Michael Christopher Hair Salon

I have a lot of positive feedback based on my experience with Selina Gonzalez. This was hair & makeup for my wedding day!

1. She was an excellent communicator throughout the process. For an anxious bride like myself, working with professionals who respond to you promptly and clearly helps tremendously; I’m so glad Selina was attentive to any question I had or text message I sent (this was a few weeks leading up to the event).

2. She is flexible and accommodating. I unfortunately had to cancel my session with another makeup artist last minute, and I was really stressed out figuring out who would be available a month before the wedding. I was lucky to squeeze in a makeup trial with Selina, and she was more than happy to travel to downtown Philly to help me get ready in the hotel. Her willingness to help and make it work should not be understated when it comes to special occasions in the area! On top of that, she did my cousin’s hair and makeup the same day! Rockstar!

3. Her skills and knowledge in hair & makeup really shined that day. I had relatively clear skin when we did our makeup trial together, but then I got three large pimples two days before the wedding (typical, hahaha). With Selina, that was not an issue at all, and she was able to successfully cover them. I got my wedding pictures recently, and the pimples were nowhere to be seen. I also have naturally wavy hair, so styled curls typically disappear within an hour or two for me. Selina kept this aspect in mind, and my curls were intact by the end of the day. I was planning to wear a customized headband, and she had a great idea on how to style my hair with the headband and veil. It’s worth mentioning that the makeup stayed intact as well. I can tell Selina thought about this, because I was crying the whole day! As a bride, you’re going to be occupied with so many things on the day of your wedding, and your hair & makeup should be one less thing to worry about. Thank you Selina for being so thoughtful.

All of this to say, if you work with Selina, you will be in excellent hands!

I have gotten my eyelashes done here by SELINA. Very professional, detailed and clean. Her Hybrid sets are beautiful, and she has done a variation of colors and even sparkles.

As a new client they iistened to my specific needs with my hair and matched me with the correct perfessional (Susan) who exceeded my expectation. The salon was lovely and my experience as a whole very pleasant. Liz

Selina is amazing! I’ve been getting my lash extensions done by her for some months now, and my retention has been unreal. I’ve been getting lash extensions for about two years (elsewhere) and no others retention compares. She’s very thorough for sure! I love that she offers a variety of curl and length options allowing for customized looks. Always super friendly as well.

Selena is does a fantastic job on my lashes. She is super talented and will go the extra mile to make sure you are completely satisfied. My lashes have never looked better! Highly recommend her at Michael Christopher Salon. She does amazing work on color and styling.
