Lisa Marie was recommended to me by a previous colleague who was very active in the Niagara region…read morewedding industry and I later found out that they are personal friends instead of professional acquaintances. I had a terrible experience with Lisa Marie from our very first interactions, I received in correct price lists, contracts with errors on it including the spelling of my name. I found her to be scattered and disorganized and her extreme unresponsiveness throughout every single interaction I had with her leading up to the wedding, which made for a very difficult and unprofessional experience. A week before the wedding, after confirming the schedule two weeks prior, Lisa Marie decided to change the start time of the wedding day, requiring me to change my plans and communicate the new information to my guests. On the day of the wedding, she showed up at the wrong address in St. Catharines, when on my contract and during my trial we had talked extensively about the location I would be staying at in Niagara -on - the - Lake. This delay pushed us over 45 minutes behind schedule. I opted for airbrushed foundation on the day of the wedding and my face was streaked with two different colours, I had to immediately wash my face and do my own makeup in a rush due to the delayed time. She did not have any pictures of her own to reference from my trial and my hair looked nothing like we had discussed. She put so much product in my hair that it was weighed down and fell out quite quickly in an over-teased mess. You would think that as a small token to make up for all the stress she caused on the morning of my wedding that she would have extended complimentary eyelashes to me at least, but no, alas she still charged me the $20.00. The value of services received for the money I spent was so disappointing, I regret deeply contracting this vendor.

I have asked Pillar and Post Hotel and Spa to please remove Lisa from Bridal Beauty from their…read morerecommended lists. I had a very poor experience with Lisa who I payed to do my hair and makeup for the trial and wedding. Lisa did a good job on my hair and makeup, however email communication with her was incredibly difficult as it would take her long amounts of time to respond to me and when she did respond, she would not have answered my question. Lisa said that she had an accountant, but the amounts on invoices were always incorrect and I needed to have the invoice corrected multiple times. On my wedding day, Lisa made me cry as she was very rude. My bridesmaids and I had already payed Lisa for additional add-ons like airbrushing, however she gave me a very hard time about hot blow drying my hair the morning of the wedding, and tried to charge me additional costs that were not mentioned before. The two additional hair and makeup artists that Lisa brought with her to the wedding to work on my bridesmaids hair and makeup were lovely, and I wish that this review would not reflect badly upon them. Lisa had been recommended to me by Lorraine Rutledge from Pillar and Post.

I cannot say enough great things about Barbara. I had a destination wedding at Niagara Falls and I…read moredid a lot of planning long distance by myself, so unfortunately looking for a makeup/hair artist was further down on my to do list. To give you an idea on how crunch my time was, I flew into Buffalo Wednesday evening and drove to Niagara Falls, ON on Thursday to see the venue and to meet up with our wedding photographer for the first time. My wedding photographer gave me two of his trusted contacts and I contacted them immediately that Thursday. I wasn't able to get a hold of anyone but left my contact number. When I haven't heard from anyone Friday morning I started researching for makeup artists nearby. Luckily I found Dollface, and they had great google reviews from previous clients and it was nearby! I looked on their website and was pleasantly surprised to see VERY VERY reasonable prices listed. I hate how a lot of other hair/makeup places never list their prices and forces you to call for pricing. I base my decisions on pictures and other client's reviews, so I don't need to speak with sales people to try to convince to pick them. Planning a wedding is stressful already and I don't like having to make frivolous unnecessary calls when prices could easily be listed. I was up super early at 7am so I didn't call but left a message on their website and was planning on calling when they open. To my surprise, Barbara called me within the hour said she can squeeze me in Saturday morning before her other appointments. Jackpot! I realize that I am very very lucky to book an appointment the day before my wedding. Barbara sent me a confirmation email with detailed instructions on how to get to her salon and pricing details again. Very professional! I was able to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. Saturday morning...THE DAY! My sister and I arrived 15 minutes early and Barbara was ready to go! She was very pleasant and easy to talk to and I didn't feel uncomfortable to voice my likes or dislikes. Being from Asian decent I have tiny eyes and my one big request is that I wanted her to make my eyes big and she delivered! A lot of my Asian friends tend to go to other Asian artist for makeup because unlike Caucasian features, over applying eye shadow and eye liner can actually make the eyes look smaller. Barbara did a fantastic job balancing where the eye shadow needs to be darker and where it needs to be lightened to enhance my eyes. Not to mentioned, she if one of the few artists that I found who uses airbrush makeup! Airbrush makeup is a must have! It lasts ALL DAY LONG! My skin is weird, where in the early morning it is dry but by the afternoon and late evening my T-zone is super oily. With airbrush makeup, all I needed to do was dab away the oil and I'm good to go! Candace the hair stylist arrived an hour later and did my hair. She was very funny and easy to speak to as well. I showed her a photo of what I wanted (loose curls swooped to the side) and she got started right away. Barbara was there and gave her opinion and pointed out loose curl that needed to be pinned up. I felt very grateful that both Candace and Barbara were there to make my vision come true but they also provided their expert opinion on what would look better. I would absolutely recommend Dollface to any other procrastinating bride out there :D

