Ana or Patricia?

[Desnik]

I am having a hard time deciding on who to go with for hair/makeup. I want to do a trial in June and I have been to both websites, read some reviews from DIS brides and still can't decide!

So, if I am looking for a natural look for make up and an up do, who would be the better choice? Ana from Beaute Speciale or Patricia LeJuene?:confused3

I have found from comparing styles, that Patricia does a more natural look. Ana does a great job but I find that her style looks like more makeup than I would want to wear on my wedding day. It all depends on what you want for your special day..

Normally when I go out, I do wear all the makeup:rotfl:, but the style of my dress and the fact that it's in the afternoon outside in FL. I want to go for something a little more natural looking.....

HTH! :goodvibes

[Desnik]

That does help, thank you!:goodvibes

Go with Ana. She will do you natural if you ask. She did it for me.

What about an up do? I don't think I have seen too many up do's from Ana?:confused3

[Lynn5700]

Yup she did my hair too. Loved it. She listened to me and did exactly what I asked for. If you don't like something she will fix it.

Check out her site and look at her photo galleries. She really does amazing work and to be honest I think she is the most up to date. Not saying Patricia isn't but I never looked into her so I wouldn't know. I'm not comparing Ana to her.. When I was looking into others I noticed that Ana had up to date pictures..no 90s looking hair lol.

:rotfl2: No 90's looking hair! I know what you mean!
Thanks! I'll go take a look at her site.

Anyone have trials by 2 different people and then decide?:confused3

sorry to slightly hijack? Has anyone had either of them do an all down, curled hairstyle or a part up hairstyle?

I had Ana from Beaute Speciale and Lilly did my makeup. I asked for makeup a bit heavier but she can also do a more natural look.

She does fantastic up-dos. Here is my inspiration picture and then a picture of me on my wedding day. She nailed the inspiration picture without having a trial run!

I used Patricia and we all loved her.

I used Patricia and loved her. I never wear makeup so I was worried about how I would look. I just told her that I wanted to look like me, only better and I thought she delivered. She was also so nice to come back for my BP session the next morning. I hadn't origionally planned for it and she offered (not in a pushy way at all). I'm so glad she did!

ETA: I don't know if this is a concern, but we didn't do a trial run at all. My sister and I both have a TON of thick unruly hair and Patricia did a great job taming it and making it look nice and not so thick and wild on both of us. She also did a good job with my other BM who had thinner hair!

Yeah she did my hair half up and half down.
