Stylist To Go

I used stylist to go for a formal dinner I had to attend. They were very responsive and incredibly convenient! My make up and hair looked fabulous and I received many compliments throughout the night. Amy was great to work with. I highly recommend them for anyone needing an updo and makeup for a special event.

I booked Stylist to Go for hair and makeup services for my elopement party for 9 people (bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, etc.). I must say, I’d give the stylists themselves 5*s, but the organization of the company left a little to be desired. Everyone else has left such glowing reviews that I hope this was only my experience, but thought it important to share regardless. In case you don’t get through my whole saga, which I understand, the sum of it is that I didn’t get a confirmation before the day before, had a hard time getting Amy on the phone, and then was double charged (but then un-​doublecharged without contact).
So… here’s the whole saga. Good luck following along. Elopement party was on ¹⁰⁄₁₇. I filled out the details sheet on ¹⁰⁄₈ and received an email from Amy that day telling me that later that day I would receive a «final service schedule and set it along with your confirmation email» as well as a final invoice. I received neither and realized on ¹⁰⁄₁₄ that I hadn’t gotten the schedule or invoice. I sent Amy an email on ¹⁰⁄₁₄ and asked when we were starting hair and makeup. No response. Then on 10/​16, I texted and called and was unable to get Amy on the phone. At that point, it was the day before the party, and I was freaking out a bit because I still didn’t know what time we were starting (or whether we were starting at all!) I found another number on the website and called that number and finally heard back from someone at 1:35p the day before the wedding with the schedule.
The final invoice also came that day and it said «This payment should be received before midnight, on the day of your reserved wedding day services.» So, I read that as payment after services, which is apparently incorrect, because later that day, Oct 16, 2015 at 6:15 PM, I received a notice that if the invoice wasn’t paid by midnight that day, I’d be charged a late fee. I didn’t see it until after midnight and because this was inconsistent with the earlier email, I freaked out and paid it as soon as I saw it even though my step mother was actually paying for the services.
So anyway, services were great. Wedding complete, honeymoon complete. We told the stylists to run my stepmom’s card while we were there. However, then we saw later that both my stepmother and I had both been charged for the services. I had to call Amy and it turns out that I was actually refunded through paypal but there had been zero communication of that fact.
So, stylists great, communication could use some work. My least favorite part of this whole thing was during an apology from Amy, she accused me of sending my details sheet late (which I did not, and which she admitted later). If you mess something up, trying to blame it on the consumer is not a good look. I’d rather just get an apology and leave it at that.

I used Stylist to Go for my wedding last year and it was a fantastic experience. I had them do hair and makeup for a few bridesmaids and me. I also did a hair trial which I’m very grateful I did because it helped me revise how I would have my hair for my wedding. All of our hair and makeup was perfect. I loved how I came out and still look at my photos and appreciate what a great job they did! They were also very flexible before the wedding because I had a couple last minute changes when a bridesmaid decided to do her own hair. They were really nice about it and helped me adjust my contract twice within a month before the wedding.

They are really hard to get a hold of I tried calling more than 3 times until I finally got a hold of someone and she told me she has people available for the date I was requesting to do my hair and later i got an email telling me that they were all booked. I was disappointed.

I used Stylist to Go for my wedding.
Amy (the owner) at Stylist to Go was always on top of everything, very responsive and very professional. Since I was the only one getting my hair done (my bridesmaids opted to do their own hair and makeup to save having to pay for it themselves), it was hard for me to find a vendor with no minimums. I was fortunate enough to find Stylist to Go who had no minimums, and Carmen, who did my hair trial and my wedding hair, was perfect.
Carmen listened to my vision and worked off of my Pinterest board seamlessly. She combined looks together to give me the look that I loved. She pinned my veil to my hair and stayed a little longer after I had gotten into my gown to make sure my veil would stay in place. I was very happy with her services and her attention to detail and my vision. She was friendly and patient, and I could not have asked for anyone better. Would definitely recommend them.

I am so excited about this service! I hate going to salons… I don’t feel pampered, I feel impatient. And after years of dying my hair myself and finding myself with a head of different-​colored sections, I knew I was going to need some time to get it all straightened out.
Amy was prompt and informative from my first email. At my first appointment, we talked about what I wanted and I showed her some photos and we came up with a plan for my damaged hair. I’ve gotten so many compliments in the six months since I’ve been a customer and continue to be impressed with the level of customer service. When Amy was out recently, Carmen was my stylist and did an excellent job as well.
I’m only sad I didn’t know about her when I got married several years ago!

