Appease Inc.

These ladies were great! My trial hair and makeup was in my own home, which is very convenient. Then, on my big day, I changed my hair and makeup plan a bit from our trial run (a girl's got a right to change her mind, right?) and the ladies were flexible and more than willing to adapt. My hair and makeup were perfect AND they stayed that way well into the night. After hours of pictures and then dancing my tush off, I still looked polished and pretty. Thank you!

Appease Inc. great to work with for my wedding in September 2011 at the Westin in Lombard. I was recommended to Appease by a friend at work whose sister recently used them for her wedding and had a great experience with them. My main point of contact was Carla, and she always responded to my emails and addressed my questions and concerns right away, which was great because I definitely had a lot! I chose Appease because of their reasonable prices, especially with the discount for my Friday wedding, and the fact that they come to you on the day of your wedding and for any trials beforehand. At my original trial, the makeup artist and I got along fine but couldn’t quite get on the same page about what I was looking for, so I let Carla know, and she was very happy to send a different makeup artist to me for another trial at no extra charge (who happened to be Laura, my hair stylist). The 2nd trial was much better, and I am so glad that Carla was understanding and wanted to make sure that I was happy with my look so there would be no surprises on the day of my wedding. My mom, 3 of my bridesmaids, and I all had our hair and makeup done at the hotel where the ceremony and reception were being held. It was so nice to have everyone in one place getting ready so I didn’t have to worry about where everyone was and when they would be arriving at the hotel. Carla and Laura arrived right on time the morning of the wedding, and they did such a wonderful job on all of us! They listened to what we wanted and were happy to make changes to our hair and makeup if there was something we didn’t like the first time around. My mom and bridesmaids were extremely happy with their hair and makeup, and I absolutely loved mine – it looked even than I could have ever imagined and went perfectly with my wedding gown. We all looked and felt beautiful, and the airbrush makeup looked natural and felt like we weren’t wearing any makeup, which we loved. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup all night, and some people that couldn’t make it to the wedding but saw the wedding pictures even made comments about how good all of our hair and makeup looked. I would absolutely recommend Appease Inc. to anyone needing their hair and makeup done for an event, and I would definitely use them again in the future!

I had Laura and an assistant come do my hair for my wedding, along with 6 bridemaids and one flower girl and my mother. She came first to my house and did my trial and i loved it, a few days after my trial i decided i really wanted my hair all the way up and she had no problem with coming out for a second trial so we could get it just right. The day if the wedding they showed up right on time and got straight to work. I loved the airbrush make up and it stayed on all night! Even more impressive was how well all of our updo's lasted the whole night, for a good 12 hours! I never had one touch up to do and my hair looked absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone for their wedding day or any other event, she did a fabulous job and we couldn't have been more pleased.

Peggy was great. She made me look fantastic, and it was fun to chat with her during the trial and wedding day prep. Great price to have someone come to you.

I absolutely love this place. So easy and conveinient. Very responsive and flexible. Were willing to help me with any and all of my questions and any dilemmas that came up. Laura was awesome and rocked my hair and the hair of all the ladies in my wedding. Everyone felt and looked absoltuely STUNNING!!!! Thanks Laura and all the wonderful people at Appease!!!!!!

Omg!!! Carla is Amazing! She did a wonderful job! She did my make up for my bridal shower and my wedding. Everybody loved it. Most important I loved and so did my husband. She did my make up at 9am and it lasted to 2am! Polish/American weddings are long...but fun! I cant wait for another excuse to call her to do my make up for a special event.

I was really happy with my hair and makeup for my big day. Laura did an amazing job! Usually, pictures I see for make up for Indian brides is over the top and not flattering. Laura did a great job of bringing out that natural look that also photographed perfectly. I had 2 looks for my big day, one for the wedding and another for the reception. Laura put together 2 completely different looks for me and I could not be happier. I was also really happy with my mom and sister's make up. Overall, Laura did an amazing job and I would recommend her to all my friends. Also, Appease does a great job of being responsive to emails and calls. I never had to wait more than 1-2 days to receive a response in regards to questions, etc. I am so glad I chose Appease for my big day.

Carrie was so amazing to work with. I am an out of town bride and she was really flexible at squeezing in a hair trial at 8 am on a Sunday! She did amazing work and was really affordable. She has a very sweet and fun personality too so you feel completely at ease with her. My sister has booked her for her wedding next year also! Everyone looked absolutely beautiful - she has my full recommendation!

