Haydee and her team were amazing and exceeded all our expectations for my wedding day. From the start she was very professional and genuinely interested in understanding my vision. On wedding day she made sure I stayed calm with all the nerves unfolding. They arrived on time, set up everything quickly and made sure it was all organized so we can relax and enjoy the morning. I received so many compliments throughout the night on my hair and make up. Doing an up so was out of my comfort zone for my wedding day, but I trusted Haydee and she went above and beyond. She delivered my vision perfectly. My hair and makeup lasted all night long even through all the happy tears. :) If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I love Haydee !!!!! read more

Haydee did my hair and makeup for my wedding AND my maternity pictures and I could not be a happier client. I went for different looks for each, and she nailed both: soft glam for wedding; sexy beach waves for maternity. I'll update my post with wedding pictures once available. Diane did the hair for my bridal party and everyone looked just perfect. Alyssa is my go-to for maintenance color and cuts, and I just adore her. She knows my hair and does a great job, so much so that I explicitly trust her to do whatever she thinks would look good. She goes for it and always does a beautiful job while making sure my hair is as healthy as can be. You can tell these girls are a family and they really care for one another, which is the exact environment you want in your go-to hair and makeup studio. read more

It is a super cute little Salon in odd looking building on Mira Mar/black mountain area. Their are different stylists there. I had appt made, had shown pictures to the stylist before arriving there, hard to find the place, cant see the building number from street ( hidden by trees). Finally asked a student that was going there for session, how to get inside the building( my stylist wasn't answering the phone, she was busy with another client). I had to wait fee minutes- not big deal. So i showed her my inspiration pics and discussed what i want in details. The outcome is very different than the pictures i had shown her or descriptions. I had requested highlights, she used toner to tone down my previous ones( they look redish), but didn't do anything. I am not happy with service or overall experience. I would not go there again or ever recommend anyone else. read more

Haydee did the most stunning bridal makeup for me! I couldn't have asked for better makeup. She is very sweet and patient and the bridal party loved her and their makeup too. read more

CAMILLE IS THE BEST. Literally a hair goddess. I had been SOOOOOO upset with my hair. I had breakage, damaged ends, golden brassy hair & she made me into a super model, I swear it! She's so amazing! I previously changed stylists- I found Camille through social media... never met her before, didnt even look at her reviews, I just TRUSTED her before I even met her!! And I am SO THANKFUL! I felt SO GLAMOROUS after she put my platinum highlights and fixed my bangs (that were cut by my old stylist LOPSIDED) ... ANYWAY, CAMILLE 100000/100000! Seriously, if I could, I'd literally give you $1,000 TIP! Literally AMAZING! I'm moving across the country soon so I have to part ways with Camille soon & im so SAD! Tragic. If you are looking for a fabulous transformation, go to CAMILLE! She's the best stylist I've been to, ever. LOVE SO MUCH. read more

Amazing beautiful incredible! Camille was amazing. My roots were almost a year grown out and she literally made me blonde again...like how? She's incredible. The place was beautiful and cozy. Price was super nice too. read more

I met Haydee for my Bridal Trial during the summer of 2017. The first thing I noticed was how adorable her salon was. So warm and welcoming. She offered me a cup of coffee and we chatted for hours while she did my trial. I can't tell you how excited I was to have found someone who was easy to get along with but who also had the most beautiful makeup and hair techniques. I booked her on the spot and saw her two more times before my wedding for cuts and coloring (which were also perfect). Diana and Haydee came to our bridal hotel the day of my wedding. They were on time, professional, and ready to go. I had 6 bridesmaids and a few family members. I can truly say every single one of their makeup and hair styles were flawless. They can do anything.. braids, big curls, updos and any style of makeup you want. Not only do I recommend them for weddings, but for cuts, colors, blowouts... everything! read more

I just had my hair highlighted by TIFFANY! She listened to exactly what I wanted which was a combo of highlights lowlights & a little purple! She pulled it off perfectly!! She always leaves me feeling & looking amazing! Definitely highly recommend you see her! Salon was very cute also social distancing in effect and fresh air.. super comfortable & can't wait to go back read more

I'm getting married in October and have been searching for a stylist and feel so lucky to have found Haydee! I first saw her for a bridal hair trial, note this was not my first hair trial.. I'm extremely picky when it comes to my hair and knowing this I wanted to find someone who I could completely trust to style me on my wedding day. Haydee made me feel so comfortable and talked me through the entire updo. I booked her for my wedding day on the spot! I have 100% confidence in her and am so excited to have her do my hair for my wedding! After living in San Diego for 5 years I have yet to find a hair stylist I like enough to return to for basic cut/color upkeep. I decided to give Haydee a go after my bridal trial for some highlights as I was looking to add some extra dimension for my wedding day and was SO happy with the results! A few days after my appointment there was one spot that was a little too bright for me (again very picky) so I hesitantly reached out to Haydee because it was oh so minor, but she got back to me immediately and did a quick fix the day! It's safe to say I finally found my go to stylist in San Diego who I plan on seeing long after my wedding day! read more

