Amazing wedding hair and makeup team! They were professional, organized, and really listened to what I wanted - a natural but beautiful wedding look. Kirsten was so easy to work with and timely with all communication. On the day, everything ran smoothly - Kiana and Flor created such a calm, fun atmosphere and they were the best to work with. I loved my final look and it lasted all day, and everyone in the bridal party looked beautiful. Highly recommend! read more

Devotion Studio made my wedding day perfect. They listened to exactly what I wanted and did not overdo it on the makeup. They communicated with me clearly and were on it from before the wedding to day of. I felt like myself but more enhanced! I was nervous about how to do my natural curly hair with some extensions and it turned our perfect. They were SO supportive and groudning during all the anxious pre-wedding moments and made me feel like a beautiful fairy, which I wanted. Thanks so much to Kristen, Nicole, and the team! read more

Thank you so much to Devotion Studio for making both the trial and wedding day so easy and stress-free! Kirsten (hair) and Sandy (makeup) were absolutely incredible. I don't wear much makeup normally and really wanted to look like myself -- and Sandy nailed the perfect, subtle, natural look that lasted all night. Kirsten gave me the most beautiful Hollywood waves that held up perfectly through dancing and happy tears! I got so many compliments, and my bridesmaids all loved their looks too. You truly helped make the day feel effortless and unforgettable! read more

Devotion Studio did hair and makeup for myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding and they did a fabulous job! Our makeup and hair held super well despite high winds and lots of happy tears.

Would recommend Devotion Studio for anyone getting married in the Sonoma/Marin County region. read more

Highly recommend booking Devotion Studio. From the time of inquiry and booking to my trial to my actual wedding day, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Both my hair and makeup artist remembered the few notes and tweaks we had discussed months before during the trial and then nailed the final look on my wedding. The team is professional, friendly and talented! Plus, they were one of the more affordable options in the area. read more

It was such a pleasure to work with Kirsten for my wedding hair. She is so knowledgeable, helpful, skilled, patient, etc! I was a pretty anxious bride, and she was so kind to me. On the wedding day I was a jumble of nerves and she was wonderful to help calm me down. Her hair styles were so stunning and everything I wanted! On my trial I wanted bouncier curls on my wedding day and she delivered on those changes! Her work ethic is incredibly admirable too. For my trial, she was going through a loss in her family, and she still showed up for me. It was an honor to work with Kirsten on my wedding day! She made my bridal party and Mom look so beautiful!! read more

I hired Devotion Studio to do my wedding day make up in Mendocino, CA and highly recommend! Kirsten was very quick to respond to questions and communications, we had a lot of flexibility with the details/logistics leading up, and most importantly, Chryel our makeup artist was fantastic! I do not wear make up normally so was looking for someone who could give me a natural look, and Chyrel delivered. I did a trial with her and had some feedback on changes for the actual day (I appreciated how much she emphasized for me to be honest)... and I couldn't have been happier with the final result on my wedding day! Our moms and sisters also got their make up done and everyone looked beautiful without being overly made up. read more

