I failed to read one thing in the contract about her commuting fee, but Maria was understanding and we worked it out. She did a fantastic job with my mom's makeup for her 90th birthday party, and my mom looked gorgeous and party ready. 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. Maria is also very kind and patient, which made the session go smoothly. It was fun to see my mom's transformation. I highly recommend Maria's makeup services for any occasion!

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!!

Everyone was professional, creative, calm and FUN - exactly what a bride needs! My hair and makeup trial was truly one of the best days during wedding planning. I felt comfortable to voice any small changes and we worked together to make my perfect look come to life. So I knew I was in great hands for the wedding day itself. Amanda's creativity, talent and dedication to brides is evident. I would recommend her to any bride. I'm so grateful to have had her and the team as part of our wedding team.

Akanksha truly paid attention to every detail and made sure my daughter felt comfortable and confident. I was equally impressed with my own makeup.

What stood out even more is that she is only 22 years old and already so incredibly professional, focused, and attentive. She really listens to your needs and delivers beyond expectations. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful makeup artist!

Talented and friendly hair and makeup artist located in Union Square!…read more I was in search of bridal hair and makeup services back in October 2025. I reached out to many people, but Mei's husband, Robert, was the first person to respond to my inquiry and have availability for my wedding day. I paid a total of $475 for my hair and makeup trial and for my hair and makeup the day of my wedding. I did my hair and makeup trial in December 2025. I asked for a makeup look that was "me but fancier" and a simple low bun with face framing pieces. Mei listened and delivered with a natural makeup look and a cute bun that I absolutely loved. She made me feel extra beautiful. She even helped me start sewing the comb to my veil. I booked hair and makeup services for my wedding day after doing the trial with her. For the wedding hair and makeup, note that they may not be able to come to your hotel. Robert told me that they did not have a driver available to bring Mei to the hotel the day of my wedding, so I had to go to their studio. For me, this wasn't a big deal because my hotel was just a quick 2-stop bus ride down the street. I booked an 8 AM appointment for March 2026 and I arrived a little earlier. Mei was already there so we were able to start a little before 8 AM for my hair and makeup. She recreated the whole look from the trial flawlessly and even helped me place and pin my wedding veil. In total, it took about 1 hour for my hair and makeup. Mei's hands are very skillful and efficient, but gentle at the same time. My hair and makeup looked amazing in person and in the photos. I ended up crying a few times during my ceremony and reception, so I accidentally dislodged one false eyelash. That's OK though because it was easy to put it back on with the help of my friends and eyelash glue. Overall, I loved the service I received from Mei and highly recommend her to anyone looking for bridal hair and makeup in SF!

She makes you feel so comfortable and respects the look you want. I never wear make up and wanted to wear glasses on my wedding day and Mei just got the vision. My makeup felt natural and my hair looked so nice and flowy. I felt beautiful during my trials and on the actual wedding day. Mei really enhances your beauty and makes you feel so comfortable as well. She was the exact energy needed on the morning of the wedding! My mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law all loved their makeup and hairstyles. We received so many compliments and I can't recommend Mei enough!

However, it was also really important for me to find someone good at makeup for Asians. I shared with her several hairstyles and makeup looks before our makeup trial and she helped me select one that would work best for my hair length. If you plan on wearing a veil or have special hairpins, be sure to bring those to the makeup trial. On my wedding day, Carole and her assistant completed hair and makeup for me and five bridesmaids in four hours. Carole used airbrush foundation and fake lashes for me. A lot of people complimented on how great the hair and makeup looked. I definitely recommend Carole's services for any special events, ranging from engagement photos, weddings, to any formal gatherings.

Koko arrived super early at the bride's house and finished all three of us (bridesmaids) makeups and hair! Before she started the makeup, she discussed with me regarding the styles and few heads up instead of moving forward without my opinions. She's delightful to work with! During the process, she also patiently explained her choices of the makeup products to better suit my skin and style :) She also responded well to spontaneous requests and concerns! I told her that my hair is soft and thin so it's hard to create a "full volume" look. She immediately addressed the issue, creating a very beautiful hair style for me :) I would recommend Koko to everyone who is looking for a makeup artist who listens, cooperates and is skillful and pleasant to work with ;)

She even recommended a product that I now use in my day-to-day routine! Celia carried this patience and positive attitude into our wedding day, especially when my hair needed a couple of adjustments (in part since I hadn't done the hair trial to save some money).  She also brought an amazing under-eye mask (which saved the day after fewer hours of sleep than ideal) and a helpful touch-up kit. In addition to her professionalism, Celia was a pleasure to spend time with throughout the wedding prep.  She even sent me recommendations for Maui after learning I was headed there for my honeymoon.  I would highly recommend working with Celia (and, regardless of your makeup artist, taking the time to do a trial before the big day :)

This goes out to Maria and Adrienne! THEY ARE SO AMAZING AT WHAT THEY DO!!! I found these lovely…read moreladies via Thumbtack and from the beginning, both were so kind and responsive. Maria did my trial and she literally has transformed the way I do makeup. She showed me what tightlining is, which seriously has given me so much confidence. I never knew why top eyeliner was a struggle for me. No matter how thin the line was, it still took over my eyelid. I have explained this to makeup artists before, but they just continued on with the eyeliner, which made me self-conscious, like one single black line takes up my whole eyelid. Maria explained to me that the shape of my hooded eyelids would benefit from tightlining, which is putting eyeliner on the upper lash line, instead of on top of it. WOW! I feel like a new person. I do it myself now and I just can't believe I never knew about it before. During the trial, I absolutely adored Maria, but I kept falling for her as she was just so respectful. She told me what the next steps were and asked if I'd like to see myself. Other trials felt rushed and I never saw myself until the end. She was so respectful of how I wanted to look: natural and probably even a bit bare as a bride. But she made me look like a better version of my usual self! Leading up to the wedding, Maria checked in and had us send our looks and preferences. I loved this as I was paranoid about not staying on track that day. I loved that she wanted to be so prepared. The wedding was chaotic, we just had a lot of people and unexpected situations arise, like high winds. Maria was patient and never made me feel like, "Hello, we gotta get this show on the road." She made sure I ate and every time I was scatterbrained on the chair, she let me do my thing! I just felt so accepted by her! My friends and I all got so many compliments and it's really more a compliment to Maria and Adrienne and their amazing skills! Last thing I'll say is that Maria also made sure to get some great photos of us! They're the "model" ones in the chair. This was one of my favorite parts and we wouldn't have thought to do them at all! Maria and Adrienne were one of the best vendors I went with for our wedding; I was always so worry-free and I know you will be, too. If I ever get my makeup done, it's going to be by Maria, if she will have me again!

You won't be disappointed.
