Tatiana does an amazing job! I always come to her for makeup and hair. She did my makeup and hair for two photoshoots and it was exactly what I wanted. I wanted a natural look that accentuates my features and shows them in the best light and she did exactly that! She is an expert in her field and I love love her work. The photos turned out so great! She also has a great personality, it's a pleasure to be her client and I am happy I met her. read more

Tatiana did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also oversaw hair/makeup for my mom, aunt, and 86 year old grandmother. We all loved our hair and makeup and were 100% satisfied. I especially LOVEEEDD my up-do with braids and fresh flowers to match my bridal bouquet (her idea) . I was so happy with my hair and makeup and received so many compliments. I have very fine, frizzy hair which is impossible to work with, but someone Tatiana managed to make it stay secure for my entire wedding day. For my makeup, Tatiana meticulously put on about 10 individual eyelashes for a natural look--she really took her time and made sure I liked what she was doing after each makeup applicant and eye shadow color choice. I am so please and will be calling Tatiana next time I need to feel beautiful! Also, loved how easy going she is and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. She is not pushy at all: only helpful and kind and REALLY as good as it gets. A++ read more

This review is from a service in August (so sorry for the delay!) but Tatiana is i.n.c.r.e.d.i.b.l.e. and should honestly charge more, so worth it. I was attending a wedding in Santa Monica and she came to my hotel room and was so easy to talk to and took exactly the amount of time she said she would. I don't really wear make up and she gave me the look I had envisioned. And my hair, I mean it probably took maybe 45 minutes and again, perfection. I sent her a photo of a side fishtail braid and that is exactly what she gave me. I wish I lived there because she would be my go to! I am a wedding planner here in VA and if you are a bride, seriously, book this woman. Thank you again Tatiana!! read more

Loved it! Tatiana is amazing! It was really enjoyable experience, thank you so much!!! I left with a great style, got lots of compliments at work and from random people on the street. read more

I loved having Tatiana work her magic on me! I had another salon cancel on me last minute and within 24 hours, I was able to set-up an appointment at Tatiana's. I texted her a picture of what I wanted, and set-up an appointment with her the following morning. She did exactly what I wanted. She's sweet, professional, and so talented. The braids were done so well that I was able to sleep on them and keep the style for a couple days. I'll definitely be back to see her. read more

Tatiana is amazing! I was traveling into the area for an event and needed someone for hair and makeup. After deciding to go with her based on Yelp reviews, she did not disappoint. My hair and makeup looked better than my own wedding day and it held up all night. She was very patient and kind and made sure everything looked great! read more

Absolutely amazing! Tatiana is so incredibly sweet and talented. I had a picture that I had seen and was hoping to replicate the style. Tatiana was able to replicate the picture EXACTLY (and even added some awesome flare). She will make sure that you walk out the door with a PERFECT hairstyle. So blown away! Her prices are amazing as well. read more

Tatiana is such an amazing hairstylist! I was recommended by a co-worker who is also a client of Tatiana's. I am so glad I went, I couldn't believe how she made my boring hair look so awesome! She is very sweet and really listens to what kind of style you are looking for, and also makes suggestions (which helps me because I can never make up my mind!) I can't wait until I have a reason to get dolled up so I can visit Tatiana's Braid Studio again! read more

After having visited a number of professional makeup artists this year, I must admit Tatyana is beyond amazing! What I really like about her is that she has an individual approach, she will come up with makeup and hairstyle that emphasizes your beauty without overdoing it and turning your face into cake-Face. Tatyana is extremely talented and creative, I'm very happy she was able to beautify me for my wedding, definitely recommend and definitely going to see Tatyana for every major occasion read more

I have had my hair and makeup done dozens of times, maybe even 100 times, and Tatiana truly impressed me in every way. Tatiana was really fantastic - her skills both with hair AND makeup were phenomenal. I have actually never found someone who was both good at hair and makeup. I was going to a James Bond themed charity event and booked her for hair and makeup. I showed her a picture of what I wanted to look like, and she really took her time to make me look EXACTLY like the picture I showed her. I couldn't believe how detail oriented and spot-on she was with achieving the exact look I wanted. On top of being a true artist with tremendous skill, she was very warm-hearted and kind. She kept telling me to check in the mirror to make sure I was happy with the direction we were going. I feel so lucky that I found Tatiana and would highly recommend her for both your hair and makeup needs! I got a million compliments on my hair and makeup all night! read more

Tatiana was so sweet and funny. She really cares about her work and did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup. We didn't do a trail, I just brought pictures and she customized it to fit my features and color better. She also let me borrow hair extensions in good faith I'd bring them back. She's a very positive person which made the experience great. read more

