We hired Bridal MUAH for bridal and bridal party hair and makeup, and we could not have been…read morehappier. One thing that set them apart right away: they let me book a trial before committing to the full package, which several other artists wouldn't do. That flexibility made the decision easy. On the day, they worked beautifully across a wide range of hair types and skin tones -- everyone came out looking flawless. They never once made us feel like a bother when we came back with small tweaks. They just kept adjusting until each person felt gorgeous. Warm, patient, and genuinely talented. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, Taylor and her team of hair stylists and makeup artists were simply incredible. The experience began with my MUAH preview two months before the wedding (see attached photo), where Taylor made me feel so comfortable and confident. She listened carefully to my vision and offered expert recommendations that perfectly enhanced my ideas. Beyond her amazing talent, Taylor is such a kind, calming, and FUN presence--a true gem to work with. On the big day, Taylor and her team seamlessly handled hair and makeup services for myself and 9 other women. Our group was wonderfully diverse in skin tone, age, and individual preferences, and they managed to make everyone feel stunning. I was initially nervous about finding a vendor who could accommodate our needs, but Taylor assured me her team had it covered, and they absolutely delivered. If you're looking for a glam squad that is not only skilled but also warm, professional, and efficient, Bridal MUAH is the team for you. My wedding morning was smooth, stress-free, and filled with joy--and I owe so much of that to Taylor and her incredible team.

This review is long overdue but I wanted to make sure I had pictures to back up this awesome woman…read more I want to first say Lucy you are one of the best humans on this planet. From start to finish you are just amazing. Alright here goes my review. Like most of you I was looking for the perfect make-up artist, which is not as easy as you think. I actually had settled on someone but I wasn't 100% sold - since your wedding day is the day you are to look you best I decided to invest in one last search for "the one". So glad I did, because I came across Lucy. I met with Lucy for a trial which was awesome - I got to know her, she got to know me and we clicked. On top of that when she was done with my trial I knew this was the chicka to put the finishing pieces on my wedding day. If you are looking for someone that knows what they are doing, has a passion for beauty and is a wonderful person to have on the most important day in your life - you want Lucy. Not only did Lucy make me look amazing - she did my 2 sisters + my mom all in time for me to walk - truly amazing. I had so much fun laughing and hanging out while we all got our make up done - making jokes and taking each moment in. I wish I could re-live my wedding day again and again. I hope this review does your work justice - if not I will post a few pictures that will speak more than 1000 words. Lucy from the bottom of my heart - I thank you! Love, Very happy 11.12.13 Bride

I was less than two months away from my wedding and had not yet booked a makeup artist. The one I…read morehad initially found through Wedding Wire was making me feel uneasy and worried as to whether or not she'd show up on my wedding day (she did not email me contract information for a week past when she told me she would because she'd thrown her back out...how was I supposed to feel confident that she'd be healthy on my big day if she couldn't even send an email??) I was stressing out big time that I hadn't found someone, so I contacted my fabulous wedding coordinator (see my review for Eventful Days - Jill Guiomar), and she recommended Lucy-Zayne. I feel so incredibly grateful to the makeup artist who made me feel uneasy, because if all of that hadn't happened, I never would have found Lucy!! Lucy was quick to respond to my voicemail inquiry, and we set up a makeup trial shortly after the call. The trial went wonderfully, and Lucy was so easy to talk to. She'd asked me for photos before the trial of my dress, my earrings, how I was planning to do my hair, and also examples of makeup styles I was going for. She executed the look I wanted perfectly during the trial, and I had the utmost confidence in her on my wedding day! Her prices were extremely reasonable as well (especially for the Bay Area which can be outrageous). Communication with Lucy was fantastic throughout the weeks leading up to my wedding. She even emailed me to let me know she was going to be out of town for a wedding a little before my wedding, so she might be hard to get a hold of on her travel days. Anyone who has gotten married knows there is nothing like great communication and setting expectations when it comes to wedding vendors! Lucy was one of the best communicators I had among all my vendors. Lucy showed up to the hotel right on time the morning of my wedding. She got two and 1/2 of my bridesmaids (one just got lashes and a little unexpected, but appreciated overall makeup touch up), my mom, our two flower girls and me done with time to spare! Everyone looked beautiful!!! My mom and bridesmaids really enjoyed talking with Lucy while they were in her chair, and they were all really happy with their makeup. Lucy gave everyone touch up makeup kits to take with us so we could keep our makeup looking fabulous throughout the day and night. I can't tell you how many compliments I received throughout my wedding about my makeup, and they keep coming in from people who weren't at the wedding but have seen pictures. No one can tell that I only had around 3 hours of sleep the night before because of Lucy's magic! I am so thankful Jill recommended Lucy-Zayne to me, and I highly recommend her to any bride who is looking for a great makeup artist!

