The Hair & Make-Up Box

lous job. I felt like myself, just a little more glamorous. My sister, mom and mother-in-law were also very happy with their looks. On top of that, Kristi and Stacey are easy to chat with, punctual and just really nice people to have with you on such an important day!

he way they looked. Our wedding was postponed two times (originally April 2020 then eventually December 2021). Despite the long time between my original trial and wedding day, they were responsive to any questions I had throughout that time. I highly recommend the Hair and Makeup Box!!

s, caring and kind… but she’s also an incredibly talented artist! Everyone in my bridal party was obsessed with their makeup. She made us look like an enhanced version of ourselves. I received so many compliments throughout the night!! I would work with her in a heartbeat for another event. If you work with Kristi, I promise you, she’ll be the vendor that gives you peace of mind!

d. I cannot speak highly enough of these amazing women! They are fantastic at what they do, are incredibly kind, and extremely professional. They worked with me and my changing schedule, and found a way to accommodate me in these chaotic times. There is no better hair and makeup team to have on your big day!

edibly friendly and professional. On the day of the wedding she was early and energetic even though it was early in the morning. She had a great energy and really set the tone for me for the rest of my wedding day that I was very nervous for. Honestly can’t say enough good things.

rtable in my hair and makeup all day and night. Although I looked / felt more beautiful, my mind was never on my hair or makeup. They were an absolute joy to get ready with, and they ran on time!! Everyone looked great <3

accommodating in terms of trial coordination. They were easily accessible via email (quick response time). Stacey took a combination of 5-6 inspo pictures and created the most beautiful wedding hair! Kristi made me look FLAWLESS (she also had great suggestions based on eye color/ hair color etc) ! I also did not feel like I was wearing a ton of make up ( which was really appreciated and welcomed :) ) ! My MIL and Mom could not stop talking about how great both were and how much fun they had getting ready. Getting ready was definitely a highlight of the day! I would recommend to any bride / bridal party ! Thank you both!!!

ferent hair styles across different hair types, while still making them all look cohesive together. Stacey was awesome and I highly recommend her!

Hair and Makeup.

re Kristi and Stacey incredibly nice but they nailed my look with just a few inputs. Kristi applied my make-up to look so natural and just enhanced. She also made sure to know my skin type and make sure I was comfortable with everything she was doing every step of the way. And as for Stacey, I gave her one image from a Pinterest Pin of what I thought was an intricate fancy fun and she re-created it perfectly. The best part was that my hair and make-up was probably on for 10+ hours and I felt like by the time I took it off, it still looked as great as when they first did it.

le I wanted. Stacey listened and asked questions to make sure she could understand, and then she executed exactly what I was imagining. She asked me multiple times if there was anything I wanted to change at the end, and gave me time to look at it and think. My hair looked beautiful, and held up perfectly on a windy day. On top of that, Stacey is just a lovely person! I loved chatting with her, and she made me feel very comfortable the whole time.

of a wedding day. Knowing that the timeline will run according to plan (hair & makeup are first and if they are late, it affects EVERYTHING afterwards), as well as how the client feels with their makeup on will have a huge impact on how they show in expression and appearance in photos. I found Kristi through many recommendations from fellow vendors in the wedding industry, and checked out her work thoroughly online. Her communication was much faster than others, and she carried the level of professionalism I would want to vouch for when referring another vendor. My clients looked great on the day of the shoot, and the experience was everything I was hoping for. She was punctual, professional, and fun. More than happy to refer her to future clients!

lasted all day/night, and into the next morning even with all of the crying that happened too! (Happy tears!) They are experts with MOB makeup, as well as diverse skin tones and short hairstyles - my mom is Korean and has short hair, and she looked flawless. They are very professional, punctual, talented ladies. Go book them now! LOVE THEM!

hey know best. I had them do my hair and makeup three times in the past year, and every time it felt like my sisters were doing my hair and makeup. They did an amazing job and I received so many compliments every time they did my hair and makeup. My bridesmaids and our mothers looked stunning! They were so efficient and had us done EARLY, so I got extra time with my girls and then my groom during our first look because we were running ahead of schedule. It truly allowed me to enjoy every little moment of our wedding day. Seriously, you won't be disappointed! I am trying to find excuses to use them again and again - they are THE BEST!

hey are the sweetest and listen to any changes you want, but let me warn you, they absolutely know what they are talking about so keep that in mind when you ask to do less liner etc. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous and I've never felt so confident before. Thank you ladies for making me feel like a glam babe on the most important day, my wedding.

engagement shoot but my hair and makeup stayed put! Both times they did my hair and makeup I didn't have to worry about hair falling out or makeup coming off. Kristi and Stacey were super sweet and put me at ease on my wedding day. They also did hair and makeup for my Mom, sister, and other bridesmaids and everyone looked AMAZING! They are fantastic and I would 100 percent recommend them!

