Christa did my make up and updo for my 5 year anniversary photoshoot at Inglenook Winery at Napa on Valentine's day. She came early to set up and gave me enough time to get dressed after so that my photoshoot was stress free! She was beey sweet, personable and professional. She took time before the photoshoot in emailing me to ask me what make up and hairstyle I wanted and what she also suggested. I had an awesome experience with Christa. She made me feel like I was getting married all over again with the spot on make up and hair! The photos came out amazing because if her amazing make up! The make up and hair stayed up very long and nicely. When it came to removing my make up, it was soo easy compared to others that Ive had which I had to use so much wipes/makeup remover. I wish Christa was based in NYC! I would definitely use her again!! read more

Christa & her team came to my rescue a week out from my wedding... they were quick with responding via phone and email. With the wedding being as soon as it was they were able to set a trial date that fit my schedule and were willing to work with me. My stylists' names were Mary & Camden...who by the way worked very well together. They listened closely to what my vision was and worked their magic just by looking at a few photos... (which were the same photos that I had shown to my previous hair & makeup team, but just was not able to execute what I had envisioned and for my wedding, I just couldn't settle). Luckily I was able to book my Blush Team...!! They were very prompt, always on time, walking me through every step to make sure that they were going in the same direction of my vision. They made sure that we were comfortable the entire time... My hair & makeup was done beautifully, exactly what I had hoped for...my girls were just as beautiful!! Mary & Camden, I couldn't have asked for a more fun, amazing, and talented team. They had really saved my wedding day, making it as perfect as it could be and I can't thank the entire team & process enough!! read more

Christa is an incredible artist! She really listened to my ideas about the style I wanted and made sure I was comfortable and pleased with her work throughout the session. I LOVED the end result and got compliments the entire night. She even gave me a few pointers and tips for applying my make-up every day. Would recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Christa did my hair and makeup for a boudoir photoshoot and I was very impressed! I normally always do my own hair and makeup and I have to say it was the best experience ever. She has every color/product you can imagine of the best quality! My hair is very thick and long but that didn't stop her from curling every last strand. It was full of body and still soft even after product. I felt super sexy! My makeup was very sultry and truly made my pictures pop! She has an incredible talent, attention to detail and works at a great pace. All around I had an amazing experience feeling like a sultry vixen and I would definitely use Christa again. I recommend her for weddings, photo shoots, graduations, special events or just because. read more

I cant speak to the hair portion of the service but the makeup portion was great. I used the services for my wedding day. Christa was recommended through the wedding planning company I chose. I am from MN and was nervous about selecting a makeup artist long distance. While communicating through email could be tricky, when the day arrived Christa was great, she arrived early and put my mind at ease about getting my makeup done. She checked in with me throughout the process and was very responsive to my requests as we went along. I have extremely dry skin and did not have any problems with the makeup. I am not used to wearing makeup and was taken aback by how wonderful I looked when she was done. I got many compliments on my makeup and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their makeup done for their wedding or any special occasion. read more

Christa did a beautiful job with my hair and makeup! I felt like a more beautiful version of myself and that's exactly what I was hoping for. She is very versatile in her skills; she can do very dramatic and sexy makeup OR very natural and understated. As someone who doesn't really wear makeup, I definitely opted for a more natural look. After our trial, I wanted to make a couple changes and she received feedback well and made the adjustments I requested. She is extremely personable and easy to talk to. I never felt uncomfortable and we had a great time chatting. The reason I rated my experience slightly as a 3 was due to professionalism- the assistant who was supposed to do my hair the day of the wedding cancelled the night before which significantly delayed our timeline the day of the wedding because my mom and mother-in-law both got their makeup done, too. I finished almost two hours later than when I was supposed to which caused a lot of stress the day of the wedding and actually impacted my ability to spend quality time with my bridesmaids and family members. Again, everything turned out beautiful- my makeup was natural and perfect and my hair was secure and gorgeous. I highly recommend Christa and her skills; just make sure you're leaving plenty of time and maybe not relying on anyone but her. read more

Blush did my hair and makeup for my wedding and were spectacular! Amazingly easy to work with and incredibly friendly! I got the bridal services and services for my bridesmaids and everyone looked amazing! They worked with exactly what people were wanting and didn't force any heavy makeup (common with certain artists)! I have feedback after my preview and the makeup artist took my critiques very well and perfected exactly what I wanted! 100/10 would recommend! read more

