Brushed by an angel, an angel name Ngan. She is a heaven send!…read more I've found Ngan through one of the FB Wedding groups and after seeing her reviews, Instagram, and website, I reached out to schedule a hair and make up trial. I already knew from the beginning that Ngan was going to be great to work with - she was friendly and personable and it felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend, to be honest. Ngan was not only patient with me through my trial as she listened to my concerns and worked with me who has 0 knowledge about make up, but she provided suggestions and ideas based on my skin tone and likes and dislikes. My mother also did a separate hair trial with Ngan because she had some concerns if she would be able to get her hair in a bun since she had some bald spots she wanted to cover with thin hair and Ngan was able to reassure her and get to work to make her feel good. Coordinating a time and place for both the trial and the actual wedding day was very easy to do. Ngan and her assistant arrived on the morning of wedding in a timely manner and got to work right away. My bridal party looked and felt amazing which was very important to me. My hair and make up looked perfect - Ngan did a fantastic job. Even though we went through a trial already a few months back, she reiterated what we went through, what we agreed on, and asked if there was any changes to the plan. She worked with me and my thinner eyebrows and I have to toot my own horn and say I looked fantastic. Overall, I would highly recommend Ngan for any special occasion - whether it's a wedding, an engagement party, or a "just because I deserve it" day. Her communication is on point, she's patient and kind, and open to any concerns you may have. My hair stayed in place the entire day and my make up turned out great in the photos.

I had a great experience with Ngan for my recent wedding. She is super sweet and friendly, fast to…read morerespond to emails, puts you at ease, and pays attention to details! We had some miscommunication/issues with scheduling the trial run but it ended up working out. Ngan went through the inspo makeup and hair pics I had sent her and we discussed what colors/styles I liked. She gave great recommendations on what complemented my facial structures. During the day of the wedding, Ngan and her team arrived on time to set up and get started. I LOVED the way my makeup and hair turned out and my girls also looked amazing! Ngan gave me a little bit of the lip products she used so that I could touch up throughout the day, and my makeup and hair stayed put throughout the whole whole day. Thank you so much Ngan!

Vivi did my makeup at a friend's wedding, and then I contacted her for my bridesmaids. The week…read moreprior to the wedding we made a good plan for how to schedule the bridesmaids before the call time. She came promptly on time and got straight to work. She also gave me an email to send to the bridesmaids before on how to prep their skin and hair. She worked well with everyone and kept the atmosphere light. She is incredibly reliable. She knows how to work with different tones of skins, hair texture/length, and different looks. My bridesmaids looked gorgeous!

What's a socal girl to do when her engagement photoshoot is in norcal? Look for a hair and makeup…read moreartist, of course! My fiance and I decided to do a 2-day photoshoot at our alma mater (where we first met), and Vivi was my hair and makeup artist for both days as well as the trial session. I found Vivi through Yelp, took a look at her work, loved it, and e-mailed her for a quote of her prices. Vivi was very quick to reply whenever I e-mailed her and she was very flexible with her scheduling. She was one of the few hair and makeup artists who were able to do my hair and makeup for both days of the photoshoot. We collaborated over a few weeks about different hair styles/looks I was going for for each day of the photoshoot. I created a Pinterest board with pins for her to look at ahead of time. Her prices are very reasonable, compared to other hair and makeup artists in the bay area, yet the quality of her work is well worth the price! My photographer was surprised when he found out how much I had paid for the trial and 2 days of hair and makeup! Keep in mind, it's cash only though! My skin tends to break out after using makeup, but my skin did not break out at all after the trial session and two photoshoot days! I was shocked! The makeup also lasted all day for my trial and my photoshoot. Although my hair is thick and long, Vivi styled it very well. My hair looked just like my Pinterest pins, and it held very well against the strong SF wind! At the end of the first photoshoot day in SF, my hair style and curls were still intact and on point (I have straight Asian hair). Although the trial and photoshoot hair and makeup sessions took place at her home studio, everything was neat and clean. She also played some music during the sessions, which made me more relaxed. She also offered me a room to change to my photoshoot dress, which was super helpful, especially since my photographer, my fiance, and I were on a time crunch. Despite the hair and makeup session being in Berkeley, parking was easy peasy. Vivi offered parking on her driveway (you just need to park closer to her side of the yard). Street parking is also available but is limited to 2 hours. If you're doing an early hair and makeup session like I had to for one of my days, there is a coffee shop across the street. Super convenient to get your hair and makeup done then run across the street to get your coffee fix! Thank you Vivi for the amazing work! Just as I flew my photographer to norcal, I am hoping to fly Vivi down to socal for her hair and makeup services on my wedding day! To summarize... +1 Star = Customer Service (Nice, pleasant to work with. Listens to what hair/makeup style you want. Prompt response with e-mail.) +1 Star = Quality of Work (Makeup and hair that lasted several hours and in strong wind. No break outs from makeup used.) +1 Star = Ambiance (Although it's at her home studio, the area was neat and clean. Music played during hair/makeup sessions.) +1 Star = Price (Unbeatable price for quality and amount of work. My photographer was even surprised when I told him how much I had paid for both days!) +1 Star = Parking (Street parking or parking on driveway available. Street parking limit is 2 hours.)

