At this point, they both know my face so well that I would be grateful if either of them are available for my next special occasion! I have half hooded eyes so it's hard to find someone that understands my facial features, but I trust Emily and Amy completely. They always make me feel beautiful, confident, and classy. In addition, they're always responsive and communicative and I am always at ease knowing that this team will be taking care of my hair and make up. Both Amy and Emily are so easy to talk to, they're personable but professional. Eternally grateful to have found them, they're my go to make up artists!

This business deserves 0 stars…read more My experience with Emily & Michelle (the studio manager) was similar to the other 1 star reviews you will see on this page. They were by far the most unprofessional and disrespectful vendor I encountered during all of my wedding research. The biggest pain point was unresponsiveness which was consistently bad from day 1. It was silence for days despite multiple follow ups, even when we got to the month of the wedding. Whenever I did receive an overdue response, they were unapologetic and I might even say rude. Because of the concerns with communication, my planner kept trying to dissuade me from hiring Emily and I held out until the very last moment hoping to find another HMU artist. However, we were close to my wedding date and even with my planner's help, I wasn't able to find an alternative. So I reluctantly signed the contract a few days before the wedding and transferred a $1600 deposit. That's when I came across the reviews on this page about the no shows. That was the (much delayed) final straw, and coincidentally a HMU artist I had reached out to months prior reached out to say she was available for my wedding. So I notified Emily that evening asking if she would consider refunding any part of my deposit. Granted, she has no legal obligation to do so but it had been less than 24 hrs since I had sent her the deposit (in other words, less than 24 hrs that she held my wedding date which means no lost business for her). No response from her. She kept my $1600. Even with forfeiting the deposit, I decided to switch my HMU artist and 1000% believe I made the right decision. If I hadn't, I would have continued to stress about whether she would show up on my wedding day, and even if she had, I'm not sure how the experience would have gone. For example, if I wanted an adjustment to my hair or make up, would she have been accommodating? Shame on me for ever signing with Emily against my better judgement! I never write reviews but felt compelled to share this experience. I don't recommend her for any future brides.

She has kept up with trendy and classic styles and paired those with her elegant craft, bar none. Beyond her real skill to transform you into a more polished, beautiful you, she is a great conversationalist and listener, which helps put you at ease (especially for big events like weddings!). Sarah comes on time, tries out different styles and applies cool techniques, and you will be very fortunate to have crossed paths and work with her. Really wish she could style my hair & makeup every day!

Princess Sarah is an expert in hair, makeup, and skin care! Since I've met Princess Sarah, I now see her once a month for facials and not only did she do a wonderful job on my engagement makeup and hair, she is also doing my makeup for my wedding! A few things to note about her service. First, she's awesome! She works with your schedule and thinks about things you might not think about. Second, she does research on the look you want. She doesn't just have one style of hair or makeup, she will do whatever it takes to achieve the look that you want. So if you show her pictures of what you want she will achieve it. But she also will recommend what is best for you. She's extremely good at looking at someone and identifying their best features and then making the best features stand out. Princess Sarah is truly a great person with a good heart. Even if you're not looking for hair and makeup for an event, go see her for skin care! My skin looks even better now that I've been seeing her. My pores have gotten significantly smaller too!!! She is amazing!!! I've added photos from my engagement photo session where Princess Sarah did my hair and makeup.

I booked Jessie for my wedding this year to do hair and makeup. She and her team had worked on me…read morea few years ago for my brother's wedding, so I already knew that she was good. She is very talented, listens to you, and manages to make you look like a glammed up version of yourself for the big day. She has several packages to choose from, and she offers trials as well. I sent her links to my pinterest page, and she was able to get the look I was going for. I was a little concerned that the hair and makeup may not last until the wee hours of the night, but they did! So well in fact, that I had panda eyes when I tried to wash everything off, haha. Throughout the day, I had to re-touch the undereye with q-tips and YSL touch eclat, but that's pretty par for the course. The hair looked as good at the end of the night as it did in the morning for the first look. I'll attach a photo during one of the wardrobe changes, which shows my hair around 8 hours later. She gets back to you in a reasonable of time, is responsible and shows up punctually (I had a 6 am start, so this was important), and most importantly, is really good at what she does. Bonus that she was able to help lace up my corset and get me into my dress. She's a pro at veils and explaining to your party how to swap the veil for the comb as well. Plus, she's really nice and pleasant, which is helpful when you're stressed out. She packs a touch up kit for you, which has trial/deluxe products that you may need, which was a lovely bonus. Anyway, I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hair and MUA!