I looked into Stylist-​to-​go for an in-​home haircut and I could not be more pleased with the service. All e-​mail correspondence leading up to the appointment was timely and professional — much more so than calling a salon. The stylist kept me up to date on their arrival time so although she was running a few minutes late, she texted me beforehand so there was no waiting around on my part.
After she set up we did an in depth consultation (10 – 15 minutes) where she taught me a lot about my own hair and we talked about the pros and cons of various styles and color options. I was really impressed.
She was there from 4:45 — 6:15pm (for just a haircut!) and her full attention was on me and my haircut the entire time. I’ve never noticed how distracted stylists are in salons until I had someone in my home. At salons often times stylists are interrupted by phone calls, other clients, the receptionist etc. and you’re not given the attention that you’re paying high prices for.
Five stars for this service and convenience!

I called Stylist to Go last night to see if someone could do my hair this afternoon for my interview. To my delight Amy made time to give me an up do and I was blown away by the result! I contacted Stylist to Go because of the numerous rave reviews they received on Unilocal and I wanted to take my place in line to sing their praises :-) Not only was Amy friendly and professional but she made some very helpful suggestions about how to better care for my hair. It was such a pleasure meeting her and I will definitely be calling her again. If you’re looking for a stylist don’t hesitate to call Stylist to Go; they do it all in the convenience of your home!

I was beyond impressed with Stylist To Go. I ended up booking them somewhat last minute for my wedding this weekend. Amy was HIGHLY responsive and professional and was patient with my many questions. On my wedding day, Amy and Catherine showed up at my hotel with their gear in tow to do my hair and makeup and my mom’s makeup for my wedding and WOW. They definitely created a fabulous look for me that was beyond all my expectations. Amy was able to work with my thick mid-​length hair and create an updo that was beautiful and classic. And Catherine did a fabulous job with my makeup and my mom’s makeup too. I looked like a more glam version of myself, but I still felt like me. These gals clearly love what they do and it shows in their work. I highly recommend them for your special event.

Stylist To Go was perfect for me, I found them here on Unilocal and based on the reviews I decided to give it a try getting highlights and a cut, glad I made the decision to contact Amy, to begin she’s super helpful, she went above and beyond to find the perfect color and style for me, she came to my house (another plus, very convenient) and worked with such dedication on my hair, the results, gorgeous color (my first time coloring my hair course I was nervous) my cut was my favorite part, she styled my hair and gave me what in my opinion is the perfect cut, I totally recommend stylist to go/​Amy to any girl looking for the perfect look trust me you won’t regret it!, I know that from today on I won’t be visiting any salons since I have the best salon coming my way!

Stylist To Go was the perfect fit for me and my wedding party. I found them on Unilocal and the reviews didn’t lie. The prices are reasonable and the girls that work there are very professional and know what they are doing. It’s awesome because instead of having to go to a salon, they come directly to you. The consultation was a great option as well and as a bride, put my mind at ease for when the big day came along. This was done in the convenience of my own home with champagne in my hand :) They even did my Flower Girl’s hair last minute on my wedding day because she got all upset that everyone was getting their hair done but her :)
Very Professional and convenient. I highly recommend them!

I am happy to give Amy a 5 star review. She has both cut my hair and given me an undo and I’ve worked with her make up artist, too. Easy to schedule, very professional, so convenient, and I’m thrilled with the results. I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a talented stylist who can come to your house! Doesn’t get much more convenient than that!

I had the pleasure of having Amy style my up-​do today and it is FLAWLESS. I’m visiting from out of town for a formal military function, and Unilocal didn’t lead me astray! I have a regular salon in Norfolk, and I’m actually more pleased with Amy’s styling (and price) than at my regular salon.
She was easy to schedule (despite me waiting until the last minute), punctual, and talented. I can’t over-​emphasize the convenience of having her come to me!
I will definitely call her again for events in the area, and highly recommend her to anyone in town.

Amy has been my stylist for several months now. My hair has never looked better! I hate to take the time to do my hair and she has given me great tips on how to maintain it. She definitely understands how to take care of thick, curly hair, which is a major plus. I’ve had stylists before who didn’t know what to do with my curls, so I’d always straighten it. With Amy’s help, I’ve been wearing it curly almost every day and people comment on how nice it looks. They didn’t even know I had curly hair!
Best of all is the convenience factor. She comes to my house every 6 weeks. This is key for me because finding time to get to the salon is tough for a working mom. I always found it hard to talk to stylists in a salon, but being in my own home made me feel comfortable right away. Amy is so friendly that it’s hard not to talk to her. Great to finally find a stylist that works perfectly for me. Thanks, Amy!

