Depascal

I love Christina and her skin care products! I have been using her face cream for well over 12 yrs. It's wonderful! Whenever I need any products, Christina goes out of her way to make sure I have what I need! Thank you Christina for your wonderful face cream and your love and thoughtfulness!

I found DePascal through Wedding Wire for makeup and hair services for my wedding. The reviews were nice and her website looked great so I emailed through Wedding Wire and chatted back and forth via email then through text. Christina seemed nice and responsive. I made an appointment for a trial. I showed up and was a bit taken back since I walked into boutique and not a salon. She had a chair set up in the corner of the store. I tried to be optimistic and went with it anyway. Christina did seem a little disorganized. The makeup came out heavy and looked caked up on my skin and was not anything like the picture I showed her. I wanted a simple cat eye and red lip. Neither of which I got. My hair was awful. When I sat down in the chair she applied gel to my dry hair and just started attempting a set with a curling iron. Didn't brush it out or anything. It was definitely not close to what I showed her. Christina kept trying to convince me that it was because I needed to cut a layer here and a layer there. It looked half curled when I left and an hour later was flat. She was supposed to do two looks and didn't. She said I could come back for a second trial. Christina wanted me to book her for my wedding right then and there and I didn't. She had me fill out a client info sheet. She obviously knew I was not happy and never even followed up with me. Her Wedding Wire, Yelp and website indicates she is a national makeup artist and aesthetician. It makes no reference to a hairstylist. I also could not find a license on the NJ website. Make sure you do your research before you spend $225 on a trial. I posted my review on Wedding Wire, that she disputed. She tried to say I didn't have a contract for services with her. Even though I have pictures of myself in her boutique while she was providing services, showing the steps of the trial. I also saved all the communications between us showing I had an appointment. If you read her reviews on Yelp, make sure you scroll down to all the reviews that aren't factored in the rating system. Keep in mind if you go on Wedding Wire the service provider can dispute your review and have it taken down; making it look like they have all 5 star reviews. 9/14/18 - This insane woman just responded to my review from over a year ago saying I showed up with my 4 kids, that I was from South Jersey, with bright red hair wanting to be Greta Garbo in a red satin dress. Christina you must be absolutely insane. I live in Brielle, showed up alone in your old shop across the street. I have one kid and youre a joke. You arent registered as a licensed cosmetologist with NJ. If I ever hear from you again, I will report you to the State Board of NJ. How dare you have the audacity to consciously charge someone $225 for a trial when you couldnt properly execute opening up a front door.

I never write reviews but I have to here. Christina made me look so beautiful that I can't even put it into words. I started to use her skin care products about two months before my wedding and its amazing!!! My skin glowed! She is very thoughtful thats why she is able to make women look the way they are suppose to. Definitely a permanent client!
