When you find someone who can do miracles with your hair, you remain loyal if you know what is good for you and your hair. In 2015, my hair was frizzy and damaged. After nine years of hair care with Michaela, my hair is healthy. Don't take my word for it. Check out the photos of my recent cut, color and style.

Michaela gave me the best, most thoughtful curly hair cut I have ever had. She took time to analyze…read moremy curl pattern and shared how she was going to go about cutting it based on that. My hair has 5 different curl patterns which makes it difficult to give an overall cut - Michaela nailed it. She also did two hair treatments - one clarifying, one hydrating and taught me how to properly care for and maintain my curls. I found my person I will absolutely continue to go to Michaela to keep my curls looking their best and recommend you do too if you're a curly haired person. She is the absolute best.

Ashley absolutely exceeded my expectations for wedding hair and makeup! She did my hair and makeup…read morefor both the Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Party and the wedding day, and calling her amazing would be an understatement. From our very first conversation, I knew she was going to be perfect! She was a genuine pleasure to work with from start to finish, and her care for her brides really comes through in everything she does! I can't stress that enough! It wasn't just my experience that was incredible, either. The team she brought in for the wedding day was wonderful too. With 15 women needing hair and makeup done (30 services total!), I of course expected some chaos, but everything ran smoothly and right on schedule. Every single person walked away thrilled with how they looked!! If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist and team for your wedding, Ashley is hands down the best choice you could make!! 10/10!!

I couldn't be happier with Ashley and her team! From the moment we met during our trial, she was…read morewarm, inviting, and had such a calming presence. She opened the door for feedback very early on to make sure I felt comfortable with making any tweaks to my hair and makeup. I wore extensions for the first time ever during my trial for the wedding. She understood exactly how to work with my hair (that hardly ever holds a curl) to extend the life of the curls over a long period of time. My makeup was perfect. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I wanted it to feel warm, but not glammy. I wanted to enhance my natural features and feel like "me." She pushed me a little outside of my comfort zone with a tone of lipstick during the trial that I ended up LOVING and it went so well with my dress, so we went for that color and it looked fantastic in all of the photos. Most importantly, on the wedding day, Ashley and her team were the first ones there setting up, and she was such a calming presence throughout the morning and helped make getting ready so much fun. Thank you so much, Ashley and team!

I found Sarah Nicole through Melissa Marie for my wedding in Big Sur. These ladies, like previous…read morereviews have said, are super sweet and fun and made me, my bridal party and my mom and step-mom feel gorgeous on my big day. Sarah Nicole had to navigate the young (one 13 year old), the older (me and my bridal party) and the wiser (all the moms). Everyone's make-up was spot on and age appropriate. She listened to everyone's needs and if someone wanted an adjustment, was totally open to making that happen. We all received so many compliments and I'm not sure I will look this good at any other time again in my life. Would totally recommend her to anyone - and I hope to get her down to LA someday to help work on some of my clients. Super professional with an amazing personality - you couldn't ask for a better pairing.

I was unable to see her for a few months and the grey really went crazy - I had about 6" of grey roots growing out from a great set of highlights. This time I saw Jennica, and she knocked it out of the park! It was quite a job not only covering the grey, but making the highlights look like my hair grows out like that naturally - quite a feat. And, not only did she do a KILLER job, but the price was totally reasonable. I was thinking I might have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. I'm thrilled with my hair and she deserves all of the 5 stars I'm giving her and The Last Resort.

I couldn't say enough GREAT things about Val and her team! I got married at the end of July, and we…read morehad a tough time finding someone to do hair and makeup. Luckily my planner found The Last Resort! I have long, straight hair that doesn't hold styles well, but I was intent on having romantic waves and curls on my wedding day. Val had me in the salon for a trial run on the day of our rehearsal dinner, and my hair held from about 10 in the morning, through the rehearsal dinner, and until I went to bed that night! The next day (wedding day!) Val and Judy (makeup) met me at the venue to get started. I had a couple of changes I wanted to make to my makeup, and Judy was very receptive and got me the exact look that I wanted. Meanwhile, Val got to work on my hair right away. She also did my (very shy) sister's hair and my (very emotional) mom's hair, and earlier that day had done hair for my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, and friend! I was a little worried about timing, but I sent everyone's requests to Val, and she worked everything out perfectly. My mom was really fretting about her hair, but Val was so reassuring. She is truly skilled at working with hair AND with people! She helped us all feel at-ease and made our hair look beautiful. I'm new to the area, so this also set me up with a great contact for future hair needs. ;) I've already been back to Val for a haircut!

My girlfriend has been going to Sarah for years and suggested I go see her. I talked to Sarah and she was great! She was super responsive and very willing to meet my scheduling needs, which is a huge plus for me. Sarah really took the time to understand my hairstyle and my preferences. She even went above and beyond to ask what products I was using and explained the product she was going to use to gel my hair. I was so impressed, I have changed my hair product to something Sarah recommended because it's so much better than what I've managed to find out in the wild. Sarah is the best and if you are not going to her now, you owe it to yourself to go see her.
