Working with her in person was also a joy. She is not only incredibly talented, but also warm, gentle, and so cool! Sitting in her chair on my wedding day was a very welcome reprieve from the hectic wedding-day buzz. I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day. Julie nailed the balance between natural and glam for a bride who rarely wears makeup, and both my hair and makeup stayed in place all day and night. Thank you, Julie!!!

I'm in my 50s, was stuck in a makeup rut (same-same for years) and asked for a special occasion tutorial, plus a refresh on my work and weekend looks. I'm about to retire & wanted to treat myself to a glow-up. Julie was easy to schedule with - she came to my home w/ her tools of trade but intentionally used my own makeup as much as possible, while recommending products & brushes to fill the gaps. No upselling and most of her recommendations were very affordable. Her approach was gentle, open-minded & respectful of the fact that I wanted a natural yet elevated look. She did half of my face and walked me through doing the other half. Her teaching style was great - she made suggestions instead of imposing rules. It felt safe. After the session, she sent me a detailed step-by-step guide, complete with hyperlinks to every product used. I bought most of what she suggested and have been super happy w/ it all. I've incorporated several of her techniques that are simple but impactful. Julie gave me the confidence boost I needed to put my best face forward :)

I…read moreknew I didn't want to have my family and bridesmaids to have an early morning so I worked with Amanda months leading up to the wedding to create a schedule with 4 stylists - hair & makeup for 9 people (ages ranging from 2 to 99!!). Everyone was professional, creative, calm and FUN - exactly what a bride needs! My hair and makeup trial was truly one of the best days during wedding planning. I felt comfortable to voice any small changes and we worked together to make my perfect look come to life. So I knew I was in great hands for the wedding day itself. Amanda's creativity, talent and dedication to brides is evident. I would recommend her to any bride. I'm so grateful to have had her and the team as part of our wedding team.

I showed her a picture of the style, and she exceeded my expectations in bringing it to life. The make-up trial and hair updo were great. Even though I asked her to adjust some changes, Amanda applied all the changes that I wanted for the wedding day. She helped me try different styles, gave advice, and made adjustments whenever I asked. She is also very responsive and very warm and friendly. For the wedding day, She was very professional. This was a really great experience for me and I would recommend Amanda to all my friends and everyone who needs makeup and hairstylist. She is talented and very experienced. I wanted a very natural and elegant look and she did a great job every step of the way. My hair and makeup were both flawless. Thank you so much to Amanda for her wonderful taste.

If I can give them more than 5 I definitely would. Annie did an amazing job from start to finish…read more From the trial, Annie listened to what I wanted. On the day of my wedding, Annie transformed me into a beautiful bride. I had so many compliments from our guests and she even waited until after the ceremony to change my headpiece that she let me borrowed.

Annie is also very sweet, considerate and kind.

I failed to read one thing in the contract about her commuting fee, but Maria was understanding and we worked it out. She did a fantastic job with my mom's makeup for her 90th birthday party, and my mom looked gorgeous and party ready. My mom never wears makeup and was worried about having heavy makeup, but Maria gave her a natural and pretty look with appropriate lashes that made her look amazing. Maria is also very kind and patient, which made the session go smoothly. It was fun to see my mom's transformation. I highly recommend Maria's makeup services for any occasion!

There are two main components I think are important to emphasize about her work- her makeup skills, and her energy. Regarding makeup - our initial trial was thorough and very detailed. Maria was willing to work through all my likes/dislikes, answer all my and my moms questions about the process. I was adamant that even though I was putting together an Indian wedding with heavy outfits, I wanted all my makeup looks to be as natural and timeless as possible with elements of fun. Maria delivered on all of these requests, which included numerous rounds of trying different eyelash strips/lipstick colors/eyeliner shades and texting inspo pics and was always helpful and patient. I was so bummed I had to wash my face at the end of both days I had my makeup done by her! Regarding energy- Maria brought fun, lighthearted and genuine vibes that my entire family and I appreciated. Maria's ability to both keep light conversations while maintaining awareness of sensitive moments was such a gift that truly helped me enjoy the moment instead of being caught up in details. No questions about it, book Maria!!

