Our looks were just as fresh at the end of the evening as they were when we started. If you need to spend all day getting ready with someone, Lia is your gal. An absolute delight and incredible artist.

I highly recommend Lia! She was very responsive, organized, friendly, kind, easy to get along with,…read moretalented, and professional since our very first correspondence. The fact that Lia was even able to meet me at 4:30 a.m. so that I could be ready by 7:30 a.m. for my elopement at SF city hall spoke volumes about her. Being a bride who has very minimal experience with getting my hair and make-up done, I was a bit skeptical at first about whether I really needed to have a three hour appointment, but in the end, I think it's incredibly wonderful that Lia carves out three hours to work with her brides. It turns out that it was the perfect amount of time for Lia to do all of the following: confirm the look I want to have for my wedding, set up, do my hair, apply make-up, give me stretch breaks, clean up, and have some time to spare. Even though I opted out of a hair and make-up trial, Lia certainly knew how to deliver. Her artistry, expertise, and skills are all to be admired. She was also very patient and willing to answer any questions I had throughout the hair & makeup process, and made me feel beautiful and confident for the eventful day to come. Lia also went above and beyond and helped me into my wedding dress, which was no easy feat! You see, it had a corset back, and neither of us ever laced up a corset wedding gown before. With the help of some Youtube videos, Lia got me into the dress like a pro. This meant so much to me, because if it weren't for her, it would have been much harder to do a first look with my fiance before we took off to SF city hall together. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better person to get me ready for my big day, and would recommend Beauty by Lia to friends and family without hesitation. Thank you so much Lia!

My hair and makeup lasted all night even through lots and lots of happy tears! I opted for an elegant bun as my hairstyle and then a dewy complexion-focused makeup look and loved my results. I requested some adjustments following my initial trial (changes to the bun look) with Fiona and she flawlessly accommodated the changes. I was especially impressed with her false lash application - they looked incredibly natural and flattering. I'd definitely recommend Fiona's services!

I'm in my 50s, was stuck in a makeup rut (same-same for years) and asked for a special occasion tutorial, plus a refresh on my work and weekend looks. I'm about to retire & wanted to treat myself to a glow-up. Julie was easy to schedule with - she came to my home w/ her tools of trade but intentionally used my own makeup as much as possible, while recommending products & brushes to fill the gaps. No upselling and most of her recommendations were very affordable. Her approach was gentle, open-minded & respectful of the fact that I wanted a natural yet elevated look. She did half of my face and walked me through doing the other half. Her teaching style was great - she made suggestions instead of imposing rules. It felt safe. After the session, she sent me a detailed step-by-step guide, complete with hyperlinks to every product used. I bought most of what she suggested and have been super happy w/ it all. I've incorporated several of her techniques that are simple but impactful. Julie gave me the confidence boost I needed to put my best face forward :)

I received so many compliments on both looks and truly felt my best on such an important day. Thank you so much, Nikki!

A few brushstrokes and extensions later, she made me look so sexy and glamorous that I was almost embarrassed to look at myself in the mirror. What I like about Jane (aside from her spunky, bubbly personality and sense of humor) is that her goal is to make you look like a better version of yourself. I'm not into the overdone, fake look, so Jane's approach was exactly what I was looking for. She's so good at what she does and LOVES what she does so much. Kudos Jane! You rock my socks off!

Seriously though, the whole experience working with Jane was great. She started with a survey to get to know my beauty style, inspiration photos, skin sensitivities, etc. Then I brought my mom to the hair and makeup trial, and Jane made her feel so comfortable and welcome (lots of bonding over K-dramas :) ). Last but not least, I loved the look she crafted-- the perfect balance of polished and natural! On the wedding day, all of the makeup artists (Jane, Jasmine, and Erika) were so friendly and accommodating of the requests of the family members I had booked for HMU services. Everyone had such a lovely, memorable time getting all glammed up together. I highly recommend The Glamourist for any bride who just wants to relax and enjoy her wedding day knowing she looks awesome.
