I can't say enough good things about Addi! I found her online and was blown away by her portfolio…read moreand great reviews, and immediately knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my engagement pictures. Some highlights: 1) I emailed her on Tuesday and my pics were on Sunday. Not only did she give me an appointment on such short notice, she is also 39 weeks pregnant! I couldn't believe she was willing to do my makeup the weekend before her baby is due. She is so passionate about her job and truly cares about her clients, even if she's never met you before. 2) I never wear makeup so I was pretty nervous about how it would turn out. Addi took time to listen to what I was looking for and we talked about some of my previous (bad) experiences with makeup so that she also knew what I didn't want. Throughout the session, she continuously asked me how I felt and always made sure I was comfortable with the way it looked. Addi is the perfect makeup artist for women who don't usually get their makeup done or are a bit nervous about wearing full makeup. 3) Her studio is adorable, really clean and organized, and all her products are top of the line. 4) She is so sweet and really easy to talk to. My makeup, including eye lashes, took a little over an hour but the time flew by because we were chatting away. She even offered to run into her house and get me an umbrella since it was pouring out. Addi is truly an incredible makeup artist, and I left feeling comfortable in my own skin. People kept telling me how great of a job Addi did enhancing my natural beauty, which is exactly what I was looking for. I got a sneak peak of my engagement pictures and my makeup looks amazing. I can't wait to book Addi for future events, and I have my fingers crossed she'll be available to do my makeup on my wedding day. :)

I was recommended Addi by a hair stylist for my wedding. I did a phone consult with her. She was…read moreincredibly rude and dismissive, -- particularly of my need for her to work with particular products that would not flare my skin sensitivities -- that is, until she saw a photo of me and realized I was pretty. When it seemed like there could be a way forward, I asked to see a copy of her contract, and she got upset with me for asking. She then told me she would refuse to work with anything "subpar" (her word) and would not work with me. Lowest moment of planning my wedding. (For the record, she was well within my budget so this was not about the cost, and I found a much better makeup artist to work with me instead.)

All my girls loved how their makeup felt light and glossy. We all really felt like Kevan and her assistant listened to our wishes. I'm really particular about my eyebrows (who isn't?!) and told Kevan I should probably just do them myself because I didn't know how to explain what I wanted. She took the time to meticulously listen to my critic as I checked in the mirror--and what do you know? My eyebrows looked absolutely perfect. I looked like the best version of myself and my skin felt incredible. Also, before she left she gave one of my bridesmaids a little lip kit to touch up throughout the night.

I would love to have Kevan do my makeup everyday, and I would 100% recommend her to my friends. My glam team was on point and I loved having them there on my special day!

The end result was not only amazing but my face had a very soft, sophisticated and a real put together look. Ever since, I feel like a new woman and have gotten compliments everyday.

The pros: Very nice, pleasant staff, especially Jane (also…read morenamed Juan?). I did a digital perm and my hair is VERY stubborn. I had warned them about this beforehand, but no one ever seems to really take me seriously LOL. In order to not damage my hair Jane took an entire 5 hrs! working on it, and was very patient the entire time. This was both a pro and a con - pro in that my hair did not come out fried, as it often can, but con in that 5 hrs is a really long time to be spending sitting in a hair salon! They made sure I had water and a bathroom break, which was very considerate. Jane seemed very knowledgeable and specifically did different treatments for the parts of my hair that hadn't been permed before vs those that had. The top layer took very well. The cons: Again, 5 hrs... I very much appreciate them not wanting to fry my hair, but maybe a little speeding up could have been done? Also, while the top layer permed well, the bottom didn't really take - see photos. Also, just FYI, but there is no validated parking. It wasn't terrible to pay the garage, but just something to be aware of. Overall I really appreciated all the time and patience they took, to specially alter treatments for different parts of my hair, and try to not damage it. If there is some kind of middle ground to be able to do the perm and have it take completely in all the hair, and with less time, that would be ideal.

I'm not sure how they have good reviews because I left here with completely destroyed lashes. I went for a lash lift and I swear the girl who did them..it must have been her first day. She was fumbling around, didn't even secure my bottom lashes, and I left with burnt lashes. They were a mess going in different directions and looked like hair that was put under a flame and burned. It took me so long to get them healthy again, I tried every product to make them look even semi-normal. I was truly traumatized. The place did not look clean or professionally set up either. Obviously I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone or go back.

I hired her to do my makeup and hair before my session with Ginny Filer Photography, and she completely exceeded my expectations. Valerie didn't just make me look beautiful -- she made me feel beautiful. She brought out my eyes, made my lips pop, and styled my hair in a way that honestly made me feel like a Hollywood star. But what I loved even more was her energy. She kept the vibe fun, uplifting, and confidence-building the entire time. By the time I walked into my shoot, I wasn't just ready... I was excited. I felt grounded, powerful, and fully in my skin. One thing that makes Valerie truly special is that she teaches while she works. I learned so much about what actually flatters my features -- like how purples make my green eyes stand out (yes, I bought a purple palette immediately!). She doesn't gatekeep; she genuinely wants every woman to know how to show up as her best self. I've already decided to hire Valerie again in the new year for a more in-depth makeup lesson so she can help me elevate my stage and speaking presence as my brand continues to grow. She's not just a makeup artist... she's a partner in confidence. I'm deeply grateful I found her through Ginny Filer Photography, and I can't recommend her enough. Valerie is the kind of woman who makes you feel beautiful at any age and any stage. She embodies women supporting women -- the kind of person you instantly feel connected to. Honestly, she feels like the best girlfriend you wish you had... and maybe she will be. - Holly Wiggins Founder, Holly Wiggins Media Ladies Level Up * FedBrain.ai https://www.linkedin.com/in/hollywiggins IG: @hollyrnay FB: https://www.facebook.com/HollyRWiggins * Behind the scenes reel: https://tinyurl.com/MakeupBrandShoot * Blog About Shoot: https://ginnyfilerphotography.com/branding-blog/2025/11/10/leveling-up-with-holly-a-strategic-soulful-brand-session

First, the stylist did not speak any English at all. He needed to call someone to translate…read more Normally this is not a problem in other businesses, but not at a hair salon where you need to be constantly communicating. I got a root perm and digital perm, but when I came out it look almost the same as before the perm. He did the root perm first and I think when he did the digital perm, he did too much neutralizer and for too long. He was doing 2 other guys hairs while he left it on for too long, even though I asked him that it's been too long. He finished cutting, shampooing, and blow drying this guy's hair while mine was getting fried. There was no sign of the root perm and my hair is now so damaged. Originally when I made the appt, he said $250 and then when I got there he said $375. I got him to bring it down to $310, and it would've been worth every penny if it came out right. Instead I paid $310 for damaged flat hair. Also, they charge extra 10% if you're using a credit card. *update: after seeing this review, they've offered me partial refund. I give them credit for reaching out.

I was convinced to try a perm with soft waves at the end, but instead they used rods for really tight curls which completely ruined the look that I was going for. The ends of my hair don't even have curls; they're just dry, brittle, and poofy and does not look at all like the inspiration photo I showed the stylist. I waited for a couple of weeks to see if the perm would settle, but it has not, and it actually looks worse. I've had perms before, and this by far the worst I've ever gotten. I'm pretty disappointed with the results, and I feel like I wasted time and money as this was quite an expensive service. I definitely will not be coming back to this salon.