You definitely should use Blush on your next big event! I had about a month to help my friend plan her destination wedding on Oahu. Luckily Christa was available to come do her makeup and mine (yippee)! She was very professional, punctual and kind. I was shocked at their pleasantness despite working conditions. It was deathly hot & muggy, and they didn't even have a finished home to do their magic in!! To our great surprise and satisfaction, our makeup and hair was done on time, beautifully and even stayed fresh all night! I couldn't believe it! It was a highlight for me despite a long (but fun) day. If you hire Blush for your next wedding or big event, you will not be disappointed. I would do it in a heartbeat! read more

I recently used Blush Makeup and Hair services for my daughters wedding at Paradise Cove Oahu. Our stylist and makeup artist Mei was amazing. We provided a few examples of how we wanted our hair and makeup and she fully executed our vision to a T! She is extremely talented! I would recommend their services in a heartbeat. Mei was professional and punctual and stuck to our timeline. She made my daughters day perfect and stress free.

for about two years I've been going to a Korean lady to get my hair did and she was great. yes great all up until she went way too short to the point where I just buzzed my whole head. with that being said it took me about another 6 months to find a place, better yet stylist(s), that knew what I wanted every time. I met Miya Brown during the Top Model Hawaii runway competition. she was my hair and makeup artist for the whole shebang. after the production I went to her for a simple cut and I left with a new stylist that I could trust. yes I trust Miya but I was also pointed in the direction of young stylist, Chanelle. she knew what to do with my hair even though she was nervous at first. overall, this salon is trendy, hip, style oriented and I'm happy I have a place to turn to for all my hair styling needs! mahalo Blush read more

Christa was great to work with, she was responsive and was really listened to what I wanted. After my trial, I gave some feedback and she made it happened.

At midnight, i looked as good as i did at noon. Christa is really nice and dependable. In addition to being a talented artist, she truly cares about ensuring you get the look you want. I would definitely recommend her to anyone with a special event coming up :) read more

Very easy to work with. Arrived on time and it good spirits. Due the amount of bridesmaids (6) and the location her team had to arrive at 5:30am to start doing all of our hair and make-up. Very personable team and all the girls loved their hair & make-up. Definite recommend! read more

I would highly recommend Christa from Blush Hair and Make-up. She did my hair and make-up as well as all of my bridesmaids hair for our Hawaiian wedding and I was beyond happy with how everything turned out. I got exactly what I wanted with my hair and my airbrush make-up was flawless!! Everything lasted throughout the entire day and night and I kept getting compliments on how beautiful everything was.

Christa did my wedding makeup that turned out great! She was absolutely professional. I was a little scared for not having had a trial but everything turned out well since I could check the makeup all the time throughout the process and ask her to make small changes when needed. Got so many kind words about my makeup. I definitely recommend Christa. read more

I am extremely pleased with Blush Makeup and Hair! The first makeup and hair vendor I chose never returned emails or phone calls. She only responded to text messages. I found Christa on yelp after reading all the reviews. To be honest I was a little worried on how things would turn out, but I am so glad I chose Christa. She responded to all my emails very quickly, and asked for pictures of how I wanted my makeup and hair. She was very professional and made the getting ready portion of my wedding day wonderdul. This is saying a lot, since our wakeup time was at 1:45 am! I will, without a doubt, go with Christa for any future special occasions. read more

Christa and her team did an amazing job for my wedding! Our hair and makeup looked fantastic, we got so many compliments from the wedding guests. There was a ballistic missile threat on the morning of the wedding, and she and her team still showed up on time and got the job done. We had such a blast getting ready, all of my bridesmaids were raving about how good they looked. Christa is very talented and professional, you won't be disappointed! read more

Her make up style will only enhance your smile and face, making you feel comfortable in your own skin so that you can enjoy your moment and feel great about yourself! read more

Im a tomboy and not one to wear make up. Once my wife and I got engaged and we started thinking about every little thing we needed for our wedding. When it came down to make up I didnt have to think twice. Christa is one of my friends from college and she was the first person that came to my mind. Ive seen photos of her work and its awesome. But even without it there was no one else that I would trust as my make up artist on the biggest day of my life. She is awesome to work with and Im not just saying that because shes my friend. Shes easy going and made me feel so comfortable with make up on even tho I dont like to dress like a girl. Shes very professional from beginning to end but so fun to work with. I asked her for a natural look and thats exactly what she gave me. Almost everyone that I talked to at my wedding commented how amazing I looked and wanted to know who did my make up. I was so proud to tell them that it was my friend Christa from college. If youre looking for a make up artist for your wedding or any event I would definitely recommend Christa from Blush. Shes professional, easy going and fun to work with, and will help to make you look AMAZING!!! If she can turn a tomboy into a GORGEOUS girl imagine what she can do with girly girl. read more

