For my sister's engagement party, we both had our hair and makeup done at Bella Nella. Horrible service. When we went there for a consultation, we were informed by the receptionist that we needed to book an appointment before we could have a consultation. Isn't the point of a consultation to decide if the salon can give you what you want? Either way, we booked only for my sister. Spent 218 on extensions and 300 on appointment. "Consultation" lasted 2 minutes while we stood at front desk because she was tending to an apparently more important customer who was a relative of some sort. My hairstylist canceled last minute, and they were really nice to book me the morning of the engagement. I asked for wavy hair: I looked like a cross between King Louis and Annie. My sister's extensions showed and they were so long it looked like a horse's mane. Makeup was however amazing. It was done by one of their artists named Heleen. Went home, I cut 3 inches off my sister's extensions and hid the sewn part with bobby pins. I watered my hair down and brushed through it to open the curls. Didn't charge me the 180 + 30 (for Sunday) but instead 250. Where they came up with this rule is beyond me. At the end of the day, me and my sister looked fabulous at the party and Bella and Nella got their money! It really sucks to come home and have to spend an hour doing your own hair after spending so much money. Save yourself the time, money, and disappointment.
