    My new do!

    I cannot say enough how great my experience was today! Kelly did my hair and was so patient and guiding as I went from my long comfort level hair to a really short style. She is crazy knowledgeable and skilled! I just loved her and the eclectic stylish shop. After I got home and digested that I had in fact gotten my hair cut off, I was wondering about tweaking a couple things. I messaged Kelly and she was so encouraging and willing to help me navigate this 'new do'. I've since played with it alittle and am just loving this hair! Thank you Kelly for the hand holding 101 with helping me embrace this as I move into a new chapter of my life.

    My current do!

    I started going here about a year ago when my hair had been DESTROYED by another salon. She's nurtured my hair back to health better than before. I got to go back recently and the place is immaculate. She's doing temp checks and keeping it as covid clean as possible. Go see Kelly for all your hair needs!

She knew exactly how to…read moredirect the shots based on what I told her I was looking for, and I wish I could have purchased every photo! She is so accepting and open, she made the experience even more than I imagined and pushed me to see the beauty in myself. I got to also enjoy getting my makeup and hair done and felt like a MODEL all day long--the whole experience was nothing less than absolutely fabulous!

    My first session with XOXO Alice was in 2018; it was purchased as a wedding gift for my husband. I…read morehad lost 100 pounds over the course of our relationship and was super nervous to have boudoir photos done because of how embarrassed I was by the loose skin that I had all over my body. I imagined options for outfits and poses would be very limited, and I would spend the whole time nervous as heck and hating myself. The super detailed instructions to prepare for the session were the first thing to set my mind at ease. I was glad to know I only had to personally bring SOME of the outfits I wanted to wear but that there was a full wardrobe of varying sizes waiting for me. I was greeted on the morning of the shoot by one of her kitty cats, which immediately made me feel more at ease. The conversation held between myself, Alecia, and the make-up artist that morning to determine the kind of photos we wanted to shoot was eye-opening and very information, though I felt like a shy newbie not having the answer on-hand when I showed up. Alecia used creative methods to get me the best shots possible and made me feel more at ease throughout the course of the day by cracking jokes to make me laugh and just have general conversation about shared interests (specifically pet birds). By the end of the day, I had come to love how my body was portrayed in a way I never knew was possible. The directions she gave throughout the shoot were kind and specific so that she got the exact bodily post and expression that she needed. My husband could not have been happier with the photos, and I will always cherish the self-esteem boost I left with. The second shoot I had was vastly different than my first. It took place in early 2022 while I was still scared witless about catching COVID-19. She had a process in place requiring each client to take a rapid test in their car prior to the session to confirm a negative result. This made me feel much safer considering she was the first person  outside my family and close friends that I would spend a day around maskless since the pandemic began.  Some relevant background information includes something that developed over the course of time since the initial photoshoot: this included the onset of chronic (nearly constant) pain in my neck, shoulders, and upper and lower back that is greatly flared by too much motion of my joints that were weakened by illness and major surgery recovery. I was nervous as all get-out to reach out to Alecia to see if I could request a session (via one of her model-calls on her Facebook page) thinking that I would be too hard to work with due to my physical limitations. Remembering how much I had to move or bend during the first session, I thought it would be impossible to have a similar experience again. My weak and painful body had driven me to hatred and depression because my body had all but given up on me. I had also put on a teensy bit of weight due to my inability to exercise. Alecia assured me that she could work with me to show me that my body wasn't to be hated and was confident that she could use feedback given by myself during the session to ensure she didn't cause an excess of pain. She ended up discussing my changing life situation while makeup and hair were being handled. Not only did she make me feel like a "normal" person regardless of my illnesses and pain, she made sure I knew that she saw me as no less of a woman or model. She did a lot of moving and shifting to accommodate my decreased abilities of motion and took my inability to stand for long periods of count all into ability when choosing the outfits and poses. We even made a sort of silly game out of taking water breaks since I am required to drink far more water than most people; she was sure to take a water break whenever I did and made sure I ate when I needed to. I was so shocked by the resulting images and felt like she helped me along the first step of accepting my new disability by taking myself for how I am and not just hating my own existence. I know this may seem like a little much to come out of a boudoir photography session, but she has a magical way of seeing everyone she photographs the way they need to be and deserve to be seen. I am already saving up for my next photo shoot! The first one was for my significant other, but all additional ones are purely for me!

Tara Lowery arrived at my church early, set up her table and professional wares and used her phone to play gospel music as she worked. This immediately set the atmosphere for my wedding party as we dressed - it was calm, God-centered, and comfortable. These are the little touches that matter but are hard to verbalize or place a price tag on. I am 100% satisfied with my wedding makeup! Indeed, Tara Lowery performed wonders and transformed me into a stunning bride. I do not wear make up often - and have only had my make up done professionally once before. I was utterly blown away by her talents! My makeup was flawless. Tara Lowery also did my mother and mother-in-laws makeup as well. Needless to say, it was beautiful. The experience, professionalism, and artistry of Tara Lowery is top notch. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to feel special on his/her big day.

I was looking for someone to come to my parents' house and do both my and my mom's make-up. She responded immediately, we discussed the timing and the added travel fee (which was more than reasonable and I was happy to pay to save me a trip). She arrived on time (she thought she was going to be a few minutes late and called a half hour before). She was so friendly, engaging and fun. She talked to both me and my mom to understand what we were wearing, what we wanted to emphasize, the colors we'd prefer and offered suggestions. My mom wanted a more natural look and Tara made her look absolutely beautiful! I wanted a smoky eye, contouring and false lashes which is more than I normally do. It was stunning. I didn't look too "made-up," the foundation (which is normally my biggest concern because it can look cakey) was flawless and natural. I loved the entire experience and threatened to fly her to San Francisco when I needed her. I would recommend Tara to anyone that wants to feel pampered, have impeccable make-up, and wants to feel immediately at ease. She's got a great sense of humor, too, and we had a lot of fun!

What I left with was a chemical war zone on my scalp and hair that looked like it had been through a haunted car wash. The stylist completely botched my color. It was patchy, uneven, and flat-out fried. I looked like a spaghetti squash that had been left out in the sun. Worse. I went back to give them a chance to fix it and it somehow got even worse. The stylist acted like they had never seen a toner in their life and honestly seemed like they were not in a sober state to be handling bleach or scissors or any other living creature for that matter. I ended up going to another salon just to undo the damage and they were horrified at what had been done to my hair. After spending over six hundred dollars and enduring two appointments from hell, my hair is still damaged beyond repair. Think straw with commitment issues. Do yourself a favor. If you value your hair, your time, or your dignity, run in the opposite direction. This place should come with a warning label and a fire extinguisher.