I had the incredible pleasure of having Kirsten as my wedding hair and makeup artist.I have naturally curly hair, and she worked absolute magic, creating a stunning hairstyle that perfectly suited my personality and the overall wedding theme. What's even more impressive is that she did this without preview - she's just that good! Kirsten also has a remarkable talent for achieving a glamorous yet natural makeup look. I wanted to look and feel like the best version of myself on my special day, and she exceeded all my expectations. Beyond her exceptional talent, Kirsten's personal touch made my wedding day even more special. When I got a little upset about the flower arrangements, she went above and beyond, assuming it was related to her hair and makeup work. She immediately checked in with me, ensuring that I was feeling okay and offering her support. Her genuine care and thoughtfulness helped me regain my serenity on a day that meant so much to me. Kirsten is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a wonderful human being. I also need to extend my gratitude to Adeline who did my Mom and sister`s hair. Adeline's dedication was truly remarkable. She was pregnant, but that didn't stop her from working her magic. My mom had never had an updo before, and Adeline patiently and skillfully transformed her hair into something absolutely beautiful. She was incredibly creative, using a hairpiece to create a style that was not only comfortable and secure but also exquisitely chic. This team`s professionalism, kindness, and extraordinary talent left a lasting impression on all of us. They truly made our day even more special, and we are immensely grateful for their hard work and dedication. I can't recommend them enough for anyone in need of a top-tier wedding hair and makeup artist. They deserves all the stars! Thank you, Kirsten and Adeline, for making our day absolutely perfect. Kirsten graced my wedding day with her magic touch, a true delight, My natural curls, she wove into a bridal vision, pure and bright, A stunning hairstyle, a reflection of my soul's delight, With no preview, she painted my dreams in the softest light. Her makeup artistry, a dance of glam and grace, I wished to be the best version of myself, in every face, Kirsten's brush was poetry, and I felt her embrace, She surpassed all my hopes, like a gentle, guiding trace. Beyond her talents, her heart's warmth took flight, When flowers whispered sorrow, she embraced the night, She checked in, held my tears, like a guiding star so right, In her care, I found serenity, in the gentlest moonlight. Kirsten, an artist, a wonderful soul in every way, And Adeline, with a baby on the way, made our day, Her hands transformed my mom, who'd never had an updo, they say, With a hairpiece, she wove comfort and chic, in an elegant ballet. Their professionalism, kindness, a memory to stay, In their extraordinary talent, we found our way, They made our day brighter, with each sun's ray, Grateful hearts shower stars, in a beautiful array. Kirsten and Adeline, our gratitude knows no bounds, For making our day perfect, with joy that resounds, In the world of beauty, where every heart surrounds, They deserve all the stars, for the love that knows no mounds. read more

I had the best experience with the Devotion team for my hair and makeup for my wedding this September. I had a large group which included 7 bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, 2 aunts, and my grandmother who all got both hair and makeup done. They prepared with 2 makeup artists, and 2 hair stylists to get the job done by 1:00pm. They were efficient, quick, while still making us all feel pampered all morning. They were professional, but also personable which I appreciate. Tamara and Nicole F. did our hair and everyone's hair turned out amazing and held up all night during the wedding. Nicole P and Taylor did our makeup and my favorite thing about Devotion is how they create a natural glam look! I mean it when I say they were quick and without losing quality! I got the honor of having my hair done by Tamara. We had trialed my hair one way and then I wanted a few minor changes done before we started the morning of my wedding and she was so flexible and delivered my vision perfectly! Taylor did my makeup and I LOVED how it turned out. I felt beautiful but still like myself which was so important since I don't wear a ton of makeup day to day. Taylor also was so patient and kind with me when I was starting to stress and feel nervous. I was thankful for that. I highly recommend Devotion Studio for all your hair and makeup needs. read more

Amazing experience with Devotion Studio from start to finish! Kirsten did our hair and Sandy makeup and everyone at the wedding kept complementing how great us ladies looked!! Every look was executed flawlessly and lasted all night. I searched far and wide for someone willing to travel to Mendocino AND familiar with East Asian features. From the trial, both Kirsten and Sandy made me feel so comfortable and confident in their abilities, I was so relaxed and had so much fun with them the day of! They arrived early, were super communicative from booking to day of, and were so professional and flexible when we had last minute changes. Thank you Kirsten and Sandy for being a part of our perfect day! read more

I was so lucky to have Kirsten and her team do hair for my wedding day in Santa Rosa. Communication with Kirsten was excellent. She replied quickly and answered any questions I had. Sara was our hairstylist day-of, and she arrived punctually (the drive up to the venue is rougher than most) and did my bridal hair, my mom's hair, my sister's hair, and my best friend's hair within the time allotted. She did a fantastic job and everyone loved how they looked. I'll definitely come back if I ever have any special occasions again in the Sonoma area. Thank you, Kirsten and Sara! read more

