Review from Jennifer P.
San Jose, CA
I've been searching for awhile for the "right" place to go to since alot of my friends do not have eye lash extensions. I get them done since my eye lashes are not long or full like I'd like them to be. I wanted mine to be natural looking, long & full. I had a full set done before from out of town locations and today I needed a refill. I was hestitant since I relied on the Yelp reviews. But, I am truly happy with this place.
I got lost using the directions on yelp's iPhone app. But, it was easy to locate off of Lincoln Ave. The plus for me is the easy & free parking in the back. The bridal boutique is as pretty as the pictures you see. I definitely feel like Im getting pampered when I walked thru the doors.
Sarah did my eyelashes and I love them so far. She is very friendly, courteous and professional. She truly does take pride in her work and made sure that even though I had my original set done somewhere else, she made sure the refills complimented me. They truly did.
I am looking forward to seeing her again when I am scheduled for my next appointment.
Thanks Sarah!!! =) -
Review from Miss V.
Pleasanton, CA
10/12/2011
So the owner is all about yelp and sent me texts, cards, and emails to write a review. Here's what you asked for, Sarah.
First, I read the reviews before contacting Bloom Bridal Boutique and figured the few bad reviews were probably slips. Well, they charge so much money that I thought, was it really such an awful experience? Nah
So I set an appointment for a wedding hair trial and Maritza was assigned to me. I drove an hour to get to this place and was there on time even with traffic and wedding appointments prior to the Bloom appointment. Maritza was 20 minutes late to the trial. I should have known at that point to get up and walk away. Another client who was there for lashes had also been waiting quite a while for the owner, Sarah, to show up to the appointment.
I should have asked more questions prior to setting up the appointment. That was my fault. As it turns out, Maritza is *only* a MAC makeup artist and she was doing my hair as well. We were there for four hours, (yea it took four hours for the trial because she was late, wasn't set up for the appointment, and is not a licensed cosmetologist who knows about hair), I watched carefully everything she did and didn't do. I asked her about the curls because I noticed that the only hair product used was hairspray. Hairspray is great but it only holds for an hour or two and she said more would be done the day of the wedding. I failed to ask what the "more" included which was also my fault but she failed to tell me as well.
So four hours later I was happy with the outcome which was why I went ahead and prepaid for the wedding. Don't do this, brides! Don't do my mistake. I went to dinner with mother-in-law right after and the hairdo was slowly falling apart. The curls were completely gone by the time I got home.
Fast forward to the day of the wedding: Maritza was 15 minutes late again. On the contract it states that if the bride and her family are not ready for the appointment that Bloom reserves the right to charge one extra for each 30 minutes they wait. I called and texted Sarah to find out what was going on and she never replied back to me. There was no answer at their "emergency" line and all I could do was wait. At that point, I should have called my friend to send his backup hair person to my house.
Wedding day hair: She used hot rollers, hairspray, curling iron... no mousse to hold the curls. No other hair products because she doesn't know about hair. The curls held longer this time but not the whole night like my bridesmaids who went to their hairdressers instead. I'm the bride. My hair should stay up the whole night. It didn't. Theres something wrong with this picture.
The makeup application was flawless and held all night. The airbrush made me look a bit dewy however so I had her matte it down a bit and later in the day it got dewy again. I loved the makeup
The time she was late is the extra time she took to get all her stuff out of my house which caused my parents to almost be late for my wedding because she wanted to lock up our house. I'm sorry but we don't know you. We are not going to leave you in our home by yourself to lock up whenever you feel like it.
My mom totally disliked the hairdo Maritza did so after church she had my aunt give her a different hairdo for the rest of the evening.Comment from Sarah P. of Bloom Bridal Boutique 12/6/2011

Review from Margaret T.

