1 /5 Giggle Bytess: I called multiple salons in the area, asking about bridal hair styles and bridal make-up pricing. Each business was charging 400£ up, so I decided to book with Elena von hair, because on the phone Ive been told, theyll do my hair style for 90£ and make-up by professional make-up artist for 150£. I saw these prices acceptable. How wrong i was...
I came over just for them to see my face and hair. They told me I had to do a trial. Ok, I attended trial. Ive been charged for hair 180£ and make-up up 120£. When I left, the hair literally started falling apart. Everything was messy, just not good, I felt that the look they had done on me was just cheap. Cheap look for luxury price. At some point, I was happy I attended the trial session, had an idea what they do and how they do it, because if Ill look like that on the actual wedding day, that would be disaster. Both of the women asked me for pictures, if I have an idea how Ill like to look... Well, I showed them pictures, but that didnt matter. The make-up ,,artist" had her own idea of make-up on me, she didnt care about what I wanted. She wasnt a professional make-up artist, shes just a beginner or somebody who is dreaming of being make-up artist. What she had done on me was poor, cheap looking, and unprofessional. She charged me 20£ for eye lashes, which i couldnt see in my eyes. The foundation she used was not matching my skin and turned super dark and shiny after a couple of hours. Both of them have been doing my hair and face at once, which was depressing, frustrating, painful, and uncomfortable. One of them pulling my hair and another one hitting me with brushes in my face. Rushing, just to save time and make more money. For the actual wedding day, i cancelled my nails appointment there, because they wanted to charge me 200£ for French manicure and pedicure, and I cancelled make-up as well, because I found somebody who actually done my bridal make-up extremely professionally and stunning, the way I wished, for 150£. I attended for hair and been picky, as she charged me again 180£ for almost the same hair style, but the result was nothing even close to what i showed her on the pictures. This place is just typical Eastern Europe womens style. Money money money, thats all they care about. Walking wallet, nothing else. I would avoid even looking at this salon from outside, not even thinking to step inside again.
