Hi Chris 

Hope you are keeping well and Frank too.  

Things are settling down to “normal” now and we’re back in the work routine after the wedding...straight back to earth with a bump! I’ve finally found the time after catching up with everything to send you this email, so huge apologies for the delay!  I’ve attached a few photos I hope you can use too.

I wanted to send you a few words of thanks to put on your website for the fabulous work you did on mine and Zoe’s hair and makeup for my wedding.  Having booked the wedding and organised everything from the UK, I have to say I was a little worried, particularly as we had no trial but my doubts couldn’t have been discarded any quicker from the moment you walked in the door.  I just knew immediately that you would do a fantastic job, you certainly met our expectations and so much more! You worked so professionally and artistically and everyone commented on the beautiful work you did on our hair and makeup.  I have been singing your praises ever since and only wish I lived in Florida so I could get you round for special occasions.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Medusa’s Mane to any potential clients, and hope that one day we have the pleasure of working with you again.  Every time I use my Mac lipgloss I was given on the day, it brings a smile to my face and memories of the happiest day of my life. Thankyou so much!!

Ps.  I spoke to Sherri of Destination Wedding of Florida – she was our photographer and her husband the officiant.  I recommended her to you, and said perhaps you guys could work together and network to recommend each others’ businesses.  She was absolutely fantastic and professional too and we met so many people, we can’t wait to come back. She is on my Facebook friends if you fancy networking for more work, you’ll never get a day off again!

 

Hi Chris

I cannot believe the amount of people that have commented so far on mine and Zoe’s hair/makeup.  I have talked non stop about the wonderful work you did that day and wish there was some way we could fly you to the UK for tomorrow night’s party!!

We only arrived back in the UK last night and have not stopped since then...so much to do and so little time!

Once we get “back to normal” I will send you some photos for your portfolio and of course write on your website. 

I put the professional photos on Facebook so take a look if you haven’t already...you really did us proud and we are eternally grateful.

Chat soon and take care....

Chris thank you so so much for being such a calm and beautiful person. In my time of stress when you arrived you were like family with your love and warmth. You did such a great job on all my bridesmaids hair and my hair and make-up. Alex was blown away by how I looked and so many people commented. You really did make me feel so beautiful. Having you with us was such a great addition to the day. Many many thanks... Hope to see you when we are in the Keys again.

Much love,

Michelle   11/28/09

 

Thank you so much! You guys were great!! I'll send some photos as soon as we get them!

Thank you guys so much for the wonderful service - our hair and make up looked wonderful and the service was impeccable.   You all really helped keep the hours before the wedding lively and stress free.  I am also very pleased that I did not have to stress over you being late - you arrived very promptly and excellent communication - you helped my wedding day be as stress free as one could be!   Everyone looked GORGEOUS! Thanks again!  I have enclosed some pictures for you to use if you would like!

Thanks Again!

Chris,
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for the GREAT job you did on our hair/makeup for my sister's wedding in Key West.  Words can't begin to explain how happy we were!  I will most definitely recommend anyone to you!  Please know that you helped make my sister's wedding a great day!  Thank you for making the time we spent with you some of the best time of our whole vacation! 


Thanks, Chris!
 
We are back home safe from the honeymoon, and I wanted to send you two quick pictures I have of makeup!
 
I do not have any other jpeg images at this time. 
 
Please enjoy.  I received a plethora of "stunning" compliments!!  Please tell Frank Thank you again.
 
~Hope   3/21/09

 


Chris,

I can't even express how beautiful you made me look and feel on my wedding day.  I could not have been any happier with the job you did on me, and neither could Jim.  My new husband wanted me to sleep in a chair so that my hair would last a couple of days(such a guy).  We are still laughing about that one.

I would also like you to thank Frank for me, for the ice as we could not have had our margarita toast with out it.  I will be sending pictures soon..
Thank you soooo much,

Jenn      3/22/09


Chris,

 

I have never felt so beautiful as I did on my wedding day! Everyone loved my hair and makeup and has asked why they can't see that girl at work! You did a great job! Thanks again!

