I have fairly difficult hair to work with (tight curl, different curl patterns on each side of my head, long time hair dyer) but James Joseph took the bull by the reigns and made my hair healthier and happier - it's growing like crazy. He does awesome cuts and colour on all sorts of hair types - natural curls like mine, stick straight blondes, double processed -whatever. He's got years of experience in Detroit and Chicago salons. I trust a man who gets hired to do the models for Jil Sander's photo shoots. Want Oak Street ambiance with a great stylist at very reasonable prices? See James. Stat. You will NOT regret it.

Alessandra has been doing my brows for years, and she is professional and meticulous. I came to her…read morewith half of an eyebrow missing from my previous experience with a brow wax. Ale gave me a prescription to help my look while the eyebrow grew back as well as did her artistry on my eyebrows to ensure that they needed very little help as is. Within just a few months, my eyebrows were 100% back and gorgeous. Beautiful arch, full and lovely. Visiting Ale every 4-6 weeks is well worth your time and a trip to the city. There is a reason that she has been written up time and time again in Allure, InStyle, etc. Ale offers lash extensions as well, and I trust her so much now with brows that I would only go to her for lashes. She is brilliant and again, professional and meticulous. Now I just need a reason to get lash extensions! I have tried a few of Ale's line of beauty products - lip gloss (in Sabrina), brow pencil (in dark brown), brow gel. They are all awesome. I am not a lip gloss girl, but her gloss is not too sticky and reminds me of how NARS and Chanel gloss *used* to be and I get tons of compliments on the beautiful pink color. Ale books up quickly, so I try to pre-book my appointments before I leave. She is located in Exhale Spa, and Exhale handles appointment booking for her. You get a discount for pre-booking and you get a discount if you buy product at your appointment. They also offer packages. Worth it!

Sonia Roselli's studio has done hair/makeup for two of my friends' weddings, so when I got engaged,…read moreit was a no-brainer that I would use this place: I wanted the absolute best. I have to say, while I was ultimately pleased with the way things turned out in the end, my experience didn't go according to plan. First, my stylist (who was awesome overall) arrived almost half an hour late. I understand that her Uber broke down, but no one called to communicate this to me on the morning of the wedding, and I was FREAKING OUT and had to run around trying to track down someone from Sonia's salon, which I was finally able to do, but it was super stressful. Hair and makeup ultimately came out great, but initially when I looked at my hair in the mirror I was not at all pleased, as it looked NOTHING like the photos I had given my stylist for reference. As she had run late, I didn't say anything because there wasn't time to fix it. It's also true that I didn't do a trial, which could have helped, but for the huge amount of money I was already paying and the fact that my ceremony was a small Chicago elopement, it didn't seem worth the price ($195 PER SERVICE, so over $400 with tip). Also, throughout the time my stylist was working on me, I kept asking if we'd be done on schedule and she kept assuring that we would be, but she ended up running about half an hour over, so everything about my wedding was delayed by 30 minutes as a result, including the ceremony itself. Everything turned out well as I was pleased with the look once I put my dress on, but overall I was not happy with the way everything went down. For that high cost, I expected the highest possible customer service, which this place did not deliver.

