Dezi has been my hairstylist and go to hair and makeup artist for photo and film shoots for the past 5 years. When it came time to start planning my wedding, there was no way I could step out onto that aisle without having Dezi make sure I would look as beautiful as possible. I wanted an old Hollywood glam hairstyle with a bold red lip and the magic Dezi made happen was more than I could have ever hoped for. I felt like an absolute princess, beyond confident and just so ready to marry my best friend. I also had 8 bridesmaids who looked just as gorgeous with her and her stylists help. To top it all off, I of course had to invite Dezi to the actual wedding to enjoy the festivities. It was outdoors and really hot so she made sure throughout the night that I looked my best even if I didn't ask her to. If you're looking for a top of the line hair and makeup artist for your next event, shoot, wedding, etc, I 100% recommend Dezi. She is professional, punctual, funny, sweet and super creative. You can throw any challenge her way and she'll nail it. Thanks Dezi for everything, my wedding wouldn't have been the same without you there !!!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience at this salon today. I come here because Norma has been cutting my hair for years and she always does an amazing job. I always leave with a huge smile on my face. When my hair looks great, I feel great! Thank you again Norma. The inside of this salon is very professional and clean. There is a beautiful view out the second story windows. The outside appears to be medical offices, however many businesses in this building are now salon or beauty related. Parking is wonderful. There is a large private lot with plenty of open spots. I will happily return here again soon. read more

Wow is right! The wow staff is creative, precise, kind and quick. I have been going to Norma for years now. And I have given her some incredible challenges. She's taken my hair through a rainbow of colors and does it perfectly Every time. While her color techniques are absolutely beautiful, her extensions are her specialty. I've had peek-a-boo blue and fire engine red sown into my jet black hair and it looks amazing! And it last FOREVER! The entire staff takes pride in this business and don't let you leave until you're completely satisfied and feeling sexy! read more

Beauty Collective - Norma making me beautiful for the crazy weekend ahead - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

Dezi is both charming and talented. My late night Groupon shopping had lead me to a stylist in North Park that made me look like I dipped the bottom of my hair in brassy orange as a style choice. It was awful, but most friends were too polite to tell me. My bff wasn't. Not only did she flat out say I need to fix the orange - she referred me to her stylist. Dezi was able to restore enhanced natural looking hair in 3.5 hours. Her patience and skills helped me transform from an Oompa Loompa relative to someone from a Pantene commercial. read more

Omg. I think the best decision I ever made when it came to my wedding was hiring Dezi to do my hair and make up. It was a little nerve wracking since I am coming from out of town. Did my hair and make up trial the day before of my wedding with no idea what the hell I wanted. I had an idea with my hair. Showed her pics. With my make up I just said I want to look natural. I dont want to look to overdone since I dont wear make up regularly. She delivered. I mean, I didnt recognize myself. In a good way. Thank you sooooo much Dezi. I asked my husband btw how old he thinks Dezi is, he said 26. (I'm not revealing her age here). But all I can say is if your make up artist looks so much younger than her age, then you are on the right track. Lol read more

Beauty Collective - My hair and make up was amazing. Thank you Dezi. I didnt want to look too overdone... I didnt... love her. I wish i live closer. - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Diego, California

Its my first time ever doing Make up on my face and I was really nervous if it would actually look good on me and DEZI helped me out so much! I booked it a month earlier cause I didn't want to have any trouble and I started messaging Dezi at that time too. I didn't know how to do my hair for the ball im going and she suggested that I'd go to pinterest and check it out. Going there today was a life experience! Dezi was so hospitable and nice. She did my hair and makeup. She didn't make me feel awkward. We talked for the whole two hours as she did my makeup and also taught me how to maintain it and clean it after. I love my experience with her. This place is a 10/10! read more

