This review is not for Aimee but rather a stylist who was working for her. I unfortunately did not schedule a trial with Aimee early enough to book her for my wedding. I did a tria...l with one of her stylists, and while she was very talented with make up, when it came time to focus on hair, she seemed rushed and in a hurry to leave. We tried a side swept look and I thought it looked pretty, but I voiced my concern about it covering half of my face, the side that would be visible during the ceremony. The stylist brushed my concern aside and I didn't push.
Looking back it was obvious that a side swept look with nothing holding the hair is not a good idea for a bride, especially if the hair is to the side shown during the ceremony. I wish I would have insisted more, but issues with almost all the hair in the face is something a professional stylist who does many weddings should see coming a mile away. The style caused a number of photos to be messed up, and was generally uncomfortable to keep brushing hair out of my face the entire day.
Additionally, after the trial I noticed my curls fell flat shortly after. I contacted Aimee who promptly responded saying she would talk to the stylist. On the day of my wedding, I reminded the stylist that my hair would need more heat so thay the style lasted at least the 5-6 hours. Unfortunately, the curls lasted 1-2 hours at most. My hair can hold curls (when I was MOH at a wedding earlier that year, my curls lasted one day), so it was disappointing to see my hair fall flat quickly on such an important day.
Finally, my stylist appeared to be in a rush on my wedding day. She said she would take 30-45 minutes on my mom and MOH but took half the time and then was in a rush to leave. I didn't witness this myself, but my sister (MOH) said the stylist put her down for wanting very light make up (something along the lines of "that's it?" in a judgmental tone). It may have not been meant negatively, but again, professional stylists should be sensitive to the fact that every client has different tastes.
Seeing all of Aimee's reviews about her and her team taking the time to listen to the brides and perfecting their looks had me feeling that this was not my experience at all, unfortunately.