edding day thoughts, yet the moment Kristi did her magic I was transformed to a rested, bright and glowing bride. You can tell that Kristi has an effortless talent. I barely told her what I wanted and through her keen observation she did the perfect amount of everything. Not too little, not too much-just right (for me but also for all of my very different bridesmaids). I would recommend Kristi and The Hair and Make-Up box not only to my San Diego community, but my closest family and friends. Thank you Kristi for making me look picture perfect, but also helping me feel in love.

without hesitation. They were great to work with and skilled at handling different skin and hair types / colors. Kristi made my mom and MIL feel super comfortable which I appreciated since I knew they were a bit apprehensive about being done up :) Both ladies have such a classic style and are very open to feedback. I recommend doing a trial with both beforehand! Make sure to book in advance because they are so in demand.

tany created my dream hair, and every single one of my bridesmaids looked flawless with their makeup from Kristi! It all looked so natural and gorgeous. Highly recommend these ladies!!!

he morning was so smooth. She and her second artist were there right on time, bright and early to get the AM kickstarted. She made a timeline for makeup to coordinate with our hair person, as well as to fit within the day of timeline my planner had made. She ensured everything went according to plan. My bridal party had many different skin shades, and everyone's makeup looked amazing. Everything was tailored to each individual and what their goal look was---semi-natural to extra glam. My friend with freckles was concerned how hers would turn out, and she loved it....but that was par for the course... everyone loved their finished looks...even my mom! :) I ABSOLUTELY ADORED my bridal makeup. It turned out amazing in pictures. The lashes she put on legit stayed looking good for 3 days! I was seriously amazed. I wish Kristi could do my makeup for everyday. She is lovely to work with, easy going, and kept me calm when my nerves started to get the best of me. I highly recommend Kristi, and the Hair and makeup box. You can't go wrong by booking them!

on everyone! Everyone had an idea of how they wanted their make-up and hair done, and Stacey and Kristi made it all come to life. Everyone looked gorgeous and looked beautiful for the entire day and evening. We all got compliments throughout the entire wedding. Both Kristi and Stacey are so professional...very responsive, on time, prepared and creative and knowledgeable. And, the icing on the cake is that they have wonderful personalities, very sincere and fun and made everyone feel comfortable while getting ready for the big event. I recommend Stacey and Kristi without hesitation. They are fantastic!

anything. They are easy to talk to and do amazing work. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and wouldn't change a thing.

comfortable and beautiful. I would pick them over and over again if I could. They were also professional and easy to coordinate with. Love them!

her team showed up early and was super professional. My husband and I were happy with all the hair and makeup looks for our wedding. It definitely matched the vision we had in mind. I would highly recommend them for weddings and would definitely book them again.

day was great! They were very relaxed and easy to talk to which put me at ease. My hair and make up turned out amazing and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend this awesome duo for your wedding hair and make up!

rust anyone else!

trial to find the perfect hairstyle to complement to my wedding dress. I knew I wanted a fuller look with my updo & Stacey recommended a hair extension store that customized the color perfectly. Stacey worked magic with my extensions to fill out my loose updo, without making it too heavy to enjoy the day. With nine bridesmaids, Kristi & Stacey were extremely helpful in locking down hair/makeup schedules and ensuring we would wrap in time for the ceremony. Moreover, they made the early morning so enjoyable with their fun personalities & humor. I loved how it all came together & simply put, felt BEAUTIFUL. Thank you both for making my day so special.

s website, I knew I wanted them. It was easy to book a trial with them at their studio, and I liked them immediately. They were super nice and personable and I liked my hair and make up immediately. They asked enough questions to make sure I got what I wanted, but I also told them I trusted their expertise and I just wanted them to make me look pretty! ;-) After the trial, I booked them for my wedding and they did hair and make up for the moms and also my sister. Everyone absolutely loved them and they did not leave until we were happy with what we got. They were very easygoing and just so pleasant to work with. I wasn't stressed at all during my wedding. Would 100% recommend them to anyone who asked me!!

enhanced everyones natural beauty. They also were incredibly professional and always on time. They worked efficiently while keeping us all very relaxed. They are a fantastic team that I would whole heartedly recommend to any bride and bridal party for their wedding.

day of my life. They were also the best company to hang out with and helped settle down all of my nerves. They kept me sane, and made me pretty. Also, every time I saw a bridesmaid done I wanted to cry because everyone looked STUNNING. I couldn't have had a better beauty crew to make up my own crew. Don't look anywhere else- you have found the best of the best!

three mother in laws and every single lady loved their look and was on time. Not only are they super talented and professional but also great energy and fun to hang with!

nly 10 months to plan my wedding. Planning a wedding in a short amount of time in a new city, with no family or bridesmaids to be there throughout the process, was not only stressful but at times a little lonely. I met these amazing ladies on my trial day and instantly felt like I was hanging out with my girlfriends from back home. I honestly had no idea what I wanted for hair and make-up, I just wanted to be beautiful. With very little direction, these ladies far exceeded my expectations on my wedding day and for my rehearsal. Kristi and Stacey were organized and very efficient! They did hair and makeup for myself, seven bridesmaids, two mothers and we still had time to spare. Everyone (including my mother-in-law who has never gotten her makeup done) loved their hair and makeup and looked BEAUTIFUL! I should also mention that I got married in August on one of the hottest days of the year. We took pictures before the ceremony in Balboa Park and our hair and makeup lasted all night, even with the extreme heat and humidity. I would 1000% recommend these ladies for weddings or any special event!

