I went to Alpine Spa for my wedding day hair and make-up, and I had such a GREAT experience. \r
\r
First, Heather did my make-up. She was really friendly and first we talked about the look I was going for (natural or dramatic, etc.). She asked my input on colors at several points in the session, which was nice. She did an especially good job on my eyes - they looked great. You could tell I was wearing make-up, but it wasn't overdone. In the end, I was so pleased with how my face looked. Plus, it definitely lasted all night - I didn't have to touch up anything! I just got my professional pictures back and the make-up was perfect.\r

After make-up, I had my hair done by Misty. She is super nice and I had met her previously when I dropped off a picture of what I wanted. She did a wonderful job and I got SO many compliments on my hair! My hair is very straight and slippery, so I wondered ahead of time if an up-do would hold - and it did! She knew EXACTLY how to ""engineer"" the hairstyle so that it would be secure. When I shook my head, it felt totally safe - nothing was moving. But at the same time, I DIDN'T have a crusty head full of hair spray, which was great! My hair still looked soft and shiny in my pictures.\r
\r
The owner is also very kind and accomodating. He was always available when I called to confirm, or when I stopped by. I have no complaints about Alpine Spa! I would TOTALLY recommend it to anyone. In addition, my mother had her make-up done on the wedding day and was very happy. Finally, my mother and four of her friends also had mani/pedis done the day before the wedding, and they loved the nail service, too! \r

I'm surprised that others had a negative experience here! Mine was great!
