10 stars. Hera is amazing. I've always struggled with getting my makeup done -- always coming out of them upset and never feeling like I knew what to communicate to the makeup artist. There was not much I needed to communicate to Hera -- she just knew how to work with my features and how to best compliment them! She has studied western and eastern makeup and she understands my face!!! Haha I went to her home/makeup studio to do a hair and makeup trial. My wedding was in SF and we were staying at the Marriott. Everything with her felt seamless. She was incredibly accommodating even after I felt annoying for adding on more bridesmaids etc to the makeup/hair list. I felt so beautiful and taken care of by her. She's incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. I'm excited to have her do more important events in my life :) read more

Hera is absolutely amazing and incredibly talented at what she does! She understood exactly what I wanted and went above and beyond. I loved everything about my makeup and hair on both days--my banquet day and city hall elopement day. Hera is kind, quick, professional, and knew exactly what my mom and I wanted. My mom had never worn makeup before, and Hera worked wonders, bringing out our natural beauty instead of masking it (the makeup/falsies also felt light and comfortable to be in all day long). My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day! I wanted a classic updo that looked full and natural but I have fine, thin hair and didn't think it would work. Fortunately, Hera is very talented and was able to make my low bun updo look full and natural with the perfect amount of volume! I can't say enough about her work--she's super talented, professional, and somehow knows exactly what the client wants without much direction. On top of that, she was easy to work with, always on time (if not early!), and incredibly accommodating. If you book with Hera, you won't regret it! read more

I hired Hera to do my wedding hair and makeup for my San Francisco City Hall wedding and I highly recommend her. I wanted a natural look that photographed well with an elegant updo and she hit the nail on the head. The photos turned out stunning! And that's not by chance, she looks at your photographers style in advance and adjusts her makeup choices to the filters they use. She's also so kind and gentle in her work. I never felt like I was pulled at and she was very accommodating to using low-scent hair products (due to my allergies). Thank you, Hera! read more

Hera did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, along with 9 other bridesmaids/family members. Her and her team were so, so amazing. They made sure to stick to the timeline and executed beautiful makeup and hair looks for everyone. Hera was also super open with communication and she gave me a lot of tips leading up the wedding day, so I felt perfect on the day of. Huge thank you to Hera & her team! read more

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 read more

Hera was an amazing hair & makeup expert for our wedding. We were in a bit of a stressful situation after our original HMU artist did not work out, and Hera truly came to the rescue! As someone who does not regularly do makeup, I was not well versed in beauty looks and had a hard time verbalizing what I wanted. Despite that, Hera did a perfect job in listening to what I liked / did not like and translating it into exactly what I wanted, even if I didn't know how to say it! Her style is a perfect blend of clean and glamorous, enhancing but not over-the-top. Working with her was easy and straightforward. She was easy to communicate with, gave her honest advice in a way that was helpful, and everyone felt very comfortable with her on the day of which was very important to us. If we could go back, we would have reached out to Hera sooner! Thank you Hera! read more

Hera is a truly talented professional and did an outstanding job with hair/makeup for myself, mom and MIL on my wedding day! She is very detailed and knew exactly how to style my hair and makeup to flatter my face and look glowing in photos. Furthermore she has a very calming presence to make you feel relaxed. Thank you Hera for making me and my family feel beautiful on our big day! read more

Hera is amazing! There were a lot of changing details to my wedding (who was getting what service done, how many people, time schedule) but Hera was so flexible and accommodating - and our hair and makeup style was exactly what I loved and envisioned. I'm highly particular about hair/makeup, and she made us all look beautiful. I'm also kind of particular on products, rest assure she really uses the best of the best products. She doesn't skimp on anything. The trial was great too - she tried out so many different hair/makeup styles on me. It really allowed me to have peace of mind for when settling on styles. She is talented, friendly, sweet. I was so glad she also did touch-up for me. It was calming amidst our wedding! I want to have more events so I can get more hair/makeup done by her! read more

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! read more

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!! read more

Hera and her team are incredible!! Hera has such a good eye and knew exactly what I wanted with barely any direction. My eyes looked twice as big as normal, and the curls in my hair lasted all evening. We were right on schedule and all of my bridesmaids and mother-in-law loved their hair and make up. She is also so great with kids- she made my flower girls feel super comfortable getting their hair and makeup done for the first time, and Hera was kind enough to stay a little later to accommodate my 3 year old niece's nap schedule which I did not plan for. I cannot recommend Hera enough!! read more

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! read more

After my trial session, she made sure to request and remember my feedback for what changes need to be made. My hair and makeup looked clean and perfect, and I received nothing but compliments! read more

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! read more

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. read more

I feel really comfortable working with her and I strongly recommend her to every bride. read more

Thank you Hera!!!! She made me the bride I wanted to be on my wedding day. She was very patient with me and understood what I wanted and executed my hair and make up perfectly. She is a professional at her job. I showed her pictures from instagram of how I wanted my hair to look like and she got it down perfectly. She listens to what I want and offered suggestions when there is a better way for the look to turn out. During the big day, we were in such a time crunch due to my poor planning, but even though she was given a short amount of time, Hera was still able to give me a new hair do for my ceremony and reception entrance. I don't know how she does it but whatever you are imagining the look to be like, she can get it done. With her skills and her magical hands, I was so impressed with the outcome. I received so many compliments of my appearance that day. 10/10 would recommend to my friends and family for their big day and special occasions as well. HERA YOU ARE AMAZING!!!! read more

Hera went above and beyond to make me look amazing on my wedding day! She arrived early to make sure she had enough time.

I am already planning to hire her again for my hair and makeup when I attend my friends wedding. The pics I attached are during the trial. When I receive my professional photos, I will do an update. read more

Hera is a very friendly, dedicated and beautiful makeup artist! She knows how the exact makeup and hair style that I wanted just by a few photos online. She was with us for a four hours engagement photo session. She not only helped set up my various looks, but also assisted my photographer to get the best photos. I believe she offers the most reasonable price here in the Bay Area and it's unbeatable with her outstanding profession. I would strongly recommend her to all the brides. read more

Hera did my hair and make up for my engagement shoot and on my wedding day! She was punctual, very kind, and easy to work with. I didn't have an idea of what kind of hair piece I wanted so I just let her choose based on pics of the dresses and she brought a variety and tested to see which ones looked best! I love that she knows what will look better in pictures and will recommend what's best. For engagement shoot, more dramatic eyelashes are better but then for my wedding day, she used shorter fragments of lashes pieced together for a more natural look. She did touch ups for me throughout the day and I was happy with the results. read more

Hera is very professional and I'm highly recommend to select her as your big day makeup artist! I had Hera for my SF city hall wedding ceremony. It was one of the hottest day in the year, almost 100 F. Hera did a very impressive job and her make up lasted over eight hours on that crazy hot day! I like her natural and clean style and she could finish makeup and hair styling in less 2 hours which is very amazing. She also uses very high end makeup products like CPB, Tom Ford and Hourglass. After I removed my makeup on that night, my sensitive skin was totally ok. In addition, I had Hera to start my makeup at six in the morning. She arrived at my place about 5:50am!