Natalie and Dezi did the hair & makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. They did an amazing job- we all got so many compliments throughout the evening. The airbrush makeup lasted all night. They were a joy to hang out with as the girls all got ready and helped make getting ready enjoyable. Natalie did my hair & makeup trial and then worked with me leading up to the wedding to figure out what would work best for each of my bridesmaids and then myself. I changed my hairstyle from the trial (decided I didn't want it fully up) and she did an amazing job! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Love love love this salon. Haydee is awesome! I had an emergency with my hair and she squeezed me right in. They are super friendly and make you feel so welcoming. I found them through yelp when I put extensions into my hair for the first time and Haydee was super helpful with any questions I had. I was very nervous they would be noticeable since my natural hair is barely reaching my shoulders but she assured me that the type of extensions I was getting would blend right in. She was right. Definitely my go to salon from now on. read more

Dezi is beyond talented with hair and make up. I went to her for my bridal hair and make up trial. I loved how easy it was to communicate what I wanted while also receiving great input on her part. After all she's the expert! She understood what would best fit my face shape or eye shape. Paid full attention to detail! I felt so comfortable and beautiful by the time we were done! I'm thankful I found Dezi and I can't wait till my wedding day to have her work her magic!! read more

Absolutely love the personal attention that this business gives to its clients. Dezi is a top-notch artist. Not only does she do fabulous work in her beauty concierge, she does a lot of hair and makeup for high-profile photographers in Southern California. I get my hair cut here, even though it's $10 more expensive than Supercuts or Sports Clips. The additional $10 is well worth it. She's an excellent stylist. Meanwhile, she is intelligent, witty, and an excellent conversationalist. She's the entire package. The location, while not on the beaten path, is easy to find. It's right off Midway Drive -- near Rosecrans. The salon is clean, spacious, and professional. If you live anywhere near this location, be sure to call and set up an appointment. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been a client of Dezi V since 2008. She literally transformed me from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan for my wedding day. Ever since then I've been using her for my airbrush makeup. During Dezi's transition between salons, I used 2 different artists. Apples to apples, Dezi's skills with the eyes, blending and durability surpass anyone I've ever used. I have problematic skin but Dezi transforms my face into celebrity level quality. She's the best in San Diego in skills, time & price! If you're looking for a transformation, or in need of professional services WOW Your Beauty Concierge is the place to go! read more

Dezi did my hair and makeup for my senior prom and it was absolutely stunning. I had a lot of horrible experiences getting my makeup done in the past at other places where they would ignore what I wanted and over do the makeup. Dezi made my hair and makeup exactly how I envisioned it. She was so kind and easy to talk to and always had creative ideas to tweak my vision so that it worked logistically and even looked 10x better! I'm so happy! read more

Love these ladies! Norma has been cutting my hair for a few years now, always with stunning results. She has also done styling for formal occasions (which all help up to dinner and dancing), Brazilian blow-outs, CHI straightening treatments and a body wave for me. I've been 110% satisfied with her work and continue to be extremely grateful for her ability to sneak me in with my crazy work schedule. Aside from the excellent service, their salon is so cute! The building doesn't scream "salon" at you from the outside (more like office building) but once you get inside it's pink and pretty with a great set up. It's very open and inviting and feels like a place you'd love to hang out. Overall, I think they hit the mark! read more

I love WOW! Since i moved from SF I have looked for a good hairdresser - finally found my place! Norma listened but also had great ideas for my hair. She gave me the perfect highlights. The cut is the best I've had in SD (been here 4 years). THANK YOU!! Also - Lauren gave me the best eyebrow wax I've had in SD. Flawless. I would recommend WOW to anyone :-) read more

Dezi is wonderful. You will immediately feel like she is a friend. She really wants you to be happy, and will do all in her power to make it so! Wonderful cut and great service, this place is adorable you should try it! read more

Love this place! Very hip salon and super comfortable hair-washing chairs (you could almost call them beds). But the best part about this salon, is my stylist Natalie. She is creative in both hairstyling and makeup. And she sure knows how to color her blondes! I would follow Natalie anywhere, but I'm sure glad she is here. read more

