Couldn't be happier asking Crystal to do hair and makeup for our wedding! She listened to what my…read morehusband and I wanted, and did makeup and hair for both of us. We liked the overall look; it was exactly what we wanted. She arrived at 5:30am since we wanted to be ready by 8, and was super friendly and energetic, despite the early start. She was also flexible and was able to do my mother's makeup as a last minute request. She gave me a little sample of the lip product, after I mentioned that I looked for it, but it was sold out. It was a very kind gesture to help make our day a little smoother.

Crystal did a fantastic job on my wedding makeup! I don't normally wear makeup (I had not worn…read moremakeup once in the 3+ years that I had been with my fiance), so at first, I was a little concerned about looking like "someone else" on my wedding day. I did a makeup trial for our engagement photo session a few months before the wedding, and Crystal created a natural look that accentuated my best features. Crystal was able to replicate the same look for the wedding. I received many compliments on my makeup in the engagement photos and on my wedding day. Thank you, Crystal! In addition to being a top-notch makeup artist, Crystal was a pleasure to work with -- she was responsive to emails and flexible with scheduling (about a week before the wedding, I realized that it would be better if she could start at 9 am on our wedding day instead of the previously agreed upon 10:30 am, and she was able to accommodate the change). Also, Crystal's good taste in music may not seem particularly relevant in this situation, but the music she streamed during the trial and wedding makeup sessions helped create a cheerful and celebratory mood, which helped me relax. I am hoping that one of my friends will get engaged soon SO that I could recommend Crystal. :)

We cannot recommend Violet highly enough for wedding hair and makeup! She was our artist for our…read moreOctober 2025 wedding at Solage in Napa, and she did an incredible job. Violet created two very different looks for me--one for our Friday welcome party and one for the wedding day--and she nailed both of them perfectly. Everything held up beautifully all night, through photos and hours of dancing! Beyond her talent, she was just a lovely and calming presence to have around. She was amazing with my family as well, making everyone feel comfortable and look their best. She was also so flexible and accommodating with several last-minute changes to our schedule, which we appreciated so much. We couldn't have been happier!

I hired Violet for my wedding hair and makeup years ago, and unfortunately did not have a good…read moreexperience. She did an amazing trial and I was so excited. The day of my wedding, she had extremely poor planning and time management, and decided it was smart to start me, the bride, last. That resulted in me literally being late, with her rushing to finish. The end result was a mess, it was awful. When I texted her photos afterwards politely expressing my disappointment (with trial and wedding photos attached), she did not offer to refund me but instead offered to redo my hair and makeup again for wedding photo retakes - strange, as how I clearly could not retake photos from that day and had no plans to pay tons of money for another post-wedding photo shoot?? Would have preferred my money back. Or better planning to begin with.

I had the absolute best experience working with Jessie Hoang as my hair and makeup artist for my…read morewedding. From the initial consultation to the actual wedding day, she was incredibly detail-oriented and thoughtful in every aspect of her work. She took the time to truly understand both my bridesmaids and my own preferences while also offering her professional insight on what would look best--not just for the ceremony, but also for the reception. What really stood out to me was how kind-hearted and attentive she was throughout the entire process. She genuinely cared about my overall well-being, making sure I felt comfortable, confident, and calm during what can be a very hectic time. Her presence was so grounding and reassuring. Jessie has an amazing eye for enhancing natural beauty and tailoring each look perfectly to the moment. I felt like the best version of myself all day long. I can't recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone talented, caring, and truly invested in making your day special.

Her team was also exceptional and highly skilled, and everyone helped create such a calm and enjoyable getting-ready experience on the wedding day.

My wedding was in SF and we were staying at the Marriott. Everything with her felt seamless.

I loved everything about my makeup and hair on both days--my banquet day and city hall elopement day. Hera is kind, quick, professional, and knew exactly what my mom and I wanted. My mom had never worn makeup before, and Hera worked wonders, bringing out our natural beauty instead of masking it (the makeup/falsies also felt light and comfortable to be in all day long). My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day! I wanted a classic updo that looked full and natural but I have fine, thin hair and didn't think it would work. Fortunately, Hera is very talented and was able to make my low bun updo look full and natural with the perfect amount of volume! I can't say enough about her work--she's super talented, professional, and somehow knows exactly what the client wants without much direction. On top of that, she was easy to work with, always on time (if not early!), and incredibly accommodating. If you book with Hera, you won't regret it!

I informed them I would not have paid for the service but had no choice and paid. I was asked to remove this review in order to get 50% money back. I said no this is important that other people see these reviews when booking appointments on their special day. The information listed below by the owner is incorrect. I was not informed I would only get 30 minutes for a makeup that sounds incorrect. Also to correct dark circles you need to add corrector. No high end makeup was offered at all. Every product used was cheap. The owner refuses to accept this review. Also my friend who went after me had the same experience and had to re do her makeup prior to the event. Save yourself from ruining ur special day and shop wisely when getting your makeup done on your special day. It really can ruin it for you. I was told that if I remove the posting I could get 50% back. If not she would not work with me as she did her job. I would not call this a professional makeup appointment.
