About Eye For Beauty CT

Eye For Beauty CT

Owner

I'm a licensed esthetician and makeup artist. My background is in TV and working for several beauty companies across the country. We do a lot of maternity/family session hair & makeup during the week and weddings on weekends. However, I'm always down for a weekday wedding having eloped myself. Our beauty team specializes in natural makeup applications and romantic hair styling. We travel to you for your special day or event.

Our artists all have a similar esthetic and style. We pride ourselves on being really nice and easy to work with- highly organized, great at communicating and answering any questions you have along the way. We all REALLY love what we do and can't wait to make you feel your best on such an important day!

  • Day of Cancellation-Unprofessional Business Owner

    The owner Kim was very unprofessional, cancelled the morning of my wedding, and ignored my emails afterwards. I had 2 make up artists and 2 hair stylists scheduled for me and my wedding party. Kim, the owner, was scheduled to do my makeup as she had done my makeup trial. She texted me, not even called, 2 hours before she was supposed to be at the location to tell me she was unable to come. She DID NOT send a make up artist in her place. With only 3 out of the 4 scheduled people showing up, our time was incredibly rushed. I had 7 bridesmaids in addition to myself. As the bride going last, my hair and makeup suffered the most. The makeup artist who ended up doing my makeup had no notes from Kim from my trial and did not have the same products used in the trial. My hair was rushed and fell completely flat within the hour. My bridesmaids had to track down a curling iron and recurl my entire head before the ceremony. Kim did not ONCE reach out after my wedding day to see if everything went okay in her absence. I had to reach out to her to discuss my issues with the services. I offered to speak with her on the phone several times and she declined each time, she only communicated over email with me. When I explained my issues, she was less than sympathetic. I asked for a partial refund on the wedding day services, since she only provided 3 out of 4 contracted stylists, but she ignored my email. I followed up several times, but she stopped responding all together. Overall, very unprofessional and created a lot of added stress for me as a bride on my wedding day.

    Response from vendor•Dec 17, 2024
    First, I want to sincerely apologize again for any stress or disappointment you experienced on your wedding day. While my grandpa’s heart stopped requiring me to step away that morning, I did everything I could to ensure your day still ran smoothly. I immediately communicated the situation with you via text and email in which you responded “I’m sorry to hear about your grandpa and I understand.” I felt confident the remaining team of both hair and makeup artists could accommodate your services, and trusted them to deliver exceptional work, as they consistently do. I completely understand how important this day was, and I regret that my absence caused you any frustration. I also want to note that when you reached out following the wedding, I responded promptly, issued a refund as requested, and offered my sincere apologies for the situation. At Eye For Beauty, professionalism and delivering a stress-free, beautiful bridal experience are at the heart of what we do. I am truly sorry this was not your experience, and I wish you nothing but happiness in your marriage and future.

    Eye For Beauty CT was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, were easy to talk to, and extremely happy to address all of my questions and concerns. The quality of their work was nothing short of impeccable - Kim did my hair and makeup exactly the way I envisioned it, and I felt flawless on our special day. She was on time for our appointment and always had a wonderfully friendly demeanor that made it feel like having a friend getting ready with me. Kim was very patient, listened intently to my requests, and made sure I was completely satisfied. I cannot recommend Eye For Beauty CT highly enough for any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch beauty team to help make their special day truly unforgettable.

    Working with Kim and the team at Eye for Beauty was a dream! As many others have said, I don't wear make-up or style my hair normally, so I was nervous about having to "wear a face" on my wedding day. But my nerves quickly subsided after my hair and make-up trial. DEFINITELY DO THE TRIAL! My concerns were heard and, even though I was unsure about wearing lashes, I barely could tell they were on after a few minutes. Day-of, they were very familiar with the venue (Bill Miller's Castle), and so everything went smoothly (and ahead of schedule!). They were even kind enough to have a stylist/artist go to a family member's hotel room too! Highly recommend choosing Eye for Beauty as your hair/make-up team, especially if you are not typically one to wear make-up!

    Kim and her team are a lovely group. My mother and I had our hair and makeup trials completed a few months before the wedding and the team was extremely receptive to our preferences and any changes we wanted to make to make us feel confident for my wedding day. Darlin and Angela did my hair and makeup and were just fabulous - I could not have been happier. The one disappointment I experienced was one of my flower girl's hairs. I paid 55 for a ponytail with a simple braid that looked like it wasn't even combed through or had any product at all. I know her mother asked for braids, but I would have expected a cleaner look especially for the price. Not to mention, I ended up adding on light makeup for my two flower girls and one junior bridesmaid (ages 4, 8, & 9) and was told it would be 55. There was some miscommunication and misunderstanding here because I didn't realize it was 55 per child for light eyeshadow and lip gloss. I paid it without questioning - it was my wedding day and didn't have time to negotiate on the spot - but it truly felt like a hefty price tag especially considering one of the girl’s hairs could've been done by me in two minutes and the price didn’t reflect the time spent on the work. Not to mention, I was asked to pay for each of the stylist's parking fee that day even though I paid a travel fee. It was about 5 per person but felt a bit like penny pinching. Overall, everyone who had their hair or makeup done by Kim, Darlin, and Angela was very happy with their looks and on a wedding day that's exactly what we want - confident women.
