I am not a huge makeup enthusiast so…read moreI was looking for an expert who was versatile, could do natural glam, a soft and romantic look, and most importantly had good vibes. Brittany exceeded my expectations. She was responsive, kind, calming, affordable, and went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I did the trial run (no regrets) and Brittany came to my home. We went over makeup options, different hair options, and veil placement options. She asked lots of questions to make sure I was comfortable with everything, her skincare prep was fabulous and my makeup looked great! She spent the time to go over each step and customized my look based on my feedback. She's a true natural and was able to take my confusing feedback and turn it into exactly what I was envisioning. On the wedding day, Brittany was such a calm and happy presence in the room. My whole family loved her. We changed a few things we had gone over at the trial, and she remembered everything! Even things I had forgotten mentioning. That meant a lot to me. Brittany truly cares about her clients and it's clear she takes her job seriously. Most people in the wedding industry just treat you like another number but Brittany was the only person in the whole process who treated me like me. Brittany also did my 13 year old's hair and makeup for the wedding. I was worried about her looking too mature but Brittany did her makeup so perfectly, it just highlighted her features in such a soft, natural way... I was honestly speechless. I'm an anxious worrier but I never had to give a second thought to my hair/makeup/veil. Brittany added body glow and left behind a little touch up kit that had everything I needed. She even helped my mom with her makeup and lashes and squeezed in a friend who needed last minute hair and makeup services. My hair and makeup lasted all night, looked fabulous, and I felt like a star. I would hire Brittany again in a heartbeat to do anything makeup or hair related. She is truly an expert in her craft and her passion shows. In all the crazy hecticness of the wedding world - Brittany was the one of my favorite parts.

Very accommodating, pleasant, and did a beautiful job! Makeup looked great all night.read more

They pay us via their own online payroll system and we have to login to to transfer our funds to a bank account or Paypal. After working a few jobs with them, my account was hacked and someone was able to login, add a new transfer method and transfer my wages to their account within 4 minutes of my being notified of a "new login". I saw it immediately as I was on my computer when it happened, and changed the password, but it was too late. They had transferred funds to a Paypal account that was named with my last name, so it's obvious that there was some kind of data breach in their system that allowed for someone to strategize this and did this either to track their transfers or simply to fly under the radar and not be noticed. I didn't share my password or login with anyone, nor did I have any other login attempts or hacks on any other account so it's obviously stemmed from wherever this data is being stored. This also obviously was someone that knew their system well enough to be able to do this so quickly in spite of their website backend being a little strange to navigate. After completely ignoring multiple emails, their controller finally responded. I was shocked at the lack of seriousness in the company's response. I could not imagine why any company would not take seriously that their data is so not secure, that their employees wages are straight up getting stolen. Who runs their company that way? When I finally did get a response, the controller was not only NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT apologetic or empathetic for ACTUAL WAGES from hours of SKILLED WORK getting stolen from THEIR lack of security in THEIR unfortunate excuse for a payroll system, but when asked what the company was willing to do to rectify or assure me that I was safe to continue working and this would not happen again, she simply responded by denying that this has ever happened before and saying there was nothing she could do. I was floored. Any company that handles their employees and their online security this way has no ethics (at best) and can absolutely not be trusted, especially with your data and credit card info.