I used Appease for my hair/make up, as well as two bridesmaids and two moms. I booked my group through email and spoke with Carla. She was very accommodating, as I kept changing how many people were getting which services. I had my trial about a month before, and although the stylists did a good job, I changed my mind for the day of the wedding and they had no problem changing what they did. My stylists were Samantha for hair and Jennifer for airbrush make up. They were amazing. My hair stayed the whole night, and my make up was hard to take off even the next day. Jennifer gave me lipstick touch ups for later in the night, but I only had to use it one time all the way at the end of the night. It stayed on so well. I was very happy with Appease and would recommend them. Their prices are reasonable too, but be aware, you have to pay the full price for everyone + 20% tip two weeks before your big day. However, this was spelled out to me ahead of time. Overall, I had a great experience and felt gorgeous on my big day!

Carla and her team was wonderful in realizing the ideas we had in our minds about what my bridesmaids and I wanted. We couldn't show her what we really wanted, but through our suggestions and ideas Carla set forth our vision. Our hair and make-up turned out beautifully, and there were many compliments all around. Throughout all our indecisions, she was flexible and managed to still complete our look. Thank you for making us the beautiful visions we always wanted to be!

Carla did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup for my June wedding. My biggest concern was that I did not want to look too made up even though I knew I would have to go heavier on the makeup than I normally do because of the pictures. Carla took note of all of my concerns and did a beautiful job of making me feel comfortable with the makeup up and also letting my features pop in pictures. My hair stayed all day (even after taking pictures at the beach and throughout the city of Chicago) and everyone told me I looked beautiful...and I believed them :)

I had Laura do my hair and makeup at the platinum level, which included airbrush makeup. She did a great job- I was really impressed especially with how well the makeup stayed up, even with high humidity. I loved what she did with my hair- no one else has been able to get it to hold a curl. She also did all four of my bridesmaids (with an assistant) and they all looked beautiful. All in all, Appease was great to deal with, and Laura especially is a gem!

I am so happy I picked appease for my hair and makeup for my wedding! It was one of the vendors I did not have to stress about!
They answered my emails so quickly, my trial went really well and everything on the wedding day was great. Samantha was so nice, patient and did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. I was never called "stunning" before that day! I felt so beautiful I knew all the photos would come out great.

Thank you!

My hair stylist for the wedding was Laura. Laura is not only amazing at hair and make up but she is such a great person! She was so understanding with my entire family and what we wanted for out wedding. Appease is a great company, great value and they come to you. I would definitely recommend Laura, she is one a million. I look like a princess for my wedding She did 3 different looks in two days and they were all very unique to go with all of my Indian outfits. I looked modern and elegent, thanks to her! I love her. I wish I could take her with me everywhere!

The only downfall is that you have to pay your final sum two weeks prior to the event. I did not read the fine print and was not happy about that.

Carla was great! She was very helpful with picking out colors, and took her time to see if we wanted to make any changes to hair or makeup. Would highly recommend. Thank you for all your help- I loved my hair and makeup!! =)

I used Appease out of Chicago and they were great to work with. Very professional staff and fun! They came to my home and did all of the bridal parties hair styles, including the two moms! These are amazing people to work with, def. use them!

I would recommend Appease to anyone looking for at home beauty needs for a wedding. The women were great and everyone looked beatiful! It made the day very comfortable for everyone.

Carla is the best ever! Not only was Appease the cheapest hair/make-up company I could find, but they did an AMAZING job! After my trial I totally changed what I wanted (I wanted curly rather than straight hair, less make-up, different colors, different feel, etc.) and Carla showed up the day of the wedding and blew away my expectations. I loved the way I looked and would recommend her to ANYONE looking to be beautiful on their special day. She also did a great job with my mom (who has very short hair) and my bridesmaids.

I had my hair done with Carla when I was recently a bridesmaid, as part of the wedding day prep. She and her team were excellent. I was really happy with the style. I have straight, flat hair and they did a great updo which held all day, through lots of festivities and dancing, without looking stiff or overdone. Great value.

Carla from Appease Inc. was so great to work with. There were 5 of us that got our hair done at the hotel and Carla worked very well with each person's individual tastes. No hair type was too challenging. It was so convenient to have this service done on site - makes for a little less stress the morning of the wedding. She even came to my house for the trial - this is just the kind of pampering that all brides deserve.

