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.

Lisette's bio read like a dream, and I felt confident booking with her even before reaching out. She helped me choose the right service through her online booking, and I was able to come in the very next day. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. She encouraged me to relax and listen to my audiobook, with absolutely no pressure to make conversation. I almost fell asleep during the foil process, which says everything about how peaceful the experience was. Afterward, Lisette generously offered a complimentary bottled water and a Starbucks espresso, which was such a thoughtful touch. I asked to try a 90's blowout at the end, and it turned out beautifully. I also mentioned that I use K18, and she seamlessly incorporated bond repair into my wash. No trim was needed at the end of the appointment--no split ends! I left feeling refreshed, cared for, and confident in my hair. I will absolutely be back. Thank you so much, Lisette!

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!

Jessica did an amazing job on her hair and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. She was friendly, fun to talk to, and made conversation feel easy and natural, which helped create such a relaxed atmosphere. She really listened to what was wanted and paid attention to every detail. The braided style blended perfectly into the curls and ponytail, and the final look was beautiful, elegant, and photographed so well. She left there with a big smile and said she felt so pretty! Her makeup turned out gorgeous, unfortunately I do not remember the lady's name, but she was terrific. My son's gf had picked out a look she wanted, the makeup artist did mention that the look would be dark and they could start light and go darker if needed. She was absolutely amazing with makeup and truly a wizard with the brushes. Her blending skills were incredible, and she really knew how to enhance features without making the makeup feel heavy or overdone. The final look was soft and natural, while still giving that glamorous polished finish perfect for a special event. She created such a beautiful balance between elegant and effortless. Everything stayed comfortable and secure throughout the event. The makeup lasted and did not smudge or smear off. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and the makeup artist to anyone looking for hair styling services and makeup for an event. We would definitely come back to here again!

They also have a little bar with tea, coffee and bottled water they offer to guests. The staff here all seem as warm, knowledgeable and attentive as Becca and are highly professional stylists. I have also seen balayage service be pretty high in some salons but it was really affordable. Thank you for making me look so pretty!

This review would have been 5 stars if not for my initial experience…read more for the school for Andrew I drove from Los Angeles for a 4:30 PM appointment and arrived early. Unfortunately, my original barber did not show up until around 4:50 PM. When I politely asked what happened, his response came across as dismissive and unprofessional rather than acknowledging the delay. After driving all the way from LA and waiting well past my appointment time, that was disappointing. That said, I want to give a huge shoutout to Uriyah (I may be misspelling his name). When I explained the situation and requested a different barber, he handled everything professionally, respectfully, and without hesitation. The school was extremely busy, but he listened and found a solution. I was reassigned to Andrew, and Andrew was absolutely 5 stars. He was friendly, professional, attentive, and gave me one of the best haircuts I've had in a long time. We had great conversations throughout the appointment, he made me feel comfortable, and he was incredibly kind to my dog as well. His attention to detail, positive attitude, and genuine care for his craft completely turned the experience around. So while I'm giving the school 4 stars because of the initial appointment experience, Andrew personally earned 5 stars from me. He completely salvaged the visit, and I'd happily book with him again. Thank you to Andrew and Uriyah for turning a frustrating start into a great experience.

I went to Paul Mitchell Beauty School in Temecula yesterday for what I thought would be a very…read morebasic service, a trim with long layers. Before my appointment, I understood I would be working with students, not licensed professionals, so I was patient and had realistic expectations. What I did not expect was to spend 4.5 hours in the chair for such a simple service. I made it very clear from the beginning that I am pregnant, did not want to be sitting for hours, and most importantly, wanted to keep my length. My hair was extremely long, it reached my thighs, and I specifically asked for it to stay around my lower back with just a trim and layers. Instead, my hair was cut to below my shoulders. That is not a trim. Going from thigh-length hair to below my shoulders is a drastic change, and once that hair is gone, there's no fixing it. What made the situation even more concerning was that after already cutting off so much of my hair, the student who was originally assigned to me admitted that she was scared to continue. She repeatedly said she needed to find the instructor, Mel, for help because she wasn't confident in what she was doing. Hearing that after so much of my hair had already been cut was incredibly alarming. If she wasn't confident, I wish someone had stepped in much sooner before so much irreversible damage had been done. To make matters worse, it took four additional instructors trying to "fix" my hair, and after all that time, I still left incredibly unhappy. During the process, one stylist even told me I was "extra emotional because I'm pregnant." That comment was completely dismissive and unprofessional. I wasn't upset because I'm pregnant, I was upset because my hair was cut far shorter than what I explicitly requested. What disappointed me the most was the lack of guidance from the instructors. I understand this is a learning environment, but instructors are there to supervise and step in when things are going wrong. Instead of being honest and correcting the mistakes, they continued encouraging the student by saying the haircut looked "fantastic," even though it clearly wasn't what I had asked for. To make this experience even more upsetting, I had my maternity photoshoot scheduled for the very next day. I had been growing my hair for years, and now I have to look back on those once-in-a-lifetime photos feeling self-conscious about a haircut I never wanted. I understand students need real clients to learn, and I truly wanted to support them. However, clients also deserve to have their requests respected and to receive proper supervision when a student is struggling. Unfortunately, this experience left me very aggravated, and I cannot recommend this location based on how my situation was handled. I don't even want to post the before and after picture because I hate it so much!
