She has a website where you can book appointments. The booking process is easy and the description of her services helps you really figure out exactly what you want. She does everything from a minimum "no makeup" look to straight out glam. As she did my makeup, we had a nice conversation. She was pleasant and professional. When she was done, I liked how my makeup looked great, but it didn't look or feel caked on. I'd definitely recommend her and I'd definitely use her again for makeup services in the future!

The address listed on Yelp was correct, the shop is located next to a pet store. There is a small sign that says Coco Moore Makeup in the window of the shop. I was able to schedule an appointment online on the owners website. Her website was very helpful in deciding which look you wanted to go for.She also does weddings, and makeup training tutorial classes. There is a $5 discount for your birthday and she gives you the option to pay before or after the appointment. During my appointment there was no one else waiting so I was the only person there. Also, she cleaned all of her makeup equipment in front of me before use. Coco was very friendly and professional. She was also very patient and even asked what I liked and didn't like. I went for the Soft and Sweet Mini Enhancement. I loved her work!! I definitely will come back!

I had made my appt. for a photoshoot with my husband. When I called I had told them about my hair…read moreand about my makeup. My hair doesn't hold curls well so I was nervous. The owner told me on the phone to do a dry style instead. Which is when I wash at home the morning or night before and come in for just a style. And for my makeup I was also very hesitant. Especially because of my skin tone and I wanted to have a very natural look. Daniella did my makeup. She asked me many questions to make sure she understood the concept I was going for. She was very gentle with the makeup. And was a perfectionist. She has the passion to do makeup and enjoyed it which made the service much more enjoyable. She did a natural tone makeup and didn't have problems with my lashes! It looked great. Maddy did my hair, and my curls stayed on all through my photoshoot and the next day! I couldn't believe it! I would definitely make this my go to place for hair and makeup for my events.

I used it but was on the road and when I asked it to change my appointment to 30 minutes earlier, I assumed it would keep the same date. My appointment was for October, the text confirmed my October date but then it rescheduled me for the next day (in July). It did ask me to confirm but I was focused on the time - and never assumed it would change my October appointment to July!!! Well it did and then they charged me the full amount for my appointment when I didn't show up - $140! The owner told me I was out of luck and did nothing to help. Completely refused to acknowledge the misunderstanding. Terrible customer service! Will never be going back and will be sure to tell everyone I know not to do business with them!

One day I decided that I wanted to take my black Asian hair and turn it blonde. After speaking to a…read morefew different salons, I decided to go with Beauty for Ashes as they seemed to be more experienced in coloring based on the clients photos I saw. Now my hair was extremely dark so my stylist Becca informed me it would be a process. She thoroughly explained everything we would need to do in order to get it where I wanted and was very attentive to me and patient with all my millions of questions. I was so nervous but she did so well keeping me at ease. I was so surprised after my first session at how much she was able to lighten my hair. And by the third, it was right on point. I have a lot of hair and I know it can be a labor intensive when it comes to coloring but Becca goes above and beyond during the whole session. And my sessions take a whole day to complete. Even when she cuts & styles, she is so attentive to details. I know I'm being well taken care of during my visit. if you have dark hair and want to go platinum, ask for Becca!!! keep in mind platinum blonde is achievable but it's a process!! also make sure you're ready financially to go for it before you do so. last note: my hair hadn't been colored in the last 7 years and i've never used box color everrrrrr. if you use a box color on your hair or some other otc hair color kit, these results may be harder to achieve.

The inside is bright and colorful, a great place to spend an hour or two to get your hair done! The shampoo area is darker and relaxing, perfect place to unwind with some cucumber water or vino. Came here for a full head of highlights and a trim with Lilly! It turned out amazing! All of the stylists seem very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. Thoroughly trained, great conversationalists, care about what you want with your head, all of the good things. I'd recommend Lilly to anybody! She does a fabulous haircut, is a great shampooer, gentle, and precise. If you need color services, especially blonding, I believe that's her specialty! This is definitely the place to come in Birmingham if you're wanting to do something a little bit out of the ordinary. Lots of the stylists are versed in bright colors and edgier cuts. Parking seems like it would be hard, but I've always been able to pull into a little spot on the side. This is a great, convenient location! Next time I have a special event in town I'll definitely book a styling appointment, too!

Both she and another one of our friends got it done for their wedding and they looked fabulous. I knew I had to book an appointment for my next event! I made a reservation online and it was extremely easy. Studio A is kind of hard to find if you've never been. Definitely look it up online before heading that way with your Google Maps. I got lost! It's nestled in Cahaba Heights across the street from Starbucks and Dairy Queen. You also need to remember to wear dark and loose fitting clothing. It's a small salon but is tidy and cute! There's pictures of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe everywhere. Everyone I came in contact with there was very nice. When I got my airbrush tan done, you could tell they took their time with extreme precision. They assessed my body and where to spray - whether it be more or less. I think my whole session was about 10-15 minutes. It was dry nearly immediately. They even walked me to the front door, as it was raining earlier on in the day, to make sure my feet and legs wouldn't get wet. The tan was dark, but not over powering. There was orangey/oompa-loompa coloring either. My tan lasted around 10 days. Amazing! Studio A has a new forever client in me! Love, love, love it!
