Devotion Studio

I absolutely love my hair! I can’t stop running my fingers through it! I was nervous to cut and color my hair because it had been a while. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted or what would look good on me…Kirstin walked me through her thoughts and opinions in a professional yet compassionate way. Her experience was obvious and the result was better than I could have imagined! Thank you for making it such an enjoyable experience and getting me excited about my hair again!

We just had them do hair and makeup for our wedding and they were wonderful to work with and their artists did a fantastic job!

So happy with Devoted Studios! They perfectly matched the makeup inspo I showed them and I felt so beautiful. They also showed me different hair options during my trial so I found the perfect option. It's pretty common for bridesmaids to dislike their hair and makeup at weddings, but all my bridesmaids adored their natural glam and elegant up-dos! Timing was perfect and they were so sweet.

I recently had the pleasure of having Devotion Studio as my hair and makeup artists for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Tamra's talent and expertise truly made my special day unforgettable. She worked with me during my trial and then I had her as my hair & makeup artist day of. She was amazing! She created a beautiful look that perfectly matched my vision. Kirsten, the owner of the company, was fantastic to work with throughout the planning process. Her quick response times and organizational skills made everything run smoothly. She was always available to answer my questions and address any concerns. If you’re looking for a seamless experience with stunning results, I highly recommend reaching out to Devotion Studios for your wedding hair and makeup needs!

Devotion Studio nailed the prompt! Kirsten was easy to work with to get everything setup, and our four stylists (Nicole P, Nicole F, Sara & Natale) dolled everyone up in all the right ways! Hair and makeup lasted well over 12 hours and didn't feel caked on or over the top. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The team at Devotion Studio did an amazing job on hair and makeup for our wedding! Tamra did hair and Natale did makeup for me, my sisters, niece, mom, and mother-in-law for our micro-wedding on the Sonoma Coast. Tamra listened carefully to what each of us wanted for our hair and completely delivered. After my preview makeup appointment I decided I wanted a more “natural” look and Natale did an incredible job making my vision a reality. In addition, both Tamara and Natale were such a pleasure to chat with on the wedding morning – they brought a fun, relaxed energy that perfectly suited our small family wedding. I would absolutely hire Devotion Studio again – they were a dream to work with!

Working with Kirsten at Devotion was great! They are organized and timely with their responses. They were flexible with a lot minute location change and their stylists made us all look amazing on my wedding day. Everyone's hair and make up lasted beautify despite it being a windy day. I would absolutely recommend Kirsten and her team!

LOVED working with Devotion for my wedding! Communication was incredible and Kirsten and her team were so welcoming and accommodating. My bridesmaids, mom, MIL and I had a fabulous time getting ready via the Devotion Team. Chyrel and Nicole were so friendly and helped everyone relax and laugh before the ceremony.

Devotion studio styled my bridesmaid’s hair and makeup for my wedding and they did an amazing job. Chyrel and Heather are incredible artists and stylists and a joy to work with. They were very professional and did a great job with the range of hair types and skin tones in my bridal party. They were also incredible and patient with managing my party starting late due to a member of the party breaking her leg the night before. They helped us keep a positive attitude and still finished in time. I also want to add that while I didn’t work with Kirsten directly, she was super organized and one of the easiest and most joyful vendors to coordinate with leading up to the wedding. If I ever have a need to hire hair and makeup artists again in the future I would look no further than hiring Devotion studio again and again! Thank you for everything 🙏❤️

Kirsten and Adeline from Devotion Studio were an absolute pleasure to work with! They did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, along with my mom and sister. We were all really happy with the result and their professional work! Our makeup lasted all night! Adeline did an amazing job creating a colorful and fun look for my sister that wasn't even planned, and she knocked it out of the park. Kirsten worked with me on my hair, giving me two looks: an updo for the ceremony and hair down for the reception. She was especially awesome in helping me with my unique veil request - my veil was especially heavy and long, and Kirsten handled it like a pro, even using a zip tie to secure it! They were both kind, skilled, and I would highly recommend them!

Kirsten and her team were great for my wedding!! We had lots of people who needed hair and makeup and they got through everyone on time and everyone was happy with their looks :)

Kirsten and Taylor did mine, my mom, and sister’s hair and make up for my wedding. The two were so sweet, personable and professional. All three of us loved our hair and make up, it was exactly what we wanted. I felt like the most beautiful bride. Thank you so much!

Very professional, great communication and the individuals that actually did the hair/make-up - made the tension of the upcoming day easier.

I LOVED working with Kirsten and her team! When I first reached out, she was super responsive and friendly. Her communication throughout the process was excellent! She asked me a lot of questions to make sure she knew what I was looking for, and made suggestions (which I really appreciated as she's the professional!). She was also very flexible when I changed hairstyles at the last minute, and I absolutely LOVED how my hair and makeup turned out. The whole process was so smooth, and just made the day that much more special. I'd highly recommend working with Devotion Studios!!

