About

Hi, my name is Jillian Rae and I LOVE doing Wedding Hair!!

My experience began ten years ago in San Diego, where I was born and raised. I started my career doing hair for Bridal Fashion Shows and immediately fell in love with everything about the wedding industry. It was all so beautiful... the flowers, the dresses, the hair and makeup! I spent much of that time as well in a few top San Diego Salons mastering the art of Color, Cutting, & Styling. What I loved more than anything though was working with Brides, so in 2009, "Wedding Hair by Jillian Rae" was started. Since then I have won Brides Choice by Wedding Wire for several years. I have been featured on Every Last Detail , 100 Layer Cake 1 , 100 Layer Cake 2 , Carats & Cake , Rustic Wedding Chic, and Style me Pretty .

As your wedding stylist my top priority is to really listen to what my bride describes she wants; looking at pictures with her, evaluating the hair style with her face shape and dress, and helping her choose the right hair accessories to pull the whole look together. I want my brides to feel totally taken care of and relaxed the day of their wedding, confident and calm. I am not only a Stylist on your wedding day, but a friend, and I will go above and beyond to make sure you are completely satisfied. On your wedding day you should feel like yourself, just ten times more glamorous.

Couldn’t have asked for A better person to style my wedding hair!

Jillian in one word... I can’t even choose one word! She’s the best and completely amazing at what she does. She effortlessly brought to life my wedding hair vision. When I first met her at my hair trial she just totally understood what I wanted. She knew how to work with my difficult cow licks. I just couldn’t stop admiring my hair. On my wedding day, she was so relaxed and made everyone feel at ease too. Everyone’s hair looked gorgeous! Thank you Jillian for being so awesome! 💕

Jillian is the best!

When I was going through the wedding planning process, I was very particular about my hair because I have had horrible experiences as a bridesmaid. I found Jillian on Instagram and was instantly drawn to her because all of her brides hair styles were absolutely stunning! The same was true for me on my wedding day. She styled my hair exactly as I had invisioned and it looked perfect. I received so many compliments! Jillian is also an incredibly sweet person and I am so thankful I was able to work with her for our wedding.

Jillian was amazing when it came to my bridal parties wedding hair! There were only 3 of us and she did an amazing job with a little bit of a time crunch in getting ready.
She also last minute squeezed my Mother In Law in who has just started her battle with breast cancer and this was the last time she'd be able to do anything special with her hair.
I would recommend Jillian over and over again!

I worked with Jillian on a styled shoot at Rancho Las Lomas and her hair skillz were amazing. One of my images taken that day was actually reposted by wedding.com because of her beautiful side fishbone braid was perfection. I hope to work with Jillian and her team again.
