First time use bfab. I was a bit worry because not many non Asian artist know how to do makeup and hair for Asians, not to mention I will be wearing a traditional Chinese dress, and I'm turning 60 which requires different makeup style than when I was younger. The founder Sharon responded right away and matched me with an artist within hours. She let me connect with the artist Sophia before paying so I could ask questions which ease my apprehension. Sophia arrived early the day, so she could start on time. She is professional, talented and very experienced. She is also very fun to talk to and makes the whole session very enjoyable. She asked what I have in mind and show her photos of my dress. She proposed colors and style and explained why. Quickly I have full confidence in her and let her do what she thinks is best for me that day. During the session I could tell she loves doing her work, so I feel that I'm an artwork that she is creating. The result was amazing. I still look like me but a much enhanced me. My friends praise that I look gorgeous and ask who my makeup artist was. I would definitely use this service again. read more

Had a GREAT experience with Simin. She was on time, got done in the time allotted and did a great job. Very happy - will use you again.

From the point of making an appointment to making the payment for the services - the process is so easy! Their response time is commendable. I got a reply for my queries within minutes. My make up was done by Mariza and hair by Edna. They make a great team. I wanted a specific look for my engagement photoshoot and they delivered perfectly! Really happy with the service!! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of my Bfab stylists! My hair and makeup was exactly how I was hoping it would be, and my stylists coming directly to my home was so fantastic. Recommended with full confidence! read more

I used Bfab for hair and makeup for my wedding. Ming was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding rehearsal as well. Even when my eyes were puffy from allergies, she worked her magic and made me look great. The other artists who did my bridal party's hair and makeup did an awesome job and they made everyone look beautiful. I highly recommend booking them for a wedding or any event. read more

I used bfab to get my hair done for my baby shower. Although it was 7:30am in the morning on Saturday, my hair stylist Kat was at my place at 7:30am sharp, and she knew exactly what needed to be done to get the hair style I wanted for the day. I was so happy with the result and got a lot of compliments. I will definitely use bfab again! read more

It has only been 12 hours since my wedding but I looked so fabulous I wanted to write my review right away. I loved the job Maya did with my makeup and hair- people kept telling me how great I looked and a few people said I was the most beautiful bride they have ever seen. I didn't even want to take off my eye makeup for sleep, it looks that great! Maya was so nice, professional, punctual, non-judgmental and patientThe rest of the bfab team is very responsive via email. I definitely recommended booking online first as a way to start the communication rather than phone. I did one makeup and two hair trials to get my look right, which I highly recommend. Even with trials bfab is far and away the most cost effective choice for wedding hair and make up. Highly recommend! read more

Sophia is magic! I was in town to meet with a large tech company CEO and didn't want the stress of dealing with my hair and makeup. She came two mornings in a row and was a master at making me feel pretty but also professional. She's such a sweetheart; it was an honor to hang out with her as well! My trip would not have been as successful as it was if she hadn't given me the confidence I walked into meetings with. I also loved how they are totally up-front with costs and follow up with you every step of the way to make sure you have confirmation of expectations and are getting the service you need. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. THANK YOU!!! read more

Lily and Jane did a great job with my hair and makeup! I've never had airbrushing done on me before and I really like how it covered and smoothed out my skin without feeling like the makeup was caked on or looked greasy. I had one friend who is currently going to cosmetology school and he was admiring Lily's craftsmanship with my hair. I looked and felt fabulous! read more

I want to rave about the great ease and service that bfab provides. My husband and I had an event on a Thursday night. On a school night and with kids going different directions, etc. it was going to be hard to go to my usual place where parking and traffic a nightmare. So I decided to try bfab. Simin came to the house, whipped out her tools and - VOILA - 40 mins later I was ready to go with fun curls that bounced all night. The price point is just right, especially considering all the time and hassle saved. I'm going to book now for my upcoming holiday parties...thanks bfab!!! read more

Bfab did a flawless job in helping me feel absolutely stunning on my spectacular wedding day! Kat is oh so talented and a true artist. I very rarely get my hair or makeup done professionally so I trusted Kat to advise me on what would look best for my skin tone and for photos (which will last a lifetime!) She came to my house for the trial and she made me feel so comfortable. We texted later that day about a few very minor tweaks to note for wedding day. On wedding day at the remote, private estate, Kat showed up early and was ready to get to work transforming my sister, sister-in-law, mother and mother-in-law (in addition to myself.) She was a calming, fun presence as well. My bridal look came out flawlessly and I can't wait to get the professional photos and videos to share to prove it! Bfab & Margo were extremely communicative and easy to work with via email and before I booked them initially, I had a terrific call with Margo to understand the process. I highly recommend booking Bfab for your wedding hair & makeup and request Kat if she's available! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with Bfab! I had heard so much about them, and decided to try them out for makeup and nails before going out to a holiday work party. They were on time and were so accommodating with our space. They also were very careful to give me a natural look which is what I wanted for the party. Both stylists brought a professional suite of products and listened to what I wanted. And when I didn't know, they were very helpful in suggesting what would look best. It was such a great experience and so easy to setup. I would definitely recommend it as a treat to yourself! read more