Andrea   3/15/09


Sorry it has taken me some time to get back to you, but we were on our honeymoon. Thank you so much for all your hard work on my wedding day. We all looked spectacular! I will definitely be sending you pictures when I get some back. Hope all is well.

Thanks again,
Jessica


Hi Chris!

Everyone that saw my pictures loved my hair and makeup.  Thanks Again!!!I have attached some pictures.

Chris - 

So sorry we missed you again this weekend.  Frank asked me to send a few pics from the wedding.  I've attached them.  I have more, but can't attach too many or the computer will freeze.  You will have to edit these down to just the face and hair.  Let me know if you need me to do it or need other pics.  You were so great that day!

Hope you are well, and look forward to seeing you next time we're down!

Wendy and Anthony
 

Frank & Chris,
 
I apologize for the delay in getting this to you, but I wanted to wait until I had the professional photos back.
 
Thank you guys so much for the amazing and gorgeous job you did with me and all of my girls.  I felt like a goddess on my wedding day because your work is so amazing and flawless !!!
 
Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating to all of the extra girls who wanted their hair and make-up done after seeing how fabulous everyone else looked !!!   Every single one of the girls & moms you worked on were so happy and felt so beautiful !!
 
You were so entertaining and fun to work with.  You both have great personalities and made me more comfortable and at ease on my big day!!  We all loved you both!!
 
Thanks again for helping to make my day perfect!!

Chris,
 
I wanted to thank you so much for making me look like a princess on my special day.  I had a great time working with you.  You were professional, knowledgeable and patient.  You made my Mom and stepdaughter look beautiful.  I appreciate you getting the orchids for my hair, they absolutely looked gorgeous.  Here are some pictures, once again THANK YOU!!!!!
 
Luli      11/17/08


Chris,

Here are few pictures from the wedding.  I have a ton more so if you would like some different ones just let me know.  I love the way my hair and makeup turned out.  It was perfect.

Thanks again - good luck with your own wedding

Kim Johnson


Hello Chris,
 
Again, thank you so much for the wonderful work you've done on my hair (not easy) and my make up on my special day.
Finally I got the chance to sit down and actually sift through the hundreds of pictures that were taken by several people at the same time.
 
I wish you all the best,
 
Alex M.


Chris,
 
The pleasure was all ours!!!  Here are a few pics that my mom took.  If you want me to I can send more later, when I get the professional pics.  Let me know if you need more of all the "do's".  I will definitely go to your website to add comments after we get settled back in.  Eric was quite speechless when he finally got to see me :) Thank you for everything.

 Rosanne 1/1/09


Thank you so much again for doing such a wonderful job on my hair and makeup for my wedding a few weeks ago.  I have received so many compliments on how great I looked!

Erin


Hey Frank .....Hey Chris

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you guys but I was waiting for my pictures to come back so I could send you some!  I will try to send you a few that show my hair off and my friend Carol took a bunch that I will send to you!  Thanks again for everything - I know we were a little bit rushed at the end but you guys were the best and totally calming!  Everyone said I looked like a movie star and took their breath away!  That was all you guys and thank you so much!  Joe's uncle even said that I should take you guys everywhere with me because I looked so pretty...... I hit him for that (he's supposed to say I always look pretty ...the jerk!) but I totally agree and when i win the lotto and move to Florida we can have a weekly appt.!   Thanks again!

Aimee 1/8/09


And by the way, things are quite awesome!!
It was a pleasure having you on my wedding day as you were quite a calming effect.  I did not know what to expect but you did a wonderful, wonderful job with my hair and make up.  The flowers also looked great, they were a gift from my mom.  The pictures really moved her. Everyone one has commented on how fabulous I looked and it couldn't have happened without your amazing talent.
Your most grateful fan!!

Aline     11/18/08


WOW...  Chris I am still getting phone calls and emails from friends and guests on how AMAZING I looked.  One guest said I looked like the Greek goddess Aphrodite rising from the sea onto the beach.  I still cannot believe how wonderful I felt that day.  There is no one that can compare with the work you do.

