Christian is a complete Gem! I had a last minute hotel room that was absolutely beautiful, and wanted to take boudoir style photos in it. This was at 5pm on a Friday evening, and if it were to happen, the photoshoot needed to take place at 9am the next morning. I was desperate, and disheartened by the last-minute request, in my search for a make up artist and hair stylist. I daringly contacted Christian, and she immediately responded and was available! To my absolute surprise and happiness! Everything about her was professional and amazing. She showed up bright and early and before me (8am on a Saturday - eww!), and was nothing but smiles. She set up her station, chatted with me about my look, and we were off to the races. My makeup and hair were perfect. She understood how to make me look natural and like myself for the photos. This is a hard balance to strike as I tend to feel like a clown with so much makeup on. I felt so confident that the shoot would go tremendously well, and it did! Her makeup and hair, combined with a friends photography, got my pictures into a fashion magazine! Sadly, the photographer did not include her name in the credits, the credit she really is due! I am attending an event tonight, and have contacted Christian again for her services. She is my go to girl from now on, and I really can't say enough about her. Professional. Kind. Talented. Affordable. And an all around good person. We chatted like old friends and that really makes all the difference when one is getting dolled up for something big. read more

To say Christian is phenomenal, is absolutely an understatement. I've had the pleasure to have worked with her twice. My last time I worked with Christian was on my wedding day, September 3rd, 2017 and she exceeded any expectations I could ever have imagined. She is one of the most responsive professionals I've ever been in contact with, she is always punctual, so warm and friendly, and honestly the most incredibly talented artist! I've never been someone who has EVER been happy getting my hair and make-up done. I expressed this to Christian prior to our first time working together. She listened to my concerns and made me feel so comfortable and confident in what she will accomplish. When she first did my make-up a year ago I remember the feeling of first seeing myself after my make-up was done and all I could think of was, WOW!!! When Christian did my hair and make-up on my wedding day I had the same exact WOW moment! I cannot thank her enough for making me feel so stunning on such a special day. If you are looking for someone on your wedding day, a night out, or just to feel sexy for the day, stop looking and just call Christian!! You are wasting your time searching for anyone else when she is truly the BEST!! I feel so grateful to know her and cannot wait to work with her again!! read more

Christian was my MUA for my wedding and I am so happy I hired her! She communicated with me before the wedding and we discussed the look I wanted, along with my mom and mother in law.

Cynthia here Using my husband's account to leave a review for this amazing MUA! Christian was by far the best makeup person I have ever worked with. My bestie and I were left stranded with no makeup artist 1 month before a big event and we had to find someone last minute. Christian was responsive and so easy to communicate with. The day of the event, she showed up on time, with a beautiful smile and great personality. She was so much fun and such a pleasure to work with. She did my hair and makeup and made me feel like a princess. I seriously didn't recognize myself. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Looking forward to working with Christian again. Don't hesitate ladies, Christian is your MUA!! Book her NOW!! read more

Christina does a superb job at doing makeup. She's super nice and very easygoing. I got to know Christian for my headshots and before my headshots, she contacted me to get to know me and to know what I was looking for in makeup looks. It was truly a pleasure to get my makeup done by Christian. Any photo shoots I have in the near future, I am definitely calling Christian back read more

Christian did my hair and makeup for my friends wedding. My friend and I were looking for someone fairly last minute due to cancellation. I reached out to her through email and got a response within hours. She is very professional and responsive to any questions you may have. She asked ahead of the event what I was looking as far as hair and makeup. On the day of she was so nice and I enjoyed my time with her as she was doing my makeup. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking her for her services in the near future. Look no further...book her today!!! read more

Christian was absolutely the best. After MAC calling and telling me they were short staffed and could not accommodate my appointment and the salon that was recommended by the JW Marriott turned out to be an absolute joke I was in an absolute panic. I called Christian earlier in the AM and she gave me her rates over the phone. I hesitated and thought I would just go with the hotels recommendation... Stupid me! I come back after a 20 minute detour to not having my make up done by that salon and needing some immediate assistance for my black tie event. I texted Christian she said she not only was still available but she could be there within 20 minutes and get my full evening make up done within 30 minutes. Bottom line is you get what you pay for and she was an absolute gem. If I have any other events in the near future I would highly use her again. read more

