Status Salon

ndly, professional, and clear about expectations (services, potential timelines, prices, etc.). After booking their services for my wedding, they were very responsive through their communication portal and always made me feel valued even though I felt silly asking some possible “obvious questions.” I decided to move forward with doing a hair and makeup trial run a couple of months before my wedding, and I would highly recommend this! I know wedding budgets can be tight, but I am so glad I did a trial because it helped me establish an even stronger rapport with JD and Elise and they made the experience so comfortable and fun (their staff who checked us in were also super sweet and welcoming!). I am not someone who does my own hair and makeup often or even has much of an opinion what I think looks good on me. JD and Elise were so kind and professional and had me bring in inspiration photos that I might be interested in. They gave their insight and were super supportive about my ideas and I couldn’t be happier about what their final plan was! I felt so confident and beautiful, and I still looked and felt like myself, which was very important to me. On my wedding day, JD, Elise, and Cassie were very punctual and stuck with the expected timeline seamlessly. All of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law, felt so comfortable and welcomed with their positive energy and that really set the tone for the rest of the day. JD, Elise, and Cassie were not only extremely professional and talented in their hair and makeup skills, but they are genuinely such kind, sweet, thoughtful, and respectful individuals, and that is what truly stood out to me during my time with them and I cannot thank them enough. JD, as the owner of Status Salon, your team’s kindness, professionalism, and strong communication/ interpersonal skills are clear reflections of your strong leadership and management skills, so they are so lucky to have a leader like you! I highly recommend Status Salon if you are looking for hair and makeup services in the Bay Area! They are an amazing team and will go above and beyond to make your experiences so smooth, fun, and memorable!

eir hair and makeup as well, and the whole team was very professional, on time, and lovely to work with! Definitely recommend!

l on my wedding day. Thank you for everything!!

r did our hair and wow is she talented. I was obsessed with my wedding hair! Maddie and Taylor were fun, friendly, and very professional. I highly recommend having them on your bridal team.

ough all the girls in a timely manner that we managed to get ahead of schedule which I really appreciated. All my girls had very different hair types and textures and Shawna was able to get them all to hold the entire night! Maddie did an amazing job with the makeup. She understood what I wanted for myself and my girls and executed really well.

I had reached out to several hair/makeup artists and not a single one was as kind, helpful and responsive as JD and her team. They took away all the questions marks that I had around the 'get ready' time of the wedding day and put my mind at ease. Sydney and Taylor did my hair and makeup trial and truly nailed it right off the bat, it made me feel so comfortable and excited for the actual day. On the wedding day, the team - Sydney, Taylor, Maddie and Shawna - were just the best. All of my bridesmaids have raved about how much they loved their hair and makeup, and how these four helped the energy in the get ready suite be even more fun. They truly just felt like part of the group. I highly recommend reaching out to Status Salon for your wedding, they made such a positive impact on our day and it would not have been the same without them! Plus - all of our hair and makeup looked fantastic, even at 1AM when the party finally wound down! :)

ble at the salon and worked with Shawna and Sydney, who were the hair and makeup artists respectively, on the day of our event. It was an early start and the team was energized and ready to go as soon as we arrived. The bridesmaids and family members who also booked services were thrilled with their work and happy with their company. Both Shawna and Sydney took time with their clients to review photos and discuss changes to ensure that everyone was happy with the plan of action. Everyone was extremely happy with the results and had a lot of fun taking photos at the studio as well. Shawna and Sydney were also very receptive of the feedback that I provided after our hair and makeup trial. They continued to have other suggestions throughout the preparation which (I believe) improved the result even more. Sydney even took the time to try different false eyelashes to make sure that I loved them. Shawna is also amazing with arranging flowers. We were unable to try this during the trial but once they arrived the morning of the event, she masterfully placed them in my hair. The final result was even better than I could have imagined. We had so much fun working with the girls at Status Salon. The energy was at the max as soon as we started and did not fade throughout our time together. Shawna and Sydney are the sweetest and we were sad that it had to end. You’ll be in the best hands when working with any of the artists here.

and their team was incredibly accommodating, patient, organized, prompt, and professional. Both of our stylists (JD and Morgan) did an amazing job on hair and makeup, and after my trial, they took my requests into account and made it exactly what I had hoped for. They are also so fun & the hype women we needed on my special day! One of the best decisions I made on vendors for my wedding day. They even do a complimentary blowout for brides that I used over 2 years later, and the team was as kind and welcoming as ever.

ng 15+ hours of talking, laughing, drinking, eating and the only thing I had to touch up was my glossy balm. The women that work here are friendly, talented, and hilarious. Would hire again 100/10.

was thrilled with my hair and makeup, and everyone else was very happy with their hair and makeup, too. Everyone in the group usually wore little to no makeup, and Pearl and Taylor did a great job with light, natural looks for everyone. I was especially impressed with how their makeup for my mom and mother-in-law -- it wasn't too much, and they both felt and looked beautiful. They were SO easy to work with (Elise was so responsive!) and they finished ahead of time and helped the day run smoothly. Highly recommend Status Salon!

rk was incredible! We all loved our final styles. The folks at Status were easy to work with regarding scheduling, contracts, etc., as well! Can't recommend the Status team enough.

awna did my glam, and it was perfect! They truly listened and made me feel like me on my wedding day!

