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

Awarded Best of Zola
I am so glad that we had Amanda as a part of our wedding day. Amanda was very responsive as soon as we first starting discussing on Zola. I was so glad she was willing to brainstorm and discuss with me on my vision; I especially appreciated that she did not shy away from styling my naturally curly hair. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Amanda and already loved the results. However, she went above and beyond in taking our notes from the trial to make the final look on our wedding day even more elevated! I also loved her touch-up kit and really thoughtful education on how to maintain the look throughout the night. Amanda and her team also did the hair and makeup for my family in the bridal suite. I have heard nothing but amazing feedback about their knowledge, work, and professionalism. The personalization to every individual to make them feel their best was appreciated by everyone. I would 100% recommend working with 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!

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.

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!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

Creating a calm, personalized, and fully supportive experience for my brides is incredibly important to me from start to finish.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

Hi! I’m Loren. I am based in the South Bay Area. I have a strong passion for make up and making people feel beautiful on their special day. Whether you are having a wedding, attending a wedding, baby shower, birthday dinner, or concert, I am here at your service. I cannot wait to connect with you!

Lorene Beauty was a fantastic choice for my wedding day beauty needs. From the very first consultation, she was clear, professional, and knowledgeable in her communication, putting me at ease right away. On the day of my wedding, Loren did a wonderful job making me feel comfortable and relaxed, helping distract me with great conversation as she worked. The hair and makeup she created was absolutely beautiful and perfectly aligned with my vision, lasting beautifully throughout the entire event and through the night. I was thrilled with the quality of Lorene Beauty's work and the incredible value they provided. I would highly recommend them to any bride-to-be looking for a top-notch beauty team to help make their special day perfect.

Hi there, I’m Lauren! I am a Bay Area makeup artist that has been in the beauty industry for 5+ years. My signature makeup style is "soft glam" which is suitable for any anyone between natural to glam brides. Working with me as your wedding makeup artist would not only include the makeup application itself but also around the clock email/ text communication from the very beginning of the booking process to the wedding day. My main priority is to ensure you have a smooth booking process with me and a stress-free wedding morning.

Lauren was fantastic, she was very communicative and accommodating. She worked with my mom & MIL to get their desired look for the wedding and made me feel beautiful. My makeup lasted all night and I got a ton of compliments. Lauren also brought another artist to accommodate my large party and she was fantastic as well.
