My wife had an appointment today that she paid $20 to hold which was fine. She was running a few minute late for it and called ahead to let them know that, they informed her that the scheduled gal could not accommodate her but can get another lady to take her. No problem. When it came time to pay ($40 for the appointment) she was told that it would be another $20 for the missed 1st appointment and a full $40 for the second. So in the end she paid $80 for 1 $40 appointment. This is not a way to gain loyal customers. My wife was prepared to have Botox and several other services that BB provides but unfortunately this will not happen now. Things happen in life and sometimes people are a little late, I get that but come on people have some compassion. All I see is greed so please beware of this business. Don't be late. UPDATE - I was contacted by someone from the salon. The excuse they gave was because she was late and it moved into another clients time. Understandable. The problem is that the additional charge was not disclosed to her when they said "we could get you in with another aesthetician" one would think that great, I can still get the service done but with another person right? Well they are refusing to refund any portion of the 2 appointments. I have great respect for women owned businesses since my wife was one for 15 years and would never have dreamed of treating a client this way. I understand that you do have to run a business and make money especially when you have an appointment based business and people flake on you. My wife did not do that, she called ahead and let them know. She could have just not shown up at all but decided to and follow through with anyway not knowing of the policy because she knows how important each client is. All we are asking is for a little grace. read more

GO HERE! Don't waste your money and go to the others. I recently went to other pink place I thought was BB in Stillwater, do not go there, its NOT BB. BB Makeup is located in HUDSON only 15 min from St. Paul! I heard they just opened their 13th place in Menomonie WI but that is a little too far for me. HEHE but I literally would go to any one of them to get the service and the amazing makeup applications they give. I did a lesson, it was amazing. They taught me everything I didn't know about makeup, explained it in detail, wrote it down for me, then I bought ALL the products. LOL. Yelp all $450 worth of makeup, brushes, and a little skincare. I went home, followed my instructions, and was able to get it! BB was amazing! DO IT! They know what they are doing their and will not make you look dramatic...unless of course you want that. Oh oh and they do befores and after looks. I didn't want one, I was too scared, but when I go again I'm totally getting a before and after!!! GO THERE and enjoy yourself! I will send a pic of some of their work! read more

Brooke Is one talented lady. I am a salon owner about an hour and a half east of Hudson & Brooke & Colleen came to us and wowed us with the flawless BB makeup line and has taught me more than I have learned from all the beauty shows I've ever been to in 3 visits with her and one with her partner, Colleen. The girls are all about making you feel welcome & beautiful and are very good at explaining techniques so they can be replicated at home. I have chosen to retail this amazing line in my salon as well as learn her technique to apply permanent lash extensions. I leave every meeting with her feeling empowered and capable. Brooke & Colleen have inspired me as a salon owner to expand my horizons & become great at more than just hair and the responses from my clients have been overwhelmingly supportive. By the second day of having my makeup stocked and on display, I sold 5 prices to 2 different clients, simply by putting it on their face! Love Brooke, love BB, love Colleen. Thank you for coming into my life. read more

I traveled all the way from Chicago, to go to BB. So worth the drive!! I wanted to have the brow blading procedure. 5 stars all the way. Walk in the door to beautiful ladies greeting me with smiles and asking me if I'm excited (YESS I WAS) My husband went with me. I felt like I had stepped in to Barbie's dream house....Can you saw AWESOME?! Um Yesss...it is. I had the most wonderful experience from beginning to end. My mother in law and my son came in shortly after I got there to watch...She even has a child friendly waiting area Just for kiddos .(Maybe my mil will get her brows done by Brooke too) Brooke told me every move she would make before she did anything. She made sure that the shape looked good on my face. I only wish I'd have done this sooner. CLEAN, BEAUTIFUL , and FUN ...Thank you Brooke ...you're a real live Barbie Doll and I love you!! Thank you for making me feel beautiful Kathleen Steiner read more

