Hair/Makeup...Anyone use Elana recently?

I booked a trial with Elana, before many of the posts about her started rolling in! I heard of her through this web site. I know the topic of Elana keeps on coming up, and it is getting a bit old but...I want to hear of the most recent Elana experiences. Was she on time? Did she finish in two hours or less? Was she dressed appropriately?I have to admit after reading some of the posts about her I'm very concerned-but I still went through with the trial. Pauline is booked on my day, and I love the idea of having someone with me that day until the first dance. I thought Elana was very nice at my trial, she did take a long time and said it was b/c we were talking and it would be shorter on the wedding day-but I'm sure I'll be nervous and talking alot that day! She put a lot of cover up on- but I'm confident she will tone it down if I ask her too. I don't want to spend money for a second trial unless I'm going to use her and it will help the day of. I would like to hear from some people who used her after deanna wrote, and I want to know about your experiences with her on the actual wedding day. Thanks

I am using her April 12th 2002 and I will let you know..

I will be using her and I will let you know how it goes. I also have some pictures of my trial if anyone is interested. http://www.snapfish.com/slideshow/AlbumID=3680206/PictureID=59836808/t_=7661

Bride-to-Be I am using Elena as well......

I would love to see your trial pictures but for some reason I cannot access them. They are asking for a name and password. If you want I can send you my e-mail address. Thank you.

Thank you Bride-to-Be I just sent you an e-mail *NM*

Any others who do this? (LONG)

Three of my friends used Pauline (I was in two of the Bridal parties) and although she did great work... I thought she was totally obnoxious to everyone else. Plus, she came dressed for the wedding (in the church) in a tight miniskirt and tank top. It was hot that day, but still kind of inappropriate. If possible can I have Elena's number or where to get it? Or if anyone knows of other people, that would be great. (thanks!)

Any others who do this? (LONG)

Here is Elena's telephone number: 516-484-8473. Good luck!!

Any others who do this?

I highly recommend looking into Jillian from Gorgeous Faces. Her website is on liweddings.

Briedetobe-Pictures from Elana trials

I couldn't view your pictures. Can you email them to me at [email protected] Thanks. SHe took one picture of me at the trial and I like the way the picture looks. In real life it was a bit cakey...but I guess it's hard to look perfect in the pictures and real life. I'll try to scan the picture in tonight and email it to you.

I'm using Elena on Friday for my wedding. I will report back *NM*

Does Jillian stay till the ist dance? *NM*

Yes Jillian does stay for the first dance!
