    I'm disappointed with how this booking & communicated was handled. I booked a makeup appointment…read moretwo weeks in advance and sent a $145 deposit, then needed to cancel less than 24 hours after booking. Before or after sending payment, I was never told the deposit was nonrefundable. I did not sign a contract, receive a cancellation policy, or book through a website where those terms were disclosed. When I asked if the deposit could be returned, I was told that she does not return deposits. I understand businesses can have cancellation policies, but I believe a nonrefundable deposit policy should be clearly communicated before payment is accepted. I explained that I was never made aware of that policy beforehand and asked if there could be any flexibility since I canceled so quickly and the appointment was still about two weeks away. I have not received a response. Instead multiple texts ignored. My issue is not that a business has rules around deposits. My issue is being held to a policy that was never disclosed to me before I paid. Clear communication and transparency around deposits should happen if a client sends money. If it's before or after details should be enclosed. That way no one waste time asking for something they already were disclosed! JUST TO CLARIFY: The $145 deposit was paid on August 12th and the photoshoot was scheduled for August 26th. That is two weeks, not one week. I have the photographer's booking information confirming the date. At this point, what concerns me even more is being given information that does not match the actual booking details. If a business is going to enforce a nonrefundable policy, I believe the facts surrounding the booking should at least be represented accurately. You also got two texts, not multiple. A professional company owner would reply back, not ignore and reply on yelp lying about dates. I'd also like to add that the reason I chose to leave this review is because instead of trying to resolve the issue with me as a customer, my messages were ultimately ignored. I was never told from the beginning that the $145 deposit was nonrefundable, and no written policy, agreement, or booking terms stating that were ever provided to me before I paid. If your business is centered around making women feel comfortable and beautiful, especially pregnant women and brides, I think professionalism, honesty, and communication should be a major part of that experience. Being difficult over an undisclosed policy and then choosing not to communicate further left a very negative impression. For anyone considering booking, I would strongly recommend getting every deposit, cancellation, and refund policy clearly in writing beforehand. The lack of transparency professionalism, honesty and communication are what concerned me most about this experience. I've never met a business owner who keeps your money and is dishonest about all details. Do what's right if you truly cared about your business and future client's.

    Had been meaning to write a review for a while and finally got a free moment. Prior to the…read morepandemic, I got my hair colored blond as my natural hair is black. Becoming blond can be tricky because with my tan colored skin, too light blond will look too fake while orange makes it look a little too Oompa Loompa. I had another hairdresser in LA do an amazing job, but after moving to the IE I needed to find someone closer. I went to a stylist before Alexis who made my hair a very light blond that did not go well with my complexion. After doing some research, I found Alexis who said she can help me achieve my hair goals. Alexis takes her time in coming up with the right color combination. She also curled my hair, which stayed for days. I love how my hair looks now. I would definitely recommend going to Alexis because she will make sure you are happy with her work :)

    Alexis was my make up artist and hair stylist for my wedding day and she was amazing!…read more She is a true professional, punctual, an expert at her craft, and her experience shows in her work. She has a very amenable and friendly disposition, which created a collaborative atmosphere. For my bridal preview/bridal trial, she took the time to explain the products that she was using to get the make up look that I wanted for my day and she was very meticulous that the product she used did not irritate my very sensitive skin. On my wedding day, my makeup surpassed my wildest expectations. Alexis was so patient and kind she even stayed later to touch up my makeup after my first look. If you want an stress-free wedding day, I highly recommend her for your bridal hair and makeup needs. You will not be disappointed!!
