Cathy and her team were amazing!…read more From the very start Cathy was very prompt with her correspondence and always happy to answer any question or concern that I had. Her services worked well in our budget and I was thrilled to book her. I did my hair and makeup trial at her home studio and she was so hospitable and offered bottled water to my MOH and I. I enjoyed how she described all the products she used and why. Unfortunately, at the end of the day my greasy/oily skin won supreme and I found myself blotting constantly and always feeling so shiny. Also, although I really liked my hair and it looked like the picture example I showed her... there was something missing that kept me from LOVING it. I shared all my concerns with Cathy and right away she assured me that these worries would be taken care of the day of the wedding. She blew me away! The makeup she applied was flawless! She used different high quality products for oily skin that gave me a matte finish but not leave me feeling cakey. I only had to blot twice from the time of application until the end of the night (10 hours!). For my hair, she took my initial hairstyle that I liked... and added extra texture to the front and side of my head. The extra pinned curls really elevated my hairstyle and the application of fresh flowers from my florist made it everything I ever wanted for my wedding hair. Thank you Cathy for making me feel so beautiful on the biggest day of my life!

A few month ago, I hired Cathy as my hair and makeup artist for my first photo shoot. I have to say…read moreCathy was very professional, came to my place on time and I really thought she did an excellent job! Fast forward a few month later, I reached out to Cathy again to book her for another session for a photo shoot. But second time around, I did not get a good vibe from her. When I reached out to her, she told me at first she was pretty sure she was free for my hair/makeup, only to text me later saying she's booked. I asked if she has other dates that are free, as I am very willing to work with her schedule. She said she's completely booked. I called her several times, sent her messages asking her other available times, left messages, none was returned. I even asked if she can refer me to someone else....but she never got back to me..completely ignored me. She honestly could care less about my business. In fact, if you check her website, the website says "As of 8/1/2017, Cathy is completely booked for the reminder of 2017". Are you serious?! From what I can gather, I wonder if it is because the makeup is only for me, rather than for a large party, probably not worthwhile for her to come out on a Sunday morning, not even for a repeat customer....what a shame... That two star is for her previous work..and zero star for this recent encounter.

She finished within an hour, which made our morning completely stress-free and allowed us to leave for our ceremony as planned. I highly recommend Kristie.

Kristie and her team provided hair and makeup services for my wedding, including bride, bridemaids,…read moregroom, and the mothers of the bride and groom. Before the wedding, I had a trial with Kristie at her salon. I really liked the high quality products she used, and she was very careful and took her time to do a good job. She was collaborative, receiving feedback and trying different things. Her makeup style is natural and polished, highlighted with shimmer and feminine colors. She has an eye for what will look nice when photographed. After the trial, Kristie remained responsive, and I mostly communicated with her over text and email. Her pricing was competitive with or even more affordable than other HMUAs of similar style. We had a large group needing hair and makeup, but she assembled a team of experienced professionals and created a schedule to stagger everyone. My party's hair and makeup looked beautiful; everyone still looked very much like themselves, just enhanced. My groom has a perm, and he was pleased with Kristie's styling which made his hair look full and neat in photos. My hair style was an elegant up-do and the face framing curls were gorgeous. My makeup stayed on all night, even after a lot of dancing. I am so pleased to have found Kristie for my wedding. We look so timeless in photos and felt great because of her and her team!

I'm disappointed with how this booking & communicated was handled. I booked a makeup appointment…read moretwo weeks in advance and sent a $145 deposit, then needed to cancel less than 24 hours after booking. Before or after sending payment, I was never told the deposit was nonrefundable. I did not sign a contract, receive a cancellation policy, or book through a website where those terms were disclosed. When I asked if the deposit could be returned, I was told that she does not return deposits. I understand businesses can have cancellation policies, but I believe a nonrefundable deposit policy should be clearly communicated before payment is accepted. I explained that I was never made aware of that policy beforehand and asked if there could be any flexibility since I canceled so quickly and the appointment was still about two weeks away. I have not received a response. Instead multiple texts ignored. My issue is not that a business has rules around deposits. My issue is being held to a policy that was never disclosed to me before I paid. Clear communication and transparency around deposits should happen if a client sends money. If it's before or after details should be enclosed. That way no one waste time asking for something they already were disclosed! JUST TO CLARIFY: The $145 deposit was paid on August 12th and the photoshoot was scheduled for August 26th. That is two weeks, not one week. I have the photographer's booking information confirming the date. At this point, what concerns me even more is being given information that does not match the actual booking details. If a business is going to enforce a nonrefundable policy, I believe the facts surrounding the booking should at least be represented accurately. You also got two texts, not multiple. A professional company owner would reply back, not ignore and reply on yelp lying about dates. I'd also like to add that the reason I chose to leave this review is because instead of trying to resolve the issue with me as a customer, my messages were ultimately ignored. I was never told from the beginning that the $145 deposit was nonrefundable, and no written policy, agreement, or booking terms stating that were ever provided to me before I paid. If your business is centered around making women feel comfortable and beautiful, especially pregnant women and brides, I think professionalism, honesty, and communication should be a major part of that experience. Being difficult over an undisclosed policy and then choosing not to communicate further left a very negative impression. For anyone considering booking, I would strongly recommend getting every deposit, cancellation, and refund policy clearly in writing beforehand. The lack of transparency professionalism, honesty and communication are what concerned me most about this experience. I've never met a business owner who keeps your money and is dishonest about all details. Do what's right if you truly cared about your business and future client's.

She has such a sweet and fun presence where you didn't feel intimidated. It felt like chatting with a really close friend. And even though we had such great conversations going, she kept it very professional and made sure we got the look I was going for. I gave her some inspiration photos and she nailed it. I felt so elegant and beautiful after she finished. (Pics attached) I also really appreciated that she was so open to feedback and did not make me feel like 'she knew better.' She was also able to work with the hair accessories I brought and made it fit perfectly with the hair style I envisioned. Though I only went for a trial, right after the session, I immediately knew I wanted her for my wedding. And on the wedding day, she and her team did a stellar job. They came on time, got right to work, and there were 0 hiccups. My entire bridal team loved their look and I am so grateful for choosing this team. Thank you so much Angela/Beauty in Motion for everything!!

Our shared bride, Caitie, as well as all her bridesmaids, looked absolutely stunning! I've worked many weddings but was very taken aback at how glowy and seamless all of their hair and makeup was at this event. Normally after standing in the sun and dancing, the wedding party begins to look a bit weathered with natural wear and tear on the overall look, especially with eye shadow smearing, etc. Cynthia and her team, on the other hand, did FANTASTIC work, with everyone looking flawless until the very end of the night! Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day. I wish I'd known about this team before my own wedding in 2024, and I will absolutely be referring her to all our future clients.
