Also she was wearing a mask the whole time which made me feel better about the overall experience. read more

Ninah is an absolute joy! She is someone who brought such a peaceful and beautiful energy to my wedding day and fit right in with my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. She was so thoughtful about everything I shared that I wanted for my hair and makeup and did it perfectly with amazing skincare prep as a base for flawless makeup. Best of all, I felt like the most beautiful version of myself not overly done, which is what I wanted. I can't recommend Ninah enough she is EVERYTHING! read more

Ninahwee - Hair and makeup services - Makeup Artists Near Me

Great Service! The hair and the makeup is really high quality and fit my criteria of what I like.

I loved everything about Nina! She's warm, funny, and she just seems like one of those people that you've met before. She did my hair and makeup for my October 2019 wedding and I'm so glad I was able to work with her! I have THICK, natural 4c hair and I wanted to wear my natural hair at my wedding. I was having issues finding a hair stylist that could and would work with natural kinky hair. My hair was no problem for Nina; she created a beautiful updo and perfectly incorporated a headpiece (which she suggested) and my veil. I loved my makeup, so glam and feminine. I would definitely work with her again! read more

I chose Nina as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in December 2019, because of her obvious talent and versatility. So many times while searching for the right artist I came across portfolios with photos of women who all looked the same. When I found Nina's website and saw her work I was confident that she would be able to handle my diverse family and friends. One size does not fit all and Nina knows that! My bridesmaids and I looked and felt beautiful and all night everyone complemented my look. Flawless! Nina understood my vision, gave me tips and advice when needed, but was never pushy. I always felt at ease around her. You get what you pay for people, and Nina is WORTH IT read more

Ninahwee - Hair & makeup by Nina, photo by Nichols Photography - Makeup Artists Near Me

If you are looking for a makeup artist I am telling you Ninah is the one! Ninah did my hair and makeup for my wedding and her assistant did the makeup for my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their looks! She truly made me feel like a princess that day, I had to hold back tears when I looked in the mirror. Not only was the hair and makeup beautiful, but Ninah really listened to what I wanted and made sure to give it to me (and more!) and this was with no trial run because I live so far away, she worked her magic right then and there and I gave her my full trust. And besides the hair and makeup, Ninah was so sweet and caring, she was majorly calming me down. I think if she wasn't there I would have had a nervous breakdown to be honest! I want to give a shout out to her assistant too (unfortunately I forgot her name) she was awesome! Can't wait to add pictures from the photographer! read more

Ninahwee - Makeup Artists Near Me

Wow, where do I begin? lol. ..Well, one thing I know for sure is that if you are looking for a hair stylist/ make up artist for any formal event such as proms, weddings, black tie events or any celebration Nina is the professional that you want to contact. I was scrolling through yelp looking for a hair stylist in the area that specializes in wedding hairstyles, as I was to attend a family friends wedding in the Bay Area with my husband when I found Nina on yelp. Already having a general idea of what type of hair style I wanted, I contacted Nina and sent her pictures of what I was looking for. Not only was Nina professional, she is extremely personable and very accommodating. I knew immediately that I was going to like her. While speaking with Nina on the phone, she told me that she normally performed her business from home but that she was currently doing some renovations and had asked me if it was possible for her to come to my place instead. Realizing that that actually helped me out in terms of juggling what time my husband and I needed to leave for the wedding in the bay area I was happy to hear that she could and was willing to come to me in my home. Nina's appointment with me for hair and make-up took about 2 hours, and that time just flew by as we talked about a multitude of things such as the complexity of doing different hairstyles on different ethnicities as well as the dedication to learn the ever adapting art of doing makeup in different styles for differ skin types. I've been told that I have what is called "Japanese hair" which is thick, full bodied but has a touch of natural wave and frizz to it (especially in the dry seasons) I had apologized to Nina for my "unruly hot mess" as I like to call it lol and that I wished that I was blessed with "beautiful manageable straight Asian hair", but a las I was not that lucky. But Nina, bless her, she was very kind and reassuring that she would be able to do her magic on me. By the time she was done with my hair and makeup and handed me the mirror, I was completely blown away. I looked and felt like a "million bucks." I never thought I was able to look that beautiful (because I know that I can't do my hair and makeup that well even if I spent weeks on YouTube trying lol) I've found that finding a good hairstylist/ makeup artist can be like finding a good Dr or a good auto mechanic, they are so hard to find and so very few. When you do find one though, you better remember their number and try to grab their services if they're willing and available. That's how valuable they are. I know that if I ever need hair and make up again Nina will always be my go to. If you are reading this and call her for her services, you wont be disappointed. She's a god send. read more

