My stylist was Bizzy and she was such a cool person to talk to, it was never boring and she made sure i was comfortable. My hair was already colored and orangy so she made it more of a cool tone and blended it at the top. Im super happy with the color and would probably go back again. She also went with her instincts for what product to put in my hair and what colors should tone my hair. Definitely a cute place in the corner

Bad experience…read more... At this point I'm not sure who to blame for the terrible die job I got done, me or the "stylist" Mike. First let me start off by explaining my apprehensions right from the beginning. He was late. When I got there he wasn't there. He ended up being about 10 mins late in total. When he arrived he didn't visually appear to look like he was a hairdresser. He dressed very 'bummish'. Making me question his skill right from his first appearance. There is something to be said about DRESSING THE PART!! I was also a new client and I was looking for a hair trim and I wanted to lift my virgin natural hair colour up 2 levels to achieve a more blonder brighter look. Sounds easy right? What could possibly go wrong? After he arrived late, I was seated in the salon chair and went on to tell him about the history of my hair. He vigorously was nodding his head and saying "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah". Like he was agreeing or showing me he was understanding or something. That concerned me too. *Anybody who answers like that are only convincing themselves*. He then went on to tell me about hair colour theory and was telling me more information than I cared to know. What I mean by that is, I want to know what the stylist is doing but I not there to get a hair colour lecture. If you can do the job, then do it. Inside me, my conscience was telling me to walk away. I wanted to too, but I also did not want to be prejudice against this guy who was late and looked like a bum. Sounds stupid but I wanted to give him a chance! Ok so at this point after I had felt Mike and I were on the same page (somewhat) I gave him the go ahead to start the process. So he goes and mixes up the #5 and my natural hair was a #7. Not too much of an increase. When he starts applying he starts AT THE ROOTS!!! What do you think happened? Yes my hair ended up looking cheap fake yellow at the roots and light auburn at the bottom! Isn't it a cardinal rule somewhere to NEVER EVER start at the roots when increasing colour!!!? Who does that!!? Anyways, 5 hours later (!!!!!!) I ended up with EMBARRASSING hair colour! It looked like a cheap box die job!! No lie!!! I actually had to wear a hat the next day it was soo bad. The worst part about all this is, is how much it costed $220!!! Like blow me!!! And what took so long!!? Why did it take 5 hours to die hair!!!? Clearly he didn't know what he was doing. I had to leave the colour in for 50 mins! Thats a lot!! There were so many things wrong with this experience I beyond pissed. To fix the job that Mike had done I actually went into London drugs and bought a box die that matched my natural colour and coloured right over top of the $220 I had just spent for him to ruin it!!!! And you know what!? It looked good when I was done! The moral of the story is GETTING HAIR DIED AT THE STYLIST IS A RIP OFF!! I WILL RUIN MY OWN HAIR FROM NOW ON!!! PS- If your reading this Mike, alien abductions, dead nuns and contacting different dimensions is NOT an appropriate conversion in a professional setting. Especially for first timers. Get a grip.

I was thrilled with the makeup and hair services that I received from Mink for my recent wedding…read more My makeup artist was Tracey, who went above and beyond to make sure that everything looked perfect! During the trial she was very detailed and took lots of time to make sure that I was happy with the final look, and on the wedding day the whole team that came (we had a large bridal party, and Mink will provide more assistants to the main artist to make sure that you finish on time) was fantastic. What was important for me too was that everyone had very good hygiene standards when doing our makeup, so nobody was worried about cold sores or breaking out from contaminated product. Everyone's hair and makeup held up and we were done very efficiently. Pictures turned out great!! I'd definitely recommend Mink to anyone looking for a mobile hair/makeup service for their wedding party.

I booked Purple Haze Artistry for my wedding in May 2013. I had arranged to meet wih Gurv in…read moreOctober of 2012, and she required $800 for my deposit to secure my day and made me sign a contract. In November 2012, without any notice my mother became very ill and required emergency heart surgery. It was then decided that my wedding would have to be postponed to a later date. I contacted Gurv almost immediately, within the next month and explained my situation - almost 5 months before my wedding. She stated that once my fiancé and I had figured out a new date, to contact her. When that time came, Gurv refused to credit me any of my deposit! I had contacted her before that also to try and use this $800 for a nonbridal event, and she continued to refuse. When my husband and I began planning our destination wedding, I contacted her again hoping that my hard earned $800 wasn't entirely lost, and asked what her service charge was for flying her over to the location. Again, the deposit was completely voided and ignored, as if I gave her nothing, and she said she would charge flight, hotel, her makeup service charge for her and her colleague and would require ANOTHER deposit! She stated that I had a signed a contract, and the deposit was non refundable. Despite giving her ample time and told her months before, she sated "she had to turn away so many clients for that day" and she will be keeping the deposit. She had absolutely no sympathy or empathy for my situation - and instead put her contract before any morals or feelings for a client. I am now married, and booked a different makeup aritist for my wedding events. When I explained to her what Gurv, and purple haze artistry had done to me during a very stressful time, she said that if it were her, she would have given me a credit to use for a wedding event or non bridal event. Instead I had paid Gurv for work she did not do. For brides planning your upcoming nuptials, just be careful when signing a contract, this contract is to protect them NOT you. Life throws you unexpected curve balls and you can never prepare for them. Book a makeup artist, that you can trust and you know has your best interests at heart. I will never recommend purple haze artistry to any one for bridal or non bridal.

The makeup girl also talked badly of a previous client who did not like her work. The hair lady was OK....she couldn't do any styles that were flowy or creative, and could hairspray an updo that was meh. Mostly, she used a ton of hairspray and the hair stayed intact but it was forgettable. Overall, the vibes we got from the ladies was odd. They didn't seem friendly, not even to each other and their work just wasn't good enough to warrant their prices or catty attitudes.
