Hands down one of the BEST hair and makeup experiences we've ever had! From start to finish, our experience at Thomas Edwards Salon in Temecula was flawless. We shared our inspiration photos for both hair and makeup, and Alena and Mercedes absolutely brought our vision to life--with a level of care, artistry, and professionalism that exceeded all expectations. Alena, who did our hair, was simply phenomenal. She carefully walked through the inspo photos we provided and made thoughtful suggestions based on our face shapes and event needs. I told her I wanted volume at the crown, but still needed a style that would hold all night long--and wow, did she deliver. My hair stayed perfectly in place for 12+ hours, with lightweight hairspray that didn't feel stiff and a secure yet gentle hold using bobby pins. Alena's approach was kind, open, and collaborative, and her execution was perfection. I truly felt beautiful and comfortable the entire night. Mercedes, who did our makeup, was equally amazing. She matched our references exactly--giving my daughter a fresh, natural glow, and giving me a smoky glam look with a subtle shadow wing that was elegant and dramatic without being overdone. She even added a touch of body oil on exposed areas for that extra touch of radiance! Her attention to detail and commitment to making us feel confident and camera-ready was incredible. The reviews were right--these ladies are magic. I live in San Diego, and I will happily make the drive back to Temecula for my next event. Yes--even if it means going all the way back to downtown SD. They are that good. And a big thank you to Brenda for setting us up with these two gems! You've got a dream team at Thomas Edwards Salon, and we're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

I found Thomas Edward Salon on Yelp after looking for a solid dry bar style service in Temecula. I recently moved from LA and was spoiled. There was always a Dry Bar nearby home or my office. It was predictable and dependable for special occasions and weekly blow outs as I'm terrible at doing my hair. I asked around everywhere online, FB Mom's groups. I guess it's not common here like it is in LA. Anyways, had a quick chat on Yelp with the salon and booked an appointment for a blow out and makeup for my outdoor maternity photo shoot. Michele did both my hair and makeup for me. She was excellent. She needed little direction from me at all. She knew exactly what I wanted and executed perfectly. She's great! I was impressed. I will definitely return. As a newbie to the area, I didn't know but if you come here on a Saturday be prepared to park far away at City Hall and walk over. Not a big deal unless you're 8 months pregnant and hot! It's located right in the heart of Old Town and the tourists pour in here! Lesson learned. Give yourself extra time! Thank you for a wonderful experience, Michele. read more

I guess they are out of business. They will not respond to my multiple attempts to contact them, and I have several prepaid blowouts.

I absolutely RECCOMMENDED services at Thomas Edwards salon and dry bar. The owner is so accommodating and pleasant. She takes personal attention if you happen to reach her for appointments and always works around my schedule to give me what is best for me Michelle , who has worked on my hair doing fabulous blowouts is also very good at what she does listens to all my concerns and wishes shows up extra early just for me when neededand does a fabulous job. I must say I'm very picky and I want my hair just a certain way and she's very willing to listen and adjust to my wishes. My hair is very long and it doesn't curl very well unless you take the time and attention. Overall, everyone in the salon that I have met is very pleasant very professional. They know their craft and they are very accommodating. If you have a special occasion or a wedding or just want to treat yourself, I highly recommend! As a matter of fact, having a. pre-scheduled blowout regularly is quite nice! I have done it! read more

Love Love this hidden gem. Was visiting from out of town and decided to see if I can get my hair fixed from a previous hairstylist disaster. My bangs were not even and it wasn't the choppy haircut I wanted. I was sat down with Mishelle, I showed her exactly what I wanted. Let's just say I left looking and feeling sexy and sassy!! Thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! I would definitely make the drive back to get my hair done by Mishelle again. read more

I love this Salon, from the moment you walk in you feel welcome. Brenda, the owner was there and could not have been nicer or more welcoming. I went for a makeover by Michelle. She is amazing. She has to be one of the best in the business. I also set an appointment to return for a new hairstyle.. I can't wait. If you want personal attention to detail, this is the Salon for you. read more

