One of my beautiful buddies was getting hitched this past Saturday and invited her bridesmaids to her house early to imbibe while getting our hair and makeup done professionally.
The ladies doing the mane and makeup were from Just Face It, LLC (clever name points). Angele was on hair while Chris knocked out makeup. These two ladies knocked out a bevy of beauties with time to spare.
I gave Angele free reign on my locks but showed her a few updos with braids woven in that I liked from Pinterest. She masterfully executed a seemingly effortless do that didn't feel overly sprayed and stayed in place all night. She never seemed rushed during the process and while I'm not tender headed, was very gentle. I also applauded her for whipping up our friend whose hair is borderline Rapunzel-length into a sleek, clean style in record time.
I grew envious of the beautiful makeup that Chris was applying so I asked her if she would just be able to do my eyes. While most girls went with a more natural look, she gave me a smoldering (yet tastefully sexy) eye that looked great with the updo. Her eyelash application is that of a ninja because there is no way I could put falsies on that quickly..ever. She never gave me a hard time about wanting to do the rest of my makeup myself, and I really appreciate that.
Both women were efficient, sweet, and did a wonderful job. If any of the bridesmaids requested changes or fixes to their look, they were happy to oblige. The cost for me was $60 for hair and $40 for makeup which I tipped 20% on top of. While I wouldn't be doing this for just any day, totally worth it for my friend's wedding! read more
