Cristina is so amazing at what she does! My hair is so thin and straight and with the guidance of Cristina I was able to buy the perfect extensions and create an up-do style that w...
as 100% me. On top of being a fantastic hair stylist, Cristina is so personable and easy to converse with, which provided such positive vibes/energy for my hair trial and wedding day (Sept 2021). Looking back on my big day, she was my favorite vendor I got to work with. Thank you Cristina!
I worked with Cristina to schedule hair and make-up services for my wedding. Everything went flawlessly!! Cristina was super informative, had great communication, and pricing was m...
ore than fair. Most importantly, my hair and make-up looked amazing and lasted all day (we had an early ceremony). I would highly recommend booking your wedding services with Cristina.
Cece at San Diego Bridal Hair design crrafted an updo for my wedding. It was fabulous and I was beautiful. The updo was side bun with intricate twists, adding a few flowers was an...
amazing touch. It lasted the entire day. I highly recommend Cece do do your wedding hair or for any event. You will be so happy beautiful.
I just love Cristina! She’s easy to talk to and communicate with, very professional and her work is always stunning. She makes me feel beautiful whenever she does my hair.
Cristina has been my hairdresser for 18 years. She is always so accommodating and really listens to her clients. When it came to my updo for my wedding, she made my visions a reali...
ty. She was punctual and made sure that I was truly happy with the results. I would HIGHLY recommend Cristina for your big day. She is a hair artist!
I'm so grateful I found Cristina to do my wedding hair!! She was a total joy to work with, ease to communicate with, and she totally got what I was looking for. I have thick super ...
straight asian hair that is very hard to work with -- I've been a bridesmaid several times and each time my hair was professionally done but then quickly fell out of place and looked like a mess within hours. I shared my concern with Cristina (how I wanted a low bun that looked natural and elegant, but worried that hair would fall and poke out) and she somehow pulled off the impossible and for the first time EVER my hair stayed in place all night through tons of dancing and the after party. I got a lot of compliments, and my other bridesmaids and mom also loved working with her on my wedding day. Cannot recommend Cristina enough -- you can stop your search here!
Cristina did an amazing job on my wedding updo in March 2020. My wedding was originally supposed to be mid-April, but due to covid19, my fiance and I decided to have an intimate c...
eremony in March. So, we never had the chance to do a hair trial, but my hair ended up exactly how I dreamed - no, even better! Cristina is punctual, professional, friendly, and fun, and reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
I have known Bri since we were very young and this is what she is destine to do! Bri has done my hair for many, many years so it was only natural for her to do my hair for my weddi...
ng... And it was perfect! She also did my wedding hair trial and did not stop until it was exactly what I wanted. She listens to what her clients want, is incredibly professional and very kind. I highly recommend Bri to any bride, mother of the bride, bridal party etc.! Thank you Bri for always making me feel beautiful!!!
Bri Sandoval did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. The wedding was at 10 in the morning and Bri arrived at my mom's house at 5am to get started on my hair and makeup. She was o...
n time and totally prepared. Bri did a gorgeous up-do for me and incorporated the hair comb I wanted in my hair. She did an incredible job with my makeup and lashes. I was completely ready to go by the time I needed to head to the venue.
I got married on a yacht on the San Diego Bay in the middle of summer and had a reception later in the day. My hair and makeup stayed pristine all throughout! It was a 16 hour wedding day and my hair and makeup (with lashes) stayed gorgeous the whole time. I was amazed and so grateful, because believe me, it was really hot that day. The wedding photos were stunning and a large part was because of Bri's work. I am forever grateful that I was able to book Bri for my wedding day. I continue to go to her for my cut and color to this day.
Bri has been my hairstylist for the past decade so of course I’d go to her for my bridal updo! I couldn’t ask for someone better. I gave her the freedom to be inspired by my dress ...
and she definitely pulled through. Bri is great at listening to her clients, is always punctual, great prices, and gives her honest opinion/suggestions if she feels something could be done better. She has a real eye for creativity. I recommend her to anyone I know looking for a bridal hairstylist.