Words cannot even begin to descirbe how absolutely AMAZING Brian Bond is. He has done my makeup for two occasions and I have never felt as beautiful as I have on those two days! The first time Brian did my makeup was in 2008 for my brother's wedding. Everyone in the bridal party looked beyond stunning. I was just married on September 20th and the ONLY thing I knew for sure when I began planning my wedding was that I wanted Brian to do my makeup! My makeup was absolutely flawless as was the makeup for my mom and bridesmaids! Brian has an amazing way of making you look like yo're not wearing a ton of makeup, you simply look like a flawless version of yourself! The way he does eyes is particularly brilliant, as he has a way of making it so that you don't think "what pretty eye makeup" but rather "what beautiful eyes!" His brilliant use of shadow makes your natural eye color pop! My eyes have never looked so blue! Brian is an extremely UNIQUE makeup artist in that he is not only a BRILLIANT artist but he is also absolutely AMAZING at the customer service i.e. extremely punctual, extremely organized, and completely on top of his game as far and managing time needed for all bridal party etc. This is HUGE when getting ready for a big event as you know you can count on Brian to keep things running smoothly and can sit back and RELAX. In the past I have usually had the experience that people are either brilliant artists or brilliant at customer service. Brian is a rare gem in that he happens to be BOTH! I was extremely fortunate that Brian is so stellar at customer service because due to an e-mail error on my part I almost lost out on being able to book him for my wedding day! I accidentally sent my replied to my mother with the e-mail to book my wedding day instead of sending it to Brian! Fortunately for me, Brian, called me when he hadn't received a return e-mail before booking another job. I was SO grateful for his dilligence, attention to detail and for being kind enough to check in with me before taking another booking. I guarantee that the majority of people would not be so kind and considerate. I recommend Brian to EVERYONE of every age and am forever grateful to him for making me feel like a princess on my wedding day. I look forward to working with him in the future and hope that many more brides are able to have the amazing opportunity to work with Brian. read more

Brian Bond was nothing short of amazing when it came to my personal Maternity Photo Shoot with my active duty Husband. Even the word "amazing" doesn't do his work and his professionalism justice. With only 4 days notice, he squeezed me in - never having used his services before - and he not only squeezed me in, but went above and beyond the call of duty. He found me a hair stylist, Sharone Bishop, who was able to take me just before I was heading to see Brian. His ability to multi-task and communicate efficiently via email was refreshing and a relief. I couldn't be more thankful for both of their services, and because of them, my photos came out beautiful - while being 8 months pregnant to boot! :-) His application and immediate know-how of the look I was going for made me relax right away. I knew I was in good hands and was worry free in an instant after meeting him. I can't thank Brian enough for the ease he gave me to enjoy this photo shoot knowing the pictures would come out beautifully because I felt pretty and confident the whole time. I would recommend working with Brian Bond a million times over!! read more

Brian Bond is a make-up magician, a full fledged professional, and a great person! He obviously loves what he does and is committed to working in partnership with each client to create the best results for each individual. He doesn't have a "one size fits all" approach and he is always bubbling over with new and creative ideas. He spends a lot of time talking to and getting to know his client. My teenage daughter has been a competitive ballroom dancer for the past 3 years and when she found Brian her make-up dreams came true. He has done her make-up for the past year...perhaps 4 or 5 different dance competitions all over Southern California...from Palm Springs to Orange County to San Diego. Each competition requires a different look since my daughter's dance dresses change. The usual start-time for Brian is 5:00 a.m. and he has always arrived on time, full of good cheer, good ideas, and great products. And when he is finished, my daughter has always looked amazing. Brian is extraordinarily talented, creative, fun, enthusiastic and reliable. HE IS THE BEST! read more

Brian is exactly who every bride needs for their wedding day. He is an incredibly talented makeup artist who has a gift of knowing precisely how to accentuate a woman's beauty. I first met Brian when he did my makeup for my best friend's wedding and I truly had NEVER FELT MORE BEAUTIFUL. He was the first person I called after I set the date for my wedding and I was so thankful he was available to do the makeup for my bridesmaids, my mother and myself on my big day. Everyone was obsessed with their makeup and blown away with how glamorous they looked, and I, once again, couldn't have been happier with my makeup!! Brian was so professional, upbeat, and followed our schedule to the tee.