Highly recommend Devotion Studio and Kirsten's team for wedding hair & make-up! All 5 bridesmaids, my mom & I loved out looks for the wedding day! They were easy to work with, took specific requests for different hair types (curly, thick, straight) and were so flexible. I loved everything about working with them and would hire them again immediately. They were the best! read more

Devotion Studio nailed the prompt! Kirsten was easy to work with to get everything setup, and our four stylists (Nicole P, Nicole F, Sara & Natale) dolled everyone up in all the right ways! Hair and makeup lasted well over 12 hours and didn't feel caked on or over the top. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

I got married on 7/20/2024 at Russian River Vineyards, and had a wonderful experience with Devotion Studio! Myself and four bridesmaids got our hair and makeup done by Sara and Chyrel, and everyone felt beautiful for the wedding. Kirsten's communication was reliable and professional. I would definitely recommend Devotion Studio to anyone! read more

The team at Devotion Studio did an amazing job on hair and makeup for our wedding! Tamra did hair and Natale did makeup for me, my sisters, niece, mom, and mother-in-law for our micro-wedding on the Sonoma Coast. Tamra listened carefully to what each of us wanted for our hair and completely delivered. After my preview makeup appointment I decided I wanted a more "natural" look and Natale did an incredible job making my vision a reality. In addition, both Tamara and Natale were such a pleasure to chat with on the wedding morning - they brought a fun, relaxed energy that perfectly suited our small family wedding. I would absolutely hire Devotion Studio again - they were a dream to work with! read more

Devotion Studio did my bridal hair and makeup for my outdoor summer wedding on Sonoma Mountain. I wanted something that felt glowing and natural and not heavily made-up, and they hit the nail on the head. My hair, in particular, was one of the most beautiful parts of the day--a lush fishtail braid with maidenhair ferns and flowers woven into it. It looked like a hanging garden. And it held up through lots of dancing and twirling! read more

Kristin was absolutely wonderful! So thorough and really brought my hair and makeup dreams to light! She's amazing and I highly recommend!!

I hired Devotion Studio to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. My stylist was Addie. She did my trial, day of, and all my bridesmaids. She was incredible! She really took the time to get my hair and makeup just right during the trial, and it took some trial and error! Then the day of it went so smoothly. She remembered everything we had done. During the trial, there were a few makeup items that I didn't like or didn't match my skin tone, like foundation and lipstick. Addie recommended I get matched at Sephora and bring my own. I'm so glad I did that because then I could touch up things throughout the day. Everyone was very pleased with the services we got. Addie is also just a joy to be around. Highly recommend! read more

Since my wedding, Kirsten has been doing my hair every few months. I look forward to my appointments not just for the amazing hair, but for the conversations. Kirsten is such a warm and kind person and it makes the experience that more amazing. I always leave feeling beautiful and like I've had a much needed conversation with a friend.

Talented, hardworking, honest, professional, clean, courtesy, capable, trustworthy...in short everything you want in a stylist

