This review is for Brooke Congalves:…read more I'm new to the area and had been searching for a new hairstylist, which can honestly be nerve-racking when you've been searching from someone you can trust with your hair for years. I don't have access to social media, so I ended up finding Brooke through Yelp and I am SO happy I did! I reached out to her by text and she responded almost immediately. Before my appointment, I sent her a photo of my current hair along with a few inspiration pictures of what I was hoping to achieve. Right from the beginning, communication was easy and I felt like she understood what I was looking for. The salon itself is adorable clean, welcoming, and has a really cute modern feel. When I met Brooke, she took the time to actually look at my hair and talk with me about my goals. One of the most important things to me is keeping my hair healthy because I'm trying to grow it long which has taken some time. She was very upfront that getting exactly where I ultimately want to be would be a process, and I REALLY appreciated that instead of trying to do too much in one appointment. She respected the integrity and health of my hair while still getting me incredibly close to my inspiration photos. Brooke was also just genuinely nice and easy to talk to. The entire appointment was comfortable, relax and I was in and out in about three hours, which was another huge plus. She's also only about a 15-minute drive from my house, so finding someone this close who I actually trust with my hair feels like hitting the jackpot! Her pricing was very affordable, but to be completely honest, the quality of her work was beyond! If you're looking for someone who listens to what you want, is realistic about the process, cares about maintaining the health and integrity of your hair, and can actually deliver what you show her in an inspiration photo, go see Brooke. So happy I found MY new stylist. 10/10. Absolutely recommend!

I can't say enough good things about Charlene and Launa!…read more I was attending a wedding at a Temecula winery and wanted to be done up for the occasion. Charlene handled my hair and Launa did my makeup, and together they nailed it. Charlene guided me on adding curl but not too much volume. I was very happy with the result. Launa's makeup was equally awesome. She made me feel put together without my makeup being heavy or overdone. It held up beautifully through a long evening and I received a lot of compliments. Both ladies were professional, warm, attentive, and invested in making sure I loved the final result. They listened to what I wanted and delivered just that. I left feeling confident, beautiful, and ready for a gorgeous wedding. I would absolutely book Charlene and Launa again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists who are talented, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Thank you both for helping make the weekend so special!

I'm so happy I found a hairdresser in Temecula who genuinely understands hair! It can be really…read moredifficult to find someone who knows how to cut and style thin hair without making it look even finer, but Rosey absolutely gets it. She takes the time to understand what you want while also recommending what will actually work for your hair type. My hair always looks fuller, healthier and so much easier to manage after seeing her. She's incredibly knowledgeable about hair not only balayage, highlights, color and cuts, she knows how to create shape and volume without taking away the precious hair you do have! If you're looking for a hairdresser in Temecula who takes the time to listen to what you need, does not get scissor happy, cares about the condition of your hair and has a lovely presence with a beautiful private, airy salon, I genuinely couldn't recommend Rosey more. Finding someone locally who really understands all hair types has made such a difference for me!

I tried the AlmaTED non-invasive red light hair growth treatment at Mastery of Hair with Rosey in…read moreTemecula, and I'm honestly blown away. I've been dealing with thinning hair from stress and early pre-menopause, and it's really taken a toll on my hair and confidence. I was curious but also a little nervous going in... and then I felt nothing. Zero pain. It literally felt like a gentle scalp massage with light vibration--so relaxing that it felt more like self-care than a treatment. The process was fast, easy, and I went right on with my day like nothing happened. No downtime at all. This is new hair technology, completely non-invasive, and such an easy yes compared to anything surgical or scary. Rosey recommends a series of 3 treatments, with an annual maintenance treatment for optimal results, which feels totally doable--especially since it's painless. I loved it so much that my husband had the treatment done too. I'm really excited to see my results and can't wait to come back and update this review once my hair starts growing in. If this works the way the research says it does, I honestly don't know why anyone would ever choose hair transplants again. Rosey is incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely cares, and is always ahead of the game. Highly recommend.

I do not even know where to begin with how wonderful Leah and Brittany are…read more I hired Leah to do hair & makeup for myself and my bridal party, and from start to finish, she was an absolute joy. My trial went flawlessly, and Leah made me feel so unbelievably comfortable right from the start (she is also a perfectionist - which is something you will appreciate on your wedding day). I can honestly say that her and her co-worker, Brittany, were one of the biggest reasons my wedding day was as special as it was. Not only did they make us LOOK beautiful, but they made us FEEL beautiful. My advice for brides-to-be is DO NOT SKIMP ON THIS SERVICE! Leah and her team are more than worth the cost (also, splurge and get the airbrush, it's amazing). Even before the day of, Leah was such a huge support and I don't know how many times she talked me off the ledge or out of my stress (which wasn't even her responsibility) about the wedding. She gave me a list of "nice to haves" which came in SO MUCH handy the day of. Leah and Brittany listened to our every want and need, and completely brought each of our hair and makeup visions to life on my wedding day. I changed and added things (like a true bridezilla) up until the very last minute and Leah accommodated me, no questions asked. Not to mention they stayed for extra time to make sure we were all touched up for photos. If I could recommend her 1,000x a day, I would. An absolute 10/10 experience, from start to finish. I can't thank Leah and Brittany enough for all they did. Don't even think or blink twice about hiring them!