Norma has been my exclusive stylist for more than 6 years now, at least. She's really outdone herself with her new salon. She and her partner, Dezi, have done an amazing job with the design and decor of the place, very cute with chandeliers and nice work stations. Others have mentioned the washing chairs/room, but you have got to try this place out! You could sleep they're so comfy (not to mention a relaxing scalp massage during the hair washing), no more stiff neck with the design of these washers! On to the skill...Norma is an amazing colorist and stylist. She uses excellent products that don't damage or dry out your hair in the highlighting process. My hair is medium brown with gold and reddish/copper hints, somewhat curly and thick - thus tends to get way frizzy. I prefer a subtler, natural highlight, and she blends it all very well so I get a touch of brightness (and shine!). It's so well done that after I have my hair done, people notice something different but can't tell quite what. I wish I could have her style my hair everyday. She cuts and layers it well so it enhances my personal beauty (what every girl wants!). My sister goes to Norma too (she told me about Norma), and her hair is much different from mine - and Norma always does a beautiful job with my sister's hair. Somehow with a hair cut she manages to make her hair look even longer! Magic. I am very happy that Norma and Dezi have made a niche also in wedding preparations, since I'm newly engaged and will be getting married next year. No question that I will have Norma do my hair and bridal party on this most important day of my life. :) I'm also going to try a makeup session and see how that goes, I've never had anyone do my makeup before...but I'm excited to see what they can do for me!! Plus Norma has been giving me some tips about wedding planners, and other things to consider as I begin to plan out my wedding. She's absolutely great! read more

I had the pleasure to work with Desi recently. Her work is beyond beautiful. She did hair and makeup for our beautiful bride and not to mention that she was on site the whole day making sure her makeup looked flawless. Great job - highly recommended! read more

Natalie is the best makeup artist I've ever had. I don't trust anyone else to make me feel as beautiful as she does. She also does the hair of my friends and family and she never fails to disappoint. She is knowledgable with all the current hairstyles for both men and women and is great at blending the makeup to match the skin perfectly. The makeup she does lasts all day and never gets smudged. She did my hair and makeup for my college graduation, and even though I was standing in 90 degree heat for an hour, it all remained intact. She's really kind to her customers, always asking if they're okay and is great with consultations. read more

Dezi is such an artist with hair and makeup. I was so pleased with what she did for me! She really knows exactly how to get the look you are going for, even if you don't really know what that look is yourself. I highly recommend her for weddings! read more

Dezi and the WOW girls did an AWESOME job on my sister's wedding day. It was an all day event as there were 10 or so ladies getting their hair and makeup done. The airbrushing of the foundation really impressed me and looked so beautiful on everyone's skin. Dezi was super fun to talk to as she was doing my hair. And, well, I probably was not the easiest to work with, I'll admit, as I was not happy with the original hairdo that Dezi had created for me. But to be fair, I was not clear with what I was wanting from the beginning, so that was by no means her fault. In the end, she decided it would be easiest for us to take down the updo she had spent a big chunk of time creating and simply create something else. I felt bad that she took so much time on me, but I really wanted to feel good about my appearance as a bridesmaid and Dezi wanted that for me, too. We ended up leaving at least half the hair down and because we were running short on time, Dezi started working on the bride while the other girls helped touch up the curls in my hair and by the end, after all 3 of the WOW girls had added some splashes of their love to my hair, VOILA!! I totally LOVEEEED it!!! Over all, the girls are fabulous and great at what they do. The whole bridal party was happy with them. Thanks WOW girls!!! read more

My mom and I have been going to Dezi for years. Her expertise and style have always been spectacular, but above all, we love the way she treats you like family. Not only have we trusted our hair care to Dezi for so long, she has been there for many of my own life stages and the styles that have come with them. There's no doubt that I will always choose Dezi for my hair, makeup, and big event styling needs. read more

