Christa and the Blush team did an amazing job for my wedding! I booked them before having to postpone my wedding and change venues and she was super understanding and helpful throughout the whole process. Christa did my makeup and Rachel did my hair and they were both so attentive to my requests and made my vision come to life. The Blush team also did my 8 bridesmaids and my mom's hair and makeup and everyone truly looked and felt stunning. As a bride from a different part of the country planning a destination wedding, I couldn't have been happier to use Blush Makeup & Hair for my big day. read more

Christa and her team were wonderful. They did make up and hair for me, my 5 bridesmaids, and the two moms. The bridal preview helped immensely. Christa was very responsive and looking to do everything she could to make sure I looked perfect. I wear makeup on a regular basis, but bridal makeup is just a whole different look. It took me some time to get used to it, but I loved it so much I didn't want to wash my face at the end of the day! On our wedding day, Christa and team arrived on time in the morning, and it was just an incredibly relaxing and fun few hours. Believe me, you want to be surrounded with calm and bright people on your wedding day. :) Despite the record breaking heat, all our guests kept commenting on how cool and refreshed we all looked. And most of us kept our wedding curls for our relaxing Sunday by the pool! read more

Christa is absolutely amazing! We hired her for our recent wedding and she did the makeup and hair for my wife and her four bridesmaids. She accentuated each individuals unique characteristics and made them shine. One thing to note, our wedding venue was changed at the last minute from Napa to San Francisco due to the fires and Christa did not bat an eye. We saw her bright and early on the day of the wedding. We are extremely happy that she was able to make the location change on such a short notice. In addition to her doing an amazing job with makeup and hair she followed my wife around during the wedding to do touch ups. I have to say that while she was doing this she also helped as a coordinator to make sure that we stayed on time. I am extremely thankful that she was there and went above and beyond! read more

Christa and her team are amazing. Rachel did my hair and Christa did my makeup. The entire process with Christa from the scheduling of the trial to the day of the wedding was so easy. Christa and her team also did the hair and makeup of my 8 bridesmaids. Every single bridesmaid mentioned how much they loved their hair and makeup and they all looked beautiful and confident. For me, Christa and her team not only made me feel beautiful on both my rehearsal dinner day and my wedding day but they also helped me feel extremely relaxed. I truly felt pampered! They are such wonderful, kind, and sweet people who were so amazing to be surrounded by on my wedding day. I am eternally grateful for them and recommend them to everyone who wants both a relaxing and amazing hair & makeup experience. read more

I am so thankful that I booked a hair/make-up session with Christa for my photo shoot! I'm launching a new company website and needed professional photographs, and I coordinated with Christa for my hair and make-up needs so I could look ultra fabulous and feel super confident on my big day! Thanks to Christa, I showed up looking like my most feminine, beautiful self that day! Thank you so much, Christa!! read more

Down to earth kinda girl... I originally found Christa through craigslist after hunting high and low all over the internet. I has so many referrals of make up artists through word of mouth or a friend of a friend, but I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss out on any hidden gems. I am glad I trusted my gut and eventually stumbled on Christa. I viewed her website and found her prices to be very reasonable, a huge plus! I originally contacted her through email and she got back to me right away! After a few emails back and forth we decided to meet for a trial and Christa was willing to drive practically anywhere to meet me. Upon meeting we hit it off right away. What I loved about Christa was her professionalism, but she was also very easy to open up to. She listened to what I was looking for and added in her own suggestions. I ended up having a secondary trial for my bridesmaids and that's when I knew she would be perfect for the job. On the big day Christa arrived early and got right to work. She worked at a good pace considering she had to tackle 3 bridesmaids. She also faced a challenge of making sure my bridesmaids felt comfortable with the make up they had on especially since they are not heavy make up wearers. The final outcome was perfect, all the girls felt comfortable in their own skin and loved how they beamed! They all had that "J.Lo" glow! For me it's important to find the right person for the job not only because of their skills but their personality counts a lot for me too. Christa is a down to earth kinda girl and she makes everyone feel comfortable and brings out their natural beauty. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Christa and the Blush team on my wedding day, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. From my initial correspondence with Christa, to my trial, and finally to my actual wedding day, Christa was always responsive and timely, getting back to me quickly when I had questions, and always arriving exactly on time. She was able to accomplish the exact looks that I and my 5 other ladies were all going for, and I could not have been happier with the final result. To top it all off, she was so lovely to work with through the whole experience - on a day that can be so hectic and overwhelming, she was calm and sweet, making the whole day that much more wonderful. Could not recommend her and her team highly enough. read more

Christa is perfect! She is really responsible, friendly and detailed. She checked with me one week, two days and the day before my photo shooting day. Really appreciate her work. Alex was the one coming and doing my hair/makeup. She is friendly and professional as well! She did a great job! All of the photos came out well! I really enjoy working with them. I'll recommend them to whatever friends come to Hawaii next time!!! read more