I texted Jessie for her availability and she replied in 16 minutes. I'm big on promptness, so I'm glad to say she made a positive first impression. I sent her photos from her portfolio to get a quote. Reasonably, she provided a range because it depends on how much hair she's working with. Few days before our appointment, she reminded me to shampoo my hair and condition the ends - not the scalp. Love the instructions! Come the day of our appointment: I asked her to come to my home for a small travel fee, and she arrives on time. So considerate that she parked on the curb instead of the driveway! She strikes up a great conversation with my mother ; I'm more of a listener than a talker - haha! Jessie finishes my updo within an hour and I love it. It's exactly what I asked for. I appreciate that she used more Bobby pins than hairspray, so washing my hair won't be as difficult later. She hid the Bobby pins incredibly well. She brought all the materials, though I recommend you provide the extension cord, power strip, and mirror if you ask her to come to your home. Thank you, Jessie! Highly recommended. I'll reach out to you for my wedding :)

I scheduled a trial and met her in San Jose at her studio a few weeks before my wedding. I showed her some photo inspiration and she brought my vision to life! What I appreciate most about Hanh is that she is receptive to feedback and constantly checked in to ensure I was happy with everything. She calls herself a perfectionist and was so attuned to all the little details - from choosing the right lashes for my face to ensuring every piece of hair was sitting perfectly. On my wedding day, she met me at my hotel and came prepared with all her makeup and equipment. She was fast and efficient, finishing everything within 2 hours. I've never worked with a HMUA who cared so much about her clients and the quality of her work. I felt so beautiful and glamorous during my wedding - and my hair and makeup remained perfect throughout the night despite all the sweating and dancing! If you're looking for a HMUA who cares about the details, truly listens to you, and brings your vision to life, Hanh is the person to go to. Thank you so much for being a huge part of my successful wedding, Hanh!

THANK YOU, Stacie!

Summary: I am so lucky that my mother found Stacie for my wedding!…read more Here is why: 1) Technically, Stacie did an AMAZING job! My make-up, and the make-up of my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law looked absolutely perfect: everyone looked beautiful and special without being too 'done up' and 'wedding-y.' She has true vision: she was able to take what we asked for and make it even better than we could have imagined. The hairstylist she brought with her (Jo) was also perfect! 2) The make-up and hair looked good ALL NIGHT!! I even looked good at the hotel bar AFTER the wedding! 3) Stacie was able to adapt to changing circumstances. Technical skills are great, but if you can't get the job done in time, it is for naught. Stacie and Jo arrived at the hotel over 30 minutes early (because they know how important the big day is, and they didn't want to be late if they got lost) and they got started right away. Timing wise, they had planned everything perfectly. However, there were some bumps in the road from my wedding party on the big day: one person who had adamantly said that she did not want make-up decided that she did indeed want make-up, and then numerous people showed up with wet hair. Not only did they STILL manage to get everyone done on time, both Stacie and Jo were such good sports about the whole thing. 4) The pricing was extremely fair: if anything, it was a bit of a steal given how great of a job they did and how wonderful they were to work with. 5) Stacie (and Jo) are just lovely women. Before meeting them, I wasn't thrilled at the prospect of having to do a trial hair and make-up run, but I actually had SO MUCH FUN with them!! And having them around when we were getting ready for the wedding just made everything better: they were just lots of fun and put everyone at ease. EVERYONE in the bridal party commented about how much they loved Stacie and Jo. I have had my hair and make-up done before, but I have never had such a good experience. Not only did my hair and make-up look better than they ever had before, but I had so much fun with the process because Stacie and Jo are so great! Book Stacie: you won't regret it!!
