Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

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

I went back and forth on wedding hair so many times, and I am so grateful I found Kelsey. She’s the perfect mix of warm, sweet, and incredibly meticulous. She truly listens. I kept wavering between an updo and wearing my hair down, and she walked me through what was realistic with my hair, what would complement my dress, and how to achieve the overall vibe I wanted. She brought my exact vision to life — a modern, slightly messy French-twist-inspired updo with soft pieces in the front — and it turned out even better than I imagined. I received so many compliments throughout the night, and best of all, it held up flawlessly through strong wind and hours of dancing. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist. Highly, highly recommend!

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!

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

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.

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!!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: Kim Baker Beauty is fantastic and you should absolutely book them! When looking for a hair & makeup artist, as a queer couple, we were a little apprehensive about finding an artist who would be well-versed in hair & makeup for couples and weddings outside of heteronormative traditions. My partner was a little worried about finding someone who would "get it" in terms of their style--more minimal and masculine--and who wouldn't try to push them into doing a more feminine style. Kim and Audra both totally got it! Kim was super communicative throughout the whole process and was so great to work with. Due to unforeseen circumstances the week of our wedding, Kim couldn't make it--but she immediately organized one of her other artists, Audra, who did a truly superb job. My partner and I both got hair and makeup services. I had a more classic bridal look and my partner had more minimal makeup and their short hair styled. We both absolutely loved the way we looked and felt amazing on our wedding day! We wanted a calm, chill morning while getting ready for our wedding and Audra was lovely, so kind and easy to talk to, and had a very calm energy. Our hair and makeup lasted extremely well throughout the evening, even through hours of dancing! Kim and Audra are total pros and made us feel stunning on our wedding day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

How lucky was I to have found April for my special day! I got in touch with April through a referral from a friend who had nothing but good things to say about their experience. My initial consult made me feel more at ease and helped me decide what look to go with since it can be overwhelming! I also opted to see April to get my hair cut and colored right before the wedding, and felt confident and pretty, and enjoyed getting to visit and chat with April before the main event. On my wedding day she did hair for my three bridesmaids as well before styling me. They all had a great experience and looked amazing! April executed my romantic vision, and even added in some flowers to match my bouquet. I loved how it turned out, and my hair stayed up and secure all day and night. I loved working with April for my special day, but I love even more that we remained friends! She is fun, funny, creative, and brings a calming energy. She also continues to do my cuts and colors.

I would highly recommend Taylor and her team. I’ve never felt more beautiful than what The looks. She has given me. I have been using her for years for engagement photos maternity looks as well as occasional events. She never lets me down and is always sensitive to all of my needs and looks!

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 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!
