Beauty and the Beach

Heather did a wonderful job! She was a major factor in making my Wedding day perfect. She was flexible with the weather and all the chaos of the house. ;) She styled mine (the bride) and my sister's hair, plus did make up for me, my mom, my sister, and another bridesmaid. She was calm, patient, quick, caring, focused, detailed, and made all of us look absolutely beautiful. I dream of rewinding the Wedding day and starting over and would want to go all the way back to the beginning with my time spent with Heather getting ready.

Pros: Beauty and the Beach did a great job on my hair and makeup. I really liked the airbrush technique that they used. My makeup lasted and looked great all night! Cons:The services are costly.

My bride used Katie (the owner) for her hair and make up services for both our engagement photo shoot and wedding day. She met her at her studio for her initial consultation in San Clemente. For the photo shoot, Katie travelled to our house and for the wedding, went to the hotel. Katie was very easy to work with and listened to my bride's concerns, likes, and dislikes. Success - my bride looked stunning and fabulous on both our photo shoot and wedding day! Breathtaking!!!

Katie did an amazing job on hair for my weddding! She made me, my bridesmaids and my grandma very happy. She was cool under time contraints and never cut corners with our end product. Her airbrushing was flawless. I would recommend her to every bride I know. Thank you Katie!

Katie was awesome. I had no idea what I wanted when I walked into the preview, but it only took one try for both hair and make-up and it was perfect. She is so friendly and easy-going, and I felt so comfortable with her right away. On my wedding day, we had 10 girls getting hair done and 8 getting make-up done. Katie brought in three associates, and between the three of them, my ladies never looked better. My hair looked FABULOUS, and my make-up so natural. It lasted all night. I think i was done around noon, and at 11pm it was still there!! :) I highly recommend Beauty and the Beach.

Love, love, love Beauty and the Beach. I first met Katie at my trial appointment. Katie looked at the pictures I brought and discussed my thoughts before she started. Then as she was working or trying different things she would get my opinion until everything was just how I wanted it. I felt really good after leaving the trial.The day of the wedding her and her team were awesome! They showed up on time (a huge plus in my book) and they got along with everyone very well. They really seemed like a part of our group of family and friends! Not to mention the work that they did. Everyone looked gorgeous and was happy with how her hair and make-up turned out. I was ecstatic because I felt I looked even better than at the trial. And best of all, my hair, which was in an updo, stayed intact all night (another definite plus, especially considering how hot it was).I'm so grateful to Katie and her team for their positive attitude, their friendly personalities, and they great job they did!

My hair and make-up looked awesome and they were able to make my thin, fine hair have volume and curl. I think the trial should be included in the package though, but i didn't do it and my hair and make-up turns out great.

I absolutely loved working with Heather from Be Yourself Bride. She was so flexible with me on so many levels. I was able to send her pictures of what I wanted and she performed beautifully. I loved having my hair and makeup done in the comfort of my own home.. it took so much of the hassle out of the equation. Heather was so calm and fit in naturally with my family and bridal party. I definitely recommend Beauty and the Beach to any bride who wants to be pampered on her wedding day and be assured that her look will be flawless.

From the Bride:Niki and Katie did a beautiful job on me, my Mom and the bridesmaids! Everybody looked stunning with the airbrush makeup and other products they used, which were excellent. They are super-friendly and came to our venue in Temecula. We did run a little later than planned, and since I (the bride) was last this caused a small hiccup in our timeline, but overall I am very satisfied with their service, highly recommend them and may use them again myself!

Katie is absolutely amazing when it comes to hair and make-up. I usually do not wear a lot of make-up, or take a lot of time to do my hair up nice every day, but Katie worked her magic and me feel like a princess. She listens so carefully to what you want to look like on your special day, and helps your vision become a reality. Her work is stunning, and I have had the pleasure to watch her work her magic on several of my friends as well, and every time I am blown away with her work. If I ever have another special occasion that I need to get dolled up for, I will be sure to call Katie up and ask her for help.

AWESOME service, great person, beautiful hair and makeup, great value. Obviously there are lots of expenses in planning a wedding and the costs were getting me nervous. By luck I found Katie though searching for hair and makeup artists in San Clemente (where I got married) and I couldn't be MORE grateful!! Katie was an awesome person that I immediately clicked with. I went in for my preview and she immediately understood my vision for my special day and did my hair and makeup perfect. I was SOOOOO sad to have to take it off and out (I didn't want my then fiance to see my wedding look) and excited for what was in store for the big day.Katie is such a sweetheart and really talented to give you the look you want for your day. I was so stressed that we couldn't arrive at our wedding venue early enough to get all of the girls in our party ready, so she opened up her studio without hesitation to all of us on our weddding day to get ready! She was so nice to let us have a mini pre-party and relax on the big day. I was so grateful!!! Her studio is so cute and perfect setup to get ready. All of my girlfriends raved about what an amazing job she did. The look she gave me was flawless and natural. My makeup withstood all of my tears that flowed down my face when I cried happy tears throughout my wedding. MY MAKEUP NEVER FADED! It was amazing. And when the time came to take it off, it was not difficult. My hair also withstood they hours of dancing! It looked so natural and beautiful.Honestly I have to give her a HUGE thanks for making her services affordable. There are so many hair and makeup artists that absolutely RACK UP the prices and overcharge just because it's a wedding. It's so unfair. Katie can honestly charge A LOT higher price because her services are so good, but she makes it affordable. She is SO WORTH IT! (and then some) Thank you Katie! You made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