, empathetic, and overall just wanted to make sure I was enjoying myself, and made sure I felt comfortable in my own skin. I can never thank her enough for being a part of this memorable day. Thank you for being you and for your amazing artistry.

in their chairs was relaxing and good conversation was had. No part of the process left me feeling uncomfortable at any point. I would highly recommend.

e consulted us on what we personally like in our hair and make up and then performed magic and made us all look amazing! I would definitely hire them for my own wedding!

he took grand ideas and made it into a masterpiece. The compliments alone were worth it.

ce and coloring) that I have ever had, but was kind and an absolute joy to work with. I wear minimal makeup, and this process was quick and painless. I could not have asked for a better experience and will be seeing Raelynn for all of my future makeup needs!

d it on my big day. It was lovely working with everyone on the Status Team. They were very warm and knowledgeable, and everyone in my bridal party looked amazing on my wedding day! I felt like the most beautiful and natural version of myself.

working with her throughout the process. She went up and beyond to make sure that I look and feel my best. She helped me get dressed at the salon and secured the veil and crown as well. She is one of the kindest person I know! Thank you for everything, Elise and Status Salon! I would totally come back again and looking forward to seeing you all soon.

eous all evening.

he night! Our wedding party all looked great- both hair and makeup done by Shawna and Sarah. They arrived spot on time and were ready to get going on wedding day.

ional, engaging, and super fun to work with. I highly recommend Shawna for your event!

hen to the wedding day itself. These girls were so bubbly and friendly but also very professional. They took my small ideas of what I wanted to do and turn them into my dream bridal look. I would hire them over and over again. Any important event that I need hair and makeup help with you best believe I’m coming back to these wonderful ladies!!!

dding events including bridal shower glam, spray tans, eyelash curling, extensions, makeup and hair. Their team does it all! They listened carefully to the vision of each person in the bridal party. Everyone was very happy with their look. We trust them and their skills and highly recommend their services for any of you special events. Thank you Status! Oliver and Rachel Miller

ed me aside and said, "WOW. I have always hated getting my makeup done, but these ladies are INCREDIBLE." The team at Status truly listens and lets you take the lead, resulting in hair and makeup that you can feel comfortable in, all day. They took extra care with my Matron of Honor, ensuring that her makeup was hypoallergenic and fit to her needs. JD even stayed after our ceremony to help me touch up (tears aplenty!) If you are looking for a professional, charismatic, and excellent hair and makeup team, look no further. THESE LADIES ARE AMAZING.

id 2019 and with the complications that came with COVID, they worked with me very easily to adjust our date and services needed. In the end, I had three hair and make up services and EVERY SINGLE one of us looked so beautiful. JD arrived early, was fun to hang out with on the day of and did the services exactly as requested. She was kind and helpful in providing recommendations for styles from an expert without being pushy or trying to change our minds. I could not recommend Status Salon more for your event needs!

it first -- this was huge and allowed me to not have any reactions! I sent JD over pictures of my dream hair + makeup and she did them PERFECTLY. All of our us ladies understand how hard it is to color match foundations -- not to look orange or a weird color. JD did this perfectly. I seriously looked like myself but upgraded and felt like a million bucks. JD is seriously THE SWEETEST and FUNNIEST person too. What some people don't realize is that getting ready is a significant part of the wedding day and so the personality of your makeup + hair artist is extremely important. No worries here! JD is literally the funniest, nicest lady ever! She makes you feel like you are instant best friends, all while giving you the perfect hair + makeup. She kept checking in with me throughout the process to make sure every detail lived up to my expectations -- and wow did it! There were many details in the dream makeup picture I sent over that I didn't even know -- and she allowed me to say yes or no to each step. Also! I was getting ready during lunch and she somehow did my makeup + hair while I ate lunch. She was so encouraging to remind me to eat (a very important thing on your day!). Last but not least -- my mom wanted makeup with JD on the day of but she asked for it the day before my wedding. JD was able to squeeze my mom in after my maid of honor and I, and my mom LOVED her. I am forever grateful to JD. Also! In scheduling, I got to work with the incredible Elise and she is a serious gem as well. They are incredibly responsive in email and text. BOOK STATUS SALON NOW! You literally will not regret it -- you have no idea how talented these ladies are.

