Planning for a wedding day is stressful enough, but when someone takes your money for a service and…read morethen ghosts you, that's just wrong. That is what Mindy Orsak (Gloss Beauty Boutique) did to me, and apparently other brides as well. She gladly took my deposit, and then failed to respond to my multiple email attempts, calls, and texts. DO NOT do business with this person.

For the first time ever, I love my color and the way my hair looks...and I have Mindy to thank for this! I recently used her for my own wedding day services. She spent all day with us, was as cool as a cucumber, and made us all look radiant. I highly recommend her for wedding and/or regular services.

I usually wear little to no makeup, and had concerns about looking too made up and clownish. She listened to my concerns and visions for my special day, and made me look like myself, but polished. I looked like the princess I always dreamed that I would, and many people commented about how natural I looked. I also have naturally curly hair that I was afraid would be too short to wrestle into an up do, but she pulled it off, maintaining my curls while creating a look like I have never had, and even in the heat of a Texas June, my hair and makeup stayed spectacular all day and night. She proved to be wonderfully flexible, as my logistic requests of her changed, and then changed again. She was punctual, professional, and I highly recommend her talents.

It is so worth it to have Crizen come to you on your wedding day!! What a hassle it was driving to salons and back to change, than to the wedding venue!

She did my hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup for my mother and bridesmaids. I gave some of the girls some flexibility to do a variety of styles for the big day and Crizen was able to transform everyone's hair into something beautiful that reflected everyone's personality. During our trial session I asked for a "sexy ponytail" which she did an awesome job on, but after spending too many hours on Pinterest, I changed my mind last minute - and she made it happen! Even with a variety of hair accessories! The makeup looked flawless for everyone, it was a hot and humid day and even after dancing and taking pictures outside, everyone still looked fresh like they just had it done. No melting faces! Thank you again Crizen!!! You're the absolute BEST! I've recommended her to all of my fellow friends that are looking for hair and makeup for any event!

I had a very subpar experience with Sarah for makeup. During the trial, I found the eyebrow makeup…read moreto be way too heavy handed and unnaturally square (looked drawn on), lip color was very off (muddy grayish-purple) and made me look like a corpse, the eyeliner was not refined and the blush was placed far too low on my face, resulting in a dragged, droopy look. In addition, sparkly blush (not matte) was used, and enhanced every pore on my cheeks. I submitted this feedback in the trial form, as I was told anything can be modified and that they would take my notes into account the day of. Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding, it became clear that none of the notes had been read or followed. The application felt very rushed, and the artist seemed stressed. The exact same makeup techniques as described above were used, and when I wanted to look at the mirror and asked for certain things (minimal brow makeup to avoid a harsh look, brighter lip color), I was met with resistance and frustration on the part of the artist ("just wait till the end, it will come together"). I waited till the end and, unfortunately, had the same outcome. I requested some of the eyebrow makeup be brushed off, but by that time the makeup had already been set with setting spray and was not really budging. Sparkly blush heavily placed low on cheeks again had the same drooping effect. Lip color was very dull and grayish, and I ended up adding some of my own berry lipstick to try and liven it up. Sadly, the wedding photos really amplified all the issues above. The makeup looked heavy handed and unrefined, I didn't feel quite like myself or comfortable in my skin, and I felt disappointed. I am sharing this in the hopes that it might help other brides-to-be: please choose your makeup artist or team carefully, and if something feels off in the trial, definitely go somewhere else- your feedback may never be taken into account.
