    Though this review is a little late, it certainly hasn't been forgotten. We wanted to wait until the wedding photos were ready so we could show off the amazing work Stephanie and her hair & makeup team did! From the start, they were incredibly kind, patient, and a joy to work with. They were always checking in on me and my bridal party to make sure we were feeling and doing well. They went above and beyond to ensure that everyone's hair and makeup were absolutely flawless. Their skills are truly incredible. The end results exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier! Highly recommend Stephanie and her team. You definitely won't be disappointed! :)

    There were many vendors at my wedding but there were only two that really stood out and Brides Nest (Stephanie) was one of them. Amidst all the chaos of wedding preparations, my wife and I got really lucky we didn't have to spend too much time finding a Hair Makeup Artist because we were referred by a family member and we couldn't have been happier with the recommendation. Even though Stephanie does not live close to Orange County and she had to drive a great distance to the location of the photo shoot, she was the first one to show up and be on time. As a guy, I was hesitant at first to get makeup done as it was my first time ever doing so but Stephanie made me feel comfortable from the beginning and was very friendly conversing with me throughout the whole session. Stephanie was also kind enough to carefully do my hair for me so that I would look good for my big day. Once I was finished, it was my wife's turn to get her makeup and hair done and Stephanie immediately went to work without any breaks. She is a true professional and made sure we were all ready on time to take photos. She didn't rush anything and was very efficient with time. When I showed my hair to my groomsmen, they gave me mixed responses so I asked Stephanie if she could redo my hair and without any pushback she kindly replied "this is your day, how would you like your hair to be styled". This is the kind of service that is missing from most businesses these days and it's this level of service that makes a huge difference. To my surprise, when our photographer Tony arrived Stephanie and Tony knew each other making everything else go very smoothly. Stephanie even went through the trouble of being a backup/assistant photographer to Tony while we did our first look. When we asked Stephanie if she can also join us at the wedding venue, she immediately replied "yes" and reassured both my wife and I that she will be there for both of us just in case one of us needed a touch up. Everything after the ceremony was a huge blur, but I can remember that Stephanie was in the bridal room waiting for us and asking us one last time if we needed any touch up even though she had to leave earlier she waited for us and made sure we were good for the rest of evening and really took good care of us before leaving. I felt bad she was not able to eat before having to take off and cannot thank her enough for the great services she provided to both me and my wife. Going forward, I will be recommending Brides Nest to all my family/friends who are not yet married. Look no further and hurry up before you miss the chance to book Stephanie!

    I had the pleasure of having Stephanie and Mei do hair and makeup for my wedding day. They were able to get me, 3 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers ready and looking beautiful before the ceremony started at 10am. They worked quickly and efficiently and we were all very impressed with their work! Stephanie was wonderful to work with leading up to the day as well. She answered my questions and was very detailed in her responses. I appreciated that she was always fast with sending invoices and timelines when I had to add a service. Thank you for being part of our day and for being so wonderful to my family!

    My hair on the day of my trial, before my engagement shoot. @bridesnest

    Booking Brides Nest was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I first noticed that the owner, Stephanie, works a lot with our photographer, @antonioprophoto. Because our photographer was such a joy to work with, we had a feeling Stephanie would be amazing as well. Her Instagram account showed pictures of beautiful brides with soft glam makeup. As soon as I visited her website, I knew that she was not only a talented makeup artist but also an organized, transparent business owner. She made her pricing readily available (I didn't have to contact her separately about it), and I was able to instantly figure out if she was available on our wedding day. The booking process alone made it easy for me to decide to work with Brides Nest. I was able to schedule my trial on the day of my engagement photo shoot. Stephanie listened to my thoughts on the soft glam look I would like for myself, asked me how my makeup looks on a daily basis, and took into consideration the type of makeup I do not prefer. She was down-to-earth and fun to chat with! It was clear that she enjoys what she does, which goes a long way when you book any vendor. Thanks to Stephanie, my makeup looked amazing in all the photos, and it lasted several hours without requiring a touch-up. This definitely helped because we did our shoot at Griffith Observatory around sunset and dusk, so I had no time to look at myself. My hair stayed put throughout the entire session as well. I appreciated that she recommended using extensions. We still have a few months to go for our wedding, and working with Stephanie is making the process much less chaotic for us. She is quick to respond to all of our questions. She was more than happy to schedule another trial session for me because I'm still not sure if I want to put my hair up or down on the big day. She'll also be doing a trial for my husband. We're looking forward to seeing how gorgeous everyone will look on our wedding day!

    Bridenest provided hair and makeup services for everyone in the wedding party, even the groomsmen! Not only was their work amazing, but it lasted all day long, through hours of laughter, dancing, and even tears. I was definitely ugly crying at some points, but you couldn't tell from my make up! For the men, this was their first time getting hair and make up. Many of them were unsure at first, but my partner and I thought it would be a nice treat for the entire wedding party, as a thank you for their support. Afterwards, they couldn't stop staring at themselves in the mirror! Their confidence really showed in the photos! Stephanie and her team were really flexible and easy to work with. They also had great advice when I was looking for direction in my vision. We walked through looks to match my dress and she suggested hair jewelry as well! Besides their great hair and makeup services, they were also really professional. They came early to set up their space. They also played music to set a fun atmosphere while we were all getting ready! Stephanie's playlist has some bangers!

