I asked Maile to do my hair and makeup for my engagement photos. I was worried going to someone that I didn't know but I saw photos of her amazing work and I was impressed. It's such a small world because when I saw Maile I knew her!! Well she was super professional, warm, and friendly. She took her time with my makeup and asked me what I wanted. I was super happy with the look. I felt confident and beautiful for my photos. Thank you to Maile!! read more

I got Maile as my makeup and hair artist for my wedding this past weekend. She is amazing! she got to my hotel before 8AM with all her gears. She did my mom, my bridesmaid and me. All three of us look fabulous all day long throughout the night. I didn't even touch up anything. My makeup was very classy and natural and my updo was neat and beautiful. We got a lot of compliments on our makeup and hair! Maile is also reasonably priced; she doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for her service either. I was so happy with the result and her price! read more

Maile is MAGICAL!! No seriously... For my wedding, I booked a trial session with Maile super smooth and easy. She came to my house and I Just roughly explained that the makeup was to focus on perfecting skin with natural eyes & to do the side parted curls with flowers in my hair. She worked her magic and everything came out absolutely GORGEOUS!! The day of my wedding she arrived at 10am. She started on hair and during the trial run; I noticed my hair held a tight curl too well... so she was able to do the last minute change to make more flowy loose curls(LOVED!) while incorporating the loose roses I had. I have really bad acne scarring and had pimples on my cheeks! She concealed them like NO OTHER! The foundation combinations she used didn't feel heavy at all! It was like I wasn't even wearing makeup! Eye makeup was to die for! She doubled my lashes but they weren't heavy on the lids either! I was crying and tearing up a storm during my entire ceremony and not one lash popped off! My eyeliner and shadow stayed completely intake! & the concealer and foundation did budget AT ALL! She made my makeup bullet proof.. WHAT IS THIS SORCERY! My overall experience.. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to work with Maile! She's professional, funny, makes you feel comfortable, okay to work around Dogs!() and seriously guys... her work is out of this world!! Maile, thank you so much for such a beautiful experience on my special day! It went beyond perfect and my makeup was absolutely breathe taking! P.S. Might I add.. her makeup kit is tooooo dieeeee forrr!!! She uses a combo of Mac, Tarte, Too Faced, Bobbi Brown & much more! read more

If you are looking for someone to do your hair and makeup for your wedding or a special event, your search is over! Contacting Maile was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning process. Not only did she do an amazing job (see pictures) but she is also a kind and caring person who is fun to spend your day with AND she got my entire wedding party done ON TIME! She is a clearly skilled professional and experienced, but she also listens to you. She makes sure that she can bring your vision to life. I told her that I wanted to look like the best version of myself. I wanted to look at my photos and still look like me, not some made up person I didn't recognize. She accomplished just that. I feel as though I look beautiful in the photos and the best part was, I didn't have to touch up my makeup at any point during the day. I added more lipstick before my reception and that was it! Before contacting Maile, I had a trial with another artist and I left sorely disappointed. I was told by that artist that the results of the trial will not match what you see on your wedding day. Not true!!! I left my trial with Maile (which I also highly recommend doing to ease nerves and try out your look!) looking and feeling EXACTLY how I wanted to feel on my wedding day. And when that day came, she did not din more beautiful than I did for my trial and the other ladies in my party looked beautiful as well. For the day of the wedding Miliey brought an assistant along to help with the hair for the party and to set my hair. Aaron was great and everyone loved the styling they got from both Aaron and Maile. If I ever have an event or am in someone else's wedding in the future, I will certainly be calling Maile. She is wonderful and you're going to love her too! read more

I absolutely love Maile's work! She is very talented, friendly and outgoing! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a good makeup artist/hair stylist! read more

Maile is amazing!!! She works magic with her tools and creates a 2.0 version of yourself. She did wedding hair and make up and picked up every girls requests better than pictured and knew the most flattering styles and make up tones for each of us. I've found that a lot of make up artists have a technique and use that same technique/template on all their faces. However, Maile studies your features and knows how to compliment them specific to you. I highly recommend Maile for any upcoming events you have. I was trying to convince her to hold classes to show people how to do their own makeup because I wish I could recreate this look everyday! read more

