I loved being able to chat with Manda the whole time. She always asked if I liked something or if I wanted to change it. I met her dog and she was the cutest. She let me stay so I can wait for my ride after we finished. read more

Just wanted to quickly update my review, I truly wish I could give Manda a 100 stars because she really saved my entire wedding day just 2 weeks out. My contracted hair and makeup artist decided to bail last minute 2 weeks out from my wedding date and the only person I trusted to do my makeup was Manda! She responded promptly and I owe her so much for saving the day. My mom and aunt also got their makeup done by her and they still talk about how great their makeup looked! I would also like to add that my wedding was completely outdoors and was over 100 degrees that day! My makeup stayed in place all day and night through all the sweat and happy tears! Manda was also extremely patient working with my hair stylists as well! She's very friendly, easy to talk to, and the only person I trust to ever do my makeup. Thank you so much Manda!! read more

First off, Manda was quick to respond and very friendly over text. She was the same way in-person! Secondly, I felt so comfortable with her. She was so much fun to talk to, incredibly sweet, and she's funny! And last but certainly not last - her work was exactly what I wanted. I'm not the type of person that wears makeup on a daily basis and she gave me exactly what I wanted. I felt beautiful and my hair was simple, but in the formal updo that I wanted. She worked efficiently and was very clean. I can't wait to book with her next time I'm in the Bay for another event. Thank you for everything read more

As someone who rarely wears makeup, I'm always a bit skeptical when I get my makeup done. I have always preferred a more natural look, and more often than not, the end result tends to be too dark. However, I am absolutely thrilled to say that Manda exceeded all my expectations with her exceptional skills! From the very beginning, she was responsive and friendly. Not only was she a true professional, but she was also incredibly easy to get along with which made my time at her studio fly by so fast. She was sweet and made me feel very beautiful. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the incredible job she did in preparing me for my engagement photo session. If you are in need of a makeup artist for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Manda without hesitation. She is truly the one to trust! read more

I had the pleasure of having Manda do my hair and makeup for an event I had. From the moment I contacted her she was very warm, friendly, and accommodating. I had shown her photos of hair styles and makeup looks I liked and she recreated that for me. She made me feel comfortable with offering something to drink and conversations throughout my appointment. It was like hanging out with a friend. She always made sure I was ok with what she was doing and asked my opinion on what I preferred such as eyebrow shape and lashes. I am a busy mom of 3 so you can imagine how tired I must have looked when I first came in, but Manda made me feel like a movie star! She is a true artist! Once I arrived at my event, I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I cannot recommend her enough and will be booking with her for all my future events! read more

I am so happy that Amanda did my hair and makeup for my wedding. After canceling our wedding multiple times due to Covid, we finally "settled" on a SF city hall wedding. With this, I had to find someone who could do my hair and makeup on a weekday- early. After calling heaps of places, I decided to proceed with Amanda. I guess it was due to her warm demeanor and quick response time. She was very easy to work with and did a written contract which I really appreciated. Coming up to the date, I sent her photos of what I liked, and confirmed dates- she was always really good about responding. On the day of, she met me at 7am and did my hair and makeup. I was definetly really nervous and she put me at ease. She is so easy to talk to, has the cutest dog, and basically a lovely person. She did a great job on my hair and makeup. I highly recommend her!! Oh and did I tell you, she finished an hour early!!!! This was soo helpful. read more

Manda did a great job on my bridal hair and makeup! Although I very rarely wear makeup and little familiarity with it, she crafted a look that was really special, but also soft and natural. I felt confident all night and never even had to touch anything up. She was great to talk to and also worked quickly to accommodate last minute time constraints on my end. Highly recommend! read more

I hired Manda to do my bridal make up and make up for my bridesmaids and she was amazing! She did an awesome job with the natural look we were going for and was flexible with a last minute addition to the planned schedule. It ended up unexpectedly raining during the ceremony but my make up and lashes still looked perfect all night. As many others have noted, not only are Manda's make up skills excellent, but she is also a lovely person. Manda is so kind and patient and brings such positive energy to the experience -- I feel lucky to have worked with her and can't recommend her enough! read more

Professional, attention to detail, brushes, all tools, and makeup are sanitized properly, amazing customer service, personable attention, a real artist, simply the one and the very best, highly recommended! Amanda is all the above and more, there are no words but facts to describe how amazing she is and the quality of job she provides every time. Even before I met her, through all my messages exchanges with her, she was so professional and so nice! You won't leave her studio with any concern nor any stress that the makeup will be gone because she uses high-quality products and the technique that she uses for hair and makeup are top-notch and last very long. During the wedding that I attended, I danced the whole time and the makeup was still in place as well as my beautiful hairdo. I also want to mention that in every single picture I took, I really look amazing. I was complimented and I felt really happy about the decision I took by trusting Amanda on this special occasion. Thank you, Amanda, for all your great work, your PROFESSIONALISM, for being such a nice person, providing outstanding customer service, for making us feel very special, pretty and for all the excellent hard work and ETHIC that is difficult to find. A REAL GEM in Concord and everywhere! read more