She worked on my hair first. I'm not used to curls since I usually would have straightened my hair instead. I let her choose what she wanted to do as far as my hair and make up. I'm easy and not picky at all. Heck, just getting dolled up was exciting for this Mama! After she curled my hair, she started on my make up. I told her to just do what she does. She took her time and explained what she was doing. I was so excited to see the "end result". When she took my hair down; I loved it! It was so different from what I am used to. Can you say glamorous?! I hardly wear any make up. I'm a pull the hair in a ponytail and put on some lip gloss kinda gal. I was out of my element; but, it felt so great! When I went to pick up my girls I wish I recorded them. Their reaction was so cute and hysterical. My 5 year old had the biggest smile since she loves make up and said, "Mommy!! Oh my God!" She ran up and touched my face. It was hysterical. My 8 year old smiled and said, "You don't look like a Mommy." Uhhhh...okay. Lol. Hazel was so kind and it felt wonderful to get dolled up. Thank you so much and you have such a great set up. I absolutely loved her ring light kit.

I reached out to Hazel via the Knot, I was interested in hiring her for my bridal hair/makeup and requested a trial. Hazel went above and beyond! She had a full day booked ahead of her on the day I requested my trial (my bridal shower) but she made it work. She fit me in extra early because I really wanted to experience the makeup with a full day ahead of me. I loved my makeup and received so many compliments. Fast forward... we are about 3 weeks out to my wedding day and my venue cancels on me due to COVID restrictions. When I told Hazel she was so sympathetic and went above and beyond AGAIN. She reached out to her resources and tried to help locate a new venue that we could possibly book. Luckily we found a venue and Hazel & her team did such a great job with our hair and makeup. I have curly hair and it was so important that my hair was left natural. She executed my vision and my hair stayed in place even into the morning, LOL! Needless to say, is Hazel doesn't just offer great services but you really feel like she becomes a friend. My family even hired her for my niece's birthday photos.

We did a natural-glam look for the bridesmaids and my friends looked so gorgeous. My now mother-in-law wears very little makeup, and Summer was able to give her a gorgeous look and make her feel comfortable despite not being a big makeup-wearer, while on the other hand my mom wanted allll the glam - and she delivered without it looking over the top. Summer is great at navigating each person's look and preferences with confidence and professionalism and can adjust and make tweaks with ease. My husband looked wonderful and his cowlick thankfully stayed put the entire wedding :D If you're looking for someone with experience at destination weddings who can do a variety of styles and bring kind and wonderful energy (I was admittedly a bit stressed first thing in the morning and Summer's calming energy instantly changed my mood), look no further! I highly recommend Wildflower Bride. Thank you Summer for being a part of the best day of my life and making my wedding awesome! Sorry not sorry for all the Taylor Swift songs lol. Erin + Joe

But then I realized - Olivia is too fantastic and phenomenal to not sing her praises immediately. From the moment I met Olivia for my wedding make-up trial, I immediately felt like I had known her my whole life. Olivia has such grace, poise, elegance, and a presence about her that you instantly feel at ease. She listens wholeheartedly and is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. You may be asking yourself, "what do character traits have to do with her skills as a make up artist?" My answer: everything. Olivia puts such thought and carefulness into her work as an artist and ensures that her clients are completely satisfied. She is extremely knowledgeable about the products and is always willing to take the time to educate you. I can honestly say that I have never felt prettier than when Olivia did my make-up for my wedding. Almost every compliment I received that day revolved around my beautiful, glowing skin and how natural it looked. I am not the kind of girl who wears a lot of make-up so I was hesitant in finding a wedding make-up artist that could truly capture who I am and would not turn me into someone or something I did not want to be. So from the absolute bottom of my heart, thank you, Olivia, for being such an integral part of my wedding day. You truly are an incredible artist and wonderful person!

She was so kind, patient and attentive during the entire process. When we set up my first makeup trial, she really took the time to study inspo photos so that we could achieve the exact look I wanted for my wedding day. She even offered to do a second trial on the day of my rehearsal dinner so that we could really dial in the final look! On the day of the wedding, she single-handedly did makeup for my 6 bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law and officiant. She was so on top of things that we were ahead of schedule! She had such a calming & joyful presence which made each person feel so at ease and comfortable. Working with her was such a dream and the best decision I ever made! Thank you, Olivia, for being such a special part of my big day! I will never stop recommending you to any and all who are getting married! xo

She was punctual and got all our make up done with time to spare. Also, I found her prices to be very reasonable.

Tessa was talented, professional, prepared and relaxed on what could have been a stressful morning. Her gentle and chill vibe was so perfect. She was able to understand what I wanted, which was a natural and low-glam look, and deliver. I felt beautiful but still like myself! She would be more than able to create a more glam look if that is what you desire. She was also able to adapt to age differences...I am in my fifties and the others were in their twenties. Tessa used clean/green products, as I requested, as much as possible. She came to my home at 7 in the morning with all of her supplies, ready to go. Tessa is a gem. Book her for your next event and feel like your best self!
