User2248779 Sent on 07/30/2015I have known Olenka for several years and I absolutely adore her. When I “set a date”, I wasn’t certain of many things but I knew hands down I would like Olenka there for my special day. Olenka is not only a creative and talented hair artist but she has a great aura about her. Her enthusiasm and positivity is contagious. For the wedding she worked with my mother in law and my bridesmaids, all of which were blown away with how well they clicked with her and how she understood their particular hair/makeup to bring out the best attributes. Collectively the styling for myself and my bridesmaids was nothing short of stunning. Thank you Olenka from the bottom of my heart for being there with us for my special day!I Do.. Gorgeous!'s reply:
Thank you, so very much, for your gracious review! I was entirely honored to have been a part of that magical vibe -set by you and your 'groom' on your wedding day!
Much love and happiness to you, always!

User2088739 Sent on 04/06/2015Olenka called me the morning of my bridal shower, drunk, to tell me that she couldn't make it. She also called two days before my wedding and said that she didn't realize that she had four people to do instead of just me. It was obvious by our conversation that she really did not want to come and honor her obligation. She told me that she had moved to Boston since our initial agreement and that is would be a long drive for her to come to New York. Yet another inconvenience to her. Our wedding was at 6:00 pm and Olenka arrived at 10:00 am which was much to early when we had agreed upon noon. Her reason was that she had to get home so her son could use her car. Our hair and makeup came out satisfactory, the braid in one of my bridesmaid's hair fell out shortly after the ceremony which was upsetting since the style was based upon the braid. Olenka was also an invited guest to our wedding which she responded that she was going to attend. Once again Olenka decided that it wasn't convenient for her to honor her commitment and told me this when she arrived at 10:00 am. The day after k wedding a received a very rude email from Olenka. She went on about how she had to refuse a larger wedding party where she could have made more money and not travel so far to do it. She told me that my hair and makeup was a gift but it was terrible of me to expect her to do the rest of my party for free, which I had no intentions of doing. She made no apologies for being a no show fo my bridal shower as well as our wedding. She tried to make it seem that she was much to important to have anything to do with such a small bridal party. I thought Olenka was a professional and a friend, but I was wrong. I had been going to her for years to do my hair and attended her salon opening party, however when it came right down to it Olenka is a mediocre stylist and two faced person. She asked me to review her after not hearing from her since our wedding, so here is my review.

Thank you for your response, 'anonymous user,' I truly learned from this experience.
I feel that clarification is necessary for the reader-through the lengthy melodramatic embellishments and accusations here:
I was merely invited as a GUEST to your bridal shower-not hired for my professional services.
The attendees of your private parties or which parties you attend have no bearing in this professional forum.
(adding that I '..called you in the morning-drunk' is shocking, indeed-
Is ' Shark Tank' aware of a cell phone breathalyzer?)
I'm sorry you feel the need to resort to such scathing thoughts.
I can take criticism, 'Anonymous,' it's part of my job description as an artist-who is of service to others.
Constructive criticism clarifies and refines the creative process-that is something to be embraced.
The reader should also be informed that I was the stylist at your first wedding-and for the 7 years until the next; I am sorry you endured 'mediocrity' all those years.
In retrospect, I exercised poor judgment in not presenting you a clear and thorough bridal contract- to avoid all assumptions and misunderstandings.
Oral contracts are not a consideration, any longer-even between 'friends.'
Transparency, in each detail-is crucial to successful wedding planning-from the romantic, creative aspects to the business focus/payment terms.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts, Anonymous.
I hope this note finds you well and happy.
