Camilla was a life saver on my wedding day! After getting vaccinated and realizing I just couldn't do my own hair the way I wanted, I contact Camilla three weeks before my wedding day. Luckily she was available, and made time that week for a hair trial. She has such a wonderful, calming energy - my husband and I had such a great time hanging out with her while we got ready at 5:30 in the morning, and she ended up doing his hair too! She did a great job on my hair and totally executed my vision! read more

Camilla does my highlights a few times per year and I had her do my hair and three bridesmaids' hair for my wedding. I always enjoy spending time with her and she makes everyone feel at ease. She is such a sweetheart and I was happy to have her with us while getting ready for the big day. I recommend her for routine hair coloring or special event styling. read more

Camilla did my hair for my wedding, and she was fantastic! She was recommended by my wedding planner, and often works with Julie Dy, the makeup artist I'd already booked. As one of my friends put it, my hair looked effortless and beautiful. It was a work of art, very impressive. She also did my mom's and our officiant's hair, and they looked great as well. And she was great to work with, a positive presence to have on my wedding day, and always reliable and professional. I would highly recommend her! read more

Camilla is sweet, calming, talented, punctual, and reasonably priced. The essentials for a wedding hairstylist. I first met her for my trial updo and she was fun, flexible, and open to my ideas and preferences. The result was a beautiful, yet not too formal do. On the day of the wedding, she was right on time, appearing at my hotel room at the crack of dawn with all her tools. She was patient and meticulous, and was chipper, even at that early hour. She was extremely sweet, and gave me a beautiful hairstyle. She does travel to your hotel. Alternatively, she does work out of a salon in the Marina. I highly recommend her. Additionally, she recommended a make up artist who was just a doll. Camilla, thank you for helping me look my best. I got compliments all day from my new hubby! read more

Camilla did my hair, my Mom's hair and my bridal party's hair for my wedding a few weeks ago - and she was fantastic! We did the trial back in January, but by the day of the wedding I had a slightly different idea of how I wanted my hair to look and Camilla totally rolled with it and my hair turned out perfectly. She was such a nice, calming presence the day of and she is so meticulous! Every curl was perfect - thanks for everything Camilla! read more

This woman does not charge me enough for her work! Always love coming to Camilla for my wash, cut, & style. I come in with damaged ends & unmanageable hair and come out looking like I'm expensive. She's so sweet I will only be going to her for my hair needs. read more

I recently started going to Camilla at Lavish, just last week. And, all the reviews were right. She's great. The only reason I joined Yelp was so that I could add to her great reviews. I got a great hair cut, and then went back and added a hot-pink streak in my hair. I've gotten non-stop compliments on both the cut and the color job. Also, my wedding is coming up in about 7 months, and based on the number of wedding related reviews I found, I initially went to Camilla to test her out to see if I'd trust her with my hair on my wedding day, and without even having done a trial, I can say that yes I trust her. I'm not even entirely sure I want an up-do, but I immediately felt at ease, because Camilla is a great listener, and "gets" what I'm trying to explain. It's an added bonus that she's super sweet, and really quick getting back to you on email, it's amazing. read more

Camilla did my bridal hair and all my bridesmaids and mother's hair. I highly recommend her. Not only did she do exactly what I wanted, she nailed it. I use to go to another hair stylist and she ended up not working out. When I met Camilla for my trial I knew I was going to love her straight off the bat! In between my trial and wedding day I came to her for a trim. I will be going to her for my regular trims. Camilla is excellent! She is a very well experienced stylist. She listens to you and executes exactly what you want. She is a fun and sweet person as well. Thank you Camilla for doing such a wonderful job the day of the wedding!!! We received nonstop compliments all day long. read more

Camilla Betteridge - Wedding Hair by Camilla Betteridge! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Based on stellar Yelp reviews and photos, I was eager to visit Camilla for my wedding updo trial. What I got was immensely unflattering, tragically unhip, and a growing distrust of Yelpers. Update: Upon reading this review, Camilla sent me a refund and a sweet note. We clearly weren't the best match, but she's a nice gal. read more

