When a friend recruited me last minute as a model for a shoot, a panic creeped up inside of me. I don't trust myself to do my own makeup, much less so when it comes to doing my hair (No seriously. I can barely put my hair in a ponytail). With that said, I was given less than 24 hours to find a makeup artist. Catherine had worked at my friend's wedding and was recommended to me with a raving review, so she was the first person I contacted. Her website contact form had a friendly note that encouraged people to call "if you just want that voice to voice experience," and so I did. What an experience it was!!! Catherine was warm, bubbly, and accommodating over the phone. I instantly felt at ease talking to her about the services I needed, and best of all - she was available wake up early and do my hair and makeup the next morning. I was so happy at that point that I could've given her 5 stars without even meeting her. But I waited on writing a review until after the shoot. ;) Everything went wonderfully the next morning and I can now vouch for her talent and lovely personality. We chatted the entire time and I was admiring myself for the rest of the day. Thank you Catherine for making a girl feel beautiful!!!

LGBTQ warning. I reached out to Brush Salon because I was looking for a new stylist closer to where…read moreI live. In my message, I specifically shared that I was looking for a queer/trans-friendly salon. I also explained that I have been a loyal client who has previously flown out of state to see my longtime stylist, but I was hoping to find someone local. I never received a response to my message, so I called. The person that answer confirmed the owner had received message and told me a person outside their salon would be a "better fit." I reached out to that person as well and received no response. Message received. The whole experience was disappointing and honestly painful. Looking for a new stylist as a queer/trans person already comes with a lot of anxiety around whether a space will actually be safe and welcoming. Sadly, this interactions let me know that my concerns were real. I can't speak to their intentions, but I can speak to the impact: I did not feel welcomed, wanted, or safe as a prospective LGBTQ client. I wish businesses could be more direct about who they aren't prepared to serve, because being quietly redirected elsewhere after explicitly asking for a queer/trans-friendly space feels awful.

I opted to look for a mobile hair and make up company that could come over to the house instead of risking her having a long wait at a mall makeup counter. Laurel was more than accommodating and was very flexible with my girl friends schedule. I don't know much about make up or hair but I do know that my girlfriend looked beautiful and was very happy with the finished product. Blush was a very professional agency and laurel was very focused on ensuring my girlfriend was satisfied with her hair and makeup before finishing. The evening was a great success, my girl friend was elated and I will definitely be using Blush again for any other pampering surprises for my girlfriend.
