Please let me start by expressing how hard it is for me to write a less than satisfactory review and how long I've debated about writing it. Then, let me say that my hair did look lovely on my wedding day and it held up pretty well and was a de...cent value; however, the owner Melissa's lack of professionalism during and after my wedding left a very poor taste in my mouth that I had to share. Melissa insisted on having a photo of what we wanted so she could duplicate it, but she lacked that extra artistic instinct to create looks of her own or to expand on pictures and ideas. My trial went fine, a bit rushed, and nothing more than duplicating my photos. The day of my wedding, my maid of honor was less than pleased with the results of her hair, but was trying to give her more ideas to work with; she was met with rolling eyes, dismissive attitudes and scoffing. This was predominantly directed at me, the bride, on my wedding day, behind my sister's back and it was less than appreciated. It truly made me feel uncomfortable.
All this aside, I was not going to write a bad review because I hate doing it; everyone has an off day and I don't want to hurt anyone's way to make a living. Then, following my wedding day, I was sent MULTIPLE text messages every couple days asking me to write a review. It became such an issue that I finally had to explain that I wouldn't give 5 stars and didn't want to write one if it wasn't good. To my surprise, after all the messages, instead of being asked where she could make improvements or what went wrong, I was simply dismissed. I then decided to try to explain to her what happened and why I felt unhappy, and never even got a response.
Overall, I would personally not recommend this hairdresser, but I cannot speak to the quality of the makeup artists she works with because the only artist who had a portfolio, was unable to attend on my wedding date. This review is only for the hair. Thank you for your time and best of luck on your big day!