Ninahwee - Makeup Artists Near Me

I am new to the area and didn't know any make-up artist. Luckily, i found Nina in Yelp with impressive reviews from her clients. Nina did my hair and make up during my big day. We also scheduled a trial make up before the wedding which I highly recommended for the brides so that the hairstyle and make up is already agreed and it will go smoothly during the wedding day. I must say that Nina was very patient on the trial day as I didn't have a fixed style in mind but due to Nina's expertise, Nina got what i want and she came up with a hairstyle and make up that will really look good on me and match my gown. I was extremely happy with Nina's work. My husband said i looked gorgeous. read more

Ninah was amazing! She did 7 of my 10 bridesmaid hair for the big day & they turned out beautiful. They were all working with different textures/lengths, yet she was able to master the style on every one of them. She was extremely professional & overall a wonderful stylist! Thank you so much Ninah! read more

Ninahwee - Makeup Artists Near Me

Let me say this! WOW! What a great experience I had with Ninah! She made me look fabulous for my Fab40th photoshoot. I searched everywhere for that one person to make me feel glam for my girlfriends photoshoot.  She was professional and knowledgeable about her work.   I was so relaxed and had so much fun!  I don't wear much makeup so I was worried about someone else doing it but she made me feel very comfortable about the whole process. I felt pretty and the makeup did not feel heavy at all so I was very impressed.  Reading her reviews and seen her work on IG, I knew that I had to message her.   I would definately recommend her!!! You will not be disappointed! I even teared up when I saw myself in the mirror. Guess being emo at almost 40 does that... lol but it was just a great experience for me getting pampered.  Even my friends said the makeup looked natural and Ninah did a great job!!   I got the look I wanted and I was happy!! Thank you so much! read more

Just left Ninah and I knew I already needed to do this review. I had to stop my tears from falling after she was done (I was so afraid I would mess up my makeup) because she did such an awesome job and made me look all glammed up! It is my first time to meet her and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed, almost as if we've known each other for a while! I would HIGHLY recommend Ninah for makeup/hair service! Thank you Ninah for accepting my last minute request and making me feel comfortable! read more

Ninahwee - Hair/Makeup by Ninahwee! - Makeup Artists Near Me

It's super difficult finding an expert who can do bridal makeup and hair (particularly, natural hair) in the Bay Area, so I am so glad that I found Ninah. She is a gem to work with - great positive energy, professional, and most importantly is an amazing stylist. As we all know, weddings can be expensive, and the quote that Ninah provided was quite a bit over my makeup/hair budget. But, I decided that working with her - someone at the level of her expertise, great vibe, and commitment to her craft and client's overall experience - was so worth the extra spend to me. I just simply re-adjusted a couple of other wedding budget items accordingly :) Definitely recommend working with Ninah. read more

I found Nina via yelp and I am so happy I did! I needed my make up for a themed party and she did such an amazing job! I don't normally wear make up so this was such a treat! I will be contacting her again in the future! read more

Thank you very much, Ninah, for the wonderful experience! read more

First let me say: you better hire this amazing woman to do your hair and make-up for any event you have!!!! Seriously stop your search and book her! I can't say enough amazing things about her!! From the moment she walked into my hotel room for our trial (both hair and make-up) - until the moment she left, I felt like I was with my sister. She made me feel comfortable instantly and we had such a great Time. She is the ultimate professional and completely knows what she is doing. She works fast and diligently and just does amazing work. AND - she listens to her client!! Which is so important, especially for me as a bride. We worked together to come up with my look and booooy did she execute it to perfection. Even better than I could have imagined!! One thing I also loved is for my make-up, we did one look in 1 eye, and another look on the 2nd eye. It gave me a chance to decide which I liked better. And for me hair...it was STUNNING!!! Exactly what I wanted. I honestly can't wait for the wedding day because not only will it be a blast with Her, but I know I'll look awesome too. Oh and btw - I don't have a wedding party but when my best friends saw my make-up, 3 of them requested that Ninahwee does theirs as well!! read more

