Hair and Makeup by Sim Gill

I need to write this review to warn all brides. Sim did my hair for both my Mehndi and my Wedding. During our trial, she took 3 hours for 1 look but told me on my wedding days it will only take 1 hour since now she knows what to do. She took 3 hours to do my hair on my Mehndi and 3 hours on my wedding day. I missed my photoshoots for both days– which also lost me not only a couple hundred dollars for the hours I paid for for the photoshoot, but also missed out on memories in which I wanted to create with those photoshoots. Our families photoshoots were missed too which upset the whole family which then upset us the whole night. I was polite, thanked Sim, and paid her in full because I did not want issues– but I was devastated both days. Not only that– but the hair was worse than it was during the trial for the Mehndi look, and she could not do the look I wanted for my wedding– it was nothing like the photo I showed. I asked for Hollywood waves and I got curls that completely fell apart within an hour, non the less the high sweeping bang I had asked for fell apart within 30 mins. I also asked for my freshly cut hair extensions to be put in the proper places but she left some out because she didn’t understand that the longer lengths go on the top of the head and shorter go on the bottom for a full look at the end of the hair vs a thinned out look extensions that are of equal length give. It took her 3 hours to simply curl my hair. She was extremely slow and did not hustle– even though everyone was telling her we had to finish on time. Sim– you’re sweet, but please do not continue to do hair, and if you are, please do not fool your clients (or perhaps you’re fooling yourself) when you say you will take 1 hour to do hair but actually do it in 3 hours. You continued to say you only had such and such to do and would be done in a few minutes but that turned into hours. She also took 2 hours for bridal party looks and even then my bridal party had to fix their own hair because it wasn’t how they asked and we were pressed on time. Also I was fooled by images of hair she did for a course — she did not create smooth looks like that for us– there were tons of fly-​aways and harsh looking hair. The biggest mistake that made the biggest domino ripple effect for both days was hiring Sim. I wish her the best of luck in things she has school training in (interior design) but please, go to school for hair or let your clients know ahead of time what they will be in for. This must have been your first time doing a bridal party of 4– please for the sake of other brides– bring assistance next time and please please be aware that you do not only take 1 hour to do hair and do not tell people that. I don’t ever write negative reviews but I had a duty to warn others.

Sim did mine and my sister’s makeup couple weeks back and i must say she did a fabulous job. i got so many compliments at the party and they all wanted to know who we got it from. my sister who barely does any makeup. loved it more than when she got it for her wedding. would definately recommend her and will call her again in future.
