Andrea and her team did my bridal party of 13. She came to the venue which was super convenient. Everyone absolutely loved their makeup and loved Andrea. The girls were so nice, accommodating, and quick. Also, the makeup stayed on all night and did not smudge or streak when we cried or sweat. We absolutely love her and her team and definitely recommend her for your next wedding!

Andrea is an amazing hair stylist! Not only did my hair look good, but so did all my bridesmaids. She worked so quickly and we even finished early which is unheard of when it comes to wedding hair. I've been in so many weddings and hair is never finished on time let alone early. She made sure everyone looked perfect and if she didn't like something, she took the time to redo it until she liked it. I would highly recommend Andrea for your next hair stylist need!!

Andrea was so great to work with and calmed my nerves! She paired me up with Luz who was a delight. It was originally going to just be me getting bridal hair done and she ended up styling 6 of us. Everyone loved their hair and she worked efficiently and got us all done on time.

Andrea was absolutely incredible! I was very stressed leading up to my wedding reception, but she eased all of my worries. I showed her a photo of a look she did with one of her previous clients from her Instagram page and not only did she do exactly what I wanted, but it turned out better than expected. I wanted a low bun hairstyle and soft glam/natural look (ill attach a photo). She made me feel so beautiful! I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't believe how much volume and curls she did with me super straight flat hair. We also had a great conversation and I felt like I was laughing and smiling the whole time! 100/10!!

Beautiful bridal makeup by Andrea

I'm an older bride (63) and feel so lucky to have found Andrea to make me look and feel beautiful! She uses many different makeup products and since she is an expert, she knows which ones work best for a variety of people. Andrea is incredibly talented and her Instagram is full of very happy clients. Plus, she is so sweet and personable! We had such a good time together at both my trial and my wedding day. No wonder customers keep bringing her back for all their special occasions!

Ok you guys, Andrea is magic! She is one of the most talented hair and makeup artist I've ever come across! She and her team did the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and me on my wedding day! Everyone looked amazing! My makeup stayed on PERFECTLY all day and night despite a warm day and a lot of dancing. My hair stayed in place and looked natural (my hair is naturally curly and I wanted a smooth beach wave curl... which with the humidity and ocean breeze is hard to accomplish!). Would 100% recommend Andrea and her team if you want to look your best!!

Andrea is such a personable and accommodating hair and make up artist - she truly goes above and beyond. Leading up the wedding she was able to set up a trial for me, utilize a last minute hair piece I bought, recommended a spectacular lip gloss for the day of, and was able to redo my schedule because of so many changes. I was a bit of a needy bride, Andrea was so patient with me and I never felt like I was bothering her despite how busy she is. On my wedding day, we had 11 adult hair & make up, 1 youth, and 2 flower girls. The timing went flawlessly without any hiccups or delays. Her team was professional, but still so fun and sweet! Every person loved their hair and make up. I have coarse, thicker hair and I was worried it would not stay in an updo, however, my hair AND make up lasted from 12PM to 11PM! I felt so beautiful on my special day and my hair & make up turned out better than I could have expected. I highly recommend Unique & Flawless/ Andrea & her team. You will not regret hiring her for your hair and make up needs!

Loved my subtle and soft look.