I'd love to try other services from Appease. The are an overall reliable business.

Thanks.

I am so happy we used Appease for my wedding day! It was so nice to have them come to my apartment and everyone was able to hang out and relax all morning and not have to worry about going to a salon. We had Cathy and Carrie doing hair and then Carla doing makeup. They all did an excellent job!!

I used Appease for my wedding. Carla did my hair and makeup and I loved it! My bridesmaids looked amazing! They were late due to traffic but they were able to get everyone done right on time. They even handled my complaining mother very professionally. I would highly recommend Appease (and ask for Carla because she is a real artist)!

I had the pleasure of having Peggy come and do my consult and wedding day make-up/hair. She was remarkable, friendly, and a master of her art. I got a LOT of compliments!!

Laura did an amazing job transforming me into a beautiful bride. She knew what I wanted and had the skills and talent to execute. Laura was patient, friendly, and professional throughout the process. Appease was the right choice for me -- what a relief to know I didn't have to worry about finding someone of high quality to come to me on a Sunday morning! Carrie, the owner, was also very helpful and responsive to my needs. I would highly recommend Appease -- especially Laura -- to anyone!

I had the greatest experience with Laura. She did the majority of my bridesmaids hair and mine. She was perfect! She arrived on time and ready to go! She listened carefully to everyones needs and delivered 100%. Ask for Laura...she even does fashion shows in NY. She is very talented!!

Carla did an amazing job for my wedding. My hair usually never stays curly (straight Asian hair) and I also sweat alot (hot July wedding). She was professional and prompt and my hair stayed miraculously curly the entire time! It looked amazing. Also the airbrush makeup is magical, it stayed on the entire 12 hours. I wish I could look like that all the time. It did not look too "over-done" and I can't wait to see more photos! She also comes to your venue and does BOTH hair and makeup which is awesome. Thank you Carla!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Carla, and she was AMAZING. My hair, my mother's hair, and all my bridesmaids looked fantastic. Makeup was spectacular, and they were really fun to work with. We had 4 people of all different skin colors, and each of us looked amazing, thanks to their know-how and willingness to work with the different palletes. I'd definitely work with them again.

Carla did my hair and makeup for the trial and she was wonderful did everything i asked and when the day came to do my hair and makeup for the wedding I told her what i didn't like from the trial and she was great did everything how i wanted it to be. She also did my 3 bridesmaids hair and makeup, my maid of honors hair and makeup and my moms hair and makeup. Everyone was so beautiful I could not have asked for better. Also she has great choices for hair pieces as well!

Carla did an amazing job. She made my mother look radiant and 15 years younger. My junior bridesmaid looked so pretty (and age appropriate). When my maid of honor was getting her hair done she said, "I am usually very nervous when people do my hair, but everyone looks great and I feel completely confident." And she looked amazing.

I don't wear a lot of makeup in day to day life, so during my trial, the amount of makeup I was wearing made me feel uncomfortable. Carla listened to what I said, came up with some adjustments and on the day of the wedding, I not only looked picture perfect, but also felt like myself.

I looked beautiful and my bridal party looked beautiful. More importantly, we all FELT beautiful. Thank you Carla and Appease, inc.

I looked AMAZING for my wedding, it even rained at the end of the reception and still no change in my makeup! I would definitely use them again and loved how willing to work with me they were!

We received so many compliments about hair and makeup! U ladies were FANTASTIC and I will recommend u to any bride. I am very happy we went with u and ur company.

I had my hair and make up ( airbrush) done by Appease. It was one less thing I had to worry about and it was less stressful because they came to me and I didn't have to worry about extra running around on my wedding day! I couldn't have dreamed of better service. My make up and hair came out amazing!!! And it lasted all night!!! ( and the next day for that matter haha) Thanks Again!!!

My makeup and hair artist was Celestine. She was awesome! She was patient and worked with me choosing my best look for the wedding day and the trial. She enhanced all of my assets and made me look and feel stunning. I cannot say enough good things about the experience with Appease. Carla was very accomodating and understanding working with me from out of state (Chicago was our destination wedding as we are from Michigan). I will definately be using Appease again and referring them to friends, family and associates!

I live in London and as such, was planning my wedding from abroad. Carla was extremely patient and helpful when I contacted her via email about my wedding. She explained the various packages available to me, and she was very flexible in accommodating a date for my trial which coincided with a short trip back to the States before the wedding.

