I just had my wedding this past weekend, and I'm so glad that I booked Linda! She made my bridesmaids look beautiful, as well as styling my mother-in-law. In addition, she was very accommodating and styled my hair after my MOH struggled to do it herself (agreement was originally only 2 bridesmaids + MIL). We all got compliments, so you know her work was good. Linda went above and beyond, she's worth every penny and more! read more

Linda did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my formal dinner party event! I had sent her a few photos of the look I wanted for my makeup, as well as a few looks for my hair. She arrived on time and applied my makeup so perfectly that when I finally was able to look in the mirror, the only touch up I needed was a little darkening of my brows. She also did a great job with my hair and finished my look beautifully! I am very picky, especially when it comes to hair and makeup because I can apply my own. However, I was really pleased with Linda's work and she made me look like a princess! Not only is she incredibly talented with applying makeup to different face types to bring out your natural beauty, she is also very sweet and friendly! I don't live in the area anymore, but come back often to see friends and family. If I am ever in need of a pro to make me beautiful, I am calling Linda! She really is talented and a pleasure to work with! read more

Linda was recommended to us by family. She is very affordable and so easy to work with. She is also very polite and kind. My wife absolutely loved the outcome of her hair and makeup. I on the other hand liked it only because I'm against woman dolling themselves up. Be natural ladies! it's sexier to most men!!! Linda explained to me that makeup and hair add a lot to the ladies in photos. She was absolutely right. My wife looked amazing! Another thing I have to say about Linda is her professionalism. She was always on time even though she was sick on the main session!!! Linda wore a face mask so she wouldn't get my wife sick. Linda's commitment to her passion is simply awesome... THANK YOU LINDA! HOPEFULLY ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER WILL HIRE YOU AND WE GET TO SEE YOU AGAIN! UNTIL THEN BEST WISHES!!! - Don & Diane L. read more

I am extremely pleased with Linda's services. I am so glad that I found her through Wedding Wire.  Linda and her colleague did a wonderful job for me, my bridesmaids, MIL, and my grandmother. I did not have a specific vision for my bridal makeup but Linda was very helpful in collaborating with me and discussing what might look best according to my dress, wedding colors,etc. I ended up loving the final look for both my hair and makeup. Linda was courteous, professional, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole getting ready process. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda to future brides. read more

I don't have the best skin but when I engaged Linda to do my makeup and hair and on my wedding and wedding reception, she did an amazing and fantastic job. She's super professional and listens to what you want; especially I am not the kind of girl who's into heavy makeup like most Asian girls do. Linda picked the right color and the airbrush makeup didn't smudge or smear at all! She is very conscientious and make sure she did an awesome job by applying all the makeup products so carefully and evenly. Linda is also responsive to my endless emails and questions since our consultation session. I love her professionalism, punctuality and her meticulous attitude! If you're looking for a professional makeup artist on your big day, then I totally recommend this sweet lady! read more

Linda is an incredibly talented make up artist who did my make up for my engagement photo session. She's very responsive when I tried to arrange the appointment time. She was open to suggestions and eager to know how I imagine my engagement photo shoot would be like, what dresses I would wear, etc. On the D-day, she showed up on time, worked efficiently, and made my eyes really dramatic and beautiful. Her make up lasted the whole day, no smudge, no mess, no re-touch. Some people said make up is not that important for engagement photo session, but a touch from Linda will do wonders. You will realize later and thank her later that you look really beautiful and the make up look really natural in the pictures. I knew she did the make ups for many of my friends on their wedding day, and all of them are superb, very natural, and gorgeous. read more

