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

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.

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!

From the moment Zayra arrived, she was incredibly sweet, calming, and so in tune with every detail of what I had envisioned for my look. I was definitely feeling some nerves that morning, especially since our wedding was an intimate elopement and it was just the two of us, but she created such a peaceful, supportive energy that made it easy for me to relax and really enjoy the moment. She took such thoughtful care with every step, checking in, listening closely, and adjusting anything until it felt just right.

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.

Dayna was incredible! I was struggling to find someone to do my hair a few weeks before my wedding, and the people I did find were non committal and didn’t seem super interested. But the instant I found Dayna she was enthusiastic, engaging, and flexible. She really cared and wanted me to have what I needed for my wedding. I shared my inspiration photos with her and our trial session was amazing. It helped her get a few ideas to finalize my look on my wedding day, the subtle changes were amazing and I felt beautiful and confident.

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 really made my wedding morning an exceptional one. I’m so glad her and her team were there to set the tone for the day. They arrived early and scheduled enough cushion time to work at a relaxed pace but we still finished early! We all looked amazing– flawless and glamorous, but still like ourselves. Ravens was a pleasure to work with as a whole. From our first phone call, I knew we were a good fit. Her personality is so bubbly and fun but she somehow brought such a calm to the room on my wedding day. Her rates are higher than what I was seeing while searching for a makeup artist but her rates are well worth the cost and are really a reflection of her quality of service. After hiring, I completely understood why her services were prices the way they were and I’m happy I made the investment. I would hire Raven again in a heartbeat and if you’re hesitant to book, DON’T BE. Book her now because she gets booked very quickly.

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!

I'm new to Zola, but not to Bridal Hair! With 17 years dedicated to crafting beautiful hair, and 8 of those in Bridal styling. My experience aids to specializing in varying styles - from vintage, to boho, to a modern esthetic. Recently, my partner and I made the exciting move to Portland from San Francisco. I can’t wait to discover all the stunning wedding venues the PNW has to offer! When I'm not doing hair, you can find me trying a new coffee shop, making kombucha, or hiking with my husband and our dog, Livia. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

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 always do and always will recommend April!

Thao and Thy transformed me, my mom, and my entire bridal party for my big day! They ensured that our hair stayed curled for the entire day (impressive). Thao’s attention to detail was much appreciated for my wedding makeup look- she trimmed my hair to perfect the length and switched the type of lashes to fit the look. I cried A LOT the whole day but my makeup looked great at the end of the night! I am so thankful for Thao and Thy’s expertise.
