The style of makeup she did followed my request and sample photos I showed her, and it is exactly what I wanted. She did make up for my mom and bridesmaids who also looked super beautiful. Her trial was very smooth and helpful as well. She definitely knows her make up and can give great advice about it since she has been in the profession for many years. Her work really defined beauty for me on my wedding day! Thank you for everything. She is now my "go-to" person for any main event make up. I would highly recommend her.

Wow... Didn't…read moreactually get to the point of using her services, but initial interactions via email were short, rude at times and very unprofessional. She gave off a vibe that her schedule and time is more important than mine. When I asked for a trial prior to my June 5, 2010 wedding (MORE THEN A YEAR AWAY). She told me "we may be abale to squeeze in a trial by before then...i have so few dates left that i will have to spend a few minutes in my planner to see where and when i can do a trial with you." Notice all the misspellings and lack of capitalization. I guess from talking to so many vendors over the last two months I expect a more proper and positive response? Maybe just me. I then told her she sounded to busy to help me, she wrote me back and told me to re-read her last few emails and that I should have read all of the words. Maybe a email mis-understanding, but wow I took it as flippant and rude. Anyhow she might be an amazing make-up artist, but seems to busy to take on any new clientele and is horrible at customer service! I recommend Sara at make up by blush. She has been such a pleasure to work with in the preliminary process of finding a hair and make-up artist for my wedding and her YELP and word of mouth reviews are awesome!!!!! :) Her response after I told her she sounded to busy to help me and thanks anyway..... "wow...that is the strangest response...you are the one who misunderstood in the first place...i was merely setting you straight on the facts...and, no, i am actually one of the easiest to work with in the Biz, as well as the best...your loss, sister...tia" No comment on the above, speaks for itself

I booked Tia for my wedding and her work was ah-mazing! It was everything I wanted, without me even…read moretelling her what I did/did not want or bringing her pictures. She did hair and make-up for me and my 3 bridesmaids in downtown Los Gatos. I booked her without meeting her and that decision was based on Yelp reviews as well as email correspondences from her. By the way, she's not big on technology and it was difficult to get a hold of her several weeks before my wedding (she was in an area with no cell phone signals nor internet), but she had not forgotten about the date and she did apologize. She does offer hair and make-up trials ($250), but she is confident in her skills and told me to save that money as she has been doing what she does for 24 years. I trusted her and you should too. When you book Tia, you won't need to do a trial. Trust. For the day of, we met at 6AM but due to a key-stuck-in-door incident, we were unable to use the $50 room I had paid for us to hang-out and get our hair & make-up done. As a result, we started at 6:30 and was able to use the room next door which was fine. Tia first curled and set all of our hair and then she proceeded to beautify us. She did not use too much make-up and definitely did not "cake it on." She went for a natural, glowy, sun-kissed look and it worked for all of us. For hair, she just did her thing (again, us not really giving her any direction) and we all looked great. When I booked Tia, I showed her a picture of a headpiece I was thinking of wearing and she offered to make me one (deposit of $50 for her time & materials). The day of, she presented me with 4 very different headpieces and I got to choose which one I liked. I absolutely loved the creations she made, all very different and all very lovely. When she was done, off we went to the ceremony and she was there until the end, doing touch-ups to me as needed. Again, when I booked her, she had stated that she would be with me throughout the day, but I had asked her twice if she would stay with me for the reception (later that evening) and she declined. Instead, she touched me up one last time and gave me a brush, pressed powder and the lip gloss she used on me. I guess I didn't really need her during the night, but I was under the impression that she was going to be there, since she had stated it in the emails. Overall, Tia does do an amazing job. She will bring out the natural beauty in you and will make you look fresh and even more beautiful.

