I LOVE Stacey -- not only did she talk to me about Harry Potter and cats, but she also made me feel…read morebeautiful on my wedding day. Double-win. I had never had my hair or my make-up professionally done in the past, so I had no idea what the experience would be. I'm sure I was a bundle of nerves when Stacey showed up for my trial (which I highly recommend doing!), but there was honestly nothing that I should have worried about. Stacey is an expert at highlighting your natural beauty; I never felt like any part of me was being hidden under heavy makeup. I was authentically me at my wedding, and that was so wonderful. Stacey also worked with me to make sure I was pleased with my makeup and hair and was happy to make any small tweaks to my look. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and her team arrived early and worked efficiently to make sure myself and my bridal party were done on-time for pictures before the ceremony. We had such a fun time with Stacey and her team, listening to music and chatting. It definitely helped me settle down before seeing my husband for the first time! As an extra bonus, my hair and make-up lasted throughout the warm June day and through all the dancing I did at the reception! I am so grateful to Stacey for helping me feel confident and beautiful on this important day.

I have been an event director and wedding planner for 15 years. When my time came this year to wed,…read moreI was particular in what I wanted and needed to work with a professional person that I may rely on explicitly. Stacey... is an absolute unicorn. She is one of the most professional vendors I have worked with in SD. She is responsive, fair, well-priced, kind, humble, easy-going and most importantly... excellent in her craft. I asked Stacey for a sun-kissed, California girl look and she made all my bridesmaids and me look like we just stepped off the beach. What makes Stacey unlike most make-up artists (...and so, so special) is her ability to create any look you desire. Most artists have one or two makeup looks they have mastered and stick to them (hence so many pictures of brides look the same). Stacey actually listens, takes notes, photos and guides you with her knowledge on how to get the look you want. She is also so funny and cool, you literally want to add her to the bridal party on your wedding day. Thank you Stacey for being so awesome.

I wish Sara could do my hair and makeup every day! I was so blessed to be able to book her for…read morehair and makeup for my wedding in April. I stumbled on her Instagram page one day and instantly knew--that's EXACTLY what I want! She was so fast to answer my questions, flexible, and has great communication. Plus, her IG/website are an incredible wealth of knowledge and information on what to expect. I am someone who is more quiet and I never do my makeup or style my hair. I was able to set up a trial for both services and she was able to walk me through the entire process. It was so much fun! We got to experiment with colors, she got me a perfect match for extensions, and you could just tell she was in her element. I LOVED the trial hair and makeup. On the wedding day...I was blown away. Sara is an artist. I don't know if I'll ever look that good again. She took all the feedback from the trial and just executed everything perfectly. No notes. *Get the extensions, you won't regret it.* She came to our hotel, fully set up with a great playlist and went to work. She also did my (13yo) stepdaughters hair and makeup and I cried when I saw it. She was beautiful and Sara kept the style appropriate for her outfit and age. I'd also like to note its like having your girlfriend doing your hair, she is such a warm presence and fun, she kept me focused with tasks when I started pacing around haha. We had some family drama and she was right there to help if needed. She understood our needs and wants and went above and beyond. That said as well, Sara is a professional and has everything well laid out, documents all the details so its a stress free day, she's got a huge portfolio and her prices are an absolute steal for the services she provides. I could go on forever, I was so pleased, its exactly the experience you want trust me. REMEMBER, you're getting your photos taken all day, you want to look fabulous so you, friends, and family can look back at those pictures for a lifetime. I felt so beautiful and my hair and makeup stayed put the whole day. My husband loved it. I got tons of compliments all day and still am now on how good of a job Sara did. I would 10/10 recommend Sara at Hairspray Studio to everyone!!

What went well? Everything! I found Sara on Instagram during my search for a stylist who can do…read moreHollywood glam waves. I had a trial with Sara months before my wedding and I fell in love! Showed her an inspo picture on Pinterest and referenced work she did before and she nailed it. Not only was her work amazing, her vibes were unmatched. I knew instantly this was my stylist. I asked her to send the contract immediately! Days before my wedding, I wasn't sure what earrings to wear and I asked Sara what she thought about 2 different earrings and she was honest about how it'd probably get tangled in my hair. Best advice a stylist can give you, because I listened and decided to wear my other option and have no regrets. Wedding day, Sara was on time, prepared and came with her amazing playlist. I ended up deciding with a different style than what I did at my trial. Again, I sent Sara my inspo photo a few weeks before and told her I think this style would match my personality a lot more and she agreed and delivered. I had no doubt about the results and she did not disappoint. Although I loved the Hollywood glam waves I did at my trial, I am still obsessed with my glam waves for my wedding. My hair held the entire day/night. I probably would have woken up to perfect hair if I weren't sweating and dancing the way I did. I'm not even embarrassed to say this, I look at my photos of my hair daily since my wedding day. Hands down to the best in the game, I'll be looking forward to the next event (or excuse ) where I can have Sara do my hair again. Thank you, Sara!

We hired Brenda to do an updo for my daughter's prom. Not only did she bring my daughter's vision of an updo to life but she also provided suggestions based on how thick my daughter's hair is and her red dye. We appreciated her suggestions. The entire process was seamless. I found her online and within minutes we had an appointment set. Note: she does not accept walk-ins, this is an appointment-only type of service. The location itself is a quaint little spot with different businesses all in one building and it has a nice waiting area. Parking is limited but there is plenty of street parking since the building sits on a corner. I highly recommend Brenda for your updos. Her price was fair ($115) for the updo that my daughter was requesting. I believe she also offers makeup, lashes and waxing services (which I hope to check out in the near future).

Lulu uses the best quality (and best smelling) products on the market. I usually go in for a trim and a smoothing mask. During my appointments, Lulu is always sure to consult me before starting any process. She explains what she is doing and why. I love that! At my last appointment, Lulu walked me through the Keratin treatment she used and explained its benefits. My hair has never been so polished and easy to style. I can still wear it curly, but going straight has been made so much simpler... drying time/styling time has been cut in half! So HAPPY!!! Bridal Hair & Makeup: I had the pleasure of working with Lulu on my wedding day. She did an outstanding job! I wanted a vintage look. Lulu accomplished just that. My skin looked flawless, and although it was much more makeup than I ever wear on a day to day basis, it did not feel heavy or cakey. In addition to doing my hair and makeup, she did my bridal party's hair and makeup (Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride, two bridesmaids, and a flower girl). Everyone looked stunning and we were on time! Just writing this makes me want to look for any excuse to get dolled up, so I can book an appointment with Lulu ASAP!
