel even more personal and memorable. It gave a sense of warmth and care that went beyond just doing my hair well--it felt like she truly values the people she works with. Leaving the salon, I felt really happy with my hair, but also genuinely taken care of as a person. Even though this was just my first appointment, it already felt like I had found someone I could trust long-term with my hair. Jade combines technical skill, communication, attention to detail, and genuine kindness in a way that made the entire experience stand out.

One of the hardest things about moving to a new city was giving up my hairdresser of many years. I…read moredid my research before choosing Josie, the owner of Tribe Salon, and I'm glad I did. Tribe is warm and welcoming, and I immediately felt right at home. Josie spent a good amount of time consulting with both me, and my husband, on our first visit. I was impressed with her knowledge, and how well she listened. Best cut I've ever seen on hubby, he looks super hot, and I love my cut, too. I have very thick hair, but I also like layering. Josie is a rare find, she has expertise with dry cuts, and uses a special technique with layering that doesn't make the hair thin, or get split ends. Another reason I chose Tribe is their commitment to safer and more natural color products. It doesn't smell like chemicals when you walk in the door, that' s good sign. I'm chemically sensitive, but have no issues with their products. Josie is really good with color matching. My first color treatment was similar to what I've done in the past, and I liked it, but on the next visit wanted something bolder. Her next recommendation was to try violet, and I'm absolutely in love with it! It's fun to work with someone who will truly consult with you, and be open to trying new looks. I stopped by recently to buy hair products, and Josie showed me how to properly use them. Their at-home products are Oribe, same brand as the color line, I believe, and they are luxurious and effective. I'm now able to rock my style for multiple days between washings. I highly recommend Josie, and Tribe Salon, for both men and women. Josie, in particular, has worked in the entertainment industry, and she knows how to give you that extra pizazz, to make you look, and feel, like royalty!

I was…read morelucky enough to have Marissa from La Di Da on our wedding day, and let me tell you - SHE IS AMAZING. During the trial she took her time getting to know my aesthetic and what I was looking for, and made me feel so comfortable. My makeup felt like me, it was spot on and I've truly never felt so beautiful. On the wedding day, Marissa worked her magic and somehow managed to make me love my makeup even more! I received so many compliments about her and her work from the mothers and bridesmaids who also had their makeup done. I will never trust anyone else with my makeup, thank you Marissa! And a big thank you to Thea with La Di Da for helping to schedule, answer any questions I had through out the wedding planning process, and coordinate. We appreciate your girls! Can't wait to have my makeup done again in the future with La Di Da!

She softly chatted with my first bridesmaid while we were still waking up and as we all built energy - she matched our vibe every fun step of the way!! As my sister was getting her make-up done, my (now husband!) and I practiced our first dance and seeing Marissa's real-time reaction to our dance along with our small group of friends was SO. DAMN. FUN. All the while, she continued to flawlessly do hair and make-up! I have to highlight that my sister is typically hesitant to have professional hair and make-up done as she doesn't usually feel like herself. She often requests 'natural' and 'light' make-up, yet stylists typically go heavy - which is normal for photos/the industry. However, Marissa NAILED her make-up and her request and my sister said this was the very first time she'd ever received professional make-up where she genuinely loved her look. She said she felt like she was in her own skin, ~but glam. I loved my hair and make-up on the trial day, yet Marissa worked with me to make it ultimately PERFECT for the day of the wedding. We had lots of rain on our wedding day, and both my hair and make-up held up through all of it!! If you're considering La-Di-Da, Marissa is the best and will bring so much more than just great looks and hair to your day. The only reasoning for 4 stars out of 5 is for the price, it felt quite high per service. The quality was worth it in the end.

