Makeup near San Gabriel

“First time here. I had recently got back from Japan followed by a crazy work week. I needed someone to help me look alive for a wedding down in SD. I reached out just a couple days before the wedding. Angela responded back quickly and did a wonderful job with my hair and make-up.“

“Booking Brides Nest was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I first noticed that the owner, Stephanie, works a lot with our photographer, @antonioprophoto. Because our photographer was such a joy to work with, we had a feeling Stephanie would be amazing as well. Her Instagram account showed pictures of beautiful brides with soft glam makeup. As soon as I visited her website, I knew that she was not only a talented makeup artist but also an organized, transparent business owner. She made her pricing readily available (I didn't have to contact her separately about it), and I was able to instantly figure out if she was available on our wedding day. The booking process alone made it easy for me to decide to work with Brides Nest.

I was able to schedule my trial on the day of my engagement photo shoot. Stephanie listened to my thoughts on the soft glam look I would like for myself, asked me how my makeup looks on a daily basis, and took into consideration the type of makeup I do not prefer. She was down-to-earth and fun to chat with! It was clear that she enjoys what she does, which goes a long way when you book any vendor. Thanks to Stephanie, my makeup looked amazing in all the photos, and it lasted several hours without requiring a touch-up. This definitely helped because we did our shoot at Griffith Observatory around sunset and dusk, so I had no time to look at myself. My hair stayed put throughout the entire session as well. I appreciated that she recommended using extensions.

We still have a few months to go for our wedding, and working with Stephanie is making the process much less chaotic for us. She is quick to respond to all of our questions. She was more than happy to schedule another trial session for me because I'm still not sure if I want to put my hair up or down on the big day. She'll also be doing a trial for my husband.

We're looking forward to seeing how gorgeous everyone will look on our wedding day!“

“Angela is a wonderful make up artist! She did the make up for my wedding reception. I appreciate the time she took to understand what I wanted and made my vision come to life. I don't wear much make up on a daily basis so I appreciated her guidance and suggestions for making me look my best on my special day. As a woman of color my greatest fear was having foundation that did not match my skin tone. She was able to blend the perfect foundation match and relieved all my fears. Angela is very professional, punctual, and talented- everything you want for your big day.“

“I recently came here to get a hair cut and touch up on my balayage. Maria was so welcoming. As soon as you enter, you will notice the super warm and clean environment. I typically have super long thick hair, but it literally felt a pound lighter after my hair cut. Maria is also the coolest person you will meet and she is always asking you on what you think about it. She truly think about you and I definitely have my fair share of horror stories of salon. Some people will cut your hair 5 inches when you really only wanted 2 inches. Maria will show you and ensure you feel comfortable about it. She is amazing!!“

“Stacy is amazing! Found her on FB social media and took a leap of faith and decided to give her a try since she's local to me. Thank goodness I did. She was upfront with me and was so confident in achieving the color I was looking for. She even mentioned of her tips and tricks that I would have never known about. That tells me some other stylists can be lazy and not put in the work to achieve the best results. An even added bonus was finding out that she knew the same people I knew. No wonder the vibes were right! Thank you Stacy!“

“I have so many good things to say about this salon!! I first came to this salon after a DISASTROUS haircut that left me in tears, but Amanda was able to take it and create a style that I loved!! essentially SAVING my life!!!!! I have been coming ever since!!! Amanda has been the only hairdresser I’ve seen that is able to bring the visions that I see in my head to life!! I have always wanted fun cuts and vivid colors in order to feel my authentic self and finding this salon has been my saving grace!! the entire atmosphere within the salon is so comfortable and calm, everyone is so nice and conversation flows seamlessly which always makes for a great day in the salon!! all hair stylist are very good and friendly highly recommended!:)“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Grace. As a makeup novice, I was nervous about finding someone who could help me create a natural look that suited my skin color, skin type, facial features, and makeup style. Grace exceeded all expectations!

Her in-depth consultation and tailored makeup lesson were both informative and enjoyable. Grace broke down every step of the process clearly and patiently. She demonstrated techniques on one side of my face and then guided me as I tried the other side. I even got to record videos to reference later.

She also provided a detailed list of all the products she used and expertly recommended several high-end makeup brands like Giorgio Armani, Charlotte Tilbury, and Tarte. Her product recommendations have completely transformed my skincare and makeup routine.

Grace is not only a talented makeup artist but also a kind and supportive person. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect products and tools. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to enhance their daily look, or achieve flawless makeup for any special occasion.“

“Eileen was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and really listens to all your concerns and issues. I love the way my hair came out! I will definitely be coming back for my hair care needs.

