Here's the thing. You get what you pay for but this business is not transparent at all when it…read morecomes to pricing, what you're getting, and what a 'completed' look is. And terrible service and communication overall. I'm kicking myself in the boots for not going with a more up to date make up & hair artist thinking I was going to get a decent experience here for a cheaper price, and then ended up paying more than a skilled makeup and hair place. First, I asked for Hollywood waves over email. The email came back saying my pictures were glam waves, so I said sure I'll do glam waves. When my hair was 'finished' curling, the front of the hair was not styled at all so I asked for more curls in the front. That ended up being a '2nd style' (at check out mind you, not during) ~ and then she proceeds to tell me 'this is Hollywood waves, not glam waves' Second, the make up artist Leslie, kept asking me what kind of look I wanted so I gave her exact instructions of what I liked. When we got to the bottom of the eyes, she just put dark colors everywhere and I looked ghoulish- I asked her to brighten it up and she asked for a picture. So I pull up a picture of a Vietnamese bride, and immediately she looks at it and says 'that's Korean make up. You need to go look for a Korean Make up artist'. I was so shocked by that comment I wanted to leave then and there but wanted to still finish the trial I signed up for. This ended up being $500 because they're calling me asking for her to complete the look, two different make up and two hair styles. I asked for the bottom part of the eyes to be brightened so that was a second make up look, and asking to style the front of the hair was called a second hair look... which all happened through the way she went about asking random questions as she's doing the make up and hair during the appointment vs. having a holistic conversation up front in the beginning. I just feel so bamboozled. Also the chairs they have you sitting is extremely uncomfortable with a low back- I honestly can't believe I was charged more to sit there and go through this experience. My back hurt for the next few days. I reached out to the business for clarification and they just simply said I got two hair looks and two make up looks, except I don't have two finished looks anywhere but just one of each. No pictures of two separate looks as they were not finished. I should have said I am not paying that then and there but I was so tired I had no energy to argue, and had to go to another meeting next. I can't recommend a business that 1) is not clear about their policy -- they need to tell you ahead of time 'if you're asking me to add this color to the bottom of your eyes, I'm going to charge another $100 for this look' instead of asking for feed back for every single thing (I'm not the makeup artist here!). I gave one feedback throughout the session and that ended up being a 'second look' and 2) immediately classifies something as 'Korean makeup' because I show a picture of an Asian woman, and tells me to go find a Korean make up artist.

I've scheduled with Backstage twice for photoshoots. Each time, the scheduling as easy and…read morecommunication was efficient. When I arrived, Leslie made certain she cleansed my skin each and every time - because the best makeup looks start with cleansed skin as the foundation. She asked to see what colors I was wearing for my photoshoots and let me know what eyeshadows, blushes and lip colors could bring everything together. Consultation and makeup application all done in one hour and the final results were fabulous. I'll schedule with them in the future. Each time, my makeup lasted the ENTIRE day. I absolutely loved each look so much that I did not want to wash my face before I went to bed!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. We hired chromacreatiosn(Amber Makhani) for a wedding and reception in Dallas…read moreto do the groom's mom's makeup, because our planner recommended her. She was good until you gave the money for the deposit. After that she would not communicate and was extremely rude. The mom asked her 2 questions on text about what extensions to buy and ideas for her hair. Amber first refused to answer her questions and said to send the questions thru the bride or planner very rudely. How hard is it to answer simple questions and talk directly the mom. The planner also made this clear to her that these are simple questions and 1 call or even basic texts would clear the questions. She was so rude and bad we had to hire another makeup artist 2 weeks before the event and eat the $330 deposit she requested. She refused to give us the deposit back even though she would not communicate with her client. DO NOT HIRE HER if you want a stress free event. She is rude and unprofessional especially for how much she charges.

She also uses enough coverage to make it look good in pictures and videos. I don't think I'll ever go to anyone else.

For my trial make up, she recommended that I bring a photo of myself with my own make up on, so that she can make me look like a more beautiful version of myself. In the past, whenever I've gotten my make up done elsewhere, I never really liked it because it just didn't look like me. It was a version of what someone else thinks I should look like. Also, because I have single eyelids, most other make up artists didn't know how to deal with that. With Nora I LOVED my make up and I can't stop looking at myself in mirror. She is a true professional, and knew exactly where to set up shop. She made me feel at ease on an otherwise hectic day, and gave me tips on how to keep my make up for the rest of the day. Ann uses high quality professional make up that lasts the entire day. I didn't even have to do any touch up, she's that good. I can't thank Nora enough, for making my day. If you're still reading this review, I highly recommend you book her now before it's too late!
