Gale is very professional at her job , she gave all the information on how to keep my lashes looking great . She asked question to figure out my desire look, most importantly to me she was in constant communication regarding my appointment and instruction on how to get to her place. Before I walked in she took my temperature and gave a tour on where to find the bathroom . Everything was clean and very nicely decorated. I really liked that she had her bathroom spotless and changed towels to prevent any contamination. She will accommodate you and do her best to best fit your schedule . I truly appreciate all the measures during this pandemic. I was hesitant to do my lashes because of what's happening but gale made me feel safe a beautiful Highly recommend ! read more

I LOVE Gale! She is so professional and the best at what she does. I have been going to her since 2018 and will never go anywhere else. She has been with me for my bridal shower, wedding, all holiday events, and more recently the birth of my twins. she was so accommodating while I was pregnant. Even at 36 weeks and 4 days... a couple of days before my delivery she made me feel so comfortable and safe getting my lashes done. I am always getting complimented on how natural my lashes look and how beautiful they are. Gale has also done my makeup for several events and has always done a stunning job. She's the best! :) read more

What can I say about Gale, but that she is sweet and professional (she definitely does responds to emails within 24 hours). I can't thank her enough for doing make up on me for my Chinese morning wedding tea ceremony giving my that glamorous feeling yet natural daytime look! She was able to enhance my natural features without making me feel too made up! My bridesmaids, mothers had all their make up done, and as the bride I adored it. Especially considering my mother never wears make-up except some lip stick and powder on special events. Again with any professional services I did a make-up trial run with her ahead of time to make sure I had a good feeling about any make-up aritist. Thank you Gale for making me look and feel so beautiful on my special big day! read more

I cannot praise Gale enough for the thoughtful, expert attention that she has given to my eyes. The eyelash extensions she does for me are a miracle! I never thought I could have lashes like this! I would not trust anyone but Gale to do this sensitive work. She has many years of experience, her studio is immaculate and comfortable. She is patient with my questions, has excellent taste, and honestly discusses with me the pros and cons of what I am requesting. I trust her absolutely, and recommend her work enthusiastically!! read more

Sooo so happy with my eyelashes! Gale was extremely knowledgeable about the product and so helpful when it came to deciding what type of extensions I wanted. My appointment also flew by because she is such a sweetheart and I could not stop talking to her. Seriously a gem! Would recommend to everyone. read more

Gale is an absolute sweetheart. I was looking to get my eyelashes done for quite some time and it being my first time, I wanted to find someone who received good reviews and the provided excellent service. Gale runs her business out of her home and she made me feel very comfortable, explaining all the various steps in the process, her work space, the look I was going for, care of the eyelashes, her background/training etc. She made me feel so at ease and I never felt she rushed through the process. At the end of the session, I felt so beautiful! And very happy! I've had my lashes for a week and they still look as beautiful as the first day (Of course, I have been very careful and gentle with them!) I look forward to meeting with Gale again in a few weeks to get my eyelash fills. read more

I have always wanted to get my lashes done and finally decided to do it.. only question was, who do I go to? A few of my friends recommended the typical big company Lash places but I've always been one to go for a more personal experience. Choosing Gale for my lashes was the best decision I could have made!! She is truly an artist and she's the most wonderful, kind woman. I figured I would spend the time napping or in silence.. we ended up chatting for the full 2 hours! She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and answers any questions you have. I LOVE my lashes and will definitely be going back! Thank you Gale!! read more

This review is long overdue Gale did my makeup for my wedding and made me look absolutely amazing! I have never had so many people tell me how beautiful I look. I sent her some ideas but told her to do what she thinks would be best (shes the make up artist not me!) This girls knows whatsup my make up turned out better than I could even imagine and she is great conversation as well! We had a good time talking and everything was done in a timely matter.