On the day of my trial, there was a huge snowstorm in Chicago, but that didn't stop Carla! I was so happy we didn't have to reschedule because I had planned the trial to coincide with my bachelorette party that night. Thanks to Carla, I looked and felt great! My hair and makeup lasted the entire night--through snowstorms, martinis and the Chicago nightlife! It was the ultimate pre-wedding test :)

Carla and Cindy did a fabulous job on the day of the wedding. All of the bridesmaids looked beautiful. We had so much fun getting ready, and Carla and Cindy were great at keeping us on schedule during the the entire process. I have never felt prettier in my life! Carla's makeup skills are second-to-none.

Most importantly, Carla gave me peace of mind in the months leading up to the event. Planning a wedding from abroad can be unnerving, but I felt confident that I had made the right choice when I hired Appease 2 Me. I was not disappointed.

I have a high school reunion coming up in September, and I am already planning on contacting Carla to schedule some pre-party pampering.

Thanks again for doing an amazing job girls!

I think it was the best decison ever to have someone come to us to to do our hair. Everyone's hair looked great! So happy I hired them!

I enjoyed working with Carla on my wedding day. It was a tight schedule with two bridesmaids in addition to my make-up and hair. Carla did a beautiful job for all of the appointments, keeping us right on schedule. She kept the mood light--allowing the wedding party and my family at the house (where the appointment was held) to have a good time. I made a last minute hairstyle change from the trial appointment and Carla was very accomodating. The hair and make-up lasted all day even through a long afternoon of picture-taking in the gardens on a chilly day.

This place is amazing! Bring in a picture of what you want your hair to look like for your beautiful day... and they'll make it look just like the picture!

Dealing with Carrie was an absolute pleasure. My makeup artist was Peggy and she was so fantastic. I hadn't originally planned on having my makeup done professionally but I am so glad I did. It was some of the best money I spent in this entire wedding process. My makeup lasted the entire day and evening with only touching up my lip gloss. The compliments I received were so numerous that I lost count. I know that my day was that more perfect for going with Appease.

As my wedding day approached, at the last minue, my bridal party and I decided to have our hair done professionally. We literally had two weeks to find someone who not only was not booked for the Saturday we needed, but would also work on location. We found Appease, and by luck, they had a cancelation for the day we needed. They were very prompt and professional. And, they were very responsive and helpful knowing that this was a very high stress situation of last minute planning. They were able to fit me in for a trail updo, and plan my big day in less than two weeks. They were wonderful!

I scheduled my services less than 6 weeks before my wedding. The girls who came for our hair and my makeup were amazing! Very accommodating, and able to help 3 of the most indecisive women on the planet get ready for a wedding in less than an hour!

Appease was absolutely wonderful to work with! Carrie was incredibly accommodating, I felt I knew her before we met! Everyone was extremely friendly and my bridal party was thrilled with their looks. I completely changed my mind on how I wanted my hair done and it wasn't a problem at all. Everyone went above and beyond just hair and makeup to assist with the little problems that occur on wedding days. It was an unbelievable experience and I would recommend Appease to anyone! I could not have been happier with the service.

They did great job!

Appease is a great service for bride's or anyone for that matter. Carrie was very quick to respond and didn't mind answering all of my questions. I had Laura for my hair and makeup and she was amazing. I loved my hair and makeup. Plus, they even come to you which is so much better than running around on your wedding day. I would highly recommend Appease, Carrie and Laura!

I had a stylist/makeup artist from appease named Candice for me, my mom and my mother in law for my wedding day and she was awesome. I had my hair done and airbrush makeup, they come to you. I had a trial the same week as my wedding since I was married in a different state than I live in and she took her time and made sure I loved what she did. On the day of the wedding she arrived promptly, got me ready in time for the photographer and got everyone else ready early as well. She did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup and she even fixed one of my bridesmaid's makeup that she got done elsewhere and hated. It was very easy to set up service with the company and everything went perfectly. They are a little pricey for their services and trials but she did a wonderful job and I would absolutely recommend them.

Carla did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and the hair of one of my bridesmaids. She wasn't fazed when I began crying because I didn't like my hairstyle on the day-of and was able to quickly whip it into something better. My makeup was GORGEOUS and I got so many compliments. The only thing that could have been better was sometimes my emails or phone messages didn't seem to get through. But everything went according to schedule. Great price for quality of service.

