***BUYER BEWARE: This "Ladies' Makeover Party" is actually a Mary Kay party.***…read more The more I think about my experience at the Glam Factory, the angrier I get about it. Did I have a terrible time? Not really, but we left feeling completely misled - nothing in our Living Social promotion even mention the words Mary Kay. Melissa has obviously found a resourceful way to sell her makeup, but virtually every part of her promotion is misleading and untrue. You are not being pampered - you are applying MK products yourself and there is one woman (no "team") applying eyes and lips, one person at a time. The "upscale boutique venue" is a business park near the airport. Aside from the deceptive nature of the event, I found Melissa to be super unprofessional in the way she conducts her business. I counted at least five times she brought up another customer's negative Yelp review and OMG how CRAZY they were. It made everyone feel pretty uncomfortable and for a business "owner and guru", you should know better than to trash talk other customers to your current ones. By the time we were finished (after Melissa tells us about the NEW and EXCITING products we can buy from Mary Kay!) it was already 10pm - we were so weirded out, tired and just plain over it that we ditched our plans to go out and everyone just went home to bed. Straight up - If I had known the true nature of the deal, I would not have attended -- as a woman I have been politely avoiding these parties my entire life. ...And those were free. ps: I uploaded a pic of the "goody bag filled with samples and one full-size beauty product." See for yourself.

Good stuff! -Everyone got a goodie bag at the end of the day: eye shadow & chocolate! -HIGHLIGHT: I liked how Melissa did not push us to buy any of the products we sampled. I was sort of dreading the end of the day because I thought there would be a whole speech about why we should buy the products. None whatsoever! -Difficult place to find! It's tucked away in a little apartment looking complex building in a very deserted area. -I wish the individual makeover was a little bit more informative. Melissa didn't really go over any techniques on how to do certain things I requested for (cat eyes) -The process of the makeovers would have been faster if there was another makeup artist. Melissa was the only person I saw working at the Glam Factory. -My face was super oily by the end of the night. The products we used was definitely not oil-free-enough for my face!

I highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a great HMU artist for their wedding!

Valerie embodies professionalism at its finest. Honestly, no matter what gets thrown at this woman,…read morewhatever hurdles or wedding hiccups, she smiles and problem solves on the spot. The morning of the wedding had some unanticipated scheduling delays and changes, but Valerie graciously accommodated us. She painstakingly took the effort to air brush us, pamper us, and circle back to ensure touch ups for hair and makeup were in place. Throughout the whole experience, she made us laugh and feel so at ease. I mean this wholeheartedly as my friend's MoH, I couldn't have gotten through that morning/afternoon without Valerie's kindness, unrelenting patience, and humor. Trust me when I say this woman's got an A-game because boy, did that makeup stay on throughout the tears at that wedding ceremony. I highly recommend Valerie's services and am so indebted to her for all that she did for my friend, the beautiful bride, and her mom. She has such a wide exposure and experience of working with different skin tones, complexions, and textures. You're the best! Thank you again so much!

They were nice and listened to my preferences, especially because I normally do not wear makeup.

She took the time to understand my vision and made thoughtful suggestions based on my outfits, jewelry, and the overall look I wanted for each event. She was also soooo patient with all of my questions throughout the planning process, from hair extensions and color to every little detail, and always made me feel reassured and excited. During our wedding weekend, Denise was amazing at keeping everything running smoothly despite our tight timeline. Even with multiple events and a busy schedule, she remained calm, organized, and positive, making the getting-ready experience feel fun and stress-free. I have never felt more beautiful than I did that weekend, and I've never received so many compliments. She brought my inspiration to life while making sure I still looked and felt like myself. My makeup and hair lasted through long events, countless photos, and lots of dancing, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Her entire team was just as wonderful. They did an amazing job with my mom, aunts, and bridesmaids, making sure everyone felt comfortable, listened to, and confident. I especially appreciated how they worked with my mom and aunts, taking the time to understand what they wanted while also offering thoughtful suggestions that made everyone feel their absolute best. I can't recommend Denise and her team enough and hope I can work with her again soon!!

Another mua unfortunately canceled on me last minute, which left me to scramble Yelp for a make up…read moreartist/studio. I was not disappointed when I stumbled upon Veronica's Blushy Studios. To begin she took my desperate plea and last minute same day appointment with pleasure. She gave me exactly what I wanted. I showed her a pic and it came out better. She works fast but very detailed oriented. During my time there her master class was in session. From time to time she'd give them pointers and lessons. But it wasn't distracting or took attention from you. I payed $65 and I absolutely think that is a bargain.

On Saturday 8/29 my niece had an appointment at 10AM for hair and make-up for her Quinceañera with…read moreVeronica. The day prior to her appointment her Mom kept calling her to confirm the appointment and location. She never responded to the calls. We didn't think much of it. The following day (Day of appointment) she kept calling her and never responded to the calls. I drove my niece to the salon it was closed. We waited inside the car until she answered my nieces call. She knew we were calling for "Ana" and admitted to "making a silly mistake and booking 2 people at the same time. She believed she was "working" on my niece the whole time. And said she didn't have the time to work on her. And referred her to her friends salon. Mind you we never informed her we were outside her salon. While we were on the phone she was walking to the salon holding a cup of Starbucks and was NOT with a client. She clearly booked a client and chose not to work on her. Knowing it was her Quinceañera a special moment for my niece. She easily took a deposit and was unprofessional with declining services for no reason. Please choose wisely. It seems it's NOT the first time she does this!