I hired Bloom Bridal to handle my hair and make-up for my wedding, along with for my 3 bridesmaids. We were on a very strict and tight schedule for the wedding and they were very puntual.
My trial was held at the boutique with Stephanie. Overall, she did an excellent job during both the trial and the wedding day. Their standard wedding day make-up package comes with airbrush - so neat!! I had some feedback from the trial and she was happy to fix them to my liking. The only thing is that I wish my curls held up better. One of the fixes were the curls and waves in my hair so she altered it slightly from the trial and it didn't end up holding as well. It was a last minute change, so no biggie and not their fault.
Stephanie also did my bridesmaids' make-up and they all looked hot!! They went for a dark eye look and it looked amazing. She also brought an assistant who did my girls' hair and they mimicked the photos perfectly. The girls were stunning! Everyone said so!
My only complaint is the communication with the owner, Sarah. It was about 2-3 weeks before the wedding and I had some questions about payment (I overpaid initially but it got fixed) and wanted to lock down the final schedule. The schedule didn't end up getting resolved until a week before the wedding. For a stressed out bride, that was just cutting it so close. I followed up several times asking if there was another email I could send my questions to. Apparently, the best way to reach her was through text but I recall getting so frustrated but hey, looks like everything worked out in the end.Listed in: I do!!

Review from Tera S.
San Jose, CA
Saying good-bye to applying fake lashes...HELLOOOO eyelash extensions!!
Cutest little bridal boutique I have ever set my eyes on!
Besides that, Sarah is friendly, experienced and totally down to earth. She explained all the steps she went through and explained all the up-keep for my lashes. We chatted through the entire process and it was completely quick and painless.
She also took before and after photos of my lashes, which left me speechless. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!
I highly recommend Bloom Bridal Boutique for all of your wedding and NON-wedding beautifications! -

Sarah has been doing my eyelash extensions for over a year and I love her! She is courteous, professional, and takes pride in the work that she does. Eyelashes may not be for everyone and take some getting used to but they make you look fabulous and Sarah is all about making her clients look and feel fabulous.

Review from Zakk D.
San Jose, CA
6/19/2008
Ok. I think I've calmed down enough to write this.
First impression of Bloom (where the misses was getting her test hair and make-up done) was fantastic. They were nice, accommodating, and seemed to be really on the ball and nail what she wanted and what I wanted the time line to be.
And then they swiped the credit card.
Magically, the hairstylists ability to return calls flew out the window and the hair person double booked herself and fawked our time line to hell. What the hell? You can't keep a calendar and we're trusting you to get your ass up and work on a Saturday? Damnit all to hell. Then she calls the misses and blames HER (!!!) that we came in too close to the wedding date and she'd still *TRY* (!!!) to squeeze her in but not at the time she needed.
All this. With two days to go. Groom-zilla is nonplussed. Groom-zilla was fucking pissed that his repeated called went unreturned. I still haven't heard from them. Every other vendor called in, except them. Assholes.
The other oddball thing about this place is they are all independent contractors. Each has their own payment, their own schedule, nothing is a package. Ye Olde Visa got a workout that day, I'll tell you.
My wife is already a 10, but they were able to bump her up to an 11. She looked great for our wedding, and the make-up artist was a joy to work with and also did all of her brides maids make-up (At the time and schedule she agreed to when we paid her, by the way!)
In the end, we (the royal we, our wedding planner Rekha http://www.yelp.com/bi...) saved the day and got us back on track.
This rating is dicey. Make-up service and performance was stellar. Hair was good, and the service and scheduling could have sucked a golf ball though a 1/8" lead pipe.
I'm going to give it 3 stars, only because one was stellar the other a moron who can't use a pencil and a calendar at the same time.
Ok. I'm done. My therapist says I'm making progress...
*Edit: So I get this PM....*
So now, after 10 months, I get this from Vicky defending what a crappy expereince my wife and I had here.
"Zakk,
I feel that your comment about Bloom is unfair. I was the stylist that worked on all of the bridesmaids in your wedding party. I take great pride in my work and go out of my way to ensure perfection on every head of hair I work on.
I recall your review of Bloom, and of your experience with Teresa, (who worked on your bride/co-owns salon) a majority of the people that work for Bloom are independent contractors, and have no control over the running of the business. Please don't judge all of the stylists at Bloom as one, but as separate artists.
thank you."
So Teresa is the OWNER who screwed us over and this Vicky woman is telling ME that MY review is unfair? Independent Contractors had nothing to do with this, we were treated this way by THE OWNER!? LOL! It only gets worse.
- 1 star so now that I know that it's the owner that can't handle an appointment book then blames the clients paying into the thousands of dollars for making her life harder.
Also the amount of the ol' "First Review 5 stars" stuff going on under this business is suspicious....
*edit* so now, nearly 2.5 years later, Sarah P. wants to reach out to me about my crappy experience? I'll post another update when this latest go around is over. Can't it just go away? It was 30 months ago...move on!Listed in: Nuptial Bliss & Vendor Hell

Review from Danielle R.

