I showed her pictures of makeup and hair that I liked and she did exactly what I was looking for! I was so happy with the results and received so many compliments during the evening. It was nice to feel so pulled together and made up, but also not have to stress about doing it myself! I felt like she really listened to what I wanted and was able to execute the vision that I had for my look. She also did hair and light makeup for my eight-year-old daughter who attended the event as well and it turned out perfect! My daughter was receiving compliments all night and it made her night so special! In addition to being an excellent hair and makeup artist, Lisa was very responsive to my email follow up questions and was on time for our appointment.

Stephanie was consultative and shared her thoughts for a hairstyle that complimented my dress which was most appreciative.

Working with Michelle for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made when planning for my…read morespecial day! She is so communicative, flexible, hilarious, and overall just a joy to work with. As someone who generally doesn't wear very much makeup, I expressed that I wanted to still look like "myself" on my wedding day. After seeing countless photos from other artists who all seem to be putting the same makeup on each bride, I was a little nervous going into our trial. She captured my vision so beautifully, highlighting my features in a way that allowed me to still feel like me (but the best version!!). She was thoughtful and communicative throughout, and asked for feedback on the end result of the trial for any adjustments prior to the actual wedding. One of my favorite things about the trial was that she took photos to capture exactly what she had done the first time around. This meant that on the day of, she was ready to rock and roll with exactly what we wanted. It sounds like a small detail but ladies I cannot tell you how many other thoughts are going through your mind on THE DAY, so it was amazing to be able to show up and let her do her thing, knowing it would turn out exactly as planned. My bridal party was also SO impressed by her, and I got several compliments and "where did you find her, she's amazing" texts on the days following the event. A couple of the girls asked her for a bit more glam than I did, and she worked her magic flawlessly for their visions as well. Trust me when I say I think she can do literally anything. Do yourself a favor, work with her and see for yourself!

I stop by this MAC Cosmetics store a couple times a year when I'm at the mall, especially this time…read moreof the year, when they always have a sale and special discount going on. The store is a small, stand-alone store but it carries pretty much everything I need. Only issue is, many times I stood around waiting and there's no one in the front of the store. After a while, someone would come out from the back to assist. When you do get someone to acknowledge and assist, then service is good.

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.

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.