Haydee's work was absolutely beautiful!! Myself and the entire wedding party could not have looked better. I've known Haydee for almost 10 years so it was extra special to have her there on my wedding day...she was prompt, attentive, and made the whole morning enjoyable. :) I went for an old Hollywood glam hair style with smoky eyes and more natural makeup. It photographed well and stayed throughout the night! The loose curls looked beautiful during the photos and ceremony and then as the night progressed they dropped into more of a beach wave look- which many people complimented on. I would highly recommend Bridal by Haydee!! She's fabulous and her team is amazing. You will not be disappointed! read more

I give this spot a 4.5 out of 5 only because the location is a little work to get to and the salon itself is a little small. I had such a bad experience with salons before, especially with the loss of a little one not too far behind it and def made it a bad experience coupled with "bad salon service" it was kinda a nightmare. I really didn't want to spend the money at salon for hair/ makeup for the Marine Corps Ball but in the end I think I chose really well with this salon. First and foremost, the experience was fast & FRIENDLY and although it may seem like I spent a lot I was charged at least $65 for hair and then makeup and I left a generous tip for both ladies. I even left with some beauty bucks which I'm forever grateful for and may even use towards some highlights or a full color. Booking an appointment was easy and although my appointment was a little late at 2 pm and our event was at 6, I was a little nervous but to my surprise I got a call from the salon a day prior giving me a heads up about an earlier open appointment at 11 am due to cancellations so I booked the 11 am and didn't have to stress. The makeup artist was great, the hair stylist was great. Enjoyable experience and the salon, although small is really just pretty and gorgeous. I would recommend to anyone looking for hair/ makeup for events or weddings. read more

I have gotten my hair done here by Camille twice now(before the second lockdown) and I have had an amazing experience! I was looking for someone who would do my hair exactly the way I wanted since I have highlights and hate the brassy tone. Camille took what I asked for and made it even better. She is so kind and truly keeps the environment happy when sitting in her chair! Plus she is amazing at hair! They take Covid-19 very seriously and create a safe environment. I wish I could give them 10 stars, I highly recommend them and their services! read more

I definitely recommend Haydee! She gave me a fair price for my wedding hair and makeup (150) and the trial(100)! For my bridesmaids it is 70 for makeup and 65 for the mothers! I definitely recommend Haydee, she is very talented and was very helpful with what she recommended! So far I have just experienced the trial with her, which lasted about 2 hours and was very detailed and thorough. Haydee guided me through some different hair styles so that I could get a better idea of what they looked like on myself, but I am very excited for my wedding day because I trust her taste and I know my finished look will be very polished! Haydee was a wealth of information and gave me additional recommendations for lash extension artists and spray tan locations! I definitely recommend this setting if your wedding venue location doesn't allow makeup or hair artists on site (like mine!) because their space is very nice and spacious! read more

This review is long over due. I was looking for a place that does hair and make up for an engagement photo shoot. I found Bristle Hair and Makeup Artistry though Yelp. Not only was it reasonable price but it was also close by to where I live. The salon is absolutely beautiful. I love the Shabby chic look! Haydee did my make up and hair. She's such a nice person and really pays attention to detail. I was so happy how it all turned out! I have never felt so beautiful in my life ! I went back a month later to have Haydee color my hair. She did a pretty ombré. Again I was super delighted with the results! After a couple months I went back to get my hair done. Alyssa did my hair. She cut and colored it. Super blonde and curled it at the end. I loved it! I came back again and Megan did my hair. This girl rocks ! She kicks ass !! Her hair is always a different style, different color, and awesome tattoos. I knew this is my girl ! I love bright colorful hair. And I'm always changing my hairstyle. I can't have super edgy hair since my job won't allow me, but she always finds a way to kick it up a notch! I've always wanted silver hair! And after a few times seeing her, each time I got a little more blonde. Then the silver kicked in! I had half silver and half dark coffee brown underneath. We got even more creative. She found an awesome dark purple to mix with the dark brown underneath the silver. Since I do have a crap load of hair we did a badass under shave. Now my hair is not only less super bulky, when I have my hair partly up you can see the shaved part of my head! It's secretly purple. I will continue to see megan forever ! read more

