This review is only for her consultation as I decided not to go with Jeanie. There was an air of arrogance to her, which I did not appreciate. I was 10 minutes late because of the parking situation and felt super bad for it so I called her to let her know and apologized. She assured me that it was okay for me to come anyway. When I got there, she made me wait 15 minutes while she casually chatted it up with her friend after quickly greeting me. It was cool, I figured I made her wait too. So it was a consultation and I treated it as such, asking pertinent questions that would help me decide. Asking about prices and timeline and colors are standard. Now that I am older, Iike to proceed with caution. Jeanie answered my questions very defensively. I thought maybe she was having a bad day. She saw that I had some work done and began to bad mouth other people's work, which I think is very unprofessional. No lady, I am not going to tell you where I got my work done so you could bash competing artists some more. I actually just came for a lip color consultation and I got judged on previous work, which I was and still am very happy with, ten years later. I mean, it was painful, but I also have great memories from doing it with friends and family. Jeanie responded with a snobby attitude, uninvitingly critiquing work which she believed were inferior to hers, something she kept on repeating despite my feeling increasingly uncomfortable with her bad mouthing others. I felt insulted by her and decided to go with someone else merely because she had a better attitude.
Maybe Jeanie was having a bad day, but maybe she just isn't a nice and humble person. She also didn't know how to listen very well, probably because she was so defensive and spent so much time discounting other people. A friend of mine also had a very similar experience with her, in which Jeanie told my friend that her laser job (done by a medical professional) was horrible and that it was less effective than her work. That's really bold to say! I think the doctor would disagree. When people come in for a consultation, they are inquiring and practicing due diligence. It should not feel like a crime to proceed with caution! My point is that Jeanie seems like a mean spirited person and I wouldn't want someone like that to work so intimately on me. Maybe you wouldn't mind.
Apparently, if you write a negative review about her, Jeanie will find ways to defend herself and even look at your previous reviews to put you on blast. And then she'll make comments about your budget not being big enough. She seems like a presumptuous snob to me. Lady, if you are good, the work should show for itself. You don't have to discount other people and then make others feel inferior to make yourself feel better. This is the only negative review I have written for anyone because I love praising and commending people for their work, but I am sorry, you left a bad taste in my mouth Jeanie. Hopefully you will be kinder to folks.
Edit: In response to your response belowJeannie. You demonstrated exactly what I had described about your customer service. I was actually very pleasant during the consultation. Of course consultation is a two way street. What bothered me most was your discounting of other people's work. That was when the consultation turned into more like gossip. I decided to look around for other makeup artists because I moved away, fyi. And there is no harm in shopping around, getting to know if there are any new techniques or technological advances. A consultation is the only way to tell. Nowhere did I say I came in to get a correction. It was a new procedure because I hoped to lighten the freckles on my lips. The work you commented on was completely irrelevant to what I came in for, hence the unprofessionalism I observed from you. Thank you for responding! It shows how arrogant, presumptuous and mean you are. This is just my honest review. I would give you a 0 if I could. read more
