    I am so happy with Chelsea and Corey's work for my wedding! Chelsea completely understood what I was looking for out of my hair and makeup. Corey and Chelsea both helped my wedding party feel so beautiful and also comfortable in their hair and makeup. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with

    Chelsea and her assistant did such a great job on our wedding day. She originally had two assistants but one had a family emergency and so she only had two which stressed me out a little and on top of that my bridesmaids and I started 15 minutes late because we got there a little late. So a little time crunch turned into eventually they ran almost 40 mins behind our planned schedule..BUT we still managed. I could tell she was rushing on me a little but it really didn't matter because she did such a good job. Best part is her and her assistant totally played it cool and didn't show stress on their own faces. Overall everyone was happy and it all turned out totally fine. She's also the only reasonably priced bridal hair/makeup in Portland so that amazing. She's pretty much a one-woman business and that kind of shows - but overall I'd totally recommend her!

    Chelsea did my makeup for my goth princess Halloween costume and it came out AMAZING. Beyond expectations...very pleased :) She also snuck me in her schedule last minute when another makeup artist cancelled on me. I would def hire Chelsea again.

    Took payment and have fully disappeared without providing any service. Thankfully, we have time to react before the wedding.

Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

That being said, we could not be happier with the service, the makeup and the time we spent with Nikki. She was beyond amazing in every way. She was punctual, personable and amazing at taking what we wanted and making it work for the outside space we were spending our 'big day' in. I got so many incredible compliments on the work that Nikki did and I literally can't imagine having any one else there with me doing my hair or makeup. She's one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone! I have to add, Nikki was incredible with the way she communicated with us. She never let an email go more than 12 hours before following up and I never felt like I wasn't her #1 priority!

She understood exactly what we were looking for before we could even articulate it and we both have never felt more beautiful and like ourselves than on our wedding day. We love you, Nikki!!

I really appreciated the smooth communication all the way through - they were so kind and patient with all my questions and concerns. Anny and Andy are both very talented and precise. They have ALL the skills and dedication to make you look and feel beautiful. I was looking for a really natural makeup look, and an updo with lots of texture. I was definitely nervous about the makeup piece since I basically don't wear much more than mascara, but Anny nailed it - I felt weightless and beautiful and most of all like MYSELF the entire day. My hair was a work of art as well - I hope Andy is proud of what he created because I LOVED it. I have to also mention that the two of them have a great dynamic - they work very smoothly together and definitely made me feel at ease, and when my wedding day arrived they were just the calming presence I needed. Could not have wished for more.

I don't own or wear make-up, so for events, I have to go get it done. Oh, and I've had it DONE! Even with the compliments, I hated it because I didn't look like myself. It felt foreign and I would often feel quite uncomfortable. For my elopement ceremony last summer, I wanted to look like myself, except with better skin. I wanted to be comfortable with myself. Anny's portfolio was appealing to me, because it had a variety of looks, including the "natural look", the one I wanted. We had a super intimate ceremony over brunch. The venue was great, but didn't give us a lot of extra time to prepare. Anny and Andy came through! With Anny on make-up and Andy on hair, they made my mother and I feel beautiful and natural, and they did it in record time. I was comfortable the entire day. And yes, I felt pretty on my wedding day.

    This is a long overdue review. Meaganne did my hair/makeup for both my engagement shots and my…read morewedding a few years back. She did an amazing job. I loved her philosophy - which is to make her clients look like the best version of themselves, as opposed to caking on makeup in a way a bride would probably regret - and thought she executed it perfectly. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and thought my makeup looked 100 in the wedding photos. Equally important, she made me feel totally at ease both times we worked together, was very open to feedback, and was just plain fun to hang out with. For brides who aren't getting married in SF proper, Meaganne is willing to travel, which was super helpful. My wedding was in Los Gatos, and Meaganne didn't bat an eye making the hour+ drive, and navigating her way to our off-the-beaten-path venue. I think she may charge a small fee if she needs to travel more than a certain number of miles, but it was nominal and on par with what other makeup artists charge. I highly recommend Meaganne for your hair and makeup needs!

I had trial sessions with a couple other professionals in San Francisco, but once I met with Meaganne, I was hooked. I'm pretty picky about makeup - I don't wear foundation and HATE the feeling of having something caked on. But Meaganne knew exactly what to do to make me feel natural, confident, and ready to get married! She makes you feel and look like yourself and not some made up version of a typical bride. When I found out she also did hair, I gave her a try and loved every style she tested on me...it was honestly hard to choose! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and have since given her name to several people. Her prices are incredibly reasonable (far cheaper than the other trials I had), especially considering her level of talent. Not only is Meaganne incredibly talented, but she's a wonderful person to work with. She's kind, patient, and just an all around genuine, amazing person. You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, so I feel it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Meaganne.