Jen, you are an absolute rockstar. I haven't had my hair done in literally years. I had been box dying at home (I know, cringe) and wasn't getting haircuts often. There's always this mom guilt when I spend money on myself. After seeing Jen Camacho's Instagram page (@fabhairbyjen), I knew I needed her touch. I'm huge on who you let do your hair, I feel like it's such a huge energy transfer but I felt good about this. My hair was long and stringy, dyed black from the box dye. I was greeted by a beautiful smile from Jen, she was glowing. She was so gentle the entire time, didn't rush AT ALL. Her nails felt amazing when she was washing my hair, by the way. She was open about everything she was doing to my hair. I was offered a water, coffee or mimosa. I got a mimosa, followed by a coffee and amazing cookie to dip in it. The conversation the entire time was amazing, so full of love and genuine kindness. Lots of laughs and smiles! My hair came out absolutely perfect, I did choke up quite a bit, the complete transformation left me and awe. I couldn't believe it was actually me. I couldn't recommend her enough. I can't wait for my touch ups. read more

I visited this salon to get a blowout while I was in town for a wedding. The location was a little bit difficult to find as it was on the second floor of a gift shop type building. The inside is pretty small, only about 5 workstations and two shampoo bowls. It does have a cute, western small town feel to it though. The price was pretty reasonable and it was easy to make an appointment over the phone. During your service they offer coffee, tea, water or mimosas. They also have some small snacks in the waiting area.  Christine did my blowout for me and it looked great. She was super friendly and recommended some places for me to check out while I was in town. My hair stayed curled all night and even for the next couple days.  If you're looking for a beautiful, pampered style this is your go to spot! read more

Hannah and Mishelle did a beautiful job with blow out and makeup for me and my mother-in-law for my niece's wedding. We relaxed with mimosa and coffee.

I was in town for a wedding and decided that I would have my hair done in an updo given the heat of the day. I made the appointment from my home in KY. Michelle was my stylist and she did a fabulous job! I went into the session blindly and did not have any particular style in mind. Thus, Michelle and I talked about the look I was going for and she delivered. My main concern was that the updo would hold and it did! We were at the event for 7 hours and not a hair fell out of place. Michelle was also a delight to work with and I highly recommend her if you need a stylist while in Temecula. read more

I tried this place and was lucky my stylist was Jen Fonseca. She was friendly and took the time to look at my hair and to discuss what I wanted. She listened to me and my hair came out fantastic, especially the highlights, I am very happy and would recommend this place and Jen to everyone. read more

I visited the Thomas Edward Salon & Dry Bar in November for a Bellini updo. This was my first-ever dry bar experience. Positives: 1) The salon was able to squeeze me in for a last minute appointment. 2) My stylist was kind and easy to chat with. 3) The stylist made sure to ask me about any allergies or product restrictions before starting, and educated me about each product that she used. 4) The end result was beautiful and elegant. Negatives: 1) When the stylist turned me around for the "ta da" moment, she had given me the Sophia Rose, not the Bellini, which I had specified multiple times. She was able to fix it, but my appointment ended up lasting 75 minutes, which caused me to be late for the wedding I was attending. 2) The website says that there is an "additional fee" for the Bellini, but what it does not say is that the fee is a 70% markup. Given that a standard blowout is $38, it was quite the shock to hear my total come out to over $60 (before tip!). read more

Had an amazing experience with the ladies working at this salon! From happy conversation to being offered mimosas during our bridesmaid hair and makeup appointment. It was a wonderful, fun experience. I came in with unwashed hair and they washed for me before doing my hair. Me and my friends loved our hair and makeup afterwards. Helped a lot in having the confidence we needed for my friend's wedding photoshoot. I definitely recommend this lovely spot. read more

The Thomas Edward Salon and Dry Bar was the perfect place to get my hair and makeup prior to my wedding. I didn't have a wedding party so it was just my mom and I. I read many positive reviews and called to speak with Brenda. She was very warm and helpful. Brenda explained the process of a trial, the wedding day and additional things I should do to prepare. I arrived one month prior to the wedding and met with Michelle for my hair and makeup trail. I showed Michelle some picture of hair styles and makeup I liked. We discussed some options and, in the end, she created the perfect look. It was hard to believe that my hair and makeup could look better but it did on the day of the wedding. Michelle created the exact look I wanted. My Mother was extremely happy with how her hair and makeup turned out too. I highly recommend the Thomas Edward Salon & Dray Bar! read more

My before & afters, Jennifer did an amazing job with my hair! Which was pretty damaged because of the box dye I'd used on it. It came out beautifully! My hair felt and looked amazing !! And didn't break the bank!!! We went over everything that was going to be done to my hair and didn't deviate from that like a lot of salons do, she gave me great advice on how to get/ keep my hair back to healthy! I refer everyone I know to Jennifer! She is 10/10 the best! read more

Since I've been coming here for several years now I thought I should update my review. Had a great Blow Dry today with Alena. She is really friendly and is a pro at styling. Highly recommend this salon for special occasions, or for when you just want to have great hair. The online appointment scheduling is super convenient. I'm recovering from surgery and having the ability to get a great Blow Dry any time is priceless. read more

Best blow out ever by Alena for my maternity shoot! Thank you so much! Can't wait for the photos after!!!!!!!!!

