    Best Newport spot for hair! Look for Brooke, she's incredible with color. All other stylists tho know what's good!

    I recently started coming to Holiday Salon because the girl who has been cutting and coloring my hair for the past few years moved here. So naturally, I followed her! Amber Peterson is a phenomenal hair stylist - she works wonders with her ability to color, highlight, and transform hair. It truly is a talent. She always gives her honest opinion but always listens to what her customers want. She helps you find the perfect style and/or color to suit you and your appearance. Amber does extraordinary work! As for the Holiday Salon itself, it's convenient location in the heart of Costa Mesa off 17th Street is nice. There's plenty of parking! The salon is very modern and well kept. The staff was friendly and offered me beverages - they made the whole experience wonderful. So if you're looking for a new salon or stylist, I'd highly recommend Amber at Holiday Salon.

    Treat yo self! At Holiday! Warning - parking can be a little crazy on the weekends because Plum is next door and you know how people get with their brunch. I've always managed to find a spot a little deeper in the lot tho. Valet is available on the weekends I believe. This space is uber cute. Love the industrial lighting and the cute hairdryers and brushes in the bathroom. Go see Sarah! She is super sweet/bubbly/cute and definitely knows what she's doing. She's been doing hair almost her whole life, so her passion and creative sense really sparkles when she sits you in her chair. I've never left disappointed. And she is always on time! Hurry... Make an appt! :)

    Just some previews of Amber Dawn Peterson's work!!

    I just started going to Holiday salon but only bc my FAVORITE hairstylist just started working there!! And you're in luck because she is available for new bookings and clients! But hurry up before she is completely booked for the holidays!!! Amber Dawn Peterson is extremely talented from balayage to bobs, she does it all! I can always count on her for a quick and easy pick me up when I feel like I'm in a complete hair rut! She really understands her clients' visions and will go above and beyond to ensure they leave her chair feeling even better about their look than before!! Seriously...request her before it's too late!! You WON'T regret it!

    Beautiful red/brown balayage done by Kassie C. :)

    First time doing balayage and it came out PERFECT! I found out about this place because Kassie happened to walk into the store I work at. I was a bit hesitant to get my balayage done at a salon I've never been to, but the result ended better than expected. Kassie is super nice and reassures perfection even if it might not appear so at the moment. She clarified the color with me multiple times to rid of any miscommunication. In the end, I walked out loving my first balayage and I would highly recommend her! :)

    Kassie Crozer has been doing my hair now for almost a year and she's made my hair the healthiest and most perfect blonde it's ever been! She does amazing color and cuts and the best blow outs ever! I am spoiled now and only let Kassie do my hair almost every week because she's so good and my blow outs last almost the entire week! She also does my hair for photo shoots and events and it's perfect every-time!! I love Holiday Salon as well. It is full of amazing stylists and a great vibe and experience.

I was nervous about doing more chemical work, but the moment I sat in the chair, I felt completely at ease. My stylist, Bonnie, was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to listen to my hair history, and created a plan that not only restored the health of my hair but completely transformed the look. My hair was very uneven and two-toned. Now it's a flawless, bright, blended blonde with no patchiness or damage. The bleaching process was gentle but effective, and my stylist used techniques that left my hair feeling stronger than before. The extensions? GAME. CHANGER. They're seamless, soft, and perfectly color-matched. You literally cannot tell where my hair ends and the extensions begin. The length and volume make me feel like a brand-new person, and the installation was so comfortable and precise. No slipping, no tugging--just perfection. This was hands-down the best hair experience I've ever had. I left the salon feeling like a million bucks--my hair has never looked this good, and I get compliments daily. If you're thinking about a major hair makeover, whether it's color correction, bleach work, or extensions--do it and don't go anywhere else. Highly recommend

I found Bonnie after trying to figure out why I could never get what I wanted. Bonnie was able to provide me with education and a feeling of hope! I was ashamed of my hair and the way it looked and now I feel the exact opposite. Bonnie provides quality hair and a great vibe at her salon. She's positive and uplifting and I can't wait to come back and see her again.

I paid $200 for the trial makeup for hair and makeup. I'm not a traditional bride by any means. I asked for bold, gothic makeup. Which I know, most brides go for natural makeup. I wanted smokey eyes and bold, wine lips. And a flawless, porcelain face. Basically, vampire makeup lol the airbrush makeup really took my interest as well. The shop is laidback, and all of the artists make you feel comfortable. Taylor was my artist. She was very friendly and listened to what I wanted. I asked for goth glam and she delivered. The makeup and hair both came out great. She did airbrush makeup and that was really fun to try out! Wedding day makeup and hair will be $450 on top of the $200 for the trial.

She is great at color matching (she explained why certain colors don't work for me) and very intentional about making sure the look lasts the night without feeling heavy. I also loved my hair and was so happy with the full result. Besides her talent, she is also very kind and approachable and makes you feel so comfortable. Cannot wait to book her again for my next event! 10/10 would recommend.