I just had a cut and color with Sonya and I love it! Sonya is awesome! She listens to you and offers suggestions but isn't all pushy like some stylists are. We had a great time chit chatting while we waited for my color to set. It's like talking with a long lost friend.
The salon is small and cute. Just the right size. Not so small you wonder how they do business and not so big that there is tons of stuff going on you and you feel like you have to holler to be heard. They also do massage, spray tanning, make-up and hair styling. I saw some pics of some weddings they did, just so beautiful.
I can't wait to go back! : ) -
Review from Bonnie L.

I finally found the time to write a review.
Searching for a place to get my hair and make up done for my Senior Ball was very difficult, but that's my mistake. I had started looking really late. In fact, by the time I started, a lot of places were already booked! After weeks of searching, clicking, reading reviews, and looking at sites, I found a great offer: $100 Prom Package, and guess from who; Bloom Beauty. Wowza! After looking at the pictures, I knew that I just had to call in and make an appointment, and fortunately, it was very easy for me to make.
The day came and I asked my sister to go with me. I told her, "If something looks strange, say something." My sister is not afraid to voice her opinion. Needless to say, I hardly heard a peep out of her.
We walked in to Bloom Beauty and well, it's such a cute little place! :) Everyone there had been so kind and cheerful: offering drinks, gossiping, complimenting each other. To be honest, when I got there, I had no idea how I wanted my hair done, but Christina was very kind and patient and offered her suggestions. After looking through a few magazines, I found the perfect up-do, and I had plenty of time to think about it while I got my make up done.
Natasha did my make up. I was in awe at how much make up she carried with her! LOL. Then again, she did use to work with MAC, which means that she's an experienced professional. When I found that out, my worries died down. I was afraid that I would walk into my senior ball looking like a Barbie Doll. Phew. As Natasha set up the make up section, she asked me how I wanted my make up done. I told her "Nothing too dramatic--something soft and more emphasis on my eyes." She did exactly that. I was in awe!
Then, it was time for my hair. I sat down in the chair and showed Christina the pictures, and then, she went to work. Christina likes to turn her customers away from the mirror so that we can't see what it looks like until the very end. I was so anxious the entire time; I really wanted to see what it looked like! Even more so whenever she kept saying that it looks really great. After a spray of that volume thingy, 2 hair-ties, some hair teasing, some hairspray, some hair twisting, and 41 bobby pins later, she finally let me look at her masterpiece. No, I am not exaggerating. It was simply a masterpiece. It looked wonderful and I was very satisfied! Christina took pictures of it after she was done. I want to see them again. :) Email please?
Overall, I had a great experience (duh, look at how many stars I gave). I think it was worth the long drive (I live in San Jose, borderline Milpitas. Google map that to Willow Glen!). I think it'd be nice to go back one day to try out the hair color and cut. :)
Thanks Bloom Beauty! (I guess I tend to write long reviews.)
PS. Oh, the hair stayed in tack and the makeup looked the same the entire night. Even after some sweaty dancing and running around. Well done! -

Sarah is the Michaelangelo of makeup! Myself and my wedding party looked fabulous on my wedding. I wanted everyone to look natural and Sarah not only did that, but was able to bring out everyones best features with her artistry
We opted to do the airbrushing and is was worth every penny! It didn't feel heavy, it stayed on all day and it remained flawless even after all the dancing. In fact, when I tried to remove it that even I had to scrub my face until it was raw. This stuff lasts.
Teresa was our amazing hair diva. She listened to exactly what everyone wanted and delivered beyond expectations. Our hair maintained it's shape all through the evening and looked just as good when the night was over.
These women are experts at what they do and will accommodate you in any way they can. They were right on time at the crack of 8am at my wedding location even though it was 30 minutes from their place of business. They expect nothing less of perfection and it is definitely reflected in their work. I highly recommend using their services! They will not disappoint. -