My review as the Bride…read more I had a great experience with my makeup and felt absolutely beautiful on my big day. My makeup artist Kendyl, Erika (the owner) and I had met back in April 2025 for my trial, and not knowing 100% sure what makeup look I wanted to go for, we experimented different colors during the trial. I had 6 months since the trial until my wedding day to think about what tweaks I wanted to make and there were definitely a few on my list. The big day had arrived and it was like catching up with an old friend talking to my artist. She asked what changes I had in mind since I had messaged her a month ago that I had found an image of a makeup look I was interested in, but had forgotten to submit the image. I had explained to her that the route we were going was correct, but some things had overpowered my face. My daily look is pretty much no makeup so going from bare face to complete glam was a huge 180 for me. After telling her each change that I had in mind, she pulled out the product that she had in mind after she reviewed the picture of me from my trial. It was as if she had already read my mind. Lashes too bulky, she had lashes that were more natural ready to go; foundation was a shade darker than my skin tone and felt more cakey, she had a matte foundation that matched more my skin tone; lip was looking too raspberry pink and wanted a more natural lip pink, she had the right lip stain already in her ammunition. I wanted to keep the suspense and did not look into a mirror and had my bridal party and family to be my eyes and decision makers. After all was done, I took a look in the mirror and felt like I was having an out of body experience. I didn't recognize this glamazon in the mirror and almost felt uncomfortable because I didn't believe that was me. We were supposed to have touchups done at the end but because of a late start due to construction (no ones fault) and taking a little too long to get into my dress, we weren't able to do one, but was able to squeeze in a quick powder touch up on my chest to cover up the acne. I am a crier and was nervous the makeup would not last (I've had previous experiences where the makeup was gone within hours), but it held up all throughout the entire day. My husband had complimented on how I looked and loved that he can still see me and not a complete stranger. He's used to seeing my bare face every day lol. Overall my experience, as the Bride, was amazing and loved every minute of it. I loved the interaction my artist and I had during the process. Thank you for making me look beautiful on my wedding day. I'm sad that I'll never look like that ever again lol, but who knows, people have vow renewals for a reason lol.

Women Should Empower Each Other, Sadly, That Wasn't My Experience with Kendyl…read more I normally don't post negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share my honest experience so others can make an informed decision. I had my makeup done by Kendyl as part of a bridal party, and unfortunately, the experience left me feeling uncomfortable, disrespected, and gaslighted. When I explained that I wanted a green eyeliner with neutral tones and a little glitter, she immediately questioned whether I had "cleared it with the bride," implying that I was trying to outshine her which was never the case. Her tone was judgmental and defensive from the start, making the interaction tense and awkward. She said she didn't have time to contour my face but maybe could "do it later." That "offer" was never actually followed through, and instead she continued to make excuses, saying contouring was considered "full glam" and that the bride hadn't told her I wanted that. Rather than simply moving on, she kept shifting blame and trying to make me feel like I was being difficult for even asking. I calmly told her that was fine, I could do my own contour since I had my own makeup. But when I said to just apply blush and skip bronzer so I could finish the rest myself, she became visibly agitated and said, "No. I do blush and bronzer" as if I wasn't allowed to make decisions about my own face. She also made condescending comments about makeup techniques, as if assuming I knew nothing, and later told the bride she had offered to contour me which was not true, she kept trying to make me feel bad about asking. I didn't receive lashes, only eyeliner and two eyeshadows, yet was still charged for a full service. What upset me most was how manipulative and unkind the whole experience felt. She made subtle comments that seemed intended to create tension between me and my closest friend of 24 years who is like a little sister to me, which was completely inappropriate. On a wedding day, an artist's energy should be supportive and calming, not defensive and blaming. I left feeling disrespected, lied to, and taken advantage of. I hope this review encourages more professionalism, honesty, and empathy in future client interactions. A makeup artist's job isn't just about skill, it's about helping people feel comfortable and confident, not criticized or manipulated. At the end of the day, women should empower each other, not tear one another down. Kindness, respect, and integrity will always be more beautiful than any makeup look.

Rachel is such a positive personality and highly skilled at what she does…read more I came in for a color correction of black henna AND boxed dyes. She was playful and easy to talk to and also very upfront about cost, time, and expected results (that weren't favorable because of what I'd done #CardinalRule). However, she took her time, she was present through the process, attentive, and still pulled of a result better than either of us were prepared for! I also actually appreciated seeing her consult live with other specialists in the salon. I know some people may feel like that means a person doesnt know what they're doing, but to me it was a strength. It conveyed she really cared to take care of me and not just do a good job but the *right* job. Overall, extremely friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, transparent, communicative, honest and talented. Will 100% be looking to book with her for future needs. Great vibe.

HIGHLY RECCOMEND!! I cannot say enough amazing things about this salon and these two hair stylists-…read moreBrittany and Kayla. I came in same day after going to a different salon the day before, where my hair unfortantley didn't turn out as I expected. I was stressed and honestly nervous to trust someone else with my hair especially being blonde & having handtied extensions... but the second I sat in their chair, they were comforting, reassuring, and so kind. They took the time to really listen, walk me through the entire process, and explain exactly what they were doing to get my hair where I wanted it to be. Brittany did my highlights & Kayla did my sew in extensions & they both put aside time to work together and figure out the best color match for me. Their energy is friendly, easy to talk to, and instantly puts you at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and their confidence. They also kept in mind the integrity of my hair and keeping it healthy which was really important to me. I left feeling so much better about my hair and the whole experience. They made me feel safe, understood, and taken care of. If you need stylists who goes above and beyond these are your people! Can not say enough good things about this salon! Absolutely outstanding and amazing energy.