I truly could not speak more highly of Linda in every step of the process. From the beginning she was professional, accommodating, and completely open to feedback- she truly wanted me to look exactly how I had envisioned on my wedding day and did everything possible to make me feel 100% comfortable going into it. Because I wasn't entirely happy with how my skin looked after the first trial (because of my skin's reaction to the makeup, not Linda's skills), she met with me again, and then a third time until we found the perfect face makeup. On the day-of Linda provided a sense of calm throughout the four hour process of (with an assistant) doing hair and/or makeup for me, two bridesmaids, and two mothers. She had a big task as well with setbacks from my mother being very sick, me crying, a photographer in our small space, and general stress right before the wedding. As soon as I saw myself in the mirror when she was finished I could not have felt more beautiful and at that moment I knew I was ready to enjoy this day I had spent 9 months planning. My now-husband could barely believe his eyes when he saw me, and I felt like the most elegant and beautiful bride in existence. I couldn't be happier with Linda and would highly recommend her for both hair and makeup! read more

Linda is AMAZING! When I first started looking around at hair and makeup people in the bay area I was shocked about the extremely high prices. I came across reviews for Linda on yelp and was pleased to discover that her prices were very reasonable. After I met her and did a trial run I was thrilled with my choice. Linda was so patient, talented, sweet and most of all did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup and my maid of honor's makeup. She really listened to what we wanted and knew exactly what would look good on us. I really couldn't have made a better choice for my wedding day. Thanks Linda! read more

Elegante Beaute - My maid of honor & myself...make up by Elegante Beaute - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was part of the bridal party for my friend's wedding and Linda did hair/makeup for the bride and makeup for us bridesmaids. Her assistant Kelly did my hair. Both ladies were an absolute pleasure to have! Linda knew exactly how to work with my face type for the makeup. I also told her that eye products hate to stay in place on me. She worked her magic and somehow everything was still perfect 12 hours later. I was ill-prepared and hadn't considered how to do my hair beforehand. Luckily, I was able to Pinterest a few photos on the spot and show Kelly styles that I liked. She was able to pull together a hybrid of a couple of styles and I absolutely LOVED it! She also had some magic in her - my hair was still perfect 12 hours later, just like my makeup~ :D I felt so pretty all day~ Both ladies were so professional and fun to work with. They really listen to what you want and are happy to keep fixing something until you're completely satisfied. I would most definitely recommend Elegante Beaute to anyone looking for special occasion hair and makeup. read more

Linda did an amazing job on wedding hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. Throughout the entire process she was easy to communicate with and very thoughtful about my concern doing an up-do with my really thin hair and having my scalp show through in places it should not. Even more, her rates were among the best of all the makeup and hair artists I researched in the Bay Area, so she is incredibly affordable and her quality of work is outstanding. We had a makeup and hair trial several months prior to my wedding day and overall I was very happy with those results, but Linda really wanted to make sure everything was absolutely perfect and so she scheduled another hair and makeup trial FOR FREE to ensure that my scalp was fully covered by my up-do and that my makeup was spotless. Between the first and second makeup trials Linda also researched and discovered a new way to use eyelid tape to even out my eyelids so we played around with the new tape at the second trial. I liked the new tape and decided to use that on my wedding day. On my wedding day Linda and her assistant arrived promptly at my hotel in Berkeley and got to work doing our hair and makeup. Linda listened to my bridesmaids' comments and concerns and made sure they were comfortable with their makeup. As for me, I could not have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. While I was really happy with both makeup and hair trial results, Linda went above and beyond on my wedding day to truly make me look flawless. She did my makeup in such a way where it would pop in photos but not look overly heavy in real life. My hair up-do was absolutely perfect. Not a bit of scalp showed through besides my hair part and the up-do had great volume. Our makeup and hair stayed perfect throughout the entire day and evening. I was sweating and dancing like a mad woman on the dance floor towards the end of the night but no makeup smudged and my hair did not lose its oomph. That gives credence to the high quality of makeup and hair products that Linda uses. I strongly recommend Linda for any event in which you want to look and feel like a queen! read more

Linda did a great job w/my makeup. I was a bridesmaid for my best friend's wedding and the pictures turned out great. I usually wear VERY little makeup, so I was kind of freaked out with how much she did originally, but she was really nice about it and toned it down to what I was comfortable with. I also broke out the week before the wedding, and she was able to cover the remnants of my blemishes really well. Everything turned out great, and again, my pictures turned out really nice. read more

