Unfortunately I'm going to have to give Cristine from Alter Ego Makeup a 1 star due to lack of…read morecommunication. Everything with Cristine started out great. Her pricing was reasonable and she seemed pretty friendly during phone/email conversations. When my wedding party finally decided on a destination to get ready for hair and make up, Cristine mentioned she didn't want to drive that far. Keep in mind, the destination was only 6 miles away from where we previously considered getting ready. I offered to increase my travel fee with her, and all was fine. Once we settled on the hotel I never heard back from her. She never returned my emails or phone calls, even to let me know she was no longer interested. I'm so glad this happened because it scared me to think of what could have happened on my wedding day. I'm so glad I went with Natalie Cusson, she was amazing.

Cristine was perfect for my wedding! She has a spunky and lively disposition which is perfect for a…read morebride who is excited about her makeup and her big day. She made a really sweet effort to get my daughters involved and comfortable during the trial. I was new to airbrush makeup and she's the only one in the area who does it which was a big plus too (especially because her rates were the best in town!) People told me my makeup had never looked better and the pictures really made my skin look flawless:) I was really glad we did a trial because we worked out some of the kinks that night so my big day would be perfect. What I learned during the trial that I would pass on as a tip is if you are more interested in what you look like in person rather than in pictures especially for day events just ask Christine to go lighter on the primer and airbrush,...she will be happy to do it! Also if you twitch make sure to go for the strip of fake eyelashes rather than the individual ones...I'm a twitcher and it made it hard on Cristine:( Last but not least, Cristine saved my bootie by getting me an AMAZING hair stylist at the very last moment during wedding season. I can honestly say that Deedee (I am almost sure her name was) made my hair look like a princess with natural flowers woven into a beautiful french braid that seriously held till the next morning. Deedee was a calming presence and even jumped in and started putting extra flowers in the whole wedding party's hair of her own accord when she was done with me...she was a total sweetheart and her and Cristine worked in perfect tandem which was a huge time saver!

I really wish I had read these reviews before booking Annette for my wedding. Like the other…read morereviews, I had contacted Annette via email and one or two telephone conversations. I also had tons of pictures and even a how-to video that I had emailed her to show what we wanted on our wedding day. She responded saying that she loved the pics and had done these styles before. She lied!! My sister and I both wanted '40s style hair (like the one described in Kelly G.'s review) and the two mom's just needed a style on their short hair. When my mother in law came out unhappy from her hairstyle I was surprised. Later I discovered that Annette hadn't listened to ANY of her input. Ugh. We practically had to beg my mother-in-law to come back into our room to do the makeup session. All of our make-up looked the same - horrible. It was cake-y, way too light and not fitting for our individual faces. My sister (MOH) brought in the pics we sent her and showed Annette the stark difference before she did my hair or makeup. Annette couldn't see what was wrong. Not professional. She struggled to get my veil on right, raising her voice to me when I asked her to move it back. After we asked for changes, Annette was disrespectful, rude at times and very unprofessional. Thank God for my sister's skills. Otherwise the whole party would've looked horrible for my big day.

Again...why is it that people are providing a service or are in a service oriented business and…read moreseem to be in a hurry. It's as if everyone is just too busy for you these days. I heard 'I have a client right after you so I have to move along quickly." Is that really my problem? Someones poor scheduling and organization is really not my problem. Give me a break. This was my day and being short with my family because God forbid they might have a finger in the way does not give anyone the right to be snippy or rude. Again. This is my happy day. Yeah the end result of my hair was not what was in the picture. The picture had a soft look about it, and was simply gorgeous. Ummm yeah I was given the low budget version of that picture. My make up??? Oh yes I chose to have my make up done. I'm not sure what that was about, but I really should have just done it myself. I expected a flawless finish using some kind of better quality make up. I don't know what was done but I was not flawless. Little effort and time was spent on the make up. I got the low budget version again, and before dressing into my wedding dress...had to touch up! The one positive thing....cause I do have a positive. Wait I have 2 positive things. She was punctual, and my hair did not move. Didn't matter if there was a gust of wind, or a whip quick kiss by hubby...my hair did not leave it's position all day. Good hairspray!

I was in San Francisco for my wedding at City Hall and was staying at a hotel, and was very…read moreunfamiliar with the area. My photographer recommended Jaclyn for my hair and makeup. She came to my hotel, which was a huge plus for me because I didn't know my way around and I didn't want the added stress of trying to get to/from a salon right before my wedding. Jaclyn was funny and enjoyable, and she made me feel quite at ease. She gave me the exact look I asked for and precisely what I had envisioned for my wedding. Her prices are very, very reasonable...especially considering she came to me. I highly recommend Jaclyn for hair/makeup. She's a great young talent with a fun personality.

She was so easy-going and had really calming energy (so helpful on the wedding day!) and completely understood the look I was going for. Everyone was amazed at how gorgeous my hair looked and my makeup was just right--I still looked totally like myself, but on my very best day! The makeup looked exactly the same at the end of the night, but was easy to take off and didn't feel heavy (she clearly uses really high quality products). Jaclyn was super responsive to every email I sent, helping me pick out the right extensions to order and answering all my questions. All my bridesmaids also loved their hair and makeup and repeatedly told me how much they liked Jaclyn. I cannot recommend her highly enough--if you are getting married in Tahoe, Jaclyn should definitely be your choice for your hair and makeup artist!

While I normally fly home to have my haircut at Orbit Salon (http://www.orbitsalon.net/) with…read moreJamon, I recently was in dire need of a haircut, however, I can't really DO anything with it, including just slapping it into a ponytail. See, my arm is in a cast which creates quite a conundrum, so I had to get my hairs cut pronto. I feel very ugly with my arm in one cast while I run about like a ragamuffin. Lavender came recommended to me by one of my employees and Kelly did a great job at an inexpensive price. It's clean, calm, soothing, a little edgy but with two store mutts, which I love. The owners of the salon charge more than Kelly I'm sure - so the price for a cut will range from $35-50 depending on who you choose. My employee also had her hair colored there and though it took a while (3 hours), they did a great job.

Linda did the hair and makeup for me and my mom. She's a pro: Arrived on time and was ready to go!

Our party was a bit chaotic as you can imagine morning of the wedding and Linda and her team navigated it so well and were very professional. I highly recommend weddings a go go.
