When I was new to the eastern IA area, having moved from Chicago, I searched high and low for a…read morehair stylist / parlor that was a good fit. After what seemed to be a relentless search, I finally found Thompson & Co and have been extremely happy with their services and style ever since! First off, the instant you walk in the door, they are extremely accommodating and offer you a drink (water, coffee, beer, wine, etc.) and a comfortable place to sit while you wait for your appointment. As for my appointments, I do not necessarily just always go to the same stylist, as I have had equally good experiences with all of them to-date. It is also easier to schedule on the fly that way :) The stylists are very attentive listeners and do not make you feel bad if you continue to have suggestions until they get your haircut and style just right. They are also good about offering styling suggestions, but do not necessarily try and push their products on you. The other thing that is cool about their stylists, is the parlor not only encourages continued education, more over the parlor brings in other stylist from around the nation and maybe even world to teach them and provide new tips and tricks. I think that is just awesome, and worth supporting. Meanwhile, the environment is comfortable and cool the whole time. I honestly do not have any things to say where I think they need improvement at this time. So, if you are looking for an excellent stylist / parlor that you would think you could only find in a big city, check out Thompson and Co, and I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Cindy is great! She did my makeup for my wedding and I got nothing but compliments. I didn't know…read moreexactly what I wanted, but I showed her a couple of photos I liked from Pinterest and she created a look that I loved. The makeup also stayed in all day (the only thing I retouched was my lipstick), and it looked great in the photos. In addition, she did my eyebrows and lashes, both things were great. Cindy is also wonderful at assessing your skin's needs and recommending a skincare regimen. The location is also nice and relaxing--it was such a welcome break when I went there a couple of days before my wedding to get my eyebrows done. Bonus: Cindy was also nice enough to do my mother's makeup for the wedding. As many of us know, mothers can be a little stressed before weddings, and Cindy was nice enough to meet with my mom when she arrived in town, put together a look for her, and do her makeup on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Cindy, whether you are looking for skincare services or makeup for a special event.

Almost ever image on her website was photographed at my studio under my guidance using the exact lighting and posing setups that I created. Mary stopped working for me 2 months ago and we had no hard feelings at the time. She told me she was moving to Texas for her dancing. Perhaps she did move to Texas for dancing too but it is clear that she moved away from CA to start her own photography business as well. I think she didn't stay in LA because she planned to steal the work of other photographers and was already burn bridges with many LA photographers and makeup artists. Mary verbally and legally agreed to never use the images that we taken at my studio yet she still has them on her site. I want her potential clients to know this because they 1. They have a right to know Mary's business practices and 2. A photographer or any artist should use work which is theirs. I only found out about this because a few other photographers called me and were pissed that she had taken down the photography credits on her makeup site. They believed that this was done to mislead people into thinking that she had done the photography which was present on her makeup site. My only hope is that this warns potential clients before shooting with Mary Freitag and Light and Shine Photography.

Mary is fantastic! I…read morecontacted Mary about a headshot session for TV, film, & commercial. From my first inquiry she was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She took the time to get to know what I needed and told me all about her usual process. We got to shoot in a studio in North Hollywood (not her usual studio) which was quite a treat. Lots of light, great A/C, music, restroom for changing, racks for wardrobe, hair and makeup station, all the backdrops/props/lighting accoutrement we needed. When I got there we went through my wardrobe and worked out our shots. She made suggestions but was sure to incorporate my ideas and opinions. After making out final decisions she organized the wardrobe, hair and makeup to make the shoot flow smoothly from one look to the next. Coming from a hair and makeup background I was confident that she would not only make me up beautifully but also be able to touch up between shots and fix stray hairs etc. Something that I've not had the luxury of in previous shoots. Throughout the shoot she got things set up quickly and was so easy going it made sitting for the photos a relaxing and fun experience. With her direction and the atmosphere she created I was able to get a great variety of shots and expressions which was my ultimate goal. Overall I had a great time on our shoot and would recommend Light & Shine Photography to anyone out there looking for a knowledgable, efficient, and personable experience.

I have very long and thick wavy hair and wanted her to cut it so it had layers and emphasize the natural curls. She did a fantastic job and also taught me how to style and diffuse and dry my hair at home so that way I'm able to replicate the same low maintenance look I was going for. Highly recommend! You can make a reservation online and they do require a deposit. I think it was about 25% of the service selected. And then you pay the rest in person. I found that it was good value for the money compared to haircuts in the bay area where I live.