Kirsten and her team were absolutely on my wedding day. I had a large bridal party (9 bridesmaids and MOB/MOG) and she came up with a schedule to fit exactly what we needed. Shalice is INCREDIBLY talented at make-up, especially if you want an elevated, more natural look. Everyone loved their hairstyles and were able to get something personalized that made them feel beautiful that day. The styles also lasted throughout the entire day, very impressive considering the levels of dancing. Highly recommend this team, nothing but a positive experience.

As a planner, we love working with Devotion Studios! Kirsten does great work and her team is great! If you are looking for a hair and makeup artist, I really recommend booking with this fantastic team!

We used Devotion Studio for my wedding and it was the best decision ever! They really listened to what I wanted for my makeup and didn't try to force anything onto me. I was very comfortable in my skin and felt beautiful on my big day! And a special shoutout to Shalice, I loved working with her. Thank you so much!

Kirstin is amazing!! We had a destination wedding and so I wasn't able to come up from Southern California. She nailed it!! I cannot recommend her or Devotion Studio, enough. She was prompt and ready to go the morning of and flexible with the order of girls. Kirstin, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!!

Awesome communication and such sweet ladies! They fit me in very last minute and made sure I was set for my wedding day. Highly recommend, I looked great!

Kirsten was the sweetest to work with! She provided bridal and bridal party hair and we were all SO pleased with the outcome. She understood our vibe immediately and got to work. We didn't need to make any adjustments.

Kirsten and her team were absolutely amazing! They were extremely professional and wonderful to work with. Kirsten made the whole process effortless for me and was easy to communicate with. We switched up my look a little bit the day of and I could not have been more in love with the outcome. The whole bridal party looked amazing and my hair and makeup held up the whole day and through a night of dancing. I would highly recommend Devotion Studios to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup.

I used devotion studio for my rehearsal and wedding day hair and make up. Kirsten and her team did an amazing job! They listened to what I wanted and were so fun to talk to during the services. I would highly recommend!

I chose Devotion Studio for hair and make for my wedding day and couldn't have been happier!! I first reached out to Kirsten regarding getting things set up and she was so very accommodating to my needs. Originally I was only going to have one artist do hair and makeup and then after a little more planning realized that I had enough ladies involved that it would be better to have 2 artists. She was able to make this happen and it was never a big issue that I needed to make some changes. I scheduled a preview appointment for my bridal hair and makeup where I was able to meet with the artists for my big day! Shalice was my makeup artist and Adeline was my hair stylist. I arrived to my preview appointment only having a vague idea of what I actually wanted and a few inspiration photos to share with them. Both ladies were so extremely easy to work with and there was never any time rush, it was very clear that it was all about making sure I was happy with the results and they would take the time needed to make that happen! I showed a few inspiration photos to Adeline about how I wanted my hair and she gave a few little suggestions on what she could do. I told her that sounded great and to just do what she thought would look best with those few things that I was looking for. After my hair was completed I had a few minor changes that I wanted to make, but was absolutely loving the overall style and it felt so very secure and in place. I continued to wear my hair the rest of the day and it never once felt like it was going to move or be out of place. I thought of a few more minor adjustments I wanted to make to how it looked for the wedding day and was able to text Adeline with those requests no problem! When it came to my makeup, I wasn't totally feeling like myself at the completion of it, but I just kind of assumed it was mostly because I wasn't used to seeing myself with that much makeup on. As the day went I just couldn't stay loving it, something about it was just a little off from what I envisioned for my big day. I texted Shalice and let her know the parts that I just didn't feel were right for me, sent a few more inspiration photos of what I felt would make it better for me and we quickly were able adjust the plans for the big day. She truly wanted to make sure that I would be happy and absolutely love my makeup for my wedding day. It was no problem at all that I decided on changes well after leaving the salon. I kept in contact with Kirsten regarding exactly how many people I needed services for, the location I was going to be getting ready at and what time we needed to start everything the morning of. Along with letting me know exactly how she wanted the payments broken up for the day of. On my big day Shalice and Adeline arrived to the hotel room bright and early ready to go! Each of my girls came ready with some inspiration pics to share and were so very happy with the results!! Shalice even gave each girl a little goodie bag with a lip color touchup, a tray for their false lashes and some of applicators that were used on them. When it came time for me to have my hair and makeup done every little change that I had requested came out absolutely perfect!! I could not have been happier and this time I actually felt like myself which was the part that just wasn't quite there after my preview appointment. These ladies helped make feel my absolute best on such an important day in my life!! Thank you again so much!!!