Sarah was amazing! So glad I got the Town Hog coupon to get my eyelashes done. The studio is super cute and warm. Sarah has a great eye...you can tell, she's so pretty herself! She offered me a bunch of options but in the end I just told her to do what she felt was best. She applied the lashes on quickly and painlessly and I was in and out of there in about 90 minutes. I've posted some before and after pictures. I have a bad feeling I'm going to be addicted and coming back every 3 weeks for a touch up. Oh and they sell these adorable rosette headbands...I'm going to grab one next time I'm there.

Review from Becca C.

On my wedding day I had my hair done by Teresa and my make-up done by Natasha. I was extremely pleased with both! I've had my make-up done numerous times in the past by make-up artists, and this was by far the best. I loved my eye make-up! Truly outstanding.
Teresa put in extensions for me and went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy and liked my hair. She originally used a new type of hair that turned out to be really tangly..but she took the time to (and a long time at that!) to swap out the hair for me. She literally spent over 7 hours putting in the new hair. She was also really responsive to all my emails and questions about extensions.
On the day of the wedding my hair turned out beautifully. It was long and flowing and exactly how I wanted it. Teresa was extremely helpful and gave me extra bobby pins and hair spray the day of the wedding when I realized I didn't have any.
Both Natasha and Teresa were early for hair and make-up on the day of the wedding. They were professional, helpful, friendly, and great to work with.
I would highly recommend both of them! -

The other co-owner of Bloom, Sarah, contacted me after seeing my review. After apologizing for my bad experience, she let me know that shortly after my consultation, Samantha had been let go. She also offered me a chance to come in and have my makeup done to see the kind of quality that Bloom expects from its artists.
I accepted, and Ming did my makeup (for the Yelp holiday party!). The salon was just as cute as I remembered - I love that decor. Ming was ridonkulously awesome. She was super fun, listened to everything that I wanted, and really seemed to understand my style.
The makeup stayed on through the whole night, despite the crazy ish that goes on at Yelp parties.
Kudos to Bloom for taking their customer service so seriously. I'm glad I gave them a second chance, Ming is great!Listed in: Going to the Chapel

Another review update!!! Sarah just did my make up for a weekend event and she did such a great job. I don't wear make up on a regular basis, I normal wear concealer and mascara so people are not used to seeing me wear make up.
The day of the event no one recognized me, but in a good way. I received countless compliments on my make-up. A guy who met me a month before didn't recognize me. In fact he asked his sister who I was because he wanted to ask me out. Luck for him, his sister told him I was married. Thank you Sarah for making me look so good ;)2 Previous Reviews: Show all »

There are some days that you just HAD to satisfy your curiosity about certain stores. One day, I just knew that a trip to BLOOM was on my planner.
I arrived not knowing what to expect. Walking in, it was adorably pink and I was greeted with lovely smiles. Somehow, I was immediately holding a glass of sparkling wine and getting lashes put on! Sarah did an amazing job and I loved them! She even put on a bit of eye shadow to compliment the lashes for my hot date that night.
I totally recommend this place simply for the atmosphere and the great work the ladies do! -

This is long overdue review for a fantastic place in Willow Glen. I found Bloom, honestly, because I live close by. The woman who did my wedding makeup, Charrie, did a wonderful job. She is VERY talented and knows what she's doing. I was very pleased with her work. She's worth FIVE stars and is a gem.
There were some misunderstandings in the contract, so make sure you get a copy of it and look over it to be sure it is correct! This advice goes for any contract you have for any event for your wedding, party or whatever.
I was charged $55 for a morning fee when I setup a time after early morning. I mentioned that I was allergic to MAC cosmetics and it gave me a bad reaction afterwards but for one day I would just deal with it so I could look good in my photos! I also was given a "touch up" kit and didn't think much of it until when looking through my wedding paperwork realized I didn't even agree on the contract to getting one. When I got the charges they were both on there.
The owner did a wonderful job of sorting through the misunderstanding and refunded me without any issues. -

