Booked them for my best friends wedding…read more At our trial run there were 3 people who did the hair & makeup. Makeup was beautiful but the hair could've been better. The side was beautifully done with a braid that wrapped back into a bun, but the bun itself in the back just looked like a rats nest. The bride emailed them after the trial with the alterations she wanted & they were very receptive. Day of the wedding: there were 2 people doing hair & makeup vs 3. This made everything take longer & we pretty much ran out of time. They started my hair (the longest & thickest) of the group with about 40 minutes before we had to be out to take photos. It was really rushed & my hair showed that. The front they did nothing to, they just put texture spray in & pulled it back into some braids - these looked good but the front of my hair (that everyone is going to see the most & be in photos forever) was pretty bland. They "curled" a small portion of my hair that was left down; which I re curled myself less than an hour later because it was a frizzy mess of no curls. I reblended in my eyeshadow which had a harsh unblended section on each eyelid; had to request that they fix my eyebrows which were filled in unevenly & I had to tone down the highlighter on the Mother of the Bride's face because it was pretty blinding. & added blush because she thought she looked washed out. The brides back of her hair looked a MILLION times better than it did in the trial. But they didn't do the ONE thing we had loved from the trial; the really thick braid that went from the front back into the bun. The brides hair was also falling out in a manner of an hour or so after getting done... it's a really good thing we had brought our own bobby pins & hairspray because we put in a ton more post hair. All in all, I think it came down to the fact that there were only 2 people instead of 3. We had a small bridal party so if there were this many problems with only 4 hair & 5 makeups to do, I can't imagine with a larger party. Overall the job was good, but it definitely could've been improved.

If you're searching for a hair and makeup company for your wedding I would STRONGLY encourage you to do research and book elsewhere. I want to start by saying the entire experience with them was mediocre. I was originally supposed to get married in October of 2020 but was forced to postpone due to the pandemic and was charged $250 to change the wedding date which was a bummer but I guess I understood the circumstances. I had to change the location of "getting ready" morning of wedding which I confirmed with them no less than 3 times and when they sent over the last few email correspondences leading up to wedding they failed to spell my name correctly and continued to have the wrong location. Just thought they would be more on top of it. The morning of my wedding I was informed that they were sending a replacement hair gal who showed up about 30 minutes late. I had 5 girls in my wedding who were getting their hair done (including the MOB and MOG). Each on of them ended up fixing their hair and re doing everything after our hair girl left. I was so embarrassed and bummed that after all the money that was spent NO ONE LIKED THEIR HAIR. So disappointing. I do want to emphasis the girl I had for my wedding day trail makeup and hair was Kala and she was the BEST!! She really was so great and did such a great job on my hair and makeup. I understand it's been a difficult year for businesses but I'm so disappointed with the services based off how much money I paid! It was not cheap.... Again I'd strongly encourage anyone considering NW Hair + Makeup to book with another company. I really wish I had had a different hair+makeup experience for my wedding.

I had already paid my $600.00 deposit as well. 3 months before my wedding I received an email saying Whitney will be canceling my reservation for my wedding because her friend had picked the same date for their wedding. That makes me feel like my wedding isn't as important. I felt very disrespected due to the short notice. I am extremely disappointed by the unprofessionalism. I was excited to work with Whitney and her team, but now I am pretty relieved after the customer service I just received.

On the day of the trial I thought she would come to me, but that was not the case (oh no!). I was able to make it to her studio in time to still have my appointment which did not feel rushed at all despite me being late. She is knowledgeable about skin health and gave me great tips on making my skin look as healthy as possible for the wedding day. I do not usually wear makeup and loved the finished product. My husband on the other hand looked at me like I was a total stranger! The morning of the ceremony (which was VERY early in the morning) I asked her to lighten up the look so my husband could recognize me. She did a great job adjusting to my request. I also wanted to make a little change to the hairstyle we had tried, which Marina was able to do perfectly. My husband wanted to have a stress free time getting ready, so she did his hair too! I also had Marina wax the winter coat I was wearing on my legs. Let me tell you, my legs had never been that smooth! Marina is a fantastic esthetician, definitely consider her services for your events or beauty needs!

Oh and she's the sweetest! We had so much fun with her and all the girls getting ready together in the morning.

This is a long overdue review. Meaganne did my hair/makeup for both my engagement shots and my…read morewedding a few years back. She did an amazing job. I loved her philosophy - which is to make her clients look like the best version of themselves, as opposed to caking on makeup in a way a bride would probably regret - and thought she executed it perfectly. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and thought my makeup looked 100 in the wedding photos. Equally important, she made me feel totally at ease both times we worked together, was very open to feedback, and was just plain fun to hang out with. For brides who aren't getting married in SF proper, Meaganne is willing to travel, which was super helpful. My wedding was in Los Gatos, and Meaganne didn't bat an eye making the hour+ drive, and navigating her way to our off-the-beaten-path venue. I think she may charge a small fee if she needs to travel more than a certain number of miles, but it was nominal and on par with what other makeup artists charge. I highly recommend Meaganne for your hair and makeup needs!

I had trial sessions with a couple other professionals in San Francisco, but once I met with Meaganne, I was hooked. I'm pretty picky about makeup - I don't wear foundation and HATE the feeling of having something caked on. But Meaganne knew exactly what to do to make me feel natural, confident, and ready to get married! She makes you feel and look like yourself and not some made up version of a typical bride. When I found out she also did hair, I gave her a try and loved every style she tested on me...it was honestly hard to choose! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and have since given her name to several people. Her prices are incredibly reasonable (far cheaper than the other trials I had), especially considering her level of talent. Not only is Meaganne incredibly talented, but she's a wonderful person to work with. She's kind, patient, and just an all around genuine, amazing person. You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, so I feel it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Meaganne.

In all honesty I felt very overwhelmed by the process. Fortunately, I've found Abibat to be incredibly versatile, and capable of walking me through the range of options for my hair. She has done protective hairstyling for me, and guided me through the big chop off of processed hair. She walked me through which hair products will nourish my natural tresses, and taught me how to use them. For the first time in my adult life, I feel comfortable - beautiful even - rocking my natural hair, and I credit that in large part to Abibat. She is genuinely a beautiful soul who consistently goes above and beyond, and my transition to natural hair was significantly less daunting because of her. It is evident that she takes great pride in her work, and wants to support her clients in feeling beautiful inside and out. Each time I come back to her with a different idea for what I want my hair to be and - always leading from a place of yes, she consistently gives thoughtful consideration to how to bring my vision to fruition; and her work is always impeccable. I have had my hair done by 5 stylists, and have yet to find someone with half her talent. Since meeting Abibat, I've moved across state lines, and fly back to have my hair done by her because the quality of work is unparalleled. I recommend Abibat very highly. She will work incredibly hard to make your vision a reality.
