Non-traditional future bride here! I found Vanity Belle on Yelp. I booked my Bridal preview, which is basically a trial for the wedding. I paid $200 for the trial makeup for hair and makeup. I'm not a traditional bride by any means. I asked for bold, gothic makeup. Which I know, most brides go for natural makeup. I wanted smokey eyes and bold, wine lips. And a flawless, porcelain face. Basically, vampire makeup lol the airbrush makeup really took my interest as well. The shop is laidback, and all of the artists make you feel comfortable. Taylor was my artist. She was very friendly and listened to what I wanted. I asked for goth glam and she delivered. The makeup and hair both came out great. She did airbrush makeup and that was really fun to try out! Wedding day makeup and hair will be $450 on top of the $200 for the trial. read more

Vanity Belle saved the day! I needed a new hair and makeup team 6 months into wedding planning and I was terrified to find someone new! I had trials with Stephanie (hair) and Michelle (makeup) and instantly fell in love. I woke up on my wedding day second guessing my hair and makeup looks! I talked it out with both the girls and they agreed to go with my original visions. All of my bridesmaids loved their looks! My mom was hesitant to get fake lashes and she is still talking about how beautiful she felt that day. I was stressed out with the timeline of the wedding day and worried my hair and makeup wouldn't last, but I was proven wrong! I highly recommended Vanity Belle 10/10! read more

After the first fiasco I had trying to book hair and makeup for my wedding, Vanity Belle came in clutch! I know how difficult it can be having two brides but Jonathan was great with the initial communication and schedule. Danielle was a sweetheart not getting frustrated with multiple day of schedule changes after bridesmaids dropped off. Both myself and my bride looked amazing! Our hair by Denise staying in place for the entire day and throughout our all night dancing! Allison our makeup artist was perfect I asked for more of a natural look and she was able to accommodate everything I wanted. I'm not big on hair and makeup and they made it a smooth process from the beginning. Keep in mind there are extra changes for locations further out and early start times, but when it was all said and done a little over $2k with tip for 2 brides , 5 bridesmaids hair and 3 bridesmaid makeup services. read more

Vanity Belle was great to work with! The hair and make up artists are so easy to talk to and are so helpful to make sure we looked perfect for the day! Jennifer was a particularly amazing make up artist! You can tell she, and all of Vanity Belle, really love their brides. They were super open to doing anything me or my bridesmaids asked for. Everything went perfectly! read more

Aimee-Beth and Karissa were absolutely amazing!! Starting with my trial they were both so attentive and took the time to understand what I was looking for. They were happy to try different things to make sure everything was exactly how I envisioned. I have long thick hair and Karissa took her time and had so much patience and care with it. On the day of my wedding, they showed up on time and with such a calm demeanor. We were having some issues getting music going and Aime-Beth was prepared and quickly set something up. They both went above and beyond in making sure the vibe in the room was calm and positive and not chaotic or stressful. I had a large group and they stayed on schedule. They even finished a bit earlier than expected and took time offering touch ups. Thank you Vanity Belles for such a great experience. read more

Unfortunately, this is a 1 star review...If I could give it less than 1 star I would. I originally reached out to Vanity Belle via phone on 12/6 to request hair and makeup for 12/20. I left a detailed messaged and asked for a call back. On 12/7, I got a text asking me to go online which I did. I submitted my request and received a reply go online and submit my info again. I did it immediately and just waited. I was told that the date was available and that was confirmed online through their booking system. Finally on 12/13, I received another link to confirm my services. I followed the prompts and didn't hear back from them until later that day. I began to email back and forth with Jonathan Nino who is their Bridal Director. He asked for the times and I told him. Keep in mind, I'm assuming they are available like they previously stated. 2 days later on 12/15 he replies with "I'm sorry, I no availability for the 20th:(" that is a direct copy and paste from our email thread. So, now you aren't available when you said you were? I was counting on them and didn't contact anyone else for services. I asked if he had anyone else who might be available and the reply was curt. He just replied with "No:( Sorry!" No follow-up, no courtesy and completely unbothered. Thankfully I found someone MUCH better in my area who was polite, professional and answered quickly. At first I was so bothered by this but after looking at the reviews, I'm glad it didn't work out. I can't imagine having to deal with their unprofessionalism and sub par work. If Jonathan is a Director and this is the kind of customer service I'm receiving from the lead...no thanks. It's a hard pass for me. Lesson learned! Don't believe everything you see on Instagram. read more

