I need to give Gel 500 stars!!…read more We needed a makeup artist for my son's wedding for family members. We traveled to Tacoma from San Diego. Gel was recommended by another artist I met at a bridal bizarre and I was a bit nervous as I hadn't spoken or met Gel. I reached out and we chatted. She's SO dang cute and what you see is what you get. She's reassuring, patient and kind. Above and beyond all that, that girl knows her stuff!! I told her we have a vast range of ages and looks- "No problem!" I perused her Insta and saw incredible work. And she had 6 of us to work on- I thought for sure we'd have to start the night before!! She arrived at 9 and I brought her up to the room. She worked on me first and then my daughter. I have "mature" skin (old) and she made me look like I was 40!!! Ok maybe 50 but I am 61. LOL. She made me look beautiful!!! She was in a groove just doing us one after the other. She sweet. Easy to talk to. We laughed about family and drama and weddings. By the time she left, it was like sitting around talking g with girlfriends. She did such a beautiful job on all of use. We did not look like carbon copies. She individualized each of our looks. I felt and looked amazing. Now remember-- I booked Gel sight unseen and I'm so happy fate brought her to us!! Thank you Gel for making us all look so beautiful and stunning!! We really enjoyed our time with you!!

I booked Gel for my wedding makeup and of all the vendors I was most nervous about makeup because I…read moredon't wear it that often and know very little about how to do it correctly. But boy was I in good hands! I saved photos off of her instagram of things I liked and she was able to tailor that to me during the trial and then day of was even better. I did not think it was possible that I could look that beautiful! She did my bridal party and the vibes she brought were immaculate! She got along great with everyone and they all loved their makeup! Also she was on time and very quick and was even able to schedule in some of my bridesmaids that changed their minds because they saw how good everyone looked! My makeup lasted all day and into the night. Honestly I wish I lived closer to her to have my makeup down by her more often!

I joined the #lashgang and the wonderful and most adorable @blushbybrenna gave me wings. My lash game is strong. I have been wanting to get lashes for sometime and finally had the opportunity to get them done. Thank you to my sweet brother @myfriendscallmespathe for hooking your sister up!! I couldn't be any happier about them. They seriously dress up your whole face. Brenna is just the sweetest. Right when you walk into her establishment you are just greeted with the kindest human being ever. I would have to say she has the perfect personality for this type of establishment. You know the type of business where people have to be in your face. Thank you darling for the #upgrade.

I also learned a lot from her about hair even though I have been in the beauty industry for over decade now. She has excellent customer service and has done my hair for photoshoots and events plenty of times along with her twin sister Gel as the makeup artist. Kudos to this boujee, classy, and sassy kind of girl. Her skills are top knotch when it comes to bridal hair which is her specialty! Love ya lady! Gucci!

The actual hair and makeup was beautiful, but you have to put up with terrible communication and…read moreunresponsiveness. I never received any kind of contract or final quote. I reached out to book my trial and didn't hear back for 2 months and only after reaching out more. I also didn't get a timeline until the day before including arrival times for the stylists. Then they texted me afternoon the day before my wedding asking me to pay in full (still no contract) and when I didn't see because I was at my rehearsal dinner they texted again saying I needed to pay promptly at 9am the day of my wedding. Luckily it all worked out but I was extremely anxious they were going to bail, especially because again I had absolutely nothing holding them to it besides a few texts. TL:DR- the stylists are awesome so I hope the company improve some of their administrative practices because as of now I would not recommend them to friends or family.

I am really disappointed with the professionalism of Pacific Artistry and Moda Organic Salon. I…read morereally wanted them to be as professional and as talented as their other clients describe them as. When I was ready to sign a contract to book both the trial run and the wedding day, they never got back to me with a contract. I contacted them twice about the contract and waited weeks between each email. I finally called the studio in an attempt to book the trial. The receptionist took my information and had the owner email me the booking site. The receptionist confirmed availability for my wedding date. I was disappointed when the trial was $50 more than what I was quoted on my original inquiry. When I checked into the salon, Moda Organic Salon - which is owned by the same person, I was greeted by chaos: loud music, kids running around, and no one at the receptionist desk. My appointment started 45 min late. My stylist, the owner, rushed through my hair styling and told me how busy she was. She even reported off that her daughter said, "I'm really good at swimming and you're really good at working." My hair style looked nothing like the pictures I provided. My bun didn't look full and the curls fell out of the bun after an hour of walking around. The airbrush makeup looked natural with the exception of blotchy areas on my cheeks, which she assured me it was from a gentle peel I did a few days before. Lacey had me email her all the details for my day of services and assured me that she'd send me a contract afterwards. I paid $250 for my trial, sent her all my details, and reached out multiple times about a contract. I never heard back from her. That's $250, about 2 hours in a salon, and 2 hours of commuting wasted over sub par service. Overall, the owner Pacific Artistry and Moda Organic Salon simply lacks the professionalism and communication skills any bride deserves. There are hundreds of wedding day styling artists out there and unfortunately some are unprofessional and some are scam artists... I really do feel like this company fits right in that category.

I'd say her energy is a bit scattered and she didn't bring everything she needed for both the trial and my wedding day. But the end result was good with makeup, and that's what matters.

I went in knowing what I wanted but was looking to be color matched. I guess I was expecting a more hands on staff willing to help and give advice. That wasn't the case, unfortunately. I quickly found the product I wanted and after looking over colors for a few minutes then went up to the front desk to ask for assistance. The woman was as nice as necessary, pointed out a few colors that she said looked like a match. No offer to swatch my face with the product testers on display. Not much else to add in her assistance. I took it from there and just picked a color I thought would work and checked out. I've since started ordering my products online.

I had a not so great experience with the first makeup artist I contacted about services for my…read morerecent wedding, and was feeling a bit discouraged. Then, I found Olivia through Yelp with her 5-star reviews, and from the first contact everything has been AMAZING! Olivia responded quickly, was so organized and friendly and I felt so much more comfortable right away with her. My wedding day unknowingly aligned with a demonstration march through downtown Seattle. Our hotel was right in the thick of it and all the roads around it were closed down by police. However, Olivia miraculously made it right on time and even told me she had to run through the marchers with her makeup suitcase in order to get to our hotel!!! I booked Olivia to do my own bridal makeup along with makeup for my sister and mother. She took her time to make sure that we all loved our looks, while still being very efficient. Having not done a makeup trial with her first (I live out of state), I'm so impressed that Olivia totally NAILED the look I had envisioned, based on some examples I'd pulled from Pinterest and sent her the week before. Olivia even left me with a small gift containing a tiny size of the same lipstick she'd used and a matte powder with puff for touch-ups. I felt beautifully glamorous and the makeup stayed all night, including lots of crying. ;) I highly recommend Olivia!! She's just the sweetest thing and a true artist.
