I found Kibana online through Yelp.com. I was having a hard time finding a place that didn't charge an arm and a leg for an updo (especially a bridal one) and their price list seemed reasonable. I brought in pictures for my test run and was SOOO disappointed with how it came out. The pictures I brought were of very classy and elegant low buns, but I got a messy, mass of hair up the back of my head instead. I was REALLY nervous about going back, but I figured the second time had to be better since she had an idea of how to work with my hair and I had taken pictures of the first one so I could tell her what I didn't want.

Well, the second time around (the day of the wedding) was a completely different experience. My hair came out beautifully. Exactly what I was looking for. I don't know what was with that first time, but it was soo much improved for the actual wedding. Thank goodness! My mom and bridesmaids had their hair done here too and I thought they did a very nice job with them all (some were styles the others were updos).

My only complaint was that my trial run cost $75, which was in-line with their online price list. But the day of the wedding, it cost $125. They never mentioned that it would cost double for the wedding day hair. I should have asked, but was already stressed that morning and didn't want to deal with it.

Overall, I was very happy with Kibana.
