This is one of the worse experiences I have experienced especially for a wedding trial! I came into…read morethe salon and brought photos of the hair and makeup I wanted. The hair and makeup I wanted was very simple and I will attach the photos below. I am quite upset that I spent $200 on this trial for both hair and make up. I came to the salon with moisturizer and sunscreen, and I let her know that my skin was super sensitive to products. She asked what kind of products I used at home, I told her and she said she knew what they were. Perfect! She then wiped everything off and started applying stuff on to my face. I have been to aestheticians before, and normally they always show the product that they will be applying to my face to make sure I am not allergic to that product. The products she used on my face caused me to breakout the next day, and I have had breakouts ever since. A week later and now my breakouts are slowly dying down. She moved on to my foundation. My foundation was supposed to be an airbrushed foundation. From what I have researched, foundation with an airbrush application was supposed to give me a filtered, smooth look. Instead what I got a THICK, FLAKY, and CAKEY foundation that cracked by the time I got home from the salon. When she applied the eyeshadow on my eyelids, she got it ALL over my original lash extensions. She also attached a few individual lashes to make it "even". However, the lash extensions she applied from the trial was applied very sloppily. She got glue on my left eye, and my left eyelid was stuck when she was done. On top of all that, there were remnants of glue all over my lashes. (I will show photos below). By the end of the evening, I tried to remove the eyeshadow, that she applied, with my lash shampoo. The eyeshadow did not come off and as I scrubbed my eyelids to get the shadow off, some of my lashes came off as well. Because some of the eyelash extensions were missing, my eye lids looked like a lawnmower had cut pieces of a corn field, some lashes long, some missing. I ended up having to remove my extensions because of how terrible it looked. I asked for a simple texture bun for my hair. I definitely did not get what I asked for. My bun was super thick and sloppy, and my hair didn't look anything remotely close to the pictures. It looked like I ordered off of Wish.com. I reached out to the Kristen and notified her what happened. I asked for a refund and she refused to give me my money back. I am beyond upset at this point. Kristen did offered me to come back to get it fixed. Unfortunately, I am too traumatized from the last session and can't pull myself to go back. It is unfair that I presented their AWFUL work I paid for and they're not going to refund what they've done. PLEASE BEWARE when you book with them! Worse experience ever!

My girlfriend was getting her hair done first and around 9:45am, another client arrives and says she has an appointment at 9:45am. After confirming this was true and Claudia over booked herself, Claudia asks US to leave after only 1 of us got our hair done, and come back at 11, so she can do the other girls hair who had the appointment at 9:45am? Like what? Why would we be asked to leave and come back when our appointments were scheduled first, we showed up on time, etc. Overall very bad experience, made appointments a month out, showed up on time, and then got turned away in the middle of the service. My girlfriend went to pay and Claudia said "oh did they not tell you I only take Venmo or Zelle, no cards", seems like something you would mention upon booking or mention anywhere online. I messaged the company on FB and they did refund my girlfriend, which was very nice.

I just got home from a Vegas vacation where I definitely drank more than normal and my skin hated it.

My skin feels incredible!!! My face was glowing and can't wait for this crazy break out to finally go away. Her massages are amazing! She also did an amazing job with extractions. I haven't had someone in the past that was as thorough as she was. Sometimes you just wish Yelp offered more than 5 stars!

I've been researching permanent jewelry for a couple months now and finally decided to treat myself…read morefor my birthday! I went yesterday to get a permanent bracelet, anklet and ring from Gretchen. I liked that this location was closest to me and that the pricing was extremely affordable in comparison to some other locations I researched! I should note that this location is in an older house, on the second floor. It was a bit hard to find and the signs were barely visible from the road. That's my only critique. Gretchen was extremely patient, helpful and sweet. She carefully helped me select a chain and charms I was happy with. She gave helpful suggestions but was in no way pushy and very happy to answer questions. I had brought my 7 year old son with me and she even explained the welding process to him as he was interested in that part and let him watch with her safety glasses! She really went above and beyond to make it a fun experience. I liked that nearly all chains are the same pricing--I believe $65 for a gold plated bracelet and $75 for an anklet (I believe the sterling silver were priced a bit less?) Charms are $15 and there was a lot to choose from. She was running a summer special at the time for $140 for an anklet, bracelet and ring which I thought was a great deal! Gretchen explained "the jewelry is as permanent as you'd like it to be" meaning it shouldn't tarnish but you can easily remove it with a pair or scissors or pliers if you decide to. She can reweld it back on you later if you like! I saw one other review say her jewelry tarnished and fell off fairly quickly. Gretchen did say she will reweld any jewelry that falls off. She also had several anklets and bracelets on that she had worn for a while that looked as good as new. I'm optimistic my jewelry will stand up to wear and tear but I'll try to update the review in a few months. I'm already planning a trip back with a girlfriend to get more bracelets added!!

I used to be a plucker but ever since going to her, i will never go back to attempting to do my own eyebrows because they will NEVER look as good as when she does them. I also go to her for my spray tans (tanning beds are BAD people) and i have the driest skin EVER and she nails it every time. My tan lasts 12 days without even a smidge of it fading off before the 12 days are up! They always look like a natural glow rather than Snooki circa 2009. Her tans are also so CHEAP compared to other places and she offers $30 Thursdays! Lastly, I recently stood up in a wedding and the bride hired Kelly to do everyone's makeup- every single bridesmaid was obsessed with how they looked. Our makeup stayed on all night long and the only thing we had to re-apply was lip gloss (obviously) She made everyone look unique and beautiful! Kell is my beauty go-to! I highly recommend her!!