Christa arrived on time and was incredibly professional. She went above and beyond with the hair and makeup as she even helped with holding up my dress for me to steam; shared a room with 4 other girls and needless to say we were all fumbling around getting ready for the wedding. I was a little apprehensive about scheduling a hair and makeup session with someone who I had never met as I am from Los Angeles, but christa put my nerves at ease as she answered all my emails in a timely manner and was incredibly patient. I should note, I had emailed another makeup professional in the hawaii area and she emailed me ONCE and didn't reply back when it came time to book (tisk, tisk on that unprofessionalism). I would highly recommend christa , she goes above and beyond! Mary, her assistant, came in to do hair and was even able to braid a beautiful hairdo on my friend at the last minute. Thanks again girls!! read more

Christa did my makeup for my wedding exactly how I wanted and imagined. It wasn't too heavy and looked extremely natural. I can't brag enough about how amazing she did, and how amazing our wedding pictures came out because of her. My husband doesn't like when I wear makeup but he absolutely loved what Christa did. She was calm and cool throughout the whole process and did whatever she could to touch me up last minute (although we were running late for the ceremony) to try and make me look and feel beautiful. When I was about to walk out the door and head to the limo, she told me to hang out so she could still make last minute touch ups! And when we got back prior to the reception I didn't even have to ask her to touch me up again! She was extremely willing to do whatever she could to make my day more than perfect! read more

I couldn't be happier with the services I received from Blush Makeup & Hair! Christa did my bridal makeup and Mary did my hair and I never felt more beautiful! The make up and hair were flawless and lasted the entire night. I have super sensitive and oily skin which were my biggest concerns but whatever Christa did, I did not have any allergic reaction and did not have to oil-blot at all. My hair typically falls flat but Mary made me look like I had tons of volume. They were professional, reliable and so pleasant to work with! I will DEFINITELY use their services again and would recommend Blush Makeup & Hair in a heartbeat! read more

Just had my wedding last week and I am so excited to leave a review for Christa and Mary of Blush Makeup & Hair. As a bride from New York, I was nervous about choosing a makeup artist without being able to meet in person. I chose Christa based on her Before & After pictures of clients on her website, and I'm so glad I did! Christa nailed the look I was going for on my wedding day - glamorous and eye-catching without being unnatural. Mary made my short bob-length hair look as though it were swept into an updo! It was a pleasure working with both of them, and they certainly impressed my bridesmaids and guests as well! I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Christa and Heather were amazing! I highly recommend them. They offer a great price and service. Christa was very prompt in responding to my inquiries and scheduling my trial and wedding day makeup. Both her and Heather were very professional, even staying up on the north shore the night before so they could start all of our hair and makeup by 6.30am. They made each of my bridesmaids, my mother and me look absolutely gorgeous well within our schedule.My hair and makeup stayed in place throughout the entire event. read more

I'm from Las Vegas so you can already imagine my struggles trying to plan a destination wedding. From the beginning, Christa was very easy to work with. She answered all my emails quickly and was flexible based on my needs. All of us, my mom, mother-in-law, bridesmaids and myself were beyond impressed with their quality of work. We all looked great for our pictures even though we were outside for the ceremony. Everyone only had great things to say about our hair and makeup. Thank you guys for helping make my wedding day a success!! read more

I loved Blush Beauty Styling. Christa & her team arrived on-time not only for my bridal preview but also on my wedding day. The makeup & hair service were done in a timely manner. At first, I was worried that with 6 bridesmaids plus my mom we were going to fall behind but everything was done as planned. I loved my mother's hair and makeup, very natural & elegant. The hairstylists were fun to be with & talk to. My bridesmaids had so much fun. They all loved their hair & they all looked fabulous. I am so glad that I did the beauty concierge service, and I would recommend future brides to hire Christa for the beauty concierge service. Although I had my bridesmaids on my wedding day to help me, we still needed additional help and the beauty concierge service was exactly what we needed. I don't think the wedding would've gone as smoothly without it, so thank you SO MUCH, Christa! I am so grateful for your help & service. Christa and her team were also professional. Christa constantly communicated with me throughout the day. She brought water for me and bridesmaids, which was so sweet of her. The wedding day can be a stressful day but they made me more relaxed because of their excellent service. Thank you so much once again! read more

