I truly couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist than Vian for my wedding day…read more From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me look like the best version of myself. I told her early on that I prefer a very natural look and don't feel comfortable in heavy makeup -- and she absolutely delivered. My makeup felt light, effortless, and still completely me... just elevated. It was more beautiful than my daily look, but never overdone. I especially loved what she did with my eyes and lashes. They looked soft and natural, yet defined and stunning in photos. And my hair -- this was huge for me. I don't have a lot of hair and I didn't want to wear a wig on my wedding day. She respected that completely and somehow created beautiful, natural-looking volume that made me feel confident and radiant. I was honestly amazed at what she was able to do. She was also so open to feedback and small adjustments throughout the process, which made me feel really heard and comfortable. Beyond her talent, she's just a lovely person to have around on such an important day. Calm, experienced, and clearly passionate about what she does. Even her husband stopped by to help us pick up drinks that day -- it felt personal and supportive, not transactional. Having her there made my wedding morning feel relaxed and joyful. I'm so grateful I chose her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any bride looking for a natural, beautiful, and thoughtful approach.

This is a review purely for the bridal hair and makeup trial, have no experience with her in an…read moreactual wedding setting. The main reason I did not go forward with booking with her was because of the haphazard nature of the hair part of the trial. Vian did not part my hair, comb my hair, or use hairspray, and just draped the headpiece on instead of tying it to the hair. She told me the trial is to only get an "idea" of what the hair would look like and made me undo the hairstyle after getting pics so she could get the hair piece and pins back. I was pretty stunned because I paid almost double to include hair in the trial rather than just makeup, so I was expecting to get more than just an "idea", I wanted to see how the hairstyle would stay throughout the day. The end result was messy hair (attached a photo) and my sister who was watching commented after that she could have done a better job. In addition, Vian told me I needed to get a haircut for curtain bangs before the wedding in order for the hairstyle to work. This felt like an excuse, I'd expect her to work with the hair I have and make the best hairstyle possible, not fault me for it not looking good. Afterwards I had a hair and makeup trial with a different artist for the exact same price. At this one, I got a full hairstyle with combing, hairspray, pins that stayed on for the full day and I wasn't told that I needed to cut my hair, and it looked much better. I ended up proceeding with booking this person for the wedding instead. For the makeup, later that day I noticed that there was a smudge on my eyebrow. I checked photos and it was there in the very first photo my sister took of me after the trial was completed. I was surprised Vian didn't notice and fix this and this made me question her makeup skills as well. Style wise the makeup didn't match what I had on my Pinterest board that I showed her -- those had softer, lighter colors but I was given a darker, higher contrast look. To be fair, she asked what lip color I wanted and I told her she could choose because I didn't know (not experienced with makeup). However, the second makeup artist was so much more thorough -- she looked through my Pinterest board and asked things like, "these are all warm toned but this one is cool toned -- do you want warm or cool toned" and was able to distinguish what I liked from that, and I ended up with a look I was much happier with. Perhaps Vian would work better for someone who has a strong idea of what they're looking for, versus someone completely new to makeup (me).

Honestly, Bridal Beauty Agency and Stace's services were worth every penny and one of our best…read morewedding day investments. I'm Asian with thin hair and wanted Hollywood glam curls after a low bun. She delivered so well that my hair STILL looked full the morning after, with all the extensions taken out! She asked good questions and was really open to adjusting to my hair/makeup preferences. My wedding day had a tea ceremony, a western ceremony, and hair change for reception. Stace helped me achieve 3 different looks and they were all so special and beautiful! My makeup was flawless and glowing in all the right places. With both the trial and wedding, my skin felt so healthy the day after, no rashes or breakouts. And if you're a crier (I am), trust me, you need her to stay after for some makeup touchups (not just lipstick)! Beyond her talent and technical skills, she is truly a wonderful human being. She made me feel really taken care of during the day like a big sister. She was on-time, prepared for everything, and a super calming presence. I was late and stressed when I arrived in the morning, but she made up for the lost time and kept everything on schedule. She also did male grooming for my husband, and our two moms hairs, and she made everyone look SO good! My advice is to get the male grooming so your husband can look just as good as you! We all loved Stace. Katya from Bridal Beauty Agency was also very patient and kind to work with. Throughout our wedding planning, we threw some curveballs at her and asked a lot of questions, but she was super responsive, understanding, and professional. We cannot recommend BBA enough for the communication, professionalism, and quality of service on the most important day yet of our lives. Thank you!

I wish I could give 6 stars! Meghann created my wedding day hairstyle that exceeded all my…read moreexpectations. After an initial trial without my clip-in extensions (due to a color matching issue on my end), I requested a second trial for peace of mind. Meghann accommodated this request graciously, which gave me complete confidence heading into my wedding weekend. For my actual wedding day, I actually gasped when she handed me the mirror. My hair was exactly what I wanted. We were by the ocean (hello humidity!) and I literally danced all night long and my hair was still beautiful by the end of the night. Beyond her technical skill, Meghann's warm personality made our time together during both trials and the wedding day itself truly enjoyable. She also created the CUTEST hair for my flower girls, a timeless looks for my mom and mother in law. Bridal Beauty Agency is so professional, they are wonderful communicators, and will work with you, taking your notes & feedback, to make you feel your very best!! Couldn't recommend them more!

She spent 4 hours on my trial and tried two totally separate styles because I really couldn't decide how I wanted to do my hair. She listened to exactly what I wanted in terms of makeup and never made me feel pressured or anxious about it. I know that during the wedding planning process, I was a little unsure because her social media presence is less than some of her peers (and I wanted to see photos) - but seriously, do.not.worry. You are in the best of hands. My bridal party looked incredible thanks to Kat and her team - do yourself a favor and book them. And if Kat's skills weren't enough - wow, she is just a lovely human being. She is so calm and grounded and was just a wonderful person to spend time with. I can't recommend her enough.