Manda was amazing. She is so sweet, kind, and makes you feel at ease on your special day. I found Manda through Yelp for my civil ceremony wedding make up. My hair and make up lasted all day for my wedding in San Francisco as windy as it was right after the heavy storms we had a few weeks ago. I felt like she really brings out the natural glowy beauty for the bride. read more

I have found my spot!!! I am going to a friend's wedding and realized my makeup skill(have not done for over 10 years) and supplies are not going to work. It was a last minute request(like I need it now) through Yelp and Manda got back to me when my message was sent to the business owners. I prepared to not receiving response or no availability from business owners, but it was like 5 mins confirmed. I told Manda I want to have a light and nature look makeup with clean hairstyle. I love when she turned off the makeup lights and use direct nature lights for my makeup. At that time, I knew she is the one. Everything came out as just I expected. Sometime it's hard to find a spot that understands your needs and concerns, but Amanda gets everything covered. Definitely will be with her for my future makeup for crucial events! Plus: I love her her dog Bulu. More pictures to come read more

Manda asked for inspiration photos and did a great job with my daughter. I absolutely recommend her and would book her again for my daughter or myself! read more

Amanda did my hair and makeup for my intimate civil wedding this past Saturday, and it turned out beautifully! I was seriously impressed with how it looked in all the photos. It was very windy in SF that day, so everyone's hair including my poor curls took a beating (which worked out in the end because it gave me loose, romantic waves that looked just as pretty). I honestly felt so beautiful all thanks to Amanda's work. I gave her an idea of what kind of style I was going for, and she executed it wonderfully. Not only that, she was such a pleasure to talk to the whole time I was in her studio that it felt like I had walked away with a new friend. She is very personable and is overall just a bubbly, lovely person. When I left, she even gave me a few makeup samples to try and had recommendations for any skincare concerns I had! I highly recommend her and would consider her again if I ever need another hair and makeup session :) read more

Amanda did my hair and make up last Wednesday for my civil wedding and it was absolutely a great experience. She has a home service which I really liked because I don't have to drive all the way to her studio early in the morning since my wedding is at 11am. Everybody loved my simple and natural make up (especially my husband) and a lot of people complimented me on our wedding day. Thank you so much, Amanda! Will definitely have you again for my special occasions in the future. read more

Amanda is such a sweet and gifted MUA. I had a wedding to attend in the Bay Area and with no resources YELP had led me to her. I am so grateful that I came across her. She listened to what I wanted done and she delivered. She transformed me into such a beautiful wedding guest. read more

Amanda did a great job for my make up. I still looked like myself but better! I asked her to gave me a neutral make over and she executed well. I am always nervous when I hire a makeup artist because my skin is a little sensitive and afraid I will have a breakout. Luckily, Amanda uses great products! Thanks for the makeover, definitely will recommend her to friends! read more

I had an important work event to go to and I was referred to Amanda by a friend. I'm not the best at make up and I was scared to get turned into a scary make up clown (which has happened before.) She was kind, funny, and worked with me to get the perfect look I wanted. I prefer a more natural look with emphasis on my eyes and she did just that. I will definitely book her my next event :) read more

I came to her to have my makeup and hair done for a wedding attendance. She is absolutely amazing. From her kindness to her mastery at her skill. All of her products are top of the line. She knew exactly what to use as my color palate and how to make my hair look beautiful. If I could give her 10 stars I would. I had so many compliments on my hair and makeup. Run to make your next appointment and treat yourself. Thank you so much! You made me feel wonderful for a day. read more

Well worth the drive! Manda knows what she is doing, she is not your cookie cutter makeup artist. She also uses top of the line skin products. Her studio is clean and she sanitizes her makeup tools/observes covid precautions. I am also not much of a talker but Manda was so easy to connect with that we shared stories, laughed and giggled along the way. The ambience was so relaxing and positive. I got too many compliments after my makeover that I will definitely be using her again! Loved the chocolate! Thank you Manda! read more

I hired Amanda to do my makeup and my friend's makeup for a school annual gala. She transformed me into a super model. I was complimented so many times about my look and the amazing makeover I had. My friends were also super impressed with her skills. She's also very talented with hair and can pretty much whip anything up. I highly recommend her and she's extremely professional and timely. read more

Amanda is an expert in her field. She did my makeover, but I also saw her work on some of my co-workers to the point where they were barely recognizable. She is able to do a 'natural look' so you don't look plastic or like you're caked in makeup. She knows exactly what to do with each face shape / type, especially when it comes to contouring and enhancing your face structure. Would highly recommend booking her for any type of special occasion. read more
