I tried two other people during the year while we were planning our wedding day... but there was no comparison to what Monique turned my normally sad flat hair into a beautiful crown. It was exactly as I had imagined it without extensions or fakeness. And the make up not only looked good- it felt good AND stayed on through the hot sweaty day AND sweatier dancing. She even reduced the eyeliner a bit for me when she saw I was a little uncomfortable with it - not a hassle... but a lovely time spent prepping for the favorite day of my life. Thank you Monique for all your effort and skill - I really felt my most pretty ever. Maybe we can recreate for our anniversary date next year.

I randomly cast the dice on this place after reading a few positive reviews. When I arrived I was greeted by Nancy...she seemed like a cool old hippie and I knew I'd get along great with her. My hair was now past my shoulders and I gave her a very rough idea of what I was looking to have done. With very little guidance, she captured it wonderfully. I'm really happy with the results and she was fun to chat with. Additionally, she was very professional and meticulous with COVID safety. They run a tight ship here. I would really recommend this place and Nancy specifically. Thanks Nancy!

I would just like to say that Kris made me so gorgeous on my special day. I live down in Los Angeles and we decided that Sonoma would be a perfect destination wedding. I just had my wedding a week ago and felt the need to come on here and rave about the service I received. She was very professional from the get go and highly responsive thru emails and phone calls. She was the first one to respond to my online requests and one of the few that took the time to call me to discuss my options. Since I was researching everything from far away, she was very helpful. My wedding day went off without a hitch and my makeup looked amazing and stayed on all day. I practically needed some paint thinner and a chisel to get it off at the end of the night. LOL It was about 85 degrees and even taking all the pictures in the heat, my makeup stayed in tact. I got several compliments. For all those brides out there searching for a good makeup artist in the Sonoma area - please do yourselves a favor and hire Kris. You will def regret if it you don't. I suggest you do the trial, i felt it necessary. My trial session was great and my makeup was immaculate, but on the big day, I didn't think it possible but wow! It looked even better than it did the first time! Once again, thank you Kris for being one for the reasons that my day was so perfect and beautiful. Best of Luck! Ivonne

I sort of stumbled upon Kris for my wedding, and I am SO glad I did. I was getting married in…read moreSonoma, and wanted a cost-effective, low-stress makeup artist. I am also Indian, and was having an Indian wedding, so I needed someone who would be able to work with my skin tone/makeup needs. I take care of my skin but (or maybe, therefore) do not wear make up daily. I did not want to be overdone, and my husband wouldn't have liked it either. My mom NEVER wears makeup, so was very hesitant to even get it done for the wedding, but my sister and I convinced her it would be better for the photos (we were TOTALLY right). Kris made me look like myself, but also STUNNING. I did not feel overdone, and would often forget that I was wearing makeup, until I'd catch a glimpse in the mirror-- it was like I was lightly--but authentically-- photoshopped. Same thing for my mom and sister... we still, to this day, talk about how Kris walked an incredibly fine line, and made us feel SO good, both in terms of how we looked AND felt (she is so chill and calming! Her studio is great.) We still revel in the compliments we get from anyone who sees the photos! She matched my makeup to my skin, and my red/orange/gold wedding dress (traditional Indian colors) perfectly. Kris also recommended my hair styles who I was very happy with. I did the trial the morning of one of my other wedding events earlier that week, which was a genius idea she suggested. I could go on and on, but I think the biggest compliment I can give Kris is: makeup was something I was not particularly looking forward to, and my experience with Kris was probably one of my favorite memories of the whole wedding.

Stefanie took the time to truly understand my vision for my wedding day look, and she executed it flawlessly. What I loved most is that she managed to enhance my features without making me feel like I was wearing a mask of makeup. The result was a look that felt light and natural, yet undeniably glamorous and perfect for my special day. My makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the entire day and night (even after lots of happy tears)! I knew Stefanie was going to be spectacular from what I'd heard about her, yet she still exceeded my expectations. Do yourself a favor and use Stephaine for your wedding! There's no doubt that you will be so happy that you did.

I sent a message through Yelp and apparently it went to Rosa of Beauty by Rosa. Instead of just replying to me that she received my message in error, she posted my message and full name on her Facebook page AND on her Instagram. I am very thankful that I did not trust this person to do any services on myself, and that I haven't paid her for any of her services. An associate of mine sent me an email with screenshots and told me that I was being made fun of on her group page. Very unprofessional. Beware, she will post your messages. Honestly, I cannot understand why any professional would treat someone this way, especially when they are in the service industry, and they are a business woman. This is hurtful, and embarrassing. *WARNING* P.S. If you look at "Rosa" AKA Bunny P.'s Yelp review you'll see that she gives herself a 5 star rating. I wonder if she'd do the same if she was an actual customer. Such bad ethics.