I had a great overall experience working with Raman Brar and her team for my wedding weekend, and…read moreI'm happy to leave a 5-star review because I truly loved my hair and makeup overall. My makeup looked beautiful throughout all of my events. On the morning of my wedding, my mascara did run after a few hours during our first ceremony. We decided not to use mascara for my second ceremony that evening, and everything held up perfectly. I don't necessarily blame Raman for this since everyone's skin is different, but if you have oilier eyelids like I do, it's something worth discussing during your trial or before your wedding day. My hair was one of my favorite parts of my looks, especially for our Sangeet. I have very thin hair, and Raman and her team did a wonderful job incorporating the extensions I purchased to create fullness and volume. My Sangeet hairstyle was my favorite of the weekend! My final hairstyle wasn't quite as full as I had envisioned, especially since we had discussed my hair's thinness beforehand, but overall I was very happy with all of my bridal looks. There are just a couple of things I'd recommend future brides keep in mind when planning their timeline. For my wedding morning, we started my bridal hair and makeup on time at 5:00 a.m , but we still ended up running behind my scheduled ready time. Later that day, before my second ceremony, Raman also arrived later than expected, so we had to move through my makeup a little more quickly. Wedding weekends can be unpredictable, and I know timing doesn't always go exactly as planned, but I'd recommend building in a little extra buffer time if your schedule is tight. We also had Raman's team do hair and makeup for my immediate family. We had originally expected each appointment to take around 45 minutes to an hour, but some took over two hours, which unfortunately caused a few family members to miss important photos. Raman explained that part of the delay was because some people arrived with wet hair that needed to be dried first, so I'd definitely recommend making sure everyone's hair is fully dry before their appointment. I also think having a little flexibility in the order of appointments when some people are ready earlier could help keep the overall timeline moving smoothly. Because the morning ran longer than expected, my family decided to skip their scheduled touch-ups before our second ceremony because they were worried about falling behind again. We still paid for the touch-up services since the artists had reserved that time, but it was unfortunate that we didn't end up taking advantage of them. Overall, though, Raman is incredibly talented, and I truly loved how I looked throughout my wedding weekend. She was also very receptive when I shared my experience afterward, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Raman to future brides, especially if you build a little extra time into your schedule. Her work speaks for itself, and I felt beautiful on one of the most important weekends of my life.

As mentioned I couldn't be on the phone because it was crunch time logistically, as I was handling so many logistics for my brother's event. Still I was texting Raman. After Raman agreed to hold the MUA until 5pm at 1:28pm, she said she Jassi wasn't available at 1:41pm. -------------------------------------------- I want to warn people about this vendor. I hired her for my wedding in 2024 and there were several things that she fell short on: 1. She forgot bobby pins to do my hair...on my wedding. She was my hired makeup and hair artist. So on the day of my wedding when its supposed to be a calm time, unfortunately I had to scramble to go and grab pins from my aunts home. 2. She let me know she would bring fresh flowers for my hair on my wedding day, she also forgot those on the day of my wedding. 3. She placed my small/medium tikka on my head, but unfortunately she did not secure it in a manner that a professional would. On my actual wedding day, when I was bending down to matha tek, my tikka popped off-- which was very embarrassing. 4. She was confused about where we were meeting on the day of my jaggo and for some reason thought that I would be coming to her in Livermore, even though my event was in Merced and we had already discussed that she would be coming to Merced. She was able to make arrangements to come to Merced, but it added additional stress. 5. She talked about herself throughout my hair and makeup, boasting about herself and complimenting herself 6. She asked me why do we need to start so early for hair and makeup on the day of my wedding, and then she herself made me 30 min+ late on the day of my wedding. The redeeming quality about her work is that she is able to work well on brown south asian skin, her skin makeup was soft and dewy (though my eyes were smudged before I even got to my ceremony...which is not normal for me). I am a person that really cares about skin with makeup so against my better judgment, I decided to hire her for myself and my mother for my brother's engagement. This was booked months in advance. Fast forward to May 2026, I get a call from Raman less than 24 hours before the booking. She tells me that her mother-in-law is not well so she won't be able to make it. Then she says she does have a "senior" artist who can replace her. I tell her I'm sorry to hear about the situation with her mother-in-law, I ask her who the senior artist is. She says her name is Jassi.... I asked her what her last name is and Raman said she didn't know. I then asked her if she has an Instagram and then she also said she does not have an Instagram or anywhere that I could see her portfolio. I told her I needed some time to think about it and Raman sent me some pictures that she claimed to be Jassi with no last name's work. (It gets worse) At so late in the game, I was already handling so many logistics for my brother's ceremony. I asked Raman to give me until five to get back to her. She obliged, though she was putting pressure on me stating that "Jassi" wanted to confirm ASAP because she was considering another client. I asked Raman to give me Jassi's contact information, and Raman said that it was too late because Jassi has already booked with another client due to "Jassi" not feeling comfortable because I didnt "trust her." All screenshots are attached. this happened within a matter of 20 minutes, so it's safe to say this is suspicious at best and a blatant lie at worst. Raman's contract states that she will provide a "senior" makeup artist in her absence, she wasn't even able to follow through on that. I took a look at Raman's social media, and I found what happened in reality is that Raman ACTUALLY booked a bride on the day of my event. So her mother-in-law was not ill, Raman actually just wanted to go with the booking that had more pay. I have attached the screenshots below of her working with the other client, multiple vendors also posted her working with the client on the day of my brother's engagement. That being said, I would be weary of this vendor. She is unprofessional and a liar, and no level of artistry can redeem that. The worst part of it all, is she charges luxury prices-- 1100 was what she charged 2 years ago for hair and makeup. Whats the point of charging luxury prices if you dont even have bare minimum professionalism and character? She is the type of person that gives MUA a bad reputation.

