Total Image Bridal

Horrible results horrible attitude. Found a great place instead. It’s a rip off. They did nothing what my daughter asked we came back a second time again looked horrible we found someone else that did exactly what my daughter wanted I call total image back and they gave me nothing but attitude I think it was a total rip off. She told me that’s what trials are for, to me she should get her money back. My daughter even showed them pictures of what she wanted and it was nothing like the pictures and they argued saying it would look bad the day for wedding. We found another girl outside total image that did exactly what my daughter wanted and it was beautiful so it can be done it just can’t be done at total image. If you want your wedding to be perfect I definitely would not recommend this place. I gave them the benefit of giving my daughter back her money and they were very rude and said that’s what a trial is for. They ripped her off. I said I was going to post this and with attitudes they said go ahead so here I am.

Christa and her crew are fantastic!
She gets back to you asap whether you call or email her. The make-​up artist and hairdresser came to my house for my wedding which was totally convenient. They were outgoing, funny, and arrived on time! They did everyone’s hair and makeup spot on! My two sister-​in-​laws let the hairdresser to whatever she wanted to do and they loved it!
It couldn’t have been a more amazing and personal experience! Truly felt like a little party! I cannot express how incredible Total Image Bridal is! I’ll be recommending Christa and her team to anyone in need! Thank you all so very much!

My wedding was on May 2, 2015
I had my makeup and hair done by Christa, and it was absolutely perfect! We had 7 people get their hair and makeup done and one bridal hair and makeup. They brought 2 hair and 2 makeup artists. The ladies were so nice, accommodating, and on time! We actually finished earlier than expected.
I had my trail in advance, and knew this was the perfect place. Their work is amazing, and prices are reasonable.
The day of I loved all of the hair and makeup. The makeup lasted ALL night! And I felt Beautiful. Thank you so much to Christa and her team!

I used Total Image for my August wedding. I was looking for a someone to come to my home for hair and makeup. I wanted to avoid as much stress as possible. I am so glad I did. Two stylist were sent to my home. The morning of the wedding went so smooth with very little stress. Everyone was finished before my requested time and looked amazing. Only issues — one of my curls came out of the bobby pin and my stylist left without putting my veil on. I had to ask the other stylist to help me. Overall good value compared to other salons.

Christa and the Total Image team are seriously fantastic! I looked and felt gorgeous on my wedding day, and I didn’t need to touch up at all throughout the day/​night. She is THAT good! My guests kept commenting on how great my hair & makeup was, and I know that all of my girls felt great too! Christa and Jen did 6 hair appointments and 10 makeup appointments, and we didn’t feel rushed or worried at all. They traveled to us, and were flexible in our Hospitality Suite; even without any windows/​natural light, Christa did our makeup perfectly! I would 100% book Total Image again in a heartbeat. You honestly can’t go wrong with this team!

My wedding was on Sunday, 9÷6÷2015.
I researched and researched bridal hair and makeup for quite awhile. It was surprisingly difficult to find a reputable service for a bride on a budget. I spoke with Christa on the phone regarding her services and prices. After reading her past reviews, I decided to put down a security deposit. She turned out to be one of my best vendors that I used for the big day. She was easy to work with during the pre-​planning period, and was wonderful during the day of. Christa’s service providers (hairstylists and makeup artists) arrived on time and were excellent at their jobs. They were professional, listened to what my bridal ladies wanted/​needed, and made everyone look gorgeous. I would highly recommend her services to future brides.
I did want to note that email communication was a little spotty. However, once it got closer to the actual wedding weekend, Christa was easy and accessible to any questions/​concerns I had.

I had my bridal hair and make-​up trial back in February. I would give 4 stars, if the review was based solely on the make-​up. The artist did a fantastic job and by the end of the day my make-​up still looked fresh. Unfortunately, the hair was below average. I showed a picture of exactly what I wanted and stressed how I wanted lots of volume. My hair essentially looked as if it was a ponytail with curls in it. She tried adding more volume at the end by pulling a comb through, but it did not work. By the end of the day, my hair was flat and falling out. I had higher hopes, as the pictures on their website looked gorgeous.
After the trial, I decided not to book. No one called to follow-​up with me or even inquire about booking. It was even more disappointing after spending $ 100+ on a failed trial.

I found Total Image on the web and took a chance. The week prior to my wedding I had a trial hair and makeup done. I never wear makeup, so even a little seems like a lot. The trial hair and makeup was nice. I planned to have 3 bridesmaids and I junior bridesmaid, along with myself done on my wedding day. At the last minute 2 other junior bridesmaids wanted their hair and makeup done and total image was great. They did more than accommodate me, they made my day special with no stress.
My hair was different than the trial in the salon, it was even better. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup, but the hair, it was spectacular! It held up all night. My only complaint was that the two junior bridesmaids hair looked thrown together, but that was not their fault. The girls came very very late. I am still surprised that they were able to accommodate them. I give Total Image 5 stars for their professionalism and knowledge of what they are doing. I didn’t know what I wanted and only told her I wanted an updo and it was simply perfect!!! Would recommend and did recommend to many people at the wedding. They really made me feel like Cinderella!

