Leslies Arts

ture wife had been doing up to this point was awful and how much harder it would be to make her look good day of if she didn't purchase the thousand dollars worth of skin and hair products from Leslie. The hair and makeup trial was extensive but her "suggestions" always ended up with why what we had been doing before was wrong and why we should do it Leslie's way when going over skin care she made me feel completely awful for the products I was using because they weren't hers and instead of having a beauty day I had a self conscious see all my flaws kinda day. Calls 2 1/2- 3 1/2 hours. Everything I did was wrong. Or a “good effort.” She always had a product that she “recommended” for me but was always just a sales tactic. Always about money, I didn’t feel the need to pay over $400 for a quote trial run” when I had already paid for most of the service. Every time I met her, she would try to add on other elements like hair pieces even though I had told her I had my own she didn’t think they would be as good as hers. Skincare- I have very sensitive skin and had been seeing a licensed aesthetician before then, but had taken a vacation to tropical climate just before I saw Leslie to “fix” my eyebrows. I told her I had been breaking out a little bit more than usual. On our first call, I could tell that she had a strong energy and was very opinionated, but seem to respect what I had to say, even though we hadn’t actually agreed on anything. Other than me paying her 60% of whatever service she would end up giving us. For the second call,  I had told her that I had gone with a more simple skin care routine because I’m so sensitive and her answer to my routine was “good effort” or “that’s a nice try” She would try to sell me on her products, and stress that whatever other treatment I was getting was so they could make a quick buck.  I ended up rescheduling my eyebrow appointment because I had a stye in my eye from stress due to the wedding, she made it a bigger deal than it needed to be every time I saw her after that my eye was brought up and that I was lucky she could work on it. On the day of no one would have been able to tell that I had a stye, but she had to keep bringing it up. Because of my stye, I ended up having a small bald spot on my eyelash line and she had to keep repeating how lucky I was that she could get the eyelashes to connect to the skin. Overall, I just don’t need to be reminded, multiple times, about specific flaws, especially ones that I’m already aware about.  While doing my hair she also had to comment multiple times about how thin my hair was. As well as how hard it was to complete my braid. I had asked for a loose boho braid with 2 braids on one side and one on the other. But during the process, I was told time and time again that my hair was very thin and that I was lucky that she could do this braid. I will say from my own experience. I have done much more difficult braids on my own hair so was just confused and annoyed about why a professional would think this was hard. Once I had gotten to the venue and she wasn’t there I had my bridesmaids fixed and fluff my braid how I wanted it to be because Leslie wouldn’t create more of a messy braid.
