I've been going to Janeth for about 3 years now and I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else with my…read morehair. When I first started going to her, my hair was super damaged and short, and over time she completely transformed it. My hair is now so much healthier, longer, and stronger thanks to her care and consistency. She always takes her time, listens to exactly what I want, and somehow makes my hair come out even better every time!! She also does my extensions and blends them so perfectly. I always leave feeling pretty, and refreshed after my appointments!!! Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she's also such a sweet and caring person who truly cares about her clients. The salon atmosphere is always relaxing, it honestly feels like a little self-care day every time I go. lol If you're looking for someone who truly cares about hair health and makes you feel beautiful every appointment, I 100% recommend booking with Janeth!!

This review took me months to write because reliving it is genuinely upsetting. I want to start by…read moresaying the stylist I saw, Caitlyn, is a sweet person but she destroyed my hair. I went to her in October for a refresh of my highlights. I was already nervous, since my previous stylist had moved away and always took great care of my fine hair, making sure it never got damaged. I told Caitlyn upfront that I was anxious about letting someone new bleach my hair, given a history of stylists frying it, and that I chose her specifically because she's a senior stylist. She reassured me she doesn't use heat dryers and starts with a low developer, so my hair would be fine. Once I was in the chair, I explained exactly what I wanted: a little brighter, a refresh of all my highlights, but keeping the dark root and dimension shown in my before photo. She agreed and got started. She never mentioned pricing, so I assumed it would be around $400 at most. During the appointment, she suggested going through my ends because they looked dark. I said maybe next time, since I wanted to preserve the integrity of my hair. Later, she mentioned she'd gone ahead and done a few extra pieces at the bottom anyway something I never asked for. By the time she finished washing my hair, it was already dark outside, so I told her not to worry about blow-drying it. I went home with wet hair. Even then, it looked extremely blonde, which worried me, but I assumed it was just because it was wet. At checkout, I was shocked: the total came to $650. I left a tip anyway because she was watching the screen as I paid and I felt put on the spot. (Receipts attached.) When I got home, my husband immediately said my hair looked way too blonde and pointed out broken pieces. He was right. Over the next few days, it kept breaking. My hair had taken years to get healthy, and in one appointment it became dry, brittle, and was falling out. The extra strands she did without asking only made the breakage worse. I ended up buying box dye to fix the color myself, since I hated how it looked. As of June 2026, I've had to cut at least 8 inches off, and I'm still working to repair the damage. This experience caused me real distress -- I loved my hair, and I deeply regret trying a new stylist. I'm sharing this so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Before, after, and current photos are attached.

Valet is apparently free, but I found street parking in front of OSPI. I initially found SAGE on Yelp, then visited their website to learn more before booking. I really appreciated how transparent they are. Each stylist has a profile with a bio and a picture. The services and individual pricings are listed upfront in the booking portal, which made it easy to choose someone who fit what I was looking for. Price transparency is important to me, and at the very end I was charged exactly what I booked. My stylist was Mikayla, and she was incredibly meticulous/detail-oriented. She spent about 4.5 hours perfecting my Full Highlights, and I never felt like she was rushing through any part of the process. During the consultation, I felt heard. She listened to what I wanted without any judgment or pressure to steer me toward a different outcome. Instead, the conversation felt collaborative, with explanations that helped me make informed decisions. I know for some, having to chat for all that time may be daunting. Mikayla struck the perfect balance between friendly conversation and giving me space. She clearly communicated each step of the process before doing it. My Full Highlights service included foiling, toning, a shadow root, a hair mask, and a full blowout. I'm so happy with how everything turned out!

Colby really took the time to listen to what I wanted and understood exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to keep my long hair while adding movement and shape, and he absolutely nailed it.

Before I left, he even let me know that if there was anything I'd like adjusted after living with the haircut for a few days, he'd be happy to take care of it. That level of care and attention really stood out. I'm so glad I found both SAGE and Colby. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a stylist who truly listens and delivers.

Coupled with finding the most prefect dress, I am a firm believer that hair and makeup is right up there in a wedding day investment. I couldn't be anymore pleased and blessed that I made that investment with Design Visage team and Lauren specifically . The whole process was seamless...initial booking, payment, trial and most importantly the flow of the wedding day. Being in the industry ( managing Lin & Jirsa photography) I know that running on time on the wedding day is crucial. The majority of my experiences in weddings I've been part of, is that the hair and make up run over, taking away from photography ( one of the biggest wedding expense! ) I had 9 bridesmaids, 2 moms, 3 grandmas, 3 aunts and 2 flowergirls + ME to get done ! Woo weeee! But Summer, the manager, did a great job of getting the right amount of stylists and scheduling that everyone was on time and lookin' gorgeous!!! Additionally to running on time, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my entire life! I did a second look for the reception and Lauren was on time, got me pretty in a timely manner for us to head down to our cocktail hour and take more pics. I couldn't be any more happy w the service from the second I booked to the end of my wedding day! On quite possibly a stressful day, the last thing you want to do is stress about being on time... DV does the work and expects the bride to sit back, enjoy, get beautiful and sip on champagne and thats exactly what I did. Look no more, book DV! read more

