Melissa B. says, "Marissa did an absolutely incredible job on makeup for my wedding day! She was professional and personable, and was great to work with. We had a great trial run for makeup, and she even helped plan out a timeline to ensure that the day went smoothly and everyone looked and felt their best. The day of felt like a whirlwind, but all of our hair and makeup was done exactly on schedule and everyone looked stunning. My three year old was thrilled to get some gloss from "Ms. Marissa", and especially loved getting to "help" with mommy's makeup ;) I was as excited for her keepsake beginners makeup kit (extra sponges and gloss applicators that are still used daily) as I was for the super useful touch-up kit Marissa left for our lipstick and gloss. I am so thankful for the great experience I had with Marissa, and cannot imagine having had a better day or look with anyone else. My make-up was everything I could've wished for- I still looked like me, but fresh and glowing and, well, like a bride :) I cannot say enough good things about the experience as a whole. Any one aspect of the day would've garnered a positive review- from her professionalism, to the quality of her work (that make-up didn't budge!!), her style and artistry, to her friendliness and great attitude; but with all of those together it was truly an exceptional experience. Thank you so much Marissa, for making it so special, fun, and memorable. "See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do you find a good hairstylist?

First, pull up a list of nearby hairstylists on Thumbtack, and read their profiles to get an understanding of what they specialize in — hair coloring, cutting, extensions, wedding hairstyles, etc. Then, start searching for stylists who have high ratings and customer reviews. You should also spend some time looking at photos that showcase their work. That way, you can determine if a stylist has the experience and skills needed to achieve the look you want. 

When you’ve identified at least three hairstylists you like, ask them for a cost estimate and make sure they have the proper credentials.

How do you hire a hairstylist?

After you find a few hairstylists you’re interested in, you need to decide who to hire. To figure this out, ask yourself these questions when evaluating each candidate:

  • Does the hairstylist have mostly positive customer reviews and high ratings?
  • Is the hairstylist charging prices that are reasonable and within my budget?
  • Does this person specialize in my hair type and texture?
  • Can the hairstylist achieve the look I want?
  • Does the hairstylist have the proper training?
  • Can the hairstylist come to me (i.e., are they a mobile hairstylist?), or do I need to go to their place of business?

What does a hairstylist do?

Many hairstylists have the training and skills to do the following:

  • Shampoo and condition hair
  • Blow-dry hair
  • Cut and trim hair
  • Color, dye and bleach hair
  • Straighten, braid and curl hair
  • Install hair extensions and weaves

The best hairstylists can recommend styles and advise you on how to properly care for your hair type. Some may specialize in a certain treatment, or they may focus on hairstyles for events, such as a wedding.

How much do you tip hairstylists?

A good rule of thumb is to tip your hairstylist at least 20%. Of course, it’s OK to tip more or less than 20%.

If you decide to tip 20%, here’s a quick guide on how much to tip your hairstylist:

What should I do if my hairstylist messes up?

If you believe your hairstylist messed up, bring it to their attention. Talk to them about what you expected and why you’re not happy with the end result. Because many professionals rely on positive customer reviews and word of mouth to keep their business going, they’re often willing to make adjustments.
