I received a hair cut that was botched. I called the day (Thursday) after my appointment to speak…read morewith a manager or owner and was told I'd hear back on Saturday. I did not hear back and I called again on Wednesday and was old again that she was not available. I have yet to hear back, and when I called I was told I could only email her. Which I specifically said I would rather speak with someone on the phone because there were multiple concerns with the appointment. When I was explaining how I was not available to speak another time this week because I work 12 hour days they hung up on me. I would not recommend getting your haircut here. I spent 160.00 (not including any gratuity I left) and then another 100.00 to have to get my hair fixed

I absolutely loved my hair and make up done by Anastasia. She did a fantastic job listening to what I wanted and making my vision come to life. I deducted one star because my appointment was for Event/Glam Photoshoot Make Up and Dyson Bouncy Curl Blow Out, but I didn't end up getting a blow out. She styled my hair with a flat iron but I was still charged for a bouncy curl blow out which I didn't feel was the same value. Other than that, I was very happy with my experience.

I came here based on reviews that I read off of Yelp. I specifically came here for eyelash…read moreextensions. I have had them before, but at a spa/salon in Swampscott (had a Groupon!), and they lashes would fall out in clumps and just looked a mess. My first impressions of the store was - WOW, it is TINY! I wonder where my extensions will take place! It happened to be in a nook of the room behind the cashier's desk, but the adjustable spa bed was pretty comfortable, and although it was a small space, I was still comfortable! At this point, my eyelashes were very short like they were cut off because of the damage done to them from the other spa's poor work. Amy asked me a few questions on how I would like my eyelashes - natural? Was this a one time thing for an event, etc? I wanted them to be natural looking, but long enough so that they were alluring. Amy did exactly that! She spent 2 hours gluing eyelashes on each of my short broken eyelashes. Amy = eyelash saver. And the receptionist/saleswoman/cashier at the front was also SUPER friendly. Since it was at 11am on a Saturday, it was really just the 3 of us in the store, but it felt like the 2 hours was only 20 minutes because we were all cracking jokes, laughing and just shooting the breeze. They were easy going, funny and very friendly. 3 weeks later, I went back for my refill - the eyelashes held up really well, and the refill only took 30-40 minutes and the place has SO MUCH good stuff (skincare, hand lotion, make up, etc). Amy really knows her stuff as she's been in the makeup/skincare/cosmetic industry for decades, although she looks so young!!!!!! Anyway, enough of this. If you want good service, good quality work, and someone who knows her stuff in terms of makeup/skincare/cosmetics, The Beauty Mark is the place to go. No questions about it.

I also have to say my hair lasted all night despite all the jumping, dancing, and celebrating! And my makeup didn't smudge one bit!! I don't know what kind of magic she worked, but everything stayed flawless from start to finish. I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. I'm especially grateful that my freckles were visible through my makeup. It made me feel like the best version of myself rather than someone completely different, and I know my husband loves that little detail about me, too. Thank you for making me feel so confident, comfortable, and beautiful on such a special day!

Kerri did the makeup for myself, mother, mother in law, and 4 bridesmaids for my wedding on 9/27/14, and everyone not only loved how they looked but loved working with Kerri. Kerri arrived right on time, gave each girl a good amount of attention, made sure everyone was happy with their look, and offered everyone touch ups before she left. Before meeting Kerri, not everyone was on board with fake lashes, but after seeing how great they looked, they changed their minds.

My friend and I found out two days before her wedding that the MUA she hired, had to cancel due to potential Covid exposure. After the shock wore off, my friend and I were planning to do our own makeup. Which, would have been an amazing feat since neither of us wear make up...like AT ALL! I didn't want my friend to have to do her own makeup on her wedding day. She deserves to be pampered and not have to worry about trying to attempt to do her own makeup. In Yelp I typed in "Top 10 MUA Salem, MA." Suite Bella was in the top 3! After looking at the photos and reading the reviews, I sent out an S.O.S.!! Within the hour Gina (one of the owners) responded and said she would be able to do our makeup and she was super close to our hotel. The stars had aligned for us. Gina was kind, personable, professional, on time, listened to what we were going for and most importantly made my friend's day. Gina, I know Patrice and I said it repeatedly, but, we can not thank you enough. We loved our looks! We know this is what you do, and it was only two of us, but, to be able to help and accommodate us at the bottom of the 9th inning with two outs (we're baseball fans) - you were our home run. Thank you again.

