Susan Bell NOURISH MOISTURIZER I use this on my son's (6) eczema on his eyelids and patches behind his knees. It soothes the dry skin and works to reduce the irritation. This is the only cream he allows because it is smooth to apply, doesn't stink, and it is not sticky. We've tried many different kinds of moisturizers, anti itch creams, and this is our go to.

Meg did hair and makeup for me and 10 other people the morning of my wedding. She brought an…read moreassistant, and the two of them were professional, calm, friendly, and SO EFFICIENT it was amazing. Pre-wedding, we did two trials, because she did exactly what I asked for at the first trial, only for me to decide I actually wanted something else. Then she sent questionnaires for everyone in my group to fill out so that she could make sure to budget the right amount of time and have any special materials available, and they were flexible, as my numbers changed in the weeks before the wedding. We all looked beautiful! And as a bonus it was all organic!

I hired Meg to do my wedding hair & makeup, and also for my bridal party! Meg is GREAT! She was…read moresuper easy to work with, understanding, calm (which a bride needs on her big day), and really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I got so many compliments on my hair! I love that her products are all natural too, and I didn't feel like the makeup was caked on or overdone, as can be the case with wedding looks. Definitely recommend Meg for beautiful makeup and hair!

I had a friend that went to ALIX and her brows were FABULOUS! So I looked around closer to me, and…read moreno photos looked as good. I finally booked and SO GLAD I DID! Super detailed, soooo great. I will post a photo once they have completely healed. But even a few days later they look SUPER NATURAL! Best investment in myself I've done in IONS!

Alix is a fantastic artist, this was my second time getting my brows done by her. The first time we…read moretook our time and brows came out perfect. After a couple tries of her trying to draw the template and it wasn't quite right, I asked if I could do the drawing and I ended up loving them! A few years later I was back and this time I figured it would be a breeze since the old tattoo was there as a template and I had drawn them to show Alix how I wanted them to look ( hair stroke into solid ) the first draw she did I asked her to redo and I said that "looked better" but they still looked off and for that I completely blame myself , I thought with the template of the old tattoo and coming in with my makeup on so she could see how I draw them, it would be good. Long short , it was a learning lesson not to ever underestimate a consultation. I ended up coming back in for a corrective tattoo which is better for sure, but I do wish we went lighter the second time so I could still do hair strokes with my pencil..falling short on consultation again. I realize mistakes happen and it's ok, but I have had the hardest time receiving correspondence from this artist. I've been left on read a couple times with no reply while dealing with the aftermath of the brows. I'm currently waiting for her to respond to a text I sent 7 months ago :( just asking for her to add a dab to the one that looks more square. She said I could reach out if they needed another adjustment. I've been very patient. Never got mad, never cried , nothing dramatic. Still leaving 5 stars for my girl, but I'm feeling overall underwhelmed with this experience especially the bad communication. The worst part is that I think about Alix every single morning when I pencil over these brows trying to make the most out of them, but my guess, I'm pretty far from her thoughts and it seems she has no intention of getting back to me.

I had lip blushing done with Kelly and unfortunately it was not a very good experience. First, she…read moreput on the numbing agent but then didn't come back for 45 minutes and it was all completely inactive by then. I felt everything fully and it was excruciatingly painful. I kept telling her that it was too painful and she just seemed inconvenienced rather than concerned. In the end, the color wasn't any different than my regular lip color, and I definitely like an all-natural, subtle look so for me to feel that way says something. The main draw of the blushing for me was to line just outside the lips to make them look fuller but she didn't even do that. When I asked her about it, she told me we would do that in a second session but when I booked and spoke about the procedure with her, I was never told I would have to come back for a second session. It was so incredibly painful and with lackluster results that I just never came back. It ended up being a waste of my money, time, and a LOT of pain.

I found Sarah Nicole through Melissa Marie for my wedding in Big Sur. These ladies, like previous…read morereviews have said, are super sweet and fun and made me, my bridal party and my mom and step-mom feel gorgeous on my big day. Sarah Nicole had to navigate the young (one 13 year old), the older (me and my bridal party) and the wiser (all the moms). Everyone's make-up was spot on and age appropriate. She listened to everyone's needs and if someone wanted an adjustment, was totally open to making that happen. We all received so many compliments and I'm not sure I will look this good at any other time again in my life. Would totally recommend her to anyone - and I hope to get her down to LA someday to help work on some of my clients. Super professional with an amazing personality - you couldn't ask for a better pairing.

I can't emphasize this enough...Leah is an incredible makeup artist!!!! I recently hired her to do…read moremy makeup for my 50th birthday and was blown away at my transformation. She knew exactly how to bring out my natural beauty (I like a more natural look) with her unique techniques and tools, and made me look at least 10 years younger!!! I couldn't believe how beautiful I felt!! She is literally a magician when it comes to makeup artistry. She had been referred to me by a friend who had used her for a black tie event back around the holidays, and when I saw her pictures from that night, I couldn't believe how gorgeous her makeup looked! (A bit more dramatic than my look, but stunning and beautiful) That's when she told me about Leah. She is now my go to girl for any special event. And did I mention how sweet she is? Seriously. Super sweet. Or how she respects my input when I told her what I want and don't want. I am so happy to have found her and for anyone still reading this, Leah also told me she is able to create any look, for any occasion, like bridal, TV, print work, and even festivals & Halloween. Love this girl!!!!!

She created a beautiful face of makeup for myself and my bridesmaids. We didn't have a wedding planner so we did all the set up ourselves, and her makeup lasted even through setting up and sweating!

Thank you Leah for making me look and feel beautiful for my wedding day!

Highly recommend using Bonnie for any of your makeup needs!
