    The best thing I've done in the past month was book a facial with Zachary at Tainted. Seriously a…read morerejuvenating, completely relaxing experience at a totally reasonable price point. The studio is a complete oasis in Hartford and they've even got a new designated spa room tucked away beyond the funky vintage-chic makeup and hair bar. They're also the only studio that uses the Skin Inc tri-light technology, a REALLY cool spa-grade device with three different lights that treats acne, calms sensitive skin, and focuses on anti-aging. Paired with a soothing space, light music, enticing aromatherapy, and a lovely cup of tea, this was the most amazing 45 minutes of the week. I need to do some serious rebudgeting to trade happy hours for regularly scheduled spa facials!

    Tainted Inc was founded by Andrea, Alyssa, and Zachary, as a response to the existing, "tainted"…read moremakeup industry that capitalizes on the insecurities of their customers. They believed there needs to be a paradigm shift, so the goal of this team is to bring out the natural beauty of anyone who enters their studio - without ever pushing products. In addition to these honorable founding ideals, they're also a socially conscious small business that's both involved and invested in the local community. Last summer, Andrea and Apoman were the makeup artists for the six ladies in my bridal party, my mother, and myself, as well as their beautifully vintage-decorated studio as the getting ready location for the morning of the wedding. One of my primary concerns was choosing a makeup team who knew how to work with the particularities of Asian features, but the ethnically diverse team has an equally diverse portfolio of experience and the individual artists bring their own natural creativity and personal flair. They were even flexible enough to accommodate my request for cruelty-free makeup. I couldn't have been happier with the results! Most of all, I was impressed by their professionalism, attention to detail, and very reasonable pricing. Based on my day-of experience as well as the trial a couple months beforehand, they were by far one of the easiest vendors with whom I worked and I have absolutely no regrets about my decision to book with them. Since then, I've been a regular in the studio. I was never one for waxing, but my monthly visits to Bea have been a gamechanger for my brows. Occasionally I'll also treat myself to mini-facials with Zachary, which makes my face super happy since he's basically a skin whisperer. Next up on my list is to sign up for some makeup lessons!

    DO NOT BOOK THIS SALON! Warning to all: this has been the most unprofessional experience of all my…read morewedding vendors. I booked them after reading multiple positive reviews online. Upon booking, I included a $500 deposit for my trial hair and makeup. When I tried to book my appointment they had very limited availability. We finally agreed on a date and time that worked for both of us as I live in New York and would be traveling to get there. When I arrived for my hair and makeup trial the salon was completely closed down. It is a hole in the wall and I was stuck waiting in the back parking lot for someone to show up. After I finally got a hold of the owner she claimed it was a "scheduling glitch" even though I had confirmed it on three separate occasions including an automated confirmation sent from them. The owner didn't even bother to come and open the salon and make sure everything was set up for their bride. Just left it in the hands of the two artists that didn't show up. When I ultimately decided not to move forward their additional services for my wedding, months in advance, she refused to give me my $500 deposit for my trial back. Services not rendered. How could I trust them after they couldn't even handle being organized enough for a hair and makeup trial? She was extremely rude in her email reply. NOT someone you want to trust with your wedding day. A nightmare.
