I've been a HMUA for a little over 14 years, worked in the big city (LA) and now back in my hometown raising our 2 littles doing what I love most! I've worked all over the industry! I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old. I've been a bride myself and can attest to the overwhelming mix of emotions that come with planning such an important day. SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so glad that we had Amanda as a part of our wedding day. Amanda was very responsive as soon as we first starting discussing on Zola. I was so glad she was willing to brainstorm and discuss with me on my vision; I especially appreciated that she did not shy away from styling my naturally curly hair. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Amanda and already loved the results. However, she went above and beyond in taking our notes from the trial to make the final look on our wedding day even more elevated! I also loved her touch-up kit and really thoughtful education on how to maintain the look throughout the night. Amanda and her team also did the hair and makeup for my family in the bridal suite. I have heard nothing but amazing feedback about their knowledge, work, and professionalism. The personalization to every individual to make them feel their best was appreciated by everyone. I would 100% recommend working with Amanda!

It was such a huge pleasure having Zayra do my bridal hair and makeup. From the jump, she was so sweet, professional, attentive, and extremely talented. Although I didn’t book a trial run, she absolutely killed it! She saw the vision and executed so well on all ends. The entire process was extremely smooth. Zayra also did hair and makeup for my mother and mother in law, both of which came out just as beautiful. Aside from the work itself, her level of communication was extremely appreciated throughout the entire process through and through. If I had a concern she was open to listening and adjusted as needed. This review has been a long time coming. I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful work, Zayra!!

MUAH makeup and hair

  • Starts at $350

Welcome. Bianca and Katie are a freelance hair and makeup team specializing in weddings and special events. They have been friends for several years and business partners for 12 years. They offer classic and creative hair and makeup looks and the most affordable rates on the Central Coast. They continue their hair and makeup education to bring you the very best and latest beauty trends!

Bianca and Katie, who run MUAH, are absolutely fantastic! From booking, to the trial, to the big day itself, everything was seamless and stress-free. Going into the process of finding a makeup artist, I was nervous about not looking or feeling like myself — I just wanted to feel like “me,” but elevated. The moment I met Bianca, I knew she could make that happen. On my wedding day, I felt stunning — and the very first thing my husband said during our first look was, “OMG, you look like yourself!” (He had been nervous too after hearing some of our friends’ horror stories.) All of my bridesmaids got compliments all night about their hair and makeup, with guests asking where they had it done. The MUAH team even finished ahead of schedule and was able to fit in two extra people for services, which was such a gift. Beyond their incredible talent, Bianca, Katie, and their team were kind, respectful, flexible, and such a joy to be around. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a hair and makeup team in the area — they truly went above and beyond!

My name is Evelin, and I am a licensed cosmetologist who has specialized in professional bridal hairstyling since 2012. I create romantic, polished designs—from soft, modern glam waves to intricately braided updos adorned. Every look is crafted with intention, blending sophistication, and a touch of timeless romance. My approach is deeply personal; I work closely with each bride to design a style that enhances her natural beauty, complements her gown, and lasts from the first look to the final dance. My heart is in making every bride feel beautiful as a whole, not just in the hair, but in the way she carries her entire moment.

Evelin and her team got me through my special, yet chaotic, wedding. They were super efficient, fast, and super detailed. Evelin made me feel like a movie star, executing the vision I had not only for my hair and makeup, but also for my bridesmaids. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced hair and makeup artist for their wedding. You won't regret it! She takes great pride in what she does and ensures you won't be dissatisfied. A

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Creating a calm, personalized, and fully supportive experience for my brides is incredibly important to me from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiffany and her team did such an incredible job on hair and makeup for my wedding, I would definitely recommend her to anyone! To start off, she spent so much time with me for the trial (more than planned), making sure we had a chance to try a couple different things without any rush, which was so helpful. On my actual wedding day I loved everything she did, and my new husband said I looked like a movie star! I liked the trial looks when we did them, and Tiffany genuinely listened and understood what I wanted to tweak. When the big day came and we had the details set from the beginning, everything came out looking even better. She specializes in a natural-but-enhanced look and really nailed it - I didn’t feel or look like I was caked in makeup, I just looked like the absolute best version of myself! Trying to find pictures to include here I struggled to find ones that seemed like they were showing off the makeup - but that's kind of the point. The makeup wasn't super showy (exactly as I wanted), it just made me look really great in every picture! And this is from someone who often doesn't like pictures of myself. The other artists she brought for our officiant and moms (both in the pictures I'm including) also did a great job. They handled mature skin, thick/unruly hair, and curls beautifully. I’ve never seen my mom’s shoulder length curly hair look so good! They were also great company all morning, which is so important.

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was. I highly recommend Lauren for any special occasions or if you just want to feel good! She definitely has a way to hype you up and make you feel gorgeous inside AND out!

If I could give Gracie a 10 star review I would! She was prompt, attentive, easy to talk to and did everything we asked. When I saw my makeup I was in awe! It was everything I had hoped for and more. Our ceremony took place during this heat wave and I can tell you that my face didn't sweat AT ALL! Everyone kept asking me who did my makeup that day and I still continue to get compliments on how perfect it was. I cannot recommend Gracie enough! She made me feel like a model on a day that was so important to me and I will never forget that!
