I need to give Gel 500 stars!!…read more We needed a makeup artist for my son's wedding for family members. We traveled to Tacoma from San Diego. Gel was recommended by another artist I met at a bridal bizarre and I was a bit nervous as I hadn't spoken or met Gel. I reached out and we chatted. She's SO dang cute and what you see is what you get. She's reassuring, patient and kind. Above and beyond all that, that girl knows her stuff!! I told her we have a vast range of ages and looks- "No problem!" I perused her Insta and saw incredible work. And she had 6 of us to work on- I thought for sure we'd have to start the night before!! She arrived at 9 and I brought her up to the room. She worked on me first and then my daughter. I have "mature" skin (old) and she made me look like I was 40!!! Ok maybe 50 but I am 61. LOL. She made me look beautiful!!! She was in a groove just doing us one after the other. She sweet. Easy to talk to. We laughed about family and drama and weddings. By the time she left, it was like sitting around talking g with girlfriends. She did such a beautiful job on all of use. We did not look like carbon copies. She individualized each of our looks. I felt and looked amazing. Now remember-- I booked Gel sight unseen and I'm so happy fate brought her to us!! Thank you Gel for making us all look so beautiful and stunning!! We really enjoyed our time with you!!

I couldn't be any happier about them. They seriously dress up your whole face. Brenna is just the sweetest. Right when you walk into her establishment you are just greeted with the kindest human being ever. I would have to say she has the perfect personality for this type of establishment. You know the type of business where people have to be in your face. Thank you darling for the #upgrade.

Whenever I have told people my eyebrows are tattooed on, they say they would never known if I hadn't told them because they look so great!! At my aunt's 90th birthday, after dinner she wanted to know what brand lipstick I was using because it stayed on so well. I had to confess that I had lipliner tattooed, that was why I still had color after eating. I finally found a picture I like that shows my eyebrows! Hopefully I can post it with this review!!

Update: It thought I would update my review since it has…read morebeen a while and I have had more services done. Keri has changed what services she provides so please check out her website to see what is currently offered. Keri is still my go to girl! My brows are always on point. She is always looking to educate, expand, and improve on what she can offer her clients. Since my last review, I have had a lash lift done. I have bad year round allergies so my eyes are always crying and itchy so for me this was a great option instead of lash extensions. My natural lashes are black and long but they stick out straight so this service actually curls them up. It doesn't take long and it last at least 6-8 weeks for me. (This last time 12 weeks) It looks great with or without mascara. My daughter has brownish black hair. Her brows are lighter and she always has to draw them in. She has had her brows tinted many times and she is extremely pleased on how it looks and the times it saves her each morning. Quick and easy and inexpensive. Keri also has done (airbrush) full face make up on me and it looked super amazing and it didn't feel heavy on my face. I was grocery shopping before my date night and I felt amazing! She also did eye makeup for my picky teenanger for prom. She was super happy with how it turned out. Keri now offers permanent make up such as eyeliner and micro blading. I have seen her work and spoke with her other clients that I know and they are all pleased with the outcome. I decided to get my eye brows micro bladed and I absolutely love how my eyebrows look!! It really does make a big difference on how I look and feel about my self! Keri used a numbing cream and picked a great color for my brows. She will give you a handout with after care instructions. It is super simple. For best results NO scratching, picking, scrubbing, or using products on tattooed area etc. The end results look natural and I have gotten lots of compliments from strangers, as well as, questions like -what do you use to fill in your brows? After I was healed up, I did need a touch up in just a couple small spots. I just got them touched up that about a week ago and I am eagerly awaiting to be all healed! I highly recommend that you go see Keri for the services she offers.

Keri has been my esthetician for years and the longer I see her the more impressed I am with her!…read more She is friendly and professional and her prices are very reasonable. She does an amazing job shaping my brows every time I go in to have them waxed. I leave feeling more beautiful because of her work. I also see her for Brazilians and she does an excellent job. Recently I discovered I am highly allergic to some common ingredients in cosmetic and body care products. She was fast to respond to my requests for ingredient lists and worked with me over the course of several months to find and provide hypo-allergenic products so she could continue to provide me service. What can I say? I am a customer for life!!

I went in knowing what I wanted but was looking to be color matched. I guess I was expecting a more hands on staff willing to help and give advice. That wasn't the case, unfortunately. I quickly found the product I wanted and after looking over colors for a few minutes then went up to the front desk to ask for assistance. The woman was as nice as necessary, pointed out a few colors that she said looked like a match. No offer to swatch my face with the product testers on display. Not much else to add in her assistance. I took it from there and just picked a color I thought would work and checked out. I've since started ordering my products online.

The actual hair and makeup was beautiful, but you have to put up with terrible communication and…read moreunresponsiveness. I never received any kind of contract or final quote. I reached out to book my trial and didn't hear back for 2 months and only after reaching out more. I also didn't get a timeline until the day before including arrival times for the stylists. Then they texted me afternoon the day before my wedding asking me to pay in full (still no contract) and when I didn't see because I was at my rehearsal dinner they texted again saying I needed to pay promptly at 9am the day of my wedding. Luckily it all worked out but I was extremely anxious they were going to bail, especially because again I had absolutely nothing holding them to it besides a few texts. TL:DR- the stylists are awesome so I hope the company improve some of their administrative practices because as of now I would not recommend them to friends or family.

I am really disappointed with the professionalism of Pacific Artistry and Moda Organic Salon. I…read morereally wanted them to be as professional and as talented as their other clients describe them as. When I was ready to sign a contract to book both the trial run and the wedding day, they never got back to me with a contract. I contacted them twice about the contract and waited weeks between each email. I finally called the studio in an attempt to book the trial. The receptionist took my information and had the owner email me the booking site. The receptionist confirmed availability for my wedding date. I was disappointed when the trial was $50 more than what I was quoted on my original inquiry. When I checked into the salon, Moda Organic Salon - which is owned by the same person, I was greeted by chaos: loud music, kids running around, and no one at the receptionist desk. My appointment started 45 min late. My stylist, the owner, rushed through my hair styling and told me how busy she was. She even reported off that her daughter said, "I'm really good at swimming and you're really good at working." My hair style looked nothing like the pictures I provided. My bun didn't look full and the curls fell out of the bun after an hour of walking around. The airbrush makeup looked natural with the exception of blotchy areas on my cheeks, which she assured me it was from a gentle peel I did a few days before. Lacey had me email her all the details for my day of services and assured me that she'd send me a contract afterwards. I paid $250 for my trial, sent her all my details, and reached out multiple times about a contract. I never heard back from her. That's $250, about 2 hours in a salon, and 2 hours of commuting wasted over sub par service. Overall, the owner Pacific Artistry and Moda Organic Salon simply lacks the professionalism and communication skills any bride deserves. There are hundreds of wedding day styling artists out there and unfortunately some are unprofessional and some are scam artists... I really do feel like this company fits right in that category.

I've since moved to Kitsap Co. and called Diane hoping to get my first touch up appointment. She said, "Why did you wait so long to get a touch up?" As I just told her - I was busy moving. She adds, "I don't like following ups on other people's work so I'll have to charge you extra since you didn't have your brows done by me." That's fine but she started randomly making up pricing versus what was listed online. Many salons don't retouch someone else's work but she complain SO much instead of just saying it was against her policy. She continued to complain until I finally told her it's best if I go elsewhere. Why not be clear about your policies and pricing and NOT hint that eyebrows someone else did were botched? They weren't... at all. It's annoying when a salon or aesthetician acts like they're the only or best game in town. I would NEVER let someone so negative touch my eyebrows.