I've used Bfab 2x so far and both times have been great! The first time I used Bfab was on my birthday. I wanted to feel special even though I had to work all day and luckily I found out about this service on a Facebook group. The communication was great when the stylist was stuck in traffic. Once my stylist arrived she was very nice and professional setting up and gave me an evaluation of my hair and how I wanted it styled. It took about an hour and I was good to go! She even took a photo of me in my birthday dress after :) The second time I used Bfab was close to a promotion and I asked if I could get the same rate even if it was a couple days later. Bfab reached out and gave me a discount and I was able to get my hair done the morning of my flight to England to see my boyfriend that I haven't seen for 2 years. My hair was silky soft when I reached my destination and I felt great. Service was again kind and professional. I definitely will use Bfab in the future, I love the convenience of them coming to my home especially since I only have a bike for transportation or lyft so it's super helpful! Thanks for being there for me in my times of need! read more

Bfab is fantastic!!! I recently got married and had spent months researching for a great company to do my bridal party's makeup. One thing I learned was that hair/makeup artists in the Bay Area are very expensive. But luckily, I came across bfab through Yelp and their prices were reasonable. I liked their client photos and decided to contact them. Margot and Sharon were extremely responsive and helpful. They emailed me additional client photos, specifically wedding ones. Once I booked with them, they continued their great responsiveness via email. They set up a test trial with their artist- Ming. She was absolutely amazing! I loved my trial and took notes on what needed adjusting for the big day. On the big day, I ended up being much darker from my spray tan and Ming easily adjusted my color. She created a masterpiece with my hair and my makeup was flawless. I couldn't have been happier with her work! Bfab scheduled for 3 other artists to come and help with my 4 bridesmaids. We had a small issue with one of the artists named Tanya, who gave a strange attitude to another artist. Tanya seemed a little inexperienced for the task at hand. She began the girl's hair by giving them a full blowout which was a little confusing and ultimately time consuming. She only ended up having time to do 2 of the girl's hair, and neither girl was very satisfied with the product. Luckily, one of the other artists name Kaira came and not only did the other 2 girl's hair beautifully, but she helped to adjust the 2 girl's hair that were unhappy with Tanya's work. We also had Marcella out working on 3 of the girl's makeup. She did an absolutely stunning job and everyone was thrilled with their work. I also had one issue with payment. I had made a $200 deposit over the phone when I submitted my contract, but bfab must not have kept record of this. I kept reminding them later through email but they didn't address the issue until the week of the wedding. Luckily, I was able to provide a screen shot of my payment transaction and clear up the issue. All in all, I would highly recommend using bfab!!! They are easy to work with, their artists are amazing, and their quality of work is exactly what I had hoped for! read more

Great prices and always amazing stylist. I have not had a bad one yet. They are reliable (when they say someone will come they will come and not cancel on you at the last minute), on time and extremely friendly. I would say they are the best mobile blow out service around. Their styles last quite sometime. I've had updos and blowouts with their stylists and I've shown them pictures of what I like and they were able to replicate it really well. They are also very nice and sweet and helpful. read more

As a brand-new mom, this was the perfect way to pamper myself and get ready for our newborn photo shoot. Kat arrived on time and was really considerate about being quiet for my new baby. She did a fantastic job and made me feel beautiful for pictures we'll treasure for a lifetime. read more

Bfab - Hair and makeup by Kat for our newborn photo shoot - Blow Dry/Out Services Near Me

Really happy with this service, have used Bfab a couple times for events (parties, weddings). Love having on location hair/makeup and have been thrilled with the results. Each time stylists have been professional, friendly, and talented, using inspiration photos and weaving together style that matches outfit/dress. Totally reasonable prices. Will use again! Thanks Bfab read more

The service we had from Bfab team was outstanding- everything went smoothly, everyone was totally thrilled w their hair and makeup, bride was stunning! read more

I got my hair and makeup done from Elisa and Cameo for my bridal shower. They were both professional, friendly and listened to my ideas. I have never been complimented so much on my make up and hair as that day. I will definitely be using Bfab again! read more