My friend and I were freaking out because every artist everywhere was so busy for prom and Leah was…read moreour savior! She was so accommodating on such a short notice, replied quickly to all my questions and she is super nice. Her home studio is adorable and everything was extremely clean. I had a full makeup/hair service and my friend had her hair done and all services for prom came out so beautiful! I just showed her some ideas and she played around with it and I was very pleased with how everything turned out! Plus she's a perfectionist so you won't leave without loving every aspect of your appointment! And it was cheaper than most of the other places I was considering, soooo happy I found her! Definitely will go back to her if I need to get all fancy in the future! Thank you Leah! :)

I never leave reviews, but I had to for Kelsey…read more My hair had been through a lot: old highlights, past color correction, color buildup, banding, and so many different shades throughout. I had been turned away before, and I had also gone to stylists who took me on but clearly did not really know how to handle color correction. So I was nervous to trust someone again. Kelsey was completely different from the beginning. Even before my appointment, she asked for photos, looked at my inspo, explained what would be realistic, gave me a clear estimate, and actually walked me through the plan. She was honest but never made me feel discouraged or like my hair was too much work. During the appointment, she knew exactly what she was doing. She did a color remover, high-lift color, toner, and haircut with no bleach, and got me so close to what I wanted, honestly even better. She also fixed my layers, and I didn't realize how much they needed help until she did them. Her mom was there too and was so sweet. The whole appointment had such good energy, and they made me feel really comfortable. My mom loved my hair so much that Kelsey ended up doing hers too the same day, even after everything she had already done for me. If you've had bad hair experiences, been turned away, or are nervous about color correction, go to Kelsey. She is talented, honest, patient, and really knows what she's doing. She deserves so much more recognition.

The whole process took about 4-5 hours but, it was worth it because I had dark hair. I kept getting COMPLIMENTS from all my piano students, family and friends... I never thought my hair could look this sexy! It felt so light and fluffy afterwards. She really took her time and showed a lot of PASSION in her work which is why I'm happy to take the time to write her a nice review... She is definitely the front runner of the salon and this salon was a hidden gem located between ROSS and KOHLS... I highly recommend Brandi! She will also GUIDE you on what products to use to keep your hair healthy before and after the appointment. I used the shampoo and conditioner she recommended and my hair started to shine and my scalp felt less dry and itchy... She really knows what she is doing and also TEACHES Balayage! I can't wait to get to do another session with her next time because I want to go even lighter for the Spring/Summer time! So happy I found her!

She's super knowledgeable and skilled, taking all the little details from my inspiration photos and bringing them to life in a way that felt very "me." I'm kind of scatterbrained and she was amazing at taking all my ideas, organizing them and executing exactly what I wanted. The whole time, it honestly felt like a friend was doing my hair and makeup for me, which made the experience so fun and stress-free. I was beyond happy with how everything turned out and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

Amber eliminated any stress I was having and scheduled a second hair trial for me to try out the up-do. She trimmed my hair during the trial so I had the framing in front of my face and I was obsessed. She has such a calming and warm energy that made working with her so easy. I had so many compliments on my wedding day and my hair withstood what ended up being a 113 degree day. It was absolutely amazing and all thanks to Amber! I couldn't recommend her enough!

I was hoping for a positive experience at Salon MK with Giselle Q, but I left very disappointed…read more The photos clearly speak for themselves but here's what happened-- When I first reached out to Salon MK in June, I was connected with Giselle and specifically requested a light brown, neutral balayage. We booked a balayage ($280) and a haircut ($85). I sent photos of my hair and several reference photos. During the appointment, she explained that balayage is essentially highlights, which made me a bit nervous, as I understand it to be more of a blended, ombré-style look. Still, I trusted her professional judgment. Unfortunately, the final result looked nothing like my reference photos..... The highlights leaned much more yellow and brown rather than the neutral tones I had requested, and they were also uneven, with some highlight sections noticeably thicker than others. The haircut itself was uneven, and the top layers were longer than the bottom section. She offered to fix it, which I appreciated, but by that point I already felt uneasy. I decided to give her a second chance since she was willing to fix the uneven haircut, so I went back in October for an all-over color before an important work event. I was very clear and specific about what I wanted and provided several reference photos beforehand- a dark, natural brown with subtle purple/reddish undertones. I explicitly asked to avoid black, copper, blonde, vivid red or purple tones, and NO highlights. We discussed this thoroughly, and I even said that if there was any hesitation, I'd prefer to play it safe with a darker brown balayage instead. Giselle reassured me she could achieve the color....... Unfortunately, the result was again nothing close to what I requested. My hair turned out coppery brown/red and still showed highlights, which I had specifically asked to avoid. I felt embarrassed going to my event with it. When I reached out the next day with photos, I was told that the custom conditioner I purchased should temporarily fix the issue. This was frustrating, as a conditioner with very minimal pigmentation shouldn't be relied on to correct a $165 color service, especially after I left a 20+% tip out of kindness. Overall, the results did not align at all with what we discussed or the reference photos I provided. My concerns weren't resolved, and I ultimately had to attempt to fix my hair myself before the event. Everyone's experience is different, but I wanted to share mine so others can make the decision that feels right for them and choose a stylist they feel 1000% confident with.

I was really looking forward to trying this salon, but booking an appointment with Vanessa has been…read morean adventure in itself. Over the past week, I've sent a DM on Instagram, called the salon and requested a callback twice, and even texted -- all with zero response. I get that it's the busy holiday season, but even a quick "we're fully booked" would've been so appreciated! I'm pretty particular about my hair and I did my homework before choosing this spot, so I was genuinely excited. I'm not one to leave a bad review, but the silence has been a little disappointing. My friends wedding is in a few weeks and without a haircut Im going to show up looking like Hagrid from Harry Potter

Hands down one of the BEST hair and makeup experiences we've ever had!…read more 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.

I found Thomas Edward Salon on Yelp after looking for a solid dry bar style service in Temecula. I…read morerecently 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.