Words can't describe how long it took me to find a great make up artist/service at a good price. I found Design Visage on yelp and noticed there were no bad reviews so i decided to book them for my big day. Rachel was my artist and she was absolutely amazing!!!! I have never felt so beautiful. I noticed many artists out there cake on a lot of make up and that was something i did not want on my wedding day. I wanted to look elegant and look like myself. Rachel made me look like myself and made me look beautiful. She also did my mothers make up and my sisters (maid of honor). They both loved their make up and looked gorgeous. Rachel listens well and is extremely professional . Meghan who i also worked with from the beginning till the end was great- she quickly responded to my emails and calls. She coordinated all the wedding day details with the make up artist and myself. You will not go wrong using Design Visage. It is worth every penny I would definitely use them again. read more

Yes, I have to agree on all these people reviewed this place. I just tried their facial last week by one of friend's referral. I should have come here to check the review first! They are trying to sell me things from the moment I stepped into the door. The facial made my face red, but the boss there said it is normal. (I think their boss's name is Caren Lazarus, don't trust her nice smile at all!) After I came back home, I used Aloe Vera for a week without using anything else and finally saved my skin! Also I saw they are doing the makeup and hair style for the brides-to-be. Yuck... (I couldn't say this in front of the excited ladies), yes, it is like those 60s Halloween party. I am not joking. If I am going to get married, I definitely will not go to this place. Oh I just checked their website thanks to Yelp. Don't trust the pictures on the website; trust the yelp users here. Don't make the same mistake as me... read more

Our photographer recommended Design Visage to us, after looking through her portfolio and noting to us that the best hair and makeup came from Design Visage, regardless of who the stylist was. She felt that everyone who worked for Design Visage did a fantastic job! She was so right! Amy did the hair and makeup for the bride and me, the MOB, and she was amazing! She understood our needs, and how to work with our different textures and hair lengths, and just what to do to help us look our absolute best. She was so helpful and receptive to feedback after our preview sessions, and we both were totally delighted with the way everything turned out on the BIG Day! I have to give a shout out to Athena as well. She was so encouraging, supportive and helpful, answered all our questions quickly, and gave us excellent information and advice! I am so happy that we chose Design Visage for my daughter's wedding day! read more

Design Visage is as good as it gets. I just got married last month, and they were by far my most favorite vendor. I looked picture perfect all night long, and our pictures are so fantastic. I can not thank Georgia enough for being patient with me, arriving on time, and having a calm nature. From the moment I called they were very professional, with excellent customer service. I was able to buy hair extensions that matched perfectly and also earrings and a silk flower for my hair. They have everything you need for your wedding beauty and they will help you try everything. I saved $275.00 on buying a veil. I saw it at Mon Amie, but when I went for my preview, they had the same veil there and let me borrow it for the week. Thank you so much Georgia, Michelle, Caren and all the other girls read more

I am so glad I did. They were the most professional company I have ever seen. And my stylist was Dana was fantastic. Dana and Adrienne were on time on the wedding and all of us looked fantastic, including my mom and grandmother. I also went to the salon several times prior to the wedding for facials, body wraps, and a airbrush tan. Everyone who works there is the best. I will continue to go for waxing and facials, it has made a great change with my skin. I think it is important to let other brides know about the people who make a big difference on such an important day. thanks Design Visage read more

After I sent my contract info, I received an email from her assistant that my info was received and that a contract would be coming soon. I was so excited! It had already been a month since I initially reached out, so I was ready to lock this down.

It's been almost 3 weeks and no response. In those 3 weeks, I spoke to 5 different artists who responded IMMEDIATELY, and have moved forward with booking & paying, providing my vision, booking bridesmaids, and having all of my questions answered in hours by the artist I booked - a true sign of professionalism. If this is a sneak peek into how working with her will be like on the big day, then maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I'm sure she's a wonderful person but this was so rude & left a horrible taste in my mouth. Seems to be a common issue with her one star reviews too.

There are already so many glowing reviews about Vivian, and I'm thrilled to add mine to the list…read morebecause she was truly one of my favorite wedding vendors. I booked a bridal hair and makeup trial with Vivian a few months before the wedding (highly recommend!), and I was already blown away. She created a soft glam makeup look that enhanced my natural features in the most gorgeous, romantic way. For hair, I went with a whimsical half-up style, accented with different types of braids and a few soft face-framing pieces--it was exactly the enchanted garden vibe I was going for. I felt like a princess. And somehow... she outdid herself on the actual wedding day. Everything just clicked. My hair had even more texture and dimension, and the makeup was flawless--glowy but not heavy, beautifully blended, and lasted all day and night. I've never felt more confident and radiant. Beyond her artistry, Vivian is just a joy to be around. She brought such a calming and uplifting energy to our bridal suite. She made the whole experience feel personal, fun, and warm--cheering us on like our unofficial hype woman while we practiced a surprise bridal group dance. I honestly felt like I had a talented friend by my side. Yes, Vivian may be a bit pricier than some, but she is absolutely worth it. If you want to feel your best, look your best, and have a vendor who makes the getting-ready process magical, Vivian is the one. I can't thank her enough!