Carla did a great job on my hair and makeup. She also did a great job on my 2 bms hair. Everyone complimented me on my makeup and hair. She made me look exactly how I wanted to look. Thanks Carla

I had Carla from Appease do my hair and makeup, at the Platinum level, and also the hair and/or makeup of my bridal party and mom. It took all morning because there was a lot to do, but I could not have been more happy. Everyone looked fantastic and got numerous compliments. I loved my up-do and thought it was perfect. I had done the trial before and it went well. She first tried the front of my hair one way, but we didn't like it, so she adjust it and then adjusted it again to get exactly what we wanted. She was also very responsive in regards to what I wanted with makeup. My only complaint, and it's a really tiny one, is that she had to come on two separate evenings for the trial (doing hair first and then makeup second) because the first time she forgot to bring stuff for makeup. But she did come all the way to my place twice, at rush hour, and was very accommodating to my schedule, so I really didn't mind the mix up in the end. All in all, I highly recommend Appease for the beauty of Carla's work, and thought their prices were really reasonable too.

I had Jennifer as my makeup artist. She was absolutely amazing!! She was so sweet during the make-up trial and willing to try different things just so I could see what it looked like. Everyone at my wedding continuously complimented me on my make-up. The airbrushing felt so light and airy and looked so natural. I wish I had anther event to go to so I could hire Jennifer again, I would highly recommend her!

I worked with Laura for my own hair and makeup (platinum package). I did my trial on the day I planned to do my engagement photos which gave me an idea how well things would hold up for the big day. It also helped us to determine things we wanted to change for the big day. Laura was very receptive to my likes/dislikes and open to changing whatever I didn't like without a problem! She was also very pleasant with my bridal party and new mother in law with their hair/makeup as well.

We also worked with Peggy on the day of, who was very flexible with the schedule when we ran into a few bumps with our own bridal party members showing up late. She just took it all in stride and juggled it like a true professional. Not only that, but she also took on an extra person to style with little notice.

Ladies, working with appease truly made my life much simpler in preparing for my big day. Carla and Carrie were both very prompt in answering my calls and emails to address all of my concerns. The stylists are truly professional and pros at what they do. Lastly, my hair/makeup looked flawless all night! To be truthful my hair actually lasted me into the next day (I was so exhausted from my evening I actually fell asleep and it remained perfect for brunch the next morning!)

If you want a stress free hair and makeup experience that will cater and come to you - call or email appease. You won't be sorry.

I loved that they came to the hotel we were at because our ceremony and reception were both there, we were staying there, and we were in town from Arizona so basically the wedding day was made so much simpler because we didn't have to journey all over the city to get things done!

Everything was excellent! Came to my house for a trial run and on the wedding day. Did both hair and makeup, so it was very convenient. Great personalities!!

Laura did my + 4 bridesmaids makeup + my hair and Peggy did 4 bridesmaids hair. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Appease. Carrie was extremely responsive throughout the process and very accommodating (even when our original hair person got sick!). Laura was absolutely amazing. I felt beautiful the entire day and after getting my pictures back, look flawless. I definitely recommend booking Laura!

I look flawless on my wedding day Thank you soooo much,you all are GREAT!!!!I found Your Beautiful Face on WeddingWire and all the ladies and I were very happy with all that was provided.

Carrie did a great job on hair and make up for my wedding day. She was on time and very professional. The airbrush makeup was some of the best money I spent!

Carla did a wonderful job with my makeup! She came all the way out to St. Charles (from Chicago) for both the trial and wedding day! The airbrush makeup is a MUST DO for the wedding day! You can really see the difference in the photos. I would highly recommend it. The eye makeup colors she had weren't initially what I was looking for but we blended some colors to make it work and it ended up looking great! She was receptive to any changes I wanted to make. Thanks, Carla!

The girls at Appease were so great to work with. In general, I think the prices of hair & make-up are more expensive than I anticipated, but Appease was really great. They were so flexible with scheduling a trial for hair & make-up. On the wedding day, they came to the hotel & did everyone's hair & make-up before we got dressed. It was much less stressful than having to go from one location to another & then getting dressed. By the end of the night, my hair was still perfect. My make-up had rubbed off, and I should have brought back-up mascara, ect. But that's to be expected after 8 hours of running around.

I paid for hair for myself, 6 bridesmaids and got our flowergirl's hair done for free. My first trial was with Carla, and although she was punctual, sweet and professional, I felt that she hadn't looked at the example photos that I spent so much time picking out for her. I ended up talking with Carrie again to find another stylist that I fit better with. She set me up with Laura, who was FABULOUS.

