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!

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this experience absolutely deserved one…read more As a postpartum mom, my hair has truly been through the wringer. Between postpartum shedding and not stepping foot in a salon for years, I was honestly nervous about trusting someone with my hair. I spent a lot of time reading reviews before booking with Expert Hair Care by Ayeshia in Temecula, and I'm so glad I decided to experience it for myself. From the moment I arrived, Ayeshia greeted me before I even walked through the door, and I immediately felt welcomed. That level of hospitality continued throughout my entire appointment. She made sure I was comfortable, had snacks available, checked in on me throughout the service, and created such a relaxing environment. It never felt rushed, and I truly felt like she cared about me, not just my appointment. I have 3C hair, and she gave me a thorough wash, protein treatment, steam treatment, trim, and style. What stood out most was how much she prioritizes healthy hair. She carefully assessed both my hair and scalp, explained exactly what they needed, answered my questions, and gave thoughtful, personalized recommendations. I never felt like she was being pushy or trying to sell me services. Instead, I felt like I was receiving honest advice from someone who genuinely wants her clients' hair to thrive. I've also seen Ayeshia's work on other women, especially her K-tip extension installations, and they are absolutely beautiful. The blends are so seamless that you genuinely cannot tell where their natural hair ends and the extensions begin. The transformations are flawless, and seeing that level of work only confirmed that I was in the right chair. Like a lot of people, I read the reviews before booking. I even read the lower-rated ones. After experiencing Ayeshia's service for myself, I'd simply encourage people to form their own opinion because my experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Every situation is different, but I can honestly say she exceeded my expectations. Leaving the salon with healthy, refreshed hair made me feel like myself again. As a postpartum mom, that meant more than I can express. Sometimes it's about so much more than just getting your hair done. It's about walking out feeling confident, refreshed, and cared for. If you're looking for someone who is professional, knowledgeable, genuinely invested in healthy hair, experienced with textured hair, and provides outstanding customer service, I wholeheartedly recommend Expert Hair Care by Ayeshia. I've absolutely found my hairstylist, and I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. Thank you, Ayeshia, for taking such incredible care of my hair and making me feel so welcomed. It was exactly the experience I needed.

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!

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.

From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable and really took the time to understand what my hair needed. My hair had gotten so overgrown and heavy, but Kelsey worked her magic and completely transformed it. The cut is fresh, light, and so flattering--exactly what I needed but even better than I imagined. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. Her attention to detail and skill really show in the final result. I walked in feeling overdue for a fix and walked out feeling confident, refreshed, and loving my hair again. If you're on the fence about booking with Kelsey--do it. I took the chance based on reviews and it turned out to be one of the best hair decisions I've made! Thank you again Kelsey!

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.

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.
