I came across Leanne's page only a few weeks before my wedding, and I'm so glad I did! Luckily, she had availability, so I booked a hair and makeup trial session and day-of hair and makeup for myself and my mom. With my wedding ceremony being at 9am with an hour-long commute to the venue, we had to start at 4am to fit everything in. She was prompt and very accurate in predicting how the morning would go. She also gave me plenty of opportunities to share feedback through the entire process. I was very pleased with both of our results! Thanks so much, Leanne! read more

Leanne did an amazing job with my hair for my Chinese Wedding Banquet! I needed someone pretty last minute, about a month out, and I was so relieved to find Leanne on yelp and luckily she was available! She responded super quick to my inquiry and answered any questions I had right away. All I had to do was provided her some inspiration photos and she was set! She arrived promptly on time on the day-of for my hair service and went straight to work. I had a few hair accessory pieces for her to work with and they became rather tricky to put on, but Leanne was extremely patient and accommodating to my requests and made sure I was happy with the results. It came out beautifully and it stayed perfectly intacted all night long! I would definitely recommend her and use her services again in the future. (: read more

Leanne Hair and Makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me

TLDR: Flawless hair and makeup after 6 hours of photography, dinner, and dancing, and relaxing/ utmost professionalism are what Leanne stands for. I can't recommend her enough. Backstory: I planned my wedding in 6 months and did lots of research. My girl friend couldn't make it to my trial but it turned out for the better. Leanne and I bonded over food, drinks, etc. I asked for a natural but polished look and she delivered. Leanne even took off my makeup and hair so I can head off on my run. On the day of my reception, she maintained her composure which kept me calm, did an excellent job as usual, and even stayed late to touch me up before she takes off. Thankful for Leanne to keep my cool and amazing look for my big day! read more

Leanne made my maternity photos absolutely incredible. One evening in my third trimester, when I was feeling particularly heavy and unappealing, I decided to treat myself and booked two photo shoots to brighten up my late pregnancy experience. To add to it, I wanted to have my hair and makeup done so I could feel extra special. I emailed multiple hair and makeup artists, and either they were fully booked, or they charged prices that were out of my range since they normally focused on weddings (which tend to cost more.) Leanne was responsive, and we quickly set up a time and date where she visit my house to apply my makeup and do my hair. She also asked for inspiration photos in advance, which I texted to her. Now, on the days that she came over, she was punctual, kind, and flexible. She has a cheerful, motherly attitude which I found very charming. It was fun talking to her when she was working on me! I highly recommend Leanne, and look forward to the next time I have an opportunity to have her pretty me up. She made me feel beautiful in one of the more challenging times of my life. read more

My daughter wanted a more dramatic look. Leanne took care of her request. Our hair turned out great. I am so happy with Leanne's service. I would definitely hire her again. read more

Leanne was amazing and was so sweet. She saved my wedding day because my makeup and hair artist cancelled on me few days before my big day. Leanne did a lovely job and knows what to do when I told her how I would like my hair and make up to be without a trial. They lasted all day, I didn't need to do any touch up.

Leanne was the perfect choice for what I needed. I was in Oakland for my second ceremony on 12/8 (smaller) and needed to have my hair and makeup done for the occasion. After deliberating, I ended up going with Leanne because I loved the fact that she had a quick response time, was willing to work with me regardless of the fact that she had another appointment set for that day. She actually arranged to have the other bridal party start at 5am in order to wrap up with her associate and the party and make it over to my area (due to a lack of a car, I was unable to make it over to her) and gave me estimates on arrival time throughout the process. I was able to have her arrive at around 10:15am in order to be done up and ready by 12:30pm. I basically told her that I wanted to look a bit glamorous (not too much makeup) and wanted a slight curl in my hair to offset my hair clip, and she came up with the perfect look without much direction. She was able to conjure up a look in no time that was elegant, simple, and actually was what I was hoping for! I was also in a bit of a bind as I didn't have any of the original bridesmaids present for this small ceremony and needed assistance with actually putting on my wedding dress, she actually stayed with me to help me put on my outfit and snap a photo or two for me. Perfect, prompt, professional, and quick to reply. She was the perfect person to book for this event and I'm glad that I got the chance to have her use her hair and makeup expertise for my event. She also quoted me the most reasonable prices, also. Thank you!! read more

