Lisa was a wonderful Hair and Makeup artist for my big day! Super responsive and a joy to work…read morewith. I ran a trial with her for my courthouse wedding and she worked with all my concerns regarding makeup. I had switched to a updo for the actual day and that thing did not budge even with my excessive dancing! I tend to run oily after a full day of full face makeup, but I can guarantee that that didn't budge either! She's a full blown one woman army and accommodated not only hair and makeup for me and my mom, but also hair for 5 of my bridesmaids! Would love to work with her again!

She also works fast and listens to the client to provide what they want. I love the airbrush make up too. Everyone in our party was very happy with the results and The bride was over the moon. Lisa's 25 years of experience really came through. She brings everything to the appointment - all you have to do is show up unless you are adding special things to your hair like extensions. She communicates well and a lot which brings peace of mind - we were planning this wedding from out of state and Lisa made us feel very comfortable with the process. cost is clearly spelled out on her menu and contract and didn't change. I highly recommend her services.

Working with Michelle for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made when planning for my…read morespecial day! She is so communicative, flexible, hilarious, and overall just a joy to work with. As someone who generally doesn't wear very much makeup, I expressed that I wanted to still look like "myself" on my wedding day. After seeing countless photos from other artists who all seem to be putting the same makeup on each bride, I was a little nervous going into our trial. She captured my vision so beautifully, highlighting my features in a way that allowed me to still feel like me (but the best version!!). She was thoughtful and communicative throughout, and asked for feedback on the end result of the trial for any adjustments prior to the actual wedding. One of my favorite things about the trial was that she took photos to capture exactly what she had done the first time around. This meant that on the day of, she was ready to rock and roll with exactly what we wanted. It sounds like a small detail but ladies I cannot tell you how many other thoughts are going through your mind on THE DAY, so it was amazing to be able to show up and let her do her thing, knowing it would turn out exactly as planned. My bridal party was also SO impressed by her, and I got several compliments and "where did you find her, she's amazing" texts on the days following the event. A couple of the girls asked her for a bit more glam than I did, and she worked her magic flawlessly for their visions as well. Trust me when I say I think she can do literally anything. Do yourself a favor, work with her and see for yourself!

Both ladies make you feel instantly comfortable and listened to what I wanted for my special day!! Day of, they arrived early, were professional, and their whole team was fun and got along great with my friends and family!! If you have a big bridal party or a family that was hard to corral (like mine was haha,) Michelle has done SO many weddings that she was able to keep everyone on track in a kind but firm manner. I wanted to look extremely natural and didn't want the makeup or hair to stand out too much. Both Michelle and Stephanie listened and delivered. They also handled the hair and makeup for my family and friends too. Everyone was beautiful!

She's been a hair stylist for almost two decades, so she knows what she's doing. She does cuts, styles, coloring, and makeup.

I stop by this MAC Cosmetics store a couple times a year when I'm at the mall, especially this time…read moreof the year, when they always have a sale and special discount going on. The store is a small, stand-alone store but it carries pretty much everything I need. Only issue is, many times I stood around waiting and there's no one in the front of the store. After a while, someone would come out from the back to assist. When you do get someone to acknowledge and assist, then service is good.

Lupita provided a 5 star experience for me as she took the time and patience to apply a foundation on my skin that I was interested in. She is a great listener and matched my skin with the correct foundation perfectly. I am beyond thrilled with the way that this foundation looks on my skin! She also helped me with a concealer shade as well and I am so glad I came into the store rather than just doing an online purchase! Thanks Lupita!!

From the review photos I was a bit suspect of the products used (in many photos you can see flyaways / static looking hairs) and unfortunately my intuition was correct as my curls fell out within a few short hours later. If you get an employee who can execute the style curl you want and bring your own styling products I think you'll be ok coming here. The settling was clean and beautiful so that was nice.

Roya did my hair for my wedding earlier this year. My hair looked great for most of the day, and…read moreshe is clearly very talented. However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.
