Prom Make-up
Marianela R.

Maribel did my makeup for my prom. It was amazing. All my friends complimented me on it. She did it exactly how I wanted it. She gave me suggestions on how to apply my makeup and listened to my concerns. Also, I really liked that she was constantly sanitizing her hands because I am a germophobic. I highly recommend her.

Thank You, Maribel. I loved my Dapper Day look!
Sabrina R.

I have no idea where to start! I found Maribel through the Yelp community and I'm so happy I got in touch with her. I contacted her about doing my makeup for an upcoming event at Disneyland (Dapper Day) and explained to her that I was looking for a classy pin up look for the day. We communicated through email, which is perfect for me because I'm always on the go, and even through her emails I could feel that she really cared. I was nervous about getting my makeup and hair done by a professional because my confidence has never been too up there and I was feeling intimidated by all the things I thought could go wrong or that she would take one look at me and send me away *laugh* Boy, was I wrong! Maribel was fantastic right from the start. Not once did I feel unwelcome or put off. She was a complete sweetheart who made sure I was comfortable and was very patient with me. I was able to talk with her freely and even when I would twitch while she was applying makeup (my face was fighting it) she never once got frustrated. My hair was done by Tina and she was just as Fantastic! They both kept the atmosphere friendly, humorous and exciting. They worked together in perfect sync and had me randomly laughing or throwing my two cents into their conversations. They even threw a few jokes at my boyfriend, who came with me, and had him smiling all the way. When all was finished, I could not believe the girl staring back at me. I have never been good at taking compliments so all I could do was comment short sentences on my look..but I truly loved it! I felt beautiful and after I left I kept getting compliments on my makeup and my hair all day. The best part was that, through heavy sun, sweating, enjoying rides and eating, my makeup and hair stayed put and I never had to retouch once. I've only ever put makeup on myself how ever I could and watching Maribel work made me realize just how much more there was to it and just how beautiful and graceful the art of makeup really is. Maribel is an amazing artist whom I was proud to have work on me. I look forward to booking her again for any of my future events.

My hair stayed put the whole day even after an outfit change! Thanks Tina!

I used Maribel's team for two events of my Indian wedding and was so happy with their work. They also did hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone was super happy with their look. I was especially happy that they were able to please my mom because she is very specific about what she wants and doesn't wear a lot of makeup. She loved what Tina did for her hair and makeup and she looked gorgeous as did everyone in the wedding party. All of the artists really listened to what each girl wanted for their look. They were very professional, punctual and flexible. Also, I think this was a great value compared to other vendors I looked at. I highly recommend them and would use them again for sure!

Maribel (MUA) did my makeup for a fashion show last year in November. She is great. She caters to your wants and needs. I didn't have anything in mind so I told her she could do what she wanted and in the end I loved it. :) Very friendly and makes you feel comfortable. I would definitely like to work with her again. Picture added :)

My amazing makeup trial! THANK YOU MARIBEL!!!

But when he asked me what hair cut I wanted and showed him a picture of a burst fade Mohawk and he proceeded to ask have you had this haircut before. Then I showed him a picture of me with the haircut I wanted (which was a burst fade Mohawk) and he proceeded to say "is that really you". This was at the beginning of the hair cut. Mid way he asked a second time if I had ever had this hair cut before which I answered yes. Also at the beginning he had mentioned how much are we taking off the top. I mentioned just a little bit and we can work our way down. When it came to cutting the top I feel he had gone too low. At that point I just wanted to get out of the chair. I waited 2 days to post this just to see if my hair needed to settle in since I went from a wild lions mane to what ever this short hair cut I have now. But no matter how much I attempt to style my hair it just looks dumb. My feedback to Hin is if you aren't confident in cutting someone's hair then please just say so. Or if your specialty is clean cuts then tell your client so they can make the decision of sitting in the chair. I may come back to try with someone else to cut my hair since I feel the people here have some skill.

At my appointment, Kaz started with a wash and then spent a solid 40-60 minutes on the cut. He's super detailed. It felt like he was paying attention to every single strand. I love how it turned out.!!! After washing, my hair just falls into place naturally. I barely have to style it...just brush and go. I travel a frequently so I didn't get back for about three months, but my hair still held up and looked good. Definitely recommend Kaz.

Yuji was my hairdresser, and he was so kind, precise, and skilled with my haircut. When I first walked in, I thought, "ah this really is a no frills hair salon," and I'll admit I was a little nervous since it was my first time and I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I sat down, my nerves went away. Yuji was so gentle and attentive, and I felt really well taken care of. My appointment lasted about an hour and included a wash and cut. Parking is validated for up to two hours, which is definitely enough time. I was so happy with my results. I truly don't know how Yuji creates such magic with his hands! I'll be coming here from now on for my haircuts. Please show Yuji and Hair Craft your support by leaving a generous tip. An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!!