Unfortunately I have to update my review to a 1 Star due to my lashes. I've been getting lash extensions for years and you have to adhere the lashes singly to each lash. This stopped happening and they were literally just glueing and stacking on top of other extensions. After a few weeks my lashes were so heavy and literally just filled with so much glue. When I would shed, I started noticing bald spots. I went to another salon to have them removed and they told me they had never seen an application so bad. They also told me I was not the only client from B.B. who had come in with problems. I have to now wait at least a month or longer to try to get my lashes to grow back, I have so many bald spots. I am super disappointed, but should have known something was up when the fill only took 25 minutes and a good fill should take 1 hour. If you love your lashes, don't go here. read more

I started going to BB years ago, because I saw a friend have GORGEOUS makeup done in a photo on Facebook. I grew up ugly. No really, I did :). I showed up at BB years ago wearing Wet N Wild from Walmart.. But Brooke never once made me feel like anything less than a celebrity, every single time I came in. The girls that work there learn your name, friend you on social media, and genuinely care about making you look and feel your best. They never pushed selling anything on me, but taught me how to apply make up and what to use, where to use it, and how to put it on! I now own pretty much everything in the store.. Because it's AMAZING. I also get my eye lash extensions done at BB. I actually should have written this review a long time ago! If you want to be surrounded by positivity, glitter, talent, and FRIENDS, there is no place on Earth like BB Makeup! read more

I have a blog called Weve Tried It. We test products, food, services, DIY - you name it we review it. Recently we needed our makeup done for a photo shoot and decided to check out BB Makeup Cosmetic Bar and we are SO glad we did!! The owner Brooke Fleetwood got us in on extremely short notice. Great vibe, fun atmosphere and the service was excellent. We will be going back soon. Two of us got our makeup and lashes done and we were in and out within an hour. Generally I don't wear makeup so this was great! The winter months had me down about how I looked lately and this instantly gave me a whole new attitude, I felt great. I can't say enough good about our experience. To read my full review and to see our before and after pics check out wevetriedit.com read more

LOVE! THIS! PLACE! SO! MUCH! I got my wedding makeup & hair done plus 16 bridesmaids, and the moms, and the grandmas. It was absolutely amazing! They were efficient and detailed. Brooke did my lash extensions prior to wedding & also did 2 facials so me to clear up my skin which now is perfect. My BM's and I came in for spray tans too a couple days before my wedding. It was not orange, it was the perfect color tan. Overall this place knows what they are doing, they mean business and to get the job done correctly. They book quick so if you are a bride, get in while you can. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Even my sister and friend booked with them, and they both times were consistent with great customer service! BOOK WITH THEM! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! read more

I want to say, I get my makeup done about every weekend and none of the BB girls ever disappoint me! Each time I get something different and each time they will make me look red carpet ready! They will offer me everything to make me look perfect! And yes DO the lashes, instead of caking the mascara on- it will make you look perfect anyways & DO the airbrush, this leaves your skin so soft and flawless it amazing (without looking caked or fake). Literally the only thing you will need to touch up in a couple hours is your lips, obviously, so I always leave with a new lip color! If you love glam, if you love being treated like a rock star, you will LOVE this place! They have multiple locations too!!! But Hudson is closest to me =) read more

Exceptional Service and Expertise! BB Makeup Cosmetic Bar is a true gem in Hudson! From the moment I walked in, I felt completely welcomed and at ease. Brooke is not only incredibly kind and genuine, but her passion and knowledge of her craft are immediately evident. She took the time to really understand what I was looking for and offered expert advice without ever being pushy. Her skill and attention to detail are unmatched...she made me feel confident and beautiful, and the whole experience was both fun and relaxing. Whether you're getting ready for a special event or just treating yourself, Brooke and her team go above and beyond. Highly recommend BB Makeup to anyone looking for top-notch service with a personal touch! read more