Make Up Artistry By Gale - Makeup Artists Near Me

Gale did my wedding makeup, and without sounding snooty, I have to say I looked fabulous! She made me look like myself, only with the volume turned up. I did not do a trial run as my schedule did not permit so I was a tad leery...there was no reason to be! She nailed it! She brings everything so all you need to do is sit back and get pretty! She was very calming and is a makeup expert Gale was super easy to talk to and was open to suggestions and offered different options. She asked lots of questions (what shade of shadow do you wear? do you use blush?, did you eat something?) which I really appreciated and she made sure I was comfortable the entire session. My makeup stayed on throughout the ceremony, during dinner and even after our reception in a sweaty bar! I saw some pics from friends and I still looked properly "done up" hours/tears/beers later. I could not have had a better experience with her! Please reach out to Gale. She will make your special day so memorable and you will look great! read more

Gale is amazing!! Exactly 2 hours like she said, and I love my natural looking lashes. She is kind, very easy to talk to, and really cares about the experience you have/achieving the outcome you want. My experience was very personable and easy going... and I look so feminine now without makeup! read more

Gale is Amazing! I used Gale for my wedding day for me and my girls because she came highly recommended by a coworker who used her for her own wedding. I trialed about 4 different make up artists before I got to Gale. She really listens to what you usually do day to day and she always says the colors you use are "personal." So true! I'm not afraid of make-up, and I used to always try to get my makeup done at counters when I was in high school or for weddings. Never liked it. I had to fix it or take it off completely right before the event. There are make up artists out there who do not listen to what you typically do, colors you dont like, or just do the "regular" wedding make up thinking it will look good on you too. That's what sets Gale apart. Anyone can do good make-up (She can!), but she makes sure the client is happy too. In the lead-up to the wedding, I also got eyelashes applied for other wedding related events (i.e. bachelorette, bridal shower). She is the sweetest too! She goes above and beyond to make sure you are comfortable the entire time of the application. More importantly, her rates are competitive! I used to go somewhere else, and I get the same quality for a much reasonable cost. I love them so much I may continue to do them more regularly now! Especially that it is more reasonable. Use Gale for either eyelashes or wedding make up. You will not be disappointed! read more

I had my eyelash extensions refilled by Gale after getting my initial set from someone else. I was not quite happy with my initial set and Gale really spent the time to educate me on the eyelash extensions and listened to what I liked and didn't like. She took her time and did such a great job on the refills that they look so much more natural than before. Her prices are reasonable and she was really nice to talk to. She is definitely my go to person now for eyelash extensions! read more

Gale did an amazing job making sure my lashes were personalized, and listened to exactly what I wanted! She explained every step of the process while doing them, and kept checking in to make sure I was always comfortable. She gave great care instructions and I am SO happy with my lashes! Her studio is very clean, neat, and relaxing and I'll definitely be going back to get my fill in a couple weeks! Overall, if you're thinking about getting lashes, go to Gale and you'll be so happy you did!!! read more

Make Up Artistry By Gale - Wedding makeup by Gale - Makeup Artists Near Me

Gale is amazing! She is super friendly and she is all about your comfort and satisfaction. Gale did my eyelash extensions for my engagement shoot and they turned out AMAZING! They looked "natural" whereas my eyelashes themselves didn't stand out, but more of accented my beauty. I have received so many positive comments of how wonderful they look! I highly recommend Gale! I will definitely continue to go to her for my fills, especially for my wedding day! read more

I have had the pleasure of being one of Gale's clients for over 8 months for eyelash extensions with no interruption of service. I knew from our first phone consult that she knew what she was doing. She filled me with information that is imperative to someone looking to have them done. She took the time to explain it to me.. gave me tips on what one needs to look for within the service etc. I NEEDED lashes within 24 hours and she went out of her way to get me in! She works out of her own private studio in her home and it is like going to your best friend's eyelash extension spa room. I told her that I didn't want to share her by giving a yelp review (that's how amazing she is) but, I owe it to her. She is so accommodating when it comes to scheduling and her work is amazing!! I don't know about you, but skill, professionalism and personality?...check all my boxes. This chick is a homerun. read more

Honestly ladies, are you seriously considering NOT having your lashes done by GALE? If you have had them you know they are a game changer in life. no mascara, no time spent on the issues that come with it....AND during this Pandemic its time to schedule and pay for all of your normally wonderful services and service providers who need our support NOW more then ever. Gale's low key and constant effort to meet her every client's needs are second to none! Honestly she is is constantly checking in to see if you are on schedule, need a change, and in this world of constant change, it's so comforting. Also when you get to her location in Poway, she creates the perfect calm and soothing place to just lay down in a spa-like environment and let her do her magic. Spa music, no problem, you like a little more upbeat tempo, shes got it! AND who doesnt want to just relax and lay back for an hour??? Who knew it could be so amazing and stress free...I honestly felt is was worth the money just to have this relaxing time....but to sit up and see your LASHES look so incredible......a splendid day indeed! read more

