As a previous reviewer, Meredith had mentioned, Candice does an ok job (from the one time I…read moreactually had a service- I had no time to assess what she was really like), but her interpersonal skills are lacking to say the least. And this, in the end makes such a HUGE difference. I also own my own business and have a degree in Marketing and Business Management. Customer Service can make or break a business. So no matter how "good" the product is, if your customer service skills are lacking, you'll lose in the end. As Vince Lombardi said, "It takes months to find a customer, seconds to lose one." And in this day and age where so much is word of mouth, it can be a millisecond when treated badly. In this small town, bad customer service severely hurts businesses. I went in to see Candice the first time a few weeks ago and she was a little cold when I walked in. It was all business. Not much eye contact. I thought it was strange considering it was my first time in. She did an ok job. She seemed rushed. But I wanted to give her another shot for a different service. I had a family emergency a few weeks before with someone in the hospital with a stroke and so I cancelled with her a little over 48 hours in advance and rushed to the hospital in AZ. She said, "Ok" on a text; no "so sorry to hear that" or, "When would you like to reschedule?" ....It was just, "Ok". So I had to reach out to her to reschedule later. No biggie. I just rescheduled. I did think it was weird though. It was like she was doing ME a huge favor. But it was the second time that I came in that really started the ball rolling in negative impact. I came through the door and Candice was in the back and she was in a flurry of emotions. She had a family emergency and was shaking and crying a little. Which I get! She said she just wanted to get out of there to be with her son who may have had covid. I could totally empathize having just gone through an emergency. She said she could still do it, but was shaking and kept saying, "I have no time to numb you!". I told her that family comes first and to please just attend to her son and we could reschedule. I had cleared my whole day for this, but I totally understood. She handed me a container of lidocaine and told me to numb my own face 40 minutes before coming in next time...um...ok...I've never numbed myself but...ok...I just was worried for her and her son. Little did I know that from hearing from others, that she has a temper in general. We confirmed a time for me to reschedule by text and I put it in my phone. Only, I put it in as a half an hour later by accident. So, there I was on the morning of my appointment, numbing my own face (with no instruction from her on how to do this exactly), and I get a text with her saying that she would not take any clients 10 minutes late. Hmmm...I realized my mistake and called her to ask if I could still come in (it was 15 minutes past at that point). She was so angry and said she was "annoyed" at me and said that she "wished me luck" in finding a new provider and no goodbye. Wow. So it seems to me that she slams her clients in there back-to-back and has them do their own numbing. It seemed so strange to me at the time, but now I understand because she books her clients back-to-back and doesn't waste her time numbing clients and has them do it themselves. Word to the wise, do not get on her bad side. She has zero empathy for you. She just wants your business. Too bad. I really wanted to give her another try.

She helped make my wedding day perfect. Thank you Marianna.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to give Cristine from Alter Ego Makeup a 1 star due to lack of…read morecommunication. Everything with Cristine started out great. Her pricing was reasonable and she seemed pretty friendly during phone/email conversations. When my wedding party finally decided on a destination to get ready for hair and make up, Cristine mentioned she didn't want to drive that far. Keep in mind, the destination was only 6 miles away from where we previously considered getting ready. I offered to increase my travel fee with her, and all was fine. Once we settled on the hotel I never heard back from her. She never returned my emails or phone calls, even to let me know she was no longer interested. I'm so glad this happened because it scared me to think of what could have happened on my wedding day. I'm so glad I went with Natalie Cusson, she was amazing.

Cristine was perfect for my wedding! She has a spunky and lively disposition which is perfect for a…read morebride who is excited about her makeup and her big day. She made a really sweet effort to get my daughters involved and comfortable during the trial. I was new to airbrush makeup and she's the only one in the area who does it which was a big plus too (especially because her rates were the best in town!) People told me my makeup had never looked better and the pictures really made my skin look flawless:) I was really glad we did a trial because we worked out some of the kinks that night so my big day would be perfect. What I learned during the trial that I would pass on as a tip is if you are more interested in what you look like in person rather than in pictures especially for day events just ask Christine to go lighter on the primer and airbrush,...she will be happy to do it! Also if you twitch make sure to go for the strip of fake eyelashes rather than the individual ones...I'm a twitcher and it made it hard on Cristine:( Last but not least, Cristine saved my bootie by getting me an AMAZING hair stylist at the very last moment during wedding season. I can honestly say that Deedee (I am almost sure her name was) made my hair look like a princess with natural flowers woven into a beautiful french braid that seriously held till the next morning. Deedee was a calming presence and even jumped in and started putting extra flowers in the whole wedding party's hair of her own accord when she was done with me...she was a total sweetheart and her and Cristine worked in perfect tandem which was a huge time saver!

I cannot speak highly enough of Sonia's skill, professionalism and calm demeanor. She was so complimentary to the good vibes that we had in my bridal suite. I chose to do the trial and I'm glad that I did. We were able to try out a look and finalize a few tweaks for the big day. Her pricing was super reasonable but don't let that fool you, she is just as good or better than those costing $700+ for application. Book her! You won't regret

I cannot say enough good things about Sonia and her incredible team at Tahoe Hair and Makeup. Sonia…read morehas been my go-to hair magician for over a decade - over ten years! I started going to her when I lived in Tahoe, and even after moving to the East Coast, I flew back across the country for FIVE straight years just so she could do my blonde highlights. That's how much I trust her - she's the only woman I've ever let touch my hair without hesitation! While I was definitely sad when Sonia transitioned out of doing regular hair appointments, I was beyond thrilled to have her be such a meaningful part of my wedding day. It felt full-circle in the most special way. Over the years, Sonia has become more than just my stylist, she's become a dear friend, and having her there with me on such a personal, emotional, and exciting day was truly priceless. Not only did she absolutely nail my wedding look (and my bridesmaids looked incredible!), but she also did the makeup for my best friend at her wedding several years ago - because once you meet Sonia, you recommend her to everyone. She's just that good. Sonia is affordable, professional, calming, hilarious, and genuinely one of the warmest people you could ever hope to spend your wedding morning with. If you're getting married in Tahoe and want hair and makeup done right - by someone you can trust, enjoy, and rely on 100%, Sonia is the only choice. I wouldn't have had anyone else by my side.

Sarah did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I LOVED everything! She got it exactly how I…read morewanted and even had a couple different ideas for my hair which I ended up loving more than my original idea (her suggestions worked much better with my hair length, she really knows her stuff)! She is very knowledgeable, so easy to talk to, and just an overall very nice person. When we were finished, she sent me with a touch up kit just in case. She even went out of her way to accommodate a potential time change in wedding time because of an unforeseen potential for rain at our outdoor venue (ended up having great weather anyway, but she still did everything possible to make it stress free). I highly recommended Sarah!

I went in for a trial run…read morea few weeks before my wedding with an idea of how I wanted my hair and Sarah was able to put it all together beautifully. She is very personable, friendly, and makes you feel very comfortable. She answered all my emails promptly and even emailed me two or three times before the wedding to confirm the details. The day of the wedding she showed up at my hotel room about 20 minutes early to set up. My hair is extremely long (to my lower back), thick, and does not hold a curl EVER. She brought all of the supplies needed to work with my hair type. My hair ended up even more beautiful then the trial run and even more beautiful then I could have imagined. The up-do and curls lasted ALL day and night without any issues. It was such a relief! She finished my hair around noon and I didn't take it out till about midnight that night and it still looked perfect. I got compliments all day and night on how beautiful it looked and how well it stayed in. I highly recommend Sarah!
