I had Alisa and Frances do makeup and hair for me and my bridal party. They are wonderful to work with, I looked amazing and so did everyone in the party. Our photos clearly show this team's talent. Highly recommended.

I would like to thank both Alysa and Frances for their makeup and hair services over the past year. I am a National Figure Competitor and competed in four figure shows in 2010. I found they exceeded my expectations in every respect through my various competitions. From knowing exactly what would best suit my look on stage, to providing professional advice on the spot. I was particularly impressed how far they were willing to go to service my needs, particularly because these competitions require a 5am start time in order to get ready. Both these ladies both know their respective businesses so well and have an eye for knowing what works and what doesn't. They are both incredibly generous in sharing their time to ensure that your day is an absolute success. You couldn’t ask for a better team. From a person who is picky in every way you can be sure that these ladies will do their best in making you look your best for your special day whatever that may be. I can honestly recommend their services to anyone looking for a great hair and make-up artist for any occasion. I am so grateful to have found this dynamic duo they both made me shine on stage. Many thanks to the both of you! Mary Luciano, National Figure Competitor

Alisa and Frances did my make-up on-site at our wedding venue. They did a very good job on both my hair and my make-up, but I have to say that I was was extremely disappointed with their professionalism. Alisa showed up half an hour late (even though I had confirmed with her 2 weeks before the wedding) and loudly said that she never wanted again to come to Graydon Hall Manor again because there were so many stairs and no elevator. (If she really did not like this, she should have said no to me in the first place. She had assured me she had worked there several times and liked it there. This is really not the first thing a bride wants to here on her wedding day.) I had let Alisa and Frances know that myself and my 2 bridesmaids needed to be ready by 9:00am and they had said that this would be plenty of time. We were going to do pictures before the ceremony with the groomsmen and groom, but there was not any time to do this. I really wanted to continue with the getting ready part, but Frances and Alisa both stopped to share the bridal party's breakfast outside of the room we were getting ready in. It was incredibly frustrating to know that they were out there eating when I needed to be getting ready. Frances and Alisa know each other very well and have worked with each other many times. They chatted the whole way through the process which was fine, but when they commented on my mother (who is asian) they said that she speaks very good english. (my mother was born in Canada, of course she speaks very good english). Needless to say, my mother was very offended by this remark. While I was happy with the service that they provided, I was not happy with the manner it was done in. (especially because I have read so many good reviews about these too!) If you are booking with them, I would just double/triple check their arrival times and firmly let them know when you need to be ready by.

I am truly baffled by this review, not only did we arrive on time, Frances at 7 as planned and I at 7:30, exactly as stated in our written contract which I had with me, but the bridal party arrived only at 7:20, claiming that bad traffic had delayed them. I actually had to wait around for them to get organized and sit in my chair, this and the fact that the Bride's mother was not satisfied with the hairdo she got elsewhere and then needed to get restyled by us, was the factor that delayed us and nothing else. Yes, we helped ourselves to coffee and tea that were offered to us by the wait staff at the manor, but we wasted no time at all and drank it at our work stations. Frances and I had the bride ready exactly on time and she spent an hour in the next room having her pictures taken, while we finished up working on her mom. Since we were so busy we did not bother to count the money in the envelopes that were handed to us earlier and only before leaving did we realize that the bride neglected to pay us in full,(because of the added person), unfortunately I had to approach the Bride to take care of the matter which caused her to get angry, I am very sorry that things did not go perfectly that morning for Tracy, partly because of her late arrival, which is truly regrettable, however I am satisfied that even according to her we did a wonderful job and she received lots of compliments from everybody.

I had my makeup done by Alysa and my hair done by Francis, whom Alysa works with frequently. they were amazing. i ended up having a couple more people wanting their services than we had previously planned on and due to me getting ready slower than expected, i was late in letting them in so they could get started. not only did they jump right into what needed to be done, they took what i threw at them and handed me everything i could possibly want. all the ladies looked amazing! i wanted very dramatic makeup and so Alysa fashioned everyone to be dramatic. it made us look like we belonged in pictures together. and the hair... Francis did such an amazing job. my mother-in-law had very short curly hair.. a wash and go style and Francis took that and turned it into an elegant look that actually made her look younger!! she's doing that style every day now she loved it so much! the hair styles were so unique and suited each person so well it was amazing. with hair and makeup we all looked like movie stars. even with the late start, they both had my party out and ready with time to spare. i had to leave and they cleaned up and locked up behind them. i didn't have to worry about anything and that was a relief. Alysa and Francis were amazing and i very highly recommend them!!!

ALISA LYONS make up and hair - Alisa and Frances are an amazing duo. They came to our hotel suite on the morning of the wedding and got 10 women ready in 5 hours....and we all looked fabulous! I have been in a lot of weddings and there's usually at least one person that's unhappy with the hair and make up...not this time! Not one single complaint from anyone! They did a phenomenal job and the prices are very reasonable. I swear they took 20 years off the Moms! I am convinced that Frances can do anything with hair and Alisa is a true artist. Really, really beautiful job by both of them.