I am a normal, 50-year-old woman who wanted to look "natural but nice" for a special wedding I was officiating. The time I had with Nina was not only perfection in the result but a lovely, uplifting and fun experience. My hair looked perfect. She got some volume up in there and did "beach waves" which held on for at least 6 hours perfectly. And the make up! My skin was outstanding-people said I looked like I was glowing. I wanted my eyes to not have too much on them but also look slightly larger and her addition of eyelashes was a really fun experience for me. Basically I wore makeup and eyelashes and curled hair for about 6-7 hours and looked great the entire time. And Nina is a lot of fun. If I l lived in the area, I'd go back just to have some pampering and feel good about myself! read more

What can I say that will do justice for Ninahwee.... when I tell you she made me look stunning before, after and DURING my wedding it's an understatement! She herself is stunning and simply a pure delight to know and work with. If you are in the Bay Area or anywhere else in this world do yourself a favor and have your hair and makeup done by Ninahwee. Even if it's just because it's Wednesday I promise you it is worth it.... read more

I have used Nina's services for multiple occasions. When I need a professional to do my makeup I call Nina! She is responsive. Her fee is fair for the quality of service she provides. She is very creative with her makeup looks and I do not mind. I have gone to MAC and Sephora before and have been consistently disappointed. Nina does not apply the same basic method on everyone's face. For my last event, Nina did my makeup along with my sister and mom's, and all 3 of us had different looks. WE LOVE NINA! read more

I have never looked so good in my life! I hired Ninah and her team for Hair and Makeup for my wedding on June 2, 2018. They were professional, fast, funny, stayed on schedule, and did an excellent job. I had a test-drive appointment a few months prior where I was able to figure out what look I wanted and Ninah could get used to my skin and skin type. She made some excellent recommendations for my skin care (which I am still following) and helped me prep my skin for the big day. Day of, Ninah was there throughout the getting ready process and touched up my makeup whenever needed (which was a lot because I kept crying). She also was available through the ceremony and touched up my makeup before the family photos. Overall, I was very happy with Ninah and her team. Thank you!! read more

Ninahwee - Makeup Artists Near Me

Ninah was very accommodating and very considerate as well. What I loved the most is that she was so friendly, it seemed like I've known her for years (this was my first appointment with her). I also loved that whenever she applied something on my hair and face she made sure I was aware of it and was okay with the direction she was going. Lastly, she asked if I was allergic to anything and it was such a surprise because I've never come across a stylist who considered any effects that may happen. Thank you so much Ninah for taking care of my on my grad day!!! I truly, truly, truly appreciate it!! 100% recommended! read more

I absolutely love Ninahwee! She does magic with make up.I have totally switched over from "M.A.C."to "Motives" which is the line she uses. My makeup used to get so shiny and come off in the middle of the day. Not anymore! My foundation stays on all day...I use the custom blend, this allows me to add extra "Matte" to my make up and control the oil content. I really recommend Ninahwee to everyone and anyone. read more

I had the pleasure of having makeup done by Alexis for professional headshots that turned out beautifully. I also had a makeup lesson with Ninah, which was very thorough, professional, and I'll be returning for Part 2 lesson. Ninah and the artists she works with are super talented. There's a reason for all the 5-Star ratings, including this one. read more

Where to even start.. I recently got married on August 12th and was looking for a hair stylist that specializes in wedding hair. I did a trial at a shop in Antioch by someone who I will leave unnamed. I was dissatisfied and completely upset. I sat in her chair for about three hours and went home with my hair looking worse than when I came in.. But then I was referred to Ninah. Ninah is a miracle worker!! After completely falling in love with my wedding hair trial I wasted no time and booked Ninah for my wedding day. Ninah was able to create a beautiful master piece! I absolutely loved my wedding hair! Her work is very professional and polished. She knows what she's doing and is very good at it! read more

Loved Ninahwee's work and professionalism. I've done my makeup at Sephora and Mac in the past but I never loved my makeup as much as I loved it when Ninahwee did it! She also offers to come to your location for a small fee. I would absolutely do my make up there again! read more