Camilla was my wedding hair stylist for both my city hall civil wedding and then my larger beach wedding the next day. She was recommended by my makeup person at Nordstrom (which, btw has a great selection of moderately priced dresses). Camilla seemed to have consistently rave reviews on yelp and was available for both my dates. The hair trial went smoothly. She listened to what I wanted and my concerns (no helmet looking hair), and we ended up with a look that I knew I wanted for my wedding. On my wedding day(s), she was on time both times, very prompt, which is super important. She did my hair and my sister's hair. Also, she is super sweet and so wonderful to work with, always cheery and smiling. My difficult to manage hair stayed up all night (low side swept bun-like thing). Overall...highly recommend. read more

Camilla did a fantastic job on my wedding hair! I wanted a low curled side bun and Camilla really nailed the look I had in mind. It didn't look too stiff and held up against the wind at Hyde Street Pier. As well as talented, Camilla is super sweet and listens to what you want. read more

Highly recommend Camilla for your wedding updos, she is fantastic and reasonably priced, especially compared to those fancy schmancy wedding salons. I wanted a pin-curl/chignon updo for my wedding banquet. This past Saturday, on literally the rainiest day in over a year, she pulled off a phenomenal job. I wish I used her for my actual wedding ceremony up in Sonoma! My hair looked amazingly natural and stood up against the rain, wind and hours of dancing. Most of, it didn't look like "crunchy" hair like so many of those updos that you see! She had a great suggestion of putting a pretty gold ribbon in my hair to match my Chinese dress. Camilla has a wonderful disposition, I would definitely go to her again for any type of wedding/party hair. read more

My sister was having a destination wedding San Francisco, and I took it upon myself to find her hair, henna, and nail people. (It was a month before the wedding, and I was frantic to find someone!) I found Camilla through yelp, and after emailing several stylists, chose her based on 1) her prices, 2) her availability, and 3) her positive reviews. I'm so glad I did! Camilla was *amazing*! She was so accommodating, even though my sister and some of the wedding party was from out of town. She managed to arrange haircuts and trials when my sister was in town and communicated well with us via email and phone. Then I kept getting last minute (as in week before or day of!) requests from bridesmaids or family members... even though it irritated me, Camilla was an absolute doll, and tried to fit everyone in. I never saw her in the salon, but my sister and the sister of the groom reported back positively. At the hotel on the day of the wedding, she was professional, warm, listened well, and performed exquisitely! She brought Sarah (who was sweet, but honestly, not as talented) with her, and they worked on 1 bride, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms together. Camilla seemed to invest herself personally in each person (especially the bride). If anyone was unhappy with her hair, Camilla would put her back in the chair and fix it. All the bridesmaids and moms were very pleased at the end of the day. And we found her quite affordable too! I probably won't be getting married in San Francisco, but if I did... read more

I LOVE Camilla! She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She is so positive, easy to work with, and super talented. When I met her for a hair trial on Saturday, she spent so much time fiddling with my hair so that we could achieve a look I was comfortable with. Then we played around with my veil and she brought out some fake flowers so we could play around with looks. She was meticulous and put so much care into the hair style and she really listened to my feelings, which I was really appreciative of. If I told her I was uncomfortable with something, she played around with the hair to see if I would like something better. Even after I booked her, I sent her a few emails about having more volume in my hair, etc. and she was always super sweet and said that we could do anything I wanted! Even a week before the wedding when I thought about having my hair down, she said that she would come earlier on the wedding day so that we could play around with it. How great is that!? On the day of the wedding, she came early and was very prepared. She did all the bridesmaids hair, my hair, my mom's hair, and my husband's mom's hair. Everyone looked sensational! I especially loved my hair, which looked very Audrey Hepburn-esque and looked very classy with my lacey dress. I absolutely LOOOVED it! Even when she was doing my hair, I was still on the fence with the appropriate hair style and Camilla being the WONDERFUL and PATIENT person that she is played around with my hair until we decided on THE LOOK. And the hair style was so smooth and sleek and beautiful even though it was day old hair. I was amazed! If I could give Camilla 10 stars I would because I think that she is 1) very talented 2) a joy to work with 3) patient 4) very flexible 5) very responsible 6) super sweet and kind! Give her a try and I know that you will be very HAPPY! read more