Bri saved me at the last minute! My original hair stylist cancelled on me right before the wedding. Bri was recommended by a mutual friend and thankfully she squeezed me in. She wa...
s AMAZING!! I loved my hair and had so many compliments on it. It remained perfect for my whole wedding night. I never turned back...Bri is now my regular stylist and she is the best!
I have been following San Diego Bridal hair design and waiting to hire Cristina since me and my now husband had first gotten serious about marriage. I always knew she would be my s...
tylist and could help me bring my vision to life so I was so very ecstatic when she was available for my wedding day, because I would have had to change the day if she was not! I have very difficult hair to style, it never stays, but Cristina makes miracles happen.
Not only that, but she coordinated the hair and makeup efforts between me and my 6 bridesmaids as well as my mother, mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law and made it so, so easy. I cannot thank her enough for taking so much stress away from the big day! She arrived on-time, as did her team and they had all of their supplies and were ready to go! They are all the most lovely girls I have ever met. It's so wonderful having more friends in the room to help you get ready for your big day. I felt so beautiful and my hair was so secure and the most gorgeous it has ever been. Thank you San Diego Bridal Hair Design - Cristina, Brianna, Andrea and Brittney!
Cristina is amazing! We live out of town and found her on yelp for our wedding in June (2017); the least I can do for her is contribute another glowing review to encourage more yel...
pers to book her! Especially because we are not in the SD area, communication was super important to us and she was great at getting back with any questions we threw at her and was extra helpful in making suggestions for other vendors we needed like someone to make a flower crown for my fiancé's hair. We came to town to do a trial with her two months before our wedding and she was so accommodating to our tight schedule and totally worth the special trip! We love Cristina! We talked through our ideas and showed her some photos and then sat back and let her do her magic. I have really long hair and wanted an up-do and she did an amazing job. My fiancé has finer hair and wanted to leave it down with the flower crown and Cristina used great products to help the curl hold for our beach wedding. By the time our trial happened I was in full blown stress mode with the wedding planning; after meeting Cristina I sincerely felt SO much better knowing we were booked with her. She was one of our most favorite vendors and we genuinely adore her and want to be friends! Her artistic skills are spot on and she clearly loves what she does, but on top of all of that I also must mention what an awesome human she is in general. She is calm as a cucumber and easy to talk with; she brought such a kind, Zen presence to the planning process and was exactly who we wanted with us on the big day.
For the wedding day she did hair for two brides, two bridesmaids, and two moms. She was efficient with her time and got everyone done in just over 4 hours. Cristina was great company and everyone was super happy with their hair; she helped us feel beautiful on our wedding day and we are so thankful for her skillful hands! If we ever need our hair professionally styled again I would drive to SD in a heartbeat for her. If you live in the area and can see her at Sweet Salon in Ocean Beach, you're extra lucky and I'm jealous! Her prices are totally reasonable, she can come to you for the event prep, and you absolutely won't regret choosing Cristina as your hair stylist!
Natalia did my hair, my moms hair,and all my bridesmaids hair for my wedding. To say she did wonderful is an understatement, everyone of my girls looked fantastic and I loved the w...
himsical romantic style she did for my hair. I seriously felt like the most beautiful bride ever. Thank you Natalia 😁
Natalia did my hair for my wedding day. I had a traditional Chinese ceremony and western ceremony. It was a quite challenge. Natalia did incredible job. All my family and friends ...
loved my hair.
Natalia has done my hair for big events multiple times and I loved each look everytime; I felt and looked so beautiful. Natalia is professional, patient, explains things clearly ...
and in great detail, she is very talented ; a true artist. I highly recommend her for your wedding and all events.