I have known Ninaj for over 20 years and she has always been talented with hair and make up. I am so happy she stepped out on faith and started her own business doing something she absolutely loves. She is good at what she does and very professional. I have referred her to many. Tonight she is doing my daughter's makeup for prom. She knows just the right touch and color each person needs. She knows how to make you look like yourself, enhanced without looking fake. Just natural. I am pleased with her work and will definitely refer her. Thank you NINAH. Love you...# read more

Ninah changed my outlook on the way look at myself! She knows and understand the importance skin care first. The makeup just enhances the beauty. I have skin issues with hyperpigmentation and large pores. She recommended skincare products and showed me how to properly cover my hyperpigmentation. I didn't think it was possible because I had been to MAC and Sephora before and they could not show me how to cover it properly, but Ninah worked a MIRACLE! Now I can leave the house feeling confident! I will be doing more one on one's with her regularly so I can learn as much as I can. She is incredibly talented and I would advise anyone to go to her. Thanks Ninah! read more

Nina is an amazing hair stylest. She helped me out in a pinch and I highly recommend her. I was getting married in a couple of weeks and needed someone to do my mom's hair as she uses a walker and is unsteady on her feet and can't drive to a salon and I don't live in the same area as my mom. Nina made time to come to my mom's house the morning of my wedding even though she was fully booked she found time to fix my mom's hair for the wedding and did an amazing job. My mom was very happy and this took a lot of stress off my plate which I deeply appreciated. Nina is a sweet and caring woman who is there when you need her. If you need someone to do your hair for your event, someone you can count on Nina is the one to call. Amazing is all I can say about her! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Ninah on multiple occasions for my wedding, and each one extremely exceeded my expectations. I had two makeup trials with Ninah before my big day, and she really took her time to listen to all my needs and wants, which resulted in the most amazing makeup I have ever had. Also, her happy, warm, and spunky attitude really lights up a room, and I knew I had to have her for do my makeup on my wedding day. I usually hate getting my makeup done because I turn out looking like a completely different person, and that is all I wanted for my wedding, was to look like the best version of myself. Ninah extenuated all the right areas on my face, and made me look even better than I could have imagined. On my wedding day, she really took her time to beautify me, and the result even took my breath away. I really felt like a princess, and it was majorly thanks to her. I would recommend Ninah 1000x over again, and am already thinking of another occasion for me to use her and her team. read more

So...Ninah is the only person that I trust to do my makeup. She recently did my makeup and hair for my birthday dinner and I was so happy with my results. She enhanced my beauty and made me the most happiest person! I love that I didn't look fake and unnatural. It was so natural that I didn't want to take it off!! She came to me and we talked about everything under the sun! She is super funny and bubbly! Her energy is amazing and she is uber talented in her craft. I can't wait for my next occasion so that I can use her again. By the way, 3 days later and I am still getting mad complements on my hair. Thank you Ninah for making my day sooooo special. Peace n blessings. P.S. I recommend her for all occasions!! She knows her stuff! read more

Thank you Ninah once again!! read more

Ninah is AMAZING! I had a wedding hair and makeup trial with multiple people and was disappointed with the results, due to makeup application/ wrong color foundation and frizzy hair. Going into another wedding trial, I was skeptical not knowing how it would go. Ninah was down to earth, personable and listened. She is very skilled in her work of art, she enhanced my natural beauty and made me feel confident in my look. I walked out feeling like a celebrity. I enjoyed my very pleasant experience with Ninah and plan to use her services. read more

I got married several months ago on July 16th, 2016. After seeing several pictures of my FB and IG friends with their makeup done by Ninah, I immediately knew that she was the makeup artist I wanted for my wedding. My experience with her went above and beyond my expectations. The way she conducted business was professional, yet personable at the same time. Before the wedding, we met to go over the makeup details for my wedding. She was attentive to my needs, and made sure she had a clear understanding of the look I was trying to achieve well before the wedding date. Her environment was clean, warm, and inviting, and her products were of great quality. On the day of the wedding, I ran into a few issues, but she was extremely understanding and did what she could to make sure I was accommodated and taken care of. Ninahwee started off merely as a makeup artist, but by the time my wedding day had come, I felt like I had found a sister or long-lost friend. She is one of the best in this Northern California area, and I look forward to having her do my makeup again! read more
