Everything from the test run to the actual day went smoothly and to my surprise fun. For the test, she did two makeup looks when I was unsure of the first, and nailed the hair look I was going for from the reference photos. I'm a novice when it comes to hair and makeup so not super confident explaining my vision, Aimee kept it light and fun and most importantly made me feel calm and safe. I've already recommended her to a friend for her wedding, and I will keep making those recommendations for as long as she's in this business!

There are not enough words to express how amazing Amy has been. My original wedding date had to be…read moremoved due to unforseen circumstances and both my hair AND make-up person cancelled because of prior scheduled engagements. So I yelled for a stylist in Long Beach, read reviews and contacted Amy. She was quick with her response and very patient with me. She assured me everything will turn out ok and scheduled me to do a trial run before the wedding. Fast forward to the day of the wedding... my sister decided to bring her own stylist and wanted me to use her stylist. I wasn't sure about her since I didn't get a trial run with her, so I waited to see how my sister turned out. Even then... Amy was very understanding and polite. She said all was ok and it was my day and my choice. After seeing my sister, I stuck with Amy and in the end I was beyond satisfied with the outcome. Amy is amazing. Oh... her prices are sooo reasonable too!!! I saved so much from my original costs from the original hair AND makeup person. I would definitely recommend Amy any day

She came with her assistant and was very professional on my wedding day. Went above and beyond. She created the hair style look straight from the pictures I shown her. I didnt even do a pre-trial. The make up lasted all day into the evening as promised. I would recommend paying for the pre-trial makeup to have a better idea.

Elizabeth was great to work with. We did both a natural look and a little more glamorous look and I…read moreloved both. I work on camera so I've spent a fair amount of time in the makeup chair. I loved the color choices she made with my makeup and the time she spent covering up a scar of mine. She made the area look pretty darn close to flawless. In fact, her scar cover up technique worked better than any makeup artist I've known. She's low key, friendly and was also very helpful during the shoot... which are all huge pluses. Highly recommend Elizabeth!

I can't wait!

Trial: I braved rush hour traffic down to Newport Beach from mid-Wilshire for the trial. Even though I had left work early, I still ran a bit late; but Nicole was warm and welcoming and took her time to listen to what I wanted. I can never get my eyeliner perfect because my creases are uneven (Asian girls understand what I mean about creases!), but lo and behold...Nicole made it look so easy!! Wedding Day: Nicole was on time and after doing hair and makeup for some of my bridal party, it was my turn. I have nothing but good things to say about my hair and makeup that day. My makeup didn't feel heavy at all, but lasted all night long! Foundation was perfectly matched, eye makeup was blended just right and lips were kissably glossy. My hair that never holds a curl without gobs of product and a zillion bobby pins somehow managed to make it through the night as well. Amazing!! Nicole is prompt at responding to emails/texts, knows how to keep to the schedule (if you have a large bridal party) and is such a great artist - plus she's super sweet and absolutely gorgeous! Never trust a makeup artist who doesn't look good themselves! Now if only I could figure out how to post a picture...

Being a Chinese girl, I have often had frustrations with having my hair and makeup done by other people. Most of the time the foundation is completely off, or the eye makeup is just atrocious. One time I even ended up looking like Beethoven's wife. Well not with Nicole!!! I was so amazed at how perfectly she matched my foundation to my skin. I don't even think I am able to match my own foundation that perfectly. Also, she's a pro at applying eye makeup. Everything looked so blended yet natural. She also does individual eyelashes instead of strip lashes which look and feel so awesome. I love how she gives you options of how you want your makeup. She asked me whether I wanted a light gray color or something else for my eye shadow. Also, I brought in a few photos of what I wanted with my makeup to look like and the results were pretty spot on! In addition, she takes into consideration whether your shoot will be indoor or outdoor. The price is 200 for hair and makeup and it is well worth the investment. If you check out her blog, there are tons of photos of different hairstyles and makeup looks. Definitely book Nicole and put all of your hair and makeup fears to rest. You are in great hands! Thank you SOO much Nicole for making me feel so beautiful on my special day! :)

I found Marzette through yelp. I didn't know much about airbrush make up but wanted something…read morespecial for my wedding. She was a little less expensive then other companies I had looked up and she's mobile - awesome!!! That made it really easy for getting my hair done at the same time, having a glass of champagne, and being in the comfort of my own home. She matched the color of my face to my tan skin perfectly. I never did a trial but I had a couple of pictures to show what I wanted and step by step she would ask if it was ok. I got so many compliments & looked great in pictures. The only bad thing was that I got married on a boat, and it was very hot that day, after a couple hours my color had melted off. I fixed it by just touching up with my own make up. Marzette was very friendly, fast, and reasonable.

