    Bridal hair and makeup
    Angeline L.

    I got married about 3 weeks ago and Cherry did my hair and makeup. She also did my bridesmaids' makeup. I was very happy with the way it turned out. Both my makeup and hair lasted the entire day with little to no touch up needed. I also thought my bridesmaids' looked amazing. Cherry was also helpful in reminding me to take my dress out of the garment bag about 2 hours before I planned to wear it to give it ample time to poof up. We were getting ready at the hotel and I planned to have some getting ready photos taken with the photography team. She gave me the amazing advice to call housekeeping prior to photos to have the room cleaned. Overall extremely happy with my experience and would definitely recommend Cherry to my loved ones!

    I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband as part of his wedding gift and came across Cherry's work and decided to book a boudoir session. She is extremely talented in makeup, hair and photography. She's small but mighty! Lol she's professional and such a sweetheart and made me feel comfortable during the whole process. I highly recommend Cherry for your beauty and photography needs!

    Thanks to Cherry for making me feel truly beautiful for maybe the first time in my life. I got married last month and I have always been self conscious about my looks so wedding makeup and hair were very important to me. I am a shy person and the thought of having all eyes on me made me very nervous. Cherry gave me the vintage glam look that I always dreamed of rocking on my wedding day and a month later I still have people telling me how beautiful I looked and asking who did my makeup!

    I had a charity event where costume was encouraged, and I'd asked my regular makeup artist, who explained that theater makeup was so specialized that I would be lucky to find someone - and I WAS so lucky to have found Cherry. An amazing makeup artist who was able to make me look exactly like the character in the show. Having perfect makeup made me so confident that it was probably the best gala I've ever attended. I'll be using Cherry for every event I attend for the rest of my days. Thank you!

    A super overdue review!!! Here's a list of my pros and cons, based on my experiences. Since I've used Sessions Makeup and Cherry on at least 3 separate occasions, it's about time I paid back the love. (FYI: The types of looks I've booked her for were: Photoshoot, similar to a wedding/engagement shoot; Pinup/40s; Pageant.) PROS: Cherry is full service. She does have a salon in the OC, but she will come to you. She's a mini hurricane of magic, not only for makeup, but hair. She literally brings a studio complete with makeup chair all by herself. And then transforms you. Amazing. She waits! Any event or shoot I've been on that she was able to travel to, she stuck around to do touch ups. I've only experienced that twice, and it's amazing when the artist makes sure you look good for the entire 4-5 hour event. She's definitely a perfectionist when it comes to her work. She also assisted backstage for the pageant with all my quick changes (from full ball gown to swimsuit and full hairdo change in three minutes total!) when she totally wasn't getting paid for that awful stress. She's weirdly prepped for any horrible circumstance. And patiently so. For my pageant, because of high security and my bonehead self forgetting our wrist bands, she had to do full pageant makeup AND hair (this can be more serious than wedding makeup, mind you) in the parking lot!!! No shame, she had her game face on and made me feel like laughing instead of crying. I had a really horrible year last year. My skin showed it. It was scaly and parched. I also had really heavy bags under my eyes. My Photoshoot, my pinup modeling shoot and my entire pageant wouldn't let you know any of this. She covered it all up and I still can't tell you how. I have a really odd face, with strange proportions and weird shapes. Cherry is still the only MUA out of the twenty or more I've worked with who has EVER gotten it right. She studies the face and brings out what should be brought out and lets ppl look natural yet prettier in their features. Mom might not have blessed me with her looks but Cherry makes it seem that way. My makeup has lasted on every occasion over 12 hours. This is a CON as well, so please read on. Her fees are beyond reasonable. For the quality of her work, I'm shocked at what she's allowed me to get away with. She has great communication. She remembers if you've attempted to book her but didn't lock it down. She follows up when life gets too busy and you forget. Her energy is insatiably bubbly and fun!! She works on boys!!!!! Believe it or not, this is a really necessary component for any men who plan on being in a shoot of any kind. Her work is subtle yet makes the face pop on camera. I think she truly loves what she does and intends to create art, not make money from this. That being said, I know she uses top of the line makeup and tools, so it can't be cheap. She's also up-to-date with the newest makeup from all over the world and uses well-tested, exotic products you'd never get to use. Any girls afflicted with the Asian Eyes (my epithelial folds are slightly recessed, so i barely have a double eyelid), you'll be elated to know she can transform that, but with making the eye gorgeous, not fake, drawn or strange. She's really diverse. She works on every race so far that I've seen and brings out their features but makes their heritage stick out. (White, Asian, Latina, and I think I've seen her work on an African-American model too!) I've really only seen her work on young models and beauty queens, but I can only imagine what she can do for any age. CONS She usually books up really fast. If you want perfect wedding makeup, I'd book her fast during the wedding season. I was crushed when she wasn't available for something really important. Instead, she actually worked with me and smashed me in really early just to accommodate me. When I said earlier that it was a CON that her makeup lasted over 12 hours, it really is. It actually lasts 24 hours, which I used to my advantage. This is full disclosure here and Cherry doesn't actually know this but I do have to share. For the pageant, I was asked to return the following night to perform as the opening number for another pageant. I freaked out. I couldn't hire Cherry again. I didn't know what to do. So I KEPT MY MAKEUP ON. I went through an entire day of two hours of sleep, lots of alcohol and celebrating post-pageant, a massage, and tons of baked goods. My face was totally in tact. I'm only sharing this to let you know I was able to get back on that stage with no touchups and open this huge production, still looking pristine. I kid you not, 27 hours after application, I finally fell apart, and looked as gross as I should've after what I had done to myself before that. Conclusion: Personally, she's my go-to for any event or shoot. She's also become the trusted MUA of my closest friends and designers I work for for their fashion shows and photoshoots.

