I usually run away screaming whenever anyone suggests a makeup application - even if it's free…read more Why, you ask, would a beauty junky such as myself turn down a chance at some pampering? Well, if you've ever found yourself the blank canvas of some overzealous makeup artist who is convinced that everyone looks good with a smokey eye, you get where I'm coming from. That's the attitude I had when I was told that I'd be made up for a photo shoot I was a part of. Yikes! Luckily I had nothing to fear, because my makeup artist was Emily Aznavourian from Cheekadee, and she turned out to be a hell of a pro as well as a seriously cool lady. After she worked her magic on me, I looked pretty, well, pretty! Emily is the master of the natural, slightly glam look that made me look like me, only better. She also does a brisk business with bridal parties, too, so if you want a more polished, dressed up look, she's your girl. I still pledge my allegiance to the minimal look (Emily also introduced me to my #1 beauty product, Chanel's Inimitable Mascara) but if I ever need to get dolled up, I know exactly who to call.

Aja from Cheekadee did my makeup (and my Mom's and a few of my bridesmaids) for my wedding this…read morepast weekend. She was fantastic! Great to work with, and everyone's makeup looked great. Aja came to the house and set up in the kitchen which was perfect - we could all keep getting ready, chatting, and eating while she did her work. I was a little nervous about the amount of eyeliner going on when she was doing the first girl's makeup... but it turned out fantastically. Everyone's eyes really popped. And the fake eyelashes she did for a few of the girls and my Mom ($15 extra btw) looked totally real. You would never notice they had falsies on, and I couldn't stop thinking how amazing their eyes looked. Even my Dad didn't notice my Mom had anything different with her eyelashes (and they've been married almost 30 years)! My makeup stayed on all night too - and even the next day my eyes still looked really good. Nothing like waking up hungover and tired but still looking decent. I also did a trial a few weeks before hand with Aja at Cheekadee studio in Chestnut Hill. Well worth it. The first application of eye shadow she put on I thought was too dark for me, so she re-did it in much lighter shimmery tones which looked great. And then on the wedding day she remembered the switch and did a great shimmery eye shadow with dark liner (perfect). I would totally recommend Cheekadee and Aja to friends for wedding or special occasion makeup. P.S. Setting everything up with Abby at Cheekadee was a breeze and very professional (booking the appointment, setting me up with Aja, getting the contract, etc.). And definitely reasonable prices!

I came to her with somewhat neglected brows that were also suffering from microblading asymmetry. One was long, one was short, both were sparse - not cute! I wasn't expecting perfection but was hoping for a slight improvement. I found Tebee based on some online research...her studio looked nice and clean and her work looked really, really good. I reached out to her and she got back to me very quickly with a recommendation for microshading. I never had microshading but I was willing to go with her recommendation. From the moment I met Tebee I really liked her! She is super sweet, friendly, and most importantly, she is *amazing* at what she does! Her studio is super cute, comfortable and extremely clean. During my first session, she explained how microshading worked and that I would get more density while keeping a more natural look - this is exactly what I wanted. Tebee measured my brows so they would be symmetrical and she corrected all the imperfections along the way. On my second visit she corrected the coloring and left me with perfect brows! I would highly recommend Tebee and Grandeur Beauté Studio. She is so professional and lots of fun....we spent nearly five hours together during our two sessions and the time flew by! She is a perfectionist and truly cares about her quality of work and her customers' beauty/satisfaction. She is so great I'm going back for a lash lift. This is my brow place for life!

Despite the fact that she is still is listed as a stylist on the website, I got the nastiest response from the women who picked up the phone (Doris maybe?) about how it's been a LONGGG time since Lauren worked there. She then just sat on the phone and didn't say anything. Do you even care about return customers? Update- I stopped in awhile ago (After getting several more haircuts) to have my bangs trimmed. The website said it was $5 and the woman charged me $15. I casually pointed this out to her and she gave me a blank stare and said nothing even after I pulled up the website. So I paid her $15 and left, irked based on the customer service. After several follow up emails to the manager, I finally got a note back that said she would deduct the cost from my next haircut. Not impressed after this experience so won't go back. However, If Lauren ever started her own salon, I'd go there in a heartbeat. (Note the website now says Bang trims $5+) I got my hair highlighted for the first time ever last night. Lauren was absolutely amazing. I had no idea what colors I wanted and she intelligently guided me towards two different colors that I absolutely love. She also cut my hair beautifully after the color. More than that, everyone in the salon was so kind and welcoming. It was the best salon experience I've ever had. I will absolutely be going back.
