First, let me just say that I am usually very calm, very organized, and VERY type-A. But when it came to picking my wedding dress I was an absolute mess. I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, what my price range was, what styles I liked..., or what color I wanted. The only thing I knew for sure was that I was nervous as all get out and an anxious mess.
Enter Janet and Aisha. During my first appointment, Janet was VERY patient and helped me narrow down a lot of things. In that one appointment, I learned so much about wedding gowns, how the ordering process works, what to look for, and what to expect. We tried on countless dresses without me feeling rushed or uncomfortable. I am a curvy girl and she managed to nip, tuck and slide every inch of me into a sample dress that by all rules of the universe should have split at the seams just from me looking at it. I felt like a princess but most importantly I felt like a bride.
I still was unsure of what I was going for (at no fault to Janet) so I did not purchase at my first appointment. After a lot of Google searches and Pinterest themed prayer, I made another appointment a few months later and was assigned to Aisha. They were having a trunk show for a designer I thought I liked and dress that I was pretty sure I loved. Aisha started as my consultant but ended as my BFF! Just like Janet, she made me feel very comfortable, squeezed me into that poor sample dress, dolled me up, and made me feel like a million bucks. I ended up ordering "THE dress" that day. Aisha didn't blink an eye when I shed a tear and feigned a heart attack as she slid my credit card to cover the deposit (spending money hurts lol) -- in fact she gave me a discount which was an act of kindness I did not take lightly. Nor did she bat an eye when I told her the size she wanted to get was way too large. She treated me as a friend instead of a customer.
When my dress came in, they were super flexible with my appointment times, a few of the ladies helped me try it on and came to comment on it, and everything was perfect (including the size -- lady knows what she's doing)! Aisha even remembered me and asked about my daughter (who was at the second appointment).
I would recommend this salon to any and everyone and will sing their praises from the rooftops. Thank you Janet, Aisha, and the rest of you lovely ladies for a wonderful once in a lifetime opportunity!