Laura came with Olga on our wedding day and I can't say enough GOOD THINGS about them. She listened to everything I liked/disliked and I was floored at how amazing I looked. On our wedding day, we had some drama and Laura rolled right with it and made all the girls shine. That was after they got up at the crack of dawn to start on us at 7am!! Everyone loved their hair and makeup, we stayed on schedule and there's no feeling like absolutely LOVING the way you look on your wedding day. It's priceless.

My score for responsiveness has NOTHING to do with Laura herself (who answered the phone every time I called), but with Carrie and Carla. They were very sweet and helpful when I could actually get a hold of them. Often it took almost 2 weeks for them to return a viocemail and longer for an email. I found myself leaving multiple messages for them and feeling like I was badgering them to get a call back.

I will definitely be calling Laura in the future and I would recommend her and Olga to any bride who wants to book someone for hair and makeup, and be absolutely worry free about this part of the wedding. They are 100% reliable and professional.

**The further ahead you book, the better the price!!

Carla did a great job with me and my wedding party. Not only was I pleased with the end result but the process was easy as well.

I had Peggy do my hair (and yes she has experience with african american hair and did great)
and Misha do airbrush make up which was the bomb! here were the reasons the company got 2 4's
which is still good
Granted I did not set up my hair and make up trial until closer to my wedding they reschedule it i believe twice
. which isn't bad but all the wedding stuff going on it was an added stress to reschedule once and then again. they were very apologetic about it, and it was due to things beyond our control BUT, I'm a bride lol, so I wanted things to fall into place. I also got a platinum package and had to ask about my touch up kit, they didnt have me down for getting one at first so if I hadnt mentioned it, I may not have gotten it. Anyway those are just minor things that I point out to be honest. but aside from all that, it didnt make a dent in the amazing service I got. I got to make decisions!
ON my wedding day After Peggy did it the first time I was Not satisfied, I asked her to do it again and I did not like it and then again and I didnt like it, third time was a charm, and none of it was her fault I was stressed about other things that morning and she was so very patient and did not complain and I appreciated that. Misha and I hit it off right away she was nice, approachable good stuff. thanks appease!

I wasn’t sure I wanted to have someone do my hair and makeup for my wedding. The bills were piling up and the bank account was getting low. I was giving the advice that no matter what I do; make sure I get someone to do my hair and makeup. And I heard this from a lot of brides. So I started to look into this. And I found Appease. I e-mailed them and asked a bunch of questions; Carrie e-mailed me back with all my questions answered. She seemed to be really nice. I looked up reviews on them and no one had any bad remarks. I set up a trial run with Carrie, for a woman named Peggy to come out to my house and do my hair. Peggy and I hit it off great. She was super sweet, my hair and makeup turned out great for the trial run and on my big day. I am very thankful I went with them.
The only down part was I was never given my little kit that was promised.

The ladies I worked with from Appease were delightful. I had Carrie that cam e and did my hair and Iris did my make-up. Carrie also had my mom and 4 bridesmaids to do hair for, as well as our 2 1/2 year old flower girl. Iris had myself and 2 others to do. Both of them worked very well together, and everyone looked beautiful. There were some speedbumps and miscommunications here and there, but everything worked out in the end and I was pleased.

My hairstylist and makeup artists were very good. I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day. Both the women were very professional and were very easy to work with. It was especially important to me that they had listened to my wishes and created a look that I'm looking for. They were flexible during the trial and helped me achieve the right look on the wedding day.

in the beginning it was a little hard to get a hold of them, and the trail didn't go to well, but after that everyting was great. I did get the disconts that they posted here, though i had to remind them, but on the day of they did a wonderful job. Everyone said how beautiful i looked and loved my hair and how the hairstylist did my hair piece. Through everything i would use them again for sure.

During my trial, Carla achieved the look that I wanted (both hair and makeup); she and I both took pictures, and I booked her services soon after. For the wedding day, she could not replicate the same exact look from the trial. When I showed her pictures from the trial of my hair, she said it would not be exactly the same, but I thought that was the point of the trial. I could have pushed the point, but we were already running a little late and I still had to get makeup done and get dressed. The makeup was also a little different from the trial (some different eye colors and more liner and mascara than I would have wanted) but that was less of an issue for me as long as it looked relatively natural. Unfortunately, my hair style (a low updo) was starting to come undone after about an hour, and I had to keep putting more bobby pins in to keep loose ends from falling on my neck and sticking out. The bridesmaids and my mom looked good though and the price was reasonable even though I was a little disappointed with my own look.

