WOW, really? This place is a joke. I went to Bella Nella for my wedding. I was really exited since all I have been hearing from people is how unique they are, how stylish they are, how wonderful they are. On my consultation day, Bella or Nella, not sure which one (the one with the red permed hair) spent probably, oh I would say, 10 minutes on me. I had brought a bunch of pictures of hair styles that I was interested in and did my make up the way I would have like for them to do it on my wedding day just to give them an idea. If this is a "consultation" shouldn't they spend AT LEAST 30 minutes if not more practicing hair and makeup? This is after all the brides most important and special day of her life and you don't want any suprises on the day of the event. On the day of my wedding, I had to wait an hour before anyone started on my hair. Finally, I sat on the chair and one of the assistants, sleepy as ever (and I mean sleepy, she yawned 17 times, yes I was counting, and it was annoying the heck out of me)started to curl my hair. Then after the curl, Bella or Nella (the one who does hair) spent 25 minutes styling my hair. Wow, when I saw the end result, I thought I was in a nightmare and I was about to wake up and my hair was not going to be so herendous. She made my hair look like the typical bella hair that you see on so many of her brides but a million times worse. Nothing special, just typical, boring and DID NOT MATCH ME. If your dress is fancy and has a lot going on, how can you make your makeup, jewelry, hair piece and hair too much? Everything ends up competing with eachother. If something on the bride is really stand outish than the other things need to be toned down or vice versa. My make up, not that bad, but I know I could've done it better. Again, nothing special. She did however do something that would be called a fashion emergency if I did not go home and wipe. She made my lip liner dark and my inside lipstick/gloss light. WTF? This is not the 80's. And every fashion magazine, every style channel, the Oscars, the Emmy's, you will never see 1 model, actress with that kind of lip color on their lips. I could've looked better on my wedding day, but I did not feel beautiful. I just kept worrying about my hair. It's your choice if you choose to go here but I would definitely not recommend. 2 thumbs down!!!
