First, scheduling was a breeze and both Chelsea and Taylor were so communicative and helpful. I also did a makeup trial a few days before the wedding. As someone who typically never wears makeup and has never worn foundation before, Chelsea took my comfort level into consideration as we planned out my wedding day look. She talked me through the process and was thoughtful about coverage, false eyelashes, etc. On the morning of wedding day, I woke up with a gnarly red and bumpy rash on my neck and chest, likely from the desert heat. Chelsea soothed my nerves and was able to cover it up and no one noticed it! She secured my very heavy dupatta/veil to my hair and it stayed put on my head. She also provided a small touch up kit for the day, including some of the lip product! I felt amazing thanks to her hard work!

For my wife and I, having a hair and make-up professional who was aligned with our values and could do great work with various hair textures and skin colors was absolutely essential for our wedding day, and Jen + her team more than delivered. Jen was easy to work with from start to finish, and was amazing at receiving feedback. She made us feel at ease on our wedding day, and all of our family and friends loved working with her. One of my favorite things about her business is that she conducts her prices based on length of hair rather than gender. As a queer, interracial couple, we just knew she was the one as soon we spoke with her. She is dynamite, and such a treasure in an industry that is heteronormative. Thank you Jen for everything!

I was meant to get married April 4th at Korakia and I visited Nancy last December for my H&M trial. Unfortunately I had to postpone my wedding to November due to COVID-19, and Nancy was already booked for my new date. I was so gutted because she not only is an AMAZING makeup artist, but a genuine and lovely person. I'm the ultimate introvert who doesn't have the best self confidence so I was nervous about going to my trial but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. (My fiancé and I come from Brooklyn, NY). She made me feel so at ease and really listened to what I wanted. I found in the past artists can just put on your what they think is best without representing your ideas, NOT Nancy. She not only incorporated color/style elements I was interested in but she made them perfect to fit my complexion and makeup goals. I kept telling her I felt like a movie star getting this kind of treatment! The reason I was so interested in working with Nancy was from looking at her IG. She really enhanced the natural beauty of each client instead of covering them up. I found I looked like a "better" version of myself, not like I different person. She is crazy talented and again I'm so sad she's already booked for my new date but I TOTALLY understand why. You'd be silly not to book her for your wedding or special occasion. I also am unfortunately blanking on the lovely girl who did my hair but she was amazing as well!

Today was my first visit to the Aide's Atelier Hair Salon…read more My appointment was with Felipe Machado... hair dresser extraordinaire! I have followed Felipe from another establishment here in the desert. To be quite honest... I'd follow him wherever he was doing hair... in his garage, park, or Walmart parking lot.... Because he's the best. I have dark brown... waist length hair with gray roots... so my color, cut, and style take up a lot of product, time, muscle, and technique. Felipe does an amazing job and always exceeds my expectations of my visit. When I leave the salon my hair is gorgeous. Felipe also has an amazing knowledge of hair products... it's really quite impressive how he knows exactly what one's hair is lacking to elevate its texture or appearance... he knows his stuff. I love the salon. It's on El Paseo nestled in the exclusive El Paseo Village. Parking was easy and there are wonderful places to shop and dine before or after my appointment. The shop is quaint, clean, and modern. I look forward to my next appointment

I feel terrible leaving anything but a positive review, especially for this business, as the people…read morethere seem kind and hardworking, which is why I gave an extra star. But I unfortunately had the least effective blowout I've ever paid for here. The pros: Open on Sundays, lots of available slots when I booked last-minute, relatively easy online booking process, convenient location with lots of parking available (at least when I went), a good variety and selection of products, including cruelty-free options, and of course, friendly and kind folks work here. The cons: -They did not answer the phone when I called. I understand the loud nature of a blowdry bar, but I think they should have someone handling calls. -The price of a blowout is $15 higher than my normal salon, The Bvsement, or pretty much any other salon I've been to. Here it's $65+ for a blowout. That's steep, which is fine and understandable, IF you're getting a great blowout on El Paseo. -I arrived for my first ever appointment and was warmly greeted by a lovely young woman who politely introduced herself as Leslie. Before she approached me to tell me she would be doing my hair, she was finishing up her previous client's hair, which looked sleek and fabulous, so I felt confident that I was in good hands. I told Leslie that I was trying to head out to an event and had already shampooed and conditioned my hair at home before the appointment. I often do this and ask for just a rinse and conditioner instead, if the stylist is ok with it. Leslie looked at my hair and said it was the perfect wetness for a blowout. I was slightly confused, as no stylist has ever done this before, but I figured the professionals know what they're doing. I sat down, was offered and brought a glass of water, and asked if product in my hair was ok. I said yes and pointed to one I use at home for blowouts. Leslie kindly selected it to use but proceeded to spray about 1/3rd of the amount I spray at home. Again, I didn't question her expertise. She asked about how I like to part my hair but proceeded to totally forget the answer shortly thereafter. She began to section and pin my hair, and I felt doubtful about her skill level due to how she was doing it. At this point, my hair was drying fast. I mentioned I use a spray bottle of water at home, but she didn't seem to take the suggestion. When the blow drying began, I knew something was off and that my hair was NOT going to look good. From the way she handled my hair, it was evident she doesn't know how to do a proper blowout. It's hard to explain, but the handling of my hair, the sections, the brush, and the blow dryer were all indicators. At one point, the blow dryer felt hot on my neck, was loudly blasted into my ear, and she made a joke about the round brush eating my hair (which was cute under all other circumstances but at this particular point very concerning). The first section looked awful. She fluffed it with her hands and mumbled something encouraging to herself and moved on. The rest of the experience made it clear that my hair was going to look terrible once she was done. I just breathed and hoped for the best. Once finished, she said there you go, added some VERY fragrant oil to my hair that I did not like (I am not sensitive to scents and this overpowered my perfume all evening), asked if I wanted hairspray (standard to set big blowout curls). My hair looked frizzy and undone so I asked for a mirror to see the back. She kept saying, see, it's done. It was a strange experience, though I am sure that's not what she intended. I was not happy but didn't have time to ask for revisions or discuss anything. I went up front to pay, and I never ever feel this way, but it was genuinely upsetting to pay $65+ for undone hair. Again, I typically pay $50 + 25% tip to The Bvsement for a perfect blowout in 50 minutes. Later, I realized they didn't even offer to charge me the price of a blowout without a wash; most salons have this option so you can come in with dry or washed hair. When paying for a wash and blowout, stylists typically will at least let you get your money's worth by doing a quick condition and rinse. But this wasn't discussed here. Not a big deal but part of the overall annoyance. I got in my car and confirmed my hair looked awful. I ended up late to my event because I basically had to run over my entire head with a hot tool to get the look of a blowout. This should have been offered as a quick fix when it became clear that the stylist was not able to do a blowout. She was not doing any steps of a proper blowout, so my hair came out frizzy, unsmooth, and undone. Leslie is a very kind person, but sadly, this was the worst blowout I've ever had. I will not be back. I have some pictures to show the results; no one should EVER walk out of any salon or blowdry bar with their hair looking like this. At the slightly higher price point, it's extra disappointing.
