We hired Shannon and Danielle for our hair and makeup for our wedding day (3/27/2021). Not only did…read morethey do my hair/make-up (bride), but also that of my entire bridal party (3 bridesmaids, 1 Mother-of-bride). Prior to our wedding day, I met with Shannon and Danielle about my wants/needs for the day of and they were just a joy to work with. Our conversation flowed smoothly and you can see their passion in their work. When my Mom also wanted a trial done before the day, they accommodated her needs (especially concerns regarding mask usage and COVID). On the day of the wedding, they arrived on-time and were patient with my group; many who wanted "eyes only" done for the wedding due to mask usage. We had wonderful conversations the day of the wedding, and tons of laughter! When most of us asked for natural/neutral tones, Shannon delivered on her ability to make it work for each of our skin tones. Also, if you have questions or concerns about fake lashes, DON'T. The lashes that Shannon uses are AMAZING!!!! They don't look fake or gaudy, they look natural and beautiful! They accommodated the needs of limited hairspray (my husband is allergic) as well as ensured they had latex-free lash glue for one of my allergic bridesmaids, Truly a joy to work with!

I am so grateful that I booked Shannon and Melissa for my wedding…read more For my makeup, Shannon was great at taking into account my preferences and making me feel absolutely beautiful without feeling too made up. Melissa took such care and effort with my hair. She also asked me my preferences about whether I wanted the front tresses up or down.. I told her up and then realized as she was almost done that I should have said I wanted them down. She refused to let me just say "No it's alright" and redid the entire braid. I have never felt more beautiful in all my life. I can't wait to see the pictures. Beyond their skill, they are lovely to work with and chat to. They definitely are in the right profession and I recommend them very highly.

I have been to multiple makeup artists in the past but I can safely say that the attention to…read moredetail that Fariha pays when she's working on someone is highly commendable. She begins by asking, "So, what type of look do you want today? Do you want the musky, the cool, the deep, or whatever look it is that you are looking for." She'd take you as an art project, enjoying every brush stroke, fine tuning the foundation color and perfecting the lipstick shade to make sure that you're ready to slay the party by the time you walk out of her makeup session. She's also pretty chill, which means that if you are stressing about your big day..you will feel calmer in her presence. In a nutshell, she knows how to beautify you in a way that the makeup stays true to who you are as a person, which I feel is an admirable talent. Additionally, I also loves that she educates the client along the way, telling what product she is using and why. If you look at her portfolio you can see that she's worked on a variety of skin types and she's done a wonderful job with them all. Whether you are getting ready for an a morning shoot, an evening shoot, a regular party or just want to get dressed because "why not"..she's got you. She has my glowing recommendation and I would never ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

I love Shear Envy, Shamara, and her Brazilian blowouts so much that I drive from Dallas to get my…read morehair done! I've been going to Shear Envy for 4+ years of which 3 of them I've lived in Dallas and make the trek down south to spend the best 90 minutes and $150 of my life on my hair. My hair dries faster, looks shinier, and feels healthier. I cannot live without a BB now! Shamara is so sweet, funny, flexible, and a true gem. I can text her my schedule as to when I'll be in Austin and she finds the way to fit me in. She's professional but also very personable. The salon is comfortable and easily accessible. The space is not the typical salon wherein you hear other conversations, blow dryers blaring all around, and/or rushed in and out. We like to watch TV and laugh at reality shows or talk about the cute new movie stars. I've had other BBs before but they've cost more, aren't as straight, and/or don't last as long. You cannot go wrong with beautiful hair at a very reasonable price from the best stylist!

Before I get into this post, I do want to say excellent service! The only issue I would say I had…read morewas having to come in 2 hours earlier & I have a breastfed 5 month old baby home that was kind of inconvenient for me since I scheduled this appointment a month and a half ago. The silk press & trim was $120. I feel like my services should've been at least $80 because, from my past experience, silk press comes with a steam and that softness and shininess. I got a wash, sat under the dryer, and a flat iron. Overall, my hair does feels great. Shamara sells her own products which is what I really liked the most! The vibe here is beautiful! Her decoration is really nice, I love the atmosphere. August is the Support Black Business Month and as a black woman, that's what I do being part of BIPOC.

