A great on location experience!
I'm not originally from the Cleveland area, but was in town for a wedding. There were five of us who needed hair done for the day and we called on Shannon Michael Salon. I also needed my makeup done as I would be singing at the service, and they were willing to do that too! Not only that, but they were willing to come to our hotel in downtown Cleveland.
Ashley and Shannon arrived around 9 AM on the day of event - I had to leave for the church around 12:45 and the rest had to leave around 1:30. For five people, I was nervous that we would be pushing it on time...I was totally wrong! Not only were they professional and incredibly talented, but they were so speedy!!! 5 updos and 2 makeup applications done in just about 3 hours. Incredible!
Ashley was so professional with the hair styling, taking our concepts of what we wanted and bringing it to life in record time! For my mothers hair, she did the most beautiful French twist with the perfect amount of "oomph" at the top. For
me, the best side swept bun - again with enough body at the top that didn't make me look bald.
Shannon was a makeup wizard, using all MAC products and making my face appear flawless. I don't like a lot of makeup or a lot of eye shadow and she definitely made it look dramatic without using too much! And the best part was that it lasted all day through heat and sweat and dancing.
If you are looking for someone for your next event, either hair or makeup, this is the place to call! Plus they travel to where you are (within reason) so you don't have to worry about traveling on an important day! I wish they were closer to my hometown so I could hire them again for another event; if I find my way back to Cleveland, I would definitely use them for events in the future! read more
