I went to Bellezza to get my hair and make-up done for my best friend's wedding that took place in Falmouth. At first I was apprehensive of the salon, not only because it was the m...ost generally expensive option in the town of Falmouth, but also that they charge $20 for lash application, even if you bring your own lashes! I have never experienced this in many years. After the bride had her trial and her make-up done beautifully, I agreed to make an appointment for myself.
My stylist was rushed to get me done quickly but not efficiently, clearly to get on to her next client. My hair didn't look like what I had asked for, but she assured me it would, and that it would stay put despite such a windy day.
I have blonde hair and my roots needed a little coverage in the front after being sprayed with hair spray. My stylist showed me to a highlight root fixing crayon tester. When she picked up the tester for me to use on my hair, it fell to the floor and broke, so she incredulously responded that she couldn't open another and I would have to purchase the crayon for $23... I asked why she couldn't just open one and have it be the tester, and she responded "No, we don't do that here, the tester is different than the actual product." This was of course ridiculous, asking me to pay when she dropped something. I asked if she would ask her manager, who was fine with opening one to be a tester. Was my stylist untrained?
When it came to my make-up, I regrettably paid extra for the lashes for a grand total of $90 for make-up only. As the lashes were drying she says, "after this you're done" - I was shocked! She never added liner or mascara to fuse the fake lashes to my own. When I looked closer the fake lashes weren't even close to my own lashes! It was a half-baked job (at best), something I wouldn't even expect at a salon priced much lower. I ended up asking my friend's make-up stylist to add mascara to my lashes and she responded that everyone learns how to apply lashes differently.
As I was sitting, waiting for my friend's hair and make-up to be done, several of the 75ish bobby pins fell out of my hair, and I wasn't even outside in the wind yet. By this point my stylist was out of site and on with her next client, so she couldn't fix it.
In the end, I'm writing such a long review because I truly hope to save somebody else from the mistake it would be to give this salon your money for hair and make-up. Especially for a wedding - your stress is better spent elsewhere.