I got married last Sunday and four days before my wedding my HMUA flaked out on me, I went in to panic mode. Got online and started reading reviews and looking at before and after photos. Unique and Flawless stood out because of how many amazing reviews Andrea had and more importantly her photos showed her talent. I'm an older bride, 45 and then some lol, so I need more help than the 24 year old naturally gorgeous bride with already flawless skin haha. I messaged her for a long shot that she'd even be available on such short notice and she called me within 20 minutes. We talked for a few minutes and all of that panic dissipated, she's the kindest and hardest working woman and she assured me that even though she had three other commitments that weekend she would make it happen because every bride deserves to feel beautiful on her wedding day and does not need any extra stress, so I booked her then and there without a trial. Her and Terri showed up early and set up in our bridal salon and got to work. It's incredible how quickly they work and the magic they do! They started with my bridesmaids and then got to me last so my makeup and hair was as fresh as it could be before the ceremony. It wasn't super hot but it was definitely warm out. I was worried about looking old in the sun and my makeup sweating off, but it didn't. Even after all my crying it stayed put beautifully! My hair looked so pretty and my girls all looked amazing too! Andrea even did my MIL's makeup and she looked stunning. Gotta love that airbrush makeup, it did wonders for all of us! I didn't realize how important having a PROFESSIONAL HMUA was until it was almost too late. I couldn't fathom spending the money for someone else to do my makeup but paid big bucks for a photographer when it dawned on me, what if I look all sweaty and blotchy in all of my wedding photos lol can't have that! I learned a valuable lesson, when it's your big day, feeling beautiful makes you shine the whole day and night through and that is PRICELESS!!! Andrea doesn't even charge as much as some others and I'm so grateful I chose her because she's an absolute professional and loves what she does and it shows in her personality and her work. I promise you will be happy with Andrea and her team, if you're not then maybe you're not a reasonable person lol. One of her reviews that got me was a bride saying how sad she was to take her make up off at the end of the night because of how beautiful she felt and I totally understood that the night of my wedding too. It's magical how she transforms you into the perfect you, not caked on over the top dramatic you, but the natural as can be with a tad of glamorous perfect for your wedding day you! When my husband saw me for the first time he cried and that was sexy as hell to me. If Andrea can help this old lady look stunning enough for her man to shed tears then she can do it for you too! My daughter is having Andrea do her hair and makeup for her Grad pictures next month because she was so happy with how she looked for the wedding. My MIL said it was the most beautiful she's ever looked. My whole wedding party was happy with their hair and makeup and we can't thank Andrea and Terri enough!! If you're reading reviews to find the right HMUA for you that means you're newly engaged so CONGRATULATIONS!! Take my word for it... you will worry about so many details but the most important one is YOU, so hire Andrea and all the worries about how you will look are gone and you will shine like the precious gem you are. Best investment you will make! p.s. I hated the thought of my before photo going up on her site but I realized it was her before and after photos that sold me, so please forgive how terrible I look haha, thankfully she helped to polish me up.

Andrea was friendly, professional, punctual, and an all-around dream to work with! She made everyone in my bridal party look absolutely gorgeous and brought out their natural beauty. From my hair and makeup trial to the actual wedding day, she understood exactly what my vision was and brought it to life flawlessly.

Headshots - with natural hair/makeup from Andrea
Dani W.

First let me say that I have now engaged Andrea three times! Twice for headshots and the third for a charity event. Every time, she has been an absolute professional! Andrea's expertise and passion for what she does is apparent. She explains what she is doing and why (i.e. why using false lashes is great for headshots, they make your eyes "pop") and that photography "washes" you out, so you need to have the makeup a little darker - although in the pictures, you wouldn't notice as she did such a great job of enhancing the natural look I was going for! Andrea had another client prior to me and as she readied for me, I saw her sanitizing everything - she is very good about making sure that she takes care of each and every client! Lastly, for the less than perfect reviews that have been posted here before - let me just say I find it interesting that neither of the other reviewers have posted reviews of a positive nature for other stores or have they had more than 3 max reviews. People who use Yelp as just an outlet for negativity are missing the point. It's for both - giving constructive feedback to organizations/owners who need it as well as for providing kudos to those who provide amazing customer service and go above and beyond - like Andrea!

Katarina K.

Andrea was absolutely wonderful. Her and her team made me, every single one of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my new mother-in-law feel like princesses. And we finished ahead of schedule too, which was amazing! I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone getting married in the San Diego area.

Angel T.

I know this review is so overdue, but I told myself I have to do it no matter what because Andrea is that great! My wedding was on 11/24/2018. One of my best friends recommended Andrea to me, and I immediately made an appointment for a makeup trial. She was so sweet, friendly, and so patient with my requests. She knew exactly what would work the best on me, but she still let me try what I wanted to try first, and after I tried, yes, she was right! On the wedding, she was so professional, showed up ahead of schedule, and she made me feel stress free! I would give her 10 starts if there was an option! I highly recommend her!!!

Alexandra B.