As someone who knows next to nothing about hair and makeup, Kelly was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. We did two trials, and while the first makeup trial wasn't quite what I was looking for and the second got much closer, I still wasn't 100% confident we had landed on the perfect look. I tried my best to explain what I wanted, but I just couldn't quite put it into words. Somehow, Kelly understood exactly what I was envisioning and absolutely nailed it. My bridal look was everything I could have hoped for! I wish I had my wedding photos to share because the final look was everything I dreamed of, but I couldn't wait any longer to post this review! I'll include my hair from my 2nd trial instead, which is what we went with. Throughout the process, Kelly never made me feel rushed or dismissed my concerns. She truly listened, offered thoughtful guidance, and worked with me every step of the way until we got it right. She was so easy to work with, genuinely sweet, and her entire team was wonderful. I couldn't have been happier with my experience and would recommend her to any bride!

I found Kelly Tran Artistry on Yelp while coming in from out of town for my nephew's wedding. I had…read moreno idea where to go for hair and makeup for myself and my daughters, so I relied on reviews, photos, pricing, location, and availability -- and Yelp did not disappoint. I made an excellent choice. Kelly's studio is adorable, and even on a Sunday she accommodated our schedule. She listened to our preferences and worked her magic with so much ease. She used airbrush makeup on me, and I was honestly impressed by how fast and flawless the whole process was. I was in and out quickly with both hair and makeup, and she did gorgeous hairstyles for my two daughters as well. I highly recommend Kelly. I have a huge family in Orange County, many in that wedding-filled season of life, so I'm sure I'll be back for her services again. Thank you, Kelly!

From booking, to all of my questions during planning, to my trial to my wedding morning everything was seamless. My wedding morning was stress free, my artists were on time and on schedule and showed exceptional attention to detail. I've also had my hair and makeup done by Ashley for my engagement photos and she was awesome too! Can't recommend flawless faces enough!

She was so patient and understanding with all the questions I asked. My sister and I looked absolutely stunning on my wedding day. Ashley even made sure to ask me if I had eaten and warned me once we put lipstick on it will be nonstop after that moment. I would lastly like to say that at one point my sisters eye got watery (not because of product but from a childhood injury), and Ashley was so kind and told her they were going to take a break and do my makeup in the meantime. She made sure to check in on my sister and see how her eye was doing and even offered to make adjustments. Over all she absolutely nailed our hair and makeup. My sister and I are so incredibly happy with how we looked at my wedding.

She is so easy to work with, has great energy, & took my ideas and vision and brought them to life. I also typically don't wear a lot of makeup so when I do, my face gets "irritated" easily (i.e my eyes water a lot, the lashes start to bother me etc.) but that was NOT the case with Elizabeth's work. She started my makeup at 9 a.m. and it still looked beautiful by 11 p.m.!! Same with my hair-everthing stayed in place and secure for the entire day. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be booking in the future. Lastly, her prices are super . Thank you Elizabeth!!

She was incredibly professional, arrived right on time, and came fully prepared with her kit. I can't recommend her enough for any special event.

After our preview- I felt so comfortable to let Kori know what tweaks I wanted. I ended up choosing a different hairstyle from what we trialed and it was better than imagined. So convenient to have her just work on me and then help with touch ups especially after the first look and for family portraits which we did before she had to leave at 1pm. Makeup and hair lasted all day long and I cried a TON! Of course I had to do some touch ups but the glowy base remained all day long. Thank you so much, Kori! Highly recommend investing in and trusting in Kori for your special events

Her Instagram (@rachellegamesbeauty) was also helpful for me to see the previous looks she's created. From the moment I contacted her, she was professional and responsive. Booking with Rachelle was very straightforward, and I especially appreciated her scheduled timetable for her and her team on the wedding day. After meeting her for the make-up trial, I felt like I was talking to an old friend. She has such a warm and bubbly personality, and it made the time with her go by fast. I had given her a Pinterest board of looks, which offered a great starting point that we were able to customize throughout the trial. It was such a fun experience! Each look was beautiful that it was difficult for me to choose the final look! After the trial, she followed-up with me for my decision and to see how my hair and make-up held up throughout the day. It was great to collaborate with Rachelle because she genuinely values your opinion. Fast forward to wedding day, Rachelle and her team delivered! My bridesmaids looked gorgeous. They were all pleased with their final looks, which made me so happy! I had little sleep the night before and was feeling anxious that morning, but Rachelle took the reins! She helped relieve my woes and it was easy to trust her. The final look was beyond stunning and I couldn't have been happier! I received so many compliments throughout the whole day. Even more so, my hair and make-up stayed intact despite the 100 degree weather. There is no question that Rachelle is dedicated and passionate in her craft. I highly recommend her for any occasion!