As soon as I arrived, I was warmly greeted and given a locker to securely store my belongings, which I really appreciated. I was then promptly taken for a relaxing hair wash before being seated at my station to have my hair dried. Throughout the visit, the attention to detail stood out--there was a variety of complimentary drinks offered along with a small cookie, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. Kyunghee took the time to listen to what I wanted. I asked for curtain bangs and long layers, and she absolutely delivered. The cut was exactly to my liking--soft, flattering, and very well balanced. After styling my hair, she came back to do a final trim and made sure to check in to see if I was completely satisfied, which made me feel really cared for as a client. Overall, the service felt elevated, professional, and personal. I left feeling confident and happy with my hair, and I will definitely be back again soon!

I originally went in just for a haircut, but I told Michaela(Master Director) that what I really…read morewanted was a low maintenance hairstyle and also a fresh new look for the new year. As a working mom, I honestly don't have time to do my hair and most days it ends up in a ponytail or bun. She completely understood what I wanted and recommended a number of good options. I ended up with c-curl perm along with a cut and straightening and I am so glad I trusted her. What was supposed to be about a hour long haircut turned into almost three hour appointment and she stayed late to make sure everything was done perfectly. I was so grateful for that. I came in with messy, flat hair and just needed help. I asked for her recommendation and she absolutely delivered. Micheala is so talented, experienced, personable and professional. She gave me a hairstyle that is easy to maintain everyday but still look glamorous and honestly feel like I look 5 years younger. And I kid you not this is the first time my husband has noticed and complimented my hair. That alone says everything. What a fitting name: Theodora Har Salon, truly a "gift of God." I feel so blessed to have found this place. Highly recommend and definitely ask for Michaela!

It was my very first time with The Hideout Salon and not only was he understanding of any scheduling rearrangements we had to make, he also made sure to make it a point that we would be setting enough time aside for what we would anticipate needing so that when the time came, there would be zero rush along with top quality service which makes a huge difference in customer experience compared to factory booking which sacrifices quality, time, and attentiveness for squeezing in numbers, and as clients we all greatly appreciate this! While I was waiting Allie was very sweet and settled me in/welcomed me and offered me something to drink. The decor of the place felt very cozy and cute. If youre a dog lover you'll also be very happy to probably see a friendly cute Lil doggo named Carl (Karl?) comfortably shimmying his way around the shop (and if youre scared of dogs dont worry, he really just does his own thing Lol). Hes So darn cute and floofy. I came in for both a color and a consultation for a potential cut. Because I sometimes tend to notice/look at details that others may want to gloss over or perceive as me overanalyzing, it felt really difficult for me to explain to others how my recent haircut from another place just a month or two ago had specific lengths and cuts in specific areas going around my whole hair that had left my previous haircut feeling kind of "off" in certain ways and that I felt was giving my hair the very slight illusion of looking shorter than it actually really was and a little "choppy" in some areas, which then had an effect on how it framed my face/widened it instead of helping elongate it. But when I explained it to Daniel, he totally got it and even held up the individual sections that he agreed were causing those effects, why it was creating the effect that it was and how we would resolve it. I was so happy that he not only truly acknowledges and makes it important to understand where his clients are coming from (whether its concerns or goals etc) but that he also has such skill and knowledge to be able to fully do so and hit the nails right on the head. The color was also beautiful as well and because I wanted something that was healthier than permanent that would also give my hair a healthier appearance (ie shine, softness, gloss etc) he recommended the demi and also mentioned that it would make it easier down the road for me to go lighter if I ever wanted to. The color blended and matched so well with the rest of my hair and everything from the cut to the color made me feel like all of my goals were achieved. Everything Daniel did with my hair left me feeling so *Bonita*, and he was just such a joy to work with and an awesome person all around. Thank you Daniel for this lovely experience :) -------------------------------- Parking: Since the salon is in the heart of Downtown, its best to try and arrive a bit earlier than your appointment time and to be prepared for alot of one way streets and quickly turning into the available open public parking lots closeby before passing the salon (to avoid having to go further down in a circle to get back to the parking again). I believe there are 2 or 3 lots before you pull up to the salon that have big signs that say public parking. If youre driving towards the direction of the salon, out of the 3 the first one youll pass is just self-service/pay which was the one I parked in, and the other two have attendants as you pull up to the salon. Im not sure if both of those allow open access to all, so i will find out the next time I go again :) The front of the salon itself can be very easy to miss so just make sure to park before you even pass it on your GPS and youll see a small little sign over a door that says the Hideout salon when you walk up. There will be a door code for you to enter so just ask the salon for the door code in advance so that youre all set to go when you get there as well :)

It's a gorgeous setting and the entire team is incredibly warm and welcoming. Service: Daniel Apodaca is an exceptional talent. I went in for a brunette colour correction that took almost five hours, and every single minute was worth it. I trusted his judgement, his suggestions, and his overall vision for my hair, and I'm so glad I did. This is the first time in my life I've walked out of a hair appointment with my expectations truly exceeded. I left The Hideout completely blown away by the results and didn't feel the need to tweak, adjust, or "fix" anything afterward, which is rare. Even the blow-dry/silk press combo lasted a full week. Daniel is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. I've absolutely found my stylist and will 100% be back.
