To be honest, I was a little jealous that their new location was getting so much love on their instagram. I felt like the first kid and the new baby was getting all the attention. I understand why! They picked the perfect spot to bring the aesthetic and vibes or GP, but make it Tampa. Alright, the important stuff. The hair. As expected, I got the perfect dry blowout. I love that they used the flat iron technique because it ensures longevity, especially on a warm day. I kid you not, I feel like a new woman when I leave GP. They always listen to what I want and I leave with the exact look I wanted. Waves with straight ends that make me look playful but polished. Can't wait to come back!

She started with luxurious skin prep, listened to feedback from my trial, and even adjusted the look after noticing my photographer's warm tones, such attention to detail! The final result was flawless yet natural: my skin looked like skin, and I still looked like me, just elevated. My family and friends were wowed. Natalia is a true artist with incredible kindness and intuition. I'm so grateful she was part of my wedding morning!

I purchased a $450 makeup lesson as a birthday gift for my girlfriend, who was genuinely excited…read moreabout doing an in-person lesson. I paid the full amount upfront, even though only a 50% deposit was required, because I wanted her gift completely taken care of. We realized two weeks before the scheduled lesson that it was actually virtual and immediately reached out to explain the honest mistake and request a refund. No lesson or service had been provided. I was told an in-person lesson would be $850, plus I would be responsible for her flight, hotel, meals/per diem, and travel expenses. I also found it confusing that her business is advertised on Yelp under a Tampa address, despite her not living in Tampa. Despite reaching out two weeks in advance, our refund was refused. What was supposed to be a special birthday gift has now left us out $450. After the way this was handled, we aren't even comfortable using the virtual lesson or transferable credit. There seemed to be zero compassion or flexibility for another person's honest mistake, even though no service had been performed. I understand businesses have policies, but I also believe there should be a human element to customer service. Unfortunately, that was completely missing from our experience.

I am beyond impressed by this establishment. I had never had a blowout before and I was sent here…read moreto prep for a photo shoot. I didn't know what I was communicating (tip: research blowout language before you get there! They don't have look books) and Sandy was extremely patient and non-judgmental. She could tell that I wasn't happy when we got started, and because she had time available, she made sure I left with exactly what I wanted. Day (I imagine I'm not spelling that correctly), my make up artist, was also extremely patient and did AMAZING work. I strongly recommend getting your hair and make up done for any kind of event you have coming up.

I have been meaning to visit Bubbles & Blowouts sooner, but I rarely get dressed up since "date…read morenight" is usually Netflix and take-out. Other than highlights and a haircut every 7-8 weeks I do not indulge in any salon services so it was such a treat to have my hair washed and styled by someone else. I love that Bubbles & Blowouts offers a childcare area if I cannot get my husband to watch our toddlers. After an exhausting Thanksgiving I decided that I could use a little pampering and treated myself to a blowout before our family Christmas pictures. I had heard great things about Bubbles & Blowouts from the Moms of South Tampa so I checked out the website and to see their hours and discovered I could book an appointment online. I really liked that I could book an appointment online instead of calling because I rarely get a minute to pick up the phone with my clingy one year old. Not only was I able to book my reservation quickly and quietly after I put my toddlers to bed, but I was also able to score a morning appointment before nap time! The location on South Dale Mabry is super convenient to my house and there was plenty of parking spots available. Loved the fun and modern decor and music. Did I mention the awesome childcare area?! The owner obviously gets that busy moms want to get pampered, but do not always have access to a babysitter. My stylist Dali was so sweet and friendly and did an amazing job with my hair! I decided to pay a little extra and added beach waves to my blowout. The result was so pretty and she added enough hairspray so that my hair still looked fabulous five hours later at our photoshoot!

She did my makeup (and my sister & niece as well) for my son's wedding which was outside in Florida- and I was terrified my makeup was going to melt off. She knew I was concerned about sweating & crying so she did her thing, and I have to say, that my makeup (including my lashes and my lipstick) did not need one touch up from 5pm to 11pm (with 2 hours of that being outside)!!! no mascara running, no lashes falling off, no foundation melting off. Of course, I sweated slightly - but I took some blotting tissue and that took care of it- but she took care to really matte my makeup, so it didn't affect the look. I'll also mention that I'm 51, my sister is 47, and my niece is 26- and we all looked great! The other thing I'll mention is her professionalism. She answered calls & texts promptly, showed up on time, and overall was extremely professional. If I need makeup done again, I would definitely go to her and I very much recommend her!!!

She is my go to for skincare help and EVERYTHING and anything involving my brows! She helped me pick the perfect shape brows for my face shape and has maintained them tirelessly. I had a random nail salon take a chunk out before I found her and somehow she fixed the impossible and gave me back my brows and then made them better than ever! She is a true perfectionist and is only happy when I am happy! And I am a perfectionist too, but I have never NOT been happy with her work! She is an artist, a goddess and an expert in her field! If Courtney isn't doing your eyebrows, do you even have eyebrows? Do yourself and your brows a favor and get her on your glam squad!!!!!

I stopped by MAC Cosmetics for Free Lipstick Day, and the experience was smooth and surprisingly…read morepleasant. I arrived about 10 minutes before the store opened and was the first one there. Just as they opened, one other person walked up, so no lines or crowds at all. I was greeted warmly by a friendly MAC associate who asked if I was looking to purchase anything. I let her know I had recently stocked up at another store, and without any pressure, she handed me a free MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick. No purchase, no email signup, no credit card required--just a quick, kind gesture that made my morning. Also worth noting: they currently have a lipstick sale going on--up to 40% off many shades, but it ends today, so now's the time to grab a few extras if you're a fan of their formulas. Big thanks to MAC for keeping it simple and generous. I'd absolutely go back and hope they continue doing events like this in the future!
