Gayla was so easy to work with. She took her time and explained everything she was doing. Her shop above the garage was adorable and it was easy to get to. She made me feel at ease when I got my spray tan and explained the post process very well. When she did my makeup... WOW! I actually was beautiful because of her! She told me I was already beautiful, so she enhanced my beauty! So nice of her to say that.
Gayla did an amazing job all around and I have referred many of my friends to her! GO GAYLA!

Gayla goes above any level of beauty I have experienced. She is great at what she does and will work with you to fulfill your dreams. I have used her many times and never had one complaint about my make up or spray tan. I recommend giving her a call for any occasion you have coming up!!!

Took Money and Canceled Week Prior to Wedding

Gayla is extremely unprofessional and was very rude. She took my $100 deposit and then canceled a week before the wedding and only refunded me $40. She stated she didn't break the contract because she canceled prior to day of the wedding. Per her contract, if she had to cancel she would have to pay me for canceling which of course she did not honor. I had booked her months before wedding and she canceled a week before, leaving the wedding party with no make up artist. I went for a trial prior to the wedding and the way she did the makeup was way too heavy and looked ridiculous. I am very fair skinned and I didn't want to look like a painted clown. When I told her I didn't like it that way she seemed to get angry. My mom also went for a trial and asked her to change some things with the make up and she did not like that. She told us how she was an artist and she knew best....but don't you want the people to feel good and look good in their makeup?!?! She seemed to have a better than attitude like I didn't know what I was talking and she knew how to make me look good. After the trial she then sent me a text canceling right before the wedding, I believe it was all because I asked her to lighten my make up and not put it on so heavy. She charged me $60 for the trail after she canceled and so she only refunded me $40 from the deposit. I wouldn't trust her!! Do not use her!! She is far from an artist and her make job was awful!!
