My daughter and I have been doing the magic sleek (a defrizzing, straightening treatment) on our…read morecurly locks for a few years now. We've been happy with our treatment and stylist, but a friend recently switched to Jasmine and said the results were better than ever. My daughter had 2 days home between summer adventures so I figured it was worth trying Jasmine. She was booked when I reached out, but then the week of let me know she had a cancellation and could take her - whoo hoo! The entire process took 4.5 hours, which is long, but crazy enough less than the 5+ hours we usually spend doing this treatment. Jasmine herself was was super friendly and confident that my daughters hair would be better than ever with this treatment. I was hopeful, but skeptical. She got to work right away with a few assistants helping with the process. When I picked up my daughter I was shocked how straight and smooth her hair was after just running a blow dryer thru it for a few minutes. My daughter was thrilled, although she hoped it would be a little wavy after braids since she doesn't like it perfectly straight. She took off for camp the next day, but the only letter I've gotten in the mail is (no joke) "my hair is totally straight." And based on the camp pictures I've been amazed by how well it took to her hair. It looks a little wavy at the ends and I'm guessing she's likely sleeping in braids to get it to curl a bit. We usually have to do this treatment every 5 months. Jasmine thought every 6-12 months, but our roots grow in so curly that I'd be shocked if we could go that long. I'm also interested in trying Jasmine for the magic sleek, but she thought other treatments would be better for my blonde (highlighted) hair like the keratin express. It's tough to please a 13 year old when it comes to hair (and other things), but I think Jasmine did it!

Fortunately, Nikki, who seems to do the makeup for the majority of North Shore mitzvahs had availabilty. We had a test run for my daughter's photo shoot back in July and my daughter was absolutely thrilled with the results. She's jumped on the makeup and skincare bandwagon the past year so she was so excited to get her makeup done for the first time...and Nikki did a beautiful job. Months later Nikki showed up at my house for our big weekend. She did 5 of us for pictures and then came back the next day for the big party. When I realized I had a ton of family who wanted their makeup done in a short amount of time I asked Nikki if she had anyone else who could accompany her. She brought along another freelance makeup artist, Christine Putrell, who was so fabulous. They make a good team and everyone loved their makeup. I would definitely use Nikki (and Christine!) for my makeup needs again in the future. In fact, I plan to for my son's bar mitzvah and once again will call way ahead.

Tori does an EXTREMELY professional job and I always leave completely obsessed with my hair.

Not only does Tori do great work, she's SOOO much fun and easy to talk to! Although it might not seem like a huge deal, but when you are sitting there for 2 hour getting your hair done, it's important to feel completely comfortable. Tori is one of the only stylist I've ever had where I really look forward to seeing her and catching up. I would recommend her for any styling/wedding needs!

I have been doing my makeup the same way since I was 15 and figured that I needed a change. My…read morebirthday, in conjunction with a 50% of WeDeal for a one hour makeup lesson with Cynde, made for a great excuse to mix things up a bit. She started off the lesson by going through different basic, daytime looks. Cynde worked within the time limitations I gave her (I am not the type to spend a ton of time prepping) to quickly change my look from a work environment to a night out. She went through everything from how to line my eyes, use of shadow depending on my mood, and even getting rid of my chapped lips. With every consultation, she gives her clients a free eyebrow shaping, which worked out well because I was long overdue! Cynde took me about fifteen minutes late for my appointment, which I really didn't mind, especially because she ran well over the one hour time slot making sure she went over different looks and perfecting my makeover. While she has her own makeup line available for sale, I explained my current financial situation and she didn't pressure me to buy anything, which was much appreciated. I did buy a couple things (it was my birthday after all) and I love her cream eyeshadow that I use as a base to keep powder shadow put, a lip pumice, and a lip gloss - all of which I love. While I am sure there are other places where you can do something like this, I have yet to come across them. I was planning on watching a couple Youtube videos to get some new ideas, but it was so much more fun to have a lesson custom for your face and color palate. I will definitely be back for a few other things once I have some spare cash. BONUS: When my boyfriend saw me later that night, he thought I looked like a total babe. Nice!

I was very specific before my hair cut when I said, "Just cut it straight across. No layers. Just a blunt, straight line. Straight across. NO layers." He cuts it straight across. And it was perfect. And then proceeds to add layers and says, "it just looks better in my opinion." I also asked for curls and it's bone straight. Not a curl in SIGHT. I paid and tipped. Wish I would have been given this awesome 20% off the first haircut but I didn't know about it. When I left, my hair looked nice. But just an hour later and I can see all those awesome layers that I just don't want. And there's nothing I can do but either cut it way shorter or just look at it every day until t grows out. Straight across. No layers. Dang.

Deb and Eliana were a total powerhouse duo for my wedding hair and makeup. They were so…read moreprofessional while still making the entire experience super fun. I brought in photos and when I say they delivered.....they delivered!!! I walked out of my trial looking better than expected and in my actual wedding day they stepped it all up and I felt perfect. I am usually very hesitant to get my makeup done because of my pore size and early stages of maturing skin but I looked flawless. I wanted a non-traditional bride look with a rust eye and berry lip. But still natural- Eliana hit it perfectly. With hair up-dos I find that I'll show a picture and they talk me into a slightly different version of what I brought in- not Deb. She was like- absolutely and then added more oomph to the pictures I showed her. I went with clip-in extensions (a ton of them), half up, boho fishtail braids throughout and a ethereal bridal headpiece. These two were magic and I couldn't recommend them enough to make you look spectacular on your special day. I also had them do the hair and makeup for my mom and sister-in-laws- everyone was super happy with their look, and they are all picky!! These two are perfection!
