Christie's Commentary

I've just returned from my trial up-do & makeup @ Christie's & Co in Bay Terrace. As promised, here's my feedback.

I LOVED IT! The place is great - the people are super friendly. Took me right away - and gave me a little kimono robe : )

Unlike the first place I went to, the folks at Christie's were very professional and courteous. Liz did my makeup - fantastic personality, very efficient & clearly knowledgable about her work product. She gave me color palette samples to choose from (depending upon my look) and kept a record of everything she used - for next time. She told me that she's done makeup for some of the brides in the Demetrios ads... She told me to observe myself this evening - and write down notes about what I liked most and least. Makeup looks different after the hair is done (and they did my makeup first) - and if I want to change anything, she told me to tell her next time and she'll do it (not one of those - "do it my way I know best" people.)

It was $50 for hair and $45 for makeup.......

: )

Thanks for the follow up but I think I'm going to stick w/the folks @ Christies : )

Its costs the same for both the trial and the day of the wedding! : )

Actually, in the midst of everything I forgot to ask about my MoH (I do not have any bridesmaids besides her). I'd imagine it would be the same for makeup and less for hair b/c she's just a blowout....But I guess I should find that out, eh?

Thanks for your good wishes! : )

Honestly, I don't have it handy. But if you call information for Christies & Co Salon in the Bay Terrace Shopping Center off Bell Blvd in Bayside, you can get their number and exact address. Bella did my hair - such a wonderful woman!

I don't know if their hair people travel but it is really easy to get to.

If all else fails, I'd call "Ask Asa" on Channel 4. Seriously - from a corporate perspective, that is just bad business.
