I can't even express how disappointing my visit was to this salon. I went during the last couple weeks of Apr. for professional make up application ($25 plus tip). The tech was very friendly (Diane)--I don't know if she was the right professional for the job. I'm a 30-something female who needed a natural look that would bring out the color of my eyes, reflect light off my flaws, & also needed a not-too-shiny foundation.
My first surprise was when the tech told me I should have waxed my eyebrows--not a positive start. 2nd, she began by using concealer, w/out even cleaning my face. After my 3rd attempt at bringing that to her attention in a subtle way, she finally handed me a warm cloth to hold on my lower face.
The lip base tasted rancid, but I honestly thought it was supposed to taste that way. The lipstick itself tasted worse. When I looked in the mirror after the application process, I was using indoor lighting & the colors didn't look right-under my eyes was too light, the eyeshadow seemed 'smeared", instead of professionally blended,& the lipstick was out of my natural lip line.
In my car, I could see even better. She lined my inner eyelids, which made my eyes appear much smaller than what they are naturally. I had to fix the lipstick, and I had to pat at my face, which was shiny. I was having professional photographs done, so I could not go back in and utilize more time spent with the tech. I bought my own mascara, took off the sticky stuff she had applied, and fixed that as well.
My photographer had to constantly wipe the eyeshadow away, as it ran and smeared throughout our session.
I used this salon for my wedding years ago, & had a different tech who gave me such a perfect look, I felt it necessary to use them again for this very important photographing event. However, I won't ever return again.
A call later put me w/an empathetic receptionist, who mentioned their eyeshadow should Not run, & perhaps the make up was expired--She took my number & no one bothered to follow up.
