Makeup in Santa Barbara

“I cannot recommend the NV Glam team enough! Lucy did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she was absolutely incredible. I was a little nervous because I don’t usually wear much makeup and really wanted to look like myself. Lucy listened so carefully to everything I was hoping for and absolutely nailed it. She created a natural but polished look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Lucy was additionally so kind, calming, professional, and wonderful to spend the morning with.

Daisey and Alicia took care of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and everyone was so happy with how they looked. They were incredibly professional, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed atmosphere.

The entire team exceeded our expectations. Getting ready was truly one of my favorite parts of the day and it is thanks to how smoothly they ran the morning. I highly recommend this team!“

“I cannot recommend Ms. Jennifer enough! I went to her for my bridal waxing right before my 5-day Indian-Chinese wedding, and she was an absolute dream. From the moment I walked in, her energy was so warm, calming, and grounding; exactly what a stressed bride needs. We instantly clicked, and it turns out we’re both Santa Barbara natives!

Not only is she incredibly professional and an amazing communicator, but her technique is flawless. Her waxing strips were genuinely painless, efficient, and meticulous. She even surprised me with a mini service for free as a sweet wedding gift! My only regret is that I didn’t find her sooner (if I had, I honestly would have considered booking her as my wedding makeup artist too). Do yourself a favor and book with her immediately!“

“Lizzie is the sweetest, most professional lash tech I’ve ever had!! She cares so much about her clients and does such a great job. She doesn’t rush and takes her time doing the job. Her salon is so pretty, so clean, and I couldn’t imagine going elsewhere.“

“Yolanda is amazing and I have been going to here for the past 4 years for my waxing treatments and massages. She is professional and knows what she is doing, but also is very personal and likes to have fun! I would highlight recommend coming to Spa Escape for any treatment.“

“I have only the highest praise for the services I’ve received from Hair by V. Being a cosmetologist myself, I am very particular about who works on my hair and how I want it done. Vanessa is such a perfectionist and such a pro. After losing my long time hairdresser a few years ago, I’ve struggled to find the right person. I feel so fortunate to have found her and I’ll be a loyal client for years to come. I ALWAYS receive compliments on my hair! Thanks V, Love ya girl?“

“Belle is absolutely incredible! I was honestly nervous about finding the right person for my wedding hair and makeup since I normally wear very little makeup, but I’m so thankful I found her.

I did two hair and makeup trials with Belle to try different styles, and she was patient, thoughtful, and so helpful throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, Belle and the two artists she brought with her did an amazing job for both me and my bridal party.

Belle is incredibly talented, punctual, professional, and has such a calming, kind personality that immediately put me at ease. I wanted a natural look, and she truly listened to my vision and delivered it perfectly. My hair and makeup lasted beautifully all day and night — even with an outdoor reception!

She also shared so many helpful tips throughout the planning process, and you can tell she has a ton of experience with weddings and events. I genuinely valued her insight and support throughout everything. I can’t recommend Belle enough! :)“

“Salim revived my curly hair. Best haircut of my life. I don’t think I will ever go to a different person if I can help it!! If you’re at a loss with your curly hair, go to Salim!“

“Go to Nancy! Love my hair cut. Have had so many bad hair cuts and it's great to find someone I can trust. Just got a simple trim and face framing but she did a fantastic job.“

“I hired TEAM Hair and Makeup after a couple of friends had great experiences, and they truly lived up to the recommendation. While they are the more luxury pick price‑wise, it was worth every penny for their organization and attention to detail. Before my trial, they sent multiple preparation forms that made everything feel seamless. I was paired with Karina, who was patient, easygoing, and incredibly detail‑oriented. Mar also offered insight into my look, and together they created such a fun, supportive environment that made me feel confident heading into my wedding day.

They took all my feedback for the day‑of look and were so attentive. I loved that they sent a full schedule a week before the wedding, complete with assigned time slots for everyone getting hair and makeup. It made coordinating so simple and saved me from being the “bad guy” assigning a 7am slot.

On the wedding morning, the front desk sent them to the wrong building, which caused a delay, but they handled it with total professionalism. Karina spent so much time making sure I felt comfortable and relaxed, and it made the morning feel calm and pampered. I loved my hair and makeup.

I would absolutely recommend TEAM to any bride who wants to feel pampered, confident, and beautifully elevated on their wedding day.“

“I’ve been with Michelle for 4 years and I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Has made my brows fuller, shaped perfectly for my face! The studio is super cute with ample parking!“

“This cute little hair salon is tucked away in a popular building in downtown. Due to the popularity, there can be difficulty finding parking. However, there is a lot near by with 75 minutes free parking then you are charged after.

While waiting for my stylist, i noticed a bridal party getting ready in a private room.

Heather did my updo and she was so sweet! I told her what my dress looked like and the theme of my event. I gave her freedom to choose what to do and she showed me a picture of an updo. It was perfect! She did a wonderful job and was so pleasant to be with. I would highly recommend her!“

“12 out of 10 honestly! Krysta is so kind and comforting. Went in for a lip blushing service and the color is impeccable. Can’t recommend enough!“

“I refer literally everyone I know to Shannon at Blush and Lashes! She is amazing! There is a reason why she has been in business for so long and it’s because she is the best. Shannon has done make-up for so many of my productions I can’t even count. I’ve also had the privilege of her doing my make-up and lashes for many different events and occasions through the years! She is very good at what she does and brings creativity and passion into every job! Thank you Shannon! You are incredible!“

“Cheri was amazing, took great care of my hair. She's very knowledgeable on hair and maintenance and the experience was quite lovely. She colored my well beautifuly and her sense of style is superb; highly recommend.“

“Loved Sherry!! My blowout looked amazing and she was such a sweetheart. I look forward to my next visit with her.“
