She is always punctual (honestly, usually early!), incredibly professional, and one of the most responsive artists I've worked with which makes planning and day-of execution so much smoother. What really sets Cathy apart is how personable she is with brides and their parties. She has this calm, friendly energy that instantly puts everyone at ease, which is exactly what you want on a wedding morning. And can we talk about initiative?! Cathy consistently goes above and beyond by sending out a detailed day-of makeup timeline without even being asked. That level of organization is GOLD for coordinators and keeps the entire schedule running seamlessly. If you're a bride looking for someone talented, reliable, and genuinely wonderful to be around, Cathy is your girl. I can't recommend her enough!

I requested a quote via Yelp and we were able to book something quickly, after sending my inspo pic and a current pic of my hair. Everything was super easy to check-in and I immediately felt so comfortable talking to Cathy! I expressed that I wasn't sure if my inspo pic was right for the dress and she helped me choose a style that would go best with my face shape. I was so nervous about the day but sitting in Cathy's studio truly made me feel so relaxed and taken care of. Also- with all this hair, we were still done within the hour! My appointment was at 9:15am and my hair lasted until 2am, withstanding the sweat, dancing, and all other bridesmaid duties. Thank you so much, Cathy!

I found Ann on Instagram because I was looking for a hair and makeup artist for my wedding. I…read morereached out to other artists but ended up picking her because she had 20+ years experience in the makeup industry. Another thing that stuck out when I was deciding was when she said she has an eye when it comes to what product looks good on her clients. She also encouraged me to look at her past clients to get a feel of what I wanted for myself. I scheduled a trial with her at her studio in Sunnyvale because I was taking engagement pictures that same day and also wanted to get a feel of how I was going to look for my big day. She arrived on time and we both hit it off very quickly. She asked to see a picture of how I normally do my makeup before she worked her magic. She didn't encourage inspo makeup pictures because she said every face/skin type is different, but she did ask for hair inspo pictures. I really appreciated her expertise since I am not a makeup guru. Not only did she make me feel beautiful, I still looked like myself. The day of my wedding, she came to my house at 6am to make sure I had enough time before my tea ceremony at 10am. Her other colleague also came because my 2 bridesmaids and my mom needed their hair and makeup done. Ann was calm and took her time to make sure she nailed the look. My eyes aren't even so she put tape to make it look as perfect as possible. She kept saying that one eye looked bigger but it wasn't a big deal for me. At the end of the session, I was shocked that I could look that stunning!!! Everyone complimented on my hair and makeup that day. I am so glad I found Ann to be part of my special day. She is extremely professional and easy to work with. I hope she continues to make every woman feel as beautiful as she made me feel!!

She was wonderful to work with day-of. Would definitely recommend her.

She didn't do the job correctly in the first attempt so I asked for an another appointment. I was very clear that I only color the part which shows gray hair but in the second appointment, instead of fixing the old problem , she thought it's easier to apply the color on the whole scalp. I kept telling her not to touch roots but she had her own explanations and continued to do what seemed correct to her. Now the results are : I have itchy scalp with lots of dandruff and roughness , specially the bottom part of my hair is badly damaged. Tremendous amount of hair fall which I never had in my life (clearly the color she applied had something in it ). Even though she said it's ammonia free, but while she was applying this color, I told her this is the first time I am feeling the itchiness and headache but her answer was , "oh I don't know why you feeling this way, it's probably your skin". She couldn't even get rid of black spots from my forehead after the wash. Although it wasn't the first time that I requested ammonia free hair color from this salon but it would definitely make me never going back there .
