I can't recommend Emily Wu enough! She was such a joy to collaborate with for my special day. I had…read morea general vision in my head, but I gave her a lot of artistic freedom and truly trusted her to create what would make me look my absolute best. She stayed within the lines of what I wanted while elevating it with her own expertise--and I was beyond thrilled with the outcome. I have somewhat difficult hair to style, and she worked with it as much as she could, never forcing it into something unrealistic. The final look came together beautifully. The winds picked up a lot throughout the day (way more than we expected!), and somehow my veil clip stayed perfectly secure the entire time. That alone felt like magic. I had so many people complimenting me on the street, and I can honestly say I've never felt more beautiful. I really appreciated how upfront she was about her needs and expectations ahead of time--there were no surprises on the day of. She was communicative and professional throughout the entire process, had me ready on time, and I never once felt rushed. She consistently checked in to make sure I felt good about the direction we were heading, which made the experience feel collaborative and reassuring. She was kind, personable, incredibly talented, and affordable. The only thing I was particularly specific about was my eyebrows--and we absolutely got them right! Thank you so much, Emily, for helping make my day so special. I'm so grateful! I can't wait to share my photos with her.

I booked Bfab for my July 2025 wedding. They did hair and makeup for my wedding party. I really…read moreliked that they have a network of stylists -- meant they could match the style of makeup I was going for and I liked the assurance that if a stylist got sick last minute, they would have backups ready to go. The stylists we worked with were all amazing -- talented but also brought such a great vibe to our getting ready party. No weird attitude or pushiness. They made all the girls look INCREDIBLE. Prices were also reasonable! Thank you bfab!!

I hired Bfab for hair and makeup on a Wednesday afternoon. I didn't necessarily need someone to…read morecome to my home, but I had a hard time finding a salon or studio that could do both. Bfab had availability on my date and great reviews. I was so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out. The reason for giving 3 stars was that they did not show up at the scheduled time as they had accidentally cancelled my appointment in their system. Had I not called them inquiring where my stylist was, they wouldn't have even been aware of my appointment. Fortunately, after my third attempt calling them someone picked up and they were able to schedule Cindy to complete my appointment. I was very happy with Cindy's work and so glad it worked out. It was a relatively low-importance event so I was not stressed out about the time crunch, but if it had been a wedding or special event, this would have been unacceptable. They did not offer a partial refund, a discount on a future service, or anything to make it right. The price was $290 for hair and makeup. Overall I would hire them again, but I would confirm the appointment a week before and a day before the event.

As previously mentioned, I got a blowout from Jade for a wedding I was a brides maid for. I was…read morevery excited to be able to book with Jade as she consistently delivers the most perfect results. Jade was super kind and helpful with styling and suggested waves. The waves stayed all day (picture at end of day shown, selfie from beginning of day) which has never happened for my hair when I style it myself since it's so heavy. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life on my hair, and I felt really beautiful! Thank you Jade! I would trust Jade 1000% for any event/occasion with my hair.

I'm really sad she's no longer there, but I've followed her work and continue to recommend her to friends--they all love her too! Pam is not only talented but also one of the sweetest and kindest people you'll meet. She genuinely cares about her clients and always makes sure you leave happy. Just to be clear--this rating is all about Pam, not the salon. She's the reason for the stars!

Elizabeth Fox was a total godsend and an absolute joy to work with! :) I'm in the Bay Area to shoot…read morea commercial for one of the big tech companies up here, and I needed a hair and makeup professional because I didn't trust the company to provide someone who would do the type of look I wanted. I found Elizabeth on Yelp and as soon as I viewed her website and portfolio I 100% knew she was the woman for the job! She was super fast to reply, easy to book, very reasonable rates, and very communicable and personable. Was really helpful in explaining what sort of looks would work on me, what wouldn't, and I really appreciated her professional guidance. On the day of the event, showed up on time, did a fabulous job, just intuitively knew the look I wanted, and captured it perfectly! She was also so fun to talk to, such a great human being. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Elizabeth has such a creative, wonderful approach to makeup - like a true artist! - and I really appreciated that she got all my style references. I could go on forever about how happy I am with her work - but I won't. Just please book her if you need a makeup and hair artist in the Bay Area! You won't be disappointed.

Elizabeth Fox has done the wedding make-up of three of my friends and mine as a bridesmaid as well…read more She brings with her a great deal of expertise and is able to do fantastic and natural looking hair and make-up. More importantly though, she brings a calm, relaxed, incredibly positive competence that makes brides feel at ease. I've watched her negotiate nervous mothers of the bride, stressful last minute wedding changes and all the normal unexpected upsets of a wedding and not only do fantastic make-up but help the bride feel relaxed through the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and very reasonable make-up artist for any important life event.

My sister calls me the pickiest and most difficult person when it comes to making decisions. I hate…read moreto say it but I agree - I take an abnormally long time and I need to go over my first choice multiple times before I finally make the call. When it came time to get married, and thankfully I had a 1.5 year engagement to make all these decisions, I had a few makeup artists in mind who I had worked with on other weddings that I loved, but for my own and my very diverse crowd of bridesmaids, I felt like I still hadn't found the right fit yet. Not only that, but I wanted to make sure that whoever we selected to do our hair and makeup would also be a great fit with our photographer. As soon as I saw the photoshoot Mimi & Taylor did with our photographer, KT Merry, I was in love. Going through Mimi & Taylor's portfolio, I saw that their hairstyles were all unique and different. Even their makeup looks had a wide variety but each were done so well (from natural, glam, etc.) Being asian, it was also hard for me to find stylists who could perfect loose, soft, and romantic updo's for asian hair and Taylor and her team hit it on the spot. We worked together for the engagement photoshoot over a 3 hour session, trying out different hair styles and looks. Taylor is a great listener and completely understood exactly what I wanted - even though I was horrible at explaining it. Taylor saw a photo of my wedding dress and knew exactly what would fit perfectly with the whole look. On the wedding day, I also had Mimi & Taylor stay through the ceremony and to change my hairstyle from an updo to a downdo for a second look for reception while I scarfed down champagne and appetizers. As for my bridesmaids and the mom's, although it was also my day, I wanted to make sure they were being pampered as well. All of my bridesmaids are very different - personalities, ethnicities, hair lengths/textures - Mimi & Taylor's talent is so versatile, everyone looked stunning. More importantly, my best friends looked like themselves, even their hairstyles were unique to their own style. During the wedding day, many of our guests also complimented how gorgeous everyone looked and how well down the makeup was. I also can't even begin to talk about Taylor's eyelashes. They are so lush but also look natural - I can't explain it but my bridesmaids and I were all fans. The team is so friendly and sweet and their knowledge of makeup is incredible. We absolutely loved them and of course, the new husband was really happy as well :)

Her attention to detail is incredble, and she has such a calm, professional, and warm presence that made getting ready for my big day such a joy. She made sure my team know how to place my veil and Vietnamese headpiece properly, and she provided touch up kits which were such a lifesaver throughout the day.
