I may be a little biased because I had been going to Janie to get my hair done for probably a year and a half before I got married, but honestly developing that relationship and having her know my hair really well and being super honest and ope...n with me from the first moment I walked in all the way up to my trial and then my wedding, it made it SUCH a seamless process. Carmen did my makeup, and Michelle did my mother's MOB makeup, and they were both amazing. My mom loved how hers turned out so much, she's now an Aveda convert and loves their products - she goes out of her way to buy them! I think the best thing about Something You is kind of in their name - everyone there listens to what you want but also strives to maintain an open and honest relationship with their client about what will be possible for their special day and beyond. They won't slap colors on you that don't suit your skin tone, they won't force you into a ridiculously fancy up-do if it's just not who you are (Janie actually talked me out of mine even though several of my friends were pushing for me to have one, because it just wasn't my true style), and I can guarantee you just won't find a salon like Something You no matter where you go. They're pretty incomparable. I'm not sure about them being "pricey" for Central Illinois, though, because for 5 of us to get hair done, and 2 of us to get makeup done, it was a very, very reasonable expense. I love looking back at photos and just admiring how my hair and makeup turned out that day.
(if you're on the fence about airbrush make up - DO IT - it's totally worth it, especially for summer weddings.)