While on a tight budget with my wedding planning, I scouted out a few MUAs for me and my {teen}…read moredaughter. I knew there would be countless photos, day and night setting, dance sweating, hugging, kissing, and everything in between! I needed an expert and I found Cathleen. Cathleen was extremely upbeat and excited about my special day. I knew and felt that my happiness and satisfaction was her #1 priority and I wasn't just another customer! I didn't read a cookie-cutter email about her background or get a monotone voice mail trying to sound "cool" or "too business-y". Everything about her was sweet, courteous and friendly! Cathleen required a personal Bridal Consultation to discuss my preferences, styles, expectations, etc. And not only was I having her bam out my makeup, I was also going to have her do my hair! Both of these tasks are a serious chore - I love all kinds of makeup styles (think makeup ADD) and have long, thick, heavy, Asian hair. Cathleen offers one hour per service (i.e., one hour makeup, one hour hair) but wanted more time during our consult for discussions and play. I didn't feel rushed, I didn't feel like I was overstaying my welcome, I felt just right! I was able to chat with her more about her makeup and hair background and interests! We talked skin care, makeup care, styles - it was total ME TIME! I brought my veil and we even played with veil and hair height (up and down to the tiniest centimeter several times!!). My time with Cathleen made me look fwd to my day even more! On the big day, Cathleen and her sister, Sarah, joined me in my hotel suite to do hair and makeup for me, my daughter, and a few bridesmaids. Because they both are so personable and friendly, we got to talk more and share great laughs! They made me very comfortable!! I gave them style ideas for my bridal party and they delivered (20s theme updos), glamorously and sweetly. I love them! Cathleen also did my daughter's makeup lightly which really made her shine and glow! You know some of them' teens nowadays with the heavy makeup hands (like, gag me with a spoon!). Bright Eyed Girl accepts credit cards (via Square) for those of us that don't have time to hit the ATM on frantic days. Cathleen is quick and friendly with her email responses and this was a HUGE plus for me (I'm an emailer and texter guru)! She does hair and makeup for all sorts of events and/or special occasions (i.e., car shows, weddings, date night, etc). She even hosts personal makeup tutorials!! Like, what?! Fab-u-lous! All in all, I've been trying to find special dates on my calendar to call her. Hahah! I can't wait to have Bright Eyed Girl back in my life!

On the day of the wedding she showed up early, which many vendors don't do. I defintely recommend getting the airbrush makeup by Linda. The coverage is great and the makeup is not heavy.

We were so picky to find a person that not only is talented and expert in what he/she does but also has a pleasant personality to makes your special day more special. After having trials with almost 10 make artists in San Jose, we found Sara. She knows how to highlight each person's beauty rather than trying to change what you have. Since then(4 years now), she is our family's makeup artist. She also did my makeup for my wedding day and many other occasions. She is terrific and talented.

I am so thrilled that Rose Hill did my hair and make up for my wedding. She made me look flawlessly…read moreglamorous and beautiful. Rose helped me figure out multiple looks for the wedding day and I took her advice as she has been in the business for over 25 years and I was fortunate to have her. She works on celebrities, politicians, executives etc.. She is well respected and very professional. Not only does she do excellent work, she also is a very caring and warm individual; someone people want to be around. Everyone who met her at my wedding wanted to talk to her more. She is a very interesting person and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Rose Hill.

First of all, let me start by saying that Rose is the gem of the Bay Area. It was truly the luck of…read morethe draw to have been matched up with her using Thumbtack. I was astounded by her portfolio on its merits alone before even learning of all her experience and star clients! Rose offered her availability on Valentine's Day, of all days! This is an incredibly rare occasion. She offered me a remarkably reasonable rate given what I was looking for, which included both hair and makeup. I was startled by how fair of a deal she gave me considering I was booking an appointment for a popular occasion. We began strategizing from the get-go on the phone. Rose immediately struck me as aware, intelligent, humble, and personable, all traits which must have been invaluable for her success over the years. It was easy as pie to explain my visions -- I mean, she was so sweet and understanding. She has an almost psychic ability to detect what a girl is going for! Rose and I kept in touch via text where she allowed me to send her Pinterest photos when the inspiration struck. Over the course of about two weeks, she answered attentively and assured me she could duplicate the looks (and turned out: she could!). When February 14th arrived, a first occurred: Rose was early ... very early ... about twenty-five minutes early! She travels to the client's location, which is very convenient. Even though my phone was on silent, she was very gracious and patient when I got back to her. She made the best of a cramped room. With her equipment, a tiny space ended up looking like a glamorous Hollywood dressing room! We chatted easily and between wonderful conversation, Rose again checked that I had the same intentions for my look and asked if there were any changes. She seamlessly made small alterations in order to make my dreams come true. From the shade of lipstick, brows, and blush, to the size and fall of my curls, she tailored everything to my personal tastes! She definitely listened to me and made me feel like my wishes were being recognized. I can't wait to book her again!
