Makeover Services

[Karli]

I was wondering if any of you girls had suggestions on makeover services for tgirls. I know there are a few places in various cities and was wondring which ones you might have been to and a few recommendations. It's always nice to hear from people who have first hand experiences and what they thought. A few I've seen out there are:

Orlando - http://tradingfacesorlando.com/
Las Vegas - http://crossdresslasvegas.com/
Seattle - http://www.emeraldfantasy.com/
Dallas - http://femmexstudios.com/
Atlanta - http://www.phoebesgetaway.com/
New York - http://www.missvera.com/
Long Island - http://www.femmefever.com/
San Jose - http://www.carlas.com/
Portland - http://www.victoriasrainbow.tv/
Los Angeles - http://www.transformationsbygina.com/
Philadelphia - http://www.cd-tips.com/
Chicago - http://www.transformationsbyrori.com/
Denver - http://www.phyllisfantasies.com/
Toronto - http://www.wildside.org/

Are there any others? And have any girls out there tried some of these places?

Miss Karli, i have a makeover and a photo shot, plus when out on town with Phyllis, back in january, she was very kind and we had a great time, my picture in who are we #4 in picture form with me in the wedding dress is from that trip

I had a makeover at Femme X in Dallas about a month ago. They also took me on my first outing that night and it was an incredible experience. The girl that runs the service is also the head organizer of our local group, Dallas Feminine Expressions, plus she plays guitar in a local TG rock band called CHIX.

I would highly recommend! :D

the only place i have any familiarity with was Wildside in Toronto. The experience was not favorable in the least and I even wrote a thread on it. I wouldn't recommend that anyone go there for any reason.

I have never gone to a salon specializing in crossdressers. I have had my makeup done several times at beauty colleges. I have had a great time and the students and other clients have also enjoyed the experience. In addition the services are cheap, usually in the range of ten dollars, I. Usually tip another ten so I have a complete facial and an hour of entertainment for only twenty bucks.

Does anyone know of any such place in the south US besides Atlanta or Dallas?

I have been to Phoebe's (south of Atlanta) twice, and have posted photos from both sessions on the forum. The experiences were both wonderful, and an incredible bargain (less than $130 for 3 hours, total). Phoebe is a national treasure! I can whole-heartedly recommend her service.

I was thinking of stopping in Vegas in the fall and was wondering if anyone here has been to Just You. Or how about the overall TG scene in LV? Any places people recommend a Tgirl can go to get out in Sin City?

Hi Karli: I don't have any experience or info on any of the transformation services myself but I have seen several people on the forums mention mostly very positive things about the services in Las Vegas.
As to Las Vegas in general, I spent a long weekend there with my SO en femme the entire time and had no problems or issues. We didn't go to any CD/TG/LGBT specific places; we just did the typical tourist/sightseeing/shopping things and saw a couple of shows.
We had a good time; we are not really "vegas" people as far as the casinos, etc. but it is a very friendly and welcoming place to go.