Linda did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for my small backyard brunch wedding. Linda was knowledgable on all things makeup and hair. I showed her a few pictures of hairstyles I liked and she helped me narrow them down based on the type of hair I had, the casual style of my wedding, and my outfit. For example, I wanted a hairstyle that required a lot of thick hair, which I do not have. Linda said she might need extensions to successfully execute that look. I decided I did not want extensions, but she still tried to recreate the look at my trial. When we were done, my hair did not look as full as it did in the picture example. Linda was quick to suggest another style that would suit my hair better, and that was the one we went with on wedding day. It was beautiful (and held all day- from 9am to 12am at night). Linda was on-time to the trial and wedding day, she was a perfectionist and stayed a little longer on both occasions to make sure I was happy, she was responsive via email, reasonably priced, and delivered a flawless look. I received tons of compliments on my hair and makeup all day. I truly felt beautiful with my outfit, hair and makeup, and I have Linda to thank! I would definitely recommend her to all brides considering hair and makeup services for their wedding, or any special occasion. read more

Linda is a fabulous hair and make up artist. When I first met Linda , I felt like I had already known her. She made me feel so comfortable. I knew right away that I had nothing to worrie about. My make up and hair came out great. Linda made me feel like the most gorgious Bride. Everything came out perfect, just the way I wanted it. I got so many compliments from friends and family. They said that I looked like a model. She also worked on my mom, mother and law and bridesmaids who where all very impressed and satisfied. If I have any other big event I will make sure to contact Linda again and again. I really like how she is very professional . read more

Linda is awesome! She's very professional and accommodating. She was my sister's mua for her wedding few years back, and without any hesitation I also hired her for mine. She is exceptional!!! Very talented and she really does go above and beyond to make sure that you will look good and be happy throughout the process. Last thing a bride needs to worry about is her mua not delivering to commitments, and with Linda, this will never be a problem. Thank you very much!!! read more

Linda is super AWESOME in every single way!!! She is very accommodating and does her best to fit into my schedule. She gave me very professional advice to postpone my photoshoot as I had these terrible suntan lines. I had a very easy time liaising with her as she is prompt in replying and ensuring she has sufficient time to prepare me. On the actual day, she was on time and ensure that I have enough time to rest before the shoot starts. During the shoot, she will lug her huge makeup box and she even helped our photographer with the lights and props! Felt so bad... thou she kept saying it's alright. I really had a lot of fun with her during the shoot! She has a great eye for colors to match my complexion and outfits! She insisted to change the color of my eyeshadow to match my evening gown after I changed out from the day dress. She would risk having car sick, just to add her magical touch to my eyes (thank god, our photographer had some sweets with him:)) and we ran for touching up at the red lights as the guys were still scrolling to catch up with us. Those were such fun times! I will still engage Linda for our future shoots in USA, she's simply the BEST! Thanks LINDA! ~Hui Shan Kelly read more

This review is loooong overdue! Linda did my make-up for my cousin's wedding this past August and let me tell you, all my family and friends were in awe of Linda's work. She really listens to what your preferences are and not only that, her technique and application is flawless! We had an early appointment 7am appointment and Linda was on-time with all her fun makeup tools ready to go at 6:50am! She was professional, super friendly, and talented artist. If you want to look and feel like Miss Universe for a day, reach out to Linda and she'll make that happen! I am recommending her to a friend who is entering a beauty pageant...yes, she's that fabulous!! read more

I want to start this review with a BIG THANK YOU to Linda for making me look beautiful and elegant on my wedding day!! Linda did an awesome job (again)! She did my hair & makeup for my engagement sessions. I was really happy with the result so I wasn't worried at all about my wedding makeup because I knew I was in a good hand. And I was right! Linda is very professional, she listened to everything that I needed, she pays attention to details and made sure I feel comfortable with everything (e.g., you know those hair extensions sometimes can hurt you. She didn't mind taking them off and putting them back on again so it didn't hurt me). Linda and her assistants also did hair & makeup for the two mothers, two bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid and my two aunts. They all looked gorgeous on my wedding day! So for all the brides out there, have Linda as your makeup artist and you sure will look beautiful on your big day! read more