Hair type: I have curly hair

Stylist: Eileen“

“Loved my hair by Armine! She did an amazing job on my half up- half down look for a birthday party. Exceptional service and she's so kind too and gives you coffee! Will be coming back !!!“

“I have had the pleasure of having Lola do a number of her services on me. She's provided me hair and makeup multiple times for photo shoots. I have done the Brujeria package she offers. I have also had cupping done by her. Each time, each session, I leave with a smile on my face. I plan on continuing to go to 1 stop beauty bar for all my body, hair, and make up needs. I love the way I look and feel when I leave her.“

“Very friendly and always does a great job cutting my hair. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“I am surprised that yelp does not have more reviews for this place. I was very lucky to have a found Lizi's studio on Google. I was searching for Photo Studios that did traditional Chinese photography and costumes that were very popular in Temple city over 15 years ago. But those places have all since closed. I wanted to plan out a photo shoot with my mom and my sisters for Mother's Day. And Liz was so kind to accommodate us and we had a lot of fun. We spent the entire day shooting all sorts of backdrops in our Shanghai qipao dresses. I plan to go back next year on my own to do Hanfu style photos. Liz's photoshop skills are also top notch. If you let her know exactly what you want fixed, she will make you look like an empress! The VIP service is worth it!“

“Marie is AMAZING! I just got my hair done by her, and I'm obsessed! She totally got what I wanted and made my hair look so good. From the minute I sat down, she was super friendly and made me feel at ease.
She really listened to what I wanted. The whole process was so smooth, and she explained everything she was doing. The cut and color turned out exactly how l imagined.
Marie's got such a talent for this, and you can tell she loves what she does. If you need a new hairstylist, go see Marie! She's the best!“

“Zhanna is the Master of all Masters with hair extensions. The quality of hair amazed me and she was able to put them in so quickly and with no seams. She makes me love my hair.“

“Suzy is the bestest hair stylist I have been with! She is the sweetest, most patient and she explains every process when I ask her. She is amazing!!“

“This place is awesome for a quality brow wax! Booking the appointment was super easy on their website and their salon is so cute. Alicia did an amazing job on my eyebrows and her professionalism and attention to detail was top notch.“

“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Balqees for my clothing brand’s photoshoot. It was an amazing experience, she is dedicated, talented, and such a delight to work with. Her work is impeccable and she made every one of my models feel special. I would highly recommend her service!“

“Ashley aka (@barriosbeauty) Always kills it with my hair shes super communicative, focused and kind! she also gives the best hair washes (: so relaxing and smooth i always feel refreshed at the end of it all. Super great salon and i love that they don’t use harsh chemical products. would reccomend and will be returning forever ! if i can give 10 star i definitely would.“

“This review is long overdue. Rocco's is a life/hair saver! Backstory-My teenage son who had medium short hair wanted to try a shorter haircut, think Keanu Reeves 90s hair to Milo Ventimiglia mid short hair. We went to a franchise salon and showed the "stylist" what he wanted and said no clippers. Welp, he came out with short uneven hair and she even used clippers on the sides ‍. My son was tear filled and devastated. What else does a mother do but search neighborhood Facebook groups for recommendations. ROCCO kept coming up so I gave them a call and booked an appointment. I really didn't see how my son's hair could be fixed and my son didn't see how it could be any shorter without buzzing it. Our Experience at Rocco's - Anthony listened to our concerns and examined my son's hair. He spoke to my son about his plan and talked him through every step of the way, always waiting for my son ok. He truly helped ease my teen's anxiety. He was truly magic with his skills. My son looked in the mirror and his smile returned. Anthony fixed his hair and restored his confidence. AFTER 5 MONTHS his hair grew out perfectly! Do not hesitate, book now!“

“Delighted to have found her, Rosi is the best stylist, I love how she cuts and does my hair.
God bless you.“

“I was tired and had yet to wash my hair and face after my flight to Los Angeles, so I wasn't quite prepared to get my makeup.Despite this, Jessica Lee helped me look my best for my passport photo that I'd be taking at the sort of next door Photo House. I think. My glasses were off during the beautifying process and I felt awkward looking in the mirror.Still would recommend.Service: Photography makeup“

“Amazing experience!! Seamless booking process and staff is very nice. When you check in for your appointment, there's complimentary water and teas! I've had a shoulder-length haircut with Amanda twice now, and had such a positive experience. I showered her reference pictures from Pinterest both times, and she guided me throughout the whole hair cutting process with recommendations and an attention to detail like no other. I will be back :D Great vibe with high-quality products! Parking is metered outside and plenty available outside“

“Shauna is the best beautician in Los Angeles. I've known her for over 10 years, and all my eyelash extensions, eyebrow microblading , eyeliner, and lip tattoos were done by her. She's very professional, skilled, has a high aesthetic sense, most importantly she is reliable and responsible. I'm very satisfied with her services and would highly recommend her.“

“I've been to some well known salons for highlights or balayage and showed them what I want but I ended up with some other color shades until I came to this salon and saw Ania's work. She is an artist meaning she knows the colors and what you exactly want and if it matches with you. I'm a picky person when it comes to my hair and I wanted a blended natural dark blonde and she did exactly what I wanted !!!! Very well done Ania !!!! She also recommended a shampoo she uses and it's really good .I highly recommend her !!“

“I went to see Olivia for a facial, and I loved everything about the whole experience. Her space is beautiful and has a soothing ambiance. The facial itself was amazing. I have sensitive, acne-prone skin, that needed deep cleansing. She was able to help clarify my skin without making it feel irritated! She also gave me a lymphatic drainage facial, neck & shoulder massage that I’ve never experienced before! My skin feels so much better now, and my friends also noticed my skin was glowing! I will definitely be going back regularly!“

“Very good! And cheap! Nice parking! Friendly everyone! I like very much! See you soon“