YES, she did my hair and makeup for prom and senior portraits and then again for a few nights out during college. For lashes, I've been getting my extensions done with Minia since 2018. My skin/face is typically really sensitive and Minia's been the only makeup/lash artist I've trusted. She is always so gentle, professional and informative, ensuring that I am comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire process. She's also super patient with all my needs/asks and always goes over and beyond. I love my lash sessions with her, it truly feels like I'm hanging out and chatting with my bestie! Her space is very comfy and tidy, which always reassures me. She plays any kind of music you want and is always very welcoming and warm. Here is the most recent lash set I got on 1/23. It's been a week now and my lashes still look so good! I literally can't stop staring at myself LOL If you're looking for a trusted, high-quality, relaxing makeup and/or lash experience, book with Minia NOW. I drive from San Jose to San Francisco every 3-4 weeks for my fills, so that alone says a lot!

I booked Charlene as my hair and make up artist for my wedding in October 2022 and I must say that…read moreI am overwhelmingly impressed with her! As someone who does not do heavy make up on a daily basis, I was looking to have a natural look for my wedding - so that my groom, friends and family would recognize me. Charlene does just that by highlighting your natural beauty, making you look like a better version of yourself. A few weeks before my wedding day, I decided that I wanted to make some minor changes in my "look" so that I could look perfect on my big day. I emailed Charlene and discussed what changes I wanted to make and we set up a second trial which would be 2 days before my wedding day. During that trial, she NAILED the look I was going for and I felt super confident going into my wedding day! On the day of my wedding, Charlene went above and beyond what I expected of her. She and her assistant helped my whole bridal party look beautiful. Charlene made me look EVEN BETTER than I did on my first and second trial! My face was glowing and I thought I looked like an Instagram filter (lol) but it was all Charlene's beautiful make up! My favorite thing about Charlene was that besides doing my hair and make up, she assisted in a lot of other tasks during the morning of my big day. She helped me put my necklace on (see picture), carried my and the bridesmaids jackets while we were out getting photos taken, got water for me, helped me get seated in a chair while wearing my dress (this is very difficult!!), etc. all while she continuously touched up everyone's hair and make up! I had 3 bridesmaids, and Charlene was essentially like a 4th one. I could instantly tell that Charlene only had one objective in mind, and that was to make sure I was very very very happy. And indeed I was. Thank you so much Charlene for making my day so memorable! You are truly a superstar!

Before our makeup lessons, Shana reviewed the makeup and tools I already had, and gave me a list of makeup options to get the look I wanted and where to get them! We met over zoom for our hair and makeup lessons and I was able to record myself going through the steps. Shana gave me so much amazing advice from managing my hair in the heat, to applying eyelashes, and which parts of the eye shadow palette to use for various looks. Being able to have the video with me while I was getting ready at dawn with every step made everything feel seamless instead of stressful. I've never felt more confident doing my makeup. Waking up at 4:45am and being ready to go at 6am felt crazy, and I was so happy I knew exactly what I was doing and what to pack for touch ups. It was so wonderful knowing I had everything I needed.

I'm not a big makeup person, so when I was searching for the right makeup artist for my wedding…read moreday, I wanted someone who could create a natural look that enhanced my features without making me feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup. My wedding planner recommended Vivian, and from our very first conversation, I knew she was the perfect fit. She immediately understood the look I was going for and knew I wanted to look like the best version of myself--not like I had stepped out of MAC. Before my trial, I sent Vivian several inspiration photos, and when she completed my hair and makeup, it was exactly what I had envisioned. She listened carefully to my preferences and executed everything flawlessly. Vivian also did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and offered thoughtful suggestions on how to make that look distinct from my wedding-day look while still feeling true to my style. On both occasions, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. On the wedding day, Vivian and her team made not only me but my entire bridal party look absolutely stunning. Everyone was thrilled with how they looked, and we received countless compliments throughout the day and evening. If you're looking for a hair and makeup artist who listens to your vision, enhances your natural beauty, and helps you feel confident and comfortable on your wedding day, I cannot recommend Vivian and her team highly enough.