    Pinup shoot
    Linda V.

    Cherry is one of the best MUA and Photographer in OC for Pinup! I went to her for my 29th birthday photos and she made me look amazing. I came in with really messed up eyebrows(LOL) but she took care of me and got them back on point for my pictures. She definitely takes her time and listens to what you vision is and then she brings it to life. I was a bit insecure going into this because I'm in the middle of a body transformation. But O.M.G! the complements I've been receiving has been amazing! Cherry definitely made me feel super beautiful and comfortable during the shoot! The end result exceeded my expectations. I'm definitely coming back for my 30th pictures!

    Hi, how much to do makeup and hair for bride and bridesmaids (possibly 6)?

    Every artist prices are different. There is no universal pricing for bride and bridesmaid’s hair and makeup. Message me and I will be happy to send you my pricing so you can compare. :)

All of us looked AMAZING! I felt she knows that perfect balance between looking beautifully made up and looking natural. I normally do not wear make-up and was really worried I would feel fake and not like myself on my wedding day. The opposite ended up being true. Now I wish I could have her come to my house every day to do my make-up. Even my husband, who never notices make up, told me it looked beautiful. She has amazing prices and is a very sweet, and professional lady. If you have a big occasion coming up, make sure to hire her to do your makeup, you won't be disappointed!

I said I wanted to look like myself, but just better, and that is exactly what she gave me. I didn't need to do any touch ups (with the exception of lipstick) and I looked natural and appropriate (it was a garden wedding and she gave me the perfect dewy sun kissed look). The Makeup looked just as good at the end of the night as it did at the start! She was a joy to work with. She showed up on time, listened to what i wanted, gave me the chance to make changes (which I didn't because she did amazing work) and was just all around pleasant and easy to work with. She was totally affordable given that she comes to you.

She's done makeup for weddings I've attended, my maternity shot, my baby shower, my birthday, parties AND I've taken her one-on-one makeup class. I highly recommend taking a makeup class with her. She was so patient with me throughout the session and went through what to use, how to use it and when to use it. I brought all my brushes and makeup I had or used on the daily. She pulled aside the makeup and brushes that worked and didn't work for my face. She taught me what a base was and how it's necessary for long lasting makeup. Class included how to apply skin care and makeup for my skin type. At the end of class she broke down skin care and makeup items to purchase that would work better or I would needed to complete certain looks to buy at my leisure. The class was very much tailored to me and my needs. Super thankful to Tiffany for all the help and love she's shown me over the years. She left me feeling confident in the makeup she's done on me and given me confidence in my own ability at home. I know have my signature makeup look I use everyday because of her. 10/10

I reached out via email and her assistant Jenn, who was an absolute pleasure to speak with, took down my details and told me she would check their team's schedules and let me know if they could accommodate me. I heard back within a couple of hours that they could take me! We took care of the final details (time, inspo pics, and the artist assigned to me) and i was all set. I received the location details and instructions for parking a day or so before my appointment, and the day i arrived, Meg was kind enough to guide me into the parking structure at her studio location. Her studio is LOVELY. I was welcomed warmly by Meg and her adorable rockstar pups! She asked if my mom and I were ok with them, and OF COURSE! She was SO COOL! She played really cool music, and even offered us a beverage. We had super pleasant conversation and her work...baby, her WORK...Meg is like supremely gifted. I'd sent the inspo pics, as I mentioned before, and Meg's art exceeded my expectations. She was able to tailor the look to my face shape and my features. I'd taken care of all the other details (dress, shoes, hair, mani/pedi, accessories) and I still felt uneasy right up until i sat in her chair. When i saw her finished work, all the anxiety just melted away. I was THRILLED, and couldn't thank her enough. If you are in need of makeup and hair ANYWHERE in L.A., GET TO BOOKIN' MEG O'HARE BEAUTY!!! Sidebar: Jenn, I thank you SO MUCH for putting in a good word for me!!! Meg says YOU are the reason she accepted my booking!!! You guys are THE BEST!! I cannot wait until the next time I get to work with you!!
