I LOVE Stacey -- not only did she talk to me about Harry Potter and cats, but she also made me feel…read morebeautiful on my wedding day. Double-win. I had never had my hair or my make-up professionally done in the past, so I had no idea what the experience would be. I'm sure I was a bundle of nerves when Stacey showed up for my trial (which I highly recommend doing!), but there was honestly nothing that I should have worried about. Stacey is an expert at highlighting your natural beauty; I never felt like any part of me was being hidden under heavy makeup. I was authentically me at my wedding, and that was so wonderful. Stacey also worked with me to make sure I was pleased with my makeup and hair and was happy to make any small tweaks to my look. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and her team arrived early and worked efficiently to make sure myself and my bridal party were done on-time for pictures before the ceremony. We had such a fun time with Stacey and her team, listening to music and chatting. It definitely helped me settle down before seeing my husband for the first time! As an extra bonus, my hair and make-up lasted throughout the warm June day and through all the dancing I did at the reception! I am so grateful to Stacey for helping me feel confident and beautiful on this important day.

I have been an event director and wedding planner for 15 years. When my time came this year to wed,…read moreI was particular in what I wanted and needed to work with a professional person that I may rely on explicitly. Stacey... is an absolute unicorn. She is one of the most professional vendors I have worked with in SD. She is responsive, fair, well-priced, kind, humble, easy-going and most importantly... excellent in her craft. I asked Stacey for a sun-kissed, California girl look and she made all my bridesmaids and me look like we just stepped off the beach. What makes Stacey unlike most make-up artists (...and so, so special) is her ability to create any look you desire. Most artists have one or two makeup looks they have mastered and stick to them (hence so many pictures of brides look the same). Stacey actually listens, takes notes, photos and guides you with her knowledge on how to get the look you want. She is also so funny and cool, you literally want to add her to the bridal party on your wedding day. Thank you Stacey for being so awesome.

We hired Brenda to do an updo for my daughter's prom. Not only did she bring my daughter's vision of an updo to life but she also provided suggestions based on how thick my daughter's hair is and her red dye. We appreciated her suggestions. The entire process was seamless. I found her online and within minutes we had an appointment set. Note: she does not accept walk-ins, this is an appointment-only type of service. The location itself is a quaint little spot with different businesses all in one building and it has a nice waiting area. Parking is limited but there is plenty of street parking since the building sits on a corner. I highly recommend Brenda for your updos. Her price was fair ($115) for the updo that my daughter was requesting. I believe she also offers makeup, lashes and waxing services (which I hope to check out in the near future).

Lulu uses the best quality (and best smelling) products on the market. I usually go in for a trim and a smoothing mask. During my appointments, Lulu is always sure to consult me before starting any process. She explains what she is doing and why. I love that! At my last appointment, Lulu walked me through the Keratin treatment she used and explained its benefits. My hair has never been so polished and easy to style. I can still wear it curly, but going straight has been made so much simpler... drying time/styling time has been cut in half! So HAPPY!!! Bridal Hair & Makeup: I had the pleasure of working with Lulu on my wedding day. She did an outstanding job! I wanted a vintage look. Lulu accomplished just that. My skin looked flawless, and although it was much more makeup than I ever wear on a day to day basis, it did not feel heavy or cakey. In addition to doing my hair and makeup, she did my bridal party's hair and makeup (Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride, two bridesmaids, and a flower girl). Everyone looked stunning and we were on time! Just writing this makes me want to look for any excuse to get dolled up, so I can book an appointment with Lulu ASAP!

My personal experience…read more Loli and this class are a SCAM. she prays on girls who want to advance in the makeup industry. I took her class, and a year later I still didn't have a "certificate" - she did email me one that was the most basic thing ever, I could have made it myself. The only reason she actually sent me a paper copy "and by paper I mean she printed out the one she emailed me" was because I filed a claim with the BBB. and even then she had the audacity to write the wrong year on my cert, and spell my name wrong. She also claims this is a "MAC trained" class. . . . except when I contacted MAC they said they are in no way affiliated with Her or her class and contacted her to let her know she could no longer claim to be affiliated. Save your money and go somewhere else. I am not the only one that she has done this to. I know she will probably contact Yelp to take this down but Better believe I will keep posting my truth.

I utilized Loli (the owner of Makeup City) for my makeup for both my engagement pictures and my…read morewedding day/pictures. One word to describe Loli is AMAZING! Her talent, personality and spirit are amazing! I found her through the Thumbtack website and quickly looked into reviews. I saw nothing but positive remarks about her work and just her in general. After a few email conversations, I decided to utilize her as my makeup artist for my engagement pictures which I used as just a trial for our wedding in June. First of all, she traveled to me and that added service itself ranked her above others that I looked into. When I first met her, she exuded confidence and professionalism. As she shared her story while she applied my makeup I discovered how beautiful of a person she really is, but inside and out! I also wanted to have her do the makeup for my mom and my maid of honor for the day of our wedding. My mom is a cosmetology instructor and definitely has high expectations for anyone working on her! Loli far exceeded my mom's expectations and helped bring out more of her natural beauty. One compliment I kept hearing from numerous individuals was how all of us looked amazing and how flawless our makeup was! One woman said "I know you're probably wearing more makeup now that you have had combined for a year but she made it look like she barely put any on you!!!" I especially loved how she was able to just fit right in with my family and was joking and laughing with my mom, sister and bridesmaids! She and her talent were welcomed additions to our group! As with everything, nothing in life is perfect and there were a few hiccups. I wanted to utilize airbrushing for me and the others getting their makeup done for our wedding but unfortunately Loli's airbrush machine broke before the wedding. But she promised that her method would have our faces looking just as flawless and she lived up to that promise! The only other thing I would say is that I hoped to have some type of touch up kit available since it was definitely a long day and I wanted to make sure that my makeup was looking fresh throughout the day. Loli mentioned that this would be provided but I'm assuming that due to the busy day it was just forgotten. Overall I would give Loli/Makeup City more stars if I could! Loli is a beautiful and talented person who brings out the beauty of her clients and I look forward to finding another opportunity to utilize her amazing skill!