Kirsten, Heather and Shalice were all extremely welcoming throughout the whole process of booking, hair and makeup trial, and day-of services. On the day of my wedding, Heather and Shalice were super friendly, efficient, and everyone loved their hair and makeup looks.

I’m so happy to have booked Kirsten for hair & makeup! She arrived early to ensure we had enough time to get ready & listened to my vision/feedback on my elopement day look. Could not be more pleased with how everything turned out & on top of that she is such a kind and sweet person. Would highly recommend!

Working with Devotion Studio was the best experience! I was able to set up a color+cut appointment and a wedding hair and makeup trial appointment. I was so impressed by the detailed work this team of artists does. My artists had great suggestions of how to build on my hair+makeup ideas. I highly recommend the trial appointment because I knew exactly what to expect for day-of and I loved having time to explore ideas and suggestions from the glam team. I felt pampered, elegant, and ready for the big day. The Devotion Studio team helped my bridesmaids, bride+groom moms, and myself (bride) get ready and they made the entire experience stress-free, fun, and full of energy. Kirsten is an excellent communicator and planned an easy to follow glam schedule that helped make sure everyone had plenty of time to get ready. The entire team was punctual and very friendly. The quality and value of the service was outstanding. Booking hair and makeup with Devotion Studio was one of the best wedding planning decisions we made. I will be returning to the studio for regular hair appointments. So thankful for this team!

Kirsten Thurber did an amazing job with old style wavy curls for my wedding. She was courteous to communicate with prior to the wedding, and was a delight the morning of!

Adeline did my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding and I have to say my hair was one of my favorite parts of my "look" that day! We did a trial run about a month and a half before the big day and she made it fun testing out different options. I felt so comfortable spending all of that time with her chatting like an old friend. I absolutely recommend Devotion Studio!

Great service, loved their team. I really loved that they came to my home, it was just a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Kirsten was so communicative about the whole process. I really appreciated that!

Kirsten, Cheryl, and Addy worked on my wedding in August. They are all incredibly talented and kind, an absolute pleasure to work with! Cheryl works wonders with makeup and completely nailed mine and my bridesmaids “natural and glowy” look. We loved how she kept our freckles on display! Kirsten was incredibly flexible and quick to respond throughout the entire booking process. Her and Addy did a wide variety of hairstyles on my bridal party and everyone looked gorgeous. Overall I highly recommend working with Devotion Studios!

Kirsten and Cheryl did such an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my wedding day! I felt so beautiful because of them! My bridesmaids who got their hair and makeup done loved how they looked as well! Makeup stayed on all night even through the sweat and tears, and hair stayed up and curly too! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup artists!

I hired Devotion Studio for my wedding hair and makeup plus my bridesmaids. From start to finish, they were top notch! Addie took the time to understand what I wanted and practice at the trial, which I highly recommend. Then on the wedding day, she was ready and remembered all my feedback. My hair was perfect! My makeup was awesome too! I'd just recommend bringing your own foundation to match your complexion and lipstick so you can reapply. All my bridesmaids looked amazing too. I truly looked my most beautiful and I'd highly recommend them!

I recently had Kirsten and her team at Devotion Studio do hair and makeup for my wedding and had a wonderful experience. Not only was I very happy with the result of both my hair and makeup, but each of the stylists were so friendly and chill making for a very relaxing day of experience, which was vey important to me. Some of my bridesmaids came in knowing exactly how they wanted their hair while others were open to ideas and the team did a great job of delivering in both instances. As for my bridal look, I was looking for something that would make me feel glam/special for the day, but still look and feel true to myself and Kirsten did a great job on that. I highly recommend Devotion Studio.

Kirsten is such a joy to work with! She had wonderful suggestions for my makeup and hair preview for my wedding, while also making sure that I had a voice throughout the whole process. I don’t style my hair that often or wear much make up so I was just so happy with a simple and natural look. Thanks!

Me and my (now)husband went from Germany to California to get married. I found Kirsten and her service by accident and it was the luckiest accident ever! She is such a gorgeous person and did an amazing job!! She was absolutely focused on my wishes and that I feel comfortable and that's what she did: She made me look AND feel beautiful and I'm so thankful for that!!! Every bride will know this high tension at that day and I was so extremely nervous (and far away from my friends and family) and she calmed me down with her friendly and patient attitude. A thousand hugs and kisses from Germany to you, Kirsten. Words are not enough for your Job!

Kirsten made me look so beautiful on my wedding day. She was so nice, kind, and professional as well. I am very picky when it comes to my hair, and she created the exact look I wanted (old Hollywood type waves with hairpiece). She will be honest with you about what she feels comfortable with (a lot) and what she will ask a colleague to do if she thinks they will carryout the look better. I mean... that's integrity for you! I hope I have another event so I can hire Devotion Studio again!!

