    Hi Bees,

     

    So, I had everything set with the makeup/hair stylist I had spoken to months and months ago who came recommended by my cousin. She would be coming to my hotel and doing hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mom and myself. I scheduled my makeup/hair trial about 2-3 weeks ago with her for this next weekend. Today, she calls me to say she has double booked herself for the day of my wedding. I was in complete shock---I reiterated that I had spoken to her almost a YEAR ago about the wedding and now about 3 months out she says she's double booked and didn't realize it. She recommended someone else who when I inquired from people who knew her said "she was a joke." I won't be going to her. 

    Bees, I need your help in finding a new makeup/hair stylist for my wedding. Let me know if you have any recommendations for the LA/Pasadena area. Thanks!!!

    Hope this thread will help.  I'm still hunting for mine, so I'm no real help.  You might want to post in the LA board for more of a local search

    Kacee Geoffroy is amazing, seriously.  She was recommended to me by my photographer, and she did a fantastic job at my wedding.  She lives in Riverside, but her travel fee to my LA wedding was completely reasonable.  Let me know if you need any more information or want to see pictures or anything!  Good luck finding someone!

    I went with my friend's recommendation, Elaine Chou, but my photographer used Nicole Deanne in O.C. for her wedding and and highly recommended her. Both travel, of course, with a fee. Good luck!
