This review is long overdue, as my wedding was in August. Let me start by saying that from the moment I called Roupak & heard her voice, I knew she was my girl! She exuded this calm + confidence + ease. Beyond having absolutely beautiful hair, it was important to me that all my vendors brought good vibes to add to the atmosphere :) Roupak delivered on all accounts. She had a great attitude from start to finish. Not only did Roupak pull off my Old Hollywood Glam look, she added some softness to it to tie it in with the whimsical/magical feel of my wedding. She was working together with another makeup team (I hired a different makeup team only because she was my friend) & they worked effortlessly together. Not only did Roupak do a very time-consuming hairstyle in record time, she was so helpful all around. She has a beautiful personality and having her on my team felt so good. If you're thinking of hiring her do it right now! My wedding photos are proof that she is a MASTER at her craft. My hair held up all night. Roupak thank you so much. You were a gem! So lucky to have had you. You are the best!!!

Roupak is nice but doesn't cut the job! I greatly regret using her for wedding. Dont risk it. Her makeup style is heavy, does not airbrush. Hair was a major issue. I did a wedding hair trial...it did not hold. She does not use enough product for hair. Picture attached of "glam look". We decided to change styles for the wedding day, I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. (and also brought my own hairspray the second time) On the day of she did the bridal party first. PLEASE PLEASE put yourself (the bride) first because we ran all the way up until the last minute. We were unable to fix the requested pony updo. She did not listen or look at the pictures and pinned it back, within an hour all of the hair extensions clips showed through in pictures!

Thank you for everything you did to help on my day. It was a last minute book & I'm so thankful you were available. I absolutely loved my hair & makeup. Salon is very clean & super cute!

I loved my experience with Roupak. She is extremely sweet and listened to what I wanted. I also feel like her prices were a little bit better than some of the other people I was looking at. She brought in additional artists for my rather large party and set a great timeline. My hair and makeup did not budge and she recommended I get 2 sets of hair extensions, and boy was she right! My advice is listen to the professional! She did a variety of styles from more natural to full glam depending on what the individual wanted. She also spent time redoing anything if they changed their mind. One of my bridesmaid's curls didn't hold super well but my bridesmaid said that happens typically (she has super long hair!) and it still had a loose curl which looked great. The undereye setting powder did reflect with the photo booth but was perfection in all the other photos. I would definitely recommend Roupak and would also recommend doing a trial first to perfect exactly what you want. Thank you!!!!

I have been getting my hair and makeup done by Roupak for the last 10 years and I have never left her studio unsatisfied with her work. I always leave feeling so beautiful and she does an amazing job enhancing all my natural features in the best way possible. There's no doubt that Roupak knows what she is doing. She genuinely takes her time learning your face and features to truly do her magic when it comes to hair and makeup. She takes what I tell her and creates a vision that is 10 times better than what I asked for. Her studio located in El Cajon has a great vibe to it, and it is very comfortable. Her decorations and overall atmosphere make the room welcoming and inviting. Lots of street parking and a parking lot located under/near the building. I feel like I could just sit there all day. She has snacks and drinks at hand and is always offering it the second I walk in. Her hospitality does not go unnoticed and really makes Roupak feel more like a friend than a makeup artist/hairdresser. Her kind spirit and sweet soul makes her so unique. If you are looking for a makeup artist or hairdresser that will not let you leave until you are happy or satisfied, Roupak is the one. She's amazing

Superb work, great personality. Appointment time flew by. Felt like chatting with an old friend. Absolutely recommend. Made me look and feel fabulous for a Barbie themed bachelorette party.

Roupak is AMAZING! I used her for few occasions prior to my wedding and on my wedding day. All I had to do was show her a picture of what I wanted and boom she worked her magic. She even fit in my daughter in while I was getting my make up done for my bridal shower. The day of my wedding she did my makeup as well as 6 of my bridal party. I can not say enough good things about her! I will be using her again in the future and would highly recommend trying her!

Where do I begin? She is AMAZING! I am SO happy that I had Roupak do my Bridal makeup and hair. She is so kind and sweet, and not only does she make you look your best she makes you feel it! I did not need to touch up my makeup at all and I got married in 100+ degree heat! She nailed my dream look! I received so many compliments. My Makeup and hair looked amazing in person and in photos. I could not recommend her enough. I will definitely be booking her for future special occasions! Thank you Roupak for making me feel so beautiful and confident on my special day!

Roupak did my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with the MOB, MIL, and three bridesmaids. She was so polite, timely, professional and kind! I told her I wanted it to be more subtle and she really understood and nailed it!! I had such a great experience and am so happy she helped me on the big day! Also, Roupak has a very calm demeanor and it helped put me at ease :)))

Literally stop your search and just book. During my wedding planning process, hair and makeup was a top priority because I wanted to make sure not only me, but my bridesmaids, felt and looked beautiful- Roupak and Roshna went above and beyond in listening to our vision and bringing it to life. I personally did two separate hair trials and Roupak gave me exactly what I wanted and was envisioning so I knew what to expect the day of. My girls on the other hand came in with photos from pinterest and Roupak and Roshna delivered! I cannot begin to say how highly I would recommend these two ladies and will book them again in the future for events. They are talented, organized, friendly, responsive and highly skilled.

I had Roupak do my bridal hair and makeup as well as hair and makeup for my bridesmaid and my mom. She was so sweet and accommodating!! Roupak sent us a schedule beforehand so that I could let everyone know what time and how to coordinate. She stayed to do touch-up makeup and hair for everyone as well. Roupak was down to earth, so sweet, and made me feel like the most beautiful bride.

Roupak TRANSFORMED my face for my wedding. I gave her inspiration photos beforehand, and she exceeded my expectations. My family was running around trying to get the Airbnb ready on the morning of. Roupak was a trooper and worked around them. I usually don't wear makeup day-to-day, and I find fake lashes to be itchy; however, the lashes she used were the most comfortable ones I've ever worn. I didn't even want to take them off at the end of the day. They looked so good. Thank you Roupak! I'll share more pictures once the photographer sends them over.

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

The right stylist is someone who's not only highly skilled, but also consistent, detail-oriented, and able to perform under pressure. That's exactly who Nicole Alex is. Nicole has been my go-to for haircuts and color for nearly 10 years, and I can honestly say she continues to impress me with her talent and professionalism. I'll admit I'm not the easiest client--my hair is extremely coarse, thick, and often damaged, and I'm not always the most punctual. Despite these challenges, Nicole always treats every appointment with care, patience, and precision. Whether I'm coming in after weeks of being out of town or squeezing in a last-minute session, she never cuts corners . Her work is always meticulous, and the results speak for themselves. I've worked with many stylists over the years, but none have come close to the level of quality and consistency Nicole provides. If you're new to San Diego, visiting, or a local who still hasn't found that one stylist who truly checks all the boxes--look no further. Nicole Alex is the real deal. Once you sit in her chair, you'll understand why I, and so many others, continue to choose her time and time again. She's simply exceptional.

During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