I chose Devotion Studio for hair and make for my wedding day and couldn't have been happier! I first reached out to Kirsten regarding getting things set up and she was so very accommodating to my needs. Originally I was only going to have one artist do hair and makeup and then after a little more planning realized that I had enough ladies involved that it would be better to have 2 artists. She was able to make this happen and it was never a big issue that I needed to make some changes. I scheduled a preview appointment for my bridal hair and makeup where I was able to meet with the artists for my big day! Shalice was my makeup artist and Adeline was my hair stylist. I arrived to my preview appointment only having a vague idea of what I actually wanted and a few inspiration photos to share with them. Both ladies were so extremely easy to work with and there was never any time rush, it was very clear that it was all about making sure I was happy with the results and they would take the time needed to make that happen! I showed a few inspiration photos to Adeline about how I wanted my hair and she gave a few little suggestions on what she could do. I told her that sounded great and to just do what she thought would look best with those few things that I was looking for. After my hair was completed I had a few minor changes that I wanted to make, but was absolutely loving the overall style and it felt so very secure and in place. I continued to wear my hair the rest of the day and it never once felt like it was going to move or be out of place. I thought of a few more minor adjustments I wanted to make to how it looked for the wedding day and was able to text Adeline with those requests no problem! When it came to my makeup, I wasn't totally feeling like myself at the completion of it, but I just kind of assumed it was mostly because I wasn't used to seeing myself with that much makeup on. As the day went I just couldn't stay loving it, something about it was just a little off from what I envisioned for my big day. I texted Shalice and let her know the parts that I just didn't feel were right for me, sent a few more inspiration photos of what I felt would make it better for me and we quickly were able adjust the plans for the big day. She truly wanted to make sure that I would be happy and absolutely love my makeup for my wedding day. It was no problem at all that I decided on changes well after leaving the salon. I kept in contact with Kirsten regarding exactly how many people I needed services for, the location I was going to be getting ready at and what time we needed to start everything the morning of. Along with letting me know exactly how she wanted the payments broken up for the day of. On my big day Shalice and Adeline arrived to the hotel room bright and early ready to go! Each of my girls came ready with some inspiration pics to share and were so very happy with the results! Shalice even gave each girl a little goodie bag with a lip color touchup, a tray for their false lashes and some of applicators that were used on them. When it came time for me to have my hair and makeup done every little change that I had requested came out absolutely perfect!! I could not have been happier and this time I actually felt like myself which was the part that just wasn't quite there after my preview appointment. These ladies helped make feel my absolute best on such an important day in my life! Thank you again so much!!! read more

We got married in the Redwoods of Occidental in the Grove. Choosing to work with Devotion Studio was perfect for the location being that they are local, out of Sebastopol and I had seen Kirsten's work through her Facebook page and online portfolio. The ease and comfort I felt working with Kirsten overall was successful. She found me a stylist, Xoie who I jived with almost immediately upon meeting, and as well as a hair stylist and makeup artist to work with my bridal party. TRIAL RUN: Kirsten was kind enough to offer me a trial run with Xoie which worked out perfectly. Xoie spent a lot of time getting to know me, understand my style, and perfect my look. My hair came out unbelievable and my makeup was long-lasting. She made me feel beautiful, while also keeping things "me" and comfortable. WEDDING DAY: The stylists were professional, easy going, and kept me calm. I had comfort with the fact that this team had done weddings at our venue before.They were professional and efficient with the time we had to get ready and the amount of people to style. The timeline Kirsten gave me for time needed to ensure everyone was ready on time was spot on. Each member of my bridal party looked beautiful. The makeup varied with each person's individual requests and the makeup artist took her time discussing what each person felt comfortable wearing. The detail Chyrel gave to each person was wonderful. I loved how each person looked.They were made up but still looked like them. It brought me so much relief seeing how comfortable each person was throughout the whole process. My mom looked stunning, which was big for me. For all the time and work she put into my big day, I was pleased to see how pleased she was with her look. Cheryl also worked on my teenage sister, listening to her requests, while also keeping in mind that I wanted a more natural look for her. The hair stylist Nicole kept the overall look I described to her, while also allowing lots of variation for my party to wear. I loved how each person looked different while also maintaining a similar style. Each style was flattering to that individual and lasted throughout the ceremony and reception. Her humor also kept the mood light and fun. There were definitely a few moments where I myself was feeling nervous, and both she and Chyrel kept the things light and calm, assuring me that all was working out smoothly. They also kept me distracted with small talk. Having not met Chyrel nor Nicole prior to that day, it was great working with them. They also worked well with both my mother and mother-in-law without changing their natural styles too much. Which like any bride, you're worrying about these two people and hoping that they are happy with their looks. BRIDAL HAIR AND MAKEUP: My hair and makeup went quickly and I didn't even have to think about it because I had done a trial run. Xoie kept me pretty calm during the whole process and worked quickly to make sure I was ready for my photos. She matched my hair and makeup pretty on spot with the trial run. My makeup really popped in the photos taken later on and my hair felt good. The end product of my hair and makeup worked beautifully with my wedding dress. Whatever she did to my hair also kept it looking great within the environment and weather at the Grove. I enjoyed working with her because she made me feel comfortable and confident because of her confidence with working with me. ALL were huge pros in my opinion with finding a stylist! Overall, Devotion studio's stylists were professional and amazing. It's clear when you meet them that they have been doing this for a long time. They all come off confident and have a way of meshing with their clients. I would definitely recommend hiring stylists from this studio for your big day. Not to mention they did 8 of us total in under two hours. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to my big day and for making myself and my bridal party feel flawlessly elegant and beautiful. Megan Chais read more

