    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.

Jessie works quickly while still being incredibly detail-oriented, and she has an amazing ability to understand exactly how you want your makeup to look and then bring that vision to life flawlessly. Also my hair and make up lasted all day plus survived misty rain and a heavy veil! Her team was also exceptional and highly skilled, and everyone helped create such a calm and enjoyable getting-ready experience on the wedding day. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of in her hands. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a talented, intuitive, and truly wonderful makeup artist!

I was preparing to tell her how I wanted to change the trial makeup to something more pink, but that morning, Jessie brought up the idea of changes to me first! She suggested a pink look would look better and I was impressed because I felt the same way. I appreciated that Jessie spoke out about what she thought would look better on me; I felt like she had my back! In total, we had 11 people who needed both hair and makeup. I was worried that it would take a very long time, but Jessie and her two assistants run like a well-oiled machine! Started at 8am, done by 1230pm! All my girls looked beautiful!! The makeup lasted all day! Jessie even gave me a little pouch of materials for touch up, but I didn't need it! My hair also stayed in place all night long! 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!

I will not be going back and will not put my picture on this review because I am embarrassed on how bad it was. I was contacted via text message and told the services were rushed. I informed them I would not have paid for the service but had no choice and paid. I was asked to remove this review in order to get 50% money back. I said no this is important that other people see these reviews when booking appointments on their special day. The information listed below by the owner is incorrect. I was not informed I would only get 30 minutes for a makeup that sounds incorrect. Also to correct dark circles you need to add corrector. No high end makeup was offered at all. Every product used was cheap. The owner refuses to accept this review. Also my friend who went after me had the same experience and had to re do her makeup prior to the event. Save yourself from ruining ur special day and shop wisely when getting your makeup done on your special day. It really can ruin it for you. I was told that if I remove the posting I could get 50% back. If not she would not work with me as she did her job. I would not call this a professional makeup appointment.

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!

My wedding was in SF and we were staying at the Marriott. Everything with her felt seamless.

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!

The two I got in Long Beach were honestly the worst haircuts of my life and I had to take scissors into my own hands to fix them. Seriously, with all of the salons in the world, why is it so hard to get a good haircut? But no longer. I have found Gwyneth!!! My hair is happy once again!! All drama aside, it's been years since I've had a good haircut (see my reviews). The biggest problem is that no one listened to what I wanted in a cut. Instead, they gave me the cookie cutter haircut they wanted to give me. Not Gwyneth. She listened and did exactly what I asked. Look at the picture. My hair is gorgeous! If you're frustrated by hair stylists that only know how to give whatever cut is trending, forget about the others and head over to Gwyneth.

I was really happy with my looks throughout the event and Kary was attentive throughout, really glad to have hired her. During the makeup trial she listened to my needs and took times to try multiple styles and looks until I'm comfortable with my choices. Her makeup style is very beautiful and natural at the same time, she has a great understand of Asian features. I felt very beautiful. During the event she stayed around for almost the whole ceremony to reception, helping with touch ups and outfit/look changes. She was also great with my mother and bridesmaids, patient and giving styling support when my mom had questions. However I think there's room for improvement in her team. The second HMU she brought with her to help with the other half of my bridesmaids was not as good. My bridesmaid mentioned that her side bun constantly fell out and after asking to be fixed multiple time they just ended up fixing it themselves. The second HMU also didn't seem to have the same joy as Kary and wasn't too friendly. Outside of that, Kary's husband Eugene does all her booking, scheduling and communications. Have some patience for him to get back to you and double check the booking times as I experienced some mixed up during the trial booking. Overall I would definitely recommend working with Kary for your makeup, you will not regret it, she really took good care of me.