I was so happy and so lucky to have found Katie for my wedding!! I had both hair and makeup done with her and both were perfect. The preview was awesome and then on my wedding day she and her team were so great! Exactly what I wanted, so impressed! All my bridesmaids and the mothers were equally impressed! I would highly recommend Katie, very talented, and very sweet!

Katie and Beauty and the Beach were amazing for my wedding hair and make-up! Not only is she super cool (and her staff), but she actually listens to what you want and can do it! I brought in several examples to my trial and we tweeked some things after for the day of...it turned out amazing! Everyone kept telling me how gorgeous my hair (and make-up) were and asking who did it. Even my bridesmaids who at times can be difficult to please or vague in what they want were so happy with Beauty and the Beach. Katie made the payment super easy as well and was really responsive, even when she had just had a baby!! They also came out to Temecula for the wedding so we all got to hang out at a house and get done up...even the mom's got their make-up and hair done. It all turned out fabulous, I wouldn't change a thing!Highly recommend them for your wedding!! Thanks so much! - Ashley

I couldn't be more happy to let everyone know how much I loved the services provided by Katie and Beauty and the Beach! I had some bad experiences with other makeup and hair stylists, simply trying to schedule a preview with them. But Katie makes everything so easy, from the convenient online shopping cart, to her quick responses to questions and emails, and her great flexibility when I wanted to add some last minute services. She has the sweetest personality and is exactly the kind of person you want to have around you the morning of your wedding day. She really listened to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations -- I think in the end I may have even liked my hair and makeup better than my dress! My bridesmaids and family looked gorgeous and on top of it all her prices are great! Every time I look at my wedding photos I'm thrilled to see that Katie helped me to look exactly the way I had dreamed of.

I asked Katie to do my hair and makeup on the recommendation of two other brides. She was fabulous!Katie did my hair and makeup on my wedding day and a few of her staff did my bridesmaids hair and makeup. Katie's team was great, we were all laughing and at ease while they worked their magic on our hair and makeup. Katie is so sweet. When she did my trial I felt instantly at ease. She had alot of inspiration pictures and worked with my hair and makeup until it was exactly what I wanted. She even did three different hair styles during my trial to help me decide. One of my bridesmaids even hired her to do her wedding.

I just wanted to say Thank YOU to Katie and her amazing team Mariah, Heather, Courtney, for making me the bride and all of the women in my bridal party look amazing on my wedding day!! Your professionalism, enthusiasm, friendliness, and patience really showed!! It was wonderful how your team helped my bridal party pick out their hairstyles and makeup and everyone was so happy with their outcomes. I can't thank you enough for everything that you did from the beginning of the hair and make-up preview to the finishing touches of making me and my bridal party look glamorous!!! It was pleasure working with you and your team!Wendy

Katie, the owner, and her lead stylist were so wonderful! They did my hair on my wedding day and also did my bridesmaids and flower girls hair. Everyone looked absolutely amazing and Katie was such a pleasure to work with. She and her lead stylist were so professional and extremely friendly. They worked well with all the girls to figure out just what hairstyle they each wanted and everyone was so happy with the outcome. Additionally, Katie did several trials on me and was always patient with me even though I kept changing my mind on which style I wanted to go with. She helped me through the entire decision making process and in the end helped me decide on the perfect hairstyles for my special day! I will recommend Beauty and the Beach to everyone!

I booked a trial with Heather at their shop in San Clemente. Heather and I clicked instantly......she is so friendly and easy to get along with. She was able to duplicate the hair style from the picture I brought in. I think it looked even better than the picture! I have thin hair, so I had her add some extensions. It looked perfect! She even helped me choose hair accessories and earrings for my wedding day! Now that is customer service. She always responded quickly through email and sent me reminder emails and updates. She is VERY professional. On the wedding day, Heather and her team were very punctual. They set up their stations and got to work on my 6 bridesmaids and me. Everyone looked so beautiful. I would not hesitate to book with Beauty and the Beach. Thank you Heather for helping me reach my bridal beauty potential ;)

I didn't pay so I really can't answer value for cost but the girls all did a beautiful job and were very kind and accommodating!

Heather Puhek did my hair and makeup for my wedding. I don't live in California, so I had to coordinate my wedding from far away. Heather and her stylist worked with me from afar and were very accommodating and helpful. The day of my wedding was awesome. Heather and her team showed up at my hotel room and created magic for my four brides maids and mother-in-law. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful. I would not change a thing about my wedding day and I owe a huge thanks to Heather and her team!
