I can't say enough good things about LA Page Makeup and their team. From the very first interaction, Lauren’s communication was efficient, responsive, organized and completely professional!! On the day of my wedding, Lauren and her team created a flawless look that lasted all day and night without needing any touch-ups. They kept everything running smoothly and on schedule the morning of the wedding, which was such a relief. Lauren and her team are absolute rockstars who clearly know what they're doing. I wasn't looking for a full-glam look for my wedding, and they captured exactly the natural yet beautiful style I was going for. Plus, they're all so hilarious and kind - it was a pleasure to have them be a part of our special day. The quality of their work is truly high-caliber and worth every single penny. The makeup and hair trials are also SOOO worth it.

One can hardly describe the magic of a wedding morning. The soft hum of anticipation, the laughter tucked between moments, and the memories that will linger long after. Together with your stylist, your look is planned in careful detail, harmonizing with your dress, your vision, and the vibe you are creating. On the day, we arrive prepared with artistry and expertise, letting the morning unfold effortlessly. Every look is created to feel timeless in photographs, yet as natural as it is refined.

Meghan is insanely talented and worked magic putting together such intricate hair style that lasted the whole day. All the adjustments we made during the trial were incorporated in the final hair which held up the entire reception! I truly had my dream hair for my wedding. I'm just speechless that she can recreate hair styles from just a photo! Bonus was having her do my hair for the rehearsal! It was totally different from my wedding hair, which shows how versatile she is! Also, I absolutely adore Meghan as a person! She was the perfect calm, peaceful energy I needed on my wedding day.

Hi! I’m Cori, a bridal hair & makeup artist with over 11 yrs of experience in the bridal industry. I believe wedding day beauty is about more than how you look; it’s about how you feel in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. My goal is to create an experience where you feel confident, supported, & completely yourself. I work closely with you to design a look that feels timeless and elevated while still feeling authentic to who you are. Trials are held in my private studio where we take the time to refine every detail and ensure you feel fully confident in your vision. Above all, it is an honor to be part of such a special day.

Cori truly saved my wedding day, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment she arrived, right on time, professional, and completely prepared, I knew we were in good hands. She was warm, happy, and genuinely interested in everything that was going on, which made her feel more like a friend celebrating with us than just a hairdresser. She made me and my entire bridal party feel absolutely beautiful. Every single one of us showed her our inspiration pictures, and she matched them perfectly—down to the smallest details. She even brought a bag full of hair accessories to add those extra special touches. On top of all that, she graciously fit my niece in for an adorable “tiny wedding guest” hairstyle, which was completely unplanned. It meant so much to us! Not to mention the other 9 girls she had already done in a timely manner, all. by. herself. Cori is talented, professional, and such a joy to have around on a big day. 10/10 would recommend her for any event!

Nikki was recommended to me by our wedding venue, Jonathan Edwards Winery, and I am so happy I reached out to her. From our very first call she understood that I wanted my makeup to look natural on my wedding day as I don’t usually wear a ton of makeup. Before my hair and makeup trial she took the time to talk about my skincare regimen and recommended skin products to get my skin ready for the wedding. My wedding day hair and makeup was better than I could ever imagine. I felt so beautiful but also looked like myself. My hair and makeup also stayed in place all afternoon and night with no touch ups so that I could focus on my wedding day. I highly recommend booking Nikki for your wedding or event!

Hello beautiful people! My name is Jocelyn and I have been a makeup artist for over 8 years, pursuing this full time the last 3! I have loved makeup my entire life and my love has just grown as I have gotten older. Communication and trust with my clients is extremely important to me! I always make sure we have time to talk about exactly what kind of look you are looking for. I look forward to welcoming you to my chair!

Jocelyn was an absolute delight to work with for my wedding day makeup. Her communication style was speedy, personal, and energetic - she always responded quickly to any questions I had and made me feel like an individual, not just another client. The quality and value of her work was amazing. She didn't use a one-size-fits-all approach but really tailored the look to me. When she was done I truly felt beautiful, confident, and ready to walk down the aisle. On the day itself Jocelyn arrived right on time and came bearing a lovely gift, which was so thoughtful. She worked efficiently and professionally to make sure my makeup was perfect before zipping off to her next appointment. I couldn't recommend Jocelyn more highly for any bride looking for a talented, responsive, and thoughtful makeup artist for her special day!

