Makeup near Clayton

“My hair was a mess. Balayage grown out for over a year and a half (done at a different salon), hadn't even had a trim in just as long. Bad decisions were made but the decision to visit Frontier Salon was definitely not one of them.
Shelley and Lacy are great ladies, I got to have both of them work on my hair due to appointment timing and the sheer amount of hair on my head. They were professional, super clean, took my indecisiveness in stride, and both offered great advice when I didn't quite know what to do.
The Salon is so cute and in a great location with lots of other great little shops and restaurants just a wander away if you feel like making a day of it.
I'd like to say I'll be better about keeping up on my hair, but I know me, and at least I know I can go get it fixed before I seriously consider shaving it all off.“

“TLDR; If you are a Bride, you NEED Abhilasha for your wedding. Book her early because trust me it will be the best choice you make.

Abhilasha (Abby as I fondly call her) is AMAZING! Abby did my looks (hair, makeup & draping) for all 4 events as well as for my husband. She made us feel confident, beautiful, and radiant with each look that half the stressors of the day leave you.

Abby started with an intro call to understand each other's styles, preferences, goals from what we would like. She also got a good idea of the skincare routine I was and was not doing. From that moment on I was taken care of. Abby provided a detailed lifestyle to promote healthy skin, products to use (based on what you had already) and water goals to meet. I can safely say I am still following this and will be.

Abby builds a relationship with you! For both of us she was our go to for looks, skin care, hair care and so much more. She checked in with us routinely leading up to the wedding and is a friend more than an artist. You want someone like that by your side especially if you are spending so much time, energy and effort. She takes the time to know who YOU are and creates the YOU that needs to shine that day. Abby has really been a rock. Seen me at 4am before coffee, zoned out, practicing steps while getting hair done, and so much more.

I will also add her team did an outstanding job of catering to our family and getting everyone from both our families to glow as well. As I stated Abby and Team Abby are what you need. Lock it in!“

“I had my first facial today with Lanay (Glo2 Platinum Facial) and highly recommend her spa! My skin feels hydrated and so much brighter and cleaner than when I first walked in. Lanay is so sweet and relaxing to talk to and her space made me feel so calm. I can't wait to return for more services in the future!“

“I couldn't be happier with the haircuts and highlights from Amy. I get so many compliments!!! I come every 5-6 weeks religiously. The new location is really convenient. The setting and ambiance is bright and uplifting. I highly recommend!“

“Aileen Bautista has been doing a phenomenal job styling and caring for my long and thick Asian hair. She was a referral from one of my girl friends, and I'm so glad I was receptive. I've been seeing her once every few months and before events or travels. She always has my hair looking right!! Ever since I've been going to Aileen for my hair needs, I've finally fallen in love with my hair! Thank you“

“Petra is the best!! She has been cutting my hair for years! Probably the best hair stylist I have ever been to!“

“Sarah did makeup for our company's headshot event and all I can say is WOW- thank you Sarah! Everyone felt so comfortable with her and was amazed with her artistry. Her products are great. She was very easy to work with for setting the event up and really went above and beyond for our team. Highly recommend Sarah to anyone!“

“As someone who rarely wears makeup, I'm always a bit skeptical when I get my makeup done. I have always preferred a more natural look, and more often than not, the end result tends to be too dark. However, I am absolutely thrilled to say that Manda exceeded all my expectations with her exceptional skills! From the very beginning, she was responsive and friendly. Not only was she a true professional, but she was also incredibly easy to get along with which made my time at her studio fly by so fast. She was sweet and made me feel very beautiful. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible job she did in preparing me for my engagement photo session. If you are in need of a makeup artist for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Manda without hesitation. She is truly the one to trust!“

“Maricela did a great job! She fit me in her schedule really quickly and was incredibly kind. I was really happy with the color and cut. Highly recommend!“

“Val is the best! I booked with her for a recent event! Customer service was excellent! Val was very knowledgeable about skincare and products! Val demonstrated the ability to work with sensitive skin! I would highly recommend her!“

“As a long time client of Denica's for over 20+ years, I can say unequivocally and emphatically say that no hair stylist will ever do a better job of making you look absolutely fabulous than Denica! Denica has mastered the art and science of hair styling and is a down to earth, super friendly and funny person. Most importantly, she is a very good listener when it comes to the kind of hair cut you desire. In life if you can find an excellent doctor to take care of you when you're sick; an experienced CPA who can do your taxes; and a fantastic hair stylist who can make you look your best, you are a very lucky person!“

“I'm not one who posts reviews all the time but I just want to recommend Celia. I've been going to her since last year and I just want to let everyone know that she is great with her job! I always get compliments about my lashes and they don't fall off quickly. Celia listens to her client's requests and is honest if she can't do them. It's pretty hard to search for a good lash tech but I think you won't regret it if you book an appointment with her.“

“I have been coming to Trenell for some time now and she is awesome!! I have alopecia and I love my hair extensions! My hair looks so natural I have to tell people I have extensions!! My hair relaxer is so convenient. My morning routine is so much easier since I have started coming to her. My highlights compliment my complexion. I have a customized haircut that flatters my face and personal style. I have noticed since getting my hair extensions removed my hair is getting thicker and fuller. I am soooo happy!Services: Hairstyling“

“I have curly hair and was a strong believer in the Ouidad method of curly haircuts that I had gotten in the past starting over 20 years ago in their NY salon. Those cuts transformed my curls from a frizzy mess to one of soft, shapely curls. When one of the first Ouidad certified hair stylists opened up shop in No. CA I was ecstatic. The cuts were good but not as good the ones I had gotten in the past. Over time, more CA stylists got certified in Ouidad cuts, but they all seemed to move away from the traditional Ouidad "carve and slice" method to modify to their own hybrid way of doing curly cuts. After a while, I stopped letting my hair go curly and have been straightening it for years. I wanted to have the choice to go curly or straight, so last year I went to another stylist who is very popular with people with curly hair and was Ouidad trained. I asked in advance if she used the carve and slice method, but she said she incorporates some of that but also has modified it to her own way of cutting. I thought it was a better cut for my curls than I had gotten from regular stylists, but it wasn't nearly as good as a Ouidad cut for releasing my curls. It was also very expensive. I ended up rarely wearing my hair curly again. Recently, I have been wanting to try going curly again. I found Salon Cartier mentioned as having Ouidad trained stylists in some Nextdoor posts and called them to inquire. Robert, one of the owners, took the time to talk to me about his method and told me that while he does not do a 100% carve and slice method, he described his process and it sounded like he knew what he was doing. I was lucky that he had a cancellation that day, so I booked the appointment. Robert talked to me about my hair, color, texture and products. It was clear he knew what he was doing. While it wasn't a true Ouidad cut, I am very happy with the results. I was able to get similar results as in the salon the next time I did my hair. I thought his price was fair and am loving the bounce that is back in my curls. I will definitely go back for another cut and recommend him to anyone who is struggling with their curls.“

“Great customer service and beautiful work.First time dying my hair and the hair stylists did there best to do what was best for my hair and what I was looking for. Loved the final Result. ♥️Red BalayageServices: Shampoo & conditioning“

“I have been coming to Selena for my hair services for a little over a year now. I absolutely love the atmosphere and how clean and open the salon is. But most importantly I love how Selena listens to exactly what it is I want and is always honest about how my hair lifts. Iv never walked out disappointed ?Services: Balayage“

“This is a great beauty salon. They are very professional. The stylist are so accommodating, and their prices are very reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone. You can sometimes do a walk-in, but you can easily call and make an appointment.“