nded. Now I understand why! JD was great to work with initially by phone and email, and then I was put in touch with stylist Maddie. We communicated by FaceTime and text to create the look I was hoping for (using inspiration photos, descriptions, etc.), and she practiced on her hair doll and real clients since we couldn't have an in-person trial. So appreciated! Then it was great to work with her on my wedding day. She was so bubbly and sweet, professional, and very skilled. My updo looked fantastic! So beautiful! I appreciate Maddie's skills, communication leading up to the date, and her enthusiasm. Thanks Maddie!

hMo as my hairstylist. She is fun, excited for you and has a huge amount of positive energy making you feel like the party is ready to start. She reviewed all of my images, placed the extensions in from Extensions by JD to give me all the volume and length needed for the style of updo I was hoping for. The morning of the wedding, she was so calm, focused and communicated the whole process of what she was doing. Her timing was impeccable so I never worried if I was on time. She saw things and reached out to correct them like my son's haircut and my mother's hair and wanted everything and everyone to look perfect for my day. Ashley aka AshMo was the saving grace I needed to keep me calm. I could not have asked for anything else more and truly grateful she was there for me and my family. Trust your vendors! I truly trusted Status Salon to put something so important and fragile in their hands. JD and all of her staff all amazing, hair, makeup, extensions you name they excel's at it and her staff is the most caring out there. Trust your Vendors. I trust Status Salon

k and feel even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She really is a dream to work with and I'd recommend her and her team to anyone! In addition to JD we had her amazing partners, Elise and Morgan, there to assist. These ladies killed it! They were able to bring each and every one of my bridesmaids vision to life and not a single person left feeling like it wasn't quite what they wanted. I thought everyone (including our mom's) looked absolutely stunning! I wish we could do the day all over again because kicking off your wedding morning with the Status ladies and your besties is indescribable! SO MUCH FUN! Xx!

eup services to me, my mother, and my bridesmaids on my wedding day in August 2019. They traveled to our hotel in Walnut Creek and setup in my suite very creatively, despite the huge lack of natural lighting; we were able to use diffuse lights within the room and check everything in the one window we did have, before the party left for the venue. All three artists did stellar jobs ensuring we all looked and felt beautiful. Plus, they have the BEST taste in pre-wedding music :) I want to give a special shout-out to JD, the owner of the salon -- she is extremely talented, kind, and professional with her clients. During my trial run, I felt so comfortable and that I could be transparent about what I loved/hated about my look -- it was truly collaborative with JD. On the day of the wedding, she not only made me look like an enhanced (not Kardashian-ized) version of myself for my wedding, but she was also attentive to me person-to-person -- I'm sure she has seen all kinds of pre-wedding emotions, and I cannot say enough how much I appreciated her empathy with my mixture of excitement and nervousness. In short, Status Salon is fabulous and I highly recommend this team for any hair or makeup services needed!

ding consultation, booking etc. Our event was during the July 4 weekend when things get busy and booked up in advance. But JD accommodated my last minute demand of adding two additional hair services. On the day of, they came early to set up and were very good with their time management. While I was quite nervous about the event in general, JD and Raelynn helped me relax. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and did not want a very heavy set makeup for the event as well. Raelynn respected that and did a very natural looking makeup that enhanced my best features. JD did my hair and made sure the bobby pins weren't hurting my head. I did a good thing of trusting their judgement when it came to doing my hair and makeup For my bridal party, the girls who were doing their own makeup, Raelynn even helped them out with the lashes and fixing eye makeup etc. At the end of the night, I not only got a lot of compliments but my hair and make up were intact even after plenty of tears and a night of crazy dancing. I would like to thank them both for making my day so special :)

had a trial with both of them, as well. Raelynn did my bridesmaids and mother-in-law. Everyone looked stunning - these women are such talented artists! My mom had a number of questions about getting her makeup done given some skin issues. JD and Elise worked with her so kindly and patiently before the wedding to address her concerns. My mom looked so radiant on the wedding day, and I've never seen her feel so comfortable and confident! This meant so much to me. JD, Elise and Raelynn also had such calm, fun vibes. Exactly what I needed the morning of my wedding day! I can't wait to find another reason to book Status Salon again.

