Mish Mucho

I’ve been going to Mish for YEARS now, and I refuse to go to anyone else. I lived in Irvine for a few years and would only ever let Mish touch my hair, even then! Her amazing work and easy-​to-​get-​along-​with personality really makes the whole experience so worth any trip. I think even if I lived on the other side of the world I’d wait until I could go to her to get my hair done!
And she can do it all, from cut to color to even fixing the worst messes… let’s just say that, on a trip to the Philippines once, I let my mom convince me to let one of the guys out there perm my hair. It. Was. A. Disaster. I was already going to Mish by then, and I sent her like the equivalent of a like sob session in an email. It was terrible, I think she still has the email. She not only made me feel better via email halfway across the world, but when I got home she actually made it look GOOD (she’s a MIRACLE WORKER!) and gave me a plan on how often to come in and what we would do so that I could get the more sad looking parts of my hair out of my life forever! Now she doesn’t need to fix any messes anymore, thankfully, since I JUST go to her, but really, I will have Mish do my hair until the day I die. I swear. Go to Mish and you will never ever regret it.

I could not say better things about Mish! Mish was recommended to me by my makeup artist (Katy Davis of Couture Makeup) and I could not be more happy with my decision to use Mish for my wedding.
First off, when I met Mish, I just felt like we clicked. She’s sweet and easy going and so willing to try whatever I wanted. But I have to say, she made every single one of my bridesmaids and mom looks so amazing! She did 10 girls for our wedding and each person looked flawless! It was classy but modern, and everyone’s hair stayed in place for most all of the wedding. I am very particular and she made my hair look exactly how I envisioned. She also put in my extensions, which she was a pro at!
I would recommend Mish time and time again! She was amazing… thank you a million!!!

I am getting married in August and was in need of a hair dresser. Mish had such glorious reviews on Unilocal that I’ve decided to contact her. Sent her an e-​mail and got a response that she’ll get back to me within 24 hrs, otherwise I could text her. So after 24 hrs I did only to get response that she’ll get back to me later. Later NEVER came!

This review has been a long time coming– Mish is hands down one of the most fantastic stylists and professionals in San Diego. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her on weddings and also, as my personal stylist. This girl blows my mind at how many things she can do extremely well and also how much care she puts in to each client that she works with. She is such a sweet heart and one of a kind. If I could give her 10 stars, I would! She’s the best!!!

Mish did my hair for my wedding and I never felt so beautiful. I have very fine hair, and she knew just how to thicken it up and recreate the look I showed her on Pintrest (kind of like old Hollywood waves.) I did the run through in her salon in Little Italy, which is cute, and there is free parking right in front! Super important. And she has the cutest little dog if you ever get to meet her.
She works pretty fast and did a great job. The hairstyle held all day. She is so talented and I can’t wait to work with her again. She is also a total sweetie and adds such a positive, fun vibe to the getting ready process!
Katy Davis at Couture Makeup was the other half of my beauty team that day (the two often work together) and with the two of them you can’t go wrong!

I’ve been going to Mish every 3 months for at least 2 years for cut and color.
I’m very picky about who messes with my long thick hair and ever since I’ve met Mish, I won’t see anyone else! She cares about how your hair looks after she’s done, making sure that you love it just as much as she does. She also cares about the health of your hair and only uses quality products. I’ve mentioned my hair is long and she is very good about not cutting it short; I’ve had traumatic experiences with that! And I am completely obsessed with how she styles my hair with her hair dryer and round brush! It looks like soft waves that I just can’t get with a curling iron. I wish my hair could look like that everyday.
She is also very down to earth and easy to talk to. Personality and character are very important to me in addition to quality of services and Mish is a great person who does great work.
She also does bridal hair, which I’ve seen done on friends of mine and they’re always beautiful. If I ever get married, there’s only one person I want doing my hair!

I can’t thank Mish enough for the amazing job she did on my wedding day on June 21, 2014! She is hands down, the ultimate master-​guru at wedding hair styling. My hair looked absolutely stunning, I couldn’t have been happier with her work.
Beyond my head, she managed to personalized the hair styles of 5 bride’s maids, 2 junior bride’s maids and 1 flower girl, as well… All under 5 hours. Holy Smokes she’s fast!!! Her talent was expressed in the explicit details she put into each of our hair styles — not a strand of hair was out of place, everything was flawless!
She was definitely one of the most personable and fun vendors I had for my wedding. We made an instant connection when we first met and I appreciated her receptiveness to my requests at our trial appointment. The end result was, an updo that I absolutely loved on my wedding day.
Thank you so much Mish! You’re the best!

Mish is awesome! She made my hair so beautiful on my wedding day. She made it look so easy to do an up do with my long hair. She also did the hair for 3 of my bridesmaids and she was very efficient with the time we had. Mish is easy and fun to talk to. She’s high in demand for wedding hair, so I was really glad I was able to book her. Thank you Mish for making me and my bridesmaid’s hair look amazing!

If you want the best for your hair, need Mish. Mish is amazing and talented person! She is so sweet and professional. My hair always looks amazing after she is done with it. Thank you Mish!

mish made me look and feel wonderful on my wedding day — but i think that’s just a basic requirement for a hair stylist to made the bride look amazing. what really impressed me is that she also styled the hair of the two moms — and being patient about it, made them look and feel fab. she requires a hair consult which i think cuts down on a lot of the stress of figuring out if they get what you want on your wedding day. i’m excited to go back to her for more hair services. :)
she also collaborate with local san diego jewelry designer chris ching for some amazing hair pieces for weddings. check it out in the display case in the salon.

