Angelo made my hair look beautiful and did intricate braid-work, even better than I had imagined! I can't say the same for my bridesmaids and mom, who were worked on by two assistants. At least two bridesmaids had to have their hair totally redone, and they did something really crazy to my mom's hair and didn't seem to notice. It was clear they had another gig to get to and were rushing through ours. We were satisfied with the end results after expressing our disappointments with the initial work. They were the cheapest of any place that would come to a designated location, so that was why we chose them, but I'm not sure I'd go with them again.

He showed up late with one assistant for 12 girls' hair and makeup, after I specifically asked him to bring at least 3 assistants.He did not offer an apology or even an excuse (I scheduled him more than 6 months prior to my wedding and had 4 conversations with him about this). They rushed through everyone, and acted totally unprofessional. Obviously, not all of the girls were able to get their hair and makeup done, and this was supposed to be my gift to my bridesmaids! Of the bridesmaids who did get their hair done, more than one had to re-pin their own hair after an hour. My hair was fine, but he tried to put false eyelashes on me 3 times unsuccessfully. At one point, he squirted the glue directly into my eyeball, which was very painful. I mentioned privately to Angelo that I was unhappy that he did not bring more assistants, and he started yelling at me, trying to turn the blame on me. It was not the stress I needed on my wedding day. Please, please do not waste your time with these people, save your money for the professionals (or better yet do it yourself and I guarantee you will be happier.)
