“15/10 recommend BOL for your wedding. I am a SAPPY person and cried probably every 10 min for 3-4 hours at my wedding and my makeup looked truly flawless all night. Nicole was incredible, gave me the exact look I wanted, and somehow made it last through so many happy tears and some very sweaty dancing lol. Carmine also did an immaculate job with my hair and gave me the most elegant and stunning updo that looked perfect and lasted through crowd surfing, club after party, etc without falling out at all.

Sade can expertly style you and make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and incredibly satisfied. Sade truly values her work and her compassion for it shows, rather, radiates, when styling you for your special day! I’m a mixed girlie and I wanted to have my hair naturally styled for my wedding day. I thought my hair and I had a love-hate relationship. It turns out, I just didn’t know how to care for it properly. Sade taught me so much about loving my curls, and myself, throughout our time together preparing for my wedding. She listened to me, and wove in every request I had of her when it came to styling my hair and makeup. She also advocated for me and encouraged me to take appropriate risks to unveil my true beauty. I had a cross-cultural wedding as well! I have included some pictures from my traditional photoshoot, Mehendi, and my wedding day. Sade was INSTRUMENTAL in all of these events!! Sade and her talented team are family to me now. One of the best choices I made on my wedding day, besides marrying my husband (lol), was choosing her expert services. She is a great person and I am recommending her to everyone I know!”

I used to struggle with a lot of scalp irritation and allergies, and they created a series of scalp treatments for me. After several sessions, my scalp is now completely healthy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! On top of that, their blowouts are amazing. My hair always looks beautiful, and I leave the salon feeling confident, refreshed, and truly cared for.

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves.

Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

“I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!”

“Having Alicia as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding day was the perfect choice, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Alicia is truly amazing at her craft. She did my hair for my engagement shoot, and I was blown away by how beautiful it looked. She also did my makeup for my bridal shower, and I received so many compliments from friends and family. I knew that having her do BOTH my hair and makeup on my wedding day was going to result in something absolutely stunning, and she did not disappoint. Alicia is not only incredibly talented, but she's also a joy to work with. She is professional, yet chill and easy to talk to. She really understands the vibe you're going for, and nothing feels forced. Alicia makes it a priority to ask about your preferences—what you do and don’t like—so she can make all the right adjustments after hair and makeup trials. By the time the wedding day came, I had complete confidence that she would give me exactly what I envisioned. And when she handed me the mirror after completing my hair and makeup, I CRIED. She absolutely nailed it. The look she created was beautiful, dreamy, sexy, chic, and timeless all at once—it was exactly what I wanted. Our wedding guests couldn’t stop gushing over how beautiful I looked, and I felt like a true version of myself, only more polished and radiant than ever before. Alicia delivered more than just a look; she made me feel incredibly confident and stunning on my special day. A huge shoutout as well to makeup artists Maila and Kate, who helped with hair and makeup for my bridal party. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, and they were all so happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. Maila and Kate were both so sweet and accommodating, ensuring that each lady loved their final look. The entire team made the experience feel effortless and fun, and our bridal party was truly glowing. If you’re looking for a hair and makeup artist who is not talented but also easy to work with and truly listens to your vision, Alicia is your person.

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!!

“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!!”

“Sarah was fantastic to work with. I showed her a picture of the updo I wanted and boom - she matched it. She’s great because she works WITH you- so if you wanted a minor change, or regret telling her you wanted the sparkles on your eyelids, she fixes it immediately. I felt comfortable with her and very calm. Everyone should have someone like Sarah on their big day! She also traveled far for my wedding which I appreciate a ton. I mean check out my hair in the pics below….. she’s so talented!”

“Tasha was so fun to work with and made sure my bridal party and I looked and felt our most beautiful! She was open to making changes and adjusting elements I requested while bringing her expertise and suggestions. When I decided to completely switch my hair for the wedding day from the trial, she didn't hesitate to make my vision come to life! I felt beautiful, confident, and myself (just a little bit fancier). Highly recommend working with her.”

“As someone with a darker skin tone, it's often difficult to find MUAs who are experienced with my complexion. Adrianne did an amazing job matching both mine, my husband's and my wedding party's skin tones. She was incredibly accommodating with all my requests and delivered a flawless look.”