TLDR: My trial was a failure on all levels (expectations, safety, results & experience) Expectations: I booked hair & makeup and was confirmed with two people, Michelle (makeup) & Krystal (hair). When I showed up, only Krystal was there with no explanation. On my wedding day, to stay on schedule, I need two people so this was an immediate problem. This felt like a bait & switch. Expectations part 2 & Safety: VB has a long list of COVID rules in their confirmation email, including wearing a mask at all times until makeup needs to be applied to the lower half of your face. None of the precautions were followed & for the majority of my appointment I was the only one wearing a mask. Krystal immediately told me I didn't need to wear one, then condescendingly said "you know you'll have to take it off anyway for makeup." Results: The hair could have worked, with some feedback. It's not full enough and it fell more almost immediately. Krystal curled, teased and then bobby pinned the style. I have thick, long, heavy hair so some sort of structure beyond bobby pins was needed (hidden braid maybe). The makeup was terrible. Not only did the foundation start to flake immediately, it looked nothing like my inspiration picture. The eyelids were just a wash of peachy color, no shading. She didn't bother to contour my face at all. My brows were barely touched. The lipstick clashed with the eye shadow. I felt at that point she just wanted the appointment to be over. Experience: I don't know if it was the mask thing or just a bad day, but Krystal barely talked to me during my 2.5 hours in the salon, including not asking much about my hair or skin. The skin situation clearly resulted in worse results (dry patchy areas immediately after application). The other bride doing a trial at the same time had two providers who were cheerful & chatty. That's the energy I need on my wedding morning. Overall: 1/10 what a waste of time & money. My biggest issue is the lack of follow through on what was promised (2 providers, COVID rules). Do what you say, say what you do. read more

Was sent a proposal from Jonathan (director) for pricing and when I asked for the contract he raised the cost of some line items without telling me and put a same day turn around requirement for me to sign, hoping I wouldn't notice. Stay away from this business for your wedding needs as they are not honest and not trustworthy. I feel bad for the makeup artists that work here as Jonathan is contributing to less income for the artists. read more

This team is perfect and exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day! Everyone involved was incredibly nice, accommodating, and easy to work with. A big shoutout to Aimee-Beth, Lana, and Taylor for all of their amazing work. They did just the right amount of glam without overdoing it, and my bridal party were all so happy!! Also it's the first wedding I've been a part of where the hair and makeup team actually finished early, with time to spare! I could not have asked for a better group of artists to help make my special day go that much smoother. Highly recommend. read more

I was a bridesmaid recently in a wedding and the bride hired Jennifer, Stephanie, and Taylor. Taylor worked on my hair and makeup and she had a terrible attitude the entire day. I felt like I was being scolded again and again even though we had plenty of time. I would not recommend her for happy occasions in the future. Such a buzz kill! read more

The artists at Vanity Belle did a fantastic job with the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids for the wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful we all looked and I felt like I got the wedding look I had envisioned perfectly! Stephanie and Jennifer did my bridal makeup and some of the other bridesmaids as well as Taylor did bridesmaids as well. My only negative was that a few of my bridesmaids told me that Taylor had a bad attitude when working with them. Otherwise, everything went smoothly and I would definitely recommend Vanity Belle for your bridal hair and makeup :) read more

