My hair came out beautiful! I loved the conversation, the comfortable environment, and the personalized service. Lastly, I love that she only uses eco-conscious products. I highly recommend Kristin and Eco Beauty

Unprofessional, Misleading, and Dishonest…read more As a first-time bride(like most bride's), I relied on Kristin's professionalism to guide me through the process -- but instead, I was misled and overcharged. She told me she could "make it work" if I brought in my own hair stylist, and even accepted an introduction to that person. At no point did she make it clear that her pricing wouldn't change -- even if she wasn't providing hair services. By the time she revealed that I'd still be charged full price, it was too late to adjust. If you're a wedding vendor working with someone new to this (like most brides), you have a responsibility to be transparent and fill in the gaps -- not take advantage of them. I ended up feeling cornered and exploited. I would strongly caution anyone against working with Kristin unless you're prepared to overpay for services you don't receive.

Horrible! First time there and when I made the appointment I made it for a full head highlight…read more When I got there the woman said oh I don't have time to do a full highlight and I won't have time to style you. After she pulled at my hair for close to two hours and chewed gum in my face, she charges me $150 and didn't even do my hair color right. So upset I'm crying! Run from this place!!

Natalie recently did my makeup for my wedding on 7/14/13, as well as my four bridesmaids, mom and…read moremom-in-law. She was soo great! She did she an outstanding job with all of us, we all arrived to the wedding feeling so beautfiul. I found Natalie on yelp and was a little nervous about having her do my make-up without knowing what she'd be like in advance. I decided to do a pre-trial run through and was blown away by her professionalism and talent. She did such an excellent job, I was so excited to find her. She used great products, and did a phenomenal job of balancing a natural but elegant look. I decided to go with the airbrush makeup, which I would highly recommend- it stayed throughout the night! My bridemaids and moms also loved her! Some of them are pretty particular about getting their makeup done, and they were fully impressed and complimentary about Natalie! She is an absolute sweetheart and a true professional- I would highly recommend Natalie for any event!

Amazing job and so great to work with!…read more I researched Natalie because I had heard about airbrush make-up and she's the only one in the area who offers it... I'm so glad I found her! I did a trial with her before the wedding and she was so pleasant to work with, not to mention she did a great job. She took her time and made sure I was 110% satisfied with what she had done, continuing to get my opinion along the way, not every make-up artist will do that. She came on sight the day of the wedding and everything was perfect! The airbrush looked flawless and I didn't have to touch up the whole night! I got so many compliments on my make-up, and really enjoyed having Natalie be a part of my big day!

And I've been seeing her for years. She is super knowledgeable and she is my go-to for beauty and skin tips. I don't trust anyone else to get my crazy brows done perfectly except for her. Chrissie also did my wedding makeup, and I felt so beautiful! She also did my maid of honor's makeup and Gabby looked absolutely stunning. I loved having someone I've known for years be there to help me look and feel my best on one of the most important days of my life. These ladies are absolutely the best, and I recommend them and their business to everyone! Do yourself a favor and book an appointment!

Front desk staff is always very warm and welcoming. This review, though, is about Zira, a Senior Colorist at Akari. I've known her for 8 years or so through Akari, initially when she was an apprentice. As a colorist Zira is warm, upbeat and patient, she is open to feedback, and in fact asks for it, and she's always fun to talk with!

One side had more hair cut off than the other, it's poorly shaped and shorter than I expected. It's going to take YEARS to grow this out.

I initially booked for a spray tan from Coastal Bronzing and ended up seeing a few other services (botox, hair) that I booked. When I came in for my hair appointment they let us know about the wine and snacks in the waiting room - which on a Friday afternoon TOTALLY fit the bill. It's nice that each individual salon space feels a little more private / custom to you. Miranda is so fantastic so I highly recommend her.
