If you get an employee who can execute the style curl you want and bring your own styling products I think you'll be ok coming here. The settling was clean and beautiful so that was nice.

What I love most is how attentive she is, she really listens to what you want and then brings it to life even better than you imagined. She pays attention to every little detail, and you can tell she truly cares about her clients looking and feeling their best! My hair came out absolutely perfect! So chic, classy elegant, and exactly the bridal look I was going for. It also held beautifully, which is so important. On top of that, she's just the sweetest person, which makes the whole process even more enjoyable. I feel so confident and excited knowing she'll be doing my hair for my wedding day. Highly, highly recommend!

Roya did my hair for my wedding earlier this year. My hair looked great for most of the day, and…read moreshe is clearly very talented. However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.

So, I was…read morevery hesitate when I had to pick a make-up artist for my wedding but knew I had to for pictures, plus I wanted to look great on my perfect day... who wouldn't?! I was recommended April and tried her out for a trial. I was absolutely shocked... it was me but an absolutely freaking awesome looking me. I told April I wish I could look like that everyday. After my trial, I literally stayed out as late as I could just so I didn't have to wash my make-up off. But, I won't lie. I had never had make-up done before, so I tried out two more people just to make sure. Now those other two make-up artists were really good as well, but hands down, April just got what I wanted. She saw the pictures I sent and listened to me. April told me what would and wouldn't look good with my face, my dress, and my wedding colors. Not only that, but she even tried out some different pallets on me another time, just to make sure it was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. April wanted my wedding day to be my perfect day for me. My mom and one of my bridesmaids, also not big make-up aficionados, both looked stunning the day of as well. April has an eye for make-up and skin like it's art. I felt amazing the day of my wedding from the moment I was finished from her chair from the moment my head hit the pillow a million speedy but blissful hours later. I should probably mention my day was filled with endless happy tears and 97 degree weather in a full outdoor wedding with no contingency plan for air conditioning or make-up redos. It didn't need to have one, it was perfect. To this day everyone that had make-up done by April still receive comments about how beautiful we looked that day, make-up flawless. I would recommend April 100%!

She can replicate pretty much any photo of hair or makeup you show her. When I booked her, I only needed to do a hair trial since it was a new style and I was already confident with her makeup skills. For my wedding, she came to my place and did all 4 girls by herself. Getting ready can take some time but Genna is so fun and easy to talk to that the time flew by. I ended up choosing a natural glam look and low pony with pearls that I loved. All my bridesmaids were super happy with their looks as well. I highly recommend her!

She is very responsive and very good at what she does (which is making you and your girls look stunning)! First, she didn't have a minimum service to book. I had a small bridal party so that was an issue when I was searching for a HMUA. She worked with my wedding coordinator on the timeline, and on the day of, everything went smoothly as we were getting ready (which is so important.. no one wants to be stressed out on their wedding day). Genna was punctual and arrived right on time at 6AM. She had all her equipment on her and set-up quickly (I was quite impressed on how seamless and organized she was, she even brought her own light and chair for the make-up station). She did the hair for 2 of my bridesmaids, make-up for my mom and mother-in-law, and my hair and make-up. Each of showed her a picture of what we wanted/what we were aiming for and she able to re-create. Everyone looked so beautiful!! I didn't do a trial because I live in Boston, but Genna allotted extra time for this the day of the wedding. OMG Genna did such an amazing job on my hair and make-up!! I was so happy with how it turned out and what is even more amazing is that I looked just as good at the end of the night! My hair and make-up lasted through the thousands of tears and crazy dancing at night! Also, I had this huge hairpiece and 15 foot veil that she secured so well! I was afraid that hairpiece would fall out at some point because it is so heavy, but Genna stuck it in good! She also taught my MOH how to take off the veil after the ceremony. Thank you times a million Genna for making me the most beautiful bride!

I had a very similar experience like the previous person whom gave a review with these stylists…read moredid. (On Google) I'm not too sure which one was the incredibly rude one that I had the unfortunate texting encounter with. Both of them ended up replying and I was told to never contact the salon again by the supposed "other" stylist. I am incredibly thankful that I was able to see who they truly are and how rudely they treat perfectly good and loyal clientele that are only inquiring of their services. (She thinks a bit too highly of herself in my opinion). And men, don't even bother, she said she stopped taking men's cuts because she's just sooooo in demand!! I texted her the day before close to 5:00 pm. I wasn't expecting a call or text back till the next day. (Which was fine). She instead texted me 10:30 that night. Which I thought a little odd and unprofessional. (That's a bit late to be getting back to clients and to text them). What if I just fell asleep and she woke me up? Not a good way to start off, right? So, I did text her back and asked a question... She never responded till I texted her the next day around 10:30-11ish and said, "Guess you don't want my business then". (I don't have the text message screenshot because I had written her off and deleted the conversation). She didn't reply right away, it was around noon when she defensively and unprofessionally responded. As you can see from the screenshots below, how the rest of the conversation went. If you'd like to be talked to like this by these women, then by all means, please reach out to them! If you'd rather be treated respectfully as a human being, don't even bother with them. And yes, I do realize that I said I wasn't going to go online and give a review. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that I'd let these text messages speak for themselves and let others at least see what they can avoid and not have to go through.