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to Maile for doing such a wonderful job on my makeup and hair for my Graduation pictures. I was so pleased with the way everything came out and so many people commented on how lovely my makeup and hair looked! Everything came out amazing!!! I really appreciate it and I can't wait to book another appointment in the future. I highly recommend her for any occasion for hair and makeup. read more

Maile is my go-to hair/make-up artist when it comes to special events. My sister, my mom, and I have been hiring her from cotillions to my parents' wedding anniversary. In the past, we've been able to schedule a trial meeting prior to our event. She is prompt, efficient, and able to achieve the look that you desire. When we get our makeup/hair done, we've always been complimented throughout the event. She definitely makes you feel like a classy princess. She does a great job and can't wait to book her again! read more

I can't believe that a year has gone by and I'm already celebrating my first anniversary! Where did the time go??? It sure went by quick. As my husband and I mulled about our wedding day, we popped open our wedding album and the first thing I noticed was how flawless and natural I looked! From picture to picture, my makeup was super flawless and my hair stayed in place. I couldn't help but feeling so gorgeous and reliving every second of it! And I have to thank Maile Mercado for that! Not only is Maile is truly a talented hair and makeup artist, she also really listens. As I explained what I wanted, she really honed in and knew exactly what I wanted, and during the trial makeup appointment, she got my every wish exactly correct! I was super happy with the trial! On the day of my wedding, Maile got to my hotel at 6am. She did wonders on my mom, and even got my mother, who does not like to wear makeup, to put on fake false lashes. My mom looked so elegant and beautiful and her blue eyes shined in every photo! Maile also transformed my matron of honor, with dramatic eyes and hairstyle. Maile really knows her stuff! After my matron of honor and my mom, Maile spent the bulk of the time on me. As a nervous and tired bride-to-be, she calmed my nerves and joked around with me while carefully applying my makeup and doing my hair. She really made me feel comfortable and I felt really relaxed. After she was finished, I was again amazed at how she made me look so beautiful. One other thing, Maile's assistant (I can't remember her name) was an absolute sweetie and super talented as well! She helped with my mom's hair, which was a feat in itself! :-) Your wedding day is one single day in your life. And it goes by REALLY fast. You'll have your pictures that will tell the story and why not look your most gorgeous ever? I did and do owe it to Maile Mercado. I'd totally recommend Maile in a hearbeat! As for me, my wedding pictures will last a lifetime. I LOVE the way I look in each and everyone of them. read more

Maile is amazing. I did not want professional makeup for my wedding, because I rarely wear makeup and wanted to make sure that I looked and felt like myself that day. Maile came to our house for a trial run and I was blown away. On the day of the wedding she showed up with her magic tool set and totally transformed me, my mom, and most of my bridal party with her skills! The best part was, we still looked exactly like ourselves! I felt just like myself, and I continue to get compliments on the makeup I had that day. I cannot thank her enough for everything she did to make our day special! You will NOT regret booking Maile for any event!!! (For the record-this is my wife's review) read more

Maile is a rockstar. Not only did she save me from having to do my own make-up, but she definitely was there to do all my bridesmaids, mom, grandma, and niece. Having worked with her at MAC a few years ago, I had a lot of exposure to her incredible work. I trusted her judgment and creativity & everyone looked fantastic. If I ever have a third wedding, I wouldn't even think twice about asking Maile to do my make-up and maybe that time she could also do my hair! read more

She came to my house to do my makeup and hair style for my daughter's wedding. I received compliments for my hairstyle at the ceremony and my makeup made me looked younger. Maile was also very sweet and accommodating. I will definitely recommend if someone asks me for a stylist. read more

I've used Maile for Hair and Makeup a handful of times for special occasions and she's amazing. She's the sweetest person and very professional and talented. I will keep going to her for my hair and makeup needs. Maile, thank you for making me look and feel beautiful. read more

5 stars because Maile is an absolute gem! She did my best friend's hair and makeup on her wedding day (8/11/18), and the end result was stunning! The bride doesn't really wear makeup often (she doesn't need to because she already has gorgeous skin), so Maile took that into consideration and delivered a soft wedding glow that completely elevated her overall natural beauty. Maile provided additional services as well - she did my hair, another bridesmaid's hair, and she did hair and makeup for the mother of the bride - all of which came out to be beautiful! And most importantly, our hairstyles stayed put all day and night amidst the hot weather and running around. From the get-go, Maile was extremely easy to work with. She responded to my initial inquiry very quickly and she was very transparent about her services and pricing. I really appreciated her thorough communication and overall personality. She's super fun to talk to! I would highly recommend Maile! :) read more

