You may have already had the pleasure of experiencing Just Face It, and chances are it has become your go-to source for all things beauty-related. You love being pampered in a relaxing and private environment.
We spoke to Sarah, a busy wife, mom, and attorney, who has been frequenting Just Face It since its inception. “I love coming here—no matter how stressed out I am, this is the perfect panacea. Tamar is amazing; she is at the top of her field. I’ve been to many salons and have had my makeup and hair done by famous artists and stylists, and Tamar is the best. She is truly gifted and is a calming presence, an absolute pleasure to work with. The salon is serene and beautiful and completely private. She is a person of integrity who honors every appointment. I have never had to wait—every one of my appointments has always been on time.”
“Tamar is super talented and super accommodating,” says Gitty W. “She goes over and beyond for her clients and is available by appointment six days a week, with late hours, except on Friday. She is easily accessible by texting. Her creativity is unbelievable, in makeup application, hair styling, cut and color, men’s services, makeup consultation, and lessons. And she always keeps her word; drop off your wig and she will have it ready for you in a day and a half—if not sooner—styled to perfection.”
With meticulous attention to every detail, Tamar weaves her web of makeup artistry to enhance the beauty of every client. Her private makeup lessons are highly recommended, and include girls who are entering shidduchim. “It’s important to make a good first impression,” says Tamar. “While one’s appearance isn’t the most important factor in a relationship, you only get one opportunity to make a great first impression. It only takes five minutes to put yourself together. I teach young ladies who are beginning the dating process how to do this on their own.” With the utmost sensitivity and confidentiality, each young lady receives individualized instruction on achieving her perfect look. That Tamar truly cares about her clients is evident in her personalized and very patient approach. They are taught hands-on techniques for applying Tamar’s hypoallergenic line of beautiful mineral cosmetics, all available for purchase.