Color, cut & styling with Camilla is the way to go! Camilla has been doing my hair for 5 years now, and I get compliments on my hair all the time! Genetically I am lucky in the hair department but it takes a good cut and a dash of brilliant color to bring out it's best! I am super glad to have discovered Camilla - she takes great care of my hair and she's fun to be around. She really loves what she does! How do I know this? Well not only is she having a good time whenever I come into the salon, she even mentors teens who want to become hair professionals through the SPARK program. Camilla is a wonderful person and a fabulous artist! read more

I was recommended to Camilla by London Elise. I got a wonderful haircut, at a reasonable price, in a relaxing, homey comfortable atmosphere. Wow! What more could I ask for? ;-) I can hardly wait to go see her to get my hair colored, especially after reading the rave reviews of her coloring skills. Red hair, here I come! read more

Camilla is amazing, incredibly creative and caters to your style needs and desires! My longtime friend/business collegue of 16 years. You can find her at Lavish on Chestnut between Octavia and Gough. :) Have a great time, she'll make you feel right at home. read more

I decided last minute that I wanted a nice updo for my event in the evening. I whipped out my iPhone, pressed my Yelp app, and up popped Camilla. She told me she just had a cancellation and to come on in. Upon arriving, the ladies asked if I wanted anything to drink. I showed her my dress and wasn't exactly sure of what I wanted. She gave me some awesome suggestions. We decided to call it "The Modified Snooki." This woman is truly a breathe of fresh air. She really is so nice and considerate. She continually was concerned that she was pulling my hair too tight, or sticking too many bobbi pins in my head. I mean, what hair dresser does that? I didn't even know what she was doing in the back of my head. When she finished and twirled me around to view it in the mirror, I loved it. Within 40 minutes, I was lookin' pretty fierce for my night. $75 may be a on the pricier side for an updo, but it was well worth her work and her accommodating and sweet personality. Thank you fellow Yelpers! read more

Where do I begin. Camilla is a miracle worker. I have been wanting to do something different with my hair for awhile and since I like the cut I have, I figured color was the next step. I went to the girl who had been cutting my hair for the past six months and told her what I wanted. She really didn't listen and I left broke and not exactly happy. Fast forward 6-8weeks and I decided I needed to go to someone new. This can be quite a scary task, putting that sort of trust in a stranger. After reading all the great reviews about Camilla I figured I would give it a shot. All the reviews are correct. She is so meticulous and makes sure to get your hair perfect. I showed her a picture of the highlights/color change I wanted and off she went mixing colors. After a few hours, I left the salon feeling like a whole new woman. She is worth every penny! I will definitely go back! Thanks a million, Camilla! read more

Camilla is an absolute sweetheart!!! I found her on a desperate search of hair stylist for my wedding. She was very responsive and super accommodating. She didn't make me look over done which is exactly what I wanted, natural but polished. On the day of the wedding, Camilla was calm, cool and collective. Even when things started to get hectic and tight on time, she continuously assured me in a calming matter that everything was going to be perfect! Camilla is wonderful to work with, definitely the type of calming spirit you want during the craziness of a wedding day. read more

Camilla Betteridge - Camilla rocks! - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

Camilla is the only one I trust with my hair. She also gives amazing scalp massages.....enough said!