I went there for a spray tan. I have to say this was THE WORST «custom spray tan» I have ever gotten. There was no barrier cream so even though I used the cheap baby wipes they gave me to wipe off the bottom of my feet they are still orange. Probably because they don’t give you even a hand towel to dab off the excess. I asked if I should wipe off in between my fingers and she said it didn’t matter. Um yes it did because if I didn’t they would be orange like my feet. I have spots all over my body where she didn’t spray me. There is also not an option to choose how dark you want to be. I have absolutely no base tan since it is winter. There’s no way I should look this way. It’s totally unnatural. Maybe if it were even it would look ok. One last part of my horrific experience was every time she went in and out of the room she just opened the door so everyone in the salon could see me naked. Very uncomfortable. If you are looking for a clean, professional salon that knows what they are doing, this is not the place to go.

I met Christa (owner of Total Image) at a bridal show about 12 months before our wedding. She is an absolute doll and I instantly fell in love with her and her team of ladies. I booked them to do hair and make-​up for 13 women for our 12÷13÷14 wedding. Christa and her amazing team (4 total) took care of my large bridal party of 8 bridesmaids, bride, mother of bride, mother of groom, aunt of bride and grandmother of groom. They were prompt on time at our hotel and we had so much fun getting ready, it was like old girlfriends getting together! While we had fun, Christa made sure that she was getting us in and out of hair and make-​up to make sure we met our time guidelines. With the speed of Christa and her team, you’d think the quality would be sub-​par, but my ladies were FLAWLESS. Not only were they flawless on the morning of the day of the wedding, one of my bridesmaids even slept in her makeup (big no-​no) and looked like she had her make-​up professionally done for the brunch, when it was actually from the day before! I was extremely indecisive about my hair and even after two trials was not sure what I wanted to go with. The girls at Total Image put together an up-​do that was exactly what I wanted but could not verbalize.
Even when there was a hiccup where I lost my engagement ring (long story short it was cleaned by housekeeping and almost made a trip through the dishwasher), Christa kept me smiling and said she would march downstairs and shut the hotel down until we found the ring. When you’re getting ready on your big day, you want a fun environment to enjoy with the people you love and Christa and her team were basically part of the bridal party. My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-​in-​law kept saying how pretty they felt. I felt gorgeous and must have referred 30 people to Total Image the day of my wedding. I gifted my bridesmaids a portion of the hair and makeup cost because I wanted everyone to get their hair and make-​up done so pictures were consistent (when 5 bridesmaid have airbrush and 2 do not, you can tell — I highly recommend professional hair/​make-​up for the entire bridal party). They were all told to have their hair and make-​up done in whatever way made them feel the most beautiful. Everyone was absolutely stunning. Thank you Christa and your team of fabulous women at Total Image.

My bridal hair and makeup trial went fantastic and it was even better on the big day!
Christa’s team of professionals are the best and very reasonably priced.
They showed up on-​time at our hotel downtown and did a fantastic job getting through 6 women for hair and makeup. Everyone was incredible impresses. They were even able to add in a quick Jr. Bridesmaid hair-​do which wasn’t planned for.
The staff was super friendly and have years of experience, you can tell. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, All of the women looked natural and amazing. I cannot thank your team enough!

I got an appointment with Christie for an airbrush tan 2 days before my event. She was very professional and super helpful since i have only ever spray tanned in booths-​this was my first custom. I opted for the medium level– i should’ve went darker! I was afraid it wouldn’t look right but now i know-​christie knows what she’s doing she wouldn’t have made me look bad. My legs are still tan 5 days later, my face wore off in about 4 days but thats normal. I loved the color for the time being. I will go back to her again, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great tan for an upcoming event.

Whenever I need a quick tan, this is my go to place. I am beyond pleased with the results as I never look orange. The tan is natural looking and lasts for at least a week. The owner has always done my tans and makes me feel completely comfortable. Additionally, the owner has given discounts and coupons which is always an added plus. Great place for air brush tanning!

I love this place! I go here for airbrush tans and I am pleased with my results every time.

I’m so glad I didn’t read these reviews before I came here. I’m really surprised by the negative comments. I do NOT do well in general with spray tanning. I don’t do anything to prepare with exfoliating. I’m horrible about washing my feet afterwards and blah blah blah, but somehow, that next morning after going to Total a Image, I take a shower and my tan looks great!!! I get so many compliments from people who can’t believe it’s from a spray because it looks so natural. I found Total Image from purchasing a Groupon and have continued to go back because of the quality of work they do!

Total Image is my go-​to place for airbrush tans. I’ve been going to Christa for a year now, and her work is great! The customer service also makes the experience at Total Image satisfying every time.
If you need color for an upcoming wedding or special event, I highly recommend going to Christa!
Thanks Christa, you are awesome!

