| - I used this business for my wedding and the professionalism and product was exactly what I paid for: cheap!
Problem 1: Although I paid for a trial prior to my big day, the woman who did my trial was not the same woman who actually did my makeup on my big day. What is the point of spending money and time for a trial if someone I have never met ends up just winging it the morning of the event? The woman who did my hair in the trial was the same woman who did my hair on my wedding day; however, she looked at me and queried, "How did I do your hair again during the trial?" Again, it is her professional responsibility to work with the client and remember what we had decided. My hair did turn out pretty, but it was completely different from the day of the trial. Although it was beautiful, it went quite flat and when I look at pictures, I notice that there were sections she simply did not curl.
Problem 2: She said she would arrive with her two "assistants" to help with the rather large bridal party. By "assistant," she meant her pre-teen daughter. That's right. . .she brought her daughter who is in Junior High to do hair! Her daughter was very sweet and well-mannered, but we would have been better off keeping our cash and doing our own hair. The second "assistant" was her sister. I do not believe she has any professional expertise or training.
Problem 3: Three of my bridesmaids had to re-do their hair. The only skill these women seemed to have mastered is the curling iron. Yet, the curls went flat within a couple of hours. One of my bridesmaid's asked her to touch up the flattened curls, to which the "hair artist," retorted, "Your hair just isn't the kind of hair that will curl." My bridesmaid has beautiful, lush wavy hair.
If you are looking to save money with this as an alternative to other pricier travel make-up artists or a salon, my advice is to keep the money and recruit girlfriends or relatives to do your make-up/hair. It's about the same level of professionalism, service and expertise. This is the ONLY thing I would have changed about my wedding.
