Something Blue Stylists

I got married Nov. 13, 2011. I was referred to Andrea & her team of stylists by a couple of coworkers that had used her for their weddings. I was a nervous bride searching & searching theknot.com & weddingwire, so I was so thankful for a recommendation. And when I went to the website, I was completely sold. It was very informative & answered almost every possible question I had, including pricing. I contacted Andrea immediately and booked her shortly thereafter. I bombarded her with emails over the months & she always responded so promptly, easing any fears & nerves I had and answering every single question thoroughly. Meeting her for the hair/makeup preview was a dream. She's so easy to get along with and I looked absolutely gorgeous!! On the day of the wedding, she & her team arrived promptly & started work! They transformed us into the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. We were all so happy with the results. Our looks were flawless. I can't give them enough compliments. My maid of honor just booked them for her Oct 2012 wedding! Her prices are very comparable with everything out there...but her quality is unmatched. You will not regret booking with Andrea & Something Blue Stylists. I wish I was getting married again just to get all dolled up by her again!!! =) Thank you for making us so beautiful Andrea!! I'll spread the word as much as I can!

When initially conducting my search for someone to do hair and make up for my August 27 wedding, I reached out to probably a half a dozen places. Andrea at Something Blue Stylists really stood out for a variety of reasons, including:1) She has a great web site. I’m not going to lie – online presence really matters a lot to me. I want to be able to see what you’ve previously done! If you’re good – you’ll show it off! And boy! Andrea’s good! She has a great online portfolio. (On another note, her web site is really great as everything you need from prep tips to an availability calendar is all right there online.)2) She has terrific reviews! I couldn’t find one review where people who were serviced by her weren’t happy.3) She’s moderately priced. Not the most inexpensive, but not out of my price range – she’s priced great for what she offers.4) She can do both hair and make up brilliantly. So nice to be able to work with one individual!I actually booked Andrea for our wedding after only exchanging a few emails; I was THAT confident in her ability.In July, I had my preview with her down in San Clemente (note: FAR San Clemente so prepare for a bit of a drive.) I came armed with pictures and waterproof mascara – and was all set! She was super talkative throughout the whole process – kind of like a friend would be. She made the experience fun. She understood exactly what I wanted based on the photos I showed her and did a great job of creating it. With lots of photos, we were then all set for the wedding day.I had an afternoon wedding – so well, practically still night time – Andrea and her assistant arrived at 4:45 a.m. to do my hair and make up, plus my four bridesmaids, plus my mum. For it being that early, she had a ton of energy, which was great for my girls and I to get us excited for the big day. She and her assistant were super efficient, giving my girls exactly what they were looking for. If something wasn’t right, (e.g. one of my bridesmaid’s bangs were a bit too high), she would accommodate the change (e.g. added bobby pins to reduce the volume). I know it must be frustrating to go back and make little changes, but you could never tell. She was always positive!My hair and make-up looked even better than it did on the preview day. I wanted to make one small change to my bangs from what we did that day and she understood straight away. Throughout the wedding and now from my photos, I’m receiving tons of compliments about my hair and make up. Thank you Andrea!

I am so happy that I booked Something Blue Stylist to do my hair and make-up for myself and the bridal party. Andrea and Shayna did an amazing job! Everyone in my bridal party looked absolutely stunning! Andrea and Shayna were completely understanding, and were willing to listen to what I wanted for my wedding day. I loved their professionalism and enthusiasm to do their best! They were both extremely helpful if we had any questions or concerns. I love that they are both open to any comments and are willing to give you suggestions if needed. Anything I needed from Andrea was always an email or a text message away. Booking Something Blue Stylist was the best decision I ever made, and I will be referring them to all the brides I know. My confidence in Andrea and Shayna gave me a stress free wedding (in terms of hair/make-up), because they truely advertise and deliver their artistry. You cannot go wrong with Something Blue Stylist!