After 4 trials of different MUAs, Christian was the only MUA who made me up exactly how I wanted to look like: simple elegance. I cannot express how much gratitude for her skill, professionalism, and timeliness. Thanks Christian and you team for everything! read more

Christian is such a positive sweet person and she does amazing makeup. She showed up exactly on time with a smile on her face. I immediately felt relaxed and in good hands. She listens and caters to what you want and delivers! I like more of a natural look and she did my makeup exactly how I wanted it (with patience, because I couldn't decided on a lip color). She helped out with some friends and family and I couldn't be more grateful. My hair and makeup stayed on all day and night. I was so so happy!!! I couldn't have asked for a better artist. Beautiful girl inside and out and very professional. I would definitely recommend her for a special occasion or if you just want to look extra pretty! read more

Had such a fun and wonderful experience with Christian. Not only is she really good at what she does (had faith with out a trial run and she did an Amazing job thank god) but she also had a very delightful and pleasant attitude about everything. Didn't feel stressed out or worried (says a lot coming from being a maid of honor). Would HIGHLY recommend her. read more

It was an absolute pleasure having Christian as my makeup artist for my wedding day. She was very professional and energetic before and during the session. She was able to travel to my location and arrived early to set-up. I was a bit nervous about not having a trial before the wedding but I took a chance and I loved it!!! She was able to get the exact look that I was going for and was great working with my very curly hair. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again. Thank you very much Christian for making me look beautiful on my wedding day! read more

I was really fortunate to get Christian for my headshot photo session. Prior to my shoot, she was very responsive and communicative via phone and text. I felt confident. On the day of my photo shoot, she was on time, meeting me at the shoot location. She came in with a full kit, ready to mix foundation for my skin tone. She asked my preferences about my style of makeup and hair, and got to work right away. It was better than I expected. My skin and hair did not feel overly heavy with product or greasy. Excellent products. She stayed for the whole session of my shoot, doing touch ups, and checking my hair when it got out of place, ensuring that the photos I was taking looked their best. I really appreciated that part. I wasn't able to have a friend come with me to do those little things, so the fact that she stayed and did that (and I didn't know she was going to stay) really meant a lot to me. I would recommend Christian for headshots, weddings, portraits and photoshoots. She's very kind, an excellent chatting partner (I never felt awkward while she was working) and very skilled at her craft. She also made it easy, doing my deposit via Venmo and the remainder in cash. Thank you, Christian! read more

Christian did my make up and hair for my wedding, I absolutely loved it! She did such an amazing job, exactly how I wanted it. Also what I really like about this MUA is she was on time and not rushed, definitely recommend her! read more

Christian did my wedding hair and makeup, as well as my mother's, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. She responds really quickly, was flexible with her appointment times, and came on time and absolutely prepared--including a specialty chair, hair dryer, everything. I sent her some pictures before the hair/makeup trial, and she incorporated my feedback seamlessly as she created a custom look for me. I loved the look during the trial but later had some requests and questions on the actual day of, and she, again, was really responsive and flexible. She clearly knows a lot about makeup and how to work with different skin tones/facial structures etc., but is also attentive and respectful about what you want--a difficult needle to thread. She was also cheerful and easy to talk to, a pleasant presence on the morning of my wedding. Lastly, the makeup never looked obvious or caked on, even though she used a number of products. I'd had my makeup done by someone else for another wedding I was in and found that the pictures of me from that day looked great, but on the actual day I felt gooey and unnatural-looking. The day of my wedding I knew I looked amazing, and got many compliments on my look, but never felt overly made up. I highly recommend her services! read more

I know it is a little late but they are big make up artist. I was attending my first red carpet event and I was very nervous so I got in yelp and found her. I got way more than I was expecting because at the end I looked better than I imagined. I highly recommend it!! She is super professional and she has everything you will need and way more. I just can't wait to repeat this experience. Thank you so much! read more

