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.

I thought this was odd - I had to make the call? Anyway, I did and got an appointment with Diamond for Saturday. The salon is clean and parking is convenient. Diamond was on time, friendly and did a nice job on my hair. I will definitely be back to see her. Iit turns out that here is no salon manager and each hairdresser rents a space. That is the reason why they recommend calling your choice of hairdreser to make appointments.

Gina is a master lash stylist, one of the best (if not the best) in the city. I have seen her for…read moreover a year, and she has carried me from a more natural, classic look to full-drama volume lashes--including everything in between. She is a master of every style, and won't make you look too over-the-top (if that's not what you want) or too under understated (if that's not what you want); she hits the sweet spot every time. She is meticulous, efficient, thorough, and a true artist. Most importantly, my lashes have more staying power with Gina than with any stylist I've used in the past. She gets them on and they stay on! She has a gentle touch, and my eyes have never watered or been irritated during a fill -- she is truly at the top of her game. Go see her!

I serendipitously found Gina a little over a year ago when she was working for a different studio…read more She did my lashes for my wedding & I was beyond pleased with how they looked. She often had clients booked out so far & my schedule was so scattered that I could only see her intermittently. Then she left the studio & I quickly learned how amazing she truly is as a lash artist! I probably saw 6 different lash artists & was so unhappy with them that I seriously thought about getting rid of them altogether. If you've ever had eyelash extensions, you know how addicting they are, so wanting to call it quits was a big deal for me! My lashes are very short & very thin. Gina does an amazing job at making sure she doesn't apply too many or too long of lashes for my natural lashes. She cares about the health of my natural lashes & is careful to treat them well. Plus, the lashes she applies really last! I have a busy & unpredictable schedule, so only having to take time out of my life for an hour every three weeks really works for me! I'm constantly getting compliments about my lashes. The girls that do my facials see a lot of clients with lash extensions, and they always comment on how good they look, especially after three weeks (I usually schedule my facials right before a fill). I don't know what I'll do if Gina ever decides to stop doing lash extensions... I really don't think there's anyone else in Seattle that can do what she does. If you need lashes or a fill, go see her!

First off let me say that this is not a fancy spa environment, but if you are ok with that and like the home feeling of a family run salon like I do, its definitely worth the trip!! good cost and quality!! America is experienced with permanent makeup and she definitely knows what she is doing. Her and her daughter are so friendly and sweet! America was very warm and attentive and explained to me each step of what she was doing throughout the permanent make up process. I felt very comfortable and confident in her hands. First she applied a numbing agent to my brows before we waxed them to perfect the shape. I was all ready to go but she actually was the one who really wanted to take the time to be absolutely certain that my brows were perfect and uniform with each other. I've always had one a little higher than the other and she was able to fix it better than I have ever had before. When the wax was good then she filled it in with pencil as guidelines for the tattoo machine. Here came the hard part. Not the tattoo but the lidocaine injections. Not gonna lie- they hurt so bad!!! But America was absolutely right that while the sting was intense, it went away in less than 10 seconds. By the time all the injections were done and we had picked out the ink color that matched the best and was the most natural, that tattoo machine didnt bother me one bit! Even kind of tickled a little bit. WORTH IT! My brows healed just like the take home instructions said that America gave me. Now they are perfect and natural looking, I am so happy to not have to pencil them in every day anymore!! I will most definitely be returning to America at her salon to get my permanent eyeliner next :) She did a fantastic job, I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the price (which is a few hundred dollars less than other permanent makeup services I researched before deciding to go with America)