Leanne is really professional and experience on doing her hair and make up. I'm highly recommended. She as good as others that I had before. I'm glad that I found her (kind last minutes text her) to get my makeup and hair done for engagement photo shooting in SF. We met in a salon where located in Oakland. She got there before me (earlier than appointment time) and instantly get started with my hair first and then up. She asked me any preference for hair styling and I showed her some online pictures and told her where's the photo shooting and she's agree that got all my hairs at the back. She're really patient when styling my hair as my hair took her sometimes to get wave or curl. She said that my hair very strong and healthy (ops). For make up, I followed her professional opinion, and I didn't give any preference. She spent time on doing my make up, she didn't rush herself because she wants things get done perfect and flawless which I'm really appreciate for her help. Anyway, we had the perfect photo shooting in SF. read more

Leanne has impeccable attention to detail and is a true professional! She did my hair and makeup for my elopement last week and I am SO glad I found her and she decided to take me as a client. Even my wedding photographer complimented me on my makeup and said she did a wonderful job compared to a lot of other bridal makeup artists she's seen. It was clear that Leanne had done her homework and studied my selfie I'd sent to her a couple of nights before. The makeup felt light on my face and photographed extremely well, looked glamorous yet natural, and lasted 16 hours. Similarly, my hair looked like the lightly tousled updo I wanted, and held up nicely, even until the next morning. I would not hesitate to recommend Leanne to others and would definitely want to hire her again. read more

A few years late but I was just thinking about how gorgeous my makeup and hair was on my wedding day and then remembered I never updated this review. Leanne hit it out of the ballpark and it's saying something that I still get compliments and remember how beautiful I looked over four years later. Leanne came early to our hotel and immediately got to work. She did a gorgeous fantastic job on my hair and makeup and even helped stop a few fires. She literally was a godsend being speedy, efficient and perfect. I was worried about a lot of things on my wedding day but my hair and makeup was not one of them. She really is a hidden gem and anyone who has her help on their wedding day is lucky. I've added some pictures and I can tell you nothing budged all night. Thank you again Leanne! I love you so much and will always tell people about how great you are! read more

Leanne makeup style is subtle and modern imo. I wanted a makeup for a professional photo. I tried some artists and ended up being either really loud or dated. So she first made sure how I wanted my makeup done. I couldn't think of a good makeup look for business so let her to design. And I was so excited to see myself in the mirror. It's a much confidence and sexier me lol. Mostly neutral colors and traditional eyeliner exactly what I wanted. My skin look perfect on screen. Her products and tools feel soft and relaxed on skin even wore them all day. I also got my hair permed and it's wow. I would try her makeup looks for party and wedding. Highly recommend. read more

Leanne is the best! As a professional photographer, I'm coming at this from a somewhat different perspective. I hire Leanne frequently to do makeup for my client headshots, dating photos, fashion portfolios, and branding photography. She slays every time! She is always punctual, communicative, reasonably priced, and - most importantly - does amazing work. She can work with all skin types and shades, is quick, and is good at putting the customer at ease before the shoot. Hair and Makeup can make or break a portrait, because too much or done improperly can make the images look off. But she gets it right every time. I'm so thankful to have found her! read more

~I found Leanne through Yelp when I was looking for someone to do my hair and make up for my girlfriend's wedding as her bridesmaid.I had my hair and make up trial by a different hair and make up stylist but was not happy with the result. BUT, lucky for me, Leanne saved the day. I found her at the last minute, literally the wedding was on a Saturday and I found her Monday. ~ We did not to a trial. She was very accurate with answering emails and texts. We did a phone consultation since we were not able meetup before she requested to send pictures of my hair and face without make up which helped her on the day of the styling. ~I mentioned to her that I have breakouts and also I have a lot of imperfections on my face; she then suggested that traditional foundation may not work, she will need to use air brush. ~Throughout the process, I felt very comfortable with Leanna. She made sure to be very careful, precise, and genuinely cared about the exact look I was going for. She used airbrushed and omg! my breakouts and imperfections were covered up without having that heavy, cakey feeling that I felt when I had my trial with my original make up artist. ~She added a complimentary eyelashes to finish off my make up. She also advised me on using my own make up to do touch ups if I needed to during the wedding. Another thing that impressed me about Leanne is that she also gave advises on what I could be doing wrong on why make up was not staying on all day, my eye brows are too thin and that I also need to pay attention to making my eye brows pop more. She even offered to give me make up tutorial in which I will take her up on it. ~As for my hair, love love love the curls,it showed off the burgundy color of my hair. It was bouncy and did not have that stiff texture; it lasted well it is now sunday and I have what I call "porno hair" the curls looked more fuller and it is still going strong. I think I will keep it till Monday. ~Once everything was finished, I couldn't be more happy about the results!! I LOVED both my hair and makeup and it definitely helped give me the confidence I needed to walk down the aisle as bridesmaid, to feel comfortable to have my pictures taken and dance the night away. Not to mention my hair and makeup lasted the entire night and still looked flawless. ~There truly is a reason why people should hire professionals to do their hair and makeup for events. And Leanne, absolutely is a PRO! Thank you SO MUCH for being wonderful at what you do. read more