If I could give Marzette six stars, I would. She is amazing! She is my new go-to-girl for all…read morethings hair and makeup. Marzette is the perfect makeup artist for anyone. She has a great personality, and is so easy to work with. If you are the maid of honor for a high maintenance bride, Marzette can be your beacon of serene calm in a chaotic bridal primping suite. I recently used Marzette's services for a wedding with five bridesmaids. Marzette handled bridal hair and makeup, mother of the bride hair and makeup, two bridesmaid hair, one bridesmaid makeup, and a tattoo cover up for someone in the wedding party. She was efficient, skilled, and able to accommodate both people who knew exactly what they wanted as well as people who had no idea. My favorite thing about Marzette's work is that it stays. She did my hair and makeup around 10 a.m. and by midnight, I still looked salon fresh. Everyone else she worked on did too! I should add here that I have coarse straight black Asian hair that will not hold curl for more than 30 minutes. The curls that Marzette set in my hair lasted all day and night, and looked like they would have easily lasted through the next day when I looked at them at bedtime. My cousin, who has hair similar to mine, had looser curls set in her hair, and those lasted and lasted as well. For this wedding, Marzette also did a tattoo cover for a large black ink tattoo, a piece that covers about a square foot of skin. Again, her work was amazing! The cover made it through the ceremony, and no one was the wiser. Bless you, Marzette. You are my new hair and makeup superhero!

My makeup also felt light, not heavy or cakey which was great because I have bad eczema and that didn't flare up with her make up.

Her vibe is so fun so the makeup application was a breeze we just chatted the whole time

Highly recommend Jenny if you're looking for someone professional, talented, and genuinely caring. I'll definitely be coming back to her for future events!

I just had my engagement makeup/hair done by Christina (Little White Book Stylists), and I'm SO…read moreglad I was able to find her!! We started the wedding planning process a bit late... (4 months to plan everything) so I was a bit nervous about finding a good hair/makeup artist for myself and the bridal party for our May wedding, since I've heard the good ones are booked anywhere from 6-10 months in advance. After contacting many, many hair and makeup artists from LA and Orange County and getting responses along the lines of "lulz no we're booked", I was panicking. That's when I received my e-mail from Christina :) She informed me that both she and her lead hairstylist (Mitzi) are available for our wedding date. I was beyond excited because her portfolio was one of the ones that stood out to me. I also inquired about having my engagement hair/makeup done with her, and she offered a $25 discount for the engagement session if I ended up booking my wedding with her (which I totally did.) We exchanged several e-mails in the brief 3-4 days before the engagement session, going over my preferences for hair/makeup. Day of: We scheduled the engagement hair/makeup session for a Friday morning. Overestimating traffic delays, I arrived at her studio about 15-20 minutes early, but Christina was already there. Another stylist (for my hair) arrived shortly after and we we were actually able to start earlier than our scheduled time. The hair/makeup session: I don't wear makeup, nor do I curl or style my hair (lazy :D). I honestly had no idea what to expect - I just told Christina that I wanted a very natural look in terms of makeup, but didn't even know what I wanted for myself since I'd never worn makeup before. But somehow, she was able to give me exactly what I wanted without me thinking it was "too much." Even the lip color she mixed for me perfectly amplified my natural lip color. The hairstylist also did a great job, giving me beautiful loose curls that stayed the entire day, despite me running through the park doing crazy stuff for the engagement photos :) Needless to say, I was impressed. I booked her for my wedding on the spot and I can't wait to see how Christina and her stylists transform my bridesmaids and myself for the wedding day :D

Not only was Christina able to replicate the stunning look, but she was able to adjust the look to work with my own facial features. Throughout the trial, Christina was kind, knowledgeable, patient and VERY detailed. She created a comfortable environment and took the time to explain every make up step. **Wedding Day: Christina and her assistants were able to complete 7 bridesmaids, 1 mother of the bride and myself on time for my early 1:30pm ceremony. I had a stressful morning and while working on my make up, Christina was able to sense it. She was constantly trying to cheer me up and make sure I was comfortable. Prior to the wedding I wasn't taking good care of my skin, but yet Christina was able to make my skin look flawless and glowing. While working on my make up Christina noticed my curls were becoming loose, although she wasn't my hired hairstylist, she was so sweet to worry about my hair and volunteered to retouch it. That's the type of artist Christina is kind, intuitive, and genuinely has the client's best interest at heart. Although I'm no longer a bride, I'll definitely be hiring Christina for every future events. I'm dying to have her create her stunning smokey eye look on me again! =)
