Maritza did both my wedding make up and hair and crushed both! My make up was the medium-glam and it was the perfect feel. Not too heavy but definitely more than my day to day. She highlighted my natural colors with neutral tones. My hair looked BEAUTIFUL. She worked with my natural curls and was exactly what I wanted. Both my make up and hair stayed perfect the entire night even with the beach, wind, sweat from dancing, etc. definitely recommend! read more

Initially, I approached her at the last minute to request hair and makeup for my sister-in-law's wedding, for myself. A few days after we drafted our contract, I asked if we could add five more people to the list for hair and makeup. She is kind to take us all. On the day of hair and makeup, there was a blackout. She was ready to do my hair and makeup regardless of the outage. Luckily, the lights went on right before we were about to start. I will definitely hire her again. read more

I was searching for a combined hair and makeup artist through instagram for my Valentine's Day civil ceremony. Saw Maritza's beauty page and fell in love with her abilities. First booked a makeup bridal trial for my engagement shoot. Mari was extremely professional and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. It was my first time getting makeup done professionally so it put me at ease getting to know her before hand. Then day of my civil ceremony we started bright and early at 4 am. She arrived in a timely manner and set up her tools then got to work. Again taking note of her easy going personality we were chit chatting. My family starts the hustle and bustle of getting ready but she was locked in to prepping me for my big day. First she fixed up my hair, I had expressed concerns that in my personal experience curling my hair never really worked due to the length and thickness. She kindly reassured me that my hair was actually perfect for the look I was going for. Might I note the curls managed to stay till the next day so needless to say I was amazed! Next was the makeup for the day. Mari had mentioned that she's glamming me up a bit more than what was done in the bridal trial. I had no idea what that meant cause the makeup then was gorgeous. But when I got to see the finished look, my jaw was literally on the floor. It was absolutely stunning, I truly haven't felt that beautiful in a long time! Overall Mari is a true artist. You can tell she loves her craft and I think that makes a world a difference. Thank you for making me comfortable during this whole experience! Looking forward to working with you again! read more

Maritza provided a quick response to my last minute search for hair and makeup for 2, as wedding guests in San Diego from out of town. I was so relieved! She was able to travel to our location for an additional fee. I loved that she had 3 tiered service levels for both make up and hair; some other bridal HMU services were a single highest tiered price. We chose soft glam make up and medium glam hairstyles, which was a half-up hairstyle. Maritza is passionate about her work, has 23 years of experience in the business, and it shows. She was kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I would choose her again if needed. read more

Maritza is absolutely exceptional! When I was almost ready to give up on finding a HMUA for my last-minute graduation photoshoot--especially since my appointment was on Memorial Day--Maritza came through for me without hesitation. Her responsiveness is impressive, she replies immediately, making the entire process smooth and stress-free! :) Her service left such a great impression on me that I decided to book another spontaneous appointment for my actual graduation day. Once again, Maritza accommodated me effortlessly. Her dedication to her clients, combined with her professionalism and skill, is truly amazing! I can't recommend her highly enough to anyone in need of a reliable, talented HMUA. She exceeded all my expectations and made my special moments even more memorable. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with her services! read more

Maritza is so amazing and efficient! I love that she has packages that include makeup, wardrobe, and photos. My makeup was flawless! Literally did not want to wash my face. When we finally got to the shoot I was already feeling myself and so comfortable! It is IMPOSSIBLE to feel uncomfortable with Maritza. The guidance she gave was amazing. I am not the most photogenic (idk what to do with myself lol) and you'd never know it looking at my photos. Her vibe is impeccable! I'll definitely cal her for more photos! read more

I was on the hunt looking for a hair and makeup artist for a family photoshoot we had. Yelp helped me out, and I was pointed in this direction with Maritza. I was impressed with the photos she had on her yelp page and her Instagram, so I decided to reach out. Maritza responded quickly and I was glad she was available for the date I needed. My main concern was not wanting to feel like the makeup was really heavy on me. She did a great job on both hair and makeup. She paid attention to my inspiration photo I provided as well as providing suggestions and feedback along the way. She's so friendly and professional as well, I felt really comfortable being able to tell her my thoughts along the way. The makeup and hair also lasted the entire day, even though I only needed it for the morning. Thank you for making me feel beautiful Maritza! read more