Tatiana made me look and feel beautiful for my corporate retirement celebration!!! Being middle aged, I was so afraid that if I went to someone more geared to a younger female I would look like a freak. She asked for and I sent pictures of what I hoped to look like--a middle aged Audrey Hepburn! Tatiana was very patient and offered recommendations of the look that would work with the dress I planned on wearing. BTW, the hair style she created stayed up while pogo dancing without turning my head into a pin cushion!! I highly recommend her services! read more

Love it so much!!! Tatyana is amazing and professional hairstylist! She made several braid options for me. And I loved all of them! Tatyana can see what type of braid is perfect for you! Without doubts highly recommend!!! I wish I lived in Santa Monica to stop by to her place every day!!! read more

Tatiana is amazing! I've never written an online review, but she deserves all the stars/praise she can get. I'm not a fan of hair and makeup, but she did an amazing job at keeping it simple and noteworthy. Can't wait to see her again. read more

Can't say enough about Tatiana. She's truly an artist and absolutely amazing at what she does. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, plus a few family members. For the trial and the wedding day, she took her time to make everything absolutely perfect. By far exceeded all expectations. She's got the skill, talent, love, passion that truly elevates her above others in her art and makes her great. She was somehow able to integrate my physical features, the wedding vibe, my personality into this one look that totally fit with everything. The photos are stunning. Hands down the best beauty expert. She can make anyone look and feel beautiful. Now I keep thinking about some reason to go back to The Braid Studio!!! You will never regret your choice going here. read more

I absolutely love Tatiana! She takes her time to really do what is best for your face and hair! She did my girlfriend's hair/makeup for her wedding and she will be doing the same for me! She took a bunch of pictures and sent them to me so I could really see the work she did days after. So thoughtful! I highly recommend!! read more

It was a very important day for me and needed to look my best! Tatiana recommended that I try a French braid... My first french braid turned out great! She had a spare set of extentions of the right color ... I never heard so many wonderful compliments about my hair before... Thanks a lot, Tatiana!! read more

Tatiana is an absolute sweetheart! She is extremely talented in her profession and a complete perfectionist. She is so patient with a very calming presence, she truly cares about creating the exact look you desire. She will not stop until both you and her are completely satisfied, and the results are beautiful. I visited her a couple of times before my wedding, once just to get my eyebrows re-shaped and she sent me away with a lovely braid as well as perfectly groomed eyebrows!! She really does go above and beyond. On my wedding day I was so happy with both my hair and make-up, it was just exactly how I wanted it. She also did my bridesmaids hair and both mothers hair and make up with the help from her assistant Natasha (who is also another excellent stylist). We all looked a million dollars! read more

If you love braids Tatiana is perfect to make you look fabulous! She conveniently travels to you with a beautiful smile on her face. She's detailed, skilled and super amazing at styling hair. Whatever you show her, describe she will do. She really listens to the client and wants to make sure you get exactly what you asked for! She styled myself, my Mom and my sister with dutch braids, french braids and a old hollywood curled half up hairstyle for my tea party bridal shower. She was so kind enough to do a waterfall braid for one of my friends and curl my grandma's hair for no charge, while she was waiting for us because we had last minute party preparations to take care of. She is my go to hairstylist and I continue to ask her to doll me up for parties, birthdays and weddings. She's always available and always makes me feel like a celebrity! :) read more

She was so nice and did a fantastic job on my makeup. I LOVED IT! I went for my engagement party, and I'll definitely have her doll me up for my wedding. Thanks Tatiana! read more

I was going to a wedding and she did my makeup and hair. She did a fabulous job above and beyond my expectations. I got many complements that night. Thank you Tatiana. read more

Tatiana is amazing! I found her through yelp and was so happy that I booked an appointment with her. I booked hair and makeup for my work holiday party this past weekend and she nailed it! I gave her a photo of a hair style I looked and she completely replicated it. She's a lovely lady and what I sincerely appreciated was how much time and attention to detail she spent on me. She listened to every word I said and wanted to make sure I felt comfortable in both my hair and makeup. I've gone to DryBar, have had Glamsquad and have gone other places for makeup/hair and she has been the best I've ever gone to! My hair and makeup lasted the whole day/evening and looked great in photos. I highly recommend her and would use her again! read more

I returned to Tatiana's Braid Studio to get my hair braided as I was going on a trip and wanted to have a hassle-free and chic "do" on the plane. I have shoulder-length fine hair and never in a million years I thought I could get my hair braided but with the help of extensions and Tatiana's magic hands I ended up with a beautiful fishtail that drew a lot of compliments and attention. Thank you so much for making me look fabulous! read more

I have to agree with other reviewers, Tatiana is SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! Tatiana did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did an amazing job. I had two trials and we tried two different styles. She took all of the things I liked about different hair styles and created exactly what I wanted. She braided all of my bridesmaid's hair and each got to choose a style that looked best on them. Tatiana also did my makeup. Her makeup lasted the whole day and looked gorgeous. She really is very talented. One of my bridesmaids liked her so much she also used her for her wedding hair and makeup. Tatiana is a MUST if you need ANY type of braiding or makeup. Highly recommend!! Thank you Tatiana for making me looking amazing on my special day! read more

