Everyone was beyond impressed with the results. Each one of us loved our looks! We felt empowered, fabulous and elegant. We even went along to joke around and say "this is the best we have ever looked"! haha Even though I don't wear make up often, Alex understood that I wanted a warm make up look along with strong coverage to fight any crying or sweating on the dance floor. She certainly delivered because my make up held the entire day! I really have never felt more beautiful! Aside from Alex's talent, she is great to work with! She was quick to respond to any questions and super easy to schedule with. She is punctual and incredibly organized! She has great energy, is welcoming and we had a ton of laughs together. There is no doubt that she set the tone for my entire day and I'm beyond grateful that she was my wedding make up artist! Please do not hesitate to book with Alex! You will not regret it!

We cannot recommend Violet highly enough for wedding hair and makeup! She was our artist for our…read moreOctober 2025 wedding at Solage in Napa, and she did an incredible job. Violet created two very different looks for me--one for our Friday welcome party and one for the wedding day--and she nailed both of them perfectly. Everything held up beautifully all night, through photos and hours of dancing! Beyond her talent, she was just a lovely and calming presence to have around. She was amazing with my family as well, making everyone feel comfortable and look their best. She was also so flexible and accommodating with several last-minute changes to our schedule, which we appreciated so much. We couldn't have been happier!

I hired Violet for my wedding hair and makeup years ago, and unfortunately did not have a good…read moreexperience. She did an amazing trial and I was so excited. The day of my wedding, she had extremely poor planning and time management, and decided it was smart to start me, the bride, last. 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.

Couldn't be happier asking Crystal to do hair and makeup for our wedding! She listened to what my…read morehusband and I wanted, and did makeup and hair for both of us. We liked the overall look; it was exactly what we wanted. She arrived at 5:30am since we wanted to be ready by 8, and was super friendly and energetic, despite the early start. She was also flexible and was able to do my mother's makeup as a last minute request. She gave me a little sample of the lip product, after I mentioned that I looked for it, but it was sold out. It was a very kind gesture to help make our day a little smoother.

Crystal did a fantastic job on my wedding makeup! I don't normally wear makeup (I had not worn…read moremakeup once in the 3+ years that I had been with my fiance), so at first, I was a little concerned about looking like "someone else" on my wedding day. 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. :)

It stayed perfect all day and night, and I received so many compliments! Not only is this team incredibly talented, but they are also the sweetest people to work with. They listened to exactly what everyone wanted and brought each look to life flawlessly. Maggie, thank you for making me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life. You really knocked my hair out of the park; it was PERFECT! I couldn't have asked for a better glam team, and I would recommend them to anyone getting married or needing hair styling for a special event. I absolutely loved working with all of you!

I discovered her when I worked in RWC, but my new job is back in SF and I still drive down from the city to see her every time I need a cut. Whether I want a drastic cut or just a trim, Julia knocks it out of the park, transforming my shaggy mop into sexy, stylish supermodel hair. I like that I can tell her broadly what I want (more layers, different length, more volume, etc.), and she somehow makes my request look even more flattering that I'd imagined. I'm also very skittish about my bangs, and Julia always takes great care to get the length just right. The salon is clean and brightly decorated, and they offer you coffee and snacks when you arrive. I like their simple online appointment booking system, and the fact that the salon is in a convenient location with easy parking nearby. YAY BLOOMING BEAUTY!

She was very flexible with times and willing to rearrange a few things when I mentioned it may be on her usual day off. When I arrived to her salon suite... I was very impressed by the clean and organized atmosphere, dark wood toned laminate floors, and little café nespresso machine all within her spacious work space. Even though I was a tad bit late, Alison, took her time and did a wonderful job on my hair! She is super down-to-earth, and for the first time in my life, I was probably more up into the hairdresser's business than she was into mine! LOL She's so mellow and sweet and knows exactly what she's doing when it comes to hair. I believe I've got a new favorite go-to spot for getting my lovely lady locks done! Thanks, Alison! :-)

My boyfriend started calling every salon in San Mateo with good reviews on yelp and left about 10 messages. Alissa called back within minutes. She dropped what she was doing to come in the morning of New Year's Eve to fix my hair! What I thought was not fixable looking amazing after she got done. She's extremely knowledgable and knows the chemistry and art behind hair coloring and correcting. She's detail oriented and takes time to make it perfect! Her salon is adorable and cozy. The color came out beautiful! And - she gave me a smokin deal since I had been through the mill and already paid through the nose to get my hair destroyed. Bottom line: I LOVE ALISSA! She's flexible, sweet and is an expert at what she does!

Ana took so much care when doing her hair, she paid attention to every detail and took her time to make sure she gets it perfectly done. When I saw my mother-in-law's end result, I was so shocked.

I had to wait outside the door for her. The procedure was extremely painful and I was tearing so much. She told me that my eyes were too sensitive and told me to take 2 Benadryl prior to the next appointment, so the eyeliners were left undone. I paid her full amount + nice tips which supposed to cover for both appointments. I followed her instruction and took Benadryl before the next appointment. The door was locked when I arrived. I called her cell phone, left a couple messages, waited for an hour while getting so drowsy from Benadryl. She did not show up and never returned my call. EVER! However, when I had someone else to leave a message to set up an appointment, she called back right away. What a way to run the business! I was really afraid to go back. I wanted to write the review back then, but never got around it. I recently went to A Perfect Line in Millbrae to finally correct the mess on my eyeliners and it was a night and day experience compare to this Permanent Cosmetique.
