As a woman, it is rare to find someone you trust with all of your beauty care needs. I met Lisa…read moreover 5 years ago and instantly fell in love with her impeccable style. Once completing my bridal make-up trial with her, I realized she not only had great taste, but an amazing talent. Since providing me with the wedding day make-up of my dreams, I have gone to Beauty Crew for my microbladed brows, facials, make-up by Mylene, and chemical peels. They are truly my one stop shop to make me feel beautified. When you trust someone to tattoo your face, it says a lot about their abilities. I highly recommend them for any beauty service. Considering multiple friends of mine have since had their bridal make-up and microblading done, I'd say everyone agrees!

She responded within minutes and answered all of my questions and got me on her books just in time to heal before my first chemo treatment! She is kind, clean, thorough, professional and so talented! She listened to exactly what I wanted. This is literally the only thing making me feel feminine at this point in my journey. I promise you will not be disappointed with her work! Thank you so much

Maria was very nice and friendly! I could tell she was there early because everything was already setup and ready. My lashes lasted more than 2 weeks and I went back to get them filled in and they lasted another 3 weeks. So, 5 stars! She even gave me advice on aftercare on how to accommodate the cleansing of my lashes since it was my first eyelash experience; so I did not have to go through the trouble to find the right cleanser , brush etc . All you really have to do is show up. Will definitely be going again for my next event. Thanks again, Maria!!

Additionally, she was kind and flexible when I needed to reschedule my trial at the last minute because of my dog being sick. Most importantly, she gave me a look that I wanted on my wedding day, which was a big departure from the trial, both at my direction. This showed both her skill and flexibility. I can't recommend Deb and her team enough.

The owner (Waffa) started out great the first two times I went in for a hair appointment but like…read moreother reviewers posted, her work product really went downhill. Twice I walked out with uneven edges (drastically so). The first. time I chalked it up to an honest mistake but when it happened again, it clearly shows that she stopped putting in a good effort. She tends to rush through it. Also, fails to brush off/remove the hair that has fallen onto our shoulders/neck etc. Just like someone else posted, if you get an "appointment" do not expect it to be honored. I still had to wait about 25 minutes for her to finish someone else up. In that case, do not even provide appointments and just say it's a first come, first serve basis. On some occasions when I dropped in and (there were no people but she was on the phone) she seemed annoyed that she had to hang up to take care of a customer. Hair salons are so abundant in the city, I am sure I can find one that provides much better customer service and actually cares to provide a good quality haircut.

They asked for pictures ahead of time so that they could come prepared and they were patient and asked questions to make sure each person looked and felt beautiful on the wedding day. On top of Kasha's professional skills, she is an absolute joy to work with. Kasha is so cheerful, calm and joined in on the conversation as everyone was getting ready. Your hair and makeup is the start to such a special day, and I can't think of a better person to start it off with than Kasha. THANK YOU Kasha! We feel so lucky to have been introduced to you!

We did a test run about a month before the wedding and I did a total 180 the day of and went with an entirely different look -- no problem for Kasha! I was so happy with my makeup and hair, she made me feel beautiful. Just as I requested, my skin was dewy and my eyes glowed. A smash hit that lasted all day and all night long. She (along with her colleague Debbie Petrielli) also did hair and makeup on my bridal party and moms. A truly wonderful person and talented artist, there is not one thing I would change about my experience with her. I highly recommend.

Couldn't recommend more. My hair and make up lasted all night (admittedly I did not take my makeup off before crashing and honestly it looked perfect in the morning) - and my extensions were PERFECTLY matched by the Rare Bird team, Laura cut them perfectly day of and I'm so grateful I now have them in my rotation for special occasions.
