It's MAC people! What more can I say?…read more Great line of cosmetics. Although I think too thick for me for an everyday occasion, I never fall short on a night out. These people are the bees knees! They do your makeup when you purchase over $50 of products, with appointment. I should say I am not a fan of the small store though, but that's not surprising because most MACs are like this. Good make up doesn't have to be expensive and although MAC tends to dive off the deep end, they are usually worth the investment. The founder of MAC Cosmetics is probably friends with founder of Victoria Secret.

Love MAC products, hate this location. I have never walked in and actually been helped. I usually…read morego in knowing exactly what I want because I know that the staff are not going to help me. They are too busy clocking out for lunch, or chatting with their friends. I was in desperate need of some Viva Glam VI and didn't want to wait for it to be shipped if I order it online, which by the way has been my standby to avoid this location. I walked in and went to the counter. The associate said, "I am going to lunch but she can help you when she's done". WTF?! I stood there for 5 minutes when others came in and filed behind me. I finally went into the cabinet where I knew the item was and said loudly, "I need to pay for this, now!". The associate came over, rang me up, and told the others who were waiting that she would be with them when she was finished. She went back over to gab and I walked out. I vow from this point forward to only order MAC online.

The Makeup Addict Studios is JUST that fantastic. It's certainly a noteworthy, professional make up studio worth mentioning. The Makeup Addict Studio, owned and operated by Ambria Cotten, is a cutting edge makeup studio in a class of its own. I have had the privilege of visiting the studio numerous times and will continue to visit. When you walk in, you are greeted with a warm smile and excellent hospitality. This is not just a makeup studio - this is an experience. As one in the music industry, it is of the utmost importance that my makeup is professional and looks good. Ambria is very diverse in her approach, being able to cater to my desire for a dramatic look right down to a natural appearance. I can count on her to give me the look that caters well to my needs. She uses quality products and is sure to ask the right questions about my skin type to ensure the best fit for the look we're going for. When you've got a good thing going, you want to stick with it. For this cause, I will continue to frequent and refer my friends and family to this studio. The level of professionalism provided is comparable to none. Any questions that I may have, she is quick to respond. I've also had the opportunity to see students trained under her tutelage and the level of care that she instructs shows forth her passion for makeup artistry and to see her students progress. This company has an office in both Raleigh and Charlotte. It grieved my heart to see some of the less than tasteful reviews of the Charlotte office. What a shock! My heart goes out to the very few who experienced challenges there. All of my experiences in the Raleigh office has been nothing short of stellar, professional, and unique. I am very careful about the integrity of my associations (especially those working on my face or hair). Because I had frequented the studio numerous times, I felt it necessary to inquire. After all, client statistical trends of repeat business holds true; if there's an issue, people will not return to patronize that business. If I knew something was off, I would no longer want to visit. Integrity is everything! I reached out to the owner to inquire. It was brought to my attention that the moment the challenges in the Charlotte office became known, immediate actions were taken to rectify the situation. This included the swift removal of the previous office manager mentioned in one of the previous posts. It's certainly no desire of mine for anyone to be removed, however, business is business. From my experience, this studio does everything that it can possibly do to cater to the needs of its clients. I am very proud of the work this studio produces and the way it makes me feel. Just to share how amazing this studio is, I was doing a Periscope video about a month ago. I made a trip to Atlanta a few weekends ago, and someone mentioned to me how much they loved my makeup and wanted to have MY NORTH CAROLINIAN makeup artist do their makeup. She's in Atlanta... The last time I checked, Atlanta does NOT have a shortage in makeup artists. The quality provided by the MakeUp Addict Studio touched someone states away who would want to work with my makeup artist. That speaks volumes!!! It is my desire that this posting is as clear and helpful as it could possibly be. I will continue visiting this studio. I leave feeling pretty and every woman deserves this.I don't put my name or endorsement behind everyone and everything, but I would HIGHLY recommend this studio.

Her artistry is unmatched, and she makes the entire experience a joy. I genuinely look forward to seeing her, not just because I know I'll leave with perfect color and a flawless cut, but because she's such a pleasure to be around. Spending time in her chair feels like a treat in every way. I'm so grateful to have found Yessenia -- she nails it every single time, and I couldn't imagine trusting anyone else with my hair!
