My hair was going to be pretty complicated, because I had hair extensions and wanted a certain look that I could not find anywhere in magazines or websites. I had my run-through with my stylist (Jill) and she has had experience with extensions ...before so I felt much better. After explaining the look I wanted, she went for it- and she NAILED it! My hair was perfect!! It also held up all day and nobody knew the extensions were there because I wanted them for extra body and a little length, so we made sure not to make them too obvious and she just did it perfectly. I had my hair off to one side, but she found a way to make the other side not look boring and it just looked beautiful. She also did my makeup and it was great how she listened to me and understood what colors complimented my eyes the best. Then, she even did two other bridesmaids' makeup that were setting there with me, and they didn't even have appointments so she made time for them out of her schedule. She is very talented and great at what she does- I recommend Salon Essentials to every bride or anyone that needs an updo/style!