Sierra M.     11/10/08


Hello!

I've finally gotten a chance to sit at a computer!
I just wanted to send along some pictures of my wedding on October 4th.  Thank you so much for everything!  Frank is hilarious!  I loved the way my hair and makeup turned out!
Thanks Again!
 
Jessica     10/4/08


I am really looking forward to meeting and working with you both....you have been a real calming factor in this whole wedding. You are so organized and easy to deal with that i know even if everything else goes to shit at least I'll look good!  So thanks again and see you soon!

Aimee      11/8/08


The wedding was great and everyone loved our hair and my makeup. Emily looked so cute! Thanks for doing such a great job!

Julie     11/5/08


Hi Chris, Thank you for doing my hair and make-up, my daughter's hair and make-up and doing my granddaughter's hair with the pink flowers. The wedding was perfect at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park on Wednesday, October 29th at sunset. Thank you for all the time you spent with us. I loved my false eyelashes so much I left them on the next day.
 
Gail Laffin, The new Julie Gibbons and Emily Gibbons.  11/5/08  


Thanks for the quick reply ( you are so good with that!) It may be my day but you are the professional so I am going to take your advice and go with the starfish. I have complete faith in you and your choices so just let me know how many you think I need and let me know how much it is.  And thanks for being so supportive, I know I am probably Bridezillaing it up but you make me feel like I am the only bride you are dealing with. (and i know you have a ton!) It's nice to feel so special and that my day is special to u too! So thanks.

Aimee   10/13/08


Hi Chris,
 
 I'm so sorry it took so long to write. I was slammed with work, thank you cards and that whole name change thing was a bitch when I got home :) Anyway here are some of the pictures from the ceremony & after. Thank you so much - my Mother said that I looked like a bride out of a magazine and "that's not because I am her daughter".
 
Thank you again & take care,
Kimberly  9/17/2008


Hey Chris!

We had a fabulous day!! We all felt sooo beautiful, Thank you so much!! You & Frank were amazing! You truly are artists. I had so much fun working with you  from day one, and all my girls loved you guys :) I will definitely send you pictures of the wedding as soon as I get them in :) And, whenever I come back to Florida I will stop by and see you :) Thanks Again for everything!!

Jackie   9/27/08


Chris traveled to my wedding in Islamorada and what a joy he was. He was so charming and full of energy. He was a walking salon - he had everything we needed all I had to do was stay calm and get ready to walk down the aisle.  He not only treated me like a queen he made my girl friends feel just as special.  Thanks for making me beautiful on my wedding day.

Thanks   Jane B.


Dear Chris - I never expected to find such perfection - you are unbelievable - My wedding day was so special and glamorous because of your artistry in make up and styling.  I love the highlights - I hope my gal here can follow your instructions - oh and my mother is telling everyone about your little trick of rubbing candle wax to the inside straps off shoes to soften and prevent them from cutting your skin and being uncomfortable.  She also tried it on the inside of the vamp and now her beautiful shoes no longer cut into her skin. (marvelous, simply marvelous) didn't we have a good time repeating that all day long.  I cannot close without saying what a gentleman you are, so caring, such a gentleman and sooo handsome! My family and my in-laws are so grateful.  My bridesmaid, Joan is planning a wedding in late summer of 2009 and she is hurrying to set her date so that she can book you.  She said she does not want to miss getting on your schedule.  A couple of us will be coming with her and of course we will want appointments also.  We would like to take you to dinner while we are there if it is not an imposition and can fit into your busy schedule. Marvelous, simply marvelous (YOU ARE).

Thank you, Jennifer Sterling


....On top of the rain I was also stressed due to bathing suit strap marks from a day at the beach! The makeup/hair extraordinaire arrived with a big smile despite his hour drive in a rain storm. He did his magic on my sunburn marks as well as my makeup and hair!