She responded to my inquiry right away and as we continued to iron out the details, she was always prompt to respond to any questions I had. The estimate she provided was clearly written and professional and I felt comfortable that I was dealing with someone who was running their business the right away. About 10 days prior to my event, Kayleigh contacted me to confirm the date and time for her to come to my home to do my makeup. She arrived on time, with an extensive variety of products. She asked me lots of questions about the look that I wanted and took the time to listen to my ideas, questions and concerns. While applying my makeup, she stopped often to show me her progress and to make sure I was happy with the result. My makeup turned out extremely well and I was very pleased. Kayleigh is very professional and a skilled makeup artist who listens to her clients and gives them the results they desire. I would not hesitate to call on her to do my makeup again or recommend her to friends.

I…read moreconsider myself a very good 'makeup applier' as it is so it's rare for me to let anyone else touch my face. After some persuasion, I agreed to have a makeover done during one of the 'ladies' nights' that a friend of mine had organized. Rachel Renna was the makeup artist that they had hired for the evening. It didn't take long for me to figure out that Rachel is no ordinary makeup artist. She is the next big thing (mark my words). She is one of the most talented artists I have ever come across, and that's including all the encounters I've had with makeup artists throughout my TV career. The thing about Rachel is that she just 'gets' her clients' style. She had one look at me and knew exactly what I would love and what I would hate. Above and beyond that, she handles a brush like no one I've met before. The way she builds, the way she blends, the way she shapes brows... OH MY! The truth is, my words cannot do Rachel's talent justice. She is the best there is when it comes to makeup artistry (I've attached the pictures to prove it) and it wont be long before she becomes an industry leader. You better get in on this while you still can because now that the word is officially out, her waiting list just got a helluvah lot longer.

Instead of the polished, bridal-ready look I expected, the result looked more like amateur work. My skin was dry, lips felt awful and messy, my contour was orange and nothing blended. They did not do anything that I asked for. I asked for pinks and blush and highlight on my cheeks and there was none of that. The hair was also done very poorly as she did it in 10 min. My head piece was not secured and nothing was done to give me volume I felt like I had a child's hairstyle not bridal. For the price and the way the services were presented, I was expecting a much higher standard. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company for bridal hair and makeup based on my experience with the trial alone.

I was surprised after having worked with her that she was available. Most of the time professionals with her work ethic, and results are booked months/years in advance. Maria transformed me from a girl next door, to a bridal dream. She listened to what I wanted. She worked with me and even liaised with the photographer who was very involved in crafting our look. Maria was able to work with me, my two brides maids, two mothers (mine and mother in-law), JR bridesmaid and two grandmothers. Maria brought with her another professional make-up artist who was very very good also and I was thrilled she took charge of the planning and had everyone done within our timeline the day of. Having not had time to do a trial for either hair or make up was a bit scary (Like I said we planned our wedding fast), but I was absolutely put at easy as soon as I meet Maria in person. I would recommend Maria to anyone who wants to look amazing on their wedding day and have someone come into their hotel/house/venue to help prep them for their day. Maria's services were professional, convenient, pleasant, and to top it off fairly priced. I was given the recommendation to contact Maria by our Officiant. I feel blessed and even more lucky to have been able to hire her for our wedding day. Beyond all that I have included Maria is absolutely sweet, pleasant and funny. I wish I lived locally so we could get an opportunity (or create one) to work together again.