If you want to be treated like a Queen, come to BB. I always feel like I princess when I go, and they make me feel good about myself. The best part is the amazing pink walls, music and fun personalities. They make you feel like you've known them your entire life. The staff is unlike anything I've ever seen before. They don't pressure you, or make you feel like you are forced to do anything (Unlike other retail, YACK). I love BB and I not only go for makeup, but also for other services they offer. Their spray tan is AMAZING!!! It never has that disgusting orange tone like other places. It lasts and you can get pretty dark without the risk the sun provides. Love it! read more

My new favorite place! Fun, professional, girly atmosphere with amazing and talented beauty gurus! Had my brows bladed by Brooke and lashes done! Definitely a customer for life and would highly recommend! Brooke and BB have so much to offer their clients how could you not want to come here and hang out with them! I decided to add lashes on last minute after I scheduled my brow appointment and Brooke was more than happy to accommodate me and made sure I got my lashes! She takes pride in her work and her business and she made sure to explain everything very thoroughly to me! Thank you for be you Brooke and doing what you do! Had so much fun today with you! read more

I absolutely LOVEEEEE BB! After I owned BB Products, I was unable to go to any other brand. I am extremely picky about my makeup and would NEVER think to venture out from Mac, but to my surprise, I liked BB better than Mac! The pigments are incredible and on top of it, they actually stay on-- I love that I don't have to reapply every few hours! The environment is absolutely fun with loud music, bright pink walls and a staff who makes people feel good about themselves. I would never go to a different place! There is everything in one location. Spray tans, makeup applications, eye lash extensions, you name it! They have it! I REALLY recommend it! read more

I would love to know how a female entrepreneur would be "dragging women down", and how that has anything to do with the quality of work even if it was true. BUT known the less, fantastic people, emensely talented employees, point blank. And 35 minutes late (if it's even true) isn't that bad, I rather that, and know the person is doing a good job with the person ahead of me, then see a stylist half ass something. because guess what, the care they put into the person before you, is probably the same care you will get. read more

I had been admiring a friends brows for 2 years before finally taking the leap myself! I am THRILLED with the results. I wish I would have been in sooner for my brow blading. Brooke took so much care to make my brows perfect. Anyone considering brow blading, come to BB. All the ladies (affectionately referred to as the BB Dollz) are so sweet and friendly, you feel like old friends very quick. I was so impressed with Brooke, I booked my appointment for lip tattooing as soon as the service was offered. read more

Brooke is amazing. I've known her since she first started her business and she has been nothing but accommodating. She loves her clients and is willing to work with them when they are in need. AKA epic spray tans for last minute formal dinners...and bouffant lash fills. She knows her stuff and rocks it out. I give her a more than 5 stars. And every time I leave her shop my boyfriend compliments the way I look...and I can feel the difference. She makes you not only feel unique, but beautiful. read more

So, I am extremely picky about makeup. And I NEVER want to venture out from Mac. What works, works, right? That is how my mind worked. But I decided to try BB, and the results were incredible. The rich pigment and tones made me look flawless. I have major confidence issues, always paranoid about my appearance; but BB made me feel good. And after using the products, I feel more confident in myself! And that is something to be grateful for. Thank you. read more

If you want to feel gorgeous check out BB! Fun beautiful and energizing atmosphere! The girls are a riot, and very fun, funny and sweet.I " accidentally" stopped in to check out their make up on a recommendation from a friend. I was immediately sat down in the make up chair and having the best make up ever applied. I loved the experience AND the make up! It stayed on all day & night! Thanks ladies for making me feel pretty! read more

Highly recommended Just got my makeup done for my wedding last week and it was absolutely beautiful I wouldn't recommend anybody else but the girls at BB. I was not going to do the airbrush and lashes but the girls showed me what it was about and they were right it made me look absolutely flawless. I will be going back they were very helpful and knew The definition of beauty and make up. Would highly recommend read more
