15/10 recommend BOL for your wedding. I am a SAPPY person and cried probably every 10 min for 3-4 hours at my wedding and my makeup looked truly flawless all night. Nicole was incredible, gave me the exact look I wanted, and somehow made it last through so many happy tears and some very sweaty dancing lol. Carmine also did an immaculate job with my hair and gave me the most elegant and stunning updo that looked perfect and lasted through crowd surfing, club after party, etc without falling out at all. These folks are professionals, y’all.

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
Amanda did my bridal makeup on my wedding day. We did a trial together and I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, only that I wanted to look like an elevated version of my everyday self. She guided me seamlessly through the process until we landed on the look. Then, day of, she executed what we decided on during the trial beautifully. And stayed on schedule. Also, genuinely a nice person and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 recommend!

She was so flexible and creative, even my MOL who was not going to get her hair done decided to after seeing what Kelsey could accomplish! My hair is extremely fine and prone to knotting, so I was nervous to do a half up/half down with extensions but Kelsey's technique and products kept my curls afloat and tangle-free through countless hugs, dancing, and a convertible ride home. She brought amazing vibes to the morning, keeping everyone in good spirits. Thank you for everything Kelsey!

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

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!

Makeup artistry is a passion for me. I love being a part of such a special day! With years of experience, I love working with my clients to create their desired look that will leave them feeling beautiful and confident. I am an on location MUA which means I go to you! I believe all brides should feel pampered and worry free on their big day!

I am a minimal makeup girly but when my wedding day was coming up, I wasn't sure whether I should go the DIY route (as was most of my wedding), until a friend recommended Santana. Makeup by Santana was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very beginning, Santana's communication was clear, consistent, and she was open to my ideas, while also helping me narrow down and paint the picture of the look I was going for. Santana asked thoughtful questions during our trial makeup and then again on wedding day about the looks we had discussed prior, but was she was also assertive in guiding me towards the perfect beauty look (i.e., making minor changes such as lashes and asking if I was still okay with a certain look, color, etc.). On the day of, Santana made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to work her magic and create a flawless makeup application that lasted all night long. The quality of Santana's work was truly exceptional and worth every penny - I've never felt more glamorous! I would highly recommend Makeup by Santana to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and communicative beauty team to be part of their special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tiffany and her team (Jerilyn and Monique) are absolute rockstars! Tiffany was recommended to me by my photographer for my San Francisco City Hall wedding. From the beginning, Tiffany was proactive with communication and helped me understand the process to prepare my skin and hair for such a big event. I personally did not feel the need to do a trial hair/makeup appointment beforehand, which personally worked great for me as Tiffany was fully able to execute my vision! The morning of my City Hall ceremony (which was 9am, so we started early!), Tiffany came well prepared and brought a soothing presence. Beyond just my hair and makeup, she and her team also provided services to my mom and four bridesmaids. Everyone felt that our hair and makeup suited us so well, and the approach of our natural beauty, but elevated, really shone through. The day after my City Hall ceremony, my partner and I also had a Hindu wedding ceremony in the South Bay. We had some schedule changes *literally* one week before the event, and I realized I needed extra hair and makeup support for myself and my mom. I reached out to Tiffany to see if she was possibly free on such short notice, and she was! While her specialty is in "natural beauty, but elevated", I had a very different vision for this day that was more "glam". She absolutely delivered, and I could not stop looking at my reflection! I felt at my most beautiful. Two days in a row (and the two most important days of my life!), Tiffany and her wonderful team helped get my hair and makeup ready for both ceremonies and made sure everything would last long days with photos. I am so grateful to Tiffany and her team for making each early morning calm, organized, and efficient while making me feel absolutely gorgeous. Thank you!!

I was a bit nervous initially because I don’t really know much about makeup and hair, but she reassured me that we would create a look that I’m comfortable with and looks great. At my preview we went over everything we discussed during my call and she executed my look perfectly. I’ve LITERALLY never looked better!! I was glammed up but my skin looked so buttery and smooth, never cakey. On my wedding day Raven, Keziah(?) and two other lovely gals arrived on time and got all 9 of us all done quickly but we never felt rushed.

The day of the wedding I completely changed the style I wanted and she was so accommodating and did such an amazing job. She did all my bridesmaids as well and everyone looked perfect. She is the best!!!

Hi there, I’m Lauren! I am a Bay Area makeup artist that has been in the beauty industry for 5+ years. My signature makeup style is "soft glam" which is suitable for any anyone between natural to glam brides. Working with me as your wedding makeup artist would not only include the makeup application itself but also around the clock email/ text communication from the very beginning of the booking process to the wedding day. My main priority is to ensure you have a smooth booking process with me and a stress-free wedding morning.

I booked Lauren for my sister’s wedding for her (bride), myself and my mom and she did amazing. We told her the style and look we were going for and she exceeded our expectations and so much more, because when I mean she made us look flawless, I mean it. I was taking selfies and so many photo because I felt sooo gorgeous! I loved every product Lauren used on me. I had to write them down and purchase them for myself after! Aside from how beautiful we felt and looked, Lauren was super sweet and professional. She arrived on time and finished us all on time too which is such a big deal for your wedding because the day goes by so quickly. Thank you again, Lauren for making us look and feel so beautiful on my sister’s special day!