Natalie is an incredible stylist! Not only does she have a great eye for details but she also has the ability to create beautiful styles with both long and short hair. It’s so hard...
to find someone that make a stunning style with shorter hair so I’m thrilled I found her for my bridal shoot!
First off, NATALIA IS LOVE. Natalia is one of my go-to hair stylists. Given the choice, I’ve only trusted 2 people in the last 5 years to style my hair on a consistent basis for pr...
ofessional photos and for personal events: Natalia is one of them.
As a model and performing artist, I have worked with her in fashion industry-related shows and photo shoots, as well as artistic collaborations. So she isn’t unfamiliar with working to practice perfect for portfolio-ready hair, or under time-constraints.
Not only is she impeccable in her ability to visualize and create a hairstyle that matches your vision, Natalia can exceed it. Also, she manages to be very good at communicating with her clients, and projecting the utmost professionalism.
Natalia is very honest about what works for your hair type and will not steer you wrong. She constantly is practicing her craft, but don’t let the word “practice” fool you. She’s a hidden gem waiting to soar. She is very easy to work with, and I come back to her time and again for her artistry. Thank you, Natalia.
I am more then grateful for San Diego Bridal! I had a specific idea and was able to capture EXACTLY what I wanted in the picture for my big day. Not only were my expectations excee...
ded but time management was amazing with six people to fix up and be out the door by 2:00pm. All six of us were very happy with our services received! Not only were we happy with our hair but professionalism and personality made the day more comfortable, smooth and fun. I had a post wedding photo shoot and my hair still looked amazing the next day. I will always highly recommend this company to brides to be or other events. ♥️
Cristina is a PRO with hair! She was my first and only inquiry while shopping for my wedding hair dresser as I was referred by a girlfriend who had gotten her hair done as a brides...
maid & had high regards for Cristina.
There was no need to shop around for any other dresser as she replied to my email and answered all of my questions immediately with great enthusiasm. Price is also very reasonable ESPECIALLY for the detail and beautiful job she does that she makes to be flawless. Her time management is also amazing as she did 4 of us and our flower girls hair within 3 hours!
If you want to have your hair to look AMAZING for your entire 12+ hour wedding day, Cristina is your girl. I had my hair looking beautifully the entire day and not even a hair out of place even when rocking out on stage with a live band until 2AM at the wedding after party.
I have Cristina to thank in all my photos as my hair is stunning in every one of them . Thank you Cristina for all that you have done to make my wedding day so memorable and gorgeous. I look forward to referring you to future brides and girlfriends of mine :-)
On your wedding day you want someone who is professional, understanding, and supportive, San Diego Bridal Hair is definitely all three! They came out to our wedding site and did my...
hair as well as my three bridesmaids. They listened to what everyone wanted and made us all feel comfortable and we all loved the results. When planning my wedding my philosophy was to hire people who knew what they were doing so I could relax and San Diego Bridal Hair Design was a great choice from doing my hair for engagement photos, to the bridal hair trial, and finally to the big day. It was a great experience!
Cristina is nothing short of amazing! She saved my wedding hair when I was in a bind. I booked a stylist 6 months in advance for my wedding. Three weeks out, she bailed & I was des...
perate with no stylist on one of the most popular dates of the year so of course chances of finding someone available were slim.
I messaged Cristina because she is close to my venue. Within less than 5 minutes I had a text saying she was with a client and would call in 30 minutes. She was calm & supportive in my crisis, and she moved her entire schedule around including staying after her work shift to meet with me!
Cristina was personable and fun to work with. She did a STUNNING job on my hair (too bad it was so windy that it didn’t stay all day, but it was gorgeous while it did), and she kindly took group shots with my bridesmaids before leaving. I can’t believe I didn’t find her sooner & I can’t wait to visit her in her salon for general hair needs in the future!
WOW! When it comes to Bridal hair looking like perfection, Cristina is your lady! Seriously, don't even waste another second thinking about it, BOOK HER NOW!!!!
