Candelaria Beauty should work on transparency and honesty with prospective clients. I submitted an…read moreinquiry to Candelaria about a month ago and received an immediate response and talked with Cassie the same day. At the time we spoke, she stated that other people had inquired about my date, but something should work (even going as far as to say that people with my wedding planner got some sort of preference). The phone call ended with her saying she would send me a proposal that evening. When the proposal did not come, I followed up one week later and received no response. Two weeks later, I received an email from Cassie saying that after our phone call she realized that she could not put together a team for me, followed by some boilerplate rhetoric about how she wants only people she knows that can fit my wedding needs to help me. This email honestly came too late. If there was any issue with availability that needs to be immediately communicated. The wedding industry can be complex and stressful. Especially, when it comes to ensuring availability of the vendors you want. Waiting this long to express an availability issue put me at a disadvantage for reaching out to other vendors (I have done so but after speaking with Candelaria they were my top pick and I wanted to wait for a proposal). This all comes after I expressed to Candelaria that scheduling makeup was my biggest wedding stressor. After this experience, their concern for their customers and interest in their "special day" rings hollow. From other reviews, this seems to be a common theme. This practice is unprofessional and hurts people. They seem really nice and like they are talented makeup artists. However, they need to work on their communication and transparency instead of stringing prospective clients along.

After filling out a long questionnaire online, I tried to get a quote over the phone after a 15…read moreminute phone call (originally scheduled for FOURTY FIVE MINUTES, but I didn't have that long to talk) and the person on the phone, while very nice, made me feel like she was trying to sell the service to me and wanted me to call back later to talk more. Like, I'm calling b/c I need the service (and I'm super busy right now) so you don't need to sell it to me. But I need to know how much you charge so I can compare it to other quotes I have. Bad business model, IMO. Sad b/c their photos look great.

TL; DR: Book Chaundra for both a great time and to look fabulous…read more Chaundra did my wedding look along with 10 others girls (she had 2 helpers) and they were amazing!! She was on time and finished on schedule. She is talented with both hair and makeup and was able to make me look fabulous without a makeup or hair trial.

She did an amazing job with everyone's different skin types and tones, and was just such a positive presence throughout the entire day. I did a trial with her beforehand, which I highly recommend! I originally thought I wanted full glam, but after the trial realized soft glam felt much more like me. I shared that feedback with Brianna and on the wedding day she absolutely nailed it. I felt beautiful while still feeling like myself! I also booked her for touch-ups, which I HIGHLY recommend. Not only did she make sure my makeup looked perfect all day, but she was carrying my bouquet, cheering us on, and was just so fun and supportive to have around. I truly can't recommend Brianna enough!

Her calming presence was exactly what I needed on such a special day. Brianna is incredibly talented at what she does, and it truly shows in her work. I felt beautiful, confident, and still very much like myself, which was so important to me. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond, providing me with extra product, a touch-up bag, and even sending a thoughtful thank-you note afterward. Those little touches show just how much she cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who is not only gifted in her craft but also genuinely kind and attentive, I can't recommend Brianna enough!

For the day of the wedding, she and her colleague did a big wedding party of 8 bridesmaids, mother of bride and groom, and a flower girl. Everyone was so happy with their work! We got married in Evergreen and were able to get ready in her salon. It was right next to a coffee shop so we could get caffeinated while getting ready for the day! It was such a fun experience and she was very efficient. We all felt so beautiful! Thank you Heather! PC: 42 at Vesper Photography

The salon itself was bright, filled with great energy, and overall very pleasing to the eye. Totally in love with the aesthetic and positive atmosphere of the salon! You can tell there is passion and care put into the place by not only the owner but the stylists too! The stylist are all very kind, very pretty, and they all present their business in a professional manner Before I came in, I told Toni what I wanted and she immediately replied with inspiration photos... they were exactly what I was looking for. I'm so happy because I let Toni express herself and her creativity and she came out with something beyond my high expectations! She was very informative on the product she used, and excited to fix my hair. I can't express enough how thankful I am for her patience with all of this hair! I'm so obsessed and happy with my hair cut, balayage, moisture treatment, everything. And I never trust anyone with my curly hair but I'm so happy I went for it and trusted her. I'm definitely going to be a returning client. Love, love, love Beauty Bee Salon

My experience with Pauline was grade A service. I asked her to do both junior daughters who would…read morebe in the wedding (one hair only, the other hair and make up, ages 11 and 13) and of course hair and make up for myself (the bride). She went above and beyond. I did the trial with the preteens and they went first, but when it was my turn they became antsy. I felt rushed and she also had another appointment after me. After a few days, she touched base to see how the make up wore throughout the day. I asked her for another trial and she happily agreed, this time without the kiddos. We were able to play around a bit more and get the make up part of it right. Then on my wedding day, she came on time, my daughters went first again. My mom was in the room and she's disabled with multiple sclerosis. She fell out of her chair because her walker that has a seat broke on her. Dear Pauline who was miraculously an at-home care provider in her last career, got her up off the ground safely with my groom who was there when it happened. Then she suggested Instacart to get a new chair delivered. (Who would think Instacart could do that??) Because of her, my mom's replacement walker came within the hour and a very big crisis had been adverted. On top of all that, my mom wanted to give her a cash tip, but she wouldn't take it. I know this is beyond the normal work for a hair and make up artist, but it meant so much on a day that was so important. If I could I would give her 10 stars.
