Probably fine for a bride who wants the social media celebrity bridal look. reasonably priced. No so good - late for both consult calls, does not seem to know how to do a bridal look other than glam. Bridal consult took 6 hours to come up with a look the bride did not want to go with. Communication was a challenge. Nicole gave up (my perception) when the bride asked for a different look. It was a relief when she advised us that she could not accommodate the look the bride wanted. The experience soured me on this entire "bridal make- up" thing. But again, for those really into make up or you want that "look", Nicole's style can work for you.

Beth is amazing and I am so happy to have booked her for doing my wedding make-up. Her make-up was…read morevery natural looking - yet was perfect in the photos as well. I had a pretty bad experience with one of the "larger" bridal firms in Chicago who charged an exorbitant amount of money for a trial - which was awful. I then went in for a much more appropriately priced trial with Beth and was "wowed". On the day of the wedding, she did the make-up for most of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother-in-law. She made everyone look wonderful and my mother-in-law said "this is the most beautiful I've ever felt". My make-up lasted the entire day and never got that "cakey" look which I hate (as someone who doesn't typically wear a ton of make-up/foundation). Beth has a wonderful talent for enhancing people's natural beauty, which is perfect for weddings. I would absolutely recommend Beth for any bride's wedding day! I'm also thinking of taking some make-up lessons from her to get some tips on how to glam up my current routine.

Do you ever see celebs and wonder how they have such smooth and dewy (perfect) looking skin? I'll…read moretell you one of their big secrets. Dermaplaning. A technique that entails having weeks' worth of dead skin cells scraped off of your face with a blade, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. And with the dead skin cells also goes those fine hairs that makeup always clings to -creating that pancake look. Book a dermaplane session, but kick it up a notch by scheduling a hydrating facial with it. It takes about an hour of your time, costs about $100, but what you're left with is ultra ultra silky and smooth skin that begs to be touched. It feels like satin. People, I'm telling you. It's a game changer. Karen is great. Super friendly and very professional. Her office space boasts easy to find parking and is clean and bright and very quiet. There are no negatives here. Book it.

I have had others do my brows and lashes but so far no one has done as good of a job as Karen. My brows are rather uneven, and i appreciate how she gets them looking pretty much alike. I have never been able to do that. Also, she will put you totally at ease while doing more personal type waxing. Her technique is fairly pain free too! I have pulled off bandaids that hurt more. The atmosphere here is calm and quiet. I much prefer the atmosphere here to Benefit which was noisier and where you got the hard sell to buy makeup after your services. If you are looking for a good brow expert or someone to put you at ease during waxing that , let's face it, can be a little embarassing, I recommend Karen. Other services include facials and spray tanning though I have not done those. The salon is next to Catch 35 at 25 South Washington. It is on the second floor.

I have PCOS and it affects my weight(185#) and weird hair growth. I have anxiety which has caused other problems. I NEVER thought I could do something like this. Just talking to the lady to schedule the appointment was terrifying but she made me feel comfortable. Trying to walk into the building the day of the appointment was a whole other challenge. I talked myself into it and made it in through the door. I was greeted by the most kind women that assured me it would be a great expierience. One thing that helped was to know that they all had to expierience this when getting hired. They all know the feelings I was feeling that day. My make up was beautiful. I'd wear make up all the time if I could make it look like that! Then came time to take "it" all off somehow I did that, too! Once they started taking pictures it was so easy! She told me where to go, how to pose, where to put my had/arm etc etc. I couldn't believe how comfortable I was wearing nearly nothing! I ended up purchasing all of the photos at the end on a drive. Was it expensive...well yeah. They work hard! Was it worth it...100%. My husband's reaction was priceless. 1st thing he said was that he's always seen these on facebook but never thought I would do that. For his 30th birthday I had surprised him with a trip to his first michigan game and bought him an authentic jersey. I wore that jersey for part of the photo shoot. I also took a few other photos in a bralette and panties. My advise...if you ever thought this would be neat but not sure if you could then just do it!!
