Shelby was so quick to respond to my inquiry, she was able to fit me in her schedule, as she was already booked with a morning appointment and my photoshoot was in the afternoon. Shelby's studio was stunning and so clean! I've never gotten my makeup professionally done so well in my life. I was able to show Shelby a few inspo pics and she worked wonders on my face! I was so incredibly happy with the outcome from her use of high quality products and overall knowledge of her craft, Shelby delivered! Thank you for such a great experience, Shelby seriously ladies, do not hesitate to book with her, you won't be disappointed!

I love the photos posted on yelp as it was my style so I followed my gut and took a chance. I'm so beyond happy I did. Shelby did a trial for me when I was in San Diego a few months ahead of the wedding along with my welcome dinner makeup and wedding makeup for me and the entire family! She did such an incredible job in making my makeup looking glowing and natural. Some of my family has never warn makeup and she did such a phenomenal job of making everyone look so natural. We all got such compliments on our makeup. Shelby is such a professional to work with along with being easy to get along with, cool and kind. I wish I lived closer to use her more often, but she's an incredible at what she does and I highly recommend her!

I chose Brittany based off her reviews and I am SO GLAD I did! I am not a huge makeup enthusiast so…read moreI was looking for an expert who was versatile, could do natural glam, a soft and romantic look, and most importantly had good vibes. Brittany exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, kind, calming, affordable, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I did the trial run (no regrets) and Brittany came to my home. We went over makeup options, different hair options, and veil placement options. She asked lots of questions to make sure I was comfortable with everything, her skincare prep was fabulous and my makeup looked great! She spent the time to go over each step and customized my look based on my feedback. She's a true natural and was able to take my confusing feedback and turn it into exactly what I was envisioning. On the wedding day, Brittany was such a calm and happy presence in the room. My whole family loved her. We changed a few things we had gone over at the trial, and she remembered everything! Even things I had forgotten mentioning. That meant a lot to me. Brittany truly cares about her clients and it's clear she takes her job seriously. Most people in the wedding industry just treat you like another number but Brittany was the only person in the whole process who treated me like me. Brittany also did my 13 year old's hair and makeup for the wedding. I was worried about her looking too mature but Brittany did her makeup so perfectly, it just highlighted her features in such a soft, natural way... I was honestly speechless. I'm an anxious worrier but I never had to give a second thought to my hair/makeup/veil. Brittany added body glow and left behind a little touch up kit that had everything I needed. She even helped my mom with her makeup and lashes and squeezed in a friend who needed last minute hair and makeup services. My hair and makeup lasted all night, looked fabulous, and I felt like a star. I would hire Brittany again in a heartbeat to do anything makeup or hair related. She is truly an expert in her craft and her passion shows. In all the crazy hecticness of the wedding world - Brittany was the one of my favorite parts.

Very accommodating, pleasant, and did a beautiful job! Makeup looked great all night.read more

I went here in February for a haircut and partial highlight, and based on my experience do not…read morerecommend them. I received partial highlights that were very brassy and looked grown out the second I left the salon. I spent the day of my appointment really disappointed and bought blue shampoo to try to brighten the tone, which didn't work. I decided to call the salon and the owner called back and had me come in to fix it. I drove 30 minutes back to the salon, and when I got there I explained what I didn't like, and the stylist asked me what I wanted to do. Since I'm not the stylist I reiterated that I wasn't sure but explained the problem. He did a quick toner and dried my hair, and I felt much better. The next evening I washed my hair and all the toner came out and my hair was back to where it started. At that point I didn't feel comfortable going back because my concerns were given such a temporary fix and weren't taken seriously. An experienced stylist should know that toner wouldn't last and that I wouldn't be happy in the long run, despite the $300 price tag. I gave it a few weeks to see if I could get used to my hair, but hated it every time I looked in the mirror, so I made an appointment with a different stylist at a new salon. When I told her my experience she said she would have guessed it had been a few months since my last appointment, not a few weeks based on how brassy and grown out it was. She recommended I reach out to the salon and request a refund of some kind based on how my hair looked. I took her advice and emailed JolSalon with my concerns and photos of my hair. After a few weeks no one responded, so I called and left a message explaining that I'd like to talk about my experience. No one called me back so I emailed again asking to talk about my concerns and my experience. It's now been two months and no one has responded to me. I'm disappointed that they have handled a poor experience in such an unprofessional way. If a refund isn't available then they should be open to hearing about my experience so they can learn from it, but nothing. I strongly recommend you avoid this salon.