Andrea is great...the preview appointment went perfect..She understood exactly what my daughter wanted and made suggestions as well. The day of the wedding she and an assistant arrived early to do hair and make up for 6 of us. Her timing was flawless. Everyone's hair came out just as my daughter wanted and the girls makeup looked beautiful. AND their hair stayed perfect all night. From 1 PM to !! PM...Andrea was able to add the flower girl hair in even though she was not on the original contract. (Thank you Andrea!) She even stuck around to help the photographer get my daughters bustle up higher so it didn't drag in a gravel path at the photo shoot. She is friendly, cheerful and was an absolute pleasure to have at my home...Thanks again!

I had the opportunity to work with Andrea from Something Blue Stylists before (she was the hair stylist for my friend Sarah's wedding in June 2009), so when it came time to find a hairstylist for my wedding, I knew I had to work with Andrea again. And when I compared her prices with other wedding hair stylists, her prices were reasonable and I knew I could trust her.Her vision for bridal hair styling is amazing. When we had our hair trial, I wasn't worried at all. I knew whatever we decided to do with my hair would turn out beautiful. Andrea's talent combined with her professional skills were exactly what I needed for my wedding day. She not only made me feel beautiful, my bridesmaids loved her too. I would highly recommend Something Blue Stylists to anyone. Her prices, her talents, her professionalism; everything about her is a 10!!! Thanks again Andrea for making me feel like a star on my wedding day! I hope to work with you again soon...

Andrea was fantastic. SHe was vibrant, creative, and really into making me look with in a look I felt comfortable in. Her makeup is classic and beautiful. She is flexible and affordable, even has a military discount :) My bridesmaids liked working with her so much they are recommending her to all her other friends who are getting married!

Andrea at Something Blue Stylists is wonderful!! She is super sweet and easy to work with. The preview was great. I gave her an idea of what I wanted and she exceeded my expectations. On the day of the wedding, Andrea arrived early with her second stylist and got me, my two bridesmaids, my mom and my aunt ready and beautiful in time for the photographer to take some pictures before heading to the church. My hair and makeup held up well all day! My wedding pictures came out great too. Andrea made me feel beautiful on my special day and I am truly thankful. I strongly recommend her to any bride to be!

Andrea was AWESOME! She was so fun to work with and immediately made me feel comfortable. She worked with my wedding situation and provided great services for a price that was lower than any others I could find! When she did my hair and makeup I got the look that I wanted, which for me was natural, but beautiful. She didn't overdo it on the makeup and the hair was perfect! The first look we did wasn't quite my cup of tea, though I looked beautiful, and she adjusted it to be just amazing!

Andrea at Something Blue Stylists was AMAZING!! She is such a sweetheart and so much fun to work with. My preview appointment was awesome, I brought her photos of hairstyles and makeup I liked and described the look I was going for and she totally made it look so much better than I could have imagined. My hair and makeup was perfect and my fiance could not stop complementing me when he saw me after my preview. On the day of the wedding, Andrea arrived early with her second stylist and got all of us glammed up, including two additional services added day of, in time to get to the church. My hair and makeup held up so well all day, even after hours of dancing and some unexpected winds. I just picked up my photos from our photographer and I can't believe how beautiful she made me look!! Thank you so much Andrea, I would recommend you to anyone!! :)

I found my right guy and I found my perfect makeup & hair stylist!Thank you very much you made me stunning!!!!!It was really fablous,and Andrea & her assistant never waste our time!Their team work was amazing and me and my girls (plus my mon) had a magical day!Once again,Thank you Andrea,I am looking forward to work with you someday soon!!!!!Mmmmwah!