Went to Bristle for a cut as it had been 10 months since my last. They were very understanding with scheduling. I was totally impressed by Haydee! I love my new hair-do and will be back for my next cut. read more

I meet Haydee on FB through a military group. As a military wife we move a lot and I was i need of a new stylist. Haydee is amazing and her salon is incredibly stylish. Her coloring skills are on point as well as her makeup services. I loved her work so much that she now provides all hair and makeup for my clients. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I most definitely would. To start off, the salon is absolutely chic and adorable, I couldn't get over how cute it was decorated. Next, I showed up 10 minutes early for my appointment and Megan (first time meeting her) welcomed me with open arms as if we had been friends for years and got me right in the chair. While my hair is really long, so I knew it'd take a few hours to process, both Megan and Haydee were so accommodating in making sure I was doing okay while my hair processed. My hair turned out better than I could have hoped for. The girls in the shop were so kind and welcoming. I would give this sweet salon more stars if I could. Extremely happy and I will be a regular client here on out. read more

Love love love this place !! I've been coming here for the last couple of months .. I needed a change after dying my hair jet black for the last 2 years and wanting to go light.. I was very scared to do anything to damage my hair going light / bleaching it etc because it took me years and years to grow it long. I met Haydee a few years back but never had the opportunity to experience her magical hands !! I can honestly tell you that She is an amazing and very talented hair stylist! Not to mention how sweet she is and how welcome you feel as soon as you enter her salon. I'm beyond happy with the results that I'm definitely not going anywhere else to do my hair! She not only changed my black processed hair to light but I also got a haircut, style and an amazing hair treatment that my hair feels and looks beautiful, shiny and it's healthier than it was before I bleached it! Isn't that priceless ?! My hair has gotten longer faster since she started cutting it. She only uses high end products on your hair and she takes her time to make sure you are 100% satisfied. You won't be disappointed if you book an appointment at The Bristle Hair Salon :-) read more

I went here to get my hair and makeup for my babyshower. Super nice people and they understood my time constraints and worked quickly and efficiently. read more

I had my hair cut by Diana about a month ago. She was nice and the salon is SUPER cute. I was specific when describing the cut I wanted. I asked for a blunt cut, angled lob. I showed her a few pictures so I was confident we were on the same page. During the haircut she checked in with me and we decided to go a little shorter in the back. After drying my hair I noticed one side of my hair was about 2 inches shorter than the other side! She said oh yes I am going to fix that. By the time she was done "fixing" it I had lost the majority of the length in the front and had barely any angle left to my angled lob. She asked how I liked my hair. I was pretty sad about loosing all the length I had just spent 4 months growing out. I gently let her know that the cut was nice but I was disappointed because it's not what I asked for. She didn't say anything and started to brush my hair. It was kinda awkward. I then said I'm sorry l didn't mean to upset you but I was just being honest. The cut is nice, just not what I wanted. She said well there is still an angle to it. And I just dropped it after that. Needless to say, I won't be back in. I shouldn't be the one apologizing to my stylist when she's the one who cut it lopsided. read more

We recently moved and the worst thing about moving is finding a new hair stylist. I am so lucky I met Kelly. I just finished with my appointment and she is amazing! I have really thick hair and have a hard time finding someone that can properly layer and texture my hair. She was prompt with my appointment time, which I appreciate a ton! She washed, cut, and did a fabulous blow drying. I can't wait to see her again in a few months. I will be recommending her to my family and friends. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, you bet I would. I came here expecting big things. They look promising in their facebook/instagram posts but the result I got from Alyssa was something I could have done with my poor hair-coloring knowledge and a tub of bleach (pictures to follow). I went for a consultation before my appointment asked if what I wanted was possible and she assured me that it was. To add to the unprofessionalism Alyssa let me know, after the fact, that she put green dye in my hair to cancel out the red and was really dissapointed by the lack of communication. The green is in the tips of my hair,not shown in pictures.Alyssa had offered to fix my hair and then revoked that offer. Needless to say, save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Words can not describe how amazing I think Haydee and her team are! Haydee is such an amazing woman that after even just one time of meeting her you feel like you have a friend not just a hair dresser! She is so truly wonderful. I have recently gone to Haydee and her team to have my hair styled and my makeup done and can honestly say that I have never felt more beautiful in my life! No matter what your needs are hair cut or style or make up you will be more then happy here, you will never want to go to anyone else! read more

Loved finding this place! It's super close to home, the place is super cute and haydee was very professional and welcoming.