Aimee-Beth ad Krystal were absolute dreams come true! They were professional, efficient, and fun to talk to while they did our hair and make-up. All of my bridesmaids and I pretty much looked the same from the beginning of the day to the end of the night -- no smudgy makeup, and no flat hair. Despite hugging dozens of guests and pressing the side of my head against a ton of shoulders, my curls held up all night! Krystal gave me tips on how to make my hair easier to work with, and did a fantastic job bringing my vision to life. And the makeup, OH, the makeup! Aimee-Beth did a great job accommodating my bridesmaids requests without letting us get too carried away. She communicated to us why she made certain decisions, explaining how well the make up shows up in photographs and how well it'd last through the night. We felt like princesses the whole night. Thank you so much, you two! read more

Firstly, I want to say that my makeup artist (Karissa Lorinne) and the hair stylist (Denise Sherri Anne) were awesome. I would highly recommend both of them! They did such a great job on my hair and makeup and that of my mom, and my sister-in-law. They also took the time to make my little niece feel comfortable and provide her with a little makeup and a braid for the wedding. She was being a bit difficult, but they were really patient with her. She was also not on the schedule, so they went out of their way to do this (I had paid for an additional person, but they are unable to attend, so the service itself was essentially paid for). While Karissa and Denise were great - the entire booking/scheduling system (Honeybook) with Jonathan was a bit unorganized. It was very difficult to find a time that worked and we traded a large number of emails back and forth. A phone call or an instant chat service might have been easier and more efficient. There was also an issue with me coming in for my bridal makeup/hair trial and my original makeup artist was unavailable (which was fine, it was an emergency), but Jonathan emailed me to tell me, rather than giving me a phone call to let me know. I was driving (hour and a half away) to the appointment when he emailed me, so I arrived to find out that I would not be able to get my makeup trial that day, which I had taken the day off from work for since it was rather far from my home. The scheduling issues and the lack of a phone call when my service was essentially cancelled is the reason why I am removing one star. read more

I am so happy I chose Vanity Belle for hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day! Not only did they make me feel like the most beautiful bride, but they made me comfortable every single step of the way as an out-of-town bride. My trial was done the day before our wedding, and after the trial they took the time to give me a unique style for my rehearsal dinner. Michelle and Jenny were so kind and really listened to what I wanted. My bridal party was also thrilled with their work. I'll also take this opportunity to shout them both out for maintaining the calm in the Get Ready Suite...their demeanors and lovely personalities kept things light and worry-free. Highly recommend!! read more

I am so grateful to have had Taylor, Krystal, Dannielle, and Jonathan as my wedding beauty team in May! Throughout all interactions, the entire team was responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Jonathan and Dannielle were extremely helpful with questions relating to the overall process, scheduling, etc. Taylor and Krystal were my hair and makeup artists for the bridal trial and wedding day. As someone who hasn't had professional hair/makeup services before, I was reassured that Taylor and Krystal could answer all my questions, help refine my vision, and easily adapt based on my feedback. They are both very talented artists and everyone (myself, mom, mother-in-law, five bridesmaids) was extremely happy with their final hair/makeup results. THANK YOU Vanity Belle for beautifying me and my loved ones on my special day! read more

EVERYTHING WENT WRONG AT MY WEDDING... Cake was plain... dj was busy eating or talking... all house lights were on during our first dance... Celine Dion was playing... just... WRONG. But I tell you WHAT! I... LOOKED... GOOOOOOOOOD! I've never felt so beautiful. Natalie and Kat have got to be the funniest and most perfect duo. The bridal trial is a must! I will give you that advice. I was matched with Kat and someone else. Let's call her... Voldemort. (I can't remember her name. Probably for the best.) Let's just say it wasn't a good match. I requested someone else and was blessed with Natalie. They redid the trial at no cost and it was just wonderful. Natalie changed things up at the first request and it was smooth sailing from then on. Kat was just always perfect. No issues there. I need her in my life. Natalie and Kat made me and my bridesmaids look amazing. I've never seen them take so many selfies, and they abused my Photobooth to the core. Thank you ladies SO much for doing such a great job. I STRONGLY recommend them both! read more

