Queens or staten island for make up
Ok well tomorrow is helen's wedding and I am a BM. Just getting a wash and blow dry for hair bc its real short and just cut it again yesterday so not much else i can do. But i am definitely getting my make up done. I thought i would go to christie's & co. Still might go but trying to think of other options. i was wondering if i should do it in SI instead. DH and i are leaving early from queens to check into the hotel and get ready there.
I personally cant think of anyone that is real good with make up in astoria or forest hills, christies is the only place that comes to mind. Do you know of any other places?
Or if you know a real good place in SI, i might get it done there.

well youve used christie's & con so let me ask you...would you try spectrym or recommend sticking with christie's. Its stupid why im even considering a different place, but only reason is bc i feel its the opposite direction of where im going and gonna backtrack but eh its not that far so shouldn't be bad.
Plus the price for make up at christie's is real good and i know they do good work. Guess i just have to make sure i get out of there on time

I wouldn't switch. If I found a place I really like why take the chance? Try Lisa at Christie's I really liked her!

youre right, i actually had someone else cut my hair yesterday, and i should've just waited until the girl who originally cut my hair was back at work. I would've waited but i wanted to cut my hair for helens wedding bc it started looking a bit messy. Its not what i really asked for and it needs to be fixed bc one side is a bit messed up and not straight. I just hope it wont be noticeable tomorrow
Yeah after my experience yesterday i should stick to someone i know will do a great job. Thanks for the recommendation

thank you so much. I have to really figure out the timeline right now. I know what time i have to be at the hotel by but gotta figure out what time i have to make a make up appointment for, what time to leave queens and all that. Dh wants to leave at noon from queens which would mean i need to get hair and make up started around 10:30-11am and not sure if i want to that early

Re: Queens or staten island for make up
if you go to classique dont go to katie joe - not sure if she still works there, she probably does not, but i used to work with her back in the day at another salon and she wasnt that great
i heard that Bea from BeaBeautiful is supposed to be a good make up artist but i have never been there so im not sure.....but SI wedding forums talk about her alot

Re: Queens or staten island for make up
thank you ladies. Looks like i might stick with christie's. Im gonna call Dh to go over timeline for tomorrow and then decide, its either christies or getting my make up done in SI. I'd prefer to get it done early afternoon so its more fresh when we take pics, rather than getting it done in the morning but also dont want to rush to get back to the hotel, we have to start taking pics between 3-4pm