Christa is extremely friendly, personable and, most importantly of all, professional. I had a 30 minute consultation with her where I explained everything I wanted. She was not only knowledgable about hair and makeup, but had some great suggestions about how I could look even more beautiful. I highly recommend her! read more

I only gave Christa about two days notice before my wedding for hair and makeup. She was very accommodating, especially with such short notice. She came the day of with everything I could possibly need and I didn't have to worry about a thing. My hair turned out perfect after showing her a couple pictures of what I wanted and my makeup lasted the whole day. We didn't get any practice runs since I was a little behind the curve but she knew exactly what I was going for. She even provided me with touch up make up for the day. I would highly recommend her! Very professional and super awesome at what she does! Thanks again! read more

I loved working with Christa! She's very professional and really takes the time to understand what you're looking for and customize according to your needs. She's great to work with and did a fantastic job on my wedding make up and hair! I also really enjoyed the trial session. I highly recommend her! read more

I am sooooooo incredibly glad that I picked Blush for my BIG DAY! Christa was so easy to work with and really helped ease the stress I was feeling. My skin is naturally bad (oily and with acne) so I was really worried about having makeup that would make my face greasy after a couple hours. I was also really afraid that I wouldn't look like ME. With Christa, none of these things happened. I told her my concerns and she mixed a makeup just for me. I have never felt and looked more beautiful. Completely worth it and so natural looking. She also did my mother who never wears makeup and she got sooooo many compliments. I'm so happy that Christa could make this day special for both me and my mom. I wish I could get this professional makeup all the time. read more

Christa is amazing! When I reached out to her she was able to accommodate me on very short notice (next day) and was able to come directly to my home to do both my hair and make-up. We had a family photo shoot and as a 7 month Pregnant Mom of a 2 year old I have lost some of the "pep in my step" over the past few years. When Christa arrived she was so kind and warm and I instantly felt relaxed and excited to have some glam time. I had no idea what I wanted but showed her our outfits and left the rest up to her. Christa gave me the perfect mix of natural and subtle but with a little bit of flair that made me absolutely beautiful. She was also to give me the same look for my hair and I practically strutted over to our pictures with complete confidence. I cannot thank Christa enough for giving this worn out Mama the boost I needed! If you need a professional, kind, warm and truly talented make-up artist give her a call, you will not be disappointed. I will absolutely be giving her a call for any occasion in the future. read more

I hired Christa to do makeup for myself and four attendants for my wedding in March. She was wonderful! I did two trials with her and she was so open to suggestions. She came to my place, which was so convenient. She was meticulous, easy to work with and the makeup was wonderful! We all looked fabulous on the wedding day and she was such a big part of it. Thanks Christa! read more

Christa did my make up for my engagement photos and wedding ceremony. she did awesome work and my make up was flawless. normally, i have oily skin and my face shines when i take pictures & sometimes it would even wear off throughout the day. i told Christa about this problem and the way she applied it, my make up lasted all day, with NO shine in my pictures. she is very personable and i highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for their special day or any other event.... read more

I strongly endorse Christa as your makeup artist! She was super accommodating and even traveled to me for my trial during the last week before my wedding to help alleviate the hectic week! I really appreciated the time that she took to answer and explain all the questions that I had. On the day of my wedding, she was on time and remained very calm during the hectic preparations, and for a bride right before her wedding, that is exactly what you need. She was totally prepared, super professional and was able to stay focused during the chaos! My makeup looked fantastic, and I looked better than I ever have in my photos! If only I could do my makeup like her, I would be a very happy woman! I wanted a natural look, but yet something that enhanced my face and she did exactly that. It lasted throughout the day, which my ceremony started at 2pm and ended with the reception at 11pm. She even gave me lipstick applications to take along with me for when it faded. I found Christa on The Knot, after researching around 30 different artist throughout the bay area. I'm really glad that I chose Christa, she is awesome! read more

I booked Christa about two months before my brother's destination wedding in Hawaii. She and Heather were very accommodating to our needs, including attending our rental home at 4am the morning of the wedding to get myself and four other women ready for the occasion. They did a fabulous job on our hair and makeup, and checked in with us throughout the session to ensure that we were happy with our look. They were very sociable and expressed interest learning about our cultural traditions. Our hair and makeup stayed in place throughout the hot August day - the ceremony was outdoors and in direct sunlight so I was a bit worried about getting too dolled up for the event, but our hair and makeup was perfect. We also had Christa and Heather booked for the reception the next night and again we were amazed with our hair and makeup... we received many compliments from family and friends. I told them that I would definitely recommend them to people travelling to Hawaii for special events and in need of hair/makeup services. Prices are very reasonable compared to what I pay in Vancouver. They are punctual and have you ready to go well before you need to walk out the door... they also stay a short-time after to ensure that everything remains in place. I would definitely book Christa and Heather for any future events! read more