Whether you want the more natural look, the sultry look, or the classic beauty look, Macy Lo is your girl and the makeup artist for you. Her fun attitude and dedication is impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is a professional, and truly a delight to have around. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see whether you like or dislike something or whether you want less or more. She truly gears her talents toward the individual. On the day of my wedding she came early, brought her extensive line of makeup, additional accessories, and with a smile and genuine joy and excitement on her face got to work. Macy did such a beautiful job for myself, my sister, step-mom, and my two bridesmaids at my wedding. We all felt like princesses. I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for her. On my wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and blessed. Macy played a big part in that. I would work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone I know. If only she could pop out of my makeup bag every day lol.

A hopeless romantic and people person, I found my true passion when working in the bridal industry. I love getting to meet excited brides, connecting with them to learn about their vision, how they dreamed of the perfect wedding so I can bring that to life! Being able to give them the gift of confidence on their wedding day is truly a special part of my job. Building a friendship is a by-product, and I have become friends with so many of my brides, staying connected years after the wedding, and even glamming them up for other big milestones of their journey, like maternity pictures and baby showers!

Juliana is the absolute best. From our initial call - I knew she was the one I wanted. She was one of the first vendors you are with in the morning, and she brought the smiles, the love, and made all of the girls feel comfortable, and most importantly, the most beautiful. I have never had my makeup done so beautifully. It lasted all day / all night, and I felt and looked the most stunning I ever had in my life. She's truly a gem and is worth every cent!

They were completely on top of everything, making the whole getting-ready process smooth, fun, and totally stress-free. They did hair and makeup for myself, the MOB, MOH and a bridesmaid. They used such high-quality products, and it showed — my makeup looked flawless all day and all night without even needing a single touch-up.

From our first phone call/interview, I KNEW I had to book with Sara. Her dedication to make brides not only look beautiful but *FEEL* like themselves on their wedding day meant everything to me. I am "light"/natural make up person, so it was important that I still felt like myself during my wedding day. She was absolutely incredible to work with. Very responsive to emails, feedback, questions and more. As a client, watching her be so passionate about her work was/is inspiring. She made the morning of my wedding so fun, stress-free and set the tone for the day (in the best way possible). My entire wedding party had nothing but wonderful things to say about Sara and how they looked/felt after getting their makeup done. As a bride, Sara gave me the space to criticize what I liked, what I didn't like and/or what I wanted to emphasize more. I cried during our trial (tears of joy) and cried the day of my wedding (I'm a soft ball). The day of my wedding, I told Sara what details I wanted to change and she was SO supportive of my decision(s) - which is a big deal because everyone wants to give their thoughts/opinions and Sara only cared about what *I* wanted. Lastly, I cried on/off during my wedding day (so many happy tears), it rained/sprinkled during our first look photos and the rest of the night, I sweated on the dance floor and my make up looked FLAWLESS throughout the entire night. Sara gave me a little kit for touch ups as needed (after the ceremony) and I didn't even need it (except the lips which I did eventually reapply).

From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream. Her energy in addition to her work were EVERYTHING. She absolutely nailed my Hollywood vision, every wave perfectly placed. All of my bridesmaids were in love with their looks. Shelby made everyone feel and look their best on such a big day. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!

Hey everyone! My name is Kadasia! I started professionally working as a makeup artist in 2020! I’ve always loved makeup, and how it makes me feel, and love the opportunity to share that with others! I’ve made men and women look and feel their best on various occasions, from birthdays and photo shoots, to weddings and public appearances! As a mother of 2, I understand the importance of self care and feeling confident about yourself! I believe in inclusivity and equality and that everyone deserves to feel their best!

My wedding was a week ago and I’ve been looking at pictures all week, so thankful I chose Kadasia. She was flexible with times and scheduling the others in my bridal party and even accommodated working at two locations on the same day to make it work. She has so much understanding about her craft that she knows exactly what people need, however that doesn’t stop her from listening to what people want. She asks questions and engages with whoever she’s working with. I watched her deal with my picky mother and bridesmaids who are incredibly skeptical about makeup—she listened and made them and myself look stunning but we still liked like us! I’ve gotten makeup done before where the “glam” was overdone and I didn’t recognize myself. Kadasia accentuated our natural beauty and I knew I didn’t have to worry about my make up coming off on people, like it has in the past. I loved my wedding look and I cannot thank Kadasia enough for being easy to work with and making me feel beautiful. Highly recommend!! Can’t wait to work together again!
