There are so many great things to say about Liza - for starters, she was so patient with all of my…read morerequests and was able to help me find a balance between two totally different styles - I wanted heavy, contoured, modern glam (all about that defined brow and matte lip) BUT ALSO a soft, whimsical look because we were getting married in a forest! Impossible right?? She did such a great job of helping me find this look! Her opinions and advice were embraced and I even made a change to my lip color right before she finished off my whole look on the wedding day, and she remained cool, calm, and positive about it! Thank god because I was feeling all the wedding day anxiety. Now that I've had my makeup and hair done for several weddings, I wanted to note a couple things that she does differently which make her well worth your budget. She asks for photos of you with and without makeup prior to the trial (and hair naturally in a photo as well), and she does the same for your bridesmaids. This made me feel like she would be well-prepared for the wedding day for all the different skin tones and hair length that bridesmaids have, lowering the possibility to run short on time. She was also available throughout the year of planning, not just during the trial. I would email her photos and she would send some back, and I would send feedback about my trial look that I wanted to adjust after seeing the photos she took for me (hint - take photos and look at them a week or two later with fresh eyes). I noticed that she also took notes from our trial and had reviewed them on the wedding day - I haven't seen any other artist do this that I've worked with. This also helped with the time efficiency AND getting that look perfectly since the last time we had done the trial was months before. Trust me, you'll have Bride Brain no matter how organized you are and you can't have an artist who asks you what lip color it was that you had wanted. So glad she had the look all set to go and from there we went! I am so pleased with how my makeup turned out in my photos and lastly, she brought an assistant because I had so many bridesmaids and she was seriously incredible too. I LOVED my BM's makeup and hair (always a plus...haha)!

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for Liza. From the second I met her at my…read morehair and makeup trial to the last bit of lip gloss she applied before I went to see my groom, everything was perfect. First of all, Liza is so sweet and kind. She came to my house for my hair and makeup trial and we talked for 3 hours straight while she was working her magic. I sent her a bunch of photos prior to the trial of what I wanted, and halfway through doing my hair, I realized I wanted something else and she didn't bat an eye. She changed it up and my hair looked perfect! Bonus: She gave my dog a lot of cuddles and he was very sad when she left. On the day of the wedding, her and her trusted team of 2 other hair & make-up gals (Caroline & Miranda - also SO great to work with) came to the hotel at 730am to get the beautification process started. Liza created a timeline for what time each bridesmaid (& my mama) got their hair and makeup done. It was the smoothest process ever. And again, I decided I wanted my hair to look different and Liza was able to work her magic. I looked like myself, only a million times better thanks to the work of Liza. She was also kind enough to braid my niece/flower girl's hair at the last minute. Me and all of my bridesmaids' hair and makeup lasted through a windy San Francisco day of pre-wedding photos into a night of dancing and fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you Liza. You are amazing at what you do.

Brushed by an angel, an angel name Ngan. She is a heaven send!…read more I've found Ngan through one of the FB Wedding groups and after seeing her reviews, Instagram, and website, I reached out to schedule a hair and make up trial. I already knew from the beginning that Ngan was going to be great to work with - she was friendly and personable and it felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend, to be honest. Ngan was not only patient with me through my trial as she listened to my concerns and worked with me who has 0 knowledge about make up, but she provided suggestions and ideas based on my skin tone and likes and dislikes. My mother also did a separate hair trial with Ngan because she had some concerns if she would be able to get her hair in a bun since she had some bald spots she wanted to cover with thin hair and Ngan was able to reassure her and get to work to make her feel good. Coordinating a time and place for both the trial and the actual wedding day was very easy to do. Ngan and her assistant arrived on the morning of wedding in a timely manner and got to work right away. My bridal party looked and felt amazing which was very important to me. My hair and make up looked perfect - Ngan did a fantastic job. Even though we went through a trial already a few months back, she reiterated what we went through, what we agreed on, and asked if there was any changes to the plan. She worked with me and my thinner eyebrows and I have to toot my own horn and say I looked fantastic. Overall, I would highly recommend Ngan for any special occasion - whether it's a wedding, an engagement party, or a "just because I deserve it" day. Her communication is on point, she's patient and kind, and open to any concerns you may have. My hair stayed in place the entire day and my make up turned out great in the photos.

We had some miscommunication/issues with scheduling the trial run but it ended up working out. Ngan went through the inspo makeup and hair pics I had sent her and we discussed what colors/styles I liked. She gave great recommendations on what complemented my facial structures. During the day of the wedding, Ngan and her team arrived on time to set up and get started. I LOVED the way my makeup and hair turned out and my girls also looked amazing! Ngan gave me a little bit of the lip products she used so that I could touch up throughout the day, and my makeup and hair stayed put throughout the whole whole day. Thank you so much Ngan!

She was late to the bridal makeup trial. She didn't call to inform me she was late until after the…read morescheduled time. When I said more heads up would be nice this escalated to an argument. She explained because it's not her space she would need also additional time to setup. This didn't include sweeping up or moving the hair on the floor. Sure it's not her space but she didn't acknowledge it in anyway. She didn't even have me saved as the right client leading to confusion on both ends Extremely condescending and rude. I am 5'10 she informed me because my legs were long it was making her job challenging. She told me the dark circles under my eyes were very noticeable and hard to hide. She got makeup in both of my eyes and informed me because I don't regularly wear makeup this was because of my eyes Despite this I was willing to go with her. However I didn't get back to her within 48 hours. Stated no where. And she never followed up with me leading to last minute confusion on my end assuming having already paid her for a trial would encourage some professionalism in a courtesy follow up. Wedding planning is stressful! Additionally in our last conversation after she informed me she likely couldn't do the makeup. She asked where I was planning on getting ready for my wedding. I told her the salon. She then went on to disparage their space as it doesn't even have the table space she would need to do her work. I thankfully was able to find a nicer and actually warm artist and had an amazing wedding.

When I followed up with a polite inquiry about scheduling before sunrise due to a photoshoot, she responded in an incredibly rude and condescending manner.

Truly one of the worst customer service interactions I've had.

My mom never wears makeup and was worried about having heavy makeup, but Maria gave her a natural and pretty look with appropriate lashes that made her look amazing.

There are two main components I think are important to emphasize about her work- her makeup skills, and her energy. Regarding makeup - our initial trial was thorough and very detailed. Maria was willing to work through all my likes/dislikes, answer all my and my moms questions about the process. I was adamant that even though I was putting together an Indian wedding with heavy outfits, I wanted all my makeup looks to be as natural and timeless as possible with elements of fun. Maria delivered on all of these requests, which included numerous rounds of trying different eyelash strips/lipstick colors/eyeliner shades and texting inspo pics and was always helpful and patient. I was so bummed I had to wash my face at the end of both days I had my makeup done by her! Regarding energy- Maria brought fun, lighthearted and genuine vibes that my entire family and I appreciated. Maria's ability to both keep light conversations while maintaining awareness of sensitive moments was such a gift that truly helped me enjoy the moment instead of being caught up in details. No questions about it, book Maria!!