Blush were totally great to work with. I used a friend who is a makeup artist to do my own makeup, but my bridesmaids and the mothers all looked so great who got their hair and makeup done. Alex did my hair, and during the trial session at my hotel a couple of days before the wedding, she was lovely! We tried a couple things, tweaked a couple things, and then she totally recreated it on my day. And I LOVE hair, so it was so great to get it right and feel so comfortable. Mary and Alex were accommodating with everyone in the wedding party, and just did what anyone requested (including a couple extras we had not scheduled in!). They were so chill and calm, which helped us all not stress - yet they were totally professional and on time with the timeline. I think my friends wanted Alex to stay for the party they liked her so much! I've been involved in a lot of weddings, and usually the hair and makeup is just TOO much. These ladies kept it understated, classic, and beautiful. My girls shone at the wedding. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Christa with Blush. Living in California, it was difficult to know how to find a hair/makeup specialist in Hawaii. I booked Christa for 11/24 and 11/25/2014 after reading her excellent reviews. Christa was immediately responsive to my emails and helpful with suggestions (e.g. sending her a Pinterest page of my ideas.) Christa had a lovely personality and was so talented with hair and makeup. (She has a ton of really great make-up.) She worked with my daughter's kinky/curly hair, (which is very difficult,) giving her the long beautiful curls that she wanted. She helped me to achieve the natural hair and makeup look with great eyes that I always wanted, but could never do on my own. She also came to meet me the night before the ceremony for a trial, and then showed up bright and early at 5:00 a.m. to meet me the morning of the ceremony. Even though she left late the night of the trial, she graciously offered to stop by a store on her way home to see if she could find a flower for my hair. She had me ready right on time (actually before time,) and I looked and felt great throughout the day. She took PayPal, which was very convenient. My experience with Christa was truly wonderful, better than I had expected. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others! read more

We travelled to Oahu, HI April 2017 for our destination wedding. We were referred to Blush by our wedding coordinator. I am thrilled to have selected Blush & have absolutely no regrets with this decision. Myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother and step mother all got both our hair & make up done by Blush for my wedding day. Everyone looked & felt amazing. I met with Christa about 11 months prior to our wedding - my first impressions of Christa were how friendly, warm-hearty and caring she was. She was very passionate about what she did and made me feel very comfortable. Throughout our year of wedding planning, Christa was so helpful & checked in with us regularly to see how our wedding planning was going and to offer her assistance. This definitely made a lasting impression. The next time I saw Christa was at my Hair & Make Up trial... Christa did my make up & Alex did my hair. Both ladies made me feel completely pampered & were so caring. They strived to understand exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding day beauty & made sure we were able to achieve this. Alex & Christa were both respectful, easy to work with and super fun. They made the "getting ready" part of our wedding day so much fun. The best part of it all? My bridesmaids, mothers and my hair/make up ALL LASTED all day... through the sweat, tears, dancing, wind, etc... by the end of the day we still looked & felt amazing. For anyone currently planning a wedding... I highly recommend finding someone who makes you feel comfortable and at ease - it will make your wedding day that much better. If you're looking for a punctual, reliable, talented and caring stylist to pamper & beautify you on your wedding day... look no further! Blush truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you SO much Christa & Alex!! read more

At the last minute, I found myself stressing to find a mobile makeup artist to come to my home for a special event. Knowing these appointments are made weeks, months in advance...I assumed my chances were slim. On the advice of the Yelp reviews and impressed with the work displayed on the Blush website, I reached out to Christa. Not only did she respond rather quickly, but she went above and beyond to fit me into her already packed schedule. Her prices were amazing, her communication was excellent and she understood the look I wanted to achieve. You would think fitting me in that she might have been late getting to me, but nope! She was promptly on time, finished on time and I looked amazing. My friends raved about my appearance. Additionally, she followed up to make sure I was happy and the makeup lasted throughout my event. I will give Christa a call for every event, even just a night out. She was friendly and so much fun. Christa......well done my friend. read more
