I have had countless compliments on by brows since having them micro- bladed and as a busy Mom of two.... I absolutely love that I don't have to take the time to fill them in anymore. I can't wait to go back and get my lash line done. 100% recommend Courtney Beauty and Ink!!!!

Everything about my appointment with Courtney was professional and easy from start to finish…read more Her space was stylish, immaculate and comfortable, and my appointment started right on time. She began with discussing my ideal eyebrow shape and shade, then mapping it out. She discussed the process with me before beginning, and I felt at ease, and numbing cream kept me comfortable throughout my appointment. Courtney took her time- at no point did any detail seem rushed- and it's evident in the end results; she's a perfectionist and I am so pleased with my brows! In addition to my powder brows, she also gave me lash line enhancement, which really makes my eye color pop and adds to my "I woke up like this" vibe. I cannot recommend her enough!

Came here to buy into the Biologique Recherche product line after doing a lot of research myself…read more After I made my selections and Svetlana rang them up, the total seemed a little high and I asked to see the subtotal before paying. She said she could not do that, the system "wasn't set up that way" and I just had to pay and then see the receipt afterwards. I paid, then sure enough saw she added a $50 "consultation fee" just to buy product. It would be another thing if a consultation took place or even the fee disclosed; but for me to come and spend over $1,500 on product then have have a $50 surcharge snuck in for the "privilege" of shopping there is simply deceptive. Go to Penelope Beauty Bar at the Fairmont to buy the same BR products for the same price, and not feel like you're being taken for a ride. I know the economic environment is understandably causing hardship. I am more than happy to continue to support local business, just be up front about your fees instead of playing coy with hidden charges. Edit: They followed up and refunded the fee, saying it was charged in error. I appreciated the gesture.

The owner is unbelievable horrible at communication. I spent weeks trying to get a hold of her to…read moreset up day of timeline, and only heard back from her after messaging her on instagram a week before the wedding, coincidentally when final payment is due. During our trial, she said "ha, I'm always late, but it seems to work out" No kidding, we agreed on 8am start, she showed up at 922. Her second artist, her brother, showed up closer to 8, and was amazing, no complaint with him. I do not see how someone runs a business without answering any texts or emails. She posts on instagram all the time, so that's probably the best way to find her even after you are a paying client. There's a number on the website but even when you call it, it basically says they don't answer phones. It got to the point without any communication, my bridesmaids all brought their hair and makeup supplies because we weren't even sure Urbanista would show up at all. Not great vibes to an already stressful day. We would have rebooked and lost the deposit, but hard to find makeup artist less than 2 months before event. Would not recommend, added so much extra stress. They get 2 stars instead of 1, because her brother was amazing, and people did compliment on my makeup (which he did).

Please do not book this company for your wedding. It's taken me a few months to write this due to…read morethe overwhelming stress Hannah and her company caused on and leading up to my wedding. I booked Urbanista weddings back in Feb 2022 for my May 2023 wedding. At first Hannah was very attentive and personable, helping me with look ideas and booking. When I originally reached out to Hannah I was inquiring for May 13 2023 but finding out that was Mother's Day weekend we decided to move our wedding to May 20 2023. My contract was signed for May 20 2023. After signing the contract it was near impossible to get a hold of Hannah, schedule a trial, update the contract or get a timeline. Three weeks before the wedding on 4/27 I reached out to Hannah to set up a timeline for the day of my wedding. I heard back from Hannah's assistant and said that they would get back to me when they were back in town. I then followed back with them once they were back in town on 5/3, her assistant got back to me right away around confusion on the dates stating my contract and profile were scheduled for 5/13. Hearing this 17 days before the wedding put me in a spiral. I immediately wrote back to her assistant asking for more information and that the contract I have is for 5/20. I followed up 2 hours later after getting no response to see if anyone could get back to me. I followed up again 4 hours later after not hearing back from anyone asking for someone to please write me back and let me know what is happening. Having no response on if I was going to have a makeup artist for my wedding only got me more worried about what was happening and had me feeling like I had been ghosted by Hannah. Finally I received a phone call from Hannah 8 hours later. It was late so I called her back in the morning. We spoke on the phone and she apologized for the confusion, let me know it was a booking error by her previous assistant. She said she did have the date wrong and that they had the 13th booked for me instead of the 20th. She tried to reassure me that she would find makeup artists for the day and was working on fixing the problem. Because of the turmoil this caused me I asked Hannah if we can please cancel the contract. For not getting back to me in a timely manner and because I had this contact booked for over a year I felt like this was incredibly unprofessional. If I had not reached out to set up the timeline it's likely they would have shown up on the wrong date leaving me without anyone for my wedding day. When requesting a refund, Hannah refused to refund me saying she'd give me a 10% discount off only my service. Again, I let Hannah know how I didn't feel confident that she would secure new makeup artists and that I didn't want this stress leading up to my wedding day. I let Hannah know I am more than happy to pay for the trial and services already completed but I wanted out of the contract for services not provided. Hannah refused to refund me. I was so upset not only because I was out over 2k for paying them but I needed to find a new makeup artist in less than 3 weeks. Along with the stress this caused me leading up the wedding when I should be enjoying the time, instead I had to scramble to find someone available. I had to have my husband end up trying to resolve the issues because of the panic attack I had around the incident. Hannah was incredibly inflexible, mocked my mental illiness and was near impossible to get a hold of to find any solution. She never owned up to the mistake and instead gaslit me into saying I was overreacting to the situation. Mind you she never refunded me for the services she didn't provide. I'm writing this specifically so no one/bride should have to deal with this leading up to their wedding day. There are plenty of other makeup artists out there who can better serve you. The hassle and stress this company caused leading up to my day is something that took away from the month of my wedding. There are numerous reviews here that state they dealt with not being refunded and no one showing up on their wedding day.

