| - I love this place!
Ok, so it all started out with the fact that I get nervous about big events, since I'm so hair and makeup challenged. I'm honestly lucky that I can match socks. Really. Point me to a gym and I'm good to go. Point me to a salon and I'll ask questions about everything. But I digress. I found out about this place from their Groupon and the fact that it was competitively priced, conveniently located by Big O Tires, and that they had quite a bit of open availability (I emailed them two days ago and they were able to fit me in).
After browsing their site and asking a million questions via email, I was able to figure out that they could fit me in for a mani/pedi (original reason for my trek to Henderson) with $20 charge for the french manicure on Friday, and the hair and makeup on Saturday (airbrush makeup and honestly, didn't know what kind of hairstyle cuz I'm challenged). So, the makeup artist and hairstylist (multi-talented), Tia, basically came up with everything as a result of seeing my dress the night before.
So, I was greeted, got to relax in a massage chair, and enjoyed my mani pedi. I'm not gonna lie, I do not normally do this sort of thing unless I'm pulling out all the stops for an event, so the manicure and pedicure was weird for me. And yes, I ended up smudging the nails (about 4 total) on both hands before the night was over on Friday :(
We actually did the consultation via email (I showed her pics of what I wanted to accomplish) and then she showed me a few things in person. They deduced that I pretty much was clueless and needed to help me. So, I showed up with pics, gave all creative control to Tia, the same girl that did my mani/pedi, and she did me up--created the side do and did airbrush makeup. And I must admit that the makeup was amazing--not too heavy, not too light...seriously, perfect. And I liked the fact that Tia explained what exactly she was doing step-by-step. Cuz yep, I'm a noob. She was also kind enough to put the lash strips on for me and touch up my nails. I kept getting compliments on everything all night.
I can't wait for my next event...cuz I'll definitely be emailing them/giving them a call. Check out my pic with Tia for proof.
Enough of my babbling. Go in and try them out. They offer so many services and pretty reasonable rates, too. Thank you, Groupon and Tia.
