    Elegant wedding day glam!

    When looking for hair and makeup artists for my wedding on 8/1/20, Alba Beauty Studio was highly recommended by a friend of mine who got married in 2019 and they did not disappoint! Sarah, Jessica, and their team brought everything they needed for the on-site services for my entire bridal party, mother, aunt, grandmother, and myself. They flawlessly made each person look glamorous yet themselves. Everyone loved their hair and makeup! Sarah recreated a beautiful blend of styles I loved for my wedding day hair and Jessica perfectly designed a natural makeup look for my wedding day makeup. If you are looking for talented and professional makeup and hair stylists for your wedding day, Alba Beauty Studios will make your day memorable!

    A big thank you to Sarah, Ashley, and the rest of the crew for their part in making my daughter's wedding day a big success! They did a fantastic job and were organized and kept on schedule which was important for a group of 10 girls plus 2 moms! The trial also went well. They listened to what my daughter wanted and they delivered. We also rented the upstairs room which worked out well, giving the 9 bridesmaids the needed space to spread out. We highly recommend you check them out!

    I am SO happy that I went with Cincy Style Bar for my hair and makeup. It was a great value, and the girls did a fabulous job for our May 2016 wedding (Andrea for makeup, Melissa for hair). They were prompt, friendly, and paid a lot of attention to detail. I felt beautiful that day, and all of my girls looked STUNNING! I was ecstatic with the outcome and quality of service!!

    Andrea Flannery did my wedding makeup and it was an all around amazing experience. Not only was my makeup flawless, but she was very easy to work with! She was very professional, reliable, and communicative. After my trial I had no worries because she listened to my opinion on how I wanted to look for my day, but also made suggestions in specific areas where I wasn't sure what I wanted (lip color, blush color, etc.) She even worked around the fact that I had a big wedding party (11 people including myself) by bringing an assistant to make sure they finished in time without being rushed. All of my bridesmaids were just as impressed and one is even interested in booking her for her upcoming wedding in September. 5 stars for Andrea Flannery!

    She did an excellent job. I have never had my make up look so good and stay on the whole day and night. She put on the perfect amount where I wasnt all made up. I would highly recomend her. Thanks again for Andrea for helping make my big day flawless and great.

    Andrea Lauren Beauty was very punctual, professional & delivered exactly the type of service I had hoped for. On my wedding day it was 101 degrees, the type of day where you walk outside and instantly begin dripping sweat. I felt as if I looked a mess, but every picture turned out perfect and you couldn't see an ounce of sweat on my face...everything remained flawless! I got countless compliments about how simple but beautiful my makeup looked, which is exactly what I was going for. Andrea also did my bridesmaids' makeup and they were equally impressed. I would reccomend Andrea Lauren Beauty to any bride-to-be; it's a guarantee to look beautiful no matter what the weather!

    What a make-up genius! Andrea made me and my bridesmaids look so beautiful. And she took all the stress out of getting make-up done by coming to our house for trials and the day of. Highly recommended!

    Low standards on their quality of service!

    SEE PICS ON YELP!!!!

    Colorist (Tam)did not apply highlights to root of the hair after 6 hours in chair during a pandemic!!! COLOR WAS APPLIED APPROXIMATELY 1" AWAY FROM THE ROOT IN VARIOUS PATCHES AT THE CROWN , HAIRLINE AROUND FACE, SIDES AND BACK OF HEAD).
    My highlights looked like something that would be expected from Great Clips or a student in hair school NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM AN UPSTANDING HYDE PARK SALON.

    Client for over 5 years ...COLORIST (KATIE) WAS OUT OF TOWN AND INSTEAD TRIED ALBA's RECOMENDED COLORIST (Tam) for a full foil.
    I had never experienced a problem with Katie as my stylist in the past so I paid for service (with an assurance that they would make it right) and I was asked to return.

    I arrived at the corrective appointment (1st available 10 days later) to learn they did not book enough time to fully correct (would only do part and hairline around the face; and could not correct the dark patches throughout my scalp that were not colored to the root)
    I was told I would need to make an appointment for a third trip of corrective color. I expressed my frustration and disappointment to the manager (Sarah) who was to perform the corrective color as I was disappointed with their lack of courtesy for my time and their disregard of their responsibility to correct their error. I spent another 2 hours while she partially corrected my part and hairline on sides of face. I was then called the next day and told I abused the staff and made clients uncomfortable; that they would not correct color...refund money.

    DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY HERE!! THERE IS NO COMMITMENT OF MAINTAINING A HIGH LEVEL OF SERVICE AND NO LOYALTY TO LONG TERM CUSTOMERS!!!