I hired Gale to do my wedding makeup and my entire bridal party and she was terrific. I hired her initially because she stayed on the phone with me for almost an hour patiently answering all my questions and give me the details I wanted to know. She was able to negotiate with me to meet my pricepoint and was extremely reasonable for the work she did. Gale was also super helpful in the details of planning the makeup and hair timeline and on the day of the wedding and was so attentive to the individual style of each of my girls. Everyone was so happy and looked incredible. She has a wonderful personality and so much fun to work with. I highly recommend her for any of your makeup needs for a wedding or any other special event. read more

If you're looking for the best looking, longest lasting eyelash extensions GO TO GALE! I've been doing my eyelashes for years and have gone to several different places in Arizona, OC and SD and Gale is by far the best. She takes the time to find out what look you are wanting (dramatic, natural) and makes it happen. Her fills are long lasting (I go every three weeks with no problems). And Gale's easy going personality makes the appointment feel more like a visit with a friend. read more

I went to gale for my eyelash fills and it turned out awesome. She is very sweet and she lets you know what she's doing every step of the way. It's $50 for a fill which is not bad at all. She works at her own residence and has a sweet dog, for all of you dog lovers. She took about an hour for my fills but that's because she did every single eyelash unlike other places who cheat you. read more

Gale is awesome!!! She started doing my lashes last year...and I'm hooked. I see her every 3 weeks cant miss it. Super friendly.

Gale was very sweet and willing to squeeze me in for my event. I unfortunately woke up sick and was unable to go to the appt, but the fact that she made time just for me is definitely a sign of excellent customer service. Thank you Gale, I look forward to coming back once I feel better! read more

Gale is the best! I had her do my wedding make up and my eye lash extensions. I am obsessed with my extensions and get compliments all the time. I love not having to wear mascara or worry about my make running. read more

Gale is awesome! Seriously she saved my life for my engagement photography session. I had booked another lady and she cancelled on me at the last minute, I came to Gale practically the day before the photo shoot and she was able to fit me in her schedule! I was so happy with the results and blown away by her flexibility that I booked her for my whole wedding party, which also turned out great! My maid of honor (she doesn't normally wear a lot of makeup) had decided not to get her makeup done, but Gale gave her some fake eyelashes anyway which I though was so generous! She welcomed us into her house and had cold bottles of water and music playing, it was wonderfully relaxing for a very stressed out bride...such a blessing! She is highly recommended! read more

I have been going to Gail for approximately six months. I decided to try eyelash extensions after a friend of mine had them done for her wedding and they looked amazing on her. The idea of never using mascara again was just too appealing to not try Gail's eyelash extensions. Gail is fabulous!!! The eyelashes look natural because she is so attentive to detail. She is flexible in her scheduling and makes sure to get you booked in so your lashes always look great. She is the best and her dog is hilarious! read more

Gale was the make up artist for all the ladies in my daughter's wedding party this past weekend, including the flower girl and both moms. Gale was AMAZING!! Organized, efficient without being rushed, fun, sensitive, caring, and a consummate professional! All of us walked away looking and feeling beautiful!!! And we stayed that way throughout the entire day!! Thank you SO much Gale!!! read more

Wow! Can't believe that it's been so long since my first review! Gale is the best, so I went back to her for my younger son's wedding- Mother of the Groom makeup! Once again, I was thrilled with how calm she made me feel (I was a nervous wreck before the wedding!) and how beautiful I felt after Gale transformed me into a Happy and pretty Mother of the Groom. She is such a talented makeup artist!! Thank you, Gale! Once again :-) read more

Gale was absolutely amazing to work with! This was my first time getting extensions done and she took so much time to explain everything to me. She really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and she was so easy to chat with! The time spent was like talking with a friend over coffee. She has a steady head, is very knowledgeable about the industry and offers honest, heartfelt advice. I feel really lucky to have met her! Everyone loves my lashes too! read more

Just got my eye lashes done by Gale last week, LOVE them!!! I have worked with her for years with her amazing wedding makeup. She has asked me so many times to come give the eye lashes a try, I always resisted, just didn't think I had time and thought it was going to be too glammy for me. Much to my surprise it was so easy and calming and love that I don't have to wear mascara anymore and I have had so many compliments!! I can't believe I waited that long! Thanks Gale you are my Rock Star! Warmly, Dena Nolen-Malasek read more