Karina is the only person who has cut my hair in the last 6 years! I haven't trusted anyone else to touch my hair since she started working on it! read more

I've known Karina for years & have never been more satisfied in giving her the opportunity to be the first one to ever get her hands on my hair. I honestly had doubts before booking with her since I've had damaged hair before (due to hair being done at home lol). My hair used to be shoulder length since it would rip out from how damaged it was. After 6-7 years of not touching my hair and of course because of aging/hereditary, I ended up getting a bunch of gray hairs (biggest insecurity) I gave my full trust to Karina & all I can say is Wow!!!!!! Her transformation has been amazing. I did let her do to my hair as she pleased and she amazed me at how well she knew my skin tone and knew exactly what color hair would go with me. I always feel like the most beautiful person after she's done. I travel over an hour each morning appointment I get just because I don't trust anyone out where I live.I've recommended so many friends & family to her and they all have the same reaction I do after sitting with Karina. If you ever have doubts please trust her. Can't wait to go back to her as soon as I have more grays I also added before and after pics to see the difference. I love both colors but I don't think I would go back to my natural hair color. Thank you karina for your art and always accommodating my morning appointments. read more

I had Vanity Belle do my hair and makeup trial for my wedding, some pre-wedding hair services, and day of bridal hair and makeup for myself, as well as bridal party hair and makeup for bridesmaids. I am extremely impressed and pleased with their service. They are very professional and also have a website with contracts that you digitally view and sign. The owner of the salon is very responsive and helpful with answering any questions that you may have. It is stressful to plan a schedule for multiple hair and makeup services but they made it as easy as it could be. Domenique is my favorite-she did my hair and make up trial and dealt with my dry, damaged and thick unruly lion's mane of hair, She did not rush or try to finish the trial or the day of without making me happy. This gave me peace of mind for the wedding day look. I suggest taking your hair peice, tiara or accessory with you to your trial so they can place it for you and take pictures so you know how it will look like on the day of. Also, if you want some pre-wedding highlights, cut, keratin treatments, or whatever else, they are a full salon so I can recommend their services in that aspect as well! On the day of the wedding, all artists arrived on time and were great at getting everyone ready. The only recommendation I would make is to give an hour of extra time leeway because people end up taking longer to get ready/services run over time from the 45 minute allotted time slot. Natalie and Domenique were both at the bridal suite and everyone was very happy with their hair and makeup service! Al lthe girls looked gorgeous. I was so extremely happy with how my hair and makeup stayed in place too ALL NIGHT! I danced and sweated a lot too, so that is quite an accomplishment. I would highly recommend them for any special occasion or wedding hair/makeup services. read more

I have been going to Karina for some time now. I've been blonde for about 3 years now and she took my hair through the process slowly without damaging it at all. Then durning the Christmas season she was completely booked and I made the mistake of going to someone else. And they completely ruined and burned my hair with 3 degree scalp burns. I called her crying and asked her to fix my mess and she was not only fixed my hair but she treated it helped me heal my scalp. read more

These words are from my wife. You did an amazing job. Michelle was our makeup artist and her work was absolutely beautiful. She did a phenomenal job perfecting the bride and the bridesmaid's hair and makeup. Our looks were breathtaking. All the stress and worry of getting ready was non existent. We felt like models and could see the reactions from all the guests as well. On top of that, Michelle was very friendly and so fun to work with. She made us feel very comfortable like we already knew her. We would definitely recommend your services to any other woman wanting to look fabulous. You made it very easy for us for the beginning to the end. Thank you Vanity Belle!! read more

