If I could give Celeste more stars, I genuinely would. She is SO good at what she does. I absolutely love her work, and her blowouts are some of the best I've ever gotten.
Before I moved to San Diego, I used to go to Celeste for blowouts all the time, and I started sending my mom to her too. We both absolutely love her. I've gotten blowouts from bigger, well-known salons before, and Celeste's are honestly better. She works quickly, but the quality never feels rushed. My hair always comes out smooth, bouncy, polished, and looking like I just got a complete glow-up.
My mom also has a LOT of very thick hair, so doing her hair is definitely not easy. Even at home, giving her a blowout is exhausting. Somehow Celeste handles all of it and still does an amazing job every single time. I'm sure it's an arm workout for her LOL, but she always does it with a smile on her face.
I think what really proves how talented Celeste is is her technique. She doesn't need some crazy expensive Dyson or fancy equipment to make your hair look amazing. She uses a pretty simple blow dryer, and somehow the result is better than blowouts I've gotten using all the expensive tools. It really showed me that a great blowout isn't about having the most expensive hair dryer, it's about the person holding it. Her technique is THAT good.
She'll wash and shampoo your hair and completely transform it with the blowout. She also uses really good products for heat protection, smoothing, and controlling frizz, and she's always putting me onto new hair products that I end up loving.
On top of being talented, Celeste is just so fun to be around. She's such a happy, jolly person and really easy to talk to, which makes the appointment even better. Her salon is also really nice, clean, simple, and organized without feeling cluttered or overwhelming.
I genuinely wish she cut hair too because I would trust her with my layers in a heartbeat based on how good she is at styling my hair.
She also offers package deals where you can pre purchase multiple blowout sessions, which I think is really convenient if you get your hair done regularly. I haven't personally purchased one yet because I'm constantly going back and forth between San Jose and San Diego, but once I figure out my living situation, I'm definitely considering it.
I can't wait to book with Celeste again ASAP. If you're looking for someone who can give you a genuinely high quality blowout and knows how to work with different hair types, especially a LOT of thick hair, I absolutely recommend her. She's amazing at what she does, and both my mom and I love going to her. read more
