Briana did my makeup and hair trial for my wedding. She is so sweet and listens very intently to what you want. She worked on my long hair and made it into a messy up-so. Came out exactly what I wanted! Then she took the time to listen to what I wanted for my wedding makeup. I showed pictures as to what I want and she did exactly what I expected. Trial took about 2.5 hours for both and I couldn't be anymore happier! I scheduled a cut with Briana since I knew I wanted a cut before the big day. I felt my hair become really heavy and it was hard to dry. I'm glad Briana was able to squeeze me into her busy schedule the weekend of the Marine Corp Ball. Briana did a wash, cut and blow dry. If you are a first time client you get $10 off your first service. Briana is also an educator for Big Sexy Hair and is very knowledgable with hair and makeup. I did ask about various makeup and she was able to provide some great recommendations. I found my new hair stylist! read more

LevelUp Artistry - Cut 3+ inches with layers and volume! LOVE!!! - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Diego, California

Briana is great at her job! I needed some lightening and brightening and stopped in for some help. I had a personal friend recommend Briana and I am really happy I listened! Briana is very friendly and able to carry on a good conversation, but also knows when to just get to work and let me read my magazine! She did a great job with my cut and color - even my hubs commented on it when I got home and he never notices anything! She is currently in the Bella Tosca salon and spa - great location, easy parking which they validate and you can even order a glass of wine from room service. It did take 3+ hours for my shoulder length hair for partial, deep conditioning treatment and cut, so she isn't going to speed through and leave any mistakes. I am really happy with the results and appreciate she was willing to book the appt via email. Very happy that I found her! read more

Briana did my hair and makeup for my wedding a few weeks ago and she did such a phenomenal job. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the day. Briana was very communicative with me before my appointment which I really appreciated. She helped me pick the best hairstyle that suited my dress. read more

I was long overdue for a new look. I usually get my haircut by a local barber. This time I wanted to try something new. A client of mine highly recommended Briana Hernandez to get my hair styled. I called and was able to setup an appointment that fit my schedule. Her location is situated near Fashion Valley mall in the Town and Country Hotel complex. It can be a little bit confusing to find since there are no signs directing to the salon. Parking wasn't a problem when you're in the complex. Since my hair is thinning I wanted a hair style that hides my scalp. She recommended that I go with a razor cut to create layers in my hair. Briana was very inviting and full of energy. I was amazed with the end result. The new hairstyle allowed me to style my hair with paste while hiding my scalp. Also, at the end of your visit make sure to get your parking validated. If you're looking to upgrade your style I would highly recommend Briana Hernandez. She definitely has a "third eye for style". read more

I have been a client of Briana's for many years now and I will follow her anywhere she goes because she is the BEST! I am VERY particular about the way my hair is cut and she always hits it out of the park. I travel a lot for work and have occasionally had to get my cut elsewhere but always regret is when I see the lack of detail. Briana takes pride in her work and makes sure I leave the salon completely happy. So if you are looking for a stylist that truly care about delivering the looks you want/need, Briana Hernandez is the only choice in San Diego! read more

I am a new mommy and don't have much time on my hands these days. But after I had my son my hair changed... a lot! It became coarse and was doing this weird wave! My friend recommended I get a Brazilian Blowout by Briana because she had gone to many different places and she was the best. I was a bit hesitant at first but let me tell you that I should have gone A LOT sooner! The end result was beautiful! I am in love. I have to also mention how sweet Briana is. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable! Make sure you call way ahead of time if possible because from the looks of it she is always crazy busy and I can see why! I will definitely be coming back and make sure I tell everyone I know how amazing and talented Briana truly is. read more

I hired Brianna to do my girlfriend's make up for a birthday party we were throwing her. All of our friends pitched in to pay for her make up and a boudoir photo shoot. It was a huge success. Brianna made my friend"s make up look so natural and with just the right contouring for a daytime look. My friend felt so beautiful and confident and therefore posed for gorgeous pictures. Brianna was prompt, professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable about how to flatter a woman's face at any age. We will be calling her again soon for our next special event! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER! Brianna was referred to me by a friend who was in a bridal party recently. I had seen the hair and makeup for the wedding and thought all the ladies looked gorgeous. read more

I had my wedding just this past weekend and was lucky enough to have Briana as my artist. She is competent, efficient and an all-around cool woman. She listened to my concerns (I have rosacea) and did an excellent job with my makeup and hair. While talking to her I felt that she truly knew what she was doing and was able to relax. She also did my sister and bridesmaids hair/makeup and we all looked stunning. I was impressed because we're all very different "looks" but she was great at working with each of us. We didn't look the same...we looked our best for our skin/hair type. My now brother in law said that when they first saw me that I looked like I was walking off the pages of a bridal magazine. Most importantly to me...the makeup and hair held up throughout the event. It was a hot day (low 90's in San Diego!!) and we made it through the night looking great. I truly enjoyed working with her and hope to use her again if I have the opportunity. Thank you Briana!! read more