    This is my trial makeup and hair. Absolutely love!!!

    Stephanie is amazing! I found her through Instagram through a promo she was running and I loved her pics so decided to go with her for hair and makeup! She did my bridal trial a few months before and I was SO happy with the finished look! I added all my bridesmaids and the moms and she was able to accommodate us (with the help of another MUA on her same level!). I have a particularly picky mother and Stephanie is such a saint and was able to deal with her! Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup and I am so happy with everyone's hair and makeup the day of the wedding. Stephanie was even able to keep my stepdaughter's hair curl the whole day when it never holds a curl! 10 out of 10, would use Stephanie again!

    Let me tell you this, Stephanie is an amazing hair and make-up artist! I found her in Instagram, and I saw her hair and make-up style. She responds quickly, I never had a problem communicating or contacting her. My wedding was in the late afternoon and we able to book her earlier to also add my mother's and fiancé's hair and make-up. Yes, she does men's/ groom's hair and make-up(touch-up). Stephanie is incredible! She saved me by taking out the stress of how to prep my mom and my fiancé. I don't usually use make-up, so I'm not used to people putting lashes on me or just anything on my face and Stephanie made it easier and smooth. She was very easy to talk to and very friendly. I asked for soft glam and she delivered it! Way better than I thought. Hands down to her talent and skills. My mom and I felt soo beautiful. My fiancé hair was kinda messy before but she fixed it well. He looks very charming. Our look stayed all day, even though it was a hot weather and we cried alot, nothing was ruined. We highly recommend her especially on your wedding day. Include you parents or your wedding party, it's definitely worth it.

    After Party

    Stephanie did a great job for my wedding day! I booked her for 2 days back to back and she helped me create a new look each day. The makeup application felt light but it stayed ALL DAY in 90+ degree weather. And even at the after party! Stephanie was a wizard with hair. She created 8 different looks for my entire bridal party. Overall, Stephanie is super nice and accommodating. I am so happy to support her as her business grows. Just a tip for anyone booking ANY hair or makeup artist, make sure you come with inspiration photos. I cannot stress the importance of this. It's an emotional process and if you're not able to communicate what you want, then it's like a waste of money.

    Big shout out to Stephanie for providing fast, friendly and FABULOUS service. I received many compliments on my hair and makeup, and i couldn't be more pleased. I was a low key bride and go-with-the-flow so I really didn't have any expectations of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like exactly. I just told Stephanie make it glam, hair down and use these hair pieces...and BAM! Nailed it! B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L Big thank you and hope we cross paths again for any future events.

    Celebrated my wedding yesterday and I have tell everyone how impressed I am by Bride's Nest! I came across Brides Nest on Instagram. I reached out and Stephanie responded right away. She was very helpful and accommodating. I had never hired someone to do my make up so I didn't know what to expect. I sent her photos of the hair and makeup I had in mind and wished for the best outcome. I must say I was so impressed! They were set up and ready to go before I even arrived. My make up was BETTER than what I asked for and it stayed on ALL NIGHT! My hair was also on point! The hairstyle lasted all night despite the wild time I had dancing all night! Thank you so much for making me and my wife look better than ever! I must add, I cried when I saw my wife for the first time. I cried during our first dance. I sweated a lot while dancing. My make up did not need retouching at all! You gals are the best and super sweet! While I don't plan to get married again, I do hope to need your services again

    I found BridesNest via an Instagram ad shortly after I got engaged and was so happy she was available for both my engagement and my wedding day! Even though my engagement was supposed to be a trial I ended up choosing different makeup and hair on my actual wedding day and it turned out even better. Stephanie was very responsive to messages and in person took care to ask frequently if everything looked ok so far. If you wanted to adjust anything she'd be happy to do so. The makeup was comfortable (including the lashes) and had staying power. I didn't want to wear contacts as glasses are a part of me, and loved that the makeup showed up pretty natural in photos. Dee did my wedding hair (loose updo with braids) and it was so romantic and perfect for my dress. She incorporated my leafy vine hairpiece and it looks so beautiful in photos! They also made my new sister-in-law really pretty and my new mother-in-law (who never wears makeup) was so pleased with her makeup as well! Thank you BridesNest! (Once I get more wedding photos will update some more that shows the makeup more!)

After researching multiple salons, I found Ave 65 Salon nearby and scheduled an appointment with Yvonne directly. It was easy with multiple follow-ups via text until the day of my appointment. Even though I spent my entire night at the salon with Yvonne, I was glad that I found a stylist who did everything from start to finish by herself. I liked how Yvonne did not stick me under a heater just to speed up the bleaching process and also included bonding treatment to the overall service. Even though I went a little beyond what I was expecting to pay, I'm so happy with the way my hair turned out; both cut and color. It was exactly what I envisioned, if not better. Despite bleaching, my hair still feels so soft and smooth. I received so many compliments on the color of my hair and the dimensions the babylights brought forward.

She also included a olaplex treatment so that my hair felt soft and healthy, and she also gave me further instructions and sold me needed products to maintain and take care of my hair to avoid fading or mistreatment of my hair until my next appointment. I highly highly recommend going to her for her services.
