“Kelly and Cynthia are absolutely amazing! They made me and my bridesmaids look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I don’t normally wear much makeup, but they made me feel completely comfortable and confident while still looking like myself—just the best version! We had a mix of skin tones, hair types, and styles, and they made every single one of us look incredible. From the trial to the wedding day, they were so kind, professional, and easy to work with. Our hair and makeup lasted perfectly through happy tears, hugs, and dancing all night. On top of all that, their services were very affordable for the quality and care they provided. I can’t recommend Kelly and Cynthia enough for any bride looking for a talented, thoughtful, and reasonably priced hair and makeup team!”

Beauty By Ayleen

5.0

“Ayleen did my make up for my wedding and brought my inspiration photo to me perfectly! It was an amazing glam look and I got so many compliments. I also skipped the trial because her photos looked so amazing and she did not disappoint. She made my bridesmaids look wonderful and my sister is even using her for her wedding. Ayleen was so sweet and easy to work with as well. I will go back to her over and over again for any makeup needs I have.”

Starts at $300

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Styles By Joanne Fortune

5.0

“Joanne and Jamie were easily one of my favorite vendors for my wedding. I got married April 7, 2024 and had my hair trial on February 3. I found Joanne’s company through one of my Instagram friends, who also got her hair done with them. I was immediately taken with them for two reasons: 1) They had no minimum person requirement 2) they were so so so quick in their email communications (something I found was super rare when looking for hairstylists). Immediately upon visiting for the trial, I knew I was in good hands. They were both so sweet and really took into consideration my preferences, veil & dress, and venue when making suggestions. I felt so comfortable with them (and they even gave me some tea!). On the day of the wedding, Jamie arrived promptly at our getting ready location and was quite efficient and effective in doing my hair. I never was worried that my hair would fall out during the wedding and the fact that I never once thought about my hair all night is a testament to how well it was done. And as I look back on my photos, I constantly look at my hair, impressed by how well it stayed curled and beautiful all day (even as I danced for 2 hours straight). I could never recommend Joanne and Jamie more for your big day.”

Reveal Hair and Makeup

“I was so happy with how my makeup turned out for the wedding! I highly recommend getting airbrushed foundation—it felt so light and breathable, and still gave me beautiful coverage that lasted all day. I felt confident and comfortable, even in the Hawaiian heat! I was also pretty happy with my hair. The waves looked lovely at the start of the day and complemented my look perfectly. They did fall out a bit later on in the night, but that could totally be because of my lei po’o and all the dancing! Overall, I felt so beautiful and really appreciated how relaxed and effortless the whole beauty process was. Would definitely recommend!”

“Joy was so great to work with! Very talented, communicative, and punctual! She had great input and advice on how to get the makeup look that I wanted for my wedding day. I wanted something more natural looking that enhanced my features and felt glowy and romantic. We did a trial first which was great to work out the look, and make any adjustments if needed for the wedding day. On the day Joy and her team were early and worked with the space we had, the vibe was chill, and she even finished earlier than the schedule. I was very happy with the look, and it lasted all night! Definitely would recommend!”

Peretti Hill Glam Squad

4.7

“I am so glad I chose Peretti Hill for my wedding—I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. I booked a hair and makeup trial about a month before the wedding, and then secured hair and makeup services for both me and my mom for the big day. Pricing was very reasonable, which was a huge plus. My stylist, Sarah, was absolutely perfect. During the trial, she really listened to my preferences, asked for feedback, and made thoughtful adjustments. She took note of everything I mentioned and was incredibly open and professional throughout. On the wedding day, we had an absolute blast. Not only did Sarah make us both look stunning, but she was also such a joy to be around—fun, easy to talk to, and brought great energy to the morning. It felt more like getting ready with a friend than with a vendor. What I appreciated most was that I still felt like myself on my wedding day—just the most beautiful version of me. The makeup and hair weren’t over the top, just elegant, natural, and exactly what I envisioned. And everything stayed flawless all night long. And I mean all night. It was a record-breaking hot day, I danced nonstop, and yes—there were many happy tears. Yet my hair and makeup didn’t budge. To prove it, I’ve included a photo from the cake cutting—seven hours after Sarah finished, following hours of heat, crying, and full-on dancing. Still perfect. I truly can’t recommend Peretti Hill—and Sarah—enough. You’ll be in amazing hands.”