Jayde is super sweet and awesome to chat with as I'm getting them done, she's also very mindful and understanding if I want to rest during my appointment. I've gone to a few other places before and could immediately tell she's a master of her craft by the techniques she uses, her eye for detail, and how I always feel super comfortable throughout the whole entire process. Because of all these things I've easily become a regular! Jayde also makes it really easy to change up my lash style. Generally I prefer subtle hybrid lashes, but for big events it's really easy to add more volume. I love how I get a ton of compliments around my lashes and the fact that they last so well l until my next session. I've also gotten a brow shaping service, the entire experience was painless and relaxing and I loved the end result! I highly recommend working with Jayde to help you look your best!

I am so grateful to have found Jen to do my hair and makeup on my big day! She was always…read moreprofessional but also SO fun to work with, and she made my wedding day prep completely stress-free. In addition, because I don't know much about hair/makeup, Jen was kind enough to help me choose accessories and point my look in the most flattering direction. The work she did was MILES better than what I received for my reception a month later. I've never looked so beautiful than on my wedding day, and it's all thanks to Jen, who is so talented. I cannot recommend her enough to soon-to-be brides everywhere!

I'm not even going to reply to her email at this time…read more Just let the masses know. I came here for my bridal hair and makeup after other not so great experiences with other salons already, she was listed on my photographers page so I thought she would be legit. After she completed my hair, which wasn't really what I had discussed, I advised her I didn't want a messy bun, more cleaner look, and apparently since I have brunette hair, she didn't even want to look at the blond hairstyles I pulled. I get that it's blonde and it's not going to look the same, but I wanted that simple style. What I got was a messy bun to one side, and she was tiring after that as well, I could tell. So when she started in makeup, oh my word... my 5 year old nephew, could have drawn a better eye liner line than she did. Which she told me she would do much better the day of... well isn't this what a trial is for? To make me look like I will day of?? I have health issues, which I explained to her. I didn't expect the end result, my fiancé had plans to go out that evening, but ended up cancelling because of how terrible I looked. Well, I tried to cancel. And oh boy, get slapped with a $500 bill for cancelling before 3 months prior to the wedding. It's almost a month and a half out, but I'm telling everyone she isn't worth the price I paid for that trial, let alone the $500 to cancel this. I have not seen this kind of contract with any location that I have dealt with and I will no longer be looking for this service after this experience. As a bride being charged a fee that's hidden in a contract, paying this woman for the day of service when she didn't do or listen to her client. No bride should ever experience what I have gone through and this woman should be utterly ashamed. Just like the last place I scolded for working my ass off to get a hold of them... no one is worth the time or money that I have experienced yet and this was so shocking, it's ripped my trust from all my vendors. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!! I already have so much to pay out for this and that on top of a cancellation fee, it's ridiculous... and this is clearly the only thing keeping her in business. No I do not recommend her and I will also be discussing this with my photographer about removing her from her site. Again, not a bridal service at all.

It breaks my heart to have to write this review…read more We had Karen Vogt do a test styling for my now wife a few months ago. Her quality, elegance, and taste were wonderful and we were so excited to have her expertise in our corner. Days before the wedding, we got the nightmare news. Someone in our party had come down with COVID. I immediately informed all of our guests and vendors because we really wanted to do the right thing. I respect her right to change her mind and not to be a part of our wedding if she's not comfortable with the risks. I know each of us handle COVID risk and comfort differently - that's not where she let us down. But she told us she wasn't doing our wedding now given the COVID diagnosis because she had plans for a future wedding. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt that that other wedding booked first, but that's me fighting for her and giving her every possibility. She didn't even have the heart to recommend an alternative or trusted friend, or even to suggest a place we might look on short notice to try to find an alternative. We had to scramble to make sure my wife even had a stylist for our wedding to the point friends were offering to do their best effort as amateurs! I don't work in a customer facing role, and in her shoes even I would have sincerely apologized things went the way they went and suggested a few places to look on short notice to try to make sure the couple had their best shot at finding an alternative. She knew what declining on short notice meant for us. Her behavior was deeply unprofessional, impersonal, and unconcerned with our outcomes, and I cannot recommend her. When contingencies come up, can you count on her to take ownership and have your back?
