My wedding on Labor Day weekend 2018 was a three-day multicultural event. It was a blessing to…read morehave ShaTerra and her remarkable team provide the hair and makeup services for my bridal party and myself. To simply state ShaTerra is amazing is an understatement. ShaTerra is professional, thorough, kind, meticulous, and knowledgeable. ShaTerra begins her services with comprehensive questionnaire asking insightful questions to be completed before your bridal preview, or in my case, bridal previews. The questionnaire asked me about my insecurities regarding makeup, the overall looks I wanted for myself, and the bridal party. On the day of the first bridal preview, ShaTerra remembered my answers, and we talked through how to achieve the looks for the entire wedding. But her meticulousness didn't end there. ShaTerra wanted to see pictures on how the makeup lasted throughout the evening, and sends a follow-up retrospective email asking things that went well, and what could have been better. She truly wants her clients to be happy. On our second preview, ShaTerra not only did preview looks for me, but my mother as well. She even offered to do my sister, who accompanied us, even though it was not scheduled. To have someone be that dedicated and generous to her clients was humbling. I felt so lucky and blessed to have found her. ShaTerra handled any surprises we threw at her, such as adding additional services in stride, and most importantly she is insanely talented! ShaTerra accomplished every single look I and my bridal party wanted and then some! She enhanced my best features; understood challenges women of color have when it comes to makeup shades and sustainability. Not to mention is quite experienced with Indian culture. She knew how to frame my face to complement the traditional bridal jewelry pieces and dupatta draping (think heavy veil). Not having to explain cultural norms was refreshing. ShaTerra will be my first and only call, if I ever have a need for any of her services again. To any future brides out there, book ShaTerra for your wedding, I promise you won't regret it!

Their $200 NONREFUNDABLE DEPOSIT policy is very bad business practice…read more I had an appointment with Shaterra on a Saturday. Called on Tuesday to cancel as had other obligations I could not get out of. Was told my $200 deposit would not be reimbursed..... $200 !!!! Called, talked with Shaterra and she would not consider my difficulty in having to cancel. A good business owner would have at least given back part of deposit. This is wrong. I cancelled in plenty of time for her to schedule someone else. I understood if I cancelled 48 hours before appointment,-- which I did - -I would get deposit back. I have used other permanent cosmetic companies, and no deposit was ever required. No "punishment" for cancelling either. Terrible policy and unwavering owner to not give MY money back. Do not understand all the positive reviews. Would never use this company.

I have been seeing Kiki Behr for about a year now for multiple needs. I have seen her for waxing,…read moreeyebrow and lash tints, lash lifts, henna tints, and in the next couple weeks an appointment for microblading. Her professionalism and upbeat personality are second to none. You are always welcomed into a clean, well maintained, comfortable atmosphere. There are no stupid questions regarding her services and she is extremely knowledgeable regarding everything she offers. I have recommended a multitude of friends to her and each one comes back to me singing her praises. My 9 year old, to her misfortune has a unibrow. After much thought I brought her to Kiki to help get it under control. Not only was my 9 year old beaming with delight after her first eye brow wax, this momma was happy seeing a very naturally shaped brow without too much arch attitude. Go! You won't regret it.

I got in contact prior to making appointment to confirm she could do the design or something very similar and she said of course. When the time came for the appt not only did she make them look like shark teeth and not almond shape she attempted the design and said she was "not feeling it" and made judgement herself and created what was poor and terrible quality and not worth the $60 bucks! All of her nails I have seen looked great but these were TERRIBLE. she never even offered to redo them,ask for another option or anything. She chose what she wanted to do.

She is my forever stylist!…read more Tired of not so good hair from some very good salons I let my hair grow out and carefully searched for better options. I decided to come here after looking for a salon that had a reputation for being contemporary, a little out of the box with their creativity, attention to detail and was attracted by the pride she took in her art and craft. Nicole loves what she does and it shows. Nicole is the very first stylist I have ever had a successful cut and style that I actually love * love * love! Great hair is possible and when you find it you know you have something special. I have used Square One, Studio Blue and like goldilocks found one just right when I arrived at Nicole's chair looking for that "just right experience." While the other salons I went to are all very good my search brought me to what I now think is my forever hair home. The entire experience was one of them carefully listening to my needs. But the main event of course is about the hair. Nicole cut my hair and she just made it wonderful. Nicole is wonderful. A true artist. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. The facilities were clean, simple and very calming. This was not a 5 star experience. It was a solid 10 stars and then some. I am so grateful for her.

Found Emily via Groupon. I recently moved to Dayton and needed a new stylist so thought I'd give…read moreBello Salon a shot. I wish I could say I was thrilled with the results. Whenever I get a new do, I try to be excited, though I will say I don't like to get my hair cut. It's always a challenge to communicate clearly with a stylist. Sigh, again, I didn't do well on my part. In full disclosure, I will admit that when I'm shocked at hair results, I usually feign that I like it and always end up tipping well, one because I'm in shock and two because I want to believe that I will like it; just give it time. Time lasted until I got home. I chose highlights, even selecting the color. Eeks.... As soon as I got home, I recolored as it just looked awful on my complexion. Yes, I count on a good stylist to advise better on what will look good on my complexion and what won't. The cut? Sigh... I made the mistake of saying I would like to grow it out. I didn't mean to not reshape it; especially since I've been guilty of chopping on it over time. She barely, and I mean barely touched it with scissors; not even a general overall 1/4 inch cut; just cut it in places and texturized it. Well, a bad haircut going in is now getting a chance to grow out as a longer bad haircut. I came home and after recoloring, restyled it and it doesn't lay nicely in the back -- a good haircut would/should have and the sad thing is it used to several cuts ago. The entire color/highlights/brow wax/cut/style took 1.5 hours. I wish I could be happy with that but maybe it should have taken longer; it always has before, but oh, yeah... that was with a haircut in there. Sigh... it's back to the drawing board with the search for a stylist and how to communicate with them and what expectations to have.

Hello new love of my life!!…read more I moved to Dayton over the summer and had not been having any luck finding someone to do my hair! After seeing the same few people from my old city for years, it was unsettling to have to find someone new.... I am VERY particular about my hair. I have very long, thick, curly and often unruly hair which is difficult to manage. Also, I went from over highlighted in the summer to dark which was not going well. I went to two salons in Dayton prior to going to Bello and was sorely disappointed with both. I found EMILY at Bello by luck, or chance, or maybe just a blessing!! Emily made me feel comfortable as soon as I arrived and it felt like I was with an old friend! I hate when you go to a salon and the sytlist either doesn't speak to you or you can tell they are faking their niceness (haha). Emily was definitely not that way and we hit it off immediately. She asked me what I wanted to do but also offered her own advice for what would work the best (color wise) -- My color is PERFECT!! Also, I won't just let anyone cut my hair (because it's so long and some people get scissor happy!) but I trusted her and she gave me an amazing cut! She also waxed my eyebrows the day of my appointment (also very happy with outcome). I cannot begin to explain how happy I am with Emily! And have received sooooo many compliments on my hair only just two days after my appointment! I HIGHLY recommend Emily at Bello. I will not go anywhere else after finding her and I promise. if you have any sense of humor whatsoever, you will enjoy your time spent there! The owner, Joni, was there for my appointment time as well and the two of them together were a riot! PS: You cannot, will not, beat Emily's prices. Hands down. She should be charging more (but don't tell her I said that!! haha)
