SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

She guided me seamlessly through the process until we landed on the look. Then, day of, she executed what we decided on during the trial beautifully. And stayed on schedule. Also, genuinely a nice person and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 recommend!”

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!”

“I truly could not have been happier with my wedding makeup, working with Annaliza and the MakeYourselfUp team was one of the best decisions I made for my big day. I was initially worried about looking too “caked on” or overly done, especially around the eyes, but she completely understood my concerns. During our trial, she took the time to listen, adjust, and collaborate with me until we created a look that felt like the most beautiful version of myself. On the wedding day, she arrived early, calm, and fully prepared, which made the entire experience feel so seamless and stress-free.

My makeup lasted all day and night, it looked just as flawless at the end of the celebration as it did when I first walked down the aisle.

“Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!!

“For those of you planning a wedding, or any event for that matter, there are countless difficult decisions that need to be made. And, a lot of the times you worry about whether you’ll make the right choice. Well with Raven, it was one of the easiest choices that I made during my wedding planning. Raven was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional, communicative, helpful, and a complete sweetheart! I had her booked to just do the makeup for me and one of my bridesmaids. So I truly appreciated the fact that she made time to do my mother-in-law’s makeup last minute as well, and she was extremely gracious about it. Trust me when I say this: you will not regret choosing Raven for your makeup/beauty needs.”

“I got married in Monterey, CA and used Kim Baker Beauty (specifically Kim) for my bridal hair and makeup. Kim was so professional on top of being so kind while my bridesmaids were buzzing around. I was worried about looking like a completely different person, and Kim made sure I looked like a glowing bride. She was the first vendor I met day of and set the tone for a very relaxed day. She also helped me build out a skin care routine to prep for the big day by making it seem less intimidating and using my budget and skincare concerns. 10/10 would recommend and plan to use Kim's team again in the future!”
