I always entrust my clients to Aime from Glamology, she is hands down the BEST hair and makeup wizard there is, she has the experience of working with brides that get married along the coast and it is so important because the ocean mist and the winds are usually not something to be taken lightly. When it was my turn to get ready for my vow renewal, I wouldn't have trusted anyone but her. She understood very well that I am not someone that normally wears makeup and she listened carefully to my request to make me look as natural as possible. I was glowing, she enhanced my natural features without making me look like a different person, which I was admittedly very nervous about. My hair was done by Malerie, Glamology's curly hair specialist and again, WOW! my hair had never looked better, what's even better is that despite the strong winds and mist in Big Sur that day, my curls looked amazing for 3 days!!!! Also, something that I have not experienced with other stylists, is that she takes the time to talk to you about your expectations, she is quick to respond to any questions and very professional. The whole experience was amazing, the couple of hours that I spent at Glamology on my wedding day were as special as the rest of the day, I would never trust anyone else with doing my makeup, Aime and Glamology forever!

She is very friendly, open and upfront, i love her!

I met Sarah as a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding and was very excited to work with her at my own wedding. I did two trials with Sarah because I couldn't decide what I wanted, and she was very patient with me changing my mind and adding to her already busy schedule. Both trials turned out so well despite being done in far less time than the actual wedding day. On the day of the wedding The Hair + Makeup Company team arrived very early in the morning to start on my six bridesmaids, two mothers, and myself. Everything was well organized and smooth. There was a wall of photos showing everyone's desired hair and makeup photos and we even ended a bit ahead of schedule.

She organized additional makeup and hair artists to cover our rather large group of diverse ladies and tight timeline, which took an immense amount of organizational stress off my plate at a time when I really needed that. Kayhan and her team did an excellent job with our variety of requests, which included up-dos and down-dos, bridal hair and mother-of-the bride hair, short hair, long hair, blue hair, red hair, a sidecut, and complex braids. Everyone looked incredible and felt great all night. The makeup was perfect - The crew that Kayhan brought along was a joy to work with and we were all giggling together by the time we wrapped everything up (on-time, by the way). I also really enjoyed my practice hair and makeup sessions with Kayhan. I have naturally very straight hair which has resisted all of my efforts to curl it for years, and she taught me things about mousse and curling techniques that really have changed the game for me. My bridal curls were gorgeous and perfect, and they stayed in all night, even after it sprinkled on us a little at the wedding. Kayhan is an excellent hair stylist and also great company to chat with. I'm so glad that I found her for my wedding because not only did she do an excellent job, but she also operates as a normal stylist in the area and I will be continuing to go to her for my semi-annual trim. She has a station at the beautiful Collective Salon in Old Town. I can't say enough good things about Kayhan!! Highly, highly recommended :)