Maile is a superstar. She was referred to me by my good friend who had also used her for her wedding. After my hair trial, I didn't have to look any further. She did hair and make up for myself and bridal party, finished everyone on schedule, and styled everyone according to the pictures they brought. We were all super pleased. I have recommended her to my other friends that were also married this year and encourage anyone looking for a stylist to reach out to her right away! read more

Maile is awesome! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She's very easy to work with and her prices are more than reasonable. My hope was to find someone that did both hair and makeup so that I wouldn't have to look for 2 separate people (practical and lazy part of me)...and not only does she do both, she excels at both!! I've recommended Maile to many of my friends for their weddings and she's done beautiful work on all of them! read more

I can't say enough nice things about Maile and the work that she does. You've made my mom and I look beautiful on my special day. Book her, because she's very passionate of her work and she does above and beyond to meet your expectations. Again, thank you so much Maile. read more

I used Maile two years ago and til this day I still refer her to my friends. I got so many compliments on my make-up & hair during my wedding, and I love that she does both and charges a very reasonable rate. Instead of going through someone from a salon, which has a huge markup, going through someone like Maile was one of the smartest decisions I made for my wedding. Definitely get in touch with Maile if you need a stylist for your wedding! read more

Maile & her crew came to Sir Frances Drake motel to make our wedding party beautiful for our once in a lifetime Fools in Love experience!! They did a fabulous job on ALL of us, made the experience a blast!! Thank you sweet much, Maile!! read more

I honestly couldn't be happier with how artfully and tastefully Maile did my make up and hair. I felt pampered and beautiful. I really loved how well she did my make up as an Asian woman. She honors direction so perfectly while adding her stylish expertise. She also did my mom and sister's hair (mother of the bride and first matron of honor. They absolutely loved their looks too. I just wish she lived in LA so I could hire her for future occasions. I very highly recommend her. read more

Maile did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup for my ceremony and reception. She made my makeup look beautiful despite my problematic skin and was able to keep my stick straight hair bouncy all night! She is professional, efficient and a lovely person to talk to. Also, her rates are so reasonable compared to other bridal hair and makeup artists. I received a lot of compliments that night and I know a lot of them are due to Maile's expertise. Highly recommended! read more

Maile did a wonderful job for my wedding day hair and makeup! I met her at her home studio for a trial about a month before my wedding. She was very honest in her expertise and what would work best for me. While doing my makeup on my wedding day, she did her best to calm me down. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and felt really beautiful too. The only concerns I had on my wedding day were: 1. When we got to the reception (which was only about 4 hours after completing hair and makeup), my hair was already coming apart. I had already planned to do a hair style change, but had to do it sooner than anticipated because my "low do" began to unravel. 2. My right eyelash started to come off about an hour and half into the reception. When I did the trial, my makeup stayed on a really long time, including my eyelashes. Luckily, my bridesmaid had eyelash glue. (NOTE TO BRIDES: include eyelash glue in your emergency kit!) Nevertheless, I would strongly recommend Maile for your hair and makeup needs! read more

Maile is awesomely talented. I loved my Maid of Honor hair and makeup and received many compliments. She knew exactly what I wanted and had the perfect approach. read more

Here are my criteria when I was looking for someone to do my wedding hair and makeup: - Listens to what her clients want but as the same time will speak up and make recommendations based on what would look good on me. - Makes me look great in person and in photos without looking like I had too much make up on (I don't normally wear make up day to day amd like a more natural look). Most importantly, I still look like myself and not another person. - Is very reasonably priced for the same high quality of work compared to the other wedding make up artist and hair stylists in the Bay Area. This is very important! Weddings are very expensive and I want to stay on budget. - Flexible and accomadating: we were behind schedule and not only did she and her team caught us up, she had time in the end to do my youngest sisters hair and make up! - Punctual - Great personality, easy to work with I almost gave up and didn't think I can find someone who does great work, had experience, and is reasonably priced until I talked to my friend. Maile did her wedding hair and makeup a few years ago and wholeheartedly recommended her. Maile fits everything I was looking for and more! I feel she is underrated and is a best kept secret. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup on my wedding day, and our wedding pictures reflect what a great job she did! I looked and feel beautiful! My mom and bridesmaid all looked beautiful! If you are looking for a talented hair and makeup artist who passionate about her work, do not want to pay an arm and a leg that other vendors who provide the same quality and service charge, contact Maile! I highly recommend her and will contact her again in the future if I need my hair and/or maKe up some for any future events or occasions. read more