Christian is incredible. After reviewing literally dozens of reviews for makeup artists/hair stylists in LA, I picked Christian, since the pictures I saw of her work demonstrated a brilliant combination of creativity, skill and restraint, + she responded to my email right away and offered to come to my place to do everything. It didn't hurt that her prices are extremely competitive--I don't think there's a better value out there. I was reassured that I was in good hands as soon as I met Christian--the makeup she'd put on herself looked BEAUTIFUL!--and then she proceeded to exceed my expectations. She is extremely friendly, professional, good to talk to, and TALENTED. She made my blotchy, acne-prone skin look smooth and even, picked a perfect set of lashes for my eyes, and made my hair do things I never dreamed it could do. The look lasted throughout the whole evening, and I got tons of compliments--thank you, Christian! read more

I'm really picky when it comes to makeup but I decided to have Christian do it because I had seen really good reviews. All the other times that other people have done my makeup I've never liked it. But when Christian did my makeup for prom, I actually LOVED it! I told her how I don't like it when my eyebrows end up looking over exaggerated and she filled them in but they still looked natural and nice. She also did my hair and it lasted all night and the curls looked amazing. For once I actually felt like I looked good with makeup. I also got a lot of compliments so that says something :) If I ever have to get ready for another big event I would definitely hire Christian again because she knows what she's doing! If you're hesitating on whether or not you should hire Christian, you should take my word for it and give her a chance because I'm sure you'll be satisfied :) read more

I had the privilege to get my hair and make up done by Christian and her glam squad last sat for my brothers wedding. My mom and I were very satisfied w her.

If I could afford to hire Christian to be my daily Glam Squad I would. I've worked with her for both professional and personal projects and she has always surpassed any expectation I had in mind. We rescheduled my daughter's Senior Portraits twice, in order to have her come do her hair and make up. Her work is flawless, whether it be for costume or beauty. Besides being a true professional, she also a very sweet and friendly person. While in her chair you feel like you are sitting with an old friend catching up. She is always on time, prepared, and comes ready to work. She doesn't leave until you, the client, is 100% in love with your look. read more

I can't say enough about our pleasant experience with Christian. To start, no one can beat the prices for the amount of work you are going to get with Christian. She was on time, had the most professional makeup set you can possibly imagine. She is very pleasant to work with, went way over expected time with no problems and no extra money, and the work my wife and I got was beyond what we asked for. She listens to what your needs are and will give you the result that will shock you. I can't say enough oh how satisfied we were as customers but I guess the picture that I will post will do justice. I already have booked her for my next year's Halloween makeup, can't wait.... read more

Wow! I can't say how glad I am that I hired Christian to do my bridal makeup. Finding a great wedding makeup artist that would give me a glam look while still looking like myself was a nightmare. I had a few bridal trials with other makeup artists that left disappointed but when I had my makeup trial with Christian I was very satisfied. She listened to all my concerns and paid attention to detail. She made sure we achieved the perfect look for me. The day of the wedding, Christian and her hair assistant arrived on time and ready to work! Everyone in my bridal party was very very pleased with the outcome. Even though she had another bridal appointment after mine, she was able to squeeze in my youngest sister and grandma at the last minute without hesistation. They both had great attitudes! Made my wedding day start very smoothly. I highly recommend Christian!!! read more

Christian is the most responsive, friendly, and talented make-up professional that I have ever met. I am an attorney and received an award at a black-tie gala this past Saturday. I had been busy all week and didn't have plans for hair and makeup. I woke-up Saturday morning at 8am, did a Yelp search, saw her five-star review, and gave her a call. She was at my house at 10:30am sharp! I showed her my dress, explained the nature of the event, and told her I rarely ever wore makeup. She had a plan for me within seconds. I felt incredibly beautiful and my hair and makeup lasted all night. Christian will be my only go-to girl for hair and makeup from now on. read more

My mom and I went down to LA for my cousin's wedding and I tried to book a hair and makeup artist during the weeks leading up the the wedding. A few days before the wedding, the makeup artist I was coordinating with said he couldn't do it and I scrambled to find a replacement. Christian was beyond amazing. She responded to me within an hour of contacting her and said that she could do hair and makeup for my mom and I. I sent over photos beforehand and everything was so easy and simple. Christian meet us at our hotel room and was so understanding and sweet when our flight was delayed and we were an hour late. Even though we were late, Christian still managed to finish our hair and makeup on time and she did an AMAZING job!! My mom and I absolutely loved our hair and makeup. I'm so grateful to now have a go to makeup artist in LA. Don't hesitate to book Christian, not only are her makeup and hair skills excellent, but she's super professional and reliable. read more