Gale did my makeup for my 2011 wedding. Didn't realize she had a Yelp page until now! I went to her house for a trial and we experimented with a few things. She knew exactly what looked good on me. I don't wear a lot of makeup and she respected that - didn't try to convince me to do a lot of heavy makeup. She just took my regular look and kicked it up a few notches.....the false eyelashes really finished the look. Wedding day was flawless. She also did my mom's makeup. My mom was nearly 60 at the time and the makeup was absolutely stunning.....I hate to say it, but I think she may have gotten more compliments than me that day. Even today my mom regularly talks about the makeup application Gale did for her......keeps saying "I wish I knew what she did! I wish I could learn to apply it like she did!" I have to say, seeing my mom radiating and feeling that good about herself - all from a makeup application - really made my wedding day :) read more

Gale did my makeup for my April 10, 2010 wedding and she made me feel so beautiful! I did 2 trials with other artists before someone referred me to Gale. Thank goodness because it was one month before my wedding and I was starting to panic. She was so easy going at the trial and listened to me and gave me a very natural look. On my wedding day my girl friends, who know I don't wear much makeup, were so impressed with the look. And when the reception ended, 8 hours after my makeup was applied, it still looked and felt beautiful. My mom, sister, and niece also had their makeup done and they loved Gale's work too. Besides her amazing talents Gale's personality is so calming, she responds quickly when you call her, and she listens to you. I learned the hard way (with the first 2 trials) that you get what you pay for so don't scrimp when it comes to your wedding day makeup. read more

Gale is amazing! She never disappoints. She did my best friend's wedding, my wedding and my future daughter-in-law's wedding on short notice after the makeup artist bailed at the last minute! She is a pro and just a lovely person. read more

I completely agree with all the other reviews. Gale is amazing!! I got my wedding makeup done by her as well as fake eyelashes (they're addicting)! Gale is friendly, professional, and very talented. She's very quick too. I was so worried about my makeup before the trial, but I loved how Gale did it, and she has the perfect personality to deal with stressed out brides (or anyone for that matter). On the day of my wedding, I was so distracted I could barely sit still for the makeup, but she did such an amazing job. I'm looking forward to my anniversary next year so I have an excuse to get eyelashes again!! read more

Gale is amazing! I've gone to a couple of eyelash extension places, and I have to say that Gale has been the best. I have loved my eyelashes every single time :) They look natural and have saved me a lot of time in the morning (and at night!). I no longer have to wear eyeliner, yank my eyelashes out curling them or apply any mascara. Anyway, as far as lash extensions go, Gale is an expert and one of the best in the field. I would highly recommend her. read more

Gale is amazing and was very professional to work with for my wedding day. She and an assistant were efficiently able to do the makeup for me and my entire bridal party (which included about 13 women) in less than 4 hours on June 24, 2016. Gale has a very calming presence and is a delight to be around on your wedding day. As the bride, there's no doubt that I looked the most stunning I've ever looked, but still natural, which was important to me. I also love that she uses airbrush because your make-up stays on and looks good all night. My bridesmaids and moms each told me that they got tons of compliments on their make-up and eyelashes. I highly recommend Make-Up Artistry by Gale services for any occasion! Thank you, Gale!! read more

Gale is nothing short of a lash extension extraordinaire. An artiste of the highest order. She provides, hands down, the best eyelash extensions in Southern California. As I've gotten older, my eyes don't pop the way they once did. I find myself applying more mascara than usual and end up with raccoon eyes by the end of the day. My search for the perfect mascara that would deliver the desired results of yesterday was futile, and applying mascara is time consuming and I sometimes wanted the effect of mascara but still wanted to look 'natural'. Gale to the rescue. I came in for my visit with a clean-clean face, NO makeup, moisturizer, sunscreen, etc., and Gale went to work. Her studio is so beautiful and calming; it made me feel like I was at a meditation retreat while being beautified. We talked the whole time and I couldn't believe how quickly it passed. After she was finished she handed me a mirror, and I couldn't believe my lash-enhanced eyes. I looked younger, I looked beautiful, I looked 'done', and had ZERO makeup on. Just my gorgeous, fluttery, long, dark, perfectly curled, NATURAL looking lashes. My eyes POPPED. I LOVED my visit with Gale; besides being gifted at what she does she is a genuine and kind human being. I wake up in the morning looking refreshed and rested and youthful, all because of my lashes. My friends can't get over what a difference it has made and I can't believe how lucky I am to have found her!!! read more
