Working with Tracy was a sea of red flags that ended with her and her assistant arriving to my wedding 30 minutes late and ultimately running an hour late per her own schedule for ...
the day. She was also over 30 minutes late to my trial which she had rescheduled to be only 2 weeks before my wedding and she showed up without airbrush makeup which I had specifically requested and paid for. The trial hair was nice, and she said she remembered what I wanted then confidently met 0 of 3 low bar requirements for my wedding day hairstyle that I discussed with her but there was no time to try and fix it. I was so disappointed.
She couldn’t remember a single thing that we discussed, even 4 days after she had sent me an email acknowledging and reiterating what had been communicated to her. She pushed one of my bridesmaids into reshaping her eyebrows and then used a shaver on them without permission when the bridesmaid said she would rather pluck if they needed to be adjusted.
The only positive thing was that my makeup did look nice day of, but it wasn’t worth the stress of working with Tracy (who proactively apologized for her lateness with a $100 refund on $1850 of services).
I don’t like posting bad reviews for small businesses but I feel the need to warn other brides about the difficulty of working with her. There were a lot of deeply unprofessional things that happened
I highly recommend Tracy. She is very talented and a joy to work with. Tracy did my hair and makeup for engagement photos and wedding + the bridal party for the wedding. She is ve...
ry talented and we all felt our best and she is great at incorporating feedback and preferences. I hope to have many more occasions to hire her in the future.
Tracie did an amazing job on my bridal makeup as well as the mother of the bride makeup! My day started off rough, the person who was supposed to do my hair didn't show up and I ha...
d to go to a salon who did an awful job and Tracie even offered to fix my hair since she could see I was so upset! She was at the venue before I even arrived, and she was able to do both of our makeup in a small window of time. She gave me a little bag with extra lipstick just in case but not one time did I have to check my makeup in the mirror or reapply anything. It turned out wonderful and I felt the way every bride should feel on their big day, beautiful. Tracie is your girl for all your big day hair and makeup needs!
Tracy was a delight in all the chaos of wedding planning & the wedding day itself. Being fairly particular about my own hair/makeup because of unique features, I was really wary wh...
en looking for a hair/makeup artist for my wedding day & though I was skeptical for awhile, Tracy was always very prompt in responding to my concerns/thoughts whether it was through email or texts.
We had a scheduling issue initially for my bridal trial for hair/makeup, but she was able to communicate with me that everything would work out on the wedding day (seeing as I am an out-of-town bride) as I went flying out the door to make another wedding appointment that weekend; I felt 100x better after meeting in person & really going over what I wanted versus what also would be necessary to come out in photos. I am pretty sure Tracy & I have an email thread 100 emails long with me asking about various products, styles, & consultation just because the world of hair extensions & the like were so foreign to me (thank you sooo much for the recommendation!). Tracy will tell you how it is & help you achieve what you are looking for the best way she can & also understands the nature of a budget! She was SO helpful in this, on top of everything else.
On the wedding day itself, Tracy brought an extra artist than what we agreed to, which was very helpful in terms of timing & really appreciated. We all had a blast getting ready with Tracy & her team & my bridesmaids adored her; she was very forthcoming about trying new styles out & how we could achieve looks by going through photos & playing around when necessary--it was very appreciated.
All my bridesmaids & myself loved our hair & makeup (with suggestions given when we were unsure or hesitant about boldness, but reassured about our decisions especially based on photography); they were of all various styles, yet, all complemented each other as one cohesive group. I've never felt so beautiful after a hair/makeup session & am so satisfied with my entire experience with Tracy & her team; it really felt like a bunch of girlfriends getting ready for a special day, Tracy & her team included :)
Thank you so much for trumping my fears of hiring hair/makeup artists, especially on a day that really counted! xx