book a trail appointment for my big day, but in speaking with Kristi over the phone and through email, I just had a feeling that she was the one for me and...I was so right! Kristi was a doll! Kristi and Stacey were both on time and as sweet as can be! They made me and my bridal party feel relaxed and at ease, which is so imprortant on your wedding day! The ladies listened to what each girl wanted and created the perfect look for everyone! Stacey even went above and beyond squeezing my Mom in to get her hair done last minute. Our hair and make-up lasted all day and even through the night! My girls and I felt beautiful that day thanks to Kristi and Stacey. I plan on using them again in the future for other events and I couldn't recommend them enough! I absolutely loved them!:)

ked for for me and brought to life my bridesmaids' visions as well.

hair and makeup done. That all went away at my trial with them. I was worried the makeup would be too much, but Kristi did a great job keeping it natural and making me feel comfortable with everything, down to the individual eyelashes she applied. The hairstyle Stacey designed was perfect, and it looked just as good by the end of the night as it did at the beginning. They both also did an amazing job with the rest of my bridal party, plus both moms, an aunt, and a groomswoman. Many of them don’t normally wear makeup either, but they all came away looking (and feeling) great! I highly recommend Kristi and Stacey for all your hair and makeup needs!

nspiration photos and they knew exactly what to do! They also gave me some suggestions based on my skin tone and hair texture, which I greatly appreciated, and ended up working out perfectly. They were calm and upbeat and overall just great to work with. I plan to book them again if I ever have a reason to get my hair and makeup done in the future!

super fun to hang out with on your big day." Truer words have never been spoken, because these are two of the most amazing and wonderful ladies that I had the pleasure of working with both before and on our wedding day! Not gonna lie, I was basically dragged, kicking and screaming, to the hair and makeup trial. Within 5 minutes of arrival, Kristi and Stacey had calmed me down, looked at my Pinterest page to see what I envisioned for my big day, and started working their magic. I have to say, they nailed it! When I walked out of that trial, my hair and makeup were flawless, and I felt so beautiful and even more excited for the actual wedding day. When the actual day arrived, Kristi, Stacey, and a third hairstylist named Leela came and set up in our hotel room next door to LJWC (which incidentally seemed much smaller once we had 10+ ladies in it at any given moment). Of course the first bridesmaid scheduled was running late, but Kristi grabbed the step-mother of the groom (who was a late addition) and got her done in what seemed like an instant. They kept us on schedule and were incredibly flexible when the maid of honor suddenly decided her normal makeup routine wasn't good enough. We just got our pictures back and everyone looks absolutely gorgeous. All of my bridesmaids and the moms were impressed/happy/in love with their hair and makeup, as was I! I truly could not have asked for a better experience on one of the best days of my life! Thank you so much, Kristi and Stacey (and Leela)!

ly did she listen to what I wanted, she did everyone's makeup with absolute precision and perfection. She really is the best of the best and I wish I could use her all the time! I 100% would recommend her for any special occasion!

y feel so beautiful on your special day! I was in an utter panic when I reached out to Kristi--I had a hair and makeup trial from a different artist that did not go the way I anticipated--and Kristi was so sweet and accommodating and set me up for a trial right away! When I first met Kristi and Kati, I already knew this would be a wonderful fit. My hair and makeup looked amazing, and it was only the trial! Kristi was very communicative and responded to all my questions leading up to the wedding. The morning of the wedding went so smoothly, and all my girls had a great time. Kristi, Kati, and Tracee (who joined in on the fun as there were more gals who wanted their hair done!) were so professional, fun, and amazing to be around. They made the morning great with their positive attitudes and wonderful work. I recommend the Hair and Makeup Box to all my friends who ask for recommendations for their special days as well. Thank you Kristi, Kati, and Tracee for everything!

ir clients. Kristi and Stacey are definitely the complete package- extremely talented, love what they do, and also very down to earth and friendly! My mother-in-law is still talking about how wonderful her makeup and hair experience was! I honestly cannot thank them enough for everything they did- and for how happy I was with my look on my wedding day! It was absolutely perfect!

bsolutely beautiful, but my bridal party looked amazing as well! I would highly recommend anyone to work with them on their wedding day.

mend them!

hairs so much. And you guys are very nice person to work with.

and hair was exactly what I wanted and lasted all night! Also, I had a pretty large wedding party, but Kristi & Stacey were very flexible and made sure everything stayed on schedule. All of my ladies were impressed/happy/in love with their hair and makeup! I could not have asked for a better experience on my most favorite day!! :)