Chelsea Rose Beauty

“I highly recommend Chelsea if you want to have a stress free morning for your wedding! Her calming face mask and essential oils and making me feel like her top priority felt incredible on the morning of my wedding. We also did a trial before hand and the day of my wedding Chelsea listened to all of my concerns from the trial and helped me find my perfect bridal look! If there is anything that I would do a little differently I would make sure there was about 10 more minutes to let Chelsea get pictures and videos of our hair and makeup together! We were a little pressed for time at the end but it was only because Chelsea wanted to make sure I looked perfect and spent her time on me! Chelsea and her team were amazing and I am so grateful I had her with me on my wedding day. Pictures: all to show hair and makeup. Picture with sunglasses is to show makeup after application in the morning and how it lasted all day until 3 am!”

“I could not have been happier with my wedding makeup! I felt so beautiful. I typically don’t wear a ton of makeup and I felt like Bonnie did a wonderful job balancing a natural look that came out well in photos without making me feel like I had a mask on. I got so many compliments. I also have pretty sensitive skin and we were able to use my trial to not only discuss what look I was going for, but to also figure out what products were gentle enough for my skin before my big day. All of her products are cruelty-free, which not only helped with my skin sensitivity, but it was also important to me as an animal lover. Bonnie was timely and professional. I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!”

Meleah and Co Makeup | Hair | Dance

5.0

“I can't thank Meleah enough for being the best HMU for my wedding day. I found her through The Knot but I'm registered in Zola. I researched her website porfolio and reviews everywhere i can find and she worked with diverse group of women in different ethnicities so this made me confident that with her 20 years of experience she will know how to do hair and makeup for Filipina like me. I love natural, elegant look and she did it. It really makes a difference to have a trial session, highly recommend! She takes lots of notes and by wedding day, I was so in love with how it turned out after taking some notes to improve after the trial session. I changed the hair style too but it was no problem, she pulled it off just by showing her my hair inspo photo. She is super amazing to work with, very responsive, on time, flexible, good with follow ups, have a great team working with her, helps on scheduling a lot and really strategize with you to make it work for wedding timelines. She is truly a hidden gem, plus the price rates are very reasonable compared to other artists out there. I can't recommend her enough, book her for your wedding and even add dance lessons if you're local in SD ( i wish we were so we had first dance lessons!) She also have her own line of makeup and skincare which are so fantastic, i love her lipstick and glow mask. (i got it when she recommended it to help with my scars and facial texture and works like magic, loved it!) Note: i provided my own lashes and the hair accessory :)”

“What can I even say — finding Souad was the best decision I made! I was looking for a makeup artist who was professional, soft-spoken, and truly understood my vision. I had contacted over 10 artists for trials, but none of them gave me the right vibe. My wedding was in Glendale, so I initially searched only in that area — but once I widened my search, I came across Souad on Instagram, and I’m so glad I did! She did a beautiful soft glam look and was kind enough to offer multiple trials to get to know my skin and preferences. This made me feel so comfortable and confident leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, she did my makeup, my mother's, and my mother-in-law's, and every look was flawless. The makeup lasted all day and night without needing touch-ups! Souad was also incredibly thoughtful and gave me the products I needed to retouch my lipstick if needed. She was so punctual, arriving ahead of time and making sure we were all ready on schedule for the most important day of our lives. Thank you, Souad, for your magical touch and for giving me the best makeup I’ve ever had on my wedding day.”
