I had my make-up done twice here by Grace for two weddings and was quite happy! Both times I wanted a "natural" look but it was slightly different each time. I just let her do her magic.
She's patient and friendly. I explained that I had sensitive skin and wanted to use my own concealer and foundation and it wasn't a problem. She's also really fast and finished my make-up in less than 15 minutes. I also thought $38 was a good price.
The only thing that really disappointed me was the up-do. When I called, I was quoted $75 and was given a woman's name. However, when I showed up, they assigned me Mario.
I didn't think much of it but when I started talking to him and showing him a photo of the updo I wanted, I thought he was condescending and indirectly made fun of me. It was a "messy/elegant" style.
He also blamed my hair saying that it wasn't long enough and it was too layered but was going to "try" anyway. You know what? I didn't say it at the time but I looked hideous! No way I was going to walk around like that!
I took a deep breath and politely said, "This wasn't what I expected" and kindly asked him to do another updo; something more simple and would "work" with my hair. So at the end, I ended up getting a simple "tucked" chignon. It was OK but not what I had originally wanted. Then I was charged $95!
Anyway, even if my hair wasn't "suitable" for that updo, at least say it politely. I just thought he had an attitude and I would never recommend him to my friends.
I still love Grace though. She's great! I'm just going to stick with the make-up.
