    Great Experience

    I had a great experience with Victoria and would highly recommend for future brides!

    I had the pleasure of having Cristina (hair) and Melody (make-up) as my glam team for the trail & wedding day. They also did 2 bridesmaids, MOB, MOG and sis-in law. Everyone had a positive experience with both the ladies and were all happy with their looks including myself!

    I don't wear make-up as much and initially had asked for a soft glam and a plain up-do at the trial. As I went home and stared at myself, I figured out what I didn't want and I had asked to tweak the look of both hair and make-up from trial to wedding day. They executed the look that I wanted perfectly! Like literally knocked it out of the park! Truly made me feel beautiful on my big day! Both hair and make-up held up all day and night.

    Thank you Victoria, Cristina and Melody for all your help and playing such an integral role on my special day! Wish you all the best :)

    Stunning work, communicative during the planning process, and a calming presence on the day of

    I was absolutely thrilled with the hair and makeup done by Victoria and Cristina respectively. Both understood what myself and my bridal party wanted and delivered amazing results. Even though I have never looked so beautiful, I didn't feel like I was caked behind a wall of makeup or was unrecognizable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Victoria and her team to any future brides.

    Great experience with Victoria Barrett and Team

    Cristina and Lina from Victoria's team were fun, relaxed and professional. They delivered a big variety of styles requested by my friends including "hollywood" "soft/romantic" and "90's prom." My bridesmaids and mother of the bride loved the results!

    Please use better lipstick for brides!

    While Victoria's team was professional, I did not have a great overall hair and makeup experience. The hair and makeup trial they offer does not allow you to try multiple styles, which should be disclosed to brides. I was extremely disappointed with the lipstick they used on the wedding day, it smudged all over my husband as soon as we had our first kiss and got all over everything (including my dress), I had to wipe it off before we even took photos. I also felt that my trial makeup looked much better than on the actual day. Thank you to Victoria's team for their work, but please find a better lipstick, especially for the bride!

    Victoria Barrett Makeup & Hair Artistry's reply:

    Hi Samantha
    Thank you for your feedback with your trial and wedding day experience. We are saddened to hear that it was not the best experience and will always aim to improve in areas when needed.

    Our trials include 1 makeup and/or 1 hair style look and any other looks (besides minor adjustments) are an additional fee. Our stylist had offered to stay to do the additional style for you for the additional fee but it was declined. We do have this information on our website in the FAQ section. Based on your feedback, we will make this information more visible since you had not seen the information regarding trials.

    For the lipstick, our artist used the same red lipstick you had worn on your trial day and when we had followed up with you after the trial, we did not hear back from you regarding transferring of lipstick and therefore believed you were satisfied with your makeup overall. Our artist also gave a sample of the lipstick you wore for reapplication if needed but had also used techniques like filling in your lips with red lip liner to keep the longevity of the red. Based on your feedback we will look into other brands that might have a more long wearing/transfer proof red lipstick available and make other brides aware of lipsticks vs lip stains and their longevity especially for bold colours.

    We again are very sorry to hear of your experience and will use your feedback to improve in those areas mentioned.

    Wishing you the best and congratulations on getting married!

    Great MakeUp and Hair Artists!

    My wedding was 3 weeks ago and I had such a great experience with my makeup and hair artists. I did a makeup trial a few months before my wedding with Ama and it was the best makeup I’ve ever had done! She really listened to what I wanted and it looked the same on my wedding day. Karla also did a great job with my sisters hair and my family’s makeup! Victoria is responsive and the prices are very reasonable. I was very happy with how everything turned out.

    Thank you Victoria!

    Victoria and team did the hair and makeup for myself, and 5 others. From the first phone call, she was very easy to talk to. I ended up doing two makeup trials because we couldn't find a lip colour in Victoria's collection that matched my darker skin tone, and some of the makeup didn't sit well on me throughout the day. Victoria advised I visit a sephora and pick up a lip colour I liked, which I did. On the second trial, Victoria spent time trying different makeup colours and types to see which I would like. She was determined to help me find a look that I would love for my wedding day.
    Eventually we found the look, and Victoria flawlessly recreated it for the day! She also worked really well with the rest of my bridal party, taking into account their different preferences.
    Overall, Victoria is a wonderful person - I loved chatting with her the morning of my wedding, she has such a calming presence. Thank you so much!

    Excellent experience

    For my wedding I wanted a natural look that also looked great in photos. Victoria did a wonderful job of taking note of exactly what I wanted and bringing it to life for my wedding day. It was natural, showed up well in photos and lasted all night. We had Christina do our hair and she was super flexible working with me and the bridesmaids as well as a blowout for my mom. All our looks were ready in time for photos and me and the girls loved our looks. You can’t go wrong with these ladies for your big day!

    Amazing experience!

    I had a wonderful experince with Victoria Barret services! Victoria was very response and accomodative of my requests. Karla was a hair and make up artist and she did a spectacular job for my hair and make up during the bridal trial, and on the wedding day. My mom also had hair and make up done and looked beautiful. I felt like a movie star when I saw the final look! Plus Karla was a pleasure to interact with. I would 100% recommend this vendor to others! Attached are some pictures