I've gone to Alyssa for years, and when I saw the horrible comment from before I had to leave a review. I've personally watched her talk to clients about everything she is going to do before she does it. If she knows she can't get the results the client wants in one sitting, she makes that very clear. She is very professional, charming, and fun. As for a hair cutting she has never let me down, never once have I had a bad haircut (people comment on it often :). Don't let people who have unrealistic hair goals deter you from going to Alyssa and the Britsle Salon. I've only seen girls (and guys ;) leave with amazing hair, just check out her personal Yelp page. I've probably seen hundreds of people leave with a smile on their face, and never once heard a complaint. She knows what she is doing (and so does everyone else at Bristle). Give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

I needed hair and makeup done at the last minute. The salon opened early to accommodate my schedule. Storm was ready for me when I walked in at 8:30am. She was professional and fun. It was the perfect start to my morning! I'd like to thank Haydee and Storm for the great experience I received at this salon. read more

I came To the bristle hair on Tuesday to get a haircut. This place is very welcoming. It was my first time here and Haydee was the one to cut my hair and let me just say she is so friendly, nice and a great stylist. I will definitely becoming back. By the way if you are military she has a special on Tuesday for military!! read more

Love this place and the professional attention Megan gives to her clients. Ask for Megan if you want a cut and color! I never thought I could pull off blonde; but megan was able to convince me and it turned out perfect! Next , I asked to be a redhead, and I love the transformation. This salon is 5 star plus! read more

I've been going to Haydee for a decade to get my hair done, if that tells you anything! I've stuck with her through different salons and locations throughout the years because she's super talented, efficient, and kind. I'm so stoked that she's finally gone into business for herself! The salon's styling and attention to detail is fabulous. She truly cares about her clients' satisfaction and makes sure you get what you want every time you see her. Never one for cheaping out, Haydee always uses top-of-the-line products and color. You really don't need to look any further than the Bristle for your styling needs. Give Haydee a try; you will not be disappointed! read more

I have a hard time trusting hair stylists, but Haydee broke down that wall. The salon is so cute with a rustic feel and you can feel the passion in the stylists' work. Haydee knows exactly what my hair needs without me saying anything. They stay up-to-date with all the latest hair trends. I highly recommend this salon to anyone who wants a quality haircut, hairstyle, or hair color! read more

Britney at the salon is absolutely wonderful! She's been doing my hair for a couple of years and is fabulous. I love going on Saturday mornings as its calm in the Salon and very relaxing- the music is wonderful too and adds to the ambiance. I've been to slots before where they play club music and it drives me crazy! One suggestion I would make would be to warm up the salon- temperature wise! The last couple times I've been there I was freezing... not sure I could be comfortable in there without wearing my winter jacket. read more

I was in a big predicament when it came to my wedding- I was moving from North Carolina to California with only enough time to maybe see a new hair stylist twice beforehand. I found Haydee through an acquaintance and she and I spoke on the phone for a long time discussing my hair, what I liked with color, my wedding vision, and more. Haydee assured me she could meet my standards and boy did she. Haydee and Megan met with me to do my bridal trial while I was in San Diego for a week (pre-move). They played around with my hair and extensions, discussed makeup options, and truly made me feel like I was the most important person in the world to them. Immediately I was put at ease. A few months later, Haydee and Megan made my dreams into a reality. When working on my bridesmaids' hair they came up with adding braids in as a theme. The outcome was truly stunning. My hair was perfect, my makeup was magazine worthy, and they made the morning more stress free than I could have imagined it. They were part of my friend-family it seemed, adding music, fun, laughter, and making each and every one of us feel stunning. I cannot recommend Haydee enough for your wedding day. She and anybody she has under her wing will truly work to understand your vision and make it a reality- and so much more. In addition to that, I continue to work with Haydee on my very platinum hair. She has been meticulous in maintaining the integrity of my SUPER fine hair as she lifts it to white. read more

I was referred to this salon from a Facebook group I was in, and I am so glad I took the chance and came in!! I have been so picky about letting anyone touch my hair. The salon is absolutely beautiful, and the staff is extremely friendly. I had my hair done by Stefania, and I could not be more impressed and happy how it turned out. I came in wanting a change, and left with just that!! She was so easy to talk to, and walked me through step by step what she was doing, and what would look best on me. I have extremely thick hair, and she dealt with it like a champ! I will never go anywhere else as long as I'm in San Diego. Anyone looking for an amazing hairstylist go here! You won't regret it. read more

She did my hair for the first time over five years ago, and have been following her ever since. She's the only one that has been able to cover the stubborn grey I inherited from my dad's side of the family. I'm so jazzed that she finally got her own place. KUDOS!!! read more