Disclosure: I was not Camilla's (regular or irregular) client. I did not have a big wedding party either. Camilla was recommended by a make-up artist Julie Dy that I contacted (and was unfortunately booked). I changed a couple of emails with Camilla and scheduled a trial, or should I say THE trial: my first and last hairdo trial. I loved it so much I knew I would not find any better. Camilla is an excellent hair stylish and colorist - in between the trial and the wedding, I also had some highlights done that made my hairdo look even better - but besides being a talented professional she is also very calm, patient, relaxed, funny and sweet.. This resulted on a very enjoyable and zen day off, so I could not be any happier. Thank you, Camilla! read more

Having great hair instills confidence, and Camilla always gives me the right consultation and hair design for the occasion. She works with me, to give a quality cut and amazing color. I have some coarse and unruly curls, and I trust Camilla with my difficult head of hair! Whether I want to revamp my style, or walk into an interview with poise, Camilla has wonderful suggestions. Besides being my stylist of choice for cuts, and color, I visit her for an occasional wash & style (for a big night out)! She is also a delightful person. *Camilla does hair for weddings too read more

I was so happy when I found Camilla to do my bridal hair. I wanted someone to travel to my hotel (in SF) to do my hair for my wedding + three bridemaids. (My regular salon would not let their stylists travel!). The trial with Camilla was great - she did my hair a few different ways for my wedding, and worked with my veil, and we decided that an up-do would look best. She is also reasonably priced. On my wedding day, she was on time and did all four of our hairstyles. She listened to each of us as we explained what we wanted; and needless to say, I loved my hair! Plus, Camilla is very sweet and personable. I definitely recommend her. read more

Camilla totally delivered on my wedding day! I had a semi-large bridal party that needed their hair done (6 bridesmaids plus my mom and myself) for my wedding, so Camilla brought her co-worker Jade to help for the wedding day. They were both on-time and so organized and so flexible that we actually finished all the prepping a little early! Not to mention, everyone's hair looked absolutely wonderful. They took the time to set everyone's hair before doing the up-dos and got a feeling of what each girl wanted, and then took the time to make sure everyone was happy with the finished product. My hair turned out slightly different than the trial that I had with Camilla, but it still looked great (it was a low, piecey up-do), and held up for the whole day, despite our ceremony being outside on a windy SF day. Both Jade and Camilla fit in great with the group and made us all feel very confident in their skills, and made for a fun day of girl prepping. If I could do it all over, I would definitely hire them again! read more

Camilla Betteridge - Hair Stylists Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been seeing Camilla for the past year and absolutely love her. My hair is looking the best it's ever been! My motto was to add more blonde into my life, and not only does she have fantastic skills with color, esp blonde - you fellow blonders out there you know how difficult it can be to find someone who is awesome - but she was able to take my thin hair and make it more voluminous with a fabulous cut. I always leave feeling like a superstar or that I can take on the world! She is prompt, and prepared, and believes you should feel pampered while you are there. She has great style, and is a true professional. Also, I work as a wedding coordinator, and would very much refer her based on my own personal experiences. Def make an appt well in advance, don't wait until last minute. read more

Camilla you are absolutely amazing and a joy to work with. Camilla and her assistant Jade helped out with my 3 bridesmaids and Camilla herself did 3 completely different bridal hair looks (I had 4 different outfits to wear in my wedding day this past Saturday!!) Camilla came to my hotel and was working all day (and by all day I mean 8am until about 8:30 at night!) she never complained about the long hours but was excited, always smiling and obviously cared about making sure my bridal party and I had perfect hair. My now husband said he couldn't believe all my different looks and how each one looked fantastic. I only met Camilla a few days before the wedding for my trial (I live in LA but wedding was in SF) but Camilla always answered every email and was very friendly at answering my millions of questions. I would recommend Camilla hands down...she is the best!!! read more

