I loved my hair and makeup from the Velvet room, but what I really want to discuss is the professionalism displayed by the owners. One of their makeup artists canceled on me twice (life happens). I was in full panic mode and questioning my choi...

ce. Both owners, Shanice and Marina stepped up to make sure that my hair got done. Shanice offered to personally step in and make sure I could do my trial on the same day as the cancellation. No excuses, but great solutions. In the end, it worked out, and I looked fabulous! Thanks for valuing your customers!

dding was 7 hours away from my home, so there was no hope of retrieving it. Marina didn't miss a beat. She had one of my brides retrieve some flowers from my centerpieces.

I would highly recommend Marina!