I love this place because I found my hairstylist here and I love her so much. She does such a great job!! Her name is Jennifer and I have an appointment with her to go all blonde this July and I'm super excited because it will be my first time going all blonde. Can't wait to see you Jenn!! Thanks again! read more

I am very special about who cuts my hair, my normal stylist wasn't getting back to me and I was in desperate need of a cut. I reached out to Jenn and she immediately booked me, that same day of my appointment I reached out and asked if she would be able to cut my daughter's hair and she said yes! She cut my hair to perfection, not too long not too short. I'm loving the length. My daughter requested a very short style and Jenn went above and beyond to please both of us, now my daughter won't let anyone but Jenn cut her hair (Jenn you're stick with us for awhile lol) We highly recommend Jenn for all your hair needs! read more

Went in for a blowout for a Christmas party. Hayley totally revived my hair. Curls are still holding even the next day.

I went in for a blow dry with a deep conditioning treatment. Usually anyone can do this so I accepted the hairdresser Jennifer who had grown out roots and very greasy looking hair. She gave me a incomplete blowdry that did not straighten my baby hairs in front and left my hair looking frizzy and she put a ton of different cheap products in my hair so I walked out smelling like I sprayed on a bunch of perfume from the dollar store. When I paid on the way out, Jennifer said her blow dry price starts at 55 and her deep conditioner add on starts at $90. So my bill was $145 for a simple incomplete blow dry and deep conditioner with the cheapest products in a cheap salon. Then I called the salon to speak to the salon owner about Jennifer pulling a fast one on me bc she knew I was an out of towner from NYC and the owner never called back. I get my hair blow dryed weekly and Jennifer is the worst stylist I've seen anywhere in the country. Thomas Edward Salon is very unprofessional and a dirty salon with cheap products. They sell the Moroccan Oil line which is just okay, but they use the cheapest products for in salon services and have the least experienced and dishonest hairdressers. read more

I had made an appt on line for 10 am Sunday. I arrived at 955 and my stylist Stephanie did not arrive until 1020! She did not apologize and was sarcastic. Needless to say I did not get my haircut and was standing alone in the salon for over 20 minutes, I could have robbed the place! Very poor customer service! ... still mad! read more

This is a review for the bridal hair services...well, an attempt to get them. I reached out by email in November for a quote for myself and my bridal party for my September wedding, knowing that stylists book up quickly. At first, my correspondence with the Creative Director, Brenda, was fast, friendly and efficient. Then, when we got to drafting the contract, things came to grinding halt. I was constantly emailing, asking for a status update. I would be promised that I would be called "the next day" (never happened) or "emailed the contract by so-and-so date" (came 2 weeks late several times). I also had to go through several revisions of the contract because there was always a mistake in price--I would even forward the very email with the quote the Creative Director supplied me, and also copy and pasted into an email with a suggestion to just copy and paste into the contract--but still mistakes! This back-and-forth extended into January--3 months after my initial outreach. I did not feel confident in the business-end of this transaction, and I even felt worried that if things were this scattered now, would my date even be remembered? The prices are very low for typical bridal hair services, but maybe there's a reason for that. I was disappointed with my experience and just wanted to give other brides a heads up. read more

I have never ever been more happy with my hair before!! I'm usually never satisfied with my haircuts, but Dawn rocked it!! It seriously took me over 4 years to find a stylist that knows what I want!! I'm more than happy & will definitely return! Dawn is not just very talented, but also a sweetheart. I was at the salon for over 3 hours and there was not one awkward moment! Just a lot of chit char I never write any reviews on yelp, but Dawn deserves one!! Thank you!! :) read more

Ellie was my stylist for hair and make-up for my wedding on New Years Eve. Small wedding, older bride and needed some magic to make me still feel beautiful.

I'm not embarrassed by these pics! read more
