This was awhile ago but I wanted to finally give my eternal gratitude…read more I came to Mane + Mani one day, late March 2018, when I had been shopping around the Lynnfield Marketplace with my friend. I had just gotten out of the hospital a few days prior, and had been suffering from a serious bout of depression. I, embarrassingly, hadn't washed my hair in quite awhile. I felt gross walking around in public, even though I had a hat on. I looked up on my phone hair salons and came across this one (because I thought this was a nail salon lol) so I called in and asked if I could come in for just a hair wash. I said that my water was turned off, because I couldn't bring myself to admit that I had no excuse for such dirty hair. I was so embarrassed and humiliated, but when I came in, the woman (I wish I could remember her name) washed my hair with no judgment present. She talked to me and asked me about my day and if I had found anything good to buy at any of the shops. It was the most wonderful experience. It was so kind and genuine. When the wash was over, I was told I didn't have to pay. I want to thank you all for what you did for me this day. Your kindness outshone any badness in the world that day. Thank you. I apologize for lying about my water being turned off also, because I feel like that should be said. Im leaving this review though, so the people out there can understand and know how wonderful the people working here are. Thank you.

Stay away from Ashley Bodek!! Terrible, terrible, terrible experience. I left extremely…read moredisappointed. I had heard some negative things beforehand but decided to give her a chance anyway, and unfortunately, I wish I hadn't. My experience was incredibly unprofessional and left a really bad impression. I also overheard her speaking very negatively about a coworker behind her back, while at work, which I found extremely unprofessional and uncomfortable. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking an appointment with her.

Kristina Makris truly exemplifies what it means to be a master at her craft and profession. Book…read moreher immediately for your wedding, engagement photo shoot or event and I promise you that you will be happier than you could ever imagine. Now let me explain why: Kristina came to my rescue for my wedding and I don't know if I ever will be able to properly thank her. I booked my original wedding makeup artist over a year from my wedding. She wouldn't do a trial with me until 3 months from my wedding and after the trial I was incredibly disappointed and worried. I didn't feel confident with this person's capabilities for my wedding and I didn't feel that I was listened to when I voiced my concerns. I have a large, pigmented birthmark on my face that is very difficult to conceal and many makeup artists don't know how to handle it - the original makeup artist certainly didn't know how to conceal it and didn't listen to me after my trial when I said it still was visible to me. I canceled my contract and frantically took a desperate chance and contacted none other than Kristina Makris owner and master makeup artist of Flawless Makeup & Beauty Lounge. I had watched her skills for years when I would go to her studio to get my eyebrows done, however, I never would've thought I could've been lucky enough to have her do my wedding makeup. When I contacted Kristina it was not only THREE months from my wedding and in peak wedding season, but it was over a weekend. Kristina emailed me back the SAME day and said she wanted to help me out and was available. I was stunned! I signed a contract with her and locked my wedding in immediately. Then we booked a trial within a few weeks of signing the contract. My trial was nothing short of perfect. Kristina listened to me and my concerns, she made suggestions and asked questions about the bridal look I wanted, and took a great deal of time with my makeup application. I left feeling the best I ever had about myself and couldn't stop smiling! Before my wedding Kristina was always available to speak to about the wedding day timeline, gave me a spray tan location recommendation, skincare tips and even helped with bridal look suggestions. She was extremely kind, patient and communicative. The day of my wedding Kristina arrived on time, set up all of her makeup and lighting, and set the most calming and peaceful mood for the day. She was in a separate room from my hair stylist and it was so enjoyable to be around Kristina that my normal tense, type-A personality became calm and I was able to be in the moment and enjoy the day. My makeup on my wedding day was nothing short of perfect. I couldn't even believe it was ME when I looked at myself in the mirror. Each of my bridesmaids and my 60-year-old mother looked equally beautiful. They were all extremely happy with their makeup and couldn't stop taking pictures of themselves. She listened to each of them and gave them exactly what they wanted. I was so proud of how stunning my ladies looked. Kristina is a true professional through and through. Her skills are unparalleled. I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my bridal makeup on the most important day of my life. She listened to me and never once minimized my feelings or concerns about my birthmark. She handled everything with kindness and compassion and was such an important part of my wedding day. It was like having a good friend with you talking and laughing and enjoying every minute. ****I could not recommend Kristina Makris at Flawless Makeup & Beauty Lounge more. Do yourself a favor and hire her immediately and you will NOT regret the decision.****

My skin was horrible, I didn't have a normal skin care routine, I was buying stuff just because I saw it on TikTok, my hormones were all out of whack and I just honestly didn't look healthy. Her actual first piece of advice to me was to simply just make it a habit to rinse my face with water. She's a mom too so she gets it! She wasn't trying to sell me products or have me book the most expensive facial, she genuinely cared about my skin and just wanted me to start making small changes. This has been a journey we've gone through together. And fast forward to now, I am GLOWING. As she got to know me and my skin, she was able to recommended products that would work just for me - and they do. I trust every piece of advice she gives me and feel so confident now without make up. Also should mention she does my brows and I will never trust anyone else but her with them ever again.
