| - I was in an emergency situation and the Altered Ego team came through for me! I had a formal banquet to attend and the stylist I'd hired had to cancel due to a sick child.
I had a vintage pin-up look to achieve, with a fabulous red dress, funky pumps, and I needed a vintage hair style to pull it all together! The dress and shoes and jewelry just would not have looked right. My hair is pin-straight fine, and slippery, and there is no way I could have done anything with it without professional help.
The Altered Ego Salon took me in with just a 1-day notice. I spoke with two stylists who, after looking at my vintage hair style inspiration photos, asked me to wait so that they could consult with another stylist who could do the kind of style I was looking for. I loved that all the stylists knew what was within, and wasn't within, their repertoire and were concerned with my satisfaction with the style.
I ended up having three stylists. One that used lots of texturizing product and put large curls with a curling iron all over my hair. That was completely necessary, and another stylist with more experience actually came over to coach the stylist working on my hair on what the best texturizer would be and how to apply it to have the best hold for my kind of hair.
Once my long, straight hair was completely curled, my angel of vintage hairstyles took over. I confess I don't remember her name, and when I come across her card again, I'll add it here, but it began with M and I think it had a "y" in it. She herself had often dressed in vintage fashion and styled her hair in vintage looks.
She was an expert at adding volume near the base of my hair, added a top "Victory Roll," kept my high forehead from looking too high with positioning the Victory Roll just right, and worked the long curls of my hair to frame my face and look beautiful from all angles.
All of that work cost just $60. That's amazingly inexpensive! I would have paid well over $100 in Atlanta for the same style!
As I walked through the 300-person banquet and cocktail reception heads turned and many remarked on how I looked like an old time movie star. One gentleman said, "I didn't know Betty Grable was the star of this party!" The ladies were very complimentary about the vintage look and I am grateful to Maestro M, the sorceress of styles, who brought a perfect vintage look to my ensemble.
I highly recommend Altered Ego Salon!