I booked Vanity Belle for my wedding in November and all four stars are for the artist's work. They did a great job with the hair and make up for myself and my bridesmaids and a few additional family members. However, the owner, Jonathan, was insanely difficult to work with. The booking and scheduling process before the wedding was a nightmare. I very clearly stated what we needed done and there was miscommunication after miscommunication. The website he used to speak to me and make all transactions, honeybook, didn't work very well and he continuously used it to communicate with me. My first bridal trial was the first miscommunication, I made it clear that one of my bridesmaids is my hair stylist and that I only needed bridal make up and then hair and make up for my bridesmaids. But I show up for my make up trial and a hair stylist is there setting up. It didn't matter too much to me because the make up artist showed up shortly after but the hair stylist that showed up first thing on a Saturday morning for nothing didn't seem too pleased. I can't say whether I'd suggest them or not, because it worked out very well but the process was incredibly frustrating and no one needs that when planning a wedding. read more

Customer Service- the owner/manager who helped me with the short notice appointment a few days before the wedding also was so helpful in guiding and connecting me to Amanda.

I was at a café in LA when I spotted this pretty woman with a gorgeous bayalage. I stopped her and asked for the name of her stylist, and she said she happened to be the owner of Vanity Belle Salon. She told me it was in Tustin but that it was worth the drive. I laughed and said "Well, thanks anyway but that's way too far." And I walked away to get some work done. But when I looked down at my bayalage turned into a hideous burnt orange, and looked up again and saw her fabulous brown/blonde bayalage, I couldn't help but admire it. Yes, it was THAT pretty. So I went back up to her and asked for the name of someone who could fix the orange situation, and without skipping a beat she said "Ask for Kaity." Kaity is in high demand. She is actually the one dealing with your hair from the time you walk in until when you leave. She doesn't tell her assistant to curl this and her shampoo girl to wash that while she cuts someone else's hair in between. She is all yours, and you will be SO BLESSED to have her work her magic on your hair. You'll be hard pressed to find someone like her in the beauty industry with that level of talent but as lovely of a personality as she has. Kaity does a thorough consultation, asks you about the history of your hair, studies the texture, assesses the situation, and then she tells you what she wants to do without overpromising on results. She is extremely attentive to detail, takes her time, and has the perfect touch when she handles your hair. She even gives you after-care instructions and follows-up with you. The one request I had was no orange cuz I want my sexy back! That same night I had a wedding to attend, and I got compliment after compliment on my renewed balayage. God bless Kaity! Whether you have had a bad bayalage that needs correction, or you want a haircut from a fashionable expert, or you are looking for your go-to stylist you can trust, I have no hesitation in recommending Kaity. I saw a wedding party getting their hair and make-up done in there, and they all looked like they could hop on the red carpet. There is an extremely high caliber of talent at Vanity Belle which explains why this salon has 5 stars solid. read more

I have used Vanity Belle for countless events including my wedding, birthday, Valentine's Day, date nights, and girls night out. They ALWAYS do an amazing job! I recently had my hair and make-up done for my 20-year high school reunion. Talk about perfectionist - she listened to every detail of my request and, when she was finished, everything looked amazing! The ladies of Vanity Belle Boutique are the best that OC has to offer - their services are exquisite! For my wedding, I came in with pictures of exactly what I was looking for and they were able to re-create the look based on my skin tone and hair color so it was 100% complimentary to my look. The trial went great and their little boutique with the bridal suite and unlimited champagne made for quite the morning to remember! I was hoping that everything would turn out just as perfect for the wedding day as it had for the trial and they didn't disappoint! Meghan and Kat were awesome! I will continue to use them again for any hair and make up services. The owners are equally as awesome. Thank you for all that you do to help a girl feel and look beautiful. read more

I came here with just a simple idea of having a vintage look to complement my old hollywood dress but I left with was a complete transformation thanks to Kaity and Natalie! Kaity did my hair which was a vintage wave look with a side part and it came out better than I could have ever imagined! The part and the pouf and the waves were great and she made sure they were perfect in a very short amount of time! Natalie did my makeup and it was beyond gorgeous. I was in love with everything from the dark lips to the blended eye shadow perfection to the highlighting! Everything from the hair with the pouf to the makeup was on point!! Not only were they super attentive and professional , asking what I wanted each step of the way but making suggestions and spent how ever much time was needed to make everything perfect (Kaity even helped with choosing the lip color and it came out amazing), but they were also super nice and hilarious!