I hired Bfab several months ago when I was in a dilemma. The night before a photo shoot, the make up artist I previously hired decided to raise her prices, double. Unfortunately for her, I don't work that way. I immediately went on line and found Bfab. I spoke with Margo and told her my situation and within 15 minutes I had a make up artist. . The next day my make up artist showed up on time and prepared (she was actually early). Ever since that day, I have hired Bfab over 11 separate occasions stemming from print, promos and film productions. Why? Three major factors: Prompt, Professional and Clear Pricing. I am very pleased and will hire Bfab again and again. Bonus: The MUA and hairstylists I've met are hardworking women that are good at what they do. Thanks, Margo! read more

This seemed like such a promising service when I was in a bind to find a last-minute stylist for my wedding day. It was a huge gamble that unfortunately didn't go very well. My hairstylist was nice enough and showed up on time, but her service was disappointing. When I asked for a little more volume, she attempted to tease my hair with all of the bobby pins intact. Needless to say, it wasn't helpful at all and quite painful. She then let me know that my hair was difficult to work with. Thank goodness I booked another artist later that evening because my hair would have been a hot mess on my wedding day. For all the brides in a bind, don't do it! Spend the extra money and go somewhere else! read more

I needed a blow out for a job interview in Silicon Valley. BFab was extremely convenient, since I had no idea where to find a blow dry bar in the area. My stylist arrived to my hotel on time, was kind and did a fabulous job in my hair. The only reason I'm rating this with 4 stars was because I informed the stylist that I had clip in extensions and asked her to let me know if there was an extra charge. She just said "it's ok" and proceeded to place them in my hair. That to me meant there was no extra charge. However, I received an invoice the next day with a charge for the extensions. I had no problem paying extra, I just wished this was communicated with me prior to them being placed in my hair. I would definitely use this service again, though and would highly recommend it! Just make sure all costs are communicated clearly prior to your service. read more

Got my hair and makeup done here for prom and was extremely satisfied with the service! I gave my hairstylist a very vague description of how I wanted my hair to look and she ended up doing my hair even better than I had imagined. I also don't usually wear a lot of makeup and wanted a natural look and my makeup artist made sure I got what I wanted by constantly showing me how I looked and asking for feedback. Highly recommend! read more

As a Mothers Day gift my wife wanted to be pampered so we booked a beauty service with bfab which included hair and makeup. This is one of those beauty services where they come to your home or office etc. The stylist arrived at our home and was very friendly but also professional and knowledgeable. My wife loved the service - it was super convenient having the stylist come to us and she loved the whole experience and looked amazing. This seems to be a quality service and my wife will definitely use them again. read more

I called the company and explained that I wanted a faux hawk braid, which is complicated. I was clear about what I wanted and the scheduler said that she had the perfect stylist. I asked again to make sure and was again assured that they would send the perfect stylist. When the stylist arrived she had no idea what I was talking about even after I showed her pictures. She ended up braiding my hair in a little house on the prairie style. I was upset but paid the girl anyway. I will never use this service again, as I feel i was lied to. read more

What a gem! When I first saw them at a bridal fair I thought: "this has to be either too good to be true or way too expensive" When I first called, I was blown away but how easy their were to talk to, we were laughing and bonding over the phone instantly. They bent over backwards to accommodate me. Both booking my trial the day of my engagement photos and finding a second stylist to come to the wedding day so my girls don't have to get up at 6am for my 1pm wedding. The Stylist, Maya is DOLL, I absolutely loved her. She was so easy to talk to, work with, and she did a great job! The make up was very comfortable and lasted through my super windy evening. Not to mention their prices are good! I talked to a hair stylist that costed more and didn't do make up too. So I am very happy and very excited to have them help with my wedding. read more

I used bfab for my engagement shoot as well as the wedding day. Absolutely loved the bfab team when both planning and day of. Excellent service, very communicative, friendly and accommodating. Kat was working with me and was extremely patient with me and gave advise for what she had seen previously. Sometimes when you're working with stylists, you are nervous to ask for changes for fear of hurting feelings or stepping on their artistic vision, but bfab encourages feedback and is willing to make changes to make you feel as beautiful and comfortable as ever. My bridesmaids paid for their own services and that worked out REALLY well with bfab's process of payment ahead of time. I gave bfab email addresses and they were in direct contact, which made my days that much more carefree. Thank you bfab for making me and my girls feel beautiful and comfortable. I will use bfab in the future for any special events. read more

I had a photo session and needed a hair stylist. Bfab sent Edna to my house, and she was on time, very professional, totally amazing! I have curly hair, and she knew exactly how to handle it. My hair never looked this good before! Highly recommended read more