I agree with all the awesome reviews. Tatiana rocks! She listened to what I wanted and executed with amazing results. Plus she's really easy to reach and nice to talk to! Highly recommend :) read more

I just had the most amazing Cinderella experience with Tatiana. I stumbled upon her great reviews on Yelp, and decided to give her a go... Not only did she transform my 40-year-old face and hair to look like a younger, fresher, more glamorous version of myself, but she also took the time like an true artist to perfect her work. I started this day dreading having to try to look good for a photo shoot. I'm ending it on cloud nine, having had an experience truly looking and feeling my best - even with a camera pointed at me all day. I brought photos of what I wanted my hair and make up to look like, and Tatiana did a fantastic job at studying the looks, interpreting what I was envisioning, and bringing it all to life. If you need hair, makeup, or both for a photo shoot or special occasion I cannot recommend Tatiana enough - she's a lovely person who's truly gifted at her craft. read more

Wonderful team of highly professional makeup artists and stylists who's love for what they do radiates from every single stroke of the brush! They made me look amazing for my event, and throughout the whole process I felt comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommended!!! read more

Fantastic experience with Tatiana! I had decided to do a beach photoshoot for my birthday and was looking for a very natural look. My hair's naturally wavy but also frizzy, so it's hard to style it without making it looking, well, styled. Tatiana worked wonders. I came in having washed my hair and let it dry naturally. She worked to amplify the natural waves and tamed the annoying frizz, so I ended up with a beautiful natural-looking hairdo. She also recommended some cool hair products which I've been using on a daily basis ever since. My daily haircare routine is now much simpler and quicker and I can't thank Tatiana enough! She also did my makeup. Again, we went for a natural, almost "no makeup" look, and she made sure to pick colors that would look great in the specific lighting and photo style I was going for. Again, she recommended products and looks suited to my individual face shape. She was very responsive, efficient and overall a super nice person. She makes you at ease the moment you walk in, and by the end of the session you'll most likely have shared all of your life with her:) Highly recommended!! read more

My wife met Tatiana through a fashion shoot and went to her for braids and makeup, she used all natural and long lasting products. Highly recommended! read more

I cannot recommend Tatiana enough. She's extremely creative and kind. She gave me a lot of options and was really interested in making sure that the end result was something that exceeded my expectations. read more

Tatiana is great! I was told by all my former bride friends that what makes a wedding great is a happy and confident bride so make up and hair were important and boy did I feel the pressure to look good! Tatiana is very hardworking and detail oriented. She listened and remembered everything I said and paid special attention to my feelings, wishes and requests. She is clearly a perfectionist! She even insisted on doing an extra trial to make sure that I had exactly what I envisioned on the day. On the wedding day I was nervous and Tatiana made me calm down although to be honest, I think all brides are nervous. In the end, I very much enjoyed getting ready and felt radiant on the night. I was glowing! I would definitely recommend Tatiana to anyone looking for personalized attention and someone to make them look beautiful! Also, hats off to Tatiana for using the best products. That totally makes a huge difference! read more

Tatiana is absolutely wonderful. She did my hair and make up for my wedding this past weekend, but I'll start with the trial we did together a few months ago. I had no idea when we met that I would be meeting with such a meticulous, thorough and kind person. She listened to me and tried all the things I wanted her to. She spent more time working with me during the trial than I ever could have expected. She worked with me until we both felt that she had captured what I was going for. Between that day and my wedding day I changed my mind about what I wanted to do with my hair--Tatiana and I texted back and forth and she completely got what I was asking for. Fast forward to my wedding day--Tatiana shows up right on time with a loving and warm smile and a plan of action. Without having an opportunity to work on it during a trial, she made my hair look even more beautiful than I imagined. My make up was perfect, too! I wanted to look like I wasn't wearing much and she gave me a glow without making me look made-up. She specializes in a natural beachy look. In the two + hours that I spent with her before the wedding she was a calming and beautiful presence. I am so grateful that we met and that she was a part of my special day. If I ever need hair and make up again, she is 100% the person I will go to. She is incredible. read more

I used Tatiana's service for my wedding hair style. Was glad that she speaks Russian and it was easy to communicate and made me less nervous. But of course, it is not just because of language... I liked how creative and artistic she is. She has a talent and loves what she is doing, so it is possible to see more personal attitude. About the hair style: I used the vail and liked how everything was fixed and looked well. read more

Tatiana was absolutely amazing and a true perfectionist! She made sure my hair was exactly what I wanted: effortless and classy. I rarely wear makeup, and she definitely put me at ease about wearing more than I usually do. It came out beautifully! I highly recommend her! read more
