I scheduled a blow out and makeup application for 8:00 on a Saturday, for engagement pictures. I showed up at 8:00 and loved the place. Very nicely decorated and drinks were offered. I waited for about 15 minutes before the receptionist stated that the girl who was supposed to come in at 8 had a family emergency and wasn't sure if she was coming in or not. She then stated that other girls should be coming in soon. However, those girls had appointments as well. Two customers walked in and were both taken back to have their hair done about 8:45. After asking time wise with the receptionist what I should do, she said she thinks someone will be coming in early and will be able to work on my hair and makeup. FINALLY around 8:55, (my appointment was at 8) Hilary was able to get started on my hair. I had to call my photographer and push back our meeting time for pictures, thankfully he was able to. Hilary came in early and didn't have an appointment until 10. Hilary was amazing, she apologized for my wait, though it wasn't her fault. When I told her I was on a time crunch and didn't need my hair washed she got right into working. It took her about 25 minutes to do my hair. I loved it, I would definitely request her if I were ever going to go back. Another stylist brought her son into work. He didn't have anything to keep him busy and she just constantly yelled at him. He kept requested that she take him to McDonalds and was jumping around the whole place. I went to another girl for makeup, I think her name was Cynthia. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she ran with it. The makeup looked amazing! However, it didn't seem to last long after the pictures and started coming off about 3 hours after application. I left the salon a little after 10. The services were free and I tipped the ladies who worked on my hair and makeup even though the receptionist kept saying it wasn't necessary. I understand that things happen where staff can't make it in, but the salon should be better staffed, especially for appointments. Not all photographers would've been able to push pictures back an hour. I would've rated them 4 or 5 stars if I had been able to get my hair and makeup done at my scheduled time.
