Would NOT recommend this company for wedding hair/makeup (would rate 0 stars if that was an option). Was ghosted up until 5 days before the wedding and then ONLY responded when mul...
tiple people from my wedding party reached out to her. She then admitted she did not have an additional artist and ADMITTED to not being able to complete all the services that was agreed upon in the contract. Please do not waste your time, there are PLENY of other great options to go with.
Avoid at all costs unless you want a nightmare. My wife booked Haley for our wedding. Communication was very poor at best, and she charged us for 3 artists while only 2 showed up. ...
She then gives every excuse in the book about why she can’t pay us back even though she agreed in writing that she would. From the sounds of other reviews, we are lucky she even showed up on the day of the wedding. To be honest, the hair and makeup looked great but professionalism is at an all time low. Probably best to just avoid this nightmare completely and look elsewhere.
Do not book with Haley. I had mixed feelings about my trial as I thought she was acting a little off and actually reached out to another bride on a local FB group who had a good ex...
perience with her. She assured me it was her personality so I went with it. MISTAKE.
On the morning of my wedding, she was supposed to be there at 8am. I received an email at 7:50am from her saying she would not be there and she was sending 2 contracted girls. Apparently they were obtained for my wedding the night before. While they were nice, I looked nothing like I envisioned on my big day and Haley did not follow up when I reached out. She keeps your money and hires out students for much less and pockets the extra for doing NOTHING.
Save your money as she is unreliable and I am not the only bride she has done this to.
After seeing all the raving reviews & seeing her at a wedding vendor show, I went ahead & booked Lily Lux for our August 23rd wedding. I had myself and several bridesmaids wanting ...
make up done.
Communication was fine & trial happened. After that, it went downhill from there. On Friday night, the day before my wedding I received an urgent email stating she was no longer going to make it. I was to receive a full refund or have another artist show up. None happened. I emailed three times after asking what our next steps are. NO RESPONSE.
Today- I recieved a dm from a bride who also had her booked on August 23rd. Literally word from word same exact email. Blows my mind how someone who thinks this is okay to do especially when you trust them for your big day & paid everything beforehand.
DO NOT HIRE.
Haley did a beautiful job on the makeup and hair, but the overall experience was disappointing due to poor communication and failure to meet the terms of the contract. She did not ...
provide all the makeup services that were agreed upon and did not bring the additional artist who was included in the contract. Because of these issues, the day-of timeline had to be completely redone the night before the wedding, adding unnecessary stress to an already busy time. Communication leading up to the wedding was extremely frustrating — emails from the bride often went unanswered or were not addressed in a timely manner. In addition, the refund for the incomplete services was delayed and required multiple reminders from the bride. While the final look was lovely, the lack of professionalism and reliability made the experience much more stressful than it needed to be.
Avoid her if possible. My wife used her services for our wedding back in June. First off, she showed up late by almost an hour for my wives trial. Then, on our wedding day, she did...
n't show up at all. After HOURS of calling and texting her, she lied about sending an email stating that she would be late. We looked at our junk, deleted, spam, and inbox for that email, and there was no email. After our wedding, we asked for a full refund. Haley denied giving us a full refund due to the contract. Luckily, our officant knew a lawyer to review the contract. After the lawyer reviewed the contract, the lawyer said to dispute the charge with the bank, so we did. After disputing, Haley disputed our dispute. Thankfully, the bank sided with us and we got a full refund. Haley you are a liar and a scammer that takes advantage of young adults. You should be glad that we didn't take you to court. You never sent that email and you know it. Let's be honest, you slept in, because who knows why, and you didn't want to admit your unprofessionalism. Shame on you. I can't wait to hear your excuse.
Haley was super accommodating in working with my schedule day of and my trial! She did a great job with my party’s hair and makeup!
I had a wonderful experience with her makeup services. My trial went well; she listened to any changes I wanted and asked for my opinion multiple times. She did a few of my bride...
smaids as well. They were happy with her makeup service. Everyone looked beautiful and I felt the same way.
Hayley was wonderful! We were able to create the vision at the trial, and then adjusted accordingly. My hair doesn't hold curl well and after leaving the trial I let Hayley know it...
didn't stand up to the wind very well.
She took the feedback kindly, and the day of was perfect! My hair stayed together the whole day. Her second did my mom's hair, and she loved it so much she curls it like that now!
The only reason I gave 4/5 is because two of my bridesmaids hair didn't stay very well for the entirety of the day.
