She also did my maid of honor's hair, and we were obsessed with it all night, and her curls stayed perfectly in place throughout the entire day! My makeup lasted as well! Kori's style is truly "you, but better." My makeup looked flawless, natural, and almost airbrushed. She listened carefully to exactly what each of us wanted and brought our vision to life. She was incredibly professional, arrived right on time, and came fully prepared with her kit. I can't recommend her enough for any special event. She made all of us feel confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of from start to finish.

Highly recommend booking the bridal package with preview and with touch ups on day of until 1pm!!…read moreKori is AMAZING. A true artist and also so warm, comforting, friendly, fun and calm. After our preview- I felt so comfortable to let Kori know what tweaks I wanted. I ended up choosing a different hairstyle from what we trialed and it was better than imagined. So convenient to have her just work on me and then help with touch ups especially after the first look and for family portraits which we did before she had to leave at 1pm. Makeup and hair lasted all day long and I cried a TON! Of course I had to do some touch ups but the glowy base remained all day long. Thank you so much, Kori! Highly recommend investing in and trusting in Kori for your special events

Stunning!!! Crystal did an amazing job with my makeup and hair for an event. I mentioned the look I…read morewas going for and she nailed it. She is great at color matching (she explained why certain colors don't work for me) and very intentional about making sure the look lasts the night without feeling heavy. I also loved my hair and was so happy with the full result. Besides her talent, she is also very kind and approachable and makes you feel so comfortable. Cannot wait to book her again for my next event! 10/10 would recommend.

DISCLAIMER - This is from a makeup trial in 2020 and wedding in 2021…read more It took me time to get the courage to write this review, because Crystal seems like such a sweet person. However, I don't want anyone else to have an experience similar to mine. First off, I think her makeup skills are amazing and loved her makeup work. She took into consideration my photographer's editing style and how the makeup would show up in the photos. She's also a bubbly person that was very easy to talk to. Makeup Trial in 2020: Makeup turned out great in the photos. It took me a bit to get comfortable with how it looked in person, because I wasn't used to wearing much makeup, but she talked me through everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The makeup still looked great at the end of the night though too - and this is after doing an ocean-side photoshoot. The cons: - She ran 5-10 minutes behind schedule and the trial ended up taking longer than expected due to struggles with my hair; so I had to rush to make it to my engagement shoot. However, I did appreciate how Crystal still took the time to listen and try to correct things. - My hair - I wanted a half up, half down w/ curls hairstyle. In a call beforehand, I had explained to her how my hair has a difficult time keeping curls and that I usually can only get a hold with a straightener. I can't remember if she used a curling wand or a curling iron, but the curls were already falling flat during the trial. By the time of the photo shoot, my hair was lightly wavy. By the end, it got pretty flat. She did offer a discounted retrial to try another technique to see if my hair would hold better. I didn't end up doing a retrial since I had to reschedule my wedding. (Rescheduled) Wedding Day in 2021: I had booked Crystal for makeup for my wedding for myself and my mom. The days beforehand, she mentioned how she was getting vaccinated. Skip forward to the morning of my wedding. I wake up a little over 2 hours before our appointment time, and I notice a text from Crystal that was sent less than 6 hours before our appointment. She says she's so sorry, she's been having chills and nausea and that she's unsure if she can cover and she's reached out to her immediate artists. I don't hear from her again until 1.5 hours before our appointment, she confirms that none of her artists have reached back out to her yet. I'm not sure, but it seems that she became symptomatic because of the vaccination. At that time, it was known that people get side effects from vaccinations, so I thought it was unprofessional to schedule a vaccination right before a booking. It also did not help that Crystal was unable to find a replacement. It was such a stressful morning... In the end, luckily my friend found someone else available to do my makeup and my mom went to a salon.

Marie and the Luna Bella Beauty team were an absolute dream come true for my wedding day…read morepreparations. Marie and her assistant PD are skilled and talented makeup and hair artists, and they made me, my mother, and my best friends/bridesmaids feel so beautiful and loved on my wedding day this past Saturday in San Diego. They were super professional, punctual, and so much fun to hang out with for the hours of makeup and hair prep before the wedding. We all loved our hair and makeup, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire night, even after we got off the dance floor! We received so many compliments throughout the entire night too! I really appreciate all the personalized details they put into each girl's hair and makeup, and I especially appreciate them for being so accommodating to also fix my cousin's makeup as well - she absolutely loved her look and it means so much to me that you were able to help her at the last minute. They also did makeup for my husband (the groom), and it looked so natural and his skin looked flawless for all the photos. Thank you Marie and Luna Bella Beauty team for your artistry and for being a part of our special day! I give my highest recommendations for your hair and makeup styling services!

She was so easy to talk to, and it was a delight to spend my wedding morning with her. We had 7 people getting hair and makeup done, and I didn't want us to have to start too early, so she brought along two other artists, PD and Cherry, who were just as amazing. I cannot recommend Marie enough!

Her pricing, for the quality of work she does and the quality of products she uses, is extremely reasonable. I had such a great experience with Hannah, that she will now be my go-to makeup/hair stylist whenever I have a special occasion or photo shoot. Hannah is very flexible - you can go to her studio in Laguna Beach (with free parking) to get glammed up, or she will happily go to you or your venue. I decided to meet her at her studio and it's such a charming, cute studio! She has all the proper lighting to ensure your makeup matches your skin tone. I spent about 2 hours with Hannah. I showed her some past photos of myself with professional makeup on from past events, showed her what I liked and also showed her photos of the dress that I was going to wear. She is really easy to talk to - she's really friendly! The time just flew by. Hannah uses Chanel facial products (expensive!) and I was delighted to see at how natural and beautiful Hannah made me look for my photo shoot. I LOVED my makeup! The smoky eyes and strip lashes looked incredible. My makeup stayed on all day. Our photographer was impressed with my makeup and all our friends and family who saw our photos also complimented how pretty I looked. Hannah is an amazing MUAH artist - you will NOT be disappointed booking her for your next event!!! I recommend her 10 fold!!

She does an incredible job with both hair and makeup and is super creative. We played around with different braids, up do's, long waves and more for my trial, engagement photos, bridal shower, rehearsal and my wedding day. She was able to do something different and equally stunning each time. She is so sweet and easy to spend time with, makes you laugh and feel so comfortable with the whole process and is flexible with trying something new and adding or changing things of your final look. She and a team member worked on me, my MOH and MOB for the wedding day and her other team members did my mother and sister in laws. Everyone looked gorgeous all day and night and our makeup and hair lasted so well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to get done up for their wedding or any celebration.