I used to always have my hair done at blow out bars,I would have to make an appointment weeks in advance,my friend had used bfab and insisted I try them. The day of our school auction, I had to work and thought I would never have a chance to have my hair done, I finished work at 4pm and used the bfab app to book a stylist for 6pm ( it's like über for your hair- I love it!) I honestly had the best experience. The most wonderful stylist came to my door at exactly 6pm, it was if my fairy godmother had arrived, I felt exactly like Cinderella. I had my hair and makeup done. I told her what I liked.She did such an amazing job. I was so thrilled! I can't wait to use them again. There's actually no excuse to look bad anymore! Thanks bfab for making me feel like a princess. Im also so excited to give gift cards to my friends for their birthdays! I just want everyone to use them, it's such a treat and we all deserve to be pampered and to look gorgeous! read more

Margo / Sharon .. I have the right company alright . As i said, my experience with Brooke from Sacramento was good .. but after that it completely went down hill and I haven't hired you guys since. read more

I cannot say enough great things about the entire team at bfab! When planning our wedding, hair/makeup was the most daunting for me. I'm fairly well practiced in doing my own hair and makeup and while I could have done my own for our wedding, I simply didn't want to. Not to mention there was the bridal party to think about! So needless to say I was a bit discerning when looking for makeup artists and stylists. There are lots of reasons why bfab is great so I'll limit it to the Top Five. #1) I LOVED my stylist Ming!! She was so talented, listened to what I wanted, made great suggestions, and was a joy to be around. I had so much fun at my trial with her I knew I had made the right choice. #2) They were extremely responsive to all inquiries and communications. #3) They were very organized with the day-of timeline as well as flexible with accommodating who was getting what done. My mom was only getting a blowout, my MIL had extensions put in, some girls had hair up, some down, they handled it all!! #4) They sent a team of 3 amazing stylists (Ming, Lily, and Elisa) which made it feel like there was never a rush or time crunch. Even so, they built in a time buffer just to be safe. #5) Most importantly, all these factors resulted in an amazing morning hanging out with my dearest friends, sisters and moms. There was zero stress and we were simply just able to enjoy it. Can't beat that! read more

These ladies are awesome. From booking and payment to actual service, they were great to work with. Jen did my hair and makeup for an event, and I received compliments all night. I will definitely be calling Jen and bfab again! Thank you guys! read more

OMG...what a find!!! Needed to get a crew of us ready for a Rockn'Roll gala. Big hair, lots of make-up and creativity. We had 3 artists/stylists here and they created magic. We all LOVED our looks and had fun doing it. Sharon coordinated the schedule and it was effortless for me. Great communication beginning to end! Will definitely use again! read more

This place is great! Scheduled them for makeup and updo for my work holiday party. You pay upfront (including 20% gratuity), total cost was $192. It was really convenient having my hair/ makeup done at home. The women who came were friendly and very talented. I got a great smokey eyes makeup, and beautiful chignon for my hair. They brought all of their equipment, everything was really easy and pleasant. Very happy with the result. My appointment was from 4:00-5:30. The makeup artist arrived ~4:10 and the hair stylist ~4:30, and they were both finished at ~5:45. Probably good to leave a bit of buffer on timing as with any appointment. Highly recommend! read more

100% fabulous. Had a certain look I was going for -1970s disco for a theme party - and my stylist totally killed it. She was so easy to work with, took feedback, was in/out - I will never go to a dry bar again. So happy I found bfab!! read more

I hired Bfab to do my daughter's hair and makeup for her senior portraits. Our portrait session was at 9am on a Sunday morning, so we knew that a salon appointment wouldn't be possible. I reached out to Bfab a few days in advance of our photo shoot, and they got right back to me with confirmation of our appointment. Susan arrived at our home at 7:30am and got straight to work styling my daughter's hair. Then she did her makeup, just the way my daughter wanted - minimal and natural, and the result was stunning. It was fun and relaxing, with no stress or rushing around, and we were finished and on our way to the photo shoot right on time. We would definitely recommend this service, and will consider it for prom season, too! read more

Kat is AWESOME. I initally was only going to do hair, but I decided last minute on makeup and she was happy to oblige. Kat is personable, talented, prompt, and I will definitely use this service again. I felt beautiful and confident. Not overly made up. Hair and makeup was flawless. So cool they come right to your home! read more

I had my hair blown out by Natalie this morning and it was worth every penny she listened to exactly what I wanted my hair to look like and she made it happen. As a person who frequents dry bars I was a little weary about this mobile service but not anymore. It's a great service and I'm happy to have given them a chance read more

I used this service for a surprise blowout and makeup service for my girlfriend. I don't know much about hair and makeup but Sharon and margo were super helpful and got a great stylist for my girlfriend. She absolutely loved it!! Amazing service. read more

I contacted Bfab requesting assistance with makeup and hair for an event are they were quick to respond. Though they traditionally only go to somewhere you will be (house or building you have access to) I explained that I was in a unique situation and needed to go to THEM. Bfab found a lady close by who was willing to make the exception! At the end of the day my plans fell through and I did not use them, but I really appreciate how helpful they were with accommodating! read more