Dezi did my Sisters Wedding on June 3-2016.... She did hair AND makeup and did an incredible job. Flawless and amazing. She did both the bride and bridesmaids ( along with another person who works for her who was also great) - she was cool and fun, and the vibe was so positive.... one word- PERFECT. I told her what I was looking for with my hair and she created it but even better- I have very thick long hair and it's not easy, but she made me look gorgeous. And as for makeup, I had been in many weddings and nobody has compared to doing makeup like Dezi, wow.... I could have been on the cover of a magazine- unbelievable. If you want to be the most beautiful gorgeous authentic amazing YOU? I recommend you go to Dezi! Additionally, she made the Bride absolutely incredible and the most beautiful bride I have ever seen in my life.... with a flawless natural look! Oh yes, Dezi Dezi Dezi! And also, you will be so comfortable and relaxed with her as well, so important... enjoy and you're welcome in advance for the recommendation- you will love her :) read more

I have been with Natalie for 3 years now, and have recently followed her to this salon! The salon is in a great location, with great parking availability, clean salon and cute decor. Also, I LOVE the hair washing station it is absolutely comfortable. But most of all I love Natalie! She is professional, and strives to make her clients feel just like her friends. Natalie is talented in all areas, her color techniques and cut is fabulous every time. She also does make up, weddings and so much more. After I leave Natalie I always feel like a million dollars. I cannot stress how much I look forward to seeing Natalie and getting my hair done by her. :) check out this salon and see Natalie, you will not be disappointed! read more

I absolutely love this salon and Natalie Gallegos!!!!!! It is so hard for me to find a hair stylist because I have baby fine hair which breaks off due to most stylist not knowing how to do hair that is so fine. I needed to get some hair color and wanted to get hair extentions too. A friend recommended Natalie and OMG!!! She is simply amazing!!! Not only did my hair not break off my hair color is the best color I have ever had. She also did hair extentions for me which are insanely BEAUTIFUL and match my hair color EXACTLY!!! This salon is so professional and so adorable...I love the way they decorated it. They did everything there that i needed to get done, hair color, extentions, makeup ...I'm so loving this salon..when I left the salon I felt so beautiful and so confident. I recommend Natalie and this salon VERY HIGHLY!!!!! read more

Went for the first time today and I am totally hooked and will be a forever loyal client. Haydee is beyond amazing she corrected years of damage and neclect in my hair. I walked in with my hair dry damaged and a total mess and walked out feeling 10 pounds lighter and just beautiful! I cant wait to go back for my touch ups and keratin treatment and make up class. Not only was my stylist amazing but the atmosphere of the salon was just beautiful! You must check her out! read more

I had my hair and makeup done by Dez years ago on trip to San Diego years ago and always make an appointment when I visit. This lady knows her biz! Very talented! I always walk out the door feeling great and impressed by her styling skills. Wish I lived closer to have her as my full time stylist! read more

The Wow Girlz did an incredible job for my wedding. Some of my bridesmaids were all over the place leading up to and the day of the wedding but they were so good at working with all of the different personalities and then fitting the hair and makeup style to match those personalities while still being streamlined for the bridal party motif. I was a nervous wreck but you would NOT have known it with the amazing hair and makeup. I also veered wayyy off track from my trial going from a down-do with side curls to a classic bridal up-do. They were so flexible and kind I just couldn't have asked for anything more. read more

Dezi and Theresa arrived on time and ready to make us beautiful for my intimate beach wedding. They were super flexible, easygoing, hilarious, and unbelievably talented. I had a giant sunburn across my chest, and Desi made it completely disappear. They listened to each girl's wishes, and then carried them all out with ease. They told us hilarious stories and engaged everyone in conversation as we were getting ready. It was a wonderful, relaxing experience...it made the whole day a breeze. Out-of-town brides, stop looking: this is your hair and make-up go-to! read more

Haydee is the most amazing stylist ever she has corrected my hair from previous stylist mistakes multiple times and always does an amazing job.. Most recently she has put in hair lock extensions and matched my hair color perfectly. I feel absolutely beautiful. I will never go to anyone else read more

Desi did a beautiful job on my daughter's makeup and hair for senior prom. We took in photos of what we wanted: a beautiful up-do with waterfall sides. It held up for the entire evening, as did the airbrush makeup. The salon is in an out of the way area off of Midway Dr, but once you find it, pleasant, with easy parking and everyone there is super nice. read more
