Organic Beauty Salon & Spa

and the end products were largely good. Everyone seemed happy with their hair, but not everyone was happy with their makeup, myself included. I was unhappy with the first 3 lip colors she put on me, despite being clear I wanted pink and providing pictures. I did end up getting the right color in the end, but it took a lot of advocating by myself and my sister (maid of honor) in order to end up with something I liked, and caused us to run 20 mins late and my lip color was not dry by the ceremony. I was on the verge of crying during the lip makeup process. I was trying to let Angela guide me based on her expertise, but the colors were wrong multiple times once they were on my lips. It did not seem like Angela understood what I wanted and that she was trying to steer me away from what I wanted. It did make for a funny moment with my husband when I wiped the lip color off him after our first kiss, which was cute, but it would have been better if it had dried (if Angela had gotten the color right the first or second time). After the ceremony, I wiped off the lip makeup because I didn't want to deal with it. The time management seemed a bit off, because I was rushed in the end and everyone else was done. She heat set my hair first, but she returned to me a bit too late in my opinion. Everyone else was done and I was not finished (even setting aside the lip color issue), which was not the plan. I was supposed to be done close to the end, but not the last. My mom had to have her makeup done 3 times because she was not happy with it. The person doing her makeup did not seem like she understood what my mom wanted. The lip color was also wrong for one of my bridesmaids. On the day of, she initially charged me based on the new prices and not what was in my contract. If I hadn’t already calculated the cost myself before the day, I would have potentially paid her more than I should have, because on the day of, things are chaotic and we were running behind due to the lip color issue and I needed to pay her and get to the venue urgently. I got my hair cut at her salon 2 times prior to the wedding and she was helpful in guiding me to get more protein in my hair and to prevent breakage by using silk hair ties, a silk pillow case, and silk on my head for hats/under my hockey helmet. I did see a noticeable improvement in my hair leading up to the big day! The hair and makeup trial went pretty well. I requested my sister get her hair done as well on the same day because it was something fun for us to do together as an experience for the wedding. Ultimately, Angela did accommodate my sister getting her hair done as well (for a fair cost), but it did take some back and forth and Angela seemed hesitant to do that. I think she could have been more accommodating. In the end, it all worked out and I think the bridesmaids, moms, and I looked and felt beautiful, but there was some undue stress that could have been prevented in my opinion.