I needed a makeup artist and hairstylist for my October 2009 wedding and found Bloom while searching online. I made an appointment for a trial run with Teresa for my hair and some other girl for my makeup, but her name escapes me at the moment. When I arrived, I found the shop to be really cute and I think it was Sarah (a co-owner?) who greeted me and was really nice. I had my makeup done first and the gal did a really nice job with the airbrush. Then Teresa came in and worked on my hair. She came up with a great updo which I loved. It involved alot of bobby pins and hairspray, but it looked great!
I ended up booking Teresa for my wedding, but not the makeup gal. I thought the price was just a bit expensive for makeup and, at the recommendtion of one of my bridesmaids, I found a great makeup artists who also works for Aveda and was very affordable. Teresa did a great job on the day of my wedding and showed up on time and then waited until we put the dress on over my head so she could do a few last minute touch-ups. She also did the hair for my mom, mother-in-law, two bridesmaids and flower girl. Overall I was really pleased with Teresa and Bloom and I found her prices to be pretty reasonable. My only complaint was the communication with Teresa. She was a bit hard to get a reply from some times and I must admit, I was a bit nervous about her coming through on the day of the wedding, but she did and my worrying was for naught. I would recommend Bloom for a great hairstylist. -

I feel kind of bad writing an unfavorable review of bloom but the service was just not that great. I normally go to Umbrella and see Tia to get my haircut but wanted to try this place out. I saw Sonya for a haircut and everything was just sub-par. The shampoo, neck massage, cut, and styling, everything. She was a little ruff and even forgot to cut the layers that frame my face. I was not happy. If you are looking to get a good haircut and have a pleasant expierence go see Tia. Bye-bye Bloom.

Teresa and Sarah did hair and makeup for my wedding- and it was beautiful.
My hair was exactly what I wanted. Teresa was able to look at the pictures I gave her and replicate the look I was going for, but made it fit with my personality and style.
Sarah did a great job with my makeup as well, and when I requested lighter foundation and different eye color, she happily obliged, and it looked great.
Both were on-time and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended. -

Bloom is truly a "charming" boutique! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff and an relaxing atmosphere. The decor is girly yet tasteful. I came to Bloom to get my makeup done for my girlfriend's wedding. Sarah was fantastic! I recommend getting airbrushed...my skin looked perfect and my makeup lasted all night! Not even a smudge! Sarah was a complete delight throughout the whole process. I will be coming back...I'm thinking of trying out their eye lash extensions next! Thank you Bloom!!!

I recently was referred to bloom salon by a friend of mine whos lashes had just been put on. Sarah did them and they look amazing. I was in need of a salon for hair and make up and so excited I could go and speak to Sarah about the services. After being in the salon I instanty got a good feeling especially after looking a the portfolio. I was sold. So we did all of the paperwork and I was on my way. Sarah called the day before to confirm which was a nice touch. Then the big day came and the hair stylist Mina was promptly on time. She was funny,talented and just really awesome. I told her what I wanted and it could not have been more perfect. Why the four stars.the make up artist was a bit more than thirty minutes late. We had a tight schedule to keep so needless to say this threw us off for our studio shots before the wedding. The excuse was traffic. The makeup was fine looked nice in the pics , but quite a bit darker than expected. My only suggestion for bloom would be to give the stylist and make up artist the clients phone number. Other than this everything was great.

LOVE THEM!
I just got my hair and make up done at Bloom for my wedding. My goodness! It was fantastic... and believe me I had done trials several places before I find this place.
Amanda did my hair and Sarah did my make up and Ming did my hair extensions. They were fabulous.
This place is super cute, cozy and pink! I did my trial and I was happy but let me tell you that on my wedding day, everything was even better. I even got hair extensions since I wanted to wear my hair very long. Ming was very nice and helped me with the extensions. Sarah did the airbrush make up and ohhh my god it looked great, I've never had my make up done this good (the fact that I didn't want to touch/change it after I got out... tells you something, I'm picky!) Not only it looked amazing it lasted all night long, I wanted my eyes make up kind of heavy but it didn't move! It was fresh and still looked great by the end of the night. She even airbrushed my tattoo that I didn't want to show for my wedding.
Amanda did my hair; she did a beautiful job with my curls and the bump in my hair. I have super straight hair that doesn't hold up really well, but I don't know what she did. It was perfect all night long.
They are friendly, helpful and they listen to what you want, they don't just do whatever they want they do what you want.
I will go back there whenever I need my hair and make up done. I recommend them to anybody who is looking for quality and service.
Thank you Sarah, Amanda and Ming for your great work on my wedding day. -

