Cindy is great! She did my makeup for my wedding and I got nothing but compliments. I didn't know…read moreexactly what I wanted, but I showed her a couple of photos I liked from Pinterest and she created a look that I loved. The makeup also stayed in all day (the only thing I retouched was my lipstick), and it looked great in the photos. In addition, she did my eyebrows and lashes, both things were great. Cindy is also wonderful at assessing your skin's needs and recommending a skincare regimen. The location is also nice and relaxing--it was such a welcome break when I went there a couple of days before my wedding to get my eyebrows done. Bonus: Cindy was also nice enough to do my mother's makeup for the wedding. As many of us know, mothers can be a little stressed before weddings, and Cindy was nice enough to meet with my mom when she arrived in town, put together a look for her, and do her makeup on the day of the wedding. I would highly recommend Cindy, whether you are looking for skincare services or makeup for a special event.

I was both extremely anxious and excited to get my hair done once restrictions were lifted.

They have done a great job mandating protocols and keeping everyone safe. From cleaning surfaces to taking temperatures to face mask usage to limiting people entering. (Be prepared to wait in your car.) It was a weird experience, but I left feeling like a million bucks.

Mary Freitag is a makeup artist who used to work for me. I want clients to know that she is using…read moreimages that she does not own to promote her business and misrepresent her photography. Almost ever image on her website was photographed at my studio under my guidance using the exact lighting and posing setups that I created. Mary stopped working for me 2 months ago and we had no hard feelings at the time. She told me she was moving to Texas for her dancing. Perhaps she did move to Texas for dancing too but it is clear that she moved away from CA to start her own photography business as well. I think she didn't stay in LA because she planned to steal the work of other photographers and was already burn bridges with many LA photographers and makeup artists. Mary verbally and legally agreed to never use the images that we taken at my studio yet she still has them on her site. I want her potential clients to know this because they 1. They have a right to know Mary's business practices and 2. A photographer or any artist should use work which is theirs. I only found out about this because a few other photographers called me and were pissed that she had taken down the photography credits on her makeup site. They believed that this was done to mislead people into thinking that she had done the photography which was present on her makeup site. My only hope is that this warns potential clients before shooting with Mary Freitag and Light and Shine Photography.

Mary is fantastic! I…read morecontacted Mary about a headshot session for TV, film, & commercial. From my first inquiry she was quick to respond and answered all my questions. She took the time to get to know what I needed and told me all about her usual process. We got to shoot in a studio in North Hollywood (not her usual studio) which was quite a treat. Lots of light, great A/C, music, restroom for changing, racks for wardrobe, hair and makeup station, all the backdrops/props/lighting accoutrement we needed. When I got there we went through my wardrobe and worked out our shots. She made suggestions but was sure to incorporate my ideas and opinions. After making out final decisions she organized the wardrobe, hair and makeup to make the shoot flow smoothly from one look to the next. Coming from a hair and makeup background I was confident that she would not only make me up beautifully but also be able to touch up between shots and fix stray hairs etc. Something that I've not had the luxury of in previous shoots. Throughout the shoot she got things set up quickly and was so easy going it made sitting for the photos a relaxing and fun experience. With her direction and the atmosphere she created I was able to get a great variety of shots and expressions which was my ultimate goal. Overall I had a great time on our shoot and would recommend Light & Shine Photography to anyone out there looking for a knowledgable, efficient, and personable experience.

They both take time and do not rush through their work. The quality of the stylists is outstanding and the atmosphere is very positive and lively with good music. This is important if you require a 3 hour appointment as I do. Tim and Allie are both very receptive to ideas and positively encouraging change. When my daughter wanted a pixie cut and 2 stylists at our previous salon wouldn't do it and tried to talk her out of it, we decided to try Buzz. Tim was so excited to work through this style change with her and it made her very confident about this choice. The prices are a bit higher than some other local salons, but I will not go anywhere else. You get what you pay for - both in the services and the beautiful, wonderful experience.