When I found out my MUA was no longer offering hair services for my wedding, I was stressed…read morescrambling to find someone last minute. Luckily, I booked a trial with Jessica, the team lead at THE PURE make up, and loved how she did my hair based on the reference photos I brought. Unfortunately, Jessica was already booked for my wedding day, but she assigned two of her best stylists to handle my hair as well as my mom's and four bridesmaids. The stylists were both professional and friendly, and made everyone look beautiful. That said, some of the bridesmaids' hairstyles started falling out when we arrived at the venue, and I wish the stylists had taken extra care to secure their styles better. THE PURE make up came highly recommended through friends and their networks who had also finished wedding planning, so I had high hopes. Overall, a positive experience given the circumstances. I would recommend more for their makeup services (i.e., natural, Korean style) over their hair services.

She'll make your skin look perfect which is the most important part of k-beauty. I've been following IG: thepuremakeup_official for awhile ever since i saw my friend's hair and makeup at her wedding which was done by Jessica at THE PURE makeup. What I learned about her via IG is how she's always on top of the beauty trend, and she's always willing to learn by even flying to Korea to get lessons. I knew i had to get my hair and makeup done by her as I was looking into more natural style than having my face look cakey with bunch of contouring style. As soon as my wedding date was decided I reached out to Jessica to secure the date. I signed up for the luxury wedding package which included bridesmaids makeup on top of my makeup and 2hrs (?) of stay & retouch since i knew i was going to cry a lot lol Jessica was so easy to work with, and most importantly she did a phenomenal job. Everyone was complimenting on my makeup for looking so natural but also how my skin was glowing and overall makeup was not too overbearing. I'm really surprised to see some negative reviews here, and I'm wondering if they were looking for more intense makeup such as face contouring makeup. You just need to look for a new person if that's you. You can't complain about her work when you have a completely different style. It's like you shopping at Nike to look for heels, and complaining why they only have sneakers.

To start off, she spent so much time with me for the trial (more than planned), making sure we had a chance to try a couple different things without any rush, which was so helpful. On my actual wedding day I loved everything she did, and my new husband said I looked like a movie star! I liked the trial looks when we did them, and Tiffany genuinely listened and understood what I wanted to tweak. When the big day came and we had the details set from the beginning, everything came out looking even better. She specializes in a natural-but-enhanced look and really nailed it - I didn't feel or look like I was caked in makeup, I just looked like the absolute best version of myself! Trying to find pictures to include here I struggled to find ones that seemed like they were showing off the makeup - but that's kind of the point. The makeup wasn't super showy (exactly as I wanted), it just made me look really great in every picture! And this is from someone who often doesn't like pictures of myself. The other artists she brought for our officiant and moms (both in the pictures I'm including) also did a great job. They handled mature skin, thick/unruly hair, and curls beautifully. I've never seen my mom's shoulder length curly hair look so good! They were also great company all morning, which is so important.

My experience with this makeup artist was extremely disappointing. Throughout the trial session,…read moreshe kept checking her watch, which made me feel rushed. The final result was nothing like what I expected, and I was extremely unsatisfied. When I politely expressed that I didn't like the makeup look, she got visibly frustrated, placing her arm on her waist in an unprofessional manner. Any requests for adjustments were met with reluctance and annoyance. After deciding that I didn't want her to do my makeup but would still proceed with her services for my other family members, she canceled the contract herself. While she's technically not obligated to return the retainer fee, she told me she would -- but never did. That lack of follow-through was very disappointing and unprofessional. Also, be aware that her contract does not allow cancellations due to dissatisfaction within 60 days of your event, so if you're considering a trial, make sure to do it well in advance. I would not recommend her based on this experience.
