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

Awarded Best of Zola
Amanda and her team (Laura) made my wedding day and whole experience beyond special. She is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and was such a calming presence on a day where nerves were high. For both my trial and day-of, she pulled off exactly that I described and I have never felt more beautiful in my life. She absolutely killed it for me and all of my bridesmaids and our makeup was still looking fabulous until 2 AM. I highly recommend trusting Amanda with your wedding day hair and makeup.

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.

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!!

Raven Reed | Makeup & Hair is a San Francisco–based luxury bridal styling company serving Napa Valley, Carmel, and destinations worldwide. Led by founder Raven Reed, our team is known for refined, skin-forward artistry that photographs flawlessly and feels effortless in real life. Every experience is calm, intentional, and tailored to the woman in the chair—elevating her natural beauty rather than masking it. Whether preparing for an intimate elopement or a multi-day celebration, Raven and her artists bring an editorial eye and a deep respect for the moment, creating looks that are modern, timeless, and unmistakably you.

Raven did my bridal make up for my wedding in San Francisco in 2019 and she was absolutely amazing! About 2 years ago I faced the daunting situation of hunting for a make up artist in the US while living in Australia. This presented a number of obstacles but Raven never made it feel that way. She was always responsive and willing to go out of her way to talk with me or provide advice. But the best thing about Raven is that she genuinely cares about making her clients happy and will go the extra mile to make sure of that. At our make up trial, she refused to leave until she knew I was happy! A difficult task when working with someone like me who isn't used to wearing a lot of make up and hadn't had their make up done professionally since I was 18. Raven tackled this challenge with so much positive energy and never once made me feel guilty for not quite knowing what I wanted. And on the day Raven perfectly captured the natural, but polished look that I was after. I absolutely loved my make up and received so many compliments throughout the day and night.

I had four (yes, four!) bridal makeup trials and I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! I was looking for a natural makeup look but it seemed impossible to find. The other trials left me with cakey foundation that actually made my skin texture look worse than it normally does without makeup. Taylor suggested that I look up celebrity reference photos as opposed to your typical bridal Pinterest pics. This was a game changer — great advice! Taylor paid close attention to my skin tone, skin type, and bone structure to help accentuate my features.

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!

Gracie Glam & Beauty was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our very first interaction, Gracie's communication was clear, kind, and professional. She listened intently to my vision and executed it flawlessly, delivering makeup that was truly incredible in its detail and perfection. Gracie is such a sweet and kind soul, and she made the entire process leading up to the big day so smooth and stress-free. My makeup was absolutely flawless, and I felt my absolute best thanks to Gracie's talented artistry. I cannot recommend Gracie Glam & Beauty highly enough - they are worth every penny and more!