Maritza has done my hair and makeup 4 times now. Once for my best friends wedding, once for a photo shoot, once for my bridal shower, and for my wedding. After the first time I knew I was going to hire her for my wedding. Every time she manages to make me look insanely beautiful without making me look like someone else. She's so much fun and a great conversationalist during the whole thing. She becomes more of a friend than a stylist. I could not recommend a better stylist for any event. My photographer even said if she was on the east coast he'd use her for his shoots. read more

I've had the pleasure of having Maritza do my makeup on multiple occasions now, and each time is wonderful. She always listens to your wants/needs and makes you look and feel your best. During my trial, she patiently worked with me on finding the best color(s) to match our natural beach wedding. On our wedding day, M. was prompt, efficient and light-hearted making the morning that much more fun. She was able to do makeup (that lasted all night) for myself, both mothers, and 6 bridesmaids with time to spare, nailing the light and ethereal look we all wanted, while giving each of us our own "pop." I highly recommend M. for so many reasons - professional, talented, intelligent, prompt, flexible, efficient, super fun, and more! read more

I had the most wonderful experience with Maritza. Hired her to do my hair and make up for my elopement. I'm not a very big girly girly and didn't want anything drastic but wanted to feel special on my special day. She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. Not only were her hair and make up skills on point, but she was so much fun to hang out with while I was getting ready. If I ever need hair and make up again, she will be my go to person. read more

Maritza is UH-MAZING. She did the hair and makeup for my engagement photos, wedding mendhi event and wedding day. All night at mendhi, people were telling me "You are a goddess" and "this is the best makeup I've ever seen." The extension color matched perfectly too. She's also so fun and chill to work with, very responsive, always arrives on time, brings everything she needs, and makes it so easy as a client. Maritza won't let you down!! read more

Hair, makeup, and photos done for my tiny courthouse wedding all at an affordable price with a last minute booking.

The hair and makeup appointment itself was fun, and she went above and beyond to ensure I had QUICK access to the beautiful photos she took of my special day.

I booked a photo shoot which included make up and hair, and everything turned out amazing! My make up was done flawlessly, I absolutely loved it. Hair was a more simple half up do, but looked so great and natural. The photo shoot was a borduoir shoot and she made everything very comfortable and done very professionally. She had outfit options if I needed and I had brought a few of my own as well. It was a warm morning but still worked out super well and my make up lasted amazing through the heat. Definitely highly recommend for a photo shoot option and make up and hair! read more

I had my first photo shoot with Maritza back in January of this year. I saw boudoir pics of my friend that she took and knew right away that I wanted her to be my photographer too. The communication with her was so easy. She answered all questions I had before our session, and she would reply so quickly all the time. The makeup and hair were amazing. Later that day, I was running errands and then had dinner with my friends, and my makeup and hair still looked so great at the end of the day. As for the session itself, we had one hour to shoot, and it was more than enough. I was able to wear all of my 4 outfits, and Maritza took so many great pictures! It was so difficult to choose which ones I wanted to be edited cause I loved them all! If you are looking for a great photographer, go with Maritza. She is amazing and it is way she will make you feel during your photo session :) read more

MARI IS SO AMAZING! I have had her not only do my makeup for my mom's wedding, but my boudoir photos and also my own personal wedding. She did four women for my mom's wedding including my mother and catered to their needs of age. She did my hair and makeup for my boudoir shoot as well. Mari ended up doing makeup for 8 bridesmaids and myself for my wedding. She traveled from our hotel to the actual venue site to make sure there was enough time for everyone. Each girl in my bridal party was completely different in shapes/styles/and looks but somehow she made everyone look absolutely elegant. Her personality is the topper on the cake. She is amazing and so professional. She genuinely cares about her clients and makes sure every single person is happy. PLEASE use Mari for any of your hair and makeup needs. You will love anything she does for you! read more