From the start, Haley was a fast and clear communicator about logistics, pricing, and my wishes for bridal hair and make up. She was very accommodating with acquiring additional ar...
tists as needed and everyone loved both their hair and make up on wedding day. She was easy to talk to and made me feel so comfortable - which was really important to me as I'm not usually the type to get super glammed up. She worked with me to make the small changes I wanted after the trial and I felt amazing on my wedding day! I would recommend Haley and Lilylux studio for your wedding day if you're looking for a down to earth and comfortable experience, while also receiving hair and make up that looks beautiful and lasts all night long. Thank you!!!!
Absolute amazing beauty artist to work with! Great communication and planning. They came out to Sauk City the morning after a blizzard and were not even a minute late! Highly recom...
mend this team!
I cannot recommend Haley enough! She was absolutely incredible to work with and I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. H+M was something that was a little harder to plan ...
for my wedding because it was in downtown Madison on Homecoming, so I needed someone who would be able to come to our venue downtown.
From the very beginning, Haley was communicative, efficient, and provided a calming presence! Myself, my bridesmaids, and the moms absolutely LOVED our hair and makeup! All of the stylists (Haley, Heather, and Jessica) were incredible- they did a great job taking inspiration from photos, while also customizing it to what everyone wanted.
We all danced the night away and our H+M held up the whole night. I cannot recommend Lilylux studio enough- Haley was a dream to work with and H+M was wonderful!
I signed with Haley early on & a few months later I emailed her to get an idea for start time. I had 5 BMs and me. Haley then told me I would need a 2nd person and it would be a li...
ttle extra $. I was a bit taken back bc this was not mentioned when the contract was signed. I responded to Haley that I would prefer to stay with what we agreed upon with the contract. She said that she would provide the additional artist at no $ to me.
At the trial, I brought some photos in and shared them with her. I'm not someone that wears heavy make-up nor someone that wears it often and I definitely don't know all the correct terms or products. After the trial, I walked out to my car and was disappointed. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt like I looked like a corpse at a funeral viewing. The makeup was SO thick and, though I didn't know the term at the time, it was separating. I texted one of my friends who is big into makeup and asked her if this was how it was supposed to be. She said absolutely not. She explained that the makeup was separating in certain spots & asked what kind of products Haley used (I didn't know) & if she had asked what kind of skin I have (dry or greasy, and yes, she did). I emailed Haley and made a few notes about the hair (although I didn't like the hair from the trial- I did get the sense she knew what she was doing & I wasn't worried about the wedding day) and makeup. Haley responded that she had used a new product & had noticed it was separating during the trial. Red flag. I would hope that any makeup artist would stop things immediately if they noticed something wrong so they could fix it. & isn't that what a makeup trial is for? To see what products do or don't work? I asked Haley if we could do a re-trial of just the face stuff and she wanted to charge me $40 (why should I pay for something that wasn't my mistake??) When I pointed this out, she agreed and we set up another trial primer & foundation trial. It went well - the color was a tad too light but the makeup stuck even through a 3 mile run.
As time got closer, Haley sent out a timeline to me. It listed 7am as start time and had the wrong date on it. Nbd, I responded and let her know. I also asked her if she was arriving at 7 or if I should get there earlier for set up. She said 6:45 arrival. A few weeks later - 3 days before the wedding - she sent out a new schedule with the new date, but with all the girls' times rearranged. I asked her why bc I had already sent out a final schedule to the wedding party. She said we could use the one I had no problem. The new schedule also has 7am listed so I double checked and asked if she was still arriving at 645. She said yes.
Day of the wedding Haley was 10 mins late. I went first. This time, I watched the whole time and asked Qs/comments along the way. The makeup application all went well. Haley is an artist when it comes to eye shadow - it was really beautiful. After makeup, we moved to hair. Haley did a GREAT job. Unfortunately, neither lasted the whole day. Thankfully, I had bridesmaids who were able to recurl and repin and fix makeup by the end of the night (Note, because I went first my hair and makeup were done by 830am. So I guess it's not totally unexpected that it didn't last the whole day. The girls' makeup didn't last either and several had problems with the eyelashes coming off. Note: all bridesmaids had their MU done by Jessica.
Overall I was mostly happy with how things turned out.
I've been apart of many weddings that Haley has done hair and/or make up for and she never disappoints. She's very easy to work with and her prices are very affordable. I recommend...