Kirsten is loving, gentle, down to earth and an all around pleasure to be around. As a queer bride, it was important to me to work with someone who respected and understood LGBT marriage. Kirsten was respectful and celebratory of my marriage. I was stunned by how accurately she created on my hair and face the exact look I asked for. I felt glamorous and natural on my wedding day. Don’t hesitate to book her!

I am so happy I booked Devotion Studio for the big day. They were on time, professional, and did amazing work. I even had a bridesmaid say that she was sad that the people she had just booked for her wedding were not as good.

I was planning for a wedding!! And had no idea what I wanted to do with my hair. Kirsten Thurber came with every I needed and my bridesmaids she help me figure out the best style for me and my hair type she did amazing she was fun friendly and made it all about me and my girls!!!

The Devotion Studio was phenomenal! I have been getting my hair done with Kirsten for a few years, but just recently got the wedding day glam squad experience and couldn't be happier. Kirsten and Cheryl did an amazing job on everyone's hair and makeup. They were professional and extremely easy to work with. They listened to what everyone wanted and made sure we all looked gorgeous. I have really straight long hair that does not like to curl. Kirsten helped me find a style that suited me and held up the entire night. I am obsessed with the way my hair turned out on my wedding day and the color she did a few weeks earlier.

I booked Kirsten and Chyrel to do hair and makeup for me, 7 bridesmaids, and my mom the morning of my wedding this past year (September 2018). They are truly worthy of 5 stars! I couldn’t have been happier, and the process was seamless from start to finish. Kirsten was always timely in responding, and was very accommodating with scheduling to make sure that my mom and I could book a trial together, going above and beyond when my mom wanted to book a second trial after deciding that she wasn’t happy with the initial hair style she chose. One of the things that stuck out most to me was how both Kirsten and Chyrel were able to hear my feedback after the trial and turn it into exactly what I wanted on my big day. I’m not a big hair and make-up person, so of course one of my big fears was not feeling like myself on the day-of. While the trial was on track, I had the feeling like it was too much, and they were completely open to hearing what I had to say, and then nailing it on my wedding day! Prices are reasonable, and my hair and makeup lasted through the whole evening. On top of that, you couldn’t pick two more kind and genuine people to laugh with and help make you feel calm and beautiful on your wedding day. Kirsten and Chyrel - thank you both so much for everything!

I booked Devotion Studio to do hair and make-up for my Mom, three bridesmaids, and myself the morning of my wedding. I had looked at several other options in the Mendocino area and was impressed by their online photos and reasonable prices. Kirsten was incredibly quick, professional, and kind in her communication and it sold me. I was especially nervous because I live in Denver, CO and knew I wouldn’t be able to travel out ahead of time for any kind of trial run. I sent her multiple, conflicting photos and ideas from Pinterest (probably a stylist’s nightmare haha) and she sent me matching photos of other clients who had similar hair and make-up styles done in her studio in the past. The ceremony was in Gualala, CA which was a 2-hour drive from their studio location in Sebastopol. However, she was willing to make the trek and was super flexible when I made a couple changes after sending in the initial contract, such as adding an extra person (my Mom) to the list of people to style and asking for a second stylist to cut time down. She and Chyrel came early on the day of the ceremony and were so nice, down-to-earth, and calm. I should add that I’m pretty Type A so I was feeling fairly stressed about some last minute details when they arrived and running around like a chicken without a head. Their peaceful energy helped me a lot and they were more than happy to go with the flow to help however possible. I was also feeling particularly indecisive about my hairstyle since I had planned on wearing it down but things were getting a bit windy. They patiently looked at my photo options and asked which of the online pictures I liked best. Once I chose one, they NAILED the hair by literally making me look exactly like the style I had chosen. I loved it and it held the entire evening despite wind and dancing (they came at 10:30-ish in the morning and I was up until about 2am). As far as make-up, I am a bit self-conscious of a scar on my face and they covered it up well while still making the make-up look more natural like I wanted. I never wear make-up so I’m pretty sure I rubbed my face a few times by accident and teared up at points and it still looked great. My bridal party was also very happy with their experience and styles! I can’t say enough about how easy and wonderful they made the experience. I would highly recommend them to others looking to book hair or make-up for any special occasion.

I hired Kirsten to do mine & my bridesmaids hair for my wedding and I am so happy I did! She was responsive, talented, and overall wonderful to work with. After my trial, I wasn't so sure that the style I chose was best for me, so I sent Kirsten some images of what I wanted instead, and she executed it perfectly on my wedding day. On top of that, it was rainy and misty, and she managed to make my hair hold all day long. I loved working with Kirsten, chatting with her, and getting to know her. She is reasonably priced too and was SO incredibly easy to work with! Couldn't be happier with the outcome.