Maritza is an absolute gem! We collaborated on a Photoshoot which included her doing my makeup for. I came to her residence to get my makeup done. Right off the rip, she made me feel comfortable and made sure I was. She has a very obedient family of dogs who weren't a bother at all! I love dogs! I loved what she did to my face. We carpooled to the shoot location, where we had a ton of fun at the spooky acclaimed Faze Rug Tunnel (even though I was scared lol). She is fast on photo editing & thorough about it especially knowing why she does what she does! To this day she has done my makeup twice, and every time is a look I love. Thank you Maritza! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I had my makeup done for graduation and I was so incredibly disappointed and upset. So much so that I very seriously considered taking all of it off and just doing it myself and would have, if I had time. The makeup used is all very low end drugstore makeup. So I paid almost $100 for my makeup to be done by Maybelline, LA Girl, Makeup Revolution. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with those brands but not used by a makeup artist at almost $100. I was never once asked what kind of skin I have, primer wasn't even used. What kind of MUA doesn't use primer? As you can see from the pictures my skin looked absolutely awful. I did my entire skin care routine as I was told to make sure my skin was prepped and it was wiped away right away my eye makeup was done. I have large pores on my nose and cheeks, some texture, and dark circles. The dark circles literally had ZERO makeup on them. So everything else had makeup but you could see my dark circles very clearly and it looked very bad -- almost as if I were sick and had sunken in eyes. My pores were not primed or smoothed so they were very visible. And due to the low end products used, my skin became very oily, very quickly. Also, the makeup was not done within a business but in an apartment with lots of dogs, horrible lighting (which is essential for makeup application), and piss pads everywhere. I also felt rushed because she had a client right after me. When I told her I wasn't happy with my skin I was told she "wouldn't feel right filling in my pores" Did not know doing a good thorough job was an ethical dilemma. I wish I would have done my own makeup because it would have been 100x better than this. I'm not from San Diego but my graduation was there so I couldn't ask around about good MUAs. I relied solely on Yelp. I really wish I had gone with someone else. My face looked awful that day and now my pictures look bad as well. This is what I'll see and remember when I look back on a day I worked so incredibly hard for. PS. She will make comments about your race to you. Which is highly unprofessional. So watch out for that read more

Maritza did my makeup for a wedding I was attending & she was awesome! I normally don't wear makeup so when I booked with her I was nervous that the make up would be too heavy for me. She met me outside, when I sat in her chair she asked about my skin and my past experiences with make up. I told her I didn't want anything to heavy. She told me what she was going to do step by step and would have me look in the mirror to let her know if there was anything I wanted changed, which I appreciated. The end result, I felt absolutely beautiful & would 100% get my make up done by Maritza again!! read more

She did wonders with my young daughter and my fiancé for our photoshoot. I'm a simple man and I don't know know much about this stuff but my partner does and she sung high praises about this company which is rare from her.

Maritza really came through for me on my wedding day. After my makeup artist had a last minute cancellation due to Covid, Maritza was able to step in and do my bridal makeup. Her work was absolutely stunning! Due to the last minute booking, we were unable to do a makeup trial, but Maritza really listened to what I wanted in a makeup and considered the photos from my prior trials. The end product was STUNNING! I received so many compliments on my makeup, but more importantly, her work was exactly what I had requested. My makeup was flawless and lasted through a 13-hour day. I will absolutely be using Maritza for any special event I may have! read more

I reached out to Mari after my best friend had photos done by her and they were gorgeous. I needed branding photos for my new business & she did not disappoint. She was very responsive from the first point of contact until I had all my photos in hand. She did my makeup, gave me suggestions on poses & made me feel so beautiful. And all of this was needed because I've never been one to love taking photos & she has me now believing in the power of photos. She has given me a love for being in front of the camera.