From cotillions, to graduations, to performances, to special parties, and to now weddings, Beauty by Maile Hair & Make-up Design is my number 1 go-to! I simply love how she knows how to work with my sensitive and unpredictable skin type. Not only does she execute her passion really well, but she also extends her services in other ways. I'll never forget when I had my first make-up splurge, Maile was kind enough to talk with me on the phone to discuss which products are best for my skin and which ones to buy. Via phone alone, she remembered exactly what she uses on my skin and gave me a list of exactly what to buy. Until this day, I use the same products because of her awesome recommendations. I'm most positive that I will be using Beauty by Maile for every future occasion because she knows how to enhance every girl's features, making them look and feel beautiful in their own unique way. read more

If I could give more stars I would! Maile was the absolute best! I know because I had 3 trials with other women and was convinced I was going to have to do it myself when my friend recommended her the day before. I did not even do the trial because we had no time and based on my friends' opinions I didn't need a trial! My girls were right. I just simply gave her a brief description of what I wanted and Maile fully executed my look way better than I could ever imagine!! Her work and the way she makes you feel on your special day is indescribable! Breathtaking to say the least. If Maile is doing your hair or makeup for your wedding you could definitely rest assured! It's the last thing to worry about! She definitely knows her stuff. Also-- this is very important too but she was also on time with all the girls and did my hair so elaborate and sooo fast! And it lasted til the very end!!!! Thanks Maile! I refer her to everyone getting married. read more

Maile is fantastic!!! Maile did my make up for my wedding and my entourage's make up. She's super articulate, but doesn't take hours and hours doing your hair and make-up.

She's done make up and hair for a number of my friends 'wedding . I highly recommend her. read more

I don't even know where to begin this review since I have so many great things to say about Maile! She is unbelievably TALENTED, incredibly kind, patient and very professional. She's just an all around genuine, amazing person/artist. She is flexible, communicative, and very skilled. She genuinely wants you to look beautiful, and she definitely has the skills to make that happen. What more could you ask for in a makeup artist?!? On my wedding day, she arrived promptly and was ready to go. She did make up for all 4 of my bridesmaids and myself. She adjusted to each of our individual styles but kept us cohesive in look. We all looked amazing!! You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Maile. read more

I have known and admired Maile for many years. Her makeup, skin and hair are always flawless!! Isn't that what you want in a stylist? She did my wedding makeup and hair and I couldn't have been happier. I am such a picky client. She really listens to what you want. Having my hair and makeup looking perfect was so important to me but when I reflect on that special day what I realize is how she made me feel. I was so nervous and having someone in your face can be a nightmare if it is not the right person. Maile totally put me at ease....and made me look beautiful. You can't ask for more!!! read more

Maile is amazing! She does fantastic work, is professional and super efficient. The first year we worked with Maile, she did the make-up for our dance group for our studio photoshoot. Not only did she do a fantastic job on the make-up, but she was able to crank through a group of about 20-25 people in a very tight period of time, put the pedal to the metal and made it happen. She rocked! And everyone looked great! We were so happy with the results that we hired Maile to do the make-up for subsequent photoshoots, and for our stage performances. I would highly recommend Maile for your make-up needs. She does fantastic work, is dependable, and her prices are reasonable. read more

Maile just did my friend's wedding this past weekend and she such a great job. I loved the makeup and hair she for me and the rest of the bridal party. Felt so pretty all day.

Maile sure did work wonders with my extensions. My hair looked full and totally blended in nicely. My hair did not fall either, the curls stayed nice and flowey. I love Maile and reccommend her to all my family and friends. She's extremely talented and makes me happy every time.