nk you for bringing our wedding vision to life!! The Status team is extremely professional, yet so personable that they quickly became like family to us. The entire process from booking to our wedding day was so easy and accommodating. They flew across America to be a part of our wedding day! They were able to execute above and beyond what we asked for. For my rehearsal dinner, we had the team do hair for each of the bridesmaids as well as my hair + make up. We all looked STUNNING and had a little mini photo shoot before the dinner. The photos came out so perfect! On the wedding day, they conceptualized our vision and seamlessly executed the looks across all of the girls. As the bride, my hair and make up came out flawlessly. The girls even stayed around for touch ups throughout the evening. In moments where I was becoming nervous / anxious throughout the day, the girls were there to comfort me and give me a little pep talk. Not to mention, they are SO much fun! We will always be thankful for the Status Salon team, and I will definitely be booking them for all of my hair / make up needs in the future. Thank you so much!

nd JD was still able to make time for me in her busy schedule to do my trail the one weekend I was home and I am so grateful she did! I had a very vague idea of what I wanted makeup wise and JD took that idea and went above and beyond for both my trail and big day. My makeup looked so incredible both in person and in pictures, I got compliments all night. I also booked them for my bridal party girls too and they all looked so stunning . They each had different hair/makeup requests and Elise and JD really listened to what they wanted and made any adjustments the girls asked for. Besides being talented artists, JD and Elise are also the sweetest and really easy to talk to which is important when you are spending hours with them before your wedding! Can't thank them enough.

ith JD. She is incredibly enthusiastic, warm, communicative, and professional. From our very first phone call, she put me at ease and made me feel so comfortable. She suggested that we schedule a beauty trial when I was next in the area and she was very accommodating with my travel schedule. Her knowledge and skill at the beauty trial were evident and made me (and my mom) super excited for the big day! I especially appreciated JD's hard work to order me the perfect hair pieces and to create the day-of timeline for all of my ladies' services. On the day of my wedding, JD and Raelynn were punctual, efficient, funny, and made each of us look amazing! All of my ladies loved chatting with them and joking around all day. I was thrilled with how well my hair and makeup held up through photos and dancing. I can't recommend JD and her team strongly enough. Thank you!

ibly quickly, was communicative as we finalized the contract and payments, assisted me with the day of timeline and schedule for all of my girls' services, and above all else made each and every one of us look INCREDIBLE. JD & Samie arrived exactly on time the morning of, were set up super quickly (and very tolerant of my barking puppy!), and were so flexible in listening to each girls' desired style and making it happen. We also just had the best time chatting with them and joking around all day! I have never seen all of my girlfriends so happy with their hair and makeup! Personally, my makeup held up through hours of photos and even more hours of dancing- my face still looked pretty dang good when I was heading to bed late in the morning hours! No one can go wrong with JD and her team for their wedding day. :)

were so easy to work with and made my entire bridal party, including me (the bride) feel the most beautiful we have ever felt! SERIOUSLY...I don't think I have ever work with a hair and makeup artist that made me feel so gorgeous. They just knew what to do!

hair/makeup on my wedding day. We have even had guests (future brides!) reach out to us after the wedding regarding who we used for hair and makeup- I will never hesitate to recommend them!! Thank you JD and Kathryn from the bottom of my heart- you are truly THE BEST!

and I'd highly recommend Status Salon!

lpful in answering all of my questions that ultimately led to my selection of her and her team for my wedding. I had my trial run with Elise and she made sure to stick to my vision of what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. She created a beautiful up-do for me (I wanted to make sure the lace back to my dress was visible) and the makeup was a very natural look, but fancy enough for a wedding, which was my goal. I also have never worn fake lashes before (as I already have pretty long lashes) but they were so comfortable to wear!! She told me by having the lashes on, it will really pop in photographs, which she ended up being 100% right!! On the day of Elise and Flo took great care of my bridesmaids and the moms. My mother in law even last minuet decided to get full makeup done, and the girls were happy to accommodate which I know made her feel special. Thank you again to the girls at Status Salon for making us feel beautiful!

do with hair! My hair is fine and shoulder length, yet I wanted volume in the back for a messy up-do. That I received! Just loved the way she made me look like I had a lot more hair than I did!!! The up-do was perfect! Just what I wanted from the pictures I showed her. My daughter's hair was absolutely gorgeous! I was so pleased with everyone's hair she did! I can't say enough on the beautiful job she does!

ting ready. She did additional lashes and makeup that wasn't scheduled prior and did so willingly. JD who runs the business was so easy to work with. Her email responses were so prompt and it make scheduling with them a no brainer. I would recommend them to anyone and have had several friends use them for their weddings as well!!

trial to ensure we perfected my desired bridal look. I don't think I could have managed without her during my rehearsal and wedding. I have never been one to experience much stress or anxiety, but when the wedding festivities rolled around, I found myself having my first anxiety attack! JD was able to calm me down and did all of my make-up while I laid in bed cuddled under the covers! I just received all my professional wedding pictures and I love the way I looked in all of them. JD made me feel happy and beautiful on my wedding day and I'm so thankful for all she did!