If you happened to stumble across my write-up in search of someone to do hair and make-up on your big day, look to further! Something Blue Stylists is hands down the best in Southern California! I too found them on a bridal website, I truly did not know what to expect. I have to say, I was very much surprised with an outstanding outcome. Everyone at the wedding was just amazed, they did hair and make-up of my sisters and bridal party and even our flower girls ( whom BTW, did not want to undo their hair for a week). They went beyond the call of duty and helped in all aspects that we needed. Everyone at the our wedding was asking for their contact information. Truly the event would not have been the same... If you'd like to see her work on me and how much fun we had you can find a clip of it on YouTube from our videographers just search: Valerie and James SDE . The best advice I can give from one bride to another is hire Something Blue Stylists and enjoy every part of your wedding ;-) Valerie

Andrea Martin of Something Blue Stylists was Terrific. She did amazing hair for my bridesmaids(4), 2 moms and myself. She is very efficient and thorough and does amazing updo's. Her style is very contemporary and not too flashy. Her style is very classic and beautiful!! She also gave me an option to help with touch ups following the ceremony and pictures and that was a great addition!! She made my wedding day SOOO SEAMLESS and Wonderful!! I would recommend Andrea to any Bride to Be!!!

Andrea was amazing! Her and her assistant arrived on time and went to work on about 8 girls' hair and makeup. They worked their magic in the amount of time we had before the ceremony and made me feel so at ease. We even had one more girl decide to get their makeup done the day of because she saw how amazing all the girls looked. My hair and makeup lasted all day and night, and with my oily skin I was worried, but Andrea took good care of me :) I highly recommend Something Blue Stylists! Thanks Andrea... and congrats ;)

Andrea did an amazing job! She was very profesional, and fun to work with. She arrived right on time, and finished everyones hair and makeup with time to spare. MY only complaint would be that I wish she would have done my makeup, instead of her assistant. Her assitant did a great job, but it did not look quite the same as when Andrea did it during the trial.

I hired Something Blue Stylists for my wedding on 8/8/10. Andrea was amazing! She did my hair exactly the way I had dreamed of it looking. She listened to what I wanted and was open to changing anything I didn't like. She not only did my hair, but my makeup as well. She was calm and never made me feel like we had to rush even though she had 11 girls hair to do! Shayna was awesome too! She was very personable and laid back. Even though only 7 girls signed up to get their makeup done, she was willing to add the other 3 girls who decided the day of to get their makeup done. Her work was amazing and very professional! Thanks to both of you for a great day!!

I booked Andrea because of her prices! It is very very affordable compared to other vendors. She was also quick in responding to emails which I appreciate. On the day of the wedding, Andrea and her assistant arrived early. They both did an excellent job and we received so many praises! All I can say is that I'm very happy I booked her and I assure you that you won't be disappointed like me.

Andrea is professional, easy going, and great to work with. I met her a little over a year before my wedding since she was the vendor for my cousin's wedding. Being a bridesmaid a handful of times and working with different vendors in the past, this was the first time that my hair and make up looked great all around. I knew I had to book her for my wedding! Not only that, but Andrea's vision and expertise really adds along to her arsenal. She is efficiently quick and her work speaks for itself. I felt and looked amazing at both the preview and on my wedding day. She gave me the fresh and romantic look, which lasted all day and night.

I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough!! I was definitely on a budget for my wedding, and Andrea was the perfect fit for me. You can't get any better unless you have a friend do it for free! She was extremely professional for she always responded to my emails quickly, and she was always on time and ready to go. And since I was on location, she found the hotel with ease and I didn't have to worry about a thing! She was great at listening to what I wanted (kind of beachy, casual hair with natural make-up) but made sure that I would look fabulous all day long. She was also extremely flexible (some of my bridesmaids changed their mind that they wanted their hair done, but she totally fit them in!) and just a great personality. Thanks Andy!!

Andrea was very very good! i booked her literally a month before my wedding. she was very responsive and helpful. She got to my hotel at 6 in the morning even earlier then the scheduled time. She would give good suggestions and yet thrive to achieve what a bride wants for her look. Very reasonable pricing as well. I highly recommend her!

I could not have been more happy with Andrea! Her prices are great, she was punctual (even at 6am!), energetic, and willing to do whatever it took to please me. She has such a great attention to detail you will for sure look your best. Andrea was exactly what I needed to keep me calm while getting ready. She uses the individual lashes so your eyes don't feel heavy like the strips do. My make-up and hair lasted the entire day. My friends and family loved the way I looked.My mom also used her and cried when she saw herself. She couldn't describe what she wanted done and Andrea did exactly what she had envisioned.