She is so sweet--I actually forgot my veil at home and she offered to go get it for me (that's a 30 minute drive each way!) while we did our first look!! She did my hair and makeup, including the flower arrangement in my hair, put on my husband and his best man's bout and even zipped up my dress! I'm going to post a few photos because honestly, they speak for themselves--I couldn't be happier with how my hair and makeup looked that day! Thanks so much, Kat!

ABSOLUTELY THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY WEDDING. Cassandra and her team are the MOST unprofessional…read morepeople I've ever had to deal with. Her stylist was LATE TWICE and rescheduled once due to her lateness. The makeup was horrid. I sent the photos to my family and my bridal party who ALL said it looked NOTHING like me. When I expressed my concerns to the makeup artist and asked for a re-preview, she said I would need to PAY for another preview. I said I didn't feel I should need to pay for something I was unsatisfied with. I then contacted the owner to express my experience with her company, who called me and said things like "you have hardly any eyebrows to begin with, so what she did looked good" "I thought you had great coverage" "the eyelashes look fine" not once ever mentioning what an awful experience I had with the girl and not to mention the fact that she THEN said it was all my fault cause I moved. Oh sorry that it took you over two months to send me a contract from when I paid my deposit for your services, in which time I moved. I paid 200.00 for the worst experience of my life. When I told her I wanted a refund her response was "for services we provided?" I said, the preview is 150, I paid your company 312.00 her response "well 150 for the preview, 50 for the travel and I guess 100 was a deposit" I asked her to send me something in writing. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PERSON EVER. After I left this same review on several of her social media posts, she blocked me...only before she responded immaturely and told me I would NOT be receiving a refund. Don't be salty girl. It won't be your last horrible review.

She did an…read moreabsolutely wonderful job on my makeup, and everyone else in my bridal party, for that matter. I am EXTREMELY picky when it comes to makeup, so I was really nervous leaving it to someone I had never worked with. Coming from NYC, however, I had to find someone. The makeup artists my wedding planner worked with were already booked, so I went online, read reviews, and thankfully found Cassandra. She was accommodating, extremely professional, and really knows her stuff. She also has a very calm, competent demeanor which I especially appreciated on my wedding day. I can't say enough about Cassandra - I hope you're lucky enough to work with her!

I hired kendra in March for a December wedding. She charged me the full cost of service as a…read morenon-refundable which I now know is an unethical business practice. She books trials too close to the date, so when the trial went sideways, I had to add a to do to the busy planning, which wasn't ideal. Kendra seems to have a one size fits all approach to makeup, and she doesn't listen. She has a heavy handed approach to application (see her instagram). She is condescending and makes little snide comments that are little biting insults. When I mentioned that my eyebrows were way too dark and overdone, her response "eyebrows are a non-negotiable"... umm, wth is that about? Anyway, upon calling other artists, it seems that Kendra has quite the reputation with her peers. They've heard my story from other folks that have attempted to work with Kendra. Recently, Kendra has announced that she is "mostly" retiring from makeup application, but beware that she is still hiring out makeup artists under her KLS business. There are numerous other capable professionals in the area, and I would highly recommend looking to them if you have any interest in natural and flattering makeup. I gave kendra the opportunity to make this right with a partial refund, which she chose to ignore.

I had a trial for my hair and make up a month or so before the wedding and on the day it looked just as great! The girls brought images of what they wanted for hair and make-up and Kendra did a great job with that! We all got so many compliments on the make-up and everyone looked gorgeous thanks to Kendra. She is so talented and I am incredibly happy that I booked her for my wedding!

A friend recommended Maryam when I needed someone to do my makeup for my wedding at the last…read moreminute. Maryam switched her schedule around and met me early at her salon on a Saturday morning with just 5 days' notice. I don't wear much makeup or do much with my hair on a daily basis, so I wanted a fairly simple yet stunning look for my big day. Maryam was truly an artist, creating a flawless, romantic yet slightly sassy look that I could have never imagined. Her prices were totally reasonable (I expected to pay twice as much, especially at the last minute) and she is one of the nicest stylists I have ever worked with. If I ever need hair or makeup done again, I'm definitely going back to Maryam!

She told me where I should spend more, and where I didn't need to. She doesn't sell the products so no conflict there.

The stylist doing my makeup was so nice so I was hesitant to leave a review but I don't recommend Salon Maison if you want to have a modern or glam/sophisticated look. I suggest looking long and hard at the one star reviews. I was left looking like I was going to 90's prom and this is not an exaggeration - overly curled hair and very basic makeup. I felt like I had to micromanage the stylist and she asked few questions when we started about what I wanted. At one point I asked her to fix my eyeliner because it was smudged under my eye, so she fixed it and left another smudge while doing so. Her first attempt looked like it was drawn with crayon. I had sent them Pinterest boards prior and it looked nothing like it. Used really basic curling techniques I felt I could have done myself and many of the hair products were what I consider to be cheap drugstore brands - I was left with stiff, sad-looking hair with frizz. I wanted to cry when I saw it and deeply regretted not having just used my Airwrap and doing my makeup myself. My friend and I had to attempt to fix it ourselves. I think I had the worst hair in the room at my own wedding. Furthermore, shortly after writing a review, I received a cease & remove email from the salon threatening legal action and claiming false statements were made. I believe this shows a lot about the integrity of the company and am truly disappointed in my experience with them.
