About

Hi, my name is Jillian Rae and I LOVE doing Wedding Hair!!

My experience began ten years ago in San Diego, where I was born and raised. I started my career doing hair for Bridal Fashion Shows and immediately fell in love with everything about the wedding industry. It was all so beautiful... the flowers, the dresses, the hair and makeup! I spent much of that time as well in a few top San Diego Salons mastering the art of Color, Cutting, & Styling. What I loved more than anything though was working with Brides, so in 2009, "Wedding Hair by Jillian Rae" was started. Since then I have won Brides Choice by Wedding Wire for several years. I have been featured on Every Last Detail , 100 Layer Cake 1 , 100 Layer Cake 2 , Carats & Cake , Rustic Wedding Chic, and Style me Pretty .

As your wedding stylist my top priority is to really listen to what my bride describes she wants; looking at pictures with her, evaluating the hair style with her face shape and dress, and helping her choose the right hair accessories to pull the whole look together. I want my brides to feel totally taken care of and relaxed the day of their wedding, confident and calm. I am not only a Stylist on your wedding day, but a friend, and I will go above and beyond to make sure you are completely satisfied. On your wedding day you should feel like yourself, just ten times more glamorous.

Jillian is amazing!

Planning my wedding in 9 days was very challenging. Jillian was able to make everything happen for me in such short notice. I would recommend her in a heart beat. She is very flexible and came super early since our ceremony was at 10am. My hair was perfect. I wouldn't have change a thing. Thank you again for being so sweet and understanding to my situation.

Jillian is the best!

When I was going through the wedding planning process, I was very particular about my hair because I have had horrible experiences as a bridesmaid. I found Jillian on Instagram and was instantly drawn to her because all of her brides hair styles were absolutely stunning! The same was true for me on my wedding day. She styled my hair exactly as I had invisioned and it looked perfect. I received so many compliments! Jillian is also an incredibly sweet person and I am so thankful I was able to work with her for our wedding.

Amazing Experience by Jillian Rae

I was so lucky to have found Jillian for my wedding! She is an expert at making sure that the bride and wedding party have beautiful hair on such an important day! I did a trial, clip in extensions, beach waves and wore my hair half up. She listened to exactly what I wanted and it turned out perfect! Thank you Jillian!

Feeling gorgeous on your wedding day!

Jillian was such a gem. She was amazing on my wedding day and leading up to it. She even came to my home to do the trial hair. I had never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. Jullian has a kind and warm heart, which is one of the reasons I chose her to be apart of my special day. She was on time, professional, serving everyones needs ( I had a 6 bridesmaids). She was just incredible... they say weddings are the most stress full of times but hiring Jullian made it easy. She came prepared and ready to make gorgeous. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Great Wedding Hairstylist

Jillian is a great hairstylist. Her final product speaks for itself. All my bridesmaids loved their hair too! I'm so glad she did my hair for the wedding. I wouldn't go to anyone else.
Thank you!!

She’s the best!

Normally with my hair, curls don’t last than an hour. But with Jillian, she made my wedding hair stay ALL DAY LONG!! My curls lasted for 10 hours!!

She is amazing!

Jillian is AMAZING!!!! My hair was one of the things I was most worried about on my wedding day and knew if it wasn't perfect it would drive me crazy- however I was not one of those brides who knew exactly what I wanted my hair to look like. I did a trial with Jillian and my hair looked great! About a month before the wedding, I changed my mind on what I wanted and I sent her a couple of pictures of different hairstyles. On my wedding day without a trial of the new hairstyles she took the new pictures and created a masterpiece! My hair was absolutely perfect! Our wedding was in August and it was quite hot outside. I was worried my hair and my bridesmaids hair would fall from the sweat and heat and no ones fell even slightly! Jillian is so creative and took all of my bridesmaid's ideas and every one of them turned out perfect! She is also so speedy! She did 10 of us in less than 5 hours! BOOK HER! You won't regret i!

I worked with Jillian on a styled shoot at Rancho Las Lomas and her hair skillz were amazing. One of my images taken that day was actually reposted by wedding.com because of her beautiful side fishbone braid was perfection. I hope to work with Jillian and her team again.
