Vanity Belle

Taylor provided an exceptional hair and makeup experience for my wedding day. She demonstrated professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and completed everything promptly, exactly the way I wanted it. After mentioning a minor concern, which I dismissed seconds later, she graciously made the adjustment to absolute perfection. It was truly a delightful experience!

Aimee-Beth and Karissa were absolutely amazing!! Starting with my trial they were both so attentive and took the time to understand what I was looking for. They were happy to try different things to make sure everything was exactly how I envisioned. I have long thick hair and Karissa took her time and had so much patience and care with it. On the day of my wedding, they showed up on time and with such a calm demeanor. We were having some issues getting music going and Aime-Beth was prepared and quickly set something up. They both went above and beyond in making sure the vibe in the room was calm and positive and not chaotic or stressful. I had a large group and they stayed on schedule. They even finished a bit earlier than expected and took time offering touch ups. Thank you Vanity Belles for such a great experience.

After the first fiasco I had trying to book hair and makeup for my wedding, Vanity Belle came in clutch! I know how difficult it can be having two brides but Jonathan was great with the initial communication and schedule. Danielle was a sweetheart not getting frustrated with multiple day of schedule changes after bridesmaids dropped off.

Both myself and my bride looked amazing! Our hair by Denise staying in place for the entire day and throughout our all night dancing! Allison our makeup artist was perfect I asked for more of a natural look and she was able to accommodate everything I wanted.

I'm not big on hair and makeup and they made it a smooth process from the beginning. Keep in mind there are extra changes for locations further out and early start times, but when it was all said and done a little over $2k with tip for 2 brides , 5 bridesmaids hair and 3 bridesmaid makeup services.

I was a bridesmaid recently in a wedding and the bride hired Jennifer, Stephanie, and Taylor. Taylor worked on my hair and makeup and she had a terrible attitude the entire day. I felt like I was being scolded again and again even though we had plenty of time. I would not recommend her for happy occasions in the future. Such a buzz kill!

The artists at Vanity Belle did a fantastic job with the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for the wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful we all looked and I felt like I got the wedding look I had envisioned perfectly! Stephanie and Jennifer did my bridal makeup and some of the other bridesmaids as well as Taylor did bridesmaids as well. My only negative was that a few of my bridesmaids told me that Taylor had a bad attitude when working with them. Otherwise, everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend Vanity Belle for your bridal hair and makeup :)

Jennifer and Stephanie did an incredible job on myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding! They were on time, worked ahead of schedule, and were very professional and sweet. They truly did an incredible job and I would recommend them, and Vanity Belle to any upcoming bride!

Aimee-Beth ad Krystal were absolute dreams come true! They were professional, efficient, and fun to talk to while they did our hair and make-up. All of my bridesmaids and I pretty much looked the same from the beginning of the day to the end of the night -- no smudgy makeup, and no flat hair. Despite hugging dozens of guests and pressing the side of my head against a ton of shoulders, my curls held up all night! Krystal gave me tips on how to make my hair easier to work with, and did a fantastic job bringing my vision to life. And the makeup, OH, the makeup! Aimee-Beth did a great job accommodating my bridesmaids requests without letting us get too carried away. She communicated to us why she made certain decisions, explaining how well the make up shows up in photographs and how well it'd last through the night. We felt like princesses the whole night. Thank you so much, you two!

Unfortunately, this is a 1 star review...If I could give it less than 1 star I would.
I originally reached out to Vanity Belle via phone on 12/6 to request hair and makeup for 12/20. I left a detailed messaged and asked for a call back. On 12/7, I got a text asking me to go online which I did. I submitted my request and received a reply go online and submit my info again. I did it immediately and just waited. I was told that the date was available and that was confirmed online through their booking system.

Finally on 12/13, I received another link to confirm my services. I followed the prompts and didn't hear back from them until later that day. I began to email back and forth with Jonathan Nino who is their Bridal Director.

He asked for the times and I told him. Keep in mind, I'm assuming they are available like they previously stated. 2 days later on 12/15 he replies with "I'm sorry, I no availability for the 20th:(" that is a direct copy and paste from our email thread. So, now you aren't available when you said you were? I was counting on them and didn't contact anyone else for services.

I asked if he had anyone else who might be available and the reply was curt. He just replied with "No:( Sorry!"

No follow-up, no courtesy and completely unbothered.

Thankfully I found someone MUCH better in my area who was polite, professional and answered quickly.

At first I was so bothered by this but after looking at the reviews, I'm glad it didn't work out. I can't imagine having to deal with their unprofessionalism and sub par work.

If Jonathan is a Director and this is the kind of customer service I'm receiving from the lead...no thanks. It's a hard pass for me.

Lesson learned! Don't believe everything you see on Instagram.

TLDR: My trial was a failure on all levels (expectations, safety, results & experience)

Expectations: I booked hair & makeup and was confirmed with two people, Michelle (makeup) & Krystal (hair). When I showed up, only Krystal was there with no explanation. On my wedding day, to stay on schedule, I need two people so this was an immediate problem. This felt like a bait & switch.

Expectations part 2 & Safety: VB has a long list of COVID rules in their confirmation email, including wearing a mask at all times until makeup needs to be applied to the lower half of your face. None of the precautions were followed & for the majority of my appointment I was the only one wearing a mask. Krystal immediately told me I didn't need to wear one, then condescendingly said "you know you'll have to take it off anyway for makeup."

Results: The hair could have worked, with some feedback. It's not full enough and it fell more almost immediately. Krystal curled, teased and then bobby pinned the style. I have thick, long, heavy hair so some sort of structure beyond bobby pins was needed (hidden braid maybe).
The makeup was terrible. Not only did the foundation start to flake immediately, it looked nothing like my inspiration picture. The eyelids were just a wash of peachy color, no shading. She didn't bother to contour my face at all. My brows were barely touched. The lipstick clashed with the eye shadow. I felt at that point she just wanted the appointment to be over.

Experience: I don't know if it was the mask thing or just a bad day, but Krystal barely talked to me during my 2.5 hours in the salon, including not asking much about my hair or skin. The skin situation clearly resulted in worse results (dry patchy areas immediately after application). The other bride doing a trial at the same time had two providers who were cheerful & chatty. That's the energy I need on my wedding morning.

Overall: 1/10 what a waste of time & money. My biggest issue is the lack of follow through on what was promised (2 providers, COVID rules). Do what you say, say what you do.

Great customer service and wonderful, talented professionals who work there. I highly recommend Vanity Belle for anyone looking for make up and hair services!