Appease was great in that they were able to come to my house for the makeup trial and then come to my location of the wedding to do my makeup. I think that they did a great job, it was just a little pricey for the airbrushing. (over 100 dollars) and the makeup did last awhile but by the end of the night after sweat, humidity and dancing it was a little sloppy.

I was pleased with my hair stylist (Alex). She was very friendly, worked quickly, and went the extra mile to make sure that everyone was happy.

My make up artist on the other hand was average. She did a decent job, however, I have been in previous wedding before and whenever I got my make up done I was given the mascara that was used on me as well as the lipstick/gloss so that I could make touch ups throughout the night and I was only a bridesmaid. This time around, I was the bride, and I was not even given the lipstick to make touchups. Not too pleased about this at all.

This is overdue but necessary. I was married in Nov 2010 and orginally hired this company for hair/makeup for me (bride), 15 women (13 bridesmaids/2moms), and 3 flowergirls (hair only). I lived in Dallas so picked this company based on reviews and emails from them. In my emails, I told them my primary concern was that I am a dark skinned Indian girl and needed someone who had experience with this. They assured me they did have experience and even sent me a few pictures of previous indian girls they had done. I believed them and hired them. The makeup trial was aweful!!! The foundation didn't match at all and after expressing my concern several times, the makeup artist took a picture of me to prove that it matched. She took one look at the picture and said, "uh, that doesn't match." (How frustrating that she couldn't tell without the picture!). She wiped it off and started over, but at this point my faith was shaken in this person and I didn't want her to do my wedding makeup. The next day I called Appease and they said they had heard that the makeup person stuggled and that they would give me another trial with another person. This person was much better, but I feel like if Appease already knew that I had a bad experience, why didn't they call me first to fix it. Also, if they knew my primary concern was having a person who could match dark skin, why didn't they send a better person the first time instead of waiting for this girl to fail and then sending me a better person? On the upside, the hair person they sent Catherine was amazing!
Things to consider when hiring them:
1) They don't listen to your concerns. I told them my concern was matching my dark skin, and they didn't send me someone who was capable of handling it the first time. Another concern I had was with their time table. I told them based on my experience, it takes longer to do Indian hair/makeup. They would not change the time line and the day of the wedding we ran late.
2) They make you pay 20% tip upfront. I feel like a tip is performance based and should be given the day of (unless you want to give it early).
3) I paid for everything up front hoping for a smooth day. The day off, the makeup artists are trying to upsell the bridesmaids, asking if they want airbrush for $20 more or fake eyelashes for whatever amount more. So then I have bridesmaids dashing back to their hotel rooms to get money and a makeup artist trying to keep a ledger of everything she is selling. It pissed me off because I personnally paid for everything up front as a gift to my bridesmaids and to keep out the chaos but instead, Appease totally stressed me out and made me feel bad about not buying the bridesmaids airbrushed makeup instead of regular makeup. (and I already paid $120 for each person, not including me)

Months after the wedding, when Carla the owner asked me about my experience and I told her the truth, she was defensive and never appologized. She told me she learned from my large bridal party experience that more time should be allotted per girl and the fake eyelashes should be included in the base price and that they now do this for bridal parties. (Too little, too late for me. Though, I am happy some of this won't happen to other women). Basically she told me I was lucky that they were generous enough to do some things for me (like I had one women and 1 flower girl at another location so they sent a separate person there. But if it was a big deal I would have had that woman and flowergirl come to my location) What Carla fails to realize, is that this is a business. I'm not lucky, i am your client. What business owner tells a client that the client is lucky to be paying for services and getting serviced by them. I am a client that brought you a lot of business (1 bridal hair, 3 flower girls hair, and 15 women's hair and makeup), so i would have thought you were lucky to get me! Carla was one of the hairstylist the day of my wedding (which I didn't realize at the time). She said she saw the chaos created by the makeup astists trying to upsell and saw that I was stressed out about what going on, but did she do anything to stop it or did she come up to me at any time during the chaos and see what she could do? NO!

I'm upset with how alot of things were handled by this company. That being said, I would recomment the hairstylist Catherine Tsakalis. She is an amazing hairstylist.
