STAY FAR AWAY. We had Debony Salon do all our hair and makeup the day of my wedding on August 22nd, 2015. I had paid $250.00 to have Tabbatha (Debony's wedding coordinator), Debony (salon owner), and two other stylists come to our reception location in Fryeburg Maine. First let me start off by saying how terrible my highly encouraged trial was about a month before. I had traveled up to the salon in Jackson NH all the way from Boston MA (where I reside) during the week because that was the only time I could make my appointment. So to start I needed to take a day out of work to go up to NH to do this because it was so HIGHLY recommended by Tabatha. ANYWAYS, We had some major issues getting up there due to traffic and arrived at my appointment late. To make a long story short Debony did a half ass job on my makeup and barely touched my hair, and I was charged $205.00. Following my disaster of a trial I made a great amount of requests, and one of those requests being, wanting more time the day of the wedding because there were still a great amount of things that were not figured out since my trial was just basically a waste of a day and a large waste of money. Now to the day of the wedding. My entire bridal party, which included 4 girls, and then my mother, the grooms mother, and my grandmother had their hair and makeup done. Lets start with the makeup, or lack there of.
We had all requested airbrush makeup because we were told this was the best choice for full coverage, but we all had little to no coverage on our faces, and also no foundation of any type under our eyes. So we paid more money for makeup that gave us no coverage. Next onto the eye lashes, They charged us all $20 each to put on false eyelashes that were the worst brand of eye lashes that can be purchased from your local Walmart. My jaw dropped to the floor. And to top it all off they did the worst job in the world on applying the eye lashes. They glued the corner my the false eye lashes to my cousins real eyelashes, so when she removed the false eye lashes that evening she lost half of her real lashes. JUST A DISASTER. They applied little to no eye liner or mascara! How do you not apply mascara??? If you couldn't tell by now the makeup portion of our services were a disaster, each any every lady, including myself (the bride) had to fix and re-do our makeup once we were finished, and I am over the top upset since we all paid $95.00 each to have our makeup done. && to make matters worse they insisted that our makeup would stay on all day! Well once we were all done with the ceremony we had to go back to our reception site, to re-apply makeup before we could even continue with our professional photographs... I HAD LINES ON MY FACE! Next, the Hair. My mom had this crystal wrap she wanted to put in here hair, and the stylist who did her hair looked at it and was like well I don't know how this works! So we had to physically do it ourselves, and my mothers hair was very much a disaster. She's the mother of the bride! She has the right to look her absolute best. Instead I don't know what the hell they did to her hair, it looked NOTHING like her photo she requested. And that's another things, one of the girls showed the stylists a photo and the stylists replied (the salon owner), "Oh that's great I can definitely do that" and when she got done, it looked nothing like the photo. Debony did the same thing to me. My hair was a disaster as well, and she looked dumbfounded when I was changing it myself. Maybe the problem is we are all from the city, and we went to NH/ME and trusted that this salon could actually do our hair and makeup, and honestly we all could have done a MUCH better job. At the end of the day we basically all did our own makeup anyways, and my hair had no curl and was falling out the entire evening. What upsets me the most is the amount of money Debony's salon robbed us of for their low quality services. They arrived with an attitude, and didn't even say hi to me, the bride & the one who paid $250.00 to have them come to us. Then to make matters worse, Tabatha, the wedding coordinator, would remind everyone of the time every 30 mins, including saying to me that we had only 15 mins left before they had to go, AFTER I SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED MORE TIME FOLLOWING MY DISASTER OF A TRIAL. What do you mean you only have 15 more mins?????? We paid you to deliver a service, You therefore need to complete the service, I don't care what time it is!!!!!!!!! At weddings many things can go wrong, but when it starts as the first thing, and to the females when it comes to hair and makeup this is the LAST thing you want to go wrong or stress you out on the day of your wedding. So please please please take my advice and don't use Debony's Salon. read more