Researching & trying to pick a great professional makeup & hair stylist for a wedding is a big task…read moreof its own. I've researched for hours trying to pick the best of the best, and I've had my share of MUA/hairstylists in the past who left my face looking raccoon-like & my hair in weird bouffant & frizz ball. I am very particular because if I'm going to commit to pay a pretty steep amount for trials & actual session, it had to be good. Couple of my gf's had their bridal makeup/hair from Sonia Roselli staff so I had some expectations. If I had any worries, Bridgit was quick to address them & offer her advice. (She was great!) pros: * communication with the Manager, Bridgit was great & she was quick to answer any questions, concerns, & was a big help with arranging the trials and rescheduling if necessary. * the two ladies I worked with were lovely & had a great personality. (Korena-hair & Sami-makeup) *korena: she gave me the look that I asked for. I probably would change up the 'do since it didn't flatter my face, but she was great. Cons :( * sigh...... Woah, the makeup. I really feel bad for saying anything because Sami is a doll. But that makeup was not good nor flattering. I was excited because she's a pro at lash extensions/falsies, but after our 2.5-3 hour session, I didn't care for the lashes. With my monolids, it's difficult to create the same dramatic look as others, but when I came home to a better & bright lighting, my mom & sisters reaction said it all. "Omg linda.... You look exhausted, what happened to your eyes ?!? " I proceeded to the bathroom & saw that all the taupe eyeshadow was smothered underneath my eyes. My family knows how much I love makeup & the look that I love, but they exclaimed that I cannot walk down the aisle looking like that. For my wedding, I want to look elegant, but fresh & beautiful. Sadly, the complete look wasn't executed to my expectations. Who knows ?? I may have a better chance with a different artist, but after that long session & talking to Bridgit about my woes, I think I'm going to move on.

The team was communicative, attentive, and genuinely warm - they took the time to understand the vision each of us had and delivered beautifully.

See attached image below: Anomalie Beauty Agency telling me how much of a "nightmare" it would be…read moreto be "running around looking for vendors when you're about to marry" before taking our deposit -- only to terminate our contract two months before our wedding. I have serious concerns regarding their review practices. They have 5 star reviews on almost every review website, which is why we hired them. However, after I was told my contract was being cancelled, an Anomalie Beauty Agency employee reached out and told me directly that customers are incentivized to leave reviews, and I have communications that I believe document review incentives. I am sharing what I was personally told and what my communications show. My experience throughout the booking process was that communication changed dramatically after they received our thousands of dollars deposit. Before booking, I was told I could reach out through their texting number "24/7" and they'd reply same day. After booking and paying, I was told responses could take 3-4 business days. As my wedding approached, I learned that my hair and makeup trials would be separate. I was simply trying to understand who was doing my hair, who was doing my makeup, and how I was supposed to schedule everything. In my experience, when I voiced my concerns and frustrations and asked for clarification, Anomalie emailed me stating that they had determined they were "no longer the appropriate service provider" for my wedding and terminated our contract effective immediately. Again: my wedding is two months away. I also attempted to speak by phone with Dani Samson, the COO, who emailed me they were terminating our contract. She would not take my phone calls and communication remained limited to email. In my opinion, a bride should be able to ask questions, clarify who her artists are, and express concerns about communication without being left wondering whether her vendor might terminate her services shortly before her wedding. Anomalie Beauty Agency still has not provided me with a reason for why they cancelled our contract just 2 months before my wedding. Instead, they made sure to point out: "As outlined in your agreement, Anomalie Beauty Agency reserves the right to discontinue services when we determine that the client relationship is no longer a suitable fit." For any bride considering hiring Anomalie, I think that language is important to be aware of. In my experience, our contract was cancelled two months before our wedding, leaving us to find replacement vendors, and I still have not been given a specific explanation as to why they determined our relationship was "no longer a suitable fit." I'm sharing my experience so other brides can make their own informed decisions before booking! Disclaimer: This post reflects my personal experience and opinions based on my interactions and communications with Anomalie Beauty Agency. Statements regarding my own experience are based on my recollection and the communications available to me. Any references to alleged business practices are identified as such and are not presented as independently verified facts beyond what I was personally told or what I believe my communications document. Nothing in this post is intended to state or imply facts beyond what I personally experienced or can substantiate. EDIT TO ADD: To clarify, I did not say Anomalie Beauty Agency requires clients to leave reviews. Anomalie's own response confirms that it offers an optional rewards program in which clients may receive "future-service rewards" for sharing a video testimonial or creating a social media post about their experience. In my opinion, offering a reward in exchange for testimonial or promotional content is an incentive. This is separate from my statement that I was personally told by an Anomalie employee that customers are incentivized to leave reviews.