I initially booked my lash lift appointment through ClassPass. I turned up to my appointment only…read moreto be told that they didn't have the appointment in their system (even though I had gotten a confirmation email from ClassPass). The owner Fadia told me that everything is managed by her and that if I wanted an appointment I'd need to go online to their Vagaro page and reserve it there. So I went home and booked an appointment with Amber for a time slot later that day, to include the lash consultation and another appointment for the actual Lash Lift. I show up for my appointment which was booked through the site she requested, and the door is locked and no one is there. The phone is not being answered, and I wait around outside for 25 minutes before deciding that it wasn't worth it to wait any longer. As I'm getting into my car I get a call from the owner, saying she didn't hear the phone ring. She apologized for the inconvenience and told me that because no appointments were booked with Amber at the start of the day, Amber stayed home. Hence why she wasn't there for her appointment. Perhaps don't have same day time slots listed on your site if this is the case. Regardless, Fadia moved the appointments to a week later for me, while I was on the phone with her. For 9am and 9:15 am on Saturday. I receive several confirmations via both email and text. Well, Saturday morning rolls around and once again, the door is locked and no one is there. The phone goes straight to voicemail. In fact to this day (almost a month later) the salon has yet to return my call or email to explain and/or apologize, despite me leaving a voicemail and contacting Vagaro and ClassPass to have this resolved. This salon displayed such a level of unprofessionalism and truly wasted my time... and gas. Do better, Fab Beauty Bar, Fadia and Amber and treat your new clients with some level of respect.

I came in for a touch up to my blonde highlights after seeing her good reviews and now I'm…read morewondering how she got those reviews. After over 4+ hours in her chair/sink (for a service that normally takes about 2 1/2 hours), she turned my hair orange in places and toned away my bright highlights. She agreed to fix it and I came back in. After another 2+hours (over 6 hours total), I had an orangey blonde ring of hair around my face (it's bad). She wanted to book a THIRD appointment to fix it, as it was around 9pm at this point. No thanks. Did I mention that she was rude? She insisted on toner that I didn't want. I told her that i like the look of bright blonde highlights and I have been getting my hair highlighted for about 15 years. I tried toner a couple of times and didn't like it. She insisted on using it and she did. She actually said that I was being "combative" when I questioned her insisting on toner and when I had said that I really didn't want it. When she asked where I was from and I said that I was from NY, she said "oh, that explains alot". Wow. Just wow. She actually tried to tell me that my hair turned orange because I had a baby 10 weeks ago and my hormones are not normalized yet (this is ridiculous, as there is ZERO connection-look it up). She took the foils out the second time I was in, saying that they weren't working due to my hormones. She rinsed my hair and literally slathered bleach on the front of my wet hair around my face (no foils). She said that using a higher developer on wet hair should work. She left me sitting with my head in her sink for over half an hour while she worked on another woman and checked my hair occasionally (my neck is killing me now). She rinsed again, then saw more orange and pit more bleach in that spot. It didnt work. I was texting my old stylist in NY what was going on and she said that this girl (Fadia) has no idea what she's doing. She let me know that you just don't bleach wet hair, she should have continued using foils, but under a dryer and low lights up front to balance out her brassiness. This is only some of it. She could not believe what was going on. When all was said and done, I left with my hair a complete mess and needing corrective coloring. Needless to say, I will go to someone that knows what they're doing to get this fixed. I definitely didn't want to risk Fadia doing any more damage to my hair.

I don't let anyone else touch my hair and she's done wonders with it. And I've been going to her for more than 2 years. An appointment with her is a special treat because she's amazing in what she does plus she's an awesome person with a big heart! Greatly recommend! Plus she also does fabulous make up! Today was an awesome appointment because she cut and styled my hair and make up tutorial! I absolutely loved it and learned so much. My husband couldn't stop complimenting me! And Michelle is the sweetest, she even gave me a present for Christmas since I will not be seeing her till January. I most definitely recommend her and you will love her! Below are my before and after photos from today and the lovely present she gave me! Yay!

She's very knowledgeable and gave me tips for my hair extensions and color during my trial and after implementing those - my hair looked better than ever. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Saturday, May 21 2016…read more I was running about 10-15 minutes late to my 2:30 appointment (Austin traffic SUCKS) and I called and let them know. Melanie answered and was a complete sweetheart and said it'd be okay (she saved me from stressing over a loss of a prom hair appointment and trust me, I was freaking out!). I got there around 2:50 and I was done by 3:15 (I have very thick hair and wanted a updo). She worked fast and efficient while still conversing with me on a personal level. She finished at such a perfect time because I needed to be in my dress and out of there by 3:30. They were so kind to even let me change there!!! Melanie is great, I will definatly recommend her to anyone. She's super considerate, sweet and really knows how to style hair based off of my finished hairdo. My prom day was successful, thank you! I LOVE MY ENVY SALON!!!!