    DISCLAIMER - This is from a makeup trial in 2020 and wedding in 2021…read more It took me time to get the courage to write this review, because Crystal seems like such a sweet person. However, I don't want anyone else to have an experience similar to mine. First off, I think her makeup skills are amazing and loved her makeup work. She took into consideration my photographer's editing style and how the makeup would show up in the photos. She's also a bubbly person that was very easy to talk to. Makeup Trial in 2020: Makeup turned out great in the photos. It took me a bit to get comfortable with how it looked in person, because I wasn't used to wearing much makeup, but she talked me through everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The makeup still looked great at the end of the night though too - and this is after doing an ocean-side photoshoot. The cons: - She ran 5-10 minutes behind schedule and the trial ended up taking longer than expected due to struggles with my hair; so I had to rush to make it to my engagement shoot. However, I did appreciate how Crystal still took the time to listen and try to correct things. - My hair - I wanted a half up, half down w/ curls hairstyle. In a call beforehand, I had explained to her how my hair has a difficult time keeping curls and that I usually can only get a hold with a straightener. I can't remember if she used a curling wand or a curling iron, but the curls were already falling flat during the trial. By the time of the photo shoot, my hair was lightly wavy. By the end, it got pretty flat. She did offer a discounted retrial to try another technique to see if my hair would hold better. I didn't end up doing a retrial since I had to reschedule my wedding. (Rescheduled) Wedding Day in 2021: I had booked Crystal for makeup for my wedding for myself and my mom. The days beforehand, she mentioned how she was getting vaccinated. Skip forward to the morning of my wedding. I wake up a little over 2 hours before our appointment time, and I notice a text from Crystal that was sent less than 6 hours before our appointment. She says she's so sorry, she's been having chills and nausea and that she's unsure if she can cover and she's reached out to her immediate artists. I don't hear from her again until 1.5 hours before our appointment, she confirms that none of her artists have reached back out to her yet. I'm not sure, but it seems that she became symptomatic because of the vaccination. At that time, it was known that people get side effects from vaccinations, so I thought it was unprofessional to schedule a vaccination right before a booking. It also did not help that Crystal was unable to find a replacement. It was such a stressful morning... In the end, luckily my friend found someone else available to do my makeup and my mom went to a salon.

I would like to say I know a good deal about makeup, but she knows her ***t and knows brides and how to make them feel ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL for their special day. I truly wish I had a reason to get my makeup done every weekend because she's that good. I would recommend her a trillion times infinity times over.

    Where to start? Maybe the very beginning. After my engagement, I started researching vendors. The…read morefirst thing I was looking for is the makeup artist. Most important vendor, right? I checked yelp, insta, and google. I probably checked over 50 makeup artists online. Reviewed their websites over and over. And finally I found Chelsea. Might I say, her website is perfection. Her before and after shots had me SOLD. Dare I say, it was love at first sight? She responded to my email very quickly. Within hours, I had all my questions answered and I had her booked. I had my makeup trial a couple of weeks before the wedding at her in-home studio. Her studio is every girl's dream come true. I think she owns every piece of makeup possible. And talk about studio lighting! I could've spent all day in there just taking selfies. I showed Chelsea my Pinspiration board and she started to do her thing! About an hour later, I came out looking AMAZING. I swear, I'm not vain or anything. Chelsea just did an amazing job. She is the CONTOUR queen. My makeup was done at 11 AM, I went back to work, went to the gym and got home around 10 PM. I looked in the mirror to see what was left on my face and I was shocked to find that EVERYTHING was still on my face. Nothing came off, smudged or shifted. I knew she was the one for me at that moment. The wedding day was even more exciting. Chelsea and her assistant arrived on time, fully prepared. Really important since they had a full day ahead of them. On there schedule was one bride, 5 bridesmaids and even the groom and one groomsman. They certainly had their hands full, but it didn't stress them one bit. The entire time was filled with great conversation and tons of laughs. We had such a great time getting ready with them, I forgot all the stress that I probably should have felt on my wedding day. We made some last minute tweaks on my wedding day look and I didn't even know it was possible, but I looked even better than my trial! Chelsea made me look like a princess. Equally as important, she made my bridal party look bomb.com. Ultimate #squadgoals. My entire bridal party (including me) balled our eyes out during the ceremony. Immediately after the ceremony, the photographer wanted to take bridal party pictures. We all were panicking that we had messed up our makeup. We were all REALLY surprised to find that our faces were still in tact and there were no tear marks on our faces. I had booked Chelsea exclusively for the entire day. I think it is a bridal necessity. She touched up my makeup and made a few dramatic changes for the reception portion. I looked amazing all night and even in the AM. I didn't want to wash my makeup off. I considered keeping it through my wedding brunch but my HUSBAND said I needed to shower :( Guess I'll need to have another wedding so I can get my makeup done all over again!
