Nicole
Bride
"I want to tell you, though, how happy I was with my wedding hair and makeup. I really appreciate the extra effort you took to make to the Hotel Dupont on time given your morning wedding and to fit me, Noelle, and Kathleen all in. And the actual hair & makeup -- I received so many compliments from guests and it looks fabulous in photos! I've had one or two makeovers before and they always made me really pink-toned and the makeup looked so obvious. But not yours, I really loved what you did! Seriously, so satisfied. Made me wish I knew how to do it myself for the future! "
Lisette
Bride
"I was going to email you today to thank you for your wonderful service. I loved my make-up but I especially loved the way you took time to work with me and you were so receptive to all my request. I never felt uneasy with you or felt that you imposed your ideas on me. You were very open to all my suggestions and knew exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for that. That is such an important quality."
