If you want to look like your best self, go with Jaime and her team. I don't wear a lot of makeup…read morein my day to day, and sometimes I wear none at all, so I was a little nervous about having my makeup professionally done for my wedding. It was also really important to me that all my bridesmaids felt beautiful and satisfied with their makeup; my girls really run the gamut in melanin saturation. Some have Nigerian Heritage, some are Latina, and some are Western European descendants. I am happy to say that everyone's makeup turned out absolutely beautiful. Jaime and her team have a knack for really working with you to achieve the look that you want with just a little bit of direction. I also hired Jaime and her team to do hair, and they did an excellent job there as well. Go with Viva Voce Makeup and Hair, you won't regret it.

If I could give a million stars to Jaime, I would! When researching make up artists and hair…read morestylists for the Air Force ball, I was frustrated to see that most people were having mediocre experiences. Then I found Jaime. I reached out to her about a month or so before my event and luckily enough she was available! We hammered out the details of what I was searching for and the best part was that she came to me (all the way from Austin to San Antonio, which can be a traffic nightmare)! This made the stress of getting ready for the ball so much easier on me. Jaime always responded to my emails very quickly and on the day of the event, she arrived just when she said she would, and she did NOT disappoint. I have never felt as pretty as I did after my hair and make up were done. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and added her own flair to make me look just stunning. She's also super fun to talk to! I have never had an experience where I didn't need to wipe off most of what the make up artist slapped on my face, until now. My make up lasted through the evening, even in a warm ballroom, and my hair didn't fall until I was ready to take it down myself. I'd recommend Jaime to anyone who wants to feel especially beautiful on their special day. Definitely snatch her up if you can, you won't be disappointed.

Kim was absolutely incredible! Even my bridesmaids and family who also had their makeup done were very pleased. I wasn't a big fan of full falsies after my trial, and Kim brought me options and made sure I was happy with my lashes for my wedding day. She has a great way of finding out what someone likes about a look, and bringing that look to life. She was having car troubles the morning of my wedding, and that had me scared for a second!! But she ultimately made it, completed all the looks, and with time to spare. However, hair was not the same completely positive experience. I was happy with my hair as the bride, but unfortunately a lot of my bridesmaids hair was already falling after just being done. Some voiced their concerns, but our hair stylist ultimately was not receptive, and honestly seemed kind of annoyed with them. She packed up without offering touch ups and the girls were fixing each other's hair. We didn't even realize she'd left without covering netting from hair that had fallen, as I was actually in the makeup chair. I'm sure that it gets annoying with people asking for hairstyles that don't work with their hair, or expecting you to make it perfect, but people are paying a lot of money and know they'll be photographed. I think this stylist could go a long way just learning to politely redirect people if they're requesting a style that won't work with their hair. Most people aren't experts, and just want to look pretty and have a style that will last! None of my bridesmaids are picky or rude girls. Ultimately we were able to fix the styles that had fallen, re-curl, and re-spray. So, I'd say that all in all this was a very small negative part of a fantastic day, but obviously when you're paying $$$ for a wedding service and not being unreasonable- you expect a certain level of professionalism and attention to detail. Viva la glam promised that this work ethic would be extended to the bridal party- not just the bride- which was part of why I was initially inclined to book. I am hoping it was just an oversight/ off day for that stylist. I want to end on another positive note and say that Danielle was fabulous to work with and very professional! She was easy to contact and very responsive.

Sundays in Texas are nearly impossible for finding anywhere open, let alone a good stylist with appointments available! I found Monica on Yelp and saw that she was open. I was hesitant because she didn't have many reviews, but the reviews she did have were all five stars so I decided to give her a try. When I arrived, hiding my hair under a hat, I was desperate for a complete overhaul. She worked her magic with a blonde foil and pixie cut, and I couldn't have been happier with the result. I have continued to use her since and I intend on keeping her as long as I am living in San Antonio. I was so impressed by her that I sent my boyfriend to her to get his hair done. He has really thick, curly hair, and has not had an easy time finding anyone who can cut and style his hair the way that he likes. Needless to say, he loved what she did to his hair and will continue to use her as well. We are big fans and recommend you try her out!

I do not recommend hair by daff aka daffne rodriguez…read more I booked an appointment for a peekaboo style for my birthday on the 14th and communicated all details ahead of time. The initial appointment went well and I was happy with my hair overall, but I noticed afterward that my money piece was uneven. I reached out the very next day to get it fixed, but communication was extremely delayed. It took two days to get a response, and this pattern continued back and forth, making it difficult to schedule a correction. Despite this, we eventually agreed on a time. On the day of the follow-up appointment, I even offered to come earlier if she was available, but received no response. I still showed up early for my scheduled 3:30 appointment, texted to let her know I was there, and got no reply. After waiting over 15 minutes past my appointment time, calling, getting no response, and hearing her with another client, I left as she never acknowledged me. When I requested a partial refund due to the lack of communication and missed appointment, it was denied, and I was blamed for leaving as she expected me to wait even tho she never acknowledged me--even though I waited beyond a typical grace period and made multiple attempts to reach her. And she stated no mistakes were made on her end. Overall, the work itself was decent, but the communication and professionalism were very disappointing, especially when trying to resolve an issue. I would recommend improving response time and client communication.
