This is a way overdue review of Monique- she is the best of the best - she perfected my wedding…read morehair AND make up in August. I tried two other people during the year while we were planning our wedding day... but there was no comparison to what Monique turned my normally sad flat hair into a beautiful crown. It was exactly as I had imagined it without extensions or fakeness. And the make up not only looked good- it felt good AND stayed on through the hot sweaty day AND sweatier dancing. She even reduced the eyeliner a bit for me when she saw I was a little uncomfortable with it - not a hassle... but a lovely time spent prepping for the favorite day of my life. Thank you Monique for all your effort and skill - I really felt my most pretty ever. Maybe we can recreate for our anniversary date next year.

I was so impressed with my final look for my wedding -- my makeup felt light, clean, and comfortable all night, and it didn't budge once! Brittany's attention to detail and calm, friendly energy made the whole experience stress-free. I've had her do my makeup twice now -- once as a bridesmaid and again as a bride -- and she never disappoints. Highly, highly recommend!

Brittany is incredibly talented! I have had the honor of having my makeup done by her on not one,…read morebut three occasions! Each time I was blown away by how she transformed me, but also kept me looking and feeling like myself. I don't love a heavy lip or heavy eye liner, but love a glowing eye and fresh face. She does just that, every time! And even remembers my preferences. Not only does she come with lots of great ideas and beautiful makeup, she takes the time to listen to your wishes, and makes them come to life. While sitting in her chair, you are not only welcomed like a life long friend, you are met with the best smile and laugh that could ease any nervousness for a big day. Brittany fills the room with warm and contagious energy. If she's having a rough day, you'd never know it! She is prompt, prepared, and precise. On top of her expertise and great attitude, she even makes you a "goodie" bag with your lip color and touch up tools. I wish I could give her 10 stars.

They were so fun to work with, and I am still amazed by their ability to make my vision come to life. They took my inspiration photos, talked through an in-depth consultation, and created a bridal look that was beyond my wildest dreams! If I had feedback or requests throughout the process, they took out their magic wands, and made expert adjustments in just a few seconds :) For the day of my wedding, they brought in Amanda and Michelle to help with my army of women - bridesmaids, mothers, and officiant. They worked so efficiently, and took the time and care to make everyone look and feel gorgeous :) I cannot recommend Heather and her team enough! I feel so blessed to have worked with them - getting ready for my wedding with them created some of the most cherished memories that I'll carry with me forever!

Heather and Katie are such an amazing duo. I searched through tons of makeup and hair artists for…read moremy wedding and am so glad I went with them. I wanted a makeup artist who didn't cake on the heavy makeup but still could make me look glam. Heather knocked it out of the park. A few standout things about them: -Flexibility: We had to push our wedding out a year due to Covid and they were so understanding and flexible with finding a new date. -Communication: Heather replied to all of my emails in a timely fashion. She was happy to answer all of my questions and was always really friendly. -Personalities: When I first met them during my hair and makeup trial, we were all chatting like we had been friends for years. It's always nice to have down to earth people to chat with since you're most likely sitting in a chair talking to them for hours. Even at my wedding, all the bridesmaids said they loved hanging and chatting with them. -Extras: Heather has gone above and beyond by helping me find an amazing photographer for a boudoir shoot (turned into a maternity shoot due to the quarantine lol). She also helped suggest makeup to purchase for me to have on hand to reapply during the wedding. We are also instagram friends and keep in touch on there. I would use them again 100% and will recommend them to all my friends I know who are getting married.

I just happened to stumble on Lala's instagram, saw her work, and instantly knew I needed to work with her. My mother in law, who never wears makeup, was feeling herself. My mother could not get out of the mirror. My maid of honor, who loves makeup herself, could not stop singing her praises. My husband appreciated her attentiveness as the groom. I, the bride, felt like a queen the entire day. From trial to day, Lala was thoughtful, communicative, professional, and just an amazing person to be around. She answered all my questions, made recommendations re: skin care, was on time, and was just FUN to be around! She even helped calm me down when I was being pulled in different directions She was even so kind as to squeeze in a guest who needed some makeup help. Was not expected, but she was definitely appreciated. Even that guest was impressed! If you want someone who will work closely with the rest of your team, knows what they're doing, is an absolute gem of a woman -- you need to book her. Completely worth it. One of the best investments of my day! Absolutely nothing went wrong, and she definitely contributed to that. She's going to be my go to if I ever need some glam. I don't even do makeup like that, but she's so good she's converted me!

Lala paid close attention to what I liked which was a simple natural makeup for on my wedding day. She recommended having a trial run which turned out nicely. Lala just made me feel special every step of the way from the trial makeup, to the day of the wedding. She did an awesome job doing my mother-in-love's and my sister-in-love's make up as well. She made sure she was there before, during and after the wedding ceremony to ensure my makeup was top notched. I had an amazing experience and highly recommend Lala for your professional make up services. She will definitely treat you as the Queen that you deserve to be on the most special day of your life. I know I did and would do it again

I asked Caysi for a refund in March 2020 to which she told me the deposit was non-refundable AND she didn't have the money to refund me the remainder of my payment. I was understanding because of how crazy the times have been and agreed with her that she would provide the service at a later time. Once I reached out to her, Caysi said she can't provide the service to me in August of this year as she is booked with clients (as if I'm not a client?). I asked to be refunded the other half of my money to which she refused. I then rescheduled my event to a weekday in September and asked her to provide the services. She stopped replying at this point, so I had someone else message her anonymously to see if she would respond to them. She did, and she said she was available on weekdays, so I know she is available but apparently unwilling to provide the service to me. I guess this makes sense , because why bother providing a service when you already have a clients money ? She may be polite but she ripped me off and took my money. I essentially paid 650$ but never received the service. Not only do I have to find a new makeup artist but I also have to spend even more money, which is frustrating. I have included the entire conversation for reference.