She is so friendly...
, down to earth, and professional all at the same time.
All we did was provide her with an example of some pictures off Pinterest and BOOM, we got what we asked for and then some! :)
While at the hotel, when getting our hair done by Cristina, some of us began to get super nervous about the big day. The ceremony was taking place soon and you can't help but get jittery. But Cristina was so incredibly supportive during this time and kept telling me to breathe and to take it easy and giving me other sweet words of encouragement-It meant a lot and ultimately really helped me become calm. When she gave us the mirror to take a look at the up-do she did, we instantly lit up with excitement and confidence. We were IN LOVE with the way it came out and we would recommend her to everyone and anyone.
Thanks Cristina for making our day so special! Pleasure working with you! :)
I highly recommend Cristina to anybody looking for bridal hair services. I had a long engagement so that gave me the opportunity to do research on different stylist in the San Dieg...
o area.
After months of searching "bridal hair stylist" on Google and looking through multiple options, I decided to set up a trial with Cristina. The trial went great, I showed her a few options and she worked quick and also made recommendations on what would work best for me. I booked her immediately after my trial.
I chose Cristina for various reasons:
1) She provides the results you want at a reasonable cost.
2) Travels to location; there's already a lot of moving parts on your wedding day, the last thing you want to worry about is traveling to a salon.
3) From her other pictures, I knew that she provided a more natural look in comparison to other stylist who use A LOT of hairspray and leaves it looking stiff.
Fast forward ten months to my wedding day. Cristina arrived early to assess the space available in my hotel room. She set up her area and was considerate of where my make up artist should be in order for her to get more natural light. As a bride, I felt calm and relaxed that everything was on schedule. She made sure everybody was comfortable with their look before finalizing it.
In the end, she provided services for myself, 3 bridesmaid, mother of groom, sister of groom, and flower girl within the time allotted. I never felt stressed that we were running out of time. For bigger parties, she does bring an assistant.
Thanks, Cristina!
Cristina is absolutely wonderful! :)
She's professional, kind, warm, gracious...and truly an amazing artist!! She worked fast... very skilled...did an amazing job judging the ti...
me it would take to complete our 5 bridesmaids, flower girl, mother of the bride and an amazing bride updo...and it was amazing!!
Timing was perfect...efficient...she's lovely.
Truly an artist. You won't go wrong!!
Cristina is incredibly professional and I truly only trust her and her team with my hair! I’ve used Cristina for my own prom as well as a few weddings and modeling shoots and she n...
ever disappoints. Whenever I give Cristina a vision on the way I’d like my hair to turn out, she goes above and beyond to amaze me every single time. Not only does the hair hold well but I get compliments all night long.
I cannot say enough good things about Cristina! She is absolutely AMAZING at bridal hair. I ended up having a few trials (my hair is VERY hard to get into an updo) and Cristina spe...
nt so much time with me to get it just right. My hair was exactly how I envisioned on my wedding day and everyone in my wedding party loved theirs as well. I could not have made a better choice. She is fun, crazy nice, and great at what she does. You really can't go wrong and I will be using her in the future for any hair styling needs. Book her. You won't regret it.
During my wedding trials with a few stylist, I asked for a hairstyle that was soft and angelic looking. I had some good trial outcomes, but it wasn't until I found Cristina that I...
was WOWed!! Not only did she do a FANTASTIC job for me but she also accommodated my bridal party with ease on the day of my wedding. It was a hot and humid day in San Diego, but our hair lasted all day and looked gorgeous from start to finish!! The products she used felt light and soft. A few of my girls, who originally, didn't request to have their hair done were struggling because of the humidity but Cristina was so efficient with her time, she was able to help them with a quick touch up before our limo arrived. She saved the day! Cristina, is very talented, manages her time well, has a sweet and calming demeanor... not only do I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her, I will be using her again for all of my special events!! Best Wishes!