I was given 2 options covering all goals discussed - 1. start off with highlights/lowlights/gloss or 2. Start off with a gloss. I chose starting with a gloss. After the gloss was washed out I noticed grays and asked about it. It was then I was told, "a gloss doesn't cover grays. We'd be lucky to get 30-40% coverage with a gloss." After getting home I now realize the gloss isn't even and pulled reddish. I did leave without a blow dry out of frustration so in all fairness I'm sure they would have adjusted that had I stayed. But also, I figured it would probably be fine since it's a gloss but not the case. The manager did offer for another appointment with the owner or another stylist but I declined and they did not charge me. Just posting to help another person avoid this.

Ligia was absolutely amazing! She turned me into the beautiful princess I should be on my wedding day. I received numberous comments on my makeup and everyone said I looked incredible stunning! She was a pleasure to work with from the trial to the wedding day. Ligia worked to ensure that my makeup turned out the way I wanted it, she frequently asked me during my trial and wedding day if I liked my eyes, my cheeks, my lips, etc. She was absolutely amazing and I would high recommend her for everyone! read more

She managed to have everything done within an hour before my college graduation in the comfort of her studio. Her family is so incredibly lovely and a joy to have a around. She made me feel so beautiful inside and out; as well as making me laugh a ton with her husband. The price was fairly reasonable for hair and makeup; it was a little over $100 but worth it once you see the finished look. She was also able to attach false lashes which is something that I found incredibly hard to do myself but she does it within 30 seconds! I love how the foundation she used on me wasn't heavy at all and the fact that she is so flexible to use any and all of her makeup kits was really awesome. I showed her a couple of pictures of what I wanted but I still wasn't too sure of what I wanted myself, she was so patient and pleasant helping me to choose the "look" that I wanted which she was able to perfect flawlessly!! I would highly recommend Carolina to anyone, she is such the sweetest person to work with and her family was such a delight to see while she worked on me. If you want to hire a personal and professional makeup and hair artist she is your girl, I'll definitely be going back soon!

Jenny gave me an effortless, clean look -- I felt like myself but also the most beautiful I've ever looked! Absolutely go for the airbrush -- all the makeup stayed on all night through tears and dancing and my skin looked utterly flawless (even though it certainly is not!). During my trial, Jenny was informative and thoughtful with the looks I wanted in both my eye and hair. She remained flexible during the trial when my hair was too short for the hairstyle I wanted. I was so surprised when she showed up on my wedding day and exclaimed "Your hair grew!" (and I was able to get the hairstyle I wanted!). It shows how much she thinks about and remembers each and every one of her brides. My mom told me afterwards she made her feel so beautiful -- and that was so important to me. Jenny is so kind and knowledgable. She was responsive and clearly has a ton of experience -- I highly recommend that you hire her for your special day!!! You will absolutely not regret it.

She's quick to respond to any inquiries and her process takes the stress out of knowing you will look like on your wedding day. My makeup and hair lasted all night and it was one less thing to worry about - no touch up needed, even on a super hot and humid day. I'm someone who has stick straight hair that almost never holds a tight curl and she was able to wrangle it into perfectly curled submission without feeling crunchy at all. I was so impressed at how beautiful the makeup looked both in person and in my photographs. I had a few last minute changes to my wedding timeline and she was super accommodating. My bridal party, mother, and I had an easy and relaxing morning with her. I was so impressed how she was able to quickly adapt to everyone's different tastes and styles. Thank you Jenny for everything!!!

Second: Katrina was the make up artist for my friend's (the one with the eye brows) wedding. She did 3 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and 1 bride that day and I have to say that everyone looked gorgeous. She took alot of time with the bride making sure her make up was flawless. After all the bridesmaids and moms were done she touched up the bride. I have to note that the wedding weather was hot and humid but my friend's face looked air brushed all day. No runny mascara, shiny /sweaty forehead and no racoon eyes from wedding speeches. Katrina is worth the price she charges.