Kelly & Brad - Ohio


Chris- The English language is so limited when the heart is full of thankfulness to you and your staff I owe my deepest thanks.  When I called you the day before and told you that the chemicals in the pool ruined my face with red splotches and a breakout - you immediately came and applied your magic and got my skin to look grand for the wedding day.  You are such an accomplished hair stylist and make-up guru I can understand why you are so successful. The Keys are beautiful, what better ambience to get married you cannot find.  My attendants looked beautiful and I did not mind that you and your staff showed them to perfection.  I feel the better people around me look -the better I look.  Maggie was unbelievable; I really think you gave her courage to get the best look for herself.   Believe me she is trying to live up to that look, you completely transformed her.  Mark and I plan to spend Christmas in Marathon and I will surely call ahead so that you can color my hair.  Can I convince you to come to Cincinnati, Ohio?  Please ???

Thank you again and again.  Lisa Hellis(Mrs. Reynold)  just love saying that Mrs. part.


Chris thanks so much for making the time before my big walk so enjoyable. You were so much fun to be around my girl friends and I had a great time with you. You did an amazing job with my hair and makeup you really made me feel like a Princess on my special day.  I am still getting compliments on how Fantastic I looked!!!

Thanks, Bobbie Jo C.


Everything was picture perfect with a phenomenal hair dresser/make-up artist....

Alex & Mike - Boston


... the hair and makeup artist was a good one! He was fantastic. Again, thank you everything and God bless.

 Ron and Vicki Risco


LOVED EVERYTHING about my hairstylist/makeup artist!!!! He was a hoot!

Jennifer & Joe


 I wanted to take a minute to thank Chris for traveling all the way down to Key West on my special day. He was extremely professional and at the same time a blast to be around. He treated my girl friends and I like family. THANKS

Chris,

When you were finished with my hair and make up the day of my wedding, I couldn't believe it was me!  It was so much more than I could have ever dreamed of or wanted. You made me feel so beautiful! I don't know how to begin to find the words to express my gratitude to you.  Hopefully, "THANK YOU" is enough!

Much love,

Hey Frank!
    I just wanted to thank you both for a fabulous job on my hair and make-up on my special day!!! I received so many compliments on both the hair as well as my make-up! I sent a few pictures as you requested. I also wanted to ask you about the motel you own...we will be frequently visiting the keys as part of my husbands accounts for work. Just wondering the where-abouts and the rates you offer. Let me know if you get a chance...we're actually planning to come down this weekend and then about once a month thereafter. Again thanks so much for you're beautiful work, it was a pleasure working with you!

Good morning Chris and Frank!

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to write you a note but I wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful time we spent with you on May 26 for my daughter Leslie's wedding.  You did a fabulous job on our hair, all of us and the girls loved their make up too.

My little grand girls, Ava and Isabella loved having their hair done and they looked so darling.  It was a perfect Key West day and a perfect wedding and you helped to make that happen.  For me, there's nothing more important than being with my girls so I knew that all of us together again in Key West would be perfect as it has been so many times before.  For us to have our daughters wedding there was like coming home.  Spending that time with you both that morning of her wedding, was an absolutely perfect way to start a very memorable day.  You are both amazingly talented and very wonderful people.  I truly believe you made the day even more special by your talents and the wondeful people that you are. 

I am on the hunt for the products that you used for my hair and I believe that I can find them here.  If not, I will be contacting you to get them!  I had so many compliments on my hair that day, even from friends looking at pictures here and my hair dresser here as well!  Thank you so much for the recipe, I will be making the Twice Baked Potato Casserole for Sunday Dinner soon!

Thank you both again........ for the great hair and make up and for being great people!

Janet Zerbe     05/09


Chris,

We just arrived back in Orlando and unpacking to repack to get ready for our San Fran and wine country trip. Can't wait, although we love the Keys too. God, we got lucky with the weather. And I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me and my family and friends. I will definitely send pictures when I come back as well as submitting some very positive comments on your website.

Cindy Swanson :)    7/24/09


Words can not explain how grateful I was to have them do my hair and make-up for my wedding. They are so talented and creative! I couldn't believe how I looked for my wedding. I felt so amazing. It truly made my wedding everything I wanted it to be. They were extremely sweet, helpful and very professional. I highly recommend them. You won't believe your eyes when they are finished!!!
