    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this business to other brides-to-be in the DMV area and I…read moredisagree with other reviews. Monica was my makeup artist for my wedding, which happened on September 3, 2017. She was picked 10 months in advance and was paid in full before the wedding date (BIG MISTAKE...Brides, don't ever do this). I had a rather large wedding party with seven bridesmaids who needed make-up along with my mother, mother in law, and myself. The artist and I communicated a schedule and I even paid extra for her assistant. However, my biggest fear happened when Monica and her assistant showed up OVER 2 HOURS LATE! When Monica did show up, she told us she had another event that morning (who schedules another event on a Sunday morning before 8am when she is due for another wedding?) that ran late but she would call 2 other assistants to get us back on schedule. Needless to say, they never showed up. As a result, the entire wedding day was off schedule and we ended up having to rush through the photography and reception; vendors who were on time and paid to do a job within a scheduled amount of time. That meant less memories would be recorded, less dances and fellowship with my husband, family and friends, some of whom flew thousands of miles for this moment, and an overall feeling of rushing throughout the day (which ultimately brings out the bridezilla that no one, including you, wants to see). Afterwards, there was no follow up and there was NEVER AN APOLOGY. Lastly, I'll comment re: the makeup itself. The trial makeup was great. I loved it. I thought my bridesmaids looked great, too. However, the day of my makeup had a very yellow-ey tint to it, which I expressed to her and she said the makeup needed to set in...I have no idea what that means or how it would make it appear less yellow. In photos, my face looked a different color from my neck and under my eyes looked cakey, which I also hate. Also, her "makeup kit" that I was supposed to take with me for touch-ups throughout the day was some powder dumped in a plastic baggie with a couple small brushes. Tacky. I never followed up with her and I am only writing this now because I was asked by one of my vendors to provide information about my other vendors for an online feature. Even now, it makes me pretty angry and disappointed to recount how I was treated on one of the most important days of my life. I just don't understand how one woman could do that to another on their wedding day. Do yourself a favor, do not book this business for your wedding, especially if you have a larger wedding party. It's clear that she couldn't handle the task or adhere to a schedule.

Aside from the popular OTC products for hair, face, and body, they carry premium makeup brands and replenish often. Cult faves like Fenty, NARS, MAC, Charlotte Tillbury, Anastasia, Smashbox, Morphe, etc are under one roof. Plus the Korean masks that turn your skin to glass is there. I can easily spend an hour browsing. Additionally, there's a full service salon in the back of the store. The stylists do hair, waxing, and make up back there. I have one issue that prevents me from spending more... The lack of employees at the front ringing people up. The line will extend down the wall to the back of the store. There are polite employees buzzing around settung up displays and discussing lunch plans, but 1 stressed out lady at the front ringing impatient shoppers. I have observed this countless times. What's worse, this location seems to stay shortstaffed during predictable peak shopping times. When there are holidays and people are off from work, they will shop. We are now entering the holiday season. I really hope this issue gets addressed. Many businesses are struggling, why let patrons walk out the door bcuz they can't wait in line 30+ minutes?

    Ugh I'm always hoping for a better experience each time I come here. It's getting as bad as old…read moreschool beauty supply places where you get followed around. I'm a woman in her forties and I can't hold onto my own $39 travel perfume while shopping. She took it from me like I was going to steal it. How can I steal it when my purse wasn't even big enough to hold my phone. On top of that they didn't know whether they had Yves Saint Laurent perfume or not! She said no. And then bam in the next aisle I find it. She giggles and says oh that's YSL.....huh!? I need to come on a day they have the older more seasoned employees working the floor. Anyway I only come here to use my points. Disappointed...this never happened when I lived in VA.