Worst airbrush tan I have ever received. I got mine done last Wednesday night for a wedding tomorrow, I wanted to give myself some wiggle room incase I was too dark I could fade. Well fading wasn’t really the problems I’m orange and yellow! There are spots that are missing down my arms, my feet are discussing and blotchy. I look pretty diseased. I exfoliated more than I ever have right before my appointment and did not shower until 24 hours later like she said and it still turned out horrible. I by far think my hands are the works. My palms are white with a clear line from my wrist where I am umpa lumpa to my ghost white palms. My fingers are speckled and the most uneven I have ever seen. I would not recommend this place to ANYONE let alone someone who was maid of honor in a wedding.

My three bridesmaids, my mom, the mother of the groom and I had our hair done by Total Image for my wedding. All but the moms also had makeup done.
The ladies were SO nice — from the trial run to the day of. Their kind words and casual manner helped keep everyone calm.
They also did a great job adjusting their styles to the preferences of each person. Their egos did not get in the way of what the customers wanted — which is awesome. My hair and makeup kept the entire night. I felt truly beautiful, but also still felt like me.
I loved that they came to us, instead of having to haul a bridal party to a salon. The price was much lower than any salon I found, especially with the travel included.
Definitely use Total Image for bridal hair and makeup!

I loved how Total Image dolled-​up me, my bridesmaids, mom, mother-​in-​law, and flower girl on my 6.10.12 wedding day!
The ladies of Total Image made us all look just like we wanted on my big day. The airbrush makeup is awesome… it was almost 100 degrees on my wedding day, and the makeup lasted from 10 AM until 2 AM!
They can create whatever look you want: glam, natural, simple or over-​the-​top!
Total Image gals are friendly, on-​time, and reasonably priced. I’d definitely recommend them if your’e looking for a great beauty team your wedding!

Not the best experience… and thats the best I can say. I went here on a Groupon for my first sunless, tanning-​bedless, tan. The price was right ($ 17.00) and had I paid full price ($ 35.00), I would have been back in there two days later demanding a refund.
To begin with, the one woman shop is always locked on the outside. Understandable I guess, since there is only one person working the shop and may be busy air brushing someone else. After the akward fail opening the door, the woman who eventually sprayed my tan let me in.
I had to wait about 5 minutes for the person in the booth before me to dry. As she left, I wanted to run out the locked door behind her as she was a flourescent tone of Snookie. I made myself calm down knowing that this may not be the end result as this was my first time spray tanning.
Ok, made it to the room. I stripped down to my undies and put the used shower cap on to cover my hair and yelled ‘ready’ over the partition wall.
The spray… took about 15 minutes. I was expecting that… She seemed very attentive and I felt the cold spray hit me. She told me how to stand, how to put my arms and moved thru the yoga poses of air-​brush tanning to cover every angle. When she finished, she even did a second coat (though applied much faster than the first).
Now comes the wierd, bad, and horrifying parts. After standing there to dry for 3 – 4 minutes per side in front of a fan that didn’t seem to blow air anywhere, she came in to tell me I was done.
My first look in the mirror… hmm, nice, I’m tan! Next… OMG, the bottoms of my feet aree BLACK. Then I realized, the towel that I’d been standing on during the spray had obviously been used all day. Hmm… cleanliness? It was a white cotten towel… why couldn’t each person have a new one? I didn’t want to put my shoes on.
On the way out the door, she told me not to shower until the morning, and that a good portion would wash off leaving a beautiful tan that would last about a week and a half and fade evenly.
So I made it home, attempted to scrub the bottom of my feet. Some color did rinse off, but for the most part the color didn’t budge. Minutes later, one touch to my collarbone area nearly wiped ALL the color off. In mere panic, I attempted to smear the rest together. I gave up, and in all of my stickiness and smelliness, went to bed.
Next day, shower! Yes, a lot rinsed off in the shower, but it did leave a nice tan behind. Whew!
Wait… Whats that? My face was about 3 shades too dark. Good news… my teeth looked super white, along with my eyeballs! The back of my calves… nothing. The line when I lift my arm that goes down my tricep to where your bra strap goes around… like night and day. Bottoms of my feet, still black.
It continued to wash off for a few showers, and smelled like a fake tan when I worked out for about 3 days.
It’ll be a week tomorrow, most of the tan has faded/​washed off. Parts of my feet are still very dark as are the tops of my toes. My arms have become blotchy and the tan almost loos pixelated. My legs have no color left to them, and neither does my face. Can’t say it faded evenly at all. It went from way too Snookie looking to nearly gone and spotty within days, and didnt last nearly as long as the week and a half to two weeks I was expecting.
Again, glad I didn’t pay full price and definitely won’t be going back. May try another form of spray tan in the future, just because I’m now aware of the dangers of tanning beds. For my first time, and not knowing what to expect, I’m pretty sure this is NOT what should have happened.