Thank God I found Camilla thru Yelp. She did my hair for my SF City Hall wedding last week and she made my hair look amazing that even my now-husband still could not stop complimenting me for it. I am not a very organized person which is why I only found her a few days before my wedding. She also worked around my budget which is the deciding factor! This is the first time I made a decision based on reviews from Yelp and she did not disappoint. I left her a voicemail and she responded within the day. I also just texted her pictures of my preferred hairstyles and we narrowed it down during the day of. She was very professional even though I was late because of the BART incident during the day of the wedding. I have thin hair which does not hold an up do for long and she worked around it. I wanted braids and a soft, low chignon and she made it happen. She did my hair around 12noon and it stayed up til the party ended around 11pm. She was working at Addison Salon during the day of the wedding and I have to say that they were all very friendly and made me feel at ease as I had to go back there to change after having my make up done in MAC Pro a few blocks away (they were also very good, only 50 bucks with free mascara). I will go back to her anytime I have an event in SF. Hopefully soon!!!! read more

Camilla has been styling and coloring my hair for years and I can honestly say that every visit has been an awesome experience. She always has just the right vision for my curly mop and I always leave feeling lovely and light. She's truly a caring and insightful collaborator and that means a lot to me. read more

Unless you are Camilla's REGULAR client, forget about booking her for the wedding. After reading reviews and seeing photos about her work on yelp, I contacted her to book the trial session. I was out of the country and booked the trial over email and even called over the phone to confirm the appointment. On the day of the trial, I drove from Napa and parked in the nearby parking garage 20 minutes before the appointment. When I walked into the salon, Camilla told me that one of her REGULAR clients had booked Camilla for her wedding on the same day as mine and she couldn't do my hair on my wedding day. Camilla told me that she sent me email explaining her decision, but I never received it. Furthermore, she assumed that I got her email and would not show up for this trial session without hearing from me to cancel it and booked other people during my appointment. Can you believe that? I was looking forward to getting my hair done with Camilla and had a plan to attend a wedding the same day with my updo. She was apologetic and offered to do my hair for free on another day, but why would I want to drive for over an hour, pay bridge tolls and parking to SF to another appointment with someone who is not professional and cancels appointments based on her assumptions. So unless you are her REGULAR, forget about booking and keeping an appointment with her. read more

I cannot praise Camilla enough for my hair! I came in for a special event up-do and she did a fantastic job! I stumbled upon her page on Yelp and decided to give her a shot since I had always walked by the shop on my way home from work. So glad I did! She's sweet, friendly, and really knows how to handle hair! I've had experiences where the hairstyle looks very different from what I originally wanted, or come out with too much product, or I come out much later than what I was told -- so I wasn't sure what to expect. I went in, showed her one photo and came out in less than an hour with a beautiful braided up-do. She knew exactly what she was doing and just started working - curling, braiding, twisting, pinning and spraying! As efficient as she was, she made sure to constantly ask if everything looked okay, or I prefer a strand move up or down. It was by far the best updo I've ever had done and wish I went to her for my own wedding! Pricing is very reasonable as well. I highly recommend her for her hair services. I've only had an updo, but I look forward to using her for other services in the near future. read more

Camilla did my hair for my rehearsal dinner (when we did our Korean wedding ceremony) and for my wedding this past weekend and it was PERFECT on both occasions!!! I loved both hairstyles so much and I received numerous compliments from so many of my guests. She also did my mom's hair and my sister's hair for my wedding and they both also really loved what Camilla did. I really cannot recommend Camilla enough. She is SO easy to work with and is SO sweet! She is also very very professional. We had her come to the bridal suite at the hotel we were staying at, and she was on time and ready to work! I also loved that she took her time doing my hair to make sure it was perfect from every angle. I also appreciated that she stuck around longer than needed. She stayed until I literally left the room to head to the church. That really showed that she takes her job seriously and really wants the bride's hair to be perfect! Camilla even did my Dad's hair and my husband's hair. She is just the sweetest person and I highly recommend hiring her for your wedding! Thank you Camilla. I LOVED working with you and LOVED my wedding hair!! read more