Mish has been cutting my hair for a year now and I am very happy with her haircuts. Mish is an exceptionally talent hair dresser. Her range of style is impressive and she cuts men’s hair just as well as she does women’s. Mish does a great job at taking my minimal input and creating a sharp and distinguish look. Mish herself is professional and pleasant to chat with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent and quite affordable haircut.

Mish did my hair for baby shower and once again, she killed it! Do yourself a favor and book her ASAP!

Over the last 5 years of living on and off in San Diego I have had the worst time trying to find a stylist. Thankfully in a moment of panic I stumbled upon Mish for my wedding. Not only did she AMAZE me with my hair and 11 of my bridal party ladies but she ended up being a fantastic wonder when it came to cutting hair as well. Her pricing is so very reasonable and always the sweetest to chat with. I finally found what I was looking for in beautiful San Diego!

Mish is amazing. My hair looked fantastic, as did my sister’s.
The trial was mandatory and both Mish and I had pretty tight schedules but she made it work after I was unable to initially find an appointment slot on her online system. The trial was at her salon in Little Italy.
On the day of the wedding, Mish came to our hotel room and was even a few minutes early. She also hung around after she was done just to make sure that my hair was back in place after being clipped back for foundation application. She incorporated a birdcage veil and small feather fascinator into an incredible look. My sister’s hair also looked amazing. She had a totally different style but our looks were complementary.
I also loved how clear Mish’s website is and how easy it is to book online. She is quick to respond to her emails and is a consummate professional. She said she incorporated the online system within the last year (maybe two?) and it really helped her track everything. I highly recommend her and I’m going to use her online system to book a regular haircut appointment too!

There’s not very many people, especially professionals, in this world that you meet are down to earth, but Mish is that and a total sweetheart! As a gift for my daughter, I wanted to do a family video shoot to give to her when she’s older. In the beginning, I had booked a makeup artist and another hair stylist. The hair stylist ended up canceling on me at last minute, however, fortunately, my makeup artist knew who to refer me to as a replacement — Mish! I was so glad that Mish was available on that day and at such short notice! Upon booking her, I appreciated that she emailed me instructions on how to prep for my hair on the day of such as don’t wash it the day before. She was probably the best decision I made for my little project because she made me look and feel so fabulous and got me even more excited for the shoot!
When we met, we connected instantly! I don’t talk much, but she was so fun to talk to! The distance to where i resided was pretty far for her, I’d say about 40 miles away. Nevertheless, she arrived right on the dot (which was super early) to the time we agreed on! In her industry, you tend to meet some people that act like «divas», but she wasn’t like that at all. She was very warm and welcoming. I told her that as part of the concept of my video shoot that I was going to pretend to wake up and go to sleep. I also showed her a couple of inspiration pictures, and she responded, «ok, so you want a messy, fabulous look, right?» YES, THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! She understood my vision entirely! She did my hair that I could never do on my own. Haha. I really felt that she cared about me. She also uses great hair products on you! She uses Unite Eurotherapy — my favorite brand!
Her rate is reasonably priced. She also charges a traveling fee. I admit that she was a little difficult to get a hold of, but ladies, if you care about looking your best and if you’re willing to be a little more patient, then I know that you won’t be disappointed with her service. I highly recommend her!

After my long time hairstylist broke up with me and moved away, I went through a few one-​time stands with hairstylists before I found Mish when I was shopping for a hairstylist for my wedding. I decided to cancel my hair appointment with another stylist closer to home just to see who this girl with the amazing reviews is. After meeting Mish, I understand.
Mish is crazy busy and in demand running from one appointment to the next but she gives you 100% attention while working on you. I haven’t had my trial for my wedding yet since I want my hair to be longer before then but she did a nice job on my highlights and bang cut, as well as my «normal» styling… all of which she was able to do quickly (giving me greater confidence in her wedding hair/​time management skills). There was a mixup with my appointment so she gave me a discount which I appreciated (since we are saving money for a wedding after all) but even without the discount her prices are reasonable. Plus, she’s just a nice and «real» person.
I’ll be back. :) I will update my review after my hair trial and wedding.

I did 2 other wedding hair trials before I decided to give Mish a try as recommended by my makeup artist, Rita. I’m so glad to have used Mish. I loved my hair for my wedding. It turned out better than even when she did the trial. It was exactly how I envisioned. It was very romantic and I loved how she added the texture just how I wanted.
Mish was really great to work with. She is very easygoing and such a trooper. She even helped me with making my place cards on the day of wedding since I was such a procrastinator.

Mish is AMAZING… not only in skill but as a person too.
She did my hair for my wedding and even though we went through a trial, I had changed my mind, showed her a picture the day-​of and she went to town. She made me look beautiful. On top of that she did my mom and a few of my BM’s and they were all unique and beautiful.
As a hairdresser, she is just the same. She listens and then just goes to town and does everything just how you want it. Going to see Mish is like going to see your sister. She is that easy to get along with and you can talk just about anything!
I no longer live close enough to see her, as I’m in Maryland now but when i do go back to visit, i make sure to pay her a visit. You won’t regret your choice when you chose Mish for your special event or as a hairdresser! Love her!

Mish is ummmm how can put this lightly… SEXCELLENT!
Not only is she HOT! But she makes YOU look HOT! She’s the Bomb-​shizdizzle!
I tell you what… If you want to see what I looked like pre-​mish, just ask… i don’t want to go around airing out my dirty laundry, but i will if i get a personal request.
Mish makes me look and feel great. And she is sooo much fun!
She does Wedding Hair too, and as a wedding photographer, I recommend her to all my clients. My brides always look fabulous all day long when mish does their hair. And She has accomodated some of the most amazing requests from people.
You won’t be sorry!
