I have a hard time figuring out how best to rate my experience with Mon Sheri Beauty. The results of my hair and makeup on the day of my wedding were great. My girls looked great and I couldn't have been happier on my wedding day. I owe it a...ll to Nicole (hair) and Liz (makeup). The process to get there, however, was not as good. I went for my first hair and makeup trial and left unsatisfied. My makeup looked good but during the hair trial, the stylist continued to critique my mom’s hair. The critiques were unprovoked and unwanted. It was completely unprofessional and although my mom took it in stride, I was not happy with the experience or with how she did my hair. Sheri did agree to find me another stylist and thankfully it wound up working out well in the end. Regarding the makeup trial, I liked the way it looked and asked to move forward with booking the makeup artist while trying to lock in another hair stylist. Sheri agreed and a month later I was told she could no longer do my makeup because a family wedding had been planned for the same day (only a month away). Now, I understand things come up and I can be flexible. I was disappointed but willing to work with her on figuring it out. I was supposed to have my hair trial on the day I found out I needed a new makeup artist. On top of finding out I was starting from scratch again with both, the hair trial got cancelled because the timing for her didn't work anymore. I was looking forward to that day not only to hopefully finalize my hair stylist, but because I was going in for a dress fitting. I thought it would be great to have my hair done and see what it would all look like. With the appointment cancelled, Sheri rescheduled my makeup trial with Liz so I was able to accomplish something. The trial started off awkwardly as Sheri never explained what had happened just hours before to the new makeup artist. Innocently and unknowingly, she called me another “late planner” while we were doing the trial. The awkwardness could have been avoided… The good news was that my makeup trial with Liz was great. I was so happy with the job she did, and she was wonderful to work with. A week later, I finally got a hair trial set and I really liked how it turned out. The bad news had finally ended.
All in all, in spite of Sheri I was very satisfied with the end result of my hair and makeup. Liz and Nicole were phenomenal and I would use them any time. However, if I couldn't have Liz or Nicole, I WOULD NOT use Mon Sheri Beauty again. If you use Mon Sheri, please make sure to keep your records straight regarding pricing and what is included in the package. I asked what the name of the lip stain was that Liz used on me during the trial and Sheri told me not to worry that I could buy it from her on my wedding Day. I looked back at the contract and saw that it was included in the bridal package. After I sent an email back with the contract highlighted, Sheri agreed to have it available at no cost. Just be weary!