She is great! London Elise (check her out on Yelp), recommended her, and I couldn't be happier. She does an amazing meticulous job. The best part? She is friendly and actually LISTENS to what you say. My peeve in the "service industry" is when people insist they "know best" because they are the "professional." I am so easy going, and I don't find myself to be a difficult client, but I can't stand it when my opinion is completely shunned or ignored. What am I paying for? My happiness or hers? Okay, random diatribe. My point is that Camilla is awesome. So awesome, I am having her do my entire wedding party. Now that is trust and love . . . . :) read more

researched on Yelp for a person/salon to do an up do for a special occasion. I needed my hair done for a holiday party and booked an appointment with Camilla Betteridge. Everything was simple. Booked online, confirmed online and even shared a picture of what I wanted as well. I showed up and within an hour my hair was everything that I had hoped for and more. We played around with some styles and ended up liking what she had done more than my picture. She was a delight. Very personable and very friendly. The shop is very cute and the other stylist there also does make up. Up do is $75 which was not bad for what she did. Highly recommend her for an occasion. read more

My lovely highlights didn't grow here on their own. Camilla is a color genius. I recommend her and to all my friends who want beautiful cuts and gorgeous color in a friendly, relaxed environment. She works in a schmanky Fillmore salon, but I like her stylish North Beach home studio. Getting fabulized by Camilla is like having coffee talk with your best friend and you leave prettier. read more

If you need someone who is reliable and true to her word, who will be there for you. . . Camilla is NOT your gal!! I haven't had my hair done by Camilla--never had the chance. Basically, she agreed to do my wedding and then she said she didn't know if she could, and she would get back to me. I never heard another word from her. Here's how the conversation went. (". . ." just means I deleted some non-essential parts) January 31 (from me): [talking about salon location]. . . I would probably prefer "on location," but is it ok to book you now for August 20 and decide later where we do it? February 4 (from Camilla): Yes, that all sounds good. . .Let me know when you would like to set up a trial run appointment. February 7 (from me): Hi, Camilla, thanks for your email. How about a trial run on July 15?. . . February 12 (from me): Hi, Camilla, I sent this email last week, and I never heard back about a trial run on July 15. Let me know if that sounds ok to you. Thanks! February 14 (from Camilla): Hi. . .Sorry about the delayed reply. Had family in town this week and got a bit behind on emails. There is a chance I won't be available on your wedding day so I need to follow up with you in a week when I will know for sure. I hope this is ok for you. Thanks! All my Best, Camilla It's now April 3, and I have never heard from her again. I didn't hold my breath after a few weeks of no emails from her. I'm sure Camilla found a more lucrative job than my own for that date, and just decided it wasn't worth it to do my wedding (I don't have a big wedding party or anything). Do yourself a favor and take the warnings on yelp seriously. Camilla Betteridge is not professional, and no bride needs that kind of grief before the wedding day. read more

Camilla was introduced to me as a Hair-a-Medic, and she IS! I feel like I could ask her to do something totally different to my hair every time I see her (and I have at least three times), and she can do it all! She is a sweet and cool woman who takes good care of her clients Not only did she give me great hair for traveling, she helped heal me of a bad cold with her nurturing ways so I could enjoy my trip in beauty AND good health! And all this without breaking my bank - Yay for Camilla! read more

Camilla rocks! She is kind, patient and meticulous. I have never had anyone spend so much time working on my hair and I was blown away with the results. When I was blond, she would meticulously add in low lights and high lights to the point that people actually believed I was a natural blond. Now that I am brunette again, she is able to give my hair depth and make sure that it is not just one color. She really knows her stuff and is excellent at matching color to your roots if you are trying to grow out your natural color or just want to do a more low-maintenance color. I have been with her 4 years and there is no other! read more

Camilla is great. She's easy to work with and really listens to everything you want. I knew exactly what I wanted for my wedding and she turned it into a reality with ease. She was so attentive that on the day of my wedding she remembered all the little fixes I wanted (even though my hair trial was about a month prior) and she even noticed that my hair had grown since the our trial run. read more