I was very happy with my hair and makeup that Leanne did for my wedding! She did exactly what I was envisioning for my hair. Normally I don't wear a lot of makeup and I think she did a great job of keeping it natural but giving it just a bit more glam. She and her associate also did the hair and makeup for my 3 moms and I thought they all looked so beautiful! Not to mention they are incredibly fast!! We were all done early! I was trying to beat the rain and since I was done early I was able to get the pictures I wanted! Leanne is very adaptable and can work in spaces she's never seen before but she does prefer natural light so it's best if there is a window nearby. Also her pricing is extremely reasonable for the area. So glad I booked her! read more

Leanne was a great choice for my special day! I needed my makeup done in a very specific way since I was throwing a birthday party that was 1920s themed. I needed a very 1920s glamour style makeup look and came with a picture. Leanne was prompt and frankly was like a magician to my face! She was very friendly and spent a lot of time getting my makeup just perfect! My makeup was on point all night and at the moment before people arrived, right after getting my hair done, I texted her that one of my fake eyelashes had started to creep up! She drove to my house and fixed my eyelash right then and there at my house! I was very, very pleased with Leanne and would recommend her to everyone! She is my go to in the event I ever need my makeup done again! read more

She takes her time and adjust accordingly to your requests. Her make up gives a very natural look like " make up, but no make up."

I wanted to hire a makeup artist for the first time for a milestone birthday dinner. It was very difficult to find a local makeup artist on short notice with so many summer events going on. I found Leann through Yelp and fortunately she was available. I liked the fact that she was accommodating with her willingness to work indoors, in our garage or outdoors, whatever the customer preferred. She asked me to send her a photo of how I wanted my makeup to look and I sent her a photo of a medium application. She came to my house which was very convenient and was right on time. She relied only on natural sunlight, not artificial light. As others have said, Leann has a strong attention to detail and spent over half hour just on my eyes and lashes. She took her time and did not rush. While working, we had a nice conversation about her background which made my experience all the more enjoyable. At the end, she asked how I liked the makeup and offered to make any adjustments. I was very pleased with the end result and got compliments on my makeup from my family. I would definitely use Leann again for another special event and would recommend her to my family and friends. read more

I can't begin to stress how great Leanne is to work with! She was recommended to me by my cousin as she got her wedding her done with her. Leanne is so talented and wonderful to work with. We had done our first trial run a couple weeks ago and gave me so much time and attention on getting that hairstyle the way I wanted. Then 3 weeks before my wedding I found a completely different hairstyle that I was really curious to try out and without hesitation she set up another trial for me and gave it a go. She is very patient and goes over with you all the inns and outs of the hair which helped me so much in deciding which style to go with. My wedding is this Saturday and I absolutely cannot wait! read more

I went to Leanne for my prom makeup and hair. I originally planned for her to come over to my friend's house to work but instead changed the venue to her place.

There are almost no words adequate enough to describe how wonderful my experience was with Leanne. First of all, she is so genuine and down to earth and makes you feel perfectly comfortable and accepted. She has decades of experience so she is going to do a fantastic job. Her makeup and hair for my wedding were pretty much flawless. I had a trial of both before the wedding but if you don't have time for a trial you can trust her, as long as you know how to ask for what you want. I preferred different eye shadows than what she used so on the day of the wedding I gave her my eyeshadow and she used it perfectly. She also noticed that I wear my makeup heavier when she did my hair. So she applied more heavily and sultry for wedding day. Everyone raved about my makeup, my maid of honor says she never in her whole life has liked how someone has done her makeup so she always does it herself. But when she saw mine she said she will be calling Leanne when her wedding day comes. Leanne also put an extra piece of my Swarovski dress straps that I had excess into my hair as decoration and it was gorgeous. People used words like beautiful, gorgeous, stunning, perfect, divine, those words we want to hear on our wedding day!! My husband cried and gazed at me adoringly. My hair stayed in place even though I danced and even cleaned up the hall in my wedding gown after! short handed for clean up, do what you must do... My husband counted 32 hairpins he removed that night, the same number of years he's been chasing me to marry me. lol true story. We thought that was cute. Don't hesitate. Leanne knows what she's doing and she will enhance your natural beauty perfectly. I actually look forward to working with her again just because she's so pleasant to be around! Perhaps for the ballet next season. :) read more