Kirsten made me look so beautiful on my wedding day. She was so nice, kind, and professional as well. I am very picky when it comes to my hair, and she created the exact look I wanted (old Hollywood type waves with hairpiece). She will be honest with you about what she feels comfortable with (a lot) and what she will ask a colleague to do if she thinks they will carryout the look better. I mean... that's integrity for you! I hope I have another event so I can hire Devotion Studio again!! read more

Highly recommend Devotion Studio! Extremely professional, well organized, excellent service. Best of all, love every haircut!!

Kirsten was AMAZING! I highly recommend her! I hired Devotion Studio for hair and make up for myself and 3 of my bridesmaids. I was in communication with Kirsten over emails for the months leading up to my hair trial for ideas - what would work, what wouldn't. She was always prompt and made me feel at ease. I had a hair trial with Kirsten about 3 weeks before my wedding day, which was so worth it. At that point I had an idea of what I wanted, or so I thought! Kirsten asked so many more questions to confirm what I wanted, which I had never thought of. This only made it so much easier the morning of the wedding. I did not do a make up trial, as I like pretty minimal and natural looking makeup. On the morning of the wedding Kristen, Heather, and Chyrel arrived on time to my hotel suite. They were easy to work with and got us out in time. I loved my hair and make up and got so many compliments. My hair stayed put the whole day even in the 80 degree Santa Rosa warm weather! If you want a team that gets the job done and done well hire Devotion Studio! read more

Kirsten is fantastic! She did an amazing job with my bridal hair as well as my bridesmaids and my mom. She is very detail oriented, patient, takes a personalized approach to each person's hair and look, and wants to make sure everyone loves their hair and it's just perfect - which it was, and we did! :) She also has a fantastic personality and was great to have her hanging out with us girls as we were getting ready! Cheryl did our makeup and she was equally impressive! My maid of honor and I do not normally wear a lot of makeup so she helped us come up with makeup design that was very flattering and didn't feel like too much for us. She is very patient, talented and I would definitely take a makeup class from her! Also a pleasure to be around and great personality. Highly recommend this team! They are great! read more

Kirsten is ridiculously amazing!! My daughter and I were stuck last minute ahead of our bat mitzvah party. So glad she was able to take us in. She gave us some awesome ideas and told my daughter to choose anything at all online. She delivered perfectly! Love that she uses high end products (pureology) and that she could accommodate us at her studio (I think she also does on site visits) in such a soothing and relaxed environment. For the person that reviewed and claimed that her studio was not on par with your expectations - not sure what you were expecting. So glad I didn't listen to you :) This is not a spa - it's a cute studio of a local business, and a well deserving one at that. Thanks, Kirstin! We will absolutely be back! read more

Kirsten and Chyrel are amazing!!!! I am a wedding planner and have worked with this team many times before so it was no question who I would go to when it came time for me to be the Bride! Kirsten was great at responding to all of my annoying emails and questions and laying everything out for me clearly. When I did my first trial they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I used that trial for my engagement shoot day and my hair stayed all day (a miracle)!!! In the end I decided I wanted to do an up-do for my wedding so Kirsten squeezed me in with both of our busy schedules and came in early on a Saturday to give me my second trial. On the day of the wedding they made me and all my girls feel doted on and listened to! They were kind, professional, and friendly and I cannot wait to work with them again! I HIGHLY recommend Devotion Studio, book them now! Like right now, don't delay!! read more