Linda did a wonderful job on my hair & makeup for my wedding! She was very flexible about listening to what I wanted. She was also able to get an assistant to do hair & makeup for my bridesmaid when it turned out we couldn't get into the venue early enough for her to do both of us. I'd highly recommend Linda! read more

Below is the review I wrote back then in 2011 that was filtered. I want this review to show as I'd really recommend Linda to anyone need make-up artist. She is a very nice person and does very good work. From the beginning communicating with Linda only through numerous emails, I have felt that she is very accomodating and professional. She responded to my email promptly and answered all of my concerns and questions. We made several changes to our group and meeting places and she is so flexible and made her adjustments along the way. Our make-up and hair turned out to be so fabulous and modern. She was right on time and everyone finished right on schedule. One of our party changed her mind about the hair style that was already done, so Linda was nice and quick to change her hair style to her satisfaction. The experience with Linda was all good from the beginning till the end. read more

Linda is fantastic !!!! Linda did my bridal make up,Hair and Flowers for my "25th Wedding Anniversary". Linda is very professional, responsive,humble and very easy to work with and not something you can say about every vendor you work with Linda for both Flowers,hair and make up. The Make up and Hair came out great and got a lot of compliments on my wedding day. And especially my Husband kept telling me that I look amazing and He's very happy for what Linda did. My husband said,the make up look very natural in the pictures which was exactly the way He want and my makeup lasted the whole day. I also did follow Linda's recommendation when we buy flowers that would match up our budget. I have to say,she was the perfect person for the job responsible and very charming person. Overall,she did the job amazing and the whole family was happy and the peoples at the wedding was surprise cause,I was look totally Awesome. Thank you,Linda for making me look more younger at the wedding After 25 years marriage. read more

Linda provided her services of hair and makeup for my wedding for me and 2 bridesmaids in September 2012. What a truly amazing experience! From the beginning to end Linda showed me she is very talented and extremely professional. I was put at ease from the first point of communication with her demeanor and the straightforward way she gives you the details of all phases while keeping in mind all of my individual requests and concerns. I did a trial for hair and makeup and together we experimented and found the perfect look. On the big day I was pleased to see how she went above and beyond to make me and my girls look and feel so special. I will be forever thankful for choosing such a class act for this crucial part of my wedding. It was even easier to enjoy the whole experience because her fees are very reasonable and worth every penny and more. I loved that I looked beautiful and NATURAL. Thank you, Linda. I hope to have another fabulous event soon to have you help me again. read more

I worked with Linda to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. What drew me to her is her ability to make you look stunning without looking too made-up. She was very punctual, and responded to emails very quickly, so it was very easy to communicate with her. She was able to reproduce the look I had in mind almost to perfection (with some minor adjustments during the trial). Even though the trial and my wedding was 6 months apart, she remembered what I wanted and did my hair + makeup perfectly. I got plenty of compliments on my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Not only was Linda efficient in her skills, she was such a sweet and caring person. Thanks Linda! read more

If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would give Linda a 10 stars for her extraordinary talent and excellent services. If you are looking for a make up artist for the pre-wedding and/or wedding session, just hire her and you would be at peace on mind. On my wedding day, I was overwhelmed with joy, I couldn't hold my tears and I cried a lot, and she became my lifesafer! She was always there to fix me! During consultation session, she was so great in communicating her ideas, she gave a lot of great and helpful advice to me, my mom and my bridesmaids. I really recommend Linda to be your make up artist on your special day, she proved it by making my wedding even more beautiful, she made me the happiest bride on my wedding. Thanks Linda. read more

