| - Oh Primp and Blow are you lucky...and not in a particularly good way. I've been to Primp and Blow twice because I am such a idiot when it comes to doing my own hair and makeup. I had a very important interview for an internship in downtown Phoenix and wanted to go the extra mile of looking good. I was a little apprehensive given the owner's reputation on Yelp but since they were the closest to my interview I decided to take the chance. Can I just say, I adore their online booking system. The first time I went I understood other people's concern about their waiting area, as they simple have some round cushion thing past the receptionist to sit on. I didn't mind. The girl who did my hair the first time did a fine job (way better than I could ever have done), I don't remember if she offered me a Ipad but she and I had a great chat so I didn't really care. I told her I was getting my makeup done after at MAC (because, let's be honest, they're not hairdressers who picked up makeup as a side job but girls who devoted themselves to getting your makeup perfect...plus I get to keep some of the makeup). She was a little apprehensive about the wild MAC look and really encouraged me to use their makeup service next time. I left with beautiful hair, got my makeup done perfectly at MAC and had a successful first interview.
Fast forward to my second round of interviews, I decide to take the hairstylists advice and take the chance to get my hair AND makeup done at Primp and Blow. I always schedule my appointments a bit earlier than my interviews so I can never be possibly late but since my first interview that day was in the morning, I needed the girl to be really efficient with her time. I thought it wouldn't be a problem since their appointment system is so time-sensitive and gives you a time for when the appointment will start and then end. The appointment system also mentioned that I'd have the same stylist who did my hair doing my makeup. I even mentioned to the stylist that I had a interview in downtime Phoenix at 11:30 and which is why I made sure my appointment would end at 10:30, and give me sufficient time to get there. Once again, the hair appointment went perfectly fine. The the stylist tells me that their "makeup artist" would be doing my makeup. Alright, I think, a little strange but whatever. So I sit in her chair and read magazines on the Ipad, since she got my hair done rather quickly I thought it really didn't matter to wait five minutes or so. Unfortunately I ended up waiting about fifteen minutes. Why? Well apparently the makeup artist didn't know she had to be at work that early. How do I know this? Because the receptionist desk was less than two feet behind me and ten minutes into anxiously waiting they decide to call the artists and I get the pleasure of hearing the most interesting conversation that goes along the lines of, "Hey are you coming into work?" -"Really?"- "You're suppose to be here at 10" and then the receptionist hangs up the phone and proceeds to tell the girl she was training that the makeup artist apparently forgot she had work at 10 and thought she had work at 11. I'm about to freak out. It is like, listen girls, you're all very cute here I know that you all know at the very least how to throw some lipstick on. My stylists comes over almost fifteen minutes after I was suppose to get my makeup done to tell me she's going to 'start' it. Honestly I'm just so freaking happy to get anything on my face and she actually does a pretty decent job...I pay, run to to my car in a frenzy and make it to my interview but it ended up being 15 minutes after I was suppose to get out of there. Listen Primp and Blow you are a service that caters to women with places to go and people to see, you need to be very diligent in getting your customers out at the promised time. I got the internship (yay me) which is the only reason you're getting decent rating, but had you made me late because you didn't adhere to your own schedule, you would have received the worst review I could have fathomed.
So hair? Yeah A+, makeup....decent, but once again these girls are stylists first and makeup artists....second (if not third). And if you're on a strict schedule I suggest you make this explicitly known, and still be prepared to be running out of there like a beautiful crazed woman.
