Awarded Best of Zola
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. The final result was everything I had hoped for: timeless, effortless, and totally me. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side on such a special day.

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!

I booked Annaliza for my vow renewal hair and makeup after chatting with several artists on various sites. I needed someone who could do both hair and makeup, and her affordable rates plus her experience with natural glam stood out. My hair and makeup turned out beautifully and my makeup lasted perfectly through the entire night. Annaliza was easy to work with and made the getting-ready process feel relaxed. The only minor downside was that she arrived a bit later than scheduled, which cut into our photography time slightly. But overall, I was extremely happy with her work and would recommend her to anyone looking for a natural, polished look.

I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day. Julie chatted with me and made me feel comfortable. She did the make-up for 5 people in my wedding party, in addition to myself, all in one day! I loved my hair and make-up, and she walked me through it every step of the way, really listening to my wants. She even helped with covering up an uneven tan on my back. I still use the make-up she gave me from that day even one year later. Thank you Julie!

Here to curate with you a memorable beauty experience, while capturing the essence of your vision, so you feel and look stunningly you. Having your makeup and hair styled is such a special moment, and selecting your perfect artist is very exciting, yet can be overwhelming, as you want the very best. (you deserve it!) Someone you can build a genuine connection, while understanding your beauty vision, and that is me!

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.

She is always attentive and asks me questions along the way to make sure I’m getting what I want. My favorite look so far was on my wedding day! It felt natural for my face/style and held up all day.

Kim and Lupe were incredible and very patient working with my wedding party, which ranged in experience from someone who had no idea what they wanted for their hair & makeup to someone who brought extensive references and asked for specific changes. I am an anxious person by nature, even more so when I have to be even partially in charge of any kind of event, and Kim's calm and practiced work made me feel so much more at ease. She was even able to incorporate a golden laurel hairpiece that I was worried wouldn't work, but it did, and I felt like an empress on my wedding day. I particularly appreciated Kim's skincare product suggestions, which I still use a month out from the wedding and plan on continuing, swapping out parts as needed. I've come to enjoy my skincare ritual in the mornings, and my partner has noticed the difference and started looking for some of his own to use!

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.

Everyone in my wedding party was thrilled with their hair styles and enjoyed getting the chance to sit in her chair.

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. She was so kind, professional, on time, and made the experience so effortless for my bridal party and I. I felt so beautiful thanks to Taylor. I wish I could have her do my makeup every day!