I first worked with Linda earlier this year as a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. I was really happy with the honest feedback she gave my friend in her trial, her timeliness, and also her vision as a hair and makeup artist! For my own wedding, I decided that I wanted an artist who did both hair and makeup to simplify scheduling. I was also initially unsure whether it would be hard to coordinate trial times and traveling as she's based in San Jose and the wedding was in the Peninsula, but I'm so glad I decided to go with Linda! She was prompt in answering emails and was accommodating of my schedule. At my hair and makeup trial, she really took my thoughts to heart and remembered all my preferences on the wedding day without needing to prompt her about the look I wanted almost 5 months after. After my makeup trial, she requested photos from the engagement shoot so we would have a better idea of what to change/add for the photography. I appreciated that kind of thought and was overall very happy my hair and makeup which stayed put for 12+ hours! I thought she also did a great job on my bridesmaids and my mom. (: To top it all off, Linda is amazingly sweet and exactly the kind of person you want to share getting ready for your wedding day with. Hair and makeup was seriously one of the things I researched the most on in wedding planning because it is such an investment (you're going to look that way in the wedding pictures forever!). After everything, I'm so glad I chose to work with Linda that day! read more

Linda is an amazing artist. She made sure she made the bride look like a princess. She listened very carefully and kept adjusting the look until it was perfect! Not only is she a master at her craft but also a great person to have by your side on your most important days. She is patient, caring, very friendly and funny. All the attributes you need in someone when you are under just a teensy bit of stress. I highly recommend her for naturally beautiful and smoky evening looks. read more

If you're looking for a talented and professional hair/makeup artist, look no further--Linda is the best! She did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot and the makeup did not feel heavy at all. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup so I wanted a natural look with dramatic eyes and she did just that! She listens to what you want, gives you her suggestions, and always always always makes sure you are happy with how it turns out. She's a perfectionist, which is a not a bad thing when it comes to hair/makeup. We did a hair/makeup trial run before my actual wedding day. I showed Linda a picture of the updo I wanted and she recreated the look exactly how I wanted it. I wasn't sure what makeup style I wanted so I told her to do what she thought would look good, but again not too heavy. She took her time and created a look that I was very happy with. On my actual wedding day, she showed up bright and early and exactly on time (she is always punctual to her appointments). She recreated the look that we did at the trial and I received a ton of compliments on my hair and makeup that day. The makeup lasted through sunshine,heat, and wind (we had an outdoor wedding at noon) and did not clog my pores! I always worry when having my makeup done because the makeup is usually caked on and I have very sensitive skin. Linda used airbrush foundation on my face and shoulders so it wasn't heavy at all (but still created enough coverage) and did not irritate my skin. Linda is the sweetest person and a very talented hair/makeup artist. She's fun to work with and very good at what she does. She makes sure you are comfortable and makes you feel beautiful. I would definitely recommend her if you're looking for someone to do your hair/makeup at your next event! Thanks Linda!! read more

Linda is amazing! She did a wonderful job on my wedding hair and makeup and did exactly everything I asked for. Linda is very sweet, professional and responded to all of my emails and questions and was extremely easy to work with. Linda is an extremely talented hair and makeup artist. She was also able to get an assistant to help with all my bridesmaids hair and makeup, they all looked great! Choose Linda to make you look beautiful for your special occasion, you won't regret it! read more

I love love Linda! I've had nothing but the best experience with her make up skill. She has done an amazing job on my makeup on two occasions now. I love her attention to detail and the way they deliver the look i've asked for. read more

Our wedding was in August, and Linda was amazing to work with from the initial trial through the wedding day. She's very down to earth and super sweet, and her work clearly shows the experience and knowledge from years working in the wedding industry. Throughout the trial, Linda took the time to go through every step with us and was very transparent with her techniques. She answered all of our silly questions, explained different makeup brands, how well they work on different skin types, and how to use them if we decided we liked them enough to buy them ourselves. She even let us take photos of her tools for reference. She was super pleasant and clearly looking out for our best interests every step of the way. Even though I wasn't 100% sure what I wanted for a bridal look, all she needed to see was a few Pinterest photos and she worked her magic. Kudos to Linda for being able to tackle my hair, because I have a TON of it. I'm Asian and never wear much makeup, so I was very concerned about the bridal makeup being too heavy and didn't want to look like a clown- but Linda knew how to do things just enough for photos while keeping tasteful. The trial session was very educational and helpful, I would definitely recommend booking one with her. Linda was always very prompt and professional with email correspondence and kept in constant contact via text on the wedding day. She fought through awful festival traffic and downtown parking to get to our hotel room on time- she was the first one to show up even before our bridal party! Even though others were late, Linda was very patient and it was clear her priority was to make sure every bridesmaid was satisfied with their look. She accommodated all adjustments and requests until each girl was happy. Additionally, she went beyond the call of duty and even took the time to pose in our "getting ready" shots for the photographer. She even stayed later than her appointed time, and was still leaving reminders about touchup on her way out. Linda did a wonderful job and I can't recommend her enough. I never needed to worry about my makeup or much touchup (even after some waterworks) and having that peace of mind on my wedding day was invaluable. THANK YOU AGAIN!!! read more

