Glam Squad

i2012do

Has anyone used Sara's Glam Squad only for their makeup.
I just found out Sara is booked on my date.  I cried. Legit cried.

I have the option of the glam squad- but I don't know how I feel about that at all.
I don't want to go into detail here about my aprehsion but I am sure most people get what I mean.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions for makeup.

I think I am going to contact Sam C for hair- does anyone have her contact info?

Hey Hon,

I used Sam C for hair and she was fabulous! I also used Sara and her glam squad for make up. I don't remember the lady's name but she was great! I suggest you book a trial with one of the girls to see if you two are a good fit. I also recommend Jennie Kay or Jennie Kay Beauty but she also books up VERY quickly. Sara's glam squad does offer a lower rate so at least they are more budget friendly.

Thanks, Just emailed Sam. I am going to call Jennie Kay this afternoon,.
Her glam squad is Less expensive, but also just as expensive as some other artists that I think would have more experience in the wedding industry. I know Saras glam squad is a young group. Though- that could mean they are a bit fresh and wuld know what I like.

Thanskfor Sam's email!!

I used Kerri Parks at Skinplicity in EG. She came to me, though, which was awesome. She did a great job and my skin looked flawless. I never wear makeup and have really sensitive skin and rosacea but she uses Youngblood mineral makeup and it was fantastic. (I'm not one for posting pics all over the Internet, but I've still got your e-mail and could send a few if you wanted. )

I am using Holly Dalton who is trying to get her foot in the makeup industry. She is a member of Sara's Glam Squad but I booked her on her own, she does airbrush and my trial was great. She works at Bobbi Brown in Macy's too, and all of Sara's squad was trained specially by her. I understand having reservations about using someone who is not a vet, but she was awesome and it might be worth checking out the Glam Squad.

What Macy's does she work at?

<div>OK. They were kind of big because they're the high-res ones from my photog's disk and I'm on vacation and without Photoshop to resize. The e-mail wasn't returned to me, but let me know! :-)</div>

[QUOTE]Holly does not actually work on my glam squad anymore ladies, she was let go for calling out of a weekend full of weddings last minute (literally 4 days before the first and 5 days before 2). I usually don't write too much on these boards but wanted you all to know this tid bit of info as I feel it is very important in booking your artists.

<div>With apologies to OP for jacking her thread: I wasn't going to but I need to say I think it's inappropriate that you are responding to this on this board as a vendor AND that you are talking publicly and in such detail about the reasons you fired someone whose full name was listed above. It's not only distasteful, it could be actionable on her part.</div><div>

Kristin- I got the photos. Thank you much lady!

Sara- You are booked now on that date, and according to Erin are unable to do both weddings because of the time.
I appreciate your willingness to help.

There will be no more post regarding this matter. The Knot Anne has already resolved the issue. Thank you. 

Please do not force me to close this discussion as I believe the topic here was to offer recommendations for other make up artists. Do not start a thread inferno, I will delete your posts and report you. 

Also, I find it highly suspicious when someone's first post sounds vaguely like a vendor.

Seconding the recommendations of Sam C. and Jennie Kay Murphy--they're amazing, if they're available!  If not, don't worry, someone good will be.

I ended up finding Sam and Jennie Kay because the first 3 sets of people I contacted were not available, and while I'm sure they would have been great, I'm so, so glad I ended up with Sam and Jennie Kay!
