“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.

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!”

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.”

“Nataly was already on my radar when I was unfortunately ghosted by the person I had previously booked. However, this turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to me because I truly believe no one else could have done such a magical job on my makeup and hair. Nataly responds quickly, has transparent and reasonable pricing, and is just a kind individual as a whole. She made the process seamless and fun instead of stressful. As someone with long curly hair it was frustrating to try and find anyone who could style my natural texture, but she did an incredible job and I’ve never felt more beautiful. She understood what I wanted and brought my vision to life. My trial was exactly what I wanted and Nataly is skilled at a variety of makeup looks. As someone terrible at lash application she made them comfortable and they did not budge all day or night. My entire makeup stayed put from 10 am to midnight in eighty degree weather. She has my loyalty and trust and I would recommend her to anyone.”

“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 hired Raven and her team for my wedding last year and I have zero regrets. From the first email I received, I knew I was in good hands. I instantly fell in love with Raven during my consultation call because she really listened to what I wanted and even took notes! 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 makeup lasted from the afternoon well into the evening and I felt so beautiful. My husband really loved her work as well because I still looked like me! I couldn’t recommend Raven enough!!”

“My wedding was 10-02-2022 at Temescal Beach House in Oakland. Kim did my hair and make-up as well as the hair and make-up of my mom and 2 bridesmaids. Throughout the process-from my very first phone/video call with her, until the wedding day- Kim was kind, responsive, professional, and completely fantastic. She's genuine and calming which for me, was exactly what I wanted. I do not wear make-up or do my hair so this was the aspect of my day-of wedding prep that I was most worried about. I didn't want heavy make-up or to not look like myself. I also didn't have a pinterest board or a ton of my own ideas because that world (of hair and make-up) is intimidating to me and just not a language I speak. Kim was SO good at giving me options, talking me through things, and REALLY listening to my preferences. She was adaptive and sincere throughout the process and I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day. I looked like me, but leveled up a few notches, and my friends and family recognized me. The hair and make-up also lasted all day which was awesome. Kim is seriously the best (also queer friendly which was great). I cannot recommend her more highly.”

“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!”
