    I couldn't wait to write a review for Michelle, she is THE best hair stylist. I had the honor of having her do my bridal hair over the weekend for my wedding in Napa and it was perfect! I had about two different bridal hair trials with other stylists before I found Michelle on her instagram page and I'm SO thankful I found her! She knew exactly what I was asking for even though I wasn't sure what I wanted myself. I changed my hairstyle about 3-5 times throughout our trials up until the actual wedding day and she was so accommodating and understanding. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt 100% confident on my wedding day. She also did the MOG and MOB hairs and the mothers are very particular with their hair and they both loved it! To top it off, all of our hairs held up throughout the day even through standing in the rain for taking pictures. Not only is she a good hair stylist but she is also the sweetest and most lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Michelle for any hair styling and I am definitely going to recommend her for all my future bride friends! Thank you Michelle!!!

    Michelle is fantastic! I was lucky to have her do my hair for both my wedding day and another wedding banquet celebration a few days later. I also had another trial session with her before, and she totally nailed the hairstyles on all 3 days. She is super talented and the end result will be just as great as you hoped for. We did 3 styles together: a half-up hairstyle, a full updo, as well as curls with volume. She will listen to what you want and make any adjustments that you prefer. Beyond her talent, Michelle is professional, punctual, and efficient. On my wedding day she was super prepared with so many little things (even non-hair related), and she stuck around while I was getting dressed to make sure my hair was all in place before I headed to the ceremony. The little things make all the difference and I was grateful to have Michelle there! I would highly recommend her to any future brides, or anyone who needs their hair done for special occasions. You will be in great hands!

    New to reviewing, but I just had my wedding a month ago and am posting reviews for all my wonderful vendors who made my husband and my day so special. Michelle is so easy to work with because she is really looking to provide you with exactly what you want. She has great communication leading up to the day to make sure everyone is on the same page and that you, the bride, do not have to worry. My hair was absolutely perfect on my wedding and held up the whole day!!!... and I mean for over 16 hours!! Having now gone through the process of choosing all my wedding vendors, i understand how very stressful it can be for brides. Going with Michelle for my hair and my bridesmaids' hair was a simple choice. She listens, is accommodating to your needs, and provides the quality and stress free environment every bride is looking for. Don't wait to book her either because her schedule books up fast!!

    I cannot write enough wonderful things about Michelle. She did my wedding hair and 4 bridesmaids' hair. She was absolutely amazing! I loved my initial hair trial updo, but decided I wanted more volume in the front. On the day of, she was able to get exactly what I wanted and my hair turned out amazing. Even better than the trial! It was a windy day and neither mine nor any of my bridesmaids hair got in our faces. My hair lasted in the bun the whole night. Michelle is so sweet and easy to talk to. I will recommend her to everyone! Thanks so much Michelle for making us look fantastic :)

    Michelle is so talented! She did my hair last weekend for my wedding, along with hair for two bridesmaids, my mother and the groom's mother. Everyone loved the way their hair turned out! We did a trial a few months in advance and Michelle worked off a picture I had seen on Pinterest. She completely nailed it, in fact I think I liked it even better than the picture! The other ladies felt the same way. Everyone felt beautiful and the looks lasted all day and evening without any issue. Michelle is also a delight to work with! We all enjoyed chatting with her and she was very organized and communicative leading up to the day. Her prices are also very reasonable. I highly recommend Pins & Curls!

    loved my hair - looked so good with the highlights too!

    Michelle is hands-down an amazing hair stylist. She is so versatile and works with you to create the look that you envision (or even if you just have a rough idea!); you can see the range of styles that she's done on Yelp, Facebook, and her website. And to top it all off, she is such a sweetheart! She did my wedding hair trial and wedding day hair. Not to brag, but she made my hair look SO GOOD. Starting with my first email communication with her, I knew that she'd be wonderful to work with. She was always available to answer any of my questions, even before I decided to work with her officially. And once I booked her, I never looked back. At my trial, we tried 2 different hair styles based on my different photo inspirations. One of them didn't feel like me. I liked the other one however, I really felt that we needed some adjustments in volume to make it work on the wedding day. I chatted with Michelle about all my concerns, and she was so great at assuring me that she'll make some additional changes and allot extra time on my wedding day to ensure that we get it right. Michelle is also extremely organized, for all those brides (like myself) that love having everything about the scheduled nail down to the minute! About 3 or 4 weeks before the wedding, she reached out to me and Julie Dy (my makeup artist) to start coming up with a hair and makeup schedule since we had 7 women total (including me). She also was thoughtful to leave some time in between each of the women so that we'd still be ok on time even if we ran over a bit. Day of the wedding, she and her assistant, Danielle, arrived a bit earlier to prep, and the rest of the day went off without a hitch! All those concerns I had from my trial? All out the window! Michelle addressed all my feedback and then more. And she sure has many tricks up her sleeve to make sure that the hair and the volume that it had maintain all day (even with lots of dancing)! My hair still looked intact the next morning (I was so tired that night that I fell asleep in my hair do ;)), and I got a free glamorous wavy look once I took out all the bobby pins! Plus, all my bridesmaids' hair looked amazing as well!!! I really admire when people are 1) great at what they do and 2) genuinely nice, and Michelle is both of those. My family and bridesmaids had such a great time prepping and making conversation with Michelle and Danielle. Even though we had to wake up a bit early, we had so much fun and it made the time fly by. I'd recommend Pins & Curls to any bride or even just for special occasion hair! THANK YOU SO MUCH MICHELLE! YOU'RE THE BEST!

    Updo- this was 7 hours after she did the hair!!

    Michelle was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. From when I initially reached out to her, she was prompt in replying and always available for questions. She was open to changes in schedule up to the week of the wedding! We did a trial together which was great- I showed her two styles from Pinterest and she pulled them off almost identically. Since I live far away I was hoping to not do a trial but ultimately am very glad that I did - to get to meet Michelle ahead of time but also because trying out hairstyles on your own hair is helpful before the wedding day- what looks good in a picture doesn't always look the same on you, so I am glad I did the trial in the end. All of my bridesmaids also showed her pictures the morning of and were wowed by how amazingly on point the styles were compared to the pictures they showed. We had our hair done around 10am and it lasted until past midnight without needing any touch ups. Price wise she was very reasonable compared to other Bay Area hair stylists and for the quality and fact that she can travel to you, was a great deal. Would highly recommend Michelle and would book her again in a heartbeat!!

I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
