    Hera doing my makeup, hiding the blemishes like a pro.
    Alice ..

    Hera is an AMAZING makeup artist and hair stylist. Kind, on time, and considerate / flexible. I am a NOT a woman who wears makeup so was nervous, and she made me look fantastic without looking like I came out of some sort of Castro street party (which seemed to be so many other options I looked at). I love Castro-amounts of makeup sometimes, but wanted a more classy look for my new husband who, is too conservative for flashy looks (and I tried that myself once and it was comically not me...) I was a big fan of her Instagram and had to go with Hera when I saw her incredible flexibility and ability to make a woman look beautiful naturally! I know what you may be thinking: 1) "This costs a bit more" I was hesitant at first as it was a bit more than some other vendors but 100% worth the price. 2) or "I don't need makeup, I'm good on my own" I did my first makeup trial with her - she will adjust to be as subtle or as bold as you wish. And, it will take all the stress off. 3) "what about this other vendor"? - I spent hours looking through other photos for trends and Hera can make a woman looks lovely and classy without insane layers. I could go on and on, but basically what I'm saying is pick Hera if you want to look like a woman out of a TV show you watch. Pro tips in general for bride-to-be's (in general): * If you feel weird about something - eg: the hair being up or down, then ask for it to be changed for the wedding day! I did that. Some looks are just not you / are you. You can be whatever you dream you want to look like * Bring photos of what you love on other people - eg - pinterest pics / insta screenshots * Do the makeup trial. I know I know it's expensive, but right after look honestly and decide what you love and what you want changed. Then you can just text Hera and she can adjust on your big day! Thank you Hera for making my husband fall in love with me again! haha

    Hera is a great makeup artist! Hera did my makeup for both the engagement photos and on my wedding day so the engagement photos were kind of like a makeup trial. I expressed I wanted to look more on the natural side so that was what she delivered beautifully but once the pictures came out, I preferred a little heavier makeup on my wedding day and Hera delivered. Hera touched up my makeup and hair throughout the engagement photos and I even got a second hairstyle! On my wedding day, Hera layered on enough makeup to hide my imperfections and I barely felt like I had makeup on! She also touched up throughout the day and I had three different hairstyles throughout the day/night. Hera is good at what she does and I received many compliments throughout the day! I highly recommend Hera! Don't hesitate and book Hera now!

    Love love love the updo Hera did for me on my wedding day. I have A LOT of hair which is very hard to manage. Nonetheless, the updo Hera did looked so effortlessly elegant. It looked perfect from every angle. Hera told me she doesn't usually curl the hair before the updo, which is what most stylists do. Curling helps hair to stay in place, but also makes it look fuzzy and messy. Instead, she straightens the hair. I think that's the secret that her updos are always elegant. I would definitely recommend Hera to any of my girlfriends for their big days. Ps, Hera was also my makeup artist and she did a fantastic job there too!!

    Hera is such a great makeup artist! I have Hera for my wedding ceremony and pre-wedding photoshoot. She's patient and professional, I really like her natural and clean makeup style, and the makeup lasted for 6 hrs and it still looked good. I love my experience with Hera and I highly recommend her to every bride!

    Where can I start? My wife, friends and family only spoke good things about Hera. She was attentive, detail oriented, she was a great listener to my wife's request. The outcome was, as my rating suggested, 5 Stars (Would gladly rate her more stars if that option is available). I personally does not like heavy make-ups. Hera was able to make use of less make-up for a "more" natural beauty look. Result was, as you can see in some picture I've posted, elegant but not excessive. I can go on and on, but all I wanted to say is, don't hesitant to give Hera a call and book her service. You will be glad you did when you see the end result!

    Hera is very professional, yet ever-so friendly. I was doubtful to have my hair in an up-do because of its heaviness, but she reassured me that it can be done. And as she promised, my hair held its place without falling down throughout the entire day! The quality of the makeup products she used were stunningly beautiful. She always kept her area tidy and her makeup brushes were noticeably clean. The entire experience with Hera was truly a joy and she made me feel like my most beautiful self. I received compliments from my family and they had to know where I got makeup & hair done :) I would most definitely recommend her to anyone!

    Hera is amazing! I have attended Hera's makeup class and hired her to do my makeup for my wedding. She made my look beautiful without caking on pound of makeup. All my friends and families love my makeup. Highly recommended!

    Hera is so professional and amazing! She first did my makeup and hair for my studio portraits and gave a lot of advice on how to carry a natural makeup on a daily basis. I got so many compliments on that studio portraits makeup. The hair style Hera designed was great as well, I just love that. Later I decided to attend Hera's makeup class, that was a great class. Hera is so skilled and talented. I had a great experience with Hera, highly recommended!

    Hera is truly talented, skilled and absolutely amazing. She is kind, patient, and willing to go the extra miles for her customers. I fell in love with my hairdo and makeup on my wedding day. Even though I was not sure what hair style I wanted, she was open to give me suggestions based on the dresses that I had. She even looked up hair salons for me when I asked for her advice. She went above and beyond to make sure I was relaxed and worry-free on my big day. Definitely recommend her service to any brides. It was such a pleasure to work with her.

    Hera did a beautiful job on my makeup and hair for me, my mother, and my mother in law on my wedding day. She was professional, punctual, and accommodating of our needs. I would strongly recommend her.

    She did all three of us!!

    Hera did a phenomenal job doing my makeup and hair and my friends' for prom. She really understood how to work with my central Asian face structure and especially my mono-eyelids. Also, she knew which colors would work with my skin tone. This was such a plus because I had an uneven complexion and she made my skin look flawless. Hera also provided a super insightful consultation on the color scheme for my makeup and dress. I've always had a difficult time with my eyebrows but she shaped them and they looked A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Throughout and after prom, my makeup looked the exact same as when I had left the house. My hair also stayed curly the entire time; she is extremely detail-oriented. I had a couple sample pictures of what I wanted and she transformed my look. Hera completely exceeded my already high expectations and made me feel absolutely beautiful. Next year, she will definitely be doing my makeup for senior prom.

I did a makeup trial for our engagement photo session a few months before the wedding, and Crystal created a natural look that accentuated my best features. Crystal was able to replicate the same look for the wedding. I received many compliments on my makeup in the engagement photos and on my wedding day. Thank you, Crystal! In addition to being a top-notch makeup artist, Crystal was a pleasure to work with -- she was responsive to emails and flexible with scheduling (about a week before the wedding, I realized that it would be better if she could start at 9 am on our wedding day instead of the previously agreed upon 10:30 am, and she was able to accommodate the change). Also, Crystal's good taste in music may not seem particularly relevant in this situation, but the music she streamed during the trial and wedding makeup sessions helped create a cheerful and celebratory mood, which helped me relax. I am hoping that one of my friends will get engaged soon SO that I could recommend Crystal. :)

That resulted in me literally being late, with her rushing to finish. The end result was a mess, it was awful. When I texted her photos afterwards politely expressing my disappointment (with trial and wedding photos attached), she did not offer to refund me but instead offered to redo my hair and makeup again for wedding photo retakes - strange, as how I clearly could not retake photos from that day and had no plans to pay tons of money for another post-wedding photo shoot?? Would have preferred my money back. Or better planning to begin with.

She suggested a pink look would look better and I was impressed because I felt the same way.

She even taught my bridesmaids how to help put on and remove my veil without messing up my hair or the flowers in it! She knew how to solve any and all makeup/hair issues with no problem; it was obvious that she's very knowledgeable and experienced. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event!
