Disney Cosmo no more

[Meags912]

I just got back from my wedding. Lisa did the hair for my maid of honor and I and they turned out great. I didn't do a trial run, just told her what I wanted and it came out perfect. While talking to Lise and the makeup person (I can't remember her name now), they said that Disney was outsourcing them and they were all losing their jobs in a few months. I would definitely recommend Lisa to any Disney brides.

I, too, can recommend Irene. She did my hair and make-up for our 9:00 A.M. ceremony and for the MK session 2 days later. She was on time, put me right at ease and I was very happy with her work.

Thanks to all of the past brides who have been saying such good things about Irene, Lisa, et al...I'm feeling so much better about all of this now! I plan to try to book Irene, but she's in the middle of a move now, so she's not taking appointments just yet.

I was originally thinking about having my hair done at the Ivy Trellis Salon (since we were planning on being at GF 1900 Park Fare for breakfast).... Has anyone had their hair done there? Or know of prices??

I had mine done there and the Disney Cosmo lady redid it for me. Ivy Trellis doesn't do many bride hair-do's. They didn't really have a clue.

I am fine with not having Disney Cosmotology, especially since it seems to be alot of the same people for less money! I do, however, find it interesting that they are still including the Disney Cosmotology information in the planning packets -- I just received mine yesterday for my March 2006 wedding, when Disney Cosmo will be long gone.

I would not recommend Ivy Trellis based on an experience my sister had there. She was the maid of honor in our wedding and decided to highlight her hair at home herself before she left; it went from dirty blonde to orange and bleach streaks. We took her to Ivy T. to be fixed & they made it worse!! $150 later she left in tears, she went a brighter shade of tiger stripe red 2 days before the wedding so went back, they made her look like a clown again! Then we took her to a place about 45 minutes away and they fixed her back to a decent shade. Now i know this is with color, but they seemed very incompetent; they may be fine with wedding updo's but i would have a trial run first. Because our experience was a nightmare there, and my poor sister didn't get to go to any of the parks before the wedding b/c she spent almost 2 full days there plus 1 at the other salon! good luck!

What a shame they are doing this. Serena did my make up and I highly recommend her.
Good luck to all the future Disney brides with finding the right person and I'm sure anyone that had worked for Disney Cosmo will do a great job still.

This is upsetting news! I think doing things with Disney made me comfortable. Now that i don't know who will be doing my hair and make-up I am upset. How will I know if I like the person's style? And how will an outside person's fees be? I can imagine travel expenses will be added in. This makes me very unhappy.

I wouldn't worry. I can tell you Carmen at GF/Ivy Trellis does excellent hair. She did mine for V&A dinner and it was spectacular. She also cuts my hubby's hair every time we are in the area. There is also another lady that was working while I was in..she also did an absolute fantastic job..she ws doing wedding hair while I was in the other chair.

Okay, SO our wedding is 10/18/05 and it's coming up FAST! SO when I heard all the news about Disney Cosmo being no more I FREAKED and called my EM/Coordinator/their assistants ANYONE from DFTW. So I called and spoke with an assistant since my EM/Coordinator were out of the office and got the confirmation that Disney Cosmo IS no more after Oct 1. GREAT! <insert sarcasm here> So I hop on here and get the number for Lisa and give her a ring. I book with Lisa for my trial run, my day of and the MK photo shoot. After booking all that I sigh with RELIEF (F.Y.I. Future Disney Brides from what I was quoted with Disney Cosmo she is a few dollars more but I've heard she's worth it!) Anyway! A day passes and I get an updated Budget estimate for our wedding and Disney Cosmo is STILL on there. I then call the number that is listed for Disney Cosmo and CONFIRM that even though they ending Disney Cosmo that they are still doing brides that have BOOKED before Oct 1. I then FREAK again because I booked with Lisa (just the day before) and she was SUCH a pleasant person on the phone and everyone on here made SOO many great comments about her. SO I call my DFTW AGAIN!! Hoping that my EM/Coordinator SOMEONE pertaining to my wedding would be there. And yes someone was!! So THEY called Disney Cosmo AGAIN and got a SECOND confirmation for me and sadly I called Lisa back and cancelled my appointments with her. (pinching all the pennies I can at this point!!) So you're probably wondering what the point of the story is . . . CALL YOUR EM/Coordinator and just make sure that you either HAVE or NOT HAVE Disney Cosmo. For the sake of Lisa and all the other outside cosmo vendors (and soon to be outside vendors)

This just borders on the silly. It would be nice to know the "true" details from Disney, instead of everyone trying to pull it out piece by piece.

Our wedding is on 10/22/05, and I was told that we have nothing to worry about because we have already booked Disney Cosmetology.

We are thinking about canceling with Disney Cosmetology now since we heard how great Lisa and Irene are.

Someone said that Lisa quoted her these prices: $65 for hair and $55 for makeup.

What does Lisa charge for the early in the morning MK photo session hair and makeup?

Disney Cosmo quoted us at $80 for hair and $65 for makeup.

EXACTLY!! Don't go through what I did!! CALL YOUR EM/COORDINATOR ASAP IF YOU ARE UNSURE!

 

[EvilinaDM101]

She was charging me $150.00 for the early morning shoot. FLAT rate.

HTH

Disney Cosmo charges a rate of $200 for hair and makeup for the MK Photo Session. So Lisa's $150 rate is a lot better than Disney Cosmo.