110% recommend. I cannot say enough great things about Andrea and her amazing talent. We did my hair & makeup trial for my sunset engagement photo shoot on the beach and everything photographed so beautifully. As for my wedding day hair & makeup, I truly have never felt more beautiful. Andrea and her girls also did hair & makeup for my 5 bridesmaids, mother, and MIL and everyone looked so perfect! Thank you SO much Unique & Flawless XOXO

Since I had box dye in my hair, he informed me it would be an extra $70 for a color correction. After getting price estimates from other salons, this seemed like a decent price for my budget. I did my research and looked over his website, Yelp reviews, etc. and the photos impressed me and led me to believe he would produce the balayage I wanted. I didn't mind the price for everything I was getting. I sent David photos of how I wanted my hair a few months before I scheduled the appointment. I have been saving up money and planning this treatment for five months which is perhaps why I'm so upset about the original results from my first appointment. When I walked in he briefly welcomed me and then immediately asked me what I wanted done. Since I've been planning this treatment for so long I had a Pinterest album of similar balayages (not to mention he already had the photo in our thread). He took one glance and got started which made me nervous but I trusted him as a professional. Throughout the treatment there was no communication regarding color, length cut, or anything like that. We sat in silence for 80% of my 3 hr. appointment. We made small talk and I asked him about after care, what he was putting in my hair, etc. He curled my hair and when I turned around and saw my hair for the first time I noticed it was WAY lighter than I expected, but I did like it. I left the salon happy. But I never curl my hair so when I saw it natural (wavy/straight), I could see how messy and amateur it looked. There were chunks reaching up to my roots and he basically dyed the bottom half of my hair a rainbow of blonde colors. NOT a balayage. I left a short review on the website and he text me shortly after with a long reply. I sent him photos of how my hair looked and the photo I originally sent him of what I wanted. He offered to fix it for free, so I went back in. Before my appointment he text me to confirm and said "Would be great if you could take down your review," but I'm glad I waited until after the second appointment to review him again. This time the communication was better, however now that a day has passed I see that my hair is still not where I want it to be since he bleached the whole bottom half and effectively made it difficult to achieve a balayage with just toner. I do understand that I did tell David I liked my hair in the salon because at that point I was fed up and wouldn't bother to have him fix it since he already comped this appointment and spent his time fixing it. Overall it looks much better now and is healthy after I cut 4 inches off (which I did to get rid of the dead bleached hair), but I am still going to get it fixed by another hair dresser. Not only that but I asked him for long layers in my hair cut but my hair is all one length. At the end of the day, if you go to David, just make sure you are clear about what you want because otherwise from what I can tell in other reviews he is a good hairdresser.

I'll admit I'm not the easiest client--my hair is extremely coarse, thick, and often damaged, and I'm not always the most punctual.

During the consultation, she told me that my blonde highlights got darker because of "mineral buildups" in my hair from hard water, and she recommended to do a "CPR treatment" following by applying a toner to bring back the blond color (which highlights got darker and more yellow over time). She said that this treatment plan would make my highlights lighter and blonder again. I made the actual appointment, when the proposed treatment was done. After 30 minutes of sitting under the heat with the treatment applied, she washed out the "CPR treatment" 3 times!!!, scrubbing my scalp and later she told me (when I had the skin reaction) that she used a PH 9 shampoo, which is apparently (I'm reading now about it) harsh, and is disruptive to the hair and scalp. Then, she applied the toner, then a leave-in conditioner, that needed to be washed out due to some skin reaction. When she was working on washing it out, she scrubbed my scalp so viguorusly, that I screamed from pain to stop her doing it so harshly. Later in the afternoon, I started to feel an inflammatory type of severe pain on the back of my scalp. It got worse since yesterday and I don't know what really happened to my scalp, skin, tissue, or nerve, but whatever injury happened, it is extremely painful. Regarding the result of the treatment, nothing that promised was achieved, my hair feels like it got a little darker and making my highlights blonder didn't happen. Kayla told me after drying my hair that she was surprised that her treatment plan didn't work on my hair. What is much worse than not achieving the promised result is the severe pain on the back of my scalp.