Linda is amazing! She did hair and make-up for my two sisters, mother and myself for a family wedding at my sister's home in Silver Creek. Everyone raved about our make-up and hair at the wedding. We will definitely hire her to do our hair and make-up moving forward. Linda is a talented, thoughtful professional, bringing out all of our natural beauty - five stars all around! read more

Linda is such a talented makeup and hair artist! She's so sweet and fun to work with too! Before the trial session for my wedding, I sent her photos of hair and makeup that I liked. For the first trial session, I asked for a real smoky eye and long lashes. It turned out perfect and I absolutely loved it! But then I thought I should tone it down a bit since it's my wedding and not a club. But since I'm so picky and need to know exactly how everything will be before the big day (including the flowers, music, lighting, cake, table linens...), I scheduled a second session just for my makeup. She charged a very reasonable fee and of course the makeup turned out just how I wanted it! The day of our wedding, Linda and her assistant arrived early to setup, all wide awake and ready - at 7am! My bridesmaids and mother-in-law all loved their makeup and/or makeup! And I absolutely loved mine! The makeup was applied so precisely and perfectly. I'm so glad I found someone who knows how to correctly apply makeup for Asians. I've been to several makeup artists (at department store makeup counters) that do not know how. I would leave the counter looking like a raccoon. I'm also very happy with how everything looked in our photos. Sometimes with the usual everyday makeup I put on, it often looks like I don't have much makeup on. But for our wedding photos, the makeup was just right. You could tell I had enough on, but it did not look like I was too made up. She did the most beautiful makeup and hair for me! Thank you Linda! I will be calling you the next time I need makeup done. Holiday party? Can't wait! read more

Linda is a great make-up artist. She is very friendly. She made me look great in the pictures. She is very on-time person and caring about your opinion. I highly recommend her for great appearance and great photo shots read more

SHE IS MY SAVIOR!!!! after 4 trials from different make-up artists, I have decided to consult wedding wire and there I found "ELegant Beaute" It was fate that a make-up artist whom i have booked previously didnt work -out few months before my actual wedding...oh well, im not about to settle to anyone just because...i have decided to book 2 more trials to make sure i pick the right one...what a relief meeting Linda was a breath of fresh air...she nailed it "just the type of make-up and look that Im going for"...i had my wedding last saturday April 6, 2013 " I have heard so many compliments from my guests and even strangers whom i bumped into the hotel..she extended her magic to all my bridal party and yes they all looked equally stunning. she is very calm and very pleasant...she is a darling !!! Yes make-up can do wonders but it can also be the cause of disaster...a good make-up artist can make a masterpiece out of someone but a bad make-up artist can turn a masterpiece to a mediocre...LINDA is a real make-up GURU and I will go with her in a heartbeat for a great beauty :) read more

