    Just Blow Drys did a wonderful job on the hair & makeup for my bridesmaids! All of the girls looked fantastic and were very happy with their services and experience at the salon. Andrea the bridal coordinator at the salon was very helpful in answering any questions I had and with scheduling the services. Great experience and very happy that I chose the salon for my bridesmaids!

    My mom, maid of honor and I had a fabulous experience with Shine Blow Dry Bar! The hair stylist and make up artist were incredibly talented and really understood what we all wanted, they executed it beautifully! Shine is a wonderful company to do business with. I highly recommend them for weddings and any other events, or even just a fun day of pampering!

    The girls at Shine were AMAZING!!! The salon is gorgeous, and as soon I sat down in the chair I was given a glass of champagne. I could not believe how beautiful I looked after everything was done. It was a total transformation. They are not only reasonably priced, but their work is beyond amazing.

    I love Shine! Not only is the team top notch, they were flexible and easy to work with. I had a wedding party of 7, we had a great time getting ready together while each girl got her own special attention. The addition of champagne and cupcakes was a fun perk that we loved and made the morning special. Shine was even able to fit in my mom last minute when I accidently left her out of the original head count.

    I highly recommend Shine for any special occasion!

    Came to Shine Blow Dry Bar on the morning of my wedding with 8 bridal party members and 2 flower girls. Everyone at Shine Bar was amazing and did an amazing job. They were able to accommodate all of us and get us out on time. Everyone was friendly and made sure we were all relaxed and having a great time.

    I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Shine! I was very impressed with their professionalism, their knowledge to replicate any style you want, and their overall fantastic attitudes.They came to my venue and did hair and makeup for the entire bridal party, the mothers, and myself. Everyone looked and felt exceptionally beautiful!They are all very talented and create such a relaxing and fun atmosphere! I can absolutely say this was the best day of my life and they were the perfect people to spend the morning with!

    Shine was great. The booking process was super convenient and efficient. They were accommodating and professional. It was a great place for all the ladies to convene the morning of the wedding. Everyone's hair looked amazing. The stylists were also great with the junior bridesmaids.

    I just wanted to say thank you for everything! You were such a pleasure to work with over the last few months, and from start to finish on my wedding day your team did a wonderful job! Everyone that I brought in had a blast, the staff was so friendly and fun, and they are all so talented! Everyone loved how cute the decor was in the bar, too! My hair and make up were phenomenal and I felt so beautiful! For not having a trial, the hair stylist and make up artist who worked on me totally nailed it! My hair and makeuo were flawless the whole day and night!! Thank you again for making my wedding day wonderful!

    we used Shine Blow Dry Bar for our hair and makeup the day of the wedding. We set up an appointment and when i told others how reasonable the price was, they all wanted their makeup and hair done also! We changed our contract multiple times to add on additional members of my family and they were fine with all of it. Everyone looked great on the day of the wedding, and my stylist went above and beyond what I could have imagined! My hair stayed looking great throughout the night, and I was very impressed with the salon. we used their santa barbara location and it was great experience. The only negative was that our party was sitting on opposite sides of the mirrors so you couldn't see what others were having done. Its a small salon so I understand, but it would have been nice to have everyone near each other. All in all I would definately recommend them.

    I loved my experience at Shine Blow Dry Bar! From the personal consultation / hair trial to the day of with my bridal party. Mimosas were a great touch to an already lovely time had. The hair dos and make up were done just the way I had pictured. Each girl looked fantastic and had a unique flair.

    Shine was the PERFECT place to get my hair done for my wedding. They did a fabulous job making my unruly hair look beautiful and were such a joy throughout the process.

    Shine's team did my hair & makeup (and the hair & makeup for the Maid of Honor) for my October wedding in Montecito, CA, and the staff were great on the day, offering us champagne and water while we were there. I did a test run on the hairstyle with Laura and she modified the style exactly how I requested for the big day. It was a complex 1/2 updo with horizontal french braiding around the back, and Laura nailed it! I got amazing complements! My makeup artist, Yolanda, was also great. She accommodated my request to use my own Chanel makeup colors and favorite eyeliner to create a dramatic bridal look that still looked like me :) Unfortunately, my MOH's makeup artist was not quite as skilled and put WAY to much foundation and powder on my sister - she ended up looking 10 years older and had to wipe off most of the makeup when we got home before photos...so be sure to request Yolanda for your entire bridal party.

    The girls I worked with, Yolanda and Maria were amazing! Maria did my hair and she did such a great job by using a picture I gave her. Yolanda does makeup like nobody else. I've had my makeup done before and didn't like it. I gave Yolanda an idea of whatt I was looking for and she did such a great job. I was so happy with the way these two worked and they're so sweet as well. If you want to look amazing on your wedding day, request these two and you won't be sorry!

    We had to reschedule our services a few times and they were very accommodating. Our group included two "tiny stars" and they were made to feel very special. We all looked great!

    I had my bridal hair and make-up and my bridesmaids' hair and make-up done at the Santa Barbara location. I loved the way my hair and make-up turned out and it was a lot cheaper than anywhere else I had looked.
    My girls all had blow-outs and curls for their hair and eyes and lips done for their make-up. Again, Shine was super affordable for my bridal party.
    The service was great - we were all offered mimosas, champagne, tea, or coffee upon arrival, and they also had cupcakes for us later on in the appointment. When one of my bridesmaids was unhappy with her make-up, they re-did it completely to make her happy at no extra charge.
    All of the stylists were very personable and fun to talk to during the appointment, and they let us bring our own food in so we could have lunch while getting beautified.

    Setting up the appointments for our group was a pleasure as I really felt like I received personal attention and that our business mattered. Last minute changes were handled with grace and our group was really excited. Unfortunately, when we checked in for the services, the personal touch was lost and our group was spread all over the salon. While mostly everyone was happy with the results, it wound up being a disjointed and chaotic experience. Even so, if I was in the area again and needed someone to curl my hair I'd stop by.

    Cindy & Linda are very nice and processional and were very accommodating to my wedding party. However, their stylists are average and the blowouts are not nearly as good as those I have received at Dry Bar or Blo Me Away.

    Stylists are not experienced with up-dos. I felt so awful after taking the entire bridal party here. I should have known better as this is a blow-out bar. One of the up-dos were acceptable but the rest were not. One bridesmaid had every single bobby-pin on her head showing. It looked terrible, we said something to the manager and she took a few minutes and tried to tuck the bobby-pins out of view, but there were too many to really make it look good. Another bridesmaid had thinner hair and the stylist was vocal about how thin her hair was and blamed his inability to style her hair on the quality of her hair! Funny thing is one of the other bridesmaids was able to do a soft updo when we got back to the hotel that looked fantastic in about 5-minutes. The flower-girls hair was a messy bun, and the salon charged us $75 which was $40 more than the original quoted flower-girl price. Negotiating the final bill was a nightmare, like the flower girl instance above the salon tried to gouge in many places adding dollars were they felt like it. It also took over a hour for them to “create” the final bill after we had been there all morning, we had to go next door for lunch while we were waiting for the bill. It was just a really horrible experience, not set up for weddings and definitely not something you want to deal with on a wedding day!

    Just Blow Drys's reply:

    I am so sorry for your experience that day, it does not sound like the experience we at Shine give. I do not have a date or name so I can't addresses this situation exactly. We do lots of weddings, and the stylists are very experienced in updos, and I do apologize for your experience that day.
