We got married in November 2022 and I hired Kristen to do my wedding hair and makeup. I hired her for myself (bride), 6 bridesmaids, and two mothers. Her skill for both hair and makeup is outstanding. She was very responsive to messages and provided a timeline for when everyone would be getting hair and makeup done for the day of the wedding. I loved everyone’s look on the day of and I looked amazing too, obviously. 😊 I highly recommend Rare Bird Brides!

Kristen was great to work with (very responsive and reliable - on time for sure) and clear about her pricing. She did the hair and makeup of me and several of my friends/family before my wedding and I was extremely happy with the outcome. My grandmother, who refused my offer to have her hair/makeup done (why I have no clue) was jealous at the wedding because the rest of us looked so good! I wanted flowers in my hair and on the day of the wedding she deconstructed a hair piece that didn't quite fit and made it amazing in about 10 seconds. I was very impressed. Also nice to chat with. Just one note the trial was VERY helpful to see how it should look (looked even better on the day of.) Strongly recommend!!

I was really happy to stumble upon Rare Bird Brides website when I was looking to book my Bridal Party Hair and Makeup. I really loved how flawless and natural their brides looked compared to other companies in the San Diego Area. I stalked their Instagram and really loved all photos of the past Brides. I ended up doing my Hair and Makeup trail with Chelsea. She listened to everything I wanted, my concerns and hope I wanted to look as a Bride. I have never gotten professional make up done before so I didn’t really know what to expect, but I was very happy with how the trail turned out. Kristin made payments very easy and sent reminders that were very helpful with all the wedding planning craziness. I had a total of 10 people including the 6 Bridesmaids, 3 Moms and myself. My team of Chelsea and Melissa worked so well together and really stuck to the timeline Kristin had put together prior to the Wedding Day. They listened well to what my Bridesmaids wanted and what would work well with their dresses. The Moms loved the airbrush makeup and they all looked 10 year younger. I was really excited how my Bridal look was exactly how Chelsea had done at my Hair and Makeup trail. The Makeup lasted all night, even though all the sweating on the dance floor. I would highly recommend using Rare Bird Brides for your Hair and Make Up on your wedding day!
