Make Me Fabulous

I’ve had the pleasure of having my makeup done on multiple occasions by Lauren. I can’t speak highly enough about her. She knows tips and tricks I would never think of to make sure that my makeup looks good under camera lighting. She also is really versatile. She does makeup to emphasize your best features. She’s genuine, easy to talk to, & she makes me feel special. If you are looking for a professional makeup artist, look no further, she is so incredibly talented. You will love her.

From start to finish, they were AMAZING. Set up me, mom, and my bridesmaids for wedding hair and some makeovers. I felt absolutely stunning and thoroughly pampered (mimosas and all) when they finished and so did all the girls. Highly recommend!

I had my hair and makeup done for a wedding in Saratoga along with 7 others. Elaine and Suzie did an outstanding job! They were fun, professional and left us all feeling and looking fabulous. If you’re looking for hair and makeup in the area, these are your girls.

Called an hour out for a simple eyebrow wax and Courtney spent nearly 20 minutes perfecting my brows. Reasonable price. Will definitely be back.

Experienced a bit of a glitch in customer service (below) relative to an appointment discrepancy, but was graciously contacted by management who listened attentively. Came to a satisfactory conclusion. Happily planning to return. You are a class act… thank you!
I’m very disappointed to have been turned away twice for the same appt (first time because of a power outage (ok) — the second because I was told I was a day late (?); the day before I had a tooth pulled — don’t think I would have double booked that!). Anyway, I work Tues. thru Sat. (salon hours) and understand how difficult it is to make an appt for a little bit of self-​indulgence, but I never would have turned a client away the second time because I didn’t want to add .30 extra minutes to my day to make her happy (especially when she spent $ 270 in the shop on her first visit). I wasn’t even offered a short .30 minute mini-​service so that I looked half-​way decent in public until I could rebook. Too bad… I thought I had a new place to play.
FYI — I also believe in tipping very well when someone goes the extra mile! Your loss.

Walked in for facial waxing on Friday morning. Friendly & polite receptionist told me 10 minute wait, but after the wait, they politely told me they couldn’t do it. No explanation why. A little puzzled as they never tried to set up an appointment or asked if I wanted to come later. It was not very fabulous customer experience.

Gwen is fantastic! Recently got highlights and a cut, LOVE my hair. She’s attentive, offers great suggestions, and the results are great.

I went in for a facial and pedicure.
Pros: Facial was thorough and relaxing, they used good products and upgrades were reasonably priced (extra exfoliants and peels). Good pedicure too– while it lasted.
Cons: Place was very crowded on Saturday (with brides I believe) with no place to sit after your pedicure to let your nails dry off, unless you stay in the pedicure chair. My 75min facial really only took 65min, and my nail polish came off inside my shoes in 2 days. (like, not because it was wet– it chipped and flaked off). The polish is partly the fault of Opi but I still lay partial blame on the salon.
I got a good deal on the package with both, otherwise I would have been irritated, especially at a shortened service. I even added an upgrade to my 75min facial, so the fact that it was still 10min short was not good.

The first time I heard the name I thought it might of been an odd name for a salon. Then I noticed that they use the make up that I love, bare minerals/​essentials. As I drove through on my way to my bridal boutique I stopped in to get a ‘feel’ for the salon. I got a warm, fun energetic vibe from the group of girls in the shop. I didn’t make my appointment for a few more months.
When I finally called to see if they were available for my wedding date they were and I made an appointment for a ‘preview’ which is a trial run of make up and a hairstyle of which you bring in a photo or look through their books. I had the idea in my mind but had not seen a picture prior to my appointment. I found the style I imagined in one of their books. Alayne is the owner.
Alayne showed up to our suite early to do everyone’s hair and 2 makeups. She is wonderful, flexible, upbeat, and LISTENS to what her clients like and want. She doesn’t impose her creative thoughts on anyone and is very skilled from her many years of experience and knowledge. I am more on the conservative side and liked specific parts of the make up but didn’t want bright colors. Whenever I asked her to lighten up or take some off she completely understood and complied.
My hair was time consuming putting in all those curls just to loosen them up and complete it in a half updo. My hair was comfortable and stayed all night. The make up was flawless and I never even felt the make up. She put it on in a way that was so light and it never smudged on anyone. I have no idea how. I loved being around Alayne and her staff and found a permanent hairstylist as well as my permanent make up girl. Don’t pass this place up. This is the ONLY salon I would recommend for onsite make up on your big day. It is worth it to worry about one less thing and have the make up and hair come to YOU! They are not the cheapest but are the most professional and are not your friend or yourself. They are worth it.
