I was referred to Fallon during a chance encounter, and I could not have been more fortunate. Fallon and her team not only made me and my friends and family look amazing, but they worked professionally and efficiently, creating a pre-wedding at...mosphere that was worry free.
At first, I had no idea how to being searching for a hair and makeup artist. While I was out at a neighborhood restaurant, I struck up a conversation with an employee. I asked her how she found a hair and makeup artist, and she emphatically recommended Fallon to me, who did her hair. She showed me the pictures, and the bride looked stunning - an effortless, romantic and soft look with natural looking curls that accentuated the bride's features and style. I was sold!
I immediately contacted Fallon for a trial. We spent nearly an hour trying variations of 3 to 4 styles. She looked at my dress photos, talked to me about my vision and my style. We quickly settled on a style for the wedding day. During makeup, she created a natural look that enhanced my own features rather than making me look like someone I'm not.
Between wedding day and the trial, I had purchased hair adornments and my veil. We talked about it over the phone and played with the hair piece during a haircut appointment (I liked her so much, I decided she had to do my hair cut and color too!). She helped balance my vision with a realistic plan that fit my hair texture and length, and left me excited for the day to come together.
On the wedding day, I was perhaps most impressed with the planning she put into it. Her team was excellent, and my family and friends looked amazing! Fallong has a strong industry knowledge that allowed her to create a schedule for every single woman in my bridal party (myself plus 6 for some combo of hair/makeup). The schedule allowed extra time for surprises and was ample enough to avoid stress or anxiety about being late, and she considered my timelines with the venue and the photographer, too. She also gave me a plan to distribute to everyone so they knew how to prepare for the appointment (do's/don'ts), and since she traveled to us at ou rhotel, she gave me a list of what type of space/equipment she needed (number of chairs, tall chairs if possible for makeup, number of outlets) and was flexible to work with the space I could provide.
As far as price/value, I found Fallon to fall in the average range. I found vendors much cheaper and others far more pricey. I thought that the quality of her service and the skill of her team was well worth the cost. After all, they spent 4-5 hours with us working straight through and providing a service we could never do for ourselves. And the peace of mind I had that the day would run smooth was priceless.
I would recommend Fallon and her team over and over again. High quality, skilled, creative and the ability to make you look your very best. I was so pleased. I wish I could post a photo!