I attended her masterclass to learn her "Signature Glam Waves" and let me tell you it was worth every penny and more. She did not gate keep any of her tips and tricks at all.

I ended up booking Hana after seeing all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Hana was very responsive and communicative through all email communication. After my trial, I sent Hana some feedback about things I would like to change for the day of the wedding, and she was so receptive and kind. I didn't love how my trial makeup or hair turned out (not through any fault of Hana - the style of makeup/hair I asked for just didn't look good on me), but after communicating my feedback to Hana, I LOVED how both my makeup and hair turned out on the day of. The curls in my hair actually lasted for several days after the wedding. Hana also did the makeup for my sister and sister-in-law, and they both loved their makeup as well. She took the time to listen to their requests and had no problem making any adjustments they asked for. Highly recommend Hana for any of your hair or makeup needs! Her Instagram is full of beautiful, full-glam looks, but rest assured that she is amazing at doing natural look as well.

I've been going to Carmen for over 10 years because she is someone I can truly trust with my hair. She listens and understands what I want and always makes sure everything comes out right. I never feel rushed in her chair and I can tell she really cares about her work and the people she's working with. What I appreciate most about Carmen is the consistency in her work. Every time I leave the salon, I feel so happy with my hair. It's not just about the results, it's about the whole experience.

She listened to my wants and needs and I came out with the perfect haircut. The place is cute with open windows so you can people watch. My only bummer was parking. It's street so get ready to come early to try and navigate that but of course that doesn't impact the service I had. I ended up parking on one of the side streets north of Rosencrans which I recommend. There isn't a lot of parking south of this location really unless you want to pay to be in the big harbor lot. All in all would definitely recommend!

They were super efficient and they made it so fun and easy in the morning. The makeup itself was really light and didn't feel cake-y at all. I'm really glad I had the makeup trial with Hien and hair with Metzli beforehand too. I am a zero makeup user day to day so I was looking for something minimal while still having it stand out enough for people to know I am the bride. Communication through email and text only- Hien was very responsive so there were no issues or miscommunications. I would definitely recommend Hien if you're looking for someone who's not heavy handed with their makeup looks! Unless that's something you're going for, she can pull that off too!

I sent her an email to inquire about her availability and she responded the next day. Hien only does makeup and she collaborates with another artist to style hair. Hien was the only point of contact and so all questions were directed to her for both hair and makeup. Hien was friendly, professional, and quick to respond to any of my questions throughout the entire process. I scheduled my trial with her on the day of my engagement photo shoot and LOVED how my makeup turned out. She assesses how comfortable you are with makeup and asks what your preferences are so that she can get a sense of what would be most suitable. I really appreciated that she provided suggestions on what to do if I were to cry or if my skin got oily. By the end of the day, my makeup still looked great despite sweating a little from running around on the beach. On the day of the wedding, she came on time at 7AM and set up all of her things very quickly. Hien and Metzli did HMU for my mom, the groom's mom, and myself. They were able to finish hair and makeup for all three of us by 10AM as promised, and everyone was very happy with their look. My mom even said that her makeup looked better compared to when she had her makeup done for my brother's wedding a few years ago. My makeup still looked great even after all the sweating I did from dancing by the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend Hien to anyone looking to get their makeup done for any occasion

She made me feel so beautiful and sexy! On my wedding day, one of the most important days of my life, she came to my venue and did one of my bridesmaids and my make-up.

I am getting married in August, 2010. I had been looking for a makeup artist for my engagement…read morephotos and for my wedding, since I am horrible with makeup. I had read that the airbrush makeup is much better than traditional makeup, so I did a google search for a makeup artist. There were a few that looked good, but they were so expensive. I didn't want to spend $1,000 just on makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. I then found Kirsten's website and sent an email inquiry. She did the airbrush makeup and her price is very reasonable. I also like the photos she had on her website. Everyone looked amazing and natural. That is exactly was I was looking for. I had quickly signed up for her to do my makeup for my engagement shoot. Let me just say this, she is beyond talented. I stupidly decided to try the spray tan right before my engagement shoot. I told the lady at the tanning place that I just needed a light tan just to get rid of the tan lines. I didn't want to be too dark. Of course, I come out looking orange. Kirsten was so amazing with my makeup. She took out most of the orange and I looked great for my photos. My photographer asked me if I had done my makeup and I told her that I had a makeup artist do my makeup. She told me that I better book my makeup artist for my wedding because she said my makeup was fantastic, especially in the photos. I am so happy to have her doing my makeup on my wedding day. If you are looking for amazing talent and at a decent price then you NEED to book her!
