Melissa was able to give me the simple, clean look I was going for and the airbrush lasted all day since we had it done that morning for our evening wedding. Melissa was also able to do a more intricate make up for my sis. She was very flexible and able to give my grandma a flawless look Likewise, Elsa was able to do 2 updos, waves for me, and my grandma's hair. My hair made it through a choreographed first dance that involved multiple spins and dips I am so glad we did a trial run for both make up and hair. It helped relieve stress and narrow down how I wanted my make up and hair. The beautiful life team also did an amazing job of collecting our inspiration looks and booking us with a team with more experience in the looks we all wanted. The only hiccup was a mistake on the schedule sent out a few days before the wedding. I seemed to have received another wedding group's schedule along with mine. In addition, my schedule had a different hair and make up team listed. I freaked out thinking we were not getting airbrush as we planned since Melissa was the only one that did airbrush at the time. This was corrected the next day after I reached out for confirmation. I would definately book this team again and I also get facials with Melissa every month

She would keep saying 10 mins and it took an hour later I was supposed to be ready for my engagement party and she made me over an hour late. My make up had discoloration my eyeshadow was on my nose, my eyeliner was the worst eyeliner I've ever seen, this was the make up look I showed her to do and this is what she did. I had her booked for me and 5 other girls for my engagement party and once I left she canceled on my whole event. Most probably because she knows how bad she did. I then asked for a refunded and she started to speak foul to me staying the reason she did so bad was because I'm " buried to my phone and correcting every little thing." Not once was I rude to her work I tried to not make her insecure on her work but she made me feel so insecure with my make up on my day. I came home wiped it all off and now way more late. Not only that but on her yelp she says her make up is only $60 but she tried charging me $75 and then gave me a "discounted price" for supposedly $65. Worst service & worst make up I've ever experienced.

Clearly my makeup skill level is at Novice (euphemistically referred to as "low maintenance") going into my session. I was getting decked out for a party, and I wanted to look my absolute best -- and be able to keep my look through several hours of dancing. Before even getting started, Kimiko made sure to talk through some of the options with me, getting a feel for how dramatic I wanted my look to be, how I felt about contouring/shimmer/other fancy makeup stuff, and tying in my makeup with the rest of my outfit. I had no idea makeup could be this intense, but it was definitely a sweet indulgence for me! And of course I looked fabulous. ;)

I was seated quickly, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming throughout the visit. I treated myself to a gel pedicure and a builder gel manicure. The salon hd a relaxing atmosphere, and I appreciated that I never felt rushed. Unfortunately, the quality of my manicure didn't quite meet my experience. My guilder gel wasn't as smooth was I had hoped and had a few noticeable bumps, and the gel polish started chipping after three days, which was disappointing considering the service. I spent $150 for both services. I'm willing to give them another chance because everyone was so kind and welcoming, and I'm hopeful my next visit will have a better outcome.

I discovered them through their Instagram work on brides. They had a monthly special for balayage/ombre styles, so I went there to have my ombre corrected. My hair before Mix was so brassy, and the ombre wasn't blended as well as it could have been. The great thing about the Mix Salon is that all the employees are trained in Jay Rua's ombre technique. These women are always on top of their trends, and I believe they go to different hair shows to learn new techniques and to stay on top of their hair game. Their salon is small with a total of 4 employees: 3 stylists and 1 assistant. I feel that it was great though because it really feels like visiting a happy family. They also all work as a team, always asking each other for advice for the technique or method used on hair. Gema was my primary stylist for the visit, and Elsa worked as her back up for a portion of the time. They mainly worked as a team when applying the bleach to my hair. This made my hair evenly process, so I did not have any random spots where the front was lighter or dark than the back. Overall, I'm very happy with my hair, and I've been dying to go back. I just need to find the time and save up the money. It is such a cute and comfortable place. It definitely worth giving Mix Salon a visit.