The ladies were a pleasure to work with. They were extremely quick to respond via email which is nice because I’m very busy. They came to my house 10 minutes before schedule and worked quickly and professionally. I was impressed that they were able to do my hair and makeup at the same time without disturbing each other. The work was flawless. I am 6 month’s pregnant and it is really important to feel pretty during this time… which they did. Everyone said I looked like a Barbie =). I am planning to use them again for my babyshower because they don’t charge a lot and it is well worth it.

Amy and Catherine did a phenomenal job on hair and makeup for our wedding party! Not only were Amy’s rates reasonable, she was always courteous, professional, and quick to respond to e-​mails and phone calls. I’d never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. I had a hard time articulating exactly what I wanted with regards to my hair, but Amy knew how to work with my pin-​straight Asian hair and make it look like what I was hoping for on the big day. They arrived at 9:30 am planning to only do my hair and makeup, my mom’s hair, and one of my bridesmaid’s hair. They were flexible enough to accommodate adding services (makeup for my mom, hair for another bridesmaid) AND still had us ready by 12:30 pm to meet our limo driver at 1 pm. My hair and makeup lasted the whole day/​night… it even held up at the afterparty! I wish I had more special events to go to that required hiring Amy and Catherine… definitely keep Stylist to Go on your list of vendors to check out for your hair/​makeup needs.

Amy did an amazing job for me and my wedding party! We looked awesome! Amy was very professional and easy to work with. I’m very laid back and her friendly attitude really fit in with us on our day. Was really a pleasant experience. For the level of work she did, her prices are very reasonable and worth every penny. We even had to add an extra client that day and she had no problem accomodating us.
One of my bridesmaids now drives all the way from MD to see her now to get her hair styled. I am out of the area now or else I would too!

Amy was wonderful from beginning to end, my whole wedding party was VERY IMPRESSED. Below is some background information in bulletin form to make it easier:
Event type: Wedding
Location: Lorien Hotel, Old Town Alexandria.
Number of people: Myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, Mother of the Groom, and flower girl… All by herself.
Contacting Amy: Very easy, and she responds promptly to her emails and phone calls. She always made me feel like a priority and never me feel that I should be doing this or that. Most importantly, she LISTENS TO HER CLIENTS.
The trial: I had a trial hair cut at the salon where Amy works. She made me a top priority… very impressive. I went after work around 6:00 and I stayed for about 1.5−2.00 hours. She does not double or triple book you with other clients — When you go to her, you are the priority.
The wedding: The entire preparation stemmed from the hair.
Amy created an agenda starting at 11:00 am for 4:30 photographs allowing enough time for all 6 of us to get our hair done and have make up done intermittently.
We were done EARLY — and were not stressed for time at all due to her planning so well. Amy was professional, on task, and extremely down to earth.
She takes what you ask for and brings it to fruition.
My mother-​in-​law who is usually skeptical about how well things turn out was impressed.
Recommended: Absolutely!
I am recommending her to all of my friends getting married. She does not overcharge you and really makes it a great experience working with her.

I used Amy for my wedding, she did my hair, the flower girls hair, bridesmaids and grandmother ALL by herself and each look was AMAZING! I went to her with my inspiration old Hollywood glam and she was able to use that and create an amazing hair style. She did all the styles from the comfort of my own home and her prices were affordable.
I was so impressed with her work I had to let her cut my hair after the wedding. I’m very picky about cutting my hair and have had horrible experiences at salons with scissor happy stylists. I told Amy exactly what I wanted and she was able to give me a great cut that had great shape and volume.
If you’re looking for a stylist that you can trust look no further!

I love AMY, she cuts my hair, my daughter’s hair and my husband’s hair. The flexibility of her coming to my house is a HUGE plus for me. I hate going to salon because I feel that my stylist isn’t ALL ABOUT ME, since other clients are there to see him/​her with Amy I feel so special because she is there to do my hair and just my hair, no rushing nor putting me on hold to check on someone else’s color.lol.
over all, her technique is good and she always gives me great tidbits and advice for hair care and overal maintenance care, after she leaves… so I can have salon ready hair any day!
