Bluebird Salon 

4.0

San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Starts at $250

Whether you prefer an enhanced natural look or an all-out glam, our artists will consult with you and learn your vision for your big day so that you can feel radiant and relaxed. We have a large team of artists and can usually accommodate any sized bridal party. So if it is just the Bride or the Bride and her 20 best friends, we've got you covered!

We had Rich and Felicity as our hair stylists and Maddie as our makeup artist. These folks were amazing on the day, stayed on schedule and were able to deliver great looks with humid weather. My main reason for going 4 stars is the booking and communication ahead of time was a little sparse, it can be confusing to use the Bluebird form and I had to be the one to reach out to ask for stylist contacts ahead of time to discuss how the day would go. There also is not a lot of artist-specific portfolio work to reference on their site. I probably would have preferred to book direct with the artists if it was possible.

Natalie with Bellizzimo Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very first consultation, Natalie was attentive, kind, and incredibly detailed in her approach.

On the day of, Natalie's work was truly exceptional - she used high-quality products that left my skin looking fresh and radiant, and my hair stayed beautifully in place all night long. She graciously stayed extra time to do my tough ups, but we ran late in photos and didn't make it back to the room in time. However, she provided a touch-up kit to ensure I still looked and felt my absolute best. Natalie's gentle, calming presence was a true gift during the busy getting-ready time. I cannot recommend Bellizzimo Beauty enough - their exceptional service and stunning results were worth every penny and made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day.

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Team of 5
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

I cannot recommend Ashanta enough for both hair AND makeup!!! She and her team showed up right on time and made me, eight bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law all look picture perfect for the big day. My look lasted me the ENTIRE day through a lot of photos, dancing, and partying and, having just gotten my wedding photos, I’m thrilled! She was incredibly receptive to any changes I wanted to make and I felt like a princess. The whole experience working with her was a 10/10 from the hair and makeup trial to the day of. I’m absolutely going to recommend her to everyone I can haha :)

Belle did my hair and makeup for my wedding reception on 10/5. She was punctual and professional, and I loved how my hair turned out. I don't usually wear makeup and was a bit worried about getting it done for the first time and not looking natural. Belle reassured me and checked in throughout the process to make sure I was happy with how everything looked. Although I'm not used to seeing myself in makeup, I was really happy with the result, and my friends said it looked great. I'm so glad I had Belle to do my hair and makeup that day.

Makeup artistry is a passion for me. I love being a part of such a special day! With years of experience, I love working with my clients to create their desired look that will leave them feeling beautiful and confident. I am an on location MUA which means I go to you! I believe all brides should feel pampered and worry free on their big day!

I am a minimal makeup girly but when my wedding day was coming up, I wasn't sure whether I should go the DIY route (as was most of my wedding), until a friend recommended Santana. Makeup by Santana was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very beginning, Santana's communication was clear, consistent, and she was open to my ideas, while also helping me narrow down and paint the picture of the look I was going for. Santana asked thoughtful questions during our trial makeup and then again on wedding day about the looks we had discussed prior, but was she was also assertive in guiding me towards the perfect beauty look (i.e., making minor changes such as lashes and asking if I was still okay with a certain look, color, etc.). On the day of, Santana made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to work her magic and create a flawless makeup application that lasted all night long. The quality of Santana's work was truly exceptional and worth every penny - I've never felt more glamorous! I would highly recommend Makeup by Santana to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and communicative beauty team to be part of their special day.

We offer brides the option for traditional makeup or airbrush application. All brides also receive a complimentary touch up kit for their big day .

I had such a wonderful experience with Klose Up Beauty/ Koryn for my San Francisco City Hall elopement. She did my hair and makeup, as well as my fiancé’s hair, and I was so happy to find someone who offered services for the groom too—something I didn’t see often while searching. She was incredibly fast and helpful when it came to communication, answering all my questions and putting me at ease right from the start. On the day of the wedding, she made me feel so comfortable while getting ready and was very attentive to making sure I was happy with the look. She encouraged me to speak up if I wanted anything changed, which I really appreciated—it made the experience feel very collaborative and relaxed. Since I got ready alone for the elopement, it meant a lot that she also helped me with my dress and veil. That extra bit of support made such a difference and really showed how much she cares about her clients. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—professional, warm, and truly thoughtful. Highly recommend her to anyone eloping or getting married in the area!

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!
