Blushed Brides is a growing, onsite hair and makeup company with a home base in Chico. All of our stylists are licensed professionals with many years of experience in all areas of the beauty industry. Combined work experience includes Med spa's, full service salon, weddings, print, and freelance artistry in Ulta & Nordstrom w/ brands such as Lancome, Benefit, Clinique, and many others. Making us well versed in product knowledge (this means we've tested it all and chosen only the very best!), experienced in all skin and hair types, as well as bringing professional, warm, and skilled stylists to you! This is our pride and passion!

Blushed Brides was a fantastic choice for our wedding beauty team. From the beginning, they demonstrated a kind and open communication style, taking the time to understand the different preferences of our group of 5 bridesmaids. The lead stylist, Cydney, was incredibly professional and listened closely to ensure she captured the exact look I was going for. I could rely on her expertise without worry, and she even gracefully accommodated two last-minute additions to the bridal party. When our wedding coordinator dropped the ball, (Kadie Salazar Events - completely incompetent the day and weeks leading to the wedding) Cydney handled the confusion with grace and kindness, making sure everything ran smoothly. The quality of Blushed Brides' work was exceptional, and they provided excellent value for the price. I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a reliable and talented beauty team for their special day.

Jasmine & Co was great to work with and communicate with, as well as having competitive prices. They were well worth every penny we spent to hire them for my wedding for my bridal hair and makeup as well as for my bridal party. Jasmine, Alicia and Katie all killed it in the best possible way. I loved my trial when we did it, but decided to add hair extensions and I’m SO glad I did! Alicia was a wizard when it came to put them in and doing my hairstyle. My hair and make up went perfectly with my dress & veil. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and they executed my bridal look above and beyond what I could’ve ever hoped for. My bridesmaids and Maid of Honor, and our mother’s were absolute perfection. Everyone had very natural looking makeup with a little glam. It was perfect for our outdoor wedding. We were a quiet group lol probably more than other bridal parties. But we still had a great time! There are truly not enough “Thank you’s” for me to say, but I am so grateful for their time and talents that they shared to make my day and myself as beautiful as it could be. Thank you for being apart of all of our pictures and memories. They were absolutely the BEST team for our hair & makeup! It showed why they are a preferred vendor for so many venues.

I did a trial and day of makeup and hair with Maddie for my wedding day and it was so perfect! First off she’s cute as a button- and even her being so young she was beyond professional, was very organized and super talented. She’s 100% in the right business! After my bridal trial, I had a couple of things I wanted to tweak/adjust and she took the feedback so well immediately adapted it on my wedding day. HIGHLY recommend doing a trial because I THOUGHT I wanted one thing but realized I didn’t for both my hair and makeup! All of my bridesmaids loved her- her timeline was spot on and her communication skills are top notch! YES 100% BOOK her! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my big day Maddie!

I absolutely love getting to be a part of such a big day for so many amazing couples! I have loved everything beauty related since I was little, trying to secretly cut my friends hair thinking their parents wouldn’t notice, always being the last person to get ready because you’re too busy getting everyone else ready. This has been my calling and my passion for as long as I remember. But really the best part is getting to meet so many amazing women and helping them create memories that will last a lifetime.

  • Serves South Lake Tahoe, CA

Raven Reed | Makeup & Hair is a San Francisco–based luxury bridal styling company serving Napa Valley, Carmel, and destinations worldwide. Led by founder Raven Reed, our team is known for refined, skin-forward artistry that photographs flawlessly and feels effortless in real life. Every experience is calm, intentional, and tailored to the woman in the chair—elevating her natural beauty rather than masking it. Whether preparing for an intimate elopement or a multi-day celebration, Raven and her artists bring an editorial eye and a deep respect for the moment, creating looks that are modern, timeless, and unmistakably you.

I stumbled upon Raven's Instagram during wedding planning and noticed how all of her clients looked radiant, delighted, and uniquely made up to suit each person's face. I had had a very disappointing trial run with someone else, but with no prior experience, I didn't know if that was just how professional makeup was going to feel regardless; I didn't feel like I looked like myself, and that's certainly not how I wanted to feel or look like on my special day. Once I reached out to Raven, I could tell by her warm and compassionate correspondence that this person was going to do her utmost to understand my needs/wishes. We did a trial at my home and I was immediately put at ease by her professionalism and the warmth she expressed in her emails was exactly how she was in person as well. She never judged me on my personal skincare or makeup routine and offered great insights and tips for my everyday life and in preparation for my wedding day. On my wedding day, she arrived with an assistant promptly (probably early, even!) and seeing their friendly faces eased so many of my jitters. They did my mother-in-law's makeup and hair, and I could tell by her ear-to-ear smile that she was so happy with the results. Raven's assistant even managed to put her short bob-length hair into an elegant french twist-like updo, which she never would have thought possible. Raven, once again, did her magic on my face, with even more attention to detail than the trial, and our chat during the session made me forget from time to time that I was supposed to be nervous! No surprise, I was so happy with how my makeup looked – I felt like me, but fancier and photo-ready. On top of everything, they also spruced up my husband and tidied him up before the main event as well. They mostly touched up his skin and helped him with his hair and beard, but most of all, I know he appreciated their calming and warm demeanor when he was nervous too. Do not hesitate to book Raven for your event! She's truly a wonderful person and an amazing makeup artist. She will stop at nothing to make you feel like the beautiful person you are.