I can't possibly say enough AMAZING things about Brian Bond! He truly is a master at his craft. I first met Brian when I was looking to hire a make-up artist for my wedding. The moment we met there was no doubt that he was the one I wanted for my big day. His work is flawless. He listened to what I wanted my make-up to look like but also suggested colors that would work for me (after all, he's the professional!). I was blown away by the finished product. The airbrushing was amazing as well as the beautiful eye lashes. My bridesmaids also loved his work so much that two have since hired Brian to do their wedding make-up! He is so fun and just amazing positive energy to have on your wedding day. Whenever I need my makeup done in the future he will definitely be the one I call! read more

Let me start by saying Brian Bond is seriously the most amazing make up artist I have ever used. Coming from NY I am extremely picky and I have had my make up done a few times in San Diego and was not impressed. My friend Alison referred me to Brian and he literally transforms you . Whether you want full on Glam or just a natural look he can achieve it. He did my make up for my wedding on May 9th, 2009 and transformed me from tired and dead looking to bright, awake , and happy! I love him! I have plenty of pictures from that day if anyone needs to see them for bridal makeup . He is a natural, born with the gift of transforming you into whatever it is you need to be ! read more

If you need your makeup done in the Los Angeles or San Diego area, there is no other choice than Brian Bond. Looking at his website, his work speaks for itself, but what his site does not show is his amazing personality that comes with all that talent. Such a pleasure to work with and such an artist. Also, he uses nothing but top-of-the-line products, so you will want to rush to the nearest department store and buy everything he puts on you!! I used Brian for my wedding and we were so impressed that no less than a week later my sister used him for a Halloween portrait where he made their whole family look dead. He can do anything.

Ever felt REALLY anxious about getting your picture taken? That's been me forever. I have felt unattractive all my life. Then there was the added pressure of getting married and having your picture taken millions of times. I started working with Brian on my makeup preferences 8 months before the event. He did my engagement shoot, a couple of parties, and then the big wedding event at Pelican Hill- when I looked into the mirror, I saw a beautiful bride. I finally liked myself. He gave me a classy, elegant, but young look. Most of all- he gave me the opportunity to have confidence in myself. read more

Just disappointing to have to fix your hair after getting your hair done. Oh well.

Victor Magna is amazing!…read more He has been my hairstylist for 3-4 years now and I have never had a bad haircut. My mother has been getting her hair styled from him for 15+ years and she is always so happy with his cuts. He always gives me the length I want, nothing more, nothing less. He listens to my request and gives me the perfect haircut. I trust him 100% with my hair. He is truly an artist.

I'm both excited and nervous about whether the hairstylist will be good or not. The good part is…read morethat the color turned out nice, the salon itself is great, and the hairstylist, who is also the owner, has both good and bad qualities. She was okay and constantly checked with me about the color, style, and length. I appreciated how gently she brushed my hair, even from the shampoo and conditioner stage. However, she had long nails, which made my scalp feel a little uncomfortable. The biggest issue was the price. There is a deposit, and when it was time to pay, she charged me more than we had agreed on, saying the color and style required extra work. It was a mix of experience, plus she's running for her girls night out, so I'm not sure if I'll go back.

Ive gone to Angel for the last few years... and I'm sad to say he's just too comfortable and acts…read morelike he knows the best things for your hair and he acts like the best, but the truth is, he's mediocre and overpriced. I've gone maybe once or twice a year for the last 4 or 5 years and I can't take it anymore. He travels all the time so it's impossible to be seen. Everytime I go in he dyes my hair but forgets to cut it or tone it... Last time I went in, he touched up my money pieces. The right side is about 5 inches wide and the left side is 1 or 2 inches wide. I've waited months to see him to get it fixed, he said "you should be my model, ill tone it for free and fix it next time" blah blah blah but he NEVER got back to me nor did he fix my hair.. I have felt SO ugly with my hair this ugly yellow orange brassy color and it's super uneven and money pieces are only supposed to be in the from bang part... he bleached the whole front right half of my head and like 1/3 of the front left side of my head... The back underneath is still DARK, then the top part of the back of my hair is blonder like he tried to hide the dark hair and not color it to save him time and product. Never again, imma stick to doing my own hair. Never spending $300 on shit service again. Even if they're nice, be honest. It'll save you in the long run.
