I went to Riki for microblading and was really impressed. She is very thorough and detailed. She is…read morealso very clean and is serious about it because you are dealing with open skin. You can tell she enjoys doing this and takes pride in her work. She isn't someone just going through the motions. I am very impressed with my brows and the overall experience. A little run down of what happens - you make a consult appointment and then go in for the consult. She explains the process and actually outlines the areas where your brows should be. If you decide to proceed, you then make an appointment for the microblading. This appointment takes approx. 1 1/2 hours. I will admit that it is slightly uncomfortable when she first starts but she then adds a numbing cream and you can no longer feel it. You then make your appt for approx 6 weeks for a fill. Riki gives you a detailed sheet with what to expect and do over the next few weeks. She also gives you the items needed for the initial few weeks - cleanser, ointment to be applied. You cannot exercise to where you sweat for 2 weeks - you've been warned ladies! LOL - this part was a little frustrating for me but I got my run done in the morning before going and just knew what to expect and thought about long term and how I didn't want to impact the look, plus I just spent all of that money, there was no way I was damaging her awesome work! The second week, I had a little flaking and they were a little itchy. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend going here, if you are considering microblading.

Don't even think about booking anyone else. Riki is the best and she books up quick. She was…read morerecommended to me by numerous people in the Finger Lakes area and I'm so happy I went with her. I was always afraid that my wedding makeup would end up looking too overdone, but Riki completely dispelled those fears. I've never seen some deftly transition between makeup styles. For my bridesmaid who wanted it heavier, she got it. For my mom who doesn't wear makeup and wanted just a touch of it, she got it. If you explain to Riki what you want (even in general terms) she makes it happen. She's a makeup magician! And such a calming presence too. Truly, can't thank her enough for making me feel and look like myself on my wedding day!

I'm a low low-maintenance, laid-back-vibes kind of hair care person, and I (rightly) assumed I'd…read morefeel right at home here. The online booking is supper easy to navigate. I liked that there was a specific service for new clients, because it made making the appointment frictionless, no decisions involved. I made an evening appointment (great that she has those,) but because of a cancellation actually got to come in a few hours earlier. Yay! The space is very cozy and intimate, perfect if a bustling salon isn't your scene. It's decorated simply and chicly and had super relaxing music. Mo is so kind and listens to what you want. I went for a simple cut and shape, and it looked very nice when it was done. Prices were reasonable too. Would recommend!

Lynne did an absolutely amazing job with my makeup for my wedding. We did a makeup trial about a…read moremonth before and based off that we made some minor tweaks the day of the wedding. Lynne is super friendly and easy to work with. She made my mom feel comfortable getting her makeup done even though she was nervous, and was able to fit my mother-in-law in at the last minute when she decided she did actually want to get her makeup done as well. My bridesmaids all looked amazing, and I would 100% recommend Lynne if you're thinking about booking for your wedding.

The stylist I was with was very sweet and kind, but she ruined my hair for my graduation photo…read moreshoot. All I wanted was simple curls. I even brought in photos of what had been done on me in the past by stylists back home. She had me leave with my hair up in tiny buns on my head and told me to take them down before my shoot and run my fingers through them. I thought this was strange as in the past hairstylists just used a 1 inch curling wand. My hair turned out atrocious and she could not fit me in to fix her mistake. I was given a refund, but I will never get back the opportunity to take decent graduation photos. I really held back about writing review because she was so sweet, but I just got my photos back today and here I am upset again because this hair stylist didn't know how to do curls.

Also, I rarely wear makeup, so it was difficult to tell what exactly I wanted. I left that part up to Holly, to do what she felt was best for me. The appointment took almost an hour, and that time flew by. Talking to Holly was easy and fun, and I enjoyed being in her company. I was worried that the makeup would feel heavy, or look caked on up close since there were many layers of products that were being applied to my face. When I finally got to look, I was so blown away! I couldn't believe the magic she did. It was so natural and I felt completely like myself. She gently enhanced all of my features and didn't overdo a thing. Once I got the photos back from the shoot, I still couldn't believe how great the makeup looked. We shot both indoors and out, and everything was perfect. I looked like I was glowing, and felt amazing. Holly is well worth hiring for your makeup needs. You can tell she loves what she does, and has a definite skill. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