Linda was amazing! She was incredibly professional and was very responsive through out the entire process, not something you can say about every vendor you work with. I used Linda for both hair and make up, as did members in my bridal party. I did a trial with Linda prior to booking her for my wedding and I was impressed from the very beginning. In a matter of hours, she transformed me into what I had always dreamed of I would look like on my wedding day, from just a short conversation and a few photos. After leaving the appointment, I found a few small things that I really wanted to change for the day of. I emailed her about the changes and got an immediate response. She assured me I did not need to pay for another trial, but that she would be able to make all those changes on the day of without a problem. I was a little hesitant not to do another trial, but she was absolutely correct. From those few short emails, she was able to make every change we had discussed perfectly. She has clearly had a vast amount of experience because she gave me the information for the lipstick I would be wearing that day in the event I wanted to purchase it for touch ups, something I hadn't thought about yet. On the day of, she showed up right on time and got straight to work. She was very flexible with the order of events considering other members of my bridal party were using her as well. She had given me a general timeline for events and she was spot on. One of the things I was looking for when searching for a hair and make up artist was personality. I knew this person would be in my bridal suite all day and I wanted to ensure this person would be personable and keep stress to a minimum and I have to say she was the perfect person for the job. She kept everything very calm and ensured I had any time I needed for other items even while she was working on me. I was very impressed with her right at the end of the day as well. After she finished with me, she didn't take off right away. I was getting dressed and taking pictures and she waited there to ensure anything I needed right up to the wedding was taken care of. This to me was above and beyond anything she needed to do. She stayed there until I was almost ready to walk down the aisle to assure that if I messed anything up she was there to fix it. Linda is an amazing person to work with and I would recommend her to anyone. Everyone in my bridal party loved working with her as well and they were also very impressed with her work. She truly helped create a memorable day. read more

Linda is the sweetest person on the planet and she does the best hair and makeup. In all my life, I have never felt romantic, but that's how she made me feel on my wedding day. The hair was beautiful, the makeup was beautiful, and she was great. She did hair and makeup for my mom and bridesmaids as well, and they looked fantastic. Linda was flexible and wanted to make sure that we were happy with our final look. She also had an assistant there to help. I was happy to find out that her assistant also had her own company but her and Linda take turns helping each other. I was glad that I wasn't getting someone who was learning, or fresh out of school. We got true professionals and the results were evident. I highly recommend her and I will use her any time I ever need my hair and makeup done. read more

Linda was very professional and did an amazing job with my makeup. She was very open to input and took the time to ask what I preferred. I felt that she did a great job of opening up my eyes, picking out the colors that matched well with my skin tone, and made sure that everything would show up in pictures but at the same time not look to dark / garish. I usually use a lot of black eyeliner and it was really nice to see makeup that stood out and looked great without needing a lot of the black eyeliner. She took time to do some face contouring, I saw that she also helped the other bridesmaids with eyelid tape, and she also fixed my horrible tanlines so that they were not as noticeable in pictures. She also took the time to let me know what brand/colors were the blush and lipstick she used on me after I asked. Also at the end of the night, the makeup stayed firm, and very minor smudging (which was less than I expected given wedding tears and the way my eyelids work). Overall Linda took the time to produce a great and professional look, she listened to what we wanted and had a pleasant personality which all contributed to an overall positive experience. Would definitely recommend to friends for a wedding! read more

Linda and her assistant did an amazing job!! My wedding was June 28, 2015 so this post is a little late. But I have to give Linda the recognition that she deserves. I planned my wedding all the way from Boston area, so having a vendor who has everything together was essential for me. Linda was just that, she was professional and was easy to communicate with via phone and email whenever I had questions or ideas to run by her. She truly listened to my suggestions and ideas. Also she was very flexible in fitting me into her busy schedule when I came down to visit the area, in order to have my makeup and hair trial done. I must also note how her organization and itinerary made my wedding day go very smoothly, we were even an hour before schedule and everyone looked amazing. They did a full wedding parties makeup and hair (4 bridesmaids, flower girl, and bride), and the results were very top quality. We looked amazing all day. I would recommend Linda to anyone with out hesitation! read more

Linda was wonderful to work with. She was responsive to emails and accommodating, always checking and making sure that I liked the look throughout the trial session and also on the wedding day. On D-Day, Linda came in on time as planned and worked efficiently. She did a wonderful job for me and my bridal party. We only had such a short window of time for the touch up (in between the ceremony and reception) but Linda maintained calmness and worked efficiently. I highly recommend Linda. :) read more
