Beauty by Grace

Grace did an outstanding job with my hair and makeup. The trial session went well, and she easily implemented the very minor changes I requested the day of! I received countless compliments about how my makeup played up all my best features, and how classic I looked. She even included a touch-up kit (bobby pins, little thing of hair spray, lipstick, etc.), though I didn't use a single thing the whole night. My hair really does not like holding a curl, but it did all night without having tons of hair spray in it! I will be using Grace again if/when I need my makeup done again. I highly recommend her!

Excellent attention to detail and beautiful work! :)

Grace is an amazing hairstylist who provides professional and beautiful results. She created wonderful up dos for me (bride), my bridesmaids and styled a short hairstyle for the mother of the bride. She was flexible to travel to do my trial run as well as for the wedding. I liked her ability to listen, create and meet every expectation. She is very detailed-oriented, creative, easy to communicate with and especially a kind lady. The quality of her work is exceptional and lasting and worth every penny. Thank you Grace for all your hard work and enhancing our beauty to shine through on this very special day!

Wedding January 2011

I'd like to consider myself a very picky person when it comes to my hairstylists. When I find the right one, I am very loyal to them and I love to refer a great stylist. I was referred to Grace by a friend of my who spoke very highly of her. I've loved my friend's hair for as long as she's gone to Grace. I decided to finally try her after my own hairstylist gave me one of the worst layers ever. Grace fixed my hair and I saw that her haircut was the best cut I have ever had. You can definitely count on Grace to give you exactly what You Want, She listens to you and makes the outcome even better than you expected. She is definitely an artist and a perfectionist that will never get too comfortable and will always give her 120%. I booked her for my wedding and she was very professional and anal, she made sure that myself and my 9 bridesmaids were happy.

Great service, very friendly

I absolutely LOVED my bridal makeup and hair! My husband doesn't like me wearing too much makeup, but he thought the makeup on the wedding was perfect. Grace did an amazing updo with the special and large hairpiece I wore. She definitely has a good artistic eye, and she emphasizes your best features. I'd highly recommend her to any of my friends who are getting married, I'm so grateful that I chose her to do hair and makeup for myself, bridesmaids, and mothers, who were also so beautiful on my wedding day because of her!

Making Older Hair Young Again

I’ve always struggled with my curly hair that tends to frizz. And at 58 years old, my hair was dry and somewhat damaged because I’ve always done my own color treatments. I’m at that point in life where I want to simplify things, so I decided to go to the well-reviewed My Bella Color Studios to have my long hair professionally colored and cut short.

But then I met Grace. Grace is a lovely young woman, very easy to be with, and a professional dedicated to her craft. She told me my hair would benefit from getting a Brazilian Blowout, something she is certified to do. I had read a little about the process before, but the price gave me pause.

While watching Grace color my hair with the intensity and skill of a true artist, I knew she would be the right stylist to give me the Blowout. She is very thorough and clearly wants whoever sits in her chair to leave looking their absolute best. The Blowout procedure takes time, but I think Grace works as fast and efficiently as a trained stylist can. After the coloring followed by the Blowout, she cut my hair shoulder-length, rinsed and re-dried it to see for herself that the process worked as it should.

I like the results very much. Grace painted warm highlights throughout my hair and the color looks bright and natural. Now I wake up in the morning, do a quick comb out, and my hair falls into place where it stays all day. When I wash my hair, it requires only a rough blow-dry to look as good as I did when I left the salon. It’s the easiest-to-care-for hair you can imagine: smooth and shiny, healthy, young-looking hair. My husband insists I look years younger.

If you want a look that lasts at least 3 months and helps restore hair to better health, as it is said to do, I say an enthusiastic yes to the Brazilian Blowout. The savings in time alone--time formerly spent fussing with my hair--makes the investment worthwhile. More importantly, if you want a beautifully colored, fresh new haircut to frame your smile, go visit Grace at the My Bella Color Studios.

“Hi Grace-

It’s good to hear from you again. Married life is good and we’ve since come down from our wedding day high, but the memories are still vivid. It was one of the best days of my life and the hair you did for me definitely played a huge part. Everyone I talked to that day complimented my hair. It was the most fabulous style I ever wore or have ever seen, even on other brides. Thank you so much for making my hair look so beautiful on my wedding day.
