Beauty Speciale Vs. Fairytale Hair

[Sarah727]

I cant decide!! Someone tell me what to do! I am having a little trouble finding many photos from the Orlando Fairytale, as many of the online photos are from their salons in other states. Any feedback on either or?

I have heard that Fairytale has a hard time with time-management. Everyone I have spoken to says they do the bride last and she usually doesn't end up getting the look she wants because they run out of time. I have also heard that they don't do well with inspiration photos. I have heard many good things about beauty speaciale.

These were the two I was trying to decide between too. I couldn't find much info for Fairytale, so I ended up going with Beaute Speciale. I was the only one getting hair and makeup done so I can't comment on time management much other than to say they got me ready on time. Jennifer did a great job and was fun to work with.

I have heard the same about Fairytale but no real experience with them.

Thanks everyone for the feedback--did you request a certain stylist or just roll the dice?

I have heard the same about Fairytale (but again, no experience with them). For our engagement pics, I used Beaute Speciale and had Jackie. She was awesome. A lot of fun and I loved my hair and make up.

I used beauty speciale and they did a great job with hair as well as makeup. I wish I could tell you their names! But they were really good. Can't say my hair looked much like the pics I showed but I loved it anyway. And really I have no idea if my hair would have been long enough for the styles I showed them. They were on time,'did me first and then my flower girl.

I talk regularly with other brides on the facebook and reviews from B.Speciale lately have been very negative.

I had my hair and makeup done by them a month ago and was not happy. My makeup was caked on too thick, I kept asking for it lighter and ended up fixing it myself in the end. Asked for a side bun, got a bun but in the centre and you cannot see it in any of my pics Its hidden

I also found my hair / makeup stylist very unprofessional, she was gossiping about the bride she did before me, telling me about her bust up with her mother and they were both crying etc. None of my business.

She also kept reminding me how tired she was (she was on the go since 5am) and she had no breakfast. So I sat there feeling like a burden and a pain in the backside. It was uncomfortable and awkward. Iam not going to name the stylist because Iam not that evil.

But I would say this - I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. Very bad service and not worth the money.

I used Beaute's services for my wedding, and had nothing but nice things to say. The girls were friendly, on time, professional, and did an excellent job on me, my bridesmaids, my mother, my mother in law, and sister in law. I've seen many positive reviews, and I have seen a handful I negative ones recently, but that's possible with any company.

Doing a trial first is a really good idea if you can manage it. Even though I changed styles between my trial and wedding, I had already met Rosie, and felt comfortable with her, which helped me communicate the changes I wanted from the style we did at my trial.

If Beaute doesn't look to be to your taste, Patricia LeJune is also highly recommended, as well as Janet Mednick with OnSite Beauty.

I used Beaute Speciale for my hair and makeup and my two daughters' hair and they were amazing! They were able to replicate the picture I had brought flawlessly and while I don't usually wear makeup and was kinda nervous about having someone do it, they did an excellent job making me look so pretty while making it look so natural. They were patient with my older daughter who hates having her hair done and has a hard time sitting still and treated my baby girl like a princess. I can't say enough wonderful things about them!

I also used Beaute Speciale for my Escape wedding. Jackie and Isa were the stylists who worked with me, my mom, my sister and then five year old niece. We had an awesome experience with them! They showed up at 5:30 on the dot and were so much fun to chat with as they were getting us ready. I had an inspiration-ish pic for my hair, and Isa replicated it. My only "demand" was that I not have any tendrils hanging down. I hate that. My mom, sister and niece just let them do what they wanted, and all were very pleased. None of us is a big make-up wearer, and none of us had anything special in mind for make-up, just soft and natural. We all had the airbrush make-up and it lasted pretty much all day and evening.

I said to mom at one point during the day that I just loved looking at myself I felt beautiful but like myself.

I would highly recommend Beaute Speciale, and in fact, plan on using them when we do another photo shoot on vacation next year.

Thanks for all the feedback. I have booked them for the wedding and a trial. Their prices also seemed more reasonable than many of the others. I will keep everyone posted!

Good to know!

I used Patricia LeJeune...LOVED her!

 

[MooskaMinnie]

We used Beaute for our wedding last December and they were SO worth the cost! Everything was perfect and everyone looked beautiful.

Patricia LeJeune would be my next suggestion.
