Special Event & Bridal Hair & Makeup in San Marcos, Vista & San Diego

Yes! Glitz & Glamour Studio recently moved from our previous Vista location to our expanded flagship salon at 935 W San Marcos Blvd, Suite 101, San Marcos, CA 92078 (just 7 minutes from our former Vista studio). We continue to welcome our beloved Vista clients in-studio, and our on-location mobile glam team travels throughout Vista, San Marcos, Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside, Encinitas, and all of San Diego County.

At Glitz & Glamour Studio, we do not believe in rigid, one-size-fits-all pricing packages with hidden fees. Hair and makeup prices are custom-quoted based on your exact event needs: guest headcount, desired styling finishes (such as airbrush makeup, Hollywood glam waves, or extension work), preview trials, and whether services are hosted in our San Marcos flagship salon or on-location across San Diego County. Every quote is fully itemized so you only invest in what you need.

The cost of formal hair updos varies depending on hair length, texture, and technical complexity—ranging from textured boho braids and sleek low chignons to intricate pinned updos with clip-in extensions. For bridal parties, quinceañera courts, and group events, we offer streamlined per-person group rates. Every updo includes pro-grade thermal prep, architectural zero-slip pinning, and humidity-resistant hold spray.

We recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance for most events. For weddings, quinceañeras, and large bridal parties, we suggest securing your date 2–3 months ahead to guarantee availability.

Absolutely! We travel to your venue, hotel, home, or any location of your choice throughout San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, Escondido, Encinitas, and all San Diego County and surrounding areas. Travel is not limited to San Diego County, and a travel fee may apply depending on the location.

Our team can accommodate events of different sizes — from solo glam sessions to larger bridal parties and special events. If needed, we will coordinate multiple artists to make sure everyone is camera-ready on time.

Bridal and event packages can be customized based on your needs, service location, timeline, and party size. Packages may include hair styling, makeup application, false lashes, a trial run for weddings, on-location services, and coordination for your event day. A custom quote will be provided based on the services requested.

Yes! We highly recommend trial sessions for weddings and quinceañeras. This ensures you love your final look and gives us time to perfect every detail before the big day.

We use a variety of professional, high-quality products selected for long wear, photography, and a flawless finish. Our kit may include brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, NARS, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Morphe, Too Faced, NYX, and other trusted beauty brands. Products are chosen based on your skin type, tone, desired look, and the needs of your event.

A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your event date and secure our team's availability. Cancellation, rescheduling, and payment details will be outlined in your personalized agreement after your consultation.

Of course! We love collaborating on themed events. Share your mood board, color palette, or Pinterest inspiration and we will tailor every look to match your vision perfectly.