Let me start by saying that Bloom is the best salon in San Jose!!!!! They do it all......it's the most girliest salon I have ever stepped in to. It's a gorgeous salon! I was looking around for a makeup artist for my wedding and read all the reviews and even had some recomendations from people. So I made an appointment to meet with Sarah Pena and she was a doll! Such a genuine girl very honest and humble! She worked for MAC for some years and shes gone to the best Makeup artistry school in San Francisco her skills rock! The day of my wedding I loked like a real live BARBIE!!!!! I felt so beautiful and my makeup looked so flawless and radiant, it lasted all day and night and it was about 85 degrees that day. I also tried Audra who specializes in airbrush tans. I'm a very pale girl who has the hardest time tanning and perfers not to damage my skin from the beds. I was nervous at first but she talked to me about the process well that was the best day ever i was a golden godess I loved it because it wasnt that orange i thought it was going to be, it was a golden natural looking tan it was awsome! way better job than anyother tanning salon! I love this salon it's a hidden gem!!!!!!!

SARAH is definitely my hero! My wedding was coming up and I had a large tattoo on my back and did not think anything could possibly cover it up. I was fortunate enough to come across Sarah, and she covered the tattoo flawlessly with airbrush makeup. I was extremely pleased with the service that I received from her. What made the experience extraordinary was that she was so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend anyone to Sarah who needs a tattoo cover up!

What can I say- I've had a really wonderful experience with the hair and makeup team from bloom! I recently got married in a traditional hindu wedding ceremony in July. Natasha B. was my makeup artist and Teresa G. was my hair artist, and I knew from when I did the trial a few months back that I was in great hands- In addition to being supremely talented artists, they were both so easy going and nice to work with- I truly felt like I had my close friends with me on that very early morning and throughout the big day. Most of all they have patience and calmness in dealing with the ordinary wedding stresses( including the bridezilla herself!). Additionally, I want to thank them for doing such a great job and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented hair and makeup artists who will put your mind at ease on that special day. Thank you Teresa and Natasha!

I was recently a bridesmaid in a wedding and Teresa and Sarah from Bloom were hired to do our hair and make-up. Teresa did a fantastic job on the hair. I sent pictures around to some girlfriends and they all commented on how it was the best "wedding hair" they had ever seen (you know how hard it is to find someone who can do a great up-do!). Sarah also gave me eyelash extensions and they looked absolutely gorgeous. I felt so pretty! Both ladies are extremely nice and professional. I would def. recommend them both to anyone.

Audra is the best. She is detail oriented and considerate of her clients' time. She has moved to Strada Salon and continues to do a fabulous job. I see her almost every week!

I had my first spray tan at Bloom. Audra is very pleasant and very nice.
She gives you two options: $55 for 2 sessions or $35 for one. I wish I only had paid the $35 for one session. I had myself spray tanned for a wedding. The tan is ok, I wasn't overly crazy with the results. I used to tan back in the days in the tanning salon and in the sun, my tan looked very natural and glowy back then. Of course I don't do that crazy stuff anymore so I decided to try the spray tanning. Also, i could see the blotches in my legs with the spray tan, thank God I was wearing a long dress at the wedding. The tan does not last 10 days, even if you put moisturizers. After the third day, you will notice spots where your tan is coming off, your neck will look as if you didn't take a shower by day 5. I
put some alcohol on a towelette to get rid of the dye. I wouldn't recommend this type of tanning if you're wearing a short dress.Comment from Sarah P. of Bloom Bridal Boutique 3/19/2011