This review is for Samantha Yujuico and Diane Caranica. I went in for my bridal hair and make-up trial. These girls were the sweetest and made sure I liked how my hair and makeup came out! I showed Sam a picture of how I wanted my hair and it came out great!!! I wasn't sure if how I wanted my makeup but Sam and Diane had an idea from how I described it so Sam pulled a picture from online and Diane did a great job making sure the shadow was perfect for a day into night wedding. She also did a great job applying the lashes. She uses only the best makeup out there! Although I must say when I got into my car and took a closer look the foundation on my face did look really cakey and even left me with frown lines so I just had to wipe some off, I think I'll go with airbrush which is a $10 add on but worth it if you want to look great in pictures and in person on your wedding day. I'm definitely booking these two ladies for my wedding ! read more

I cant believe its been 4 years since I last updated my review. I have been a loyal client of Victoria since she conceptualized this business. The salon is small, intimate and perfect. I don't like the buzz of large salons because they tend to feel like big money machines. This salon is feminine and chic. More importantly, when you walk in, you feel comfortable. I've had blow-outs, make up applications and my hair cut and colored. I am super picky about anyone who touches my hair, and kaity is a master. She makes my brown hair look flawless. Even more, the salon is eco friendly from their use of colors to the organic hair products. The icing, champagne popping in the background. This is a great salon, with amazing customer service and I am so happy that I have seen this biz flourish over the years. read more

First off I would give them more than 5 stars but I can't click more on here. The service from beginning to end was perfect. Communication was constant from the first inquiry. I booked last minute but it didn't matter. They worked around my work schedule and got everything. I had 10 bridesmaids and each one raved about their makeup all day. Everyone's makeup stayed put all night long. I never even had to powder my nose. The artists were so sweet. I left thinking wow I plan on keeping in touch with them lol.

I heard about the grand opening of Vanity Belle this weekend and took a chance. I do not take chances ever with my hair, and decided to be bold and go for a reddish/ copper reverse ombre for a fall makeover. Kaity took care of me, and I have never been treated like such a queen! First of all she offered me a glass of champagne, or a beer to get started. Um, yes please, made me wish I had my girlfriends with me. Champagne always makes for the cherry on top for a perfect girls night, c'mon ladies! Not only did Kaity get the color I have had in my mind perfect, talk about a 'bombre,' but she created my first experience at Vanity Belle so warm and welcoming. My boyfriend came to keep me company and he goes "It is like walking into a faitytale!" Ladies- this is heaven on earth, and I recommend this gorgeous, hidden gem for any beautifying needs!! I have always either been let down, not treated right, or upset with my initial color job, but not this time.Thank you SO MUCH Kaity and Vanity Belle for restoring my faith, you have officially made me a for-lifer!!

I booked here for some primping before my 20 year high school reunion. Using the website was easy, and I booked for a Southern Belle with Toni, and Le Bombshell with Laura. It is a little tricky to find, but the instructions are printed on the website and you can call...it's not rocket science. It's behind the Irvine Ranch Market, plenty of parking on the back side where you enter. The shop is super cute, very clean and nicely designed. I drove for 90 minutes in traffic to get to OC for my appt, so the glass of champagne they offered me was much appreciated! The shop was empty, there was a wedding booked that day so all the other stylists were on location for that. It was nice having the place to myself! My mom stopped in to visit while I got myself all done up, Laura and Toni were both very friendly and fun to talk with. My mom is going to book an appt herself for a new hairstyle! Thanks Vanity Belle, I looked great....I stepped out of the elevator when arriving my 20 year reunion, immediately saw a guy I went to school with (a gay guy, they have the best style and can appreciate personal grooming) and he gave me a hug and told me I was "absolutely flawless" MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!! See pics, I loved my look! *** my lashes stayed on all night, and I slept in them and they still stayed on! My hair even looked good the next day still! read more
