    Bridal makeup trial. Loved my makeup
    Morgan C.

    I loved everything about Nina! She's warm, funny, and she just seems like one of those people that you've met before. She did my hair and makeup for my October 2019 wedding and I'm so glad I was able to work with her! I have THICK, natural 4c hair and I wanted to wear my natural hair at my wedding. I was having issues finding a hair stylist that could and would work with natural kinky hair. My hair was no problem for Nina; she created a beautiful updo and perfectly incorporated a headpiece (which she suggested) and my veil. I loved my makeup, so glam and feminine. I would definitely work with her again!

    I chose Nina as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding in December 2019, because of her obvious talent and versatility. So many times while searching for the right artist I came across portfolios with photos of women who all looked the same. When I found Nina's website and saw her work I was confident that she would be able to handle my diverse family and friends. One size does not fit all and Nina knows that! My bridesmaids and I looked and felt beautiful and all night everyone complemented my look. Flawless! Nina understood my vision, gave me tips and advice when needed, but was never pushy. I always felt at ease around her. You get what you pay for people, and Nina is WORTH IT

    If you are looking for a makeup artist I am telling you Ninah is the one! Ninah did my hair and makeup for my wedding and her assistant did the makeup for my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their looks! She truly made me feel like a princess that day, I had to hold back tears when I looked in the mirror. Not only was the hair and makeup beautiful, but Ninah really listened to what I wanted and made sure to give it to me (and more!) and this was with no trial run because I live so far away, she worked her magic right then and there and I gave her my full trust. And besides the hair and makeup, Ninah was so sweet and caring, she was majorly calming me down. I think if she wasn't there I would have had a nervous breakdown to be honest! I want to give a shout out to her assistant too (unfortunately I forgot her name) she was awesome! Can't wait to add pictures from the photographer!

    Wow, where do I begin? lol. ..Well, one thing I know for sure is that if you are looking for a hair stylist/ make up artist for any formal event such as proms, weddings, black tie events or any celebration Nina is the professional that you want to contact. I was scrolling through yelp looking for a hair stylist in the area that specializes in wedding hairstyles, as I was to attend a family friends wedding in the Bay Area with my husband when I found Nina on yelp. Already having a general idea of what type of hair style I wanted, I contacted Nina and sent her pictures of what I was looking for. Not only was Nina professional, she is extremely personable and very accommodating. I knew immediately that I was going to like her. While speaking with Nina on the phone, she told me that she normally performed her business from home but that she was currently doing some renovations and had asked me if it was possible for her to come to my place instead. Realizing that that actually helped me out in terms of juggling what time my husband and I needed to leave for the wedding in the bay area I was happy to hear that she could and was willing to come to me in my home. Nina's appointment with me for hair and make-up took about 2 hours, and that time just flew by as we talked about a multitude of things such as the complexity of doing different hairstyles on different ethnicities as well as the dedication to learn the ever adapting art of doing makeup in different styles for differ skin types. I've been told that I have what is called "Japanese hair" which is thick, full bodied but has a touch of natural wave and frizz to it (especially in the dry seasons) I had apologized to Nina for my "unruly hot mess" as I like to call it lol and that I wished that I was blessed with "beautiful manageable straight Asian hair", but a las I was not that lucky. But Nina, bless her, she was very kind and reassuring that she would be able to do her magic on me. By the time she was done with my hair and makeup and handed me the mirror, I was completely blown away. I looked and felt like a "million bucks." I never thought I was able to look that beautiful (because I know that I can't do my hair and makeup that well even if I spent weeks on YouTube trying lol) I've found that finding a good hairstylist/ makeup artist can be like finding a good Dr or a good auto mechanic, they are so hard to find and so very few. When you do find one though, you better remember their number and try to grab their services if they're willing and available. That's how valuable they are. I know that if I ever need hair and make up again Nina will always be my go to. If you are reading this and call her for her services, you wont be disappointed. She's a god send.

    I am new to the area and didn't know any make-up artist. Luckily, i found Nina in Yelp with impressive reviews from her clients. Nina did my hair and make up during my big day. We also scheduled a trial make up before the wedding which I highly recommended for the brides so that the hairstyle and make up is already agreed and it will go smoothly during the wedding day. I must say that Nina was very patient on the trial day as I didn't have a fixed style in mind but due to Nina's expertise, Nina got what i want and she came up with a hairstyle and make up that will really look good on me and match my gown. I was extremely happy with Nina's work. My husband said i looked gorgeous.

    Ninah was amazing! She did 7 of my 10 bridesmaid hair for the big day & they turned out beautiful. They were all working with different textures/lengths, yet she was able to master the style on every one of them. She was extremely professional & overall a wonderful stylist! Thank you so much Ninah!

    Just left Ninah and I knew I already needed to do this review. I had to stop my tears from falling after she was done (I was so afraid I would mess up my makeup) because she did such an awesome job and made me look all glammed up! It is my first time to meet her and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed, almost as if we've known each other for a while! I would HIGHLY recommend Ninah for makeup/hair service! Thank you Ninah for accepting my last minute request and making me feel comfortable!

    Selina R.

    Ninahwee has done an absolute fantastic job on my hair and makeup and will use her again for future events! Finding the right skin tone is already hard as it is and she had no trouble finding it. Such an amazing experience and would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel and look beautiful!

    I have never looked so good in my life! I hired Ninah and her team for Hair and Makeup for my wedding on June 2, 2018. They were professional, fast, funny, stayed on schedule, and did an excellent job. I had a test-drive appointment a few months prior where I was able to figure out what look I wanted and Ninah could get used to my skin and skin type. She made some excellent recommendations for my skin care (which I am still following) and helped me prep my skin for the big day. Day of, Ninah was there throughout the getting ready process and touched up my makeup whenever needed (which was a lot because I kept crying). She also was available through the ceremony and touched up my makeup before the family photos. Overall, I was very happy with Ninah and her team. Thank you!!

    Ninah was very accommodating and very considerate as well. What I loved the most is that she was so friendly, it seemed like I've known her for years (this was my first appointment with her). I also loved that whenever she applied something on my hair and face she made sure I was aware of it and was okay with the direction she was going. Lastly, she asked if I was allergic to anything and it was such a surprise because I've never come across a stylist who considered any effects that may happen. Thank you so much Ninah for taking care of my on my grad day!!! I truly, truly, truly appreciate it!! 100% recommended!

    Amazing work by Ninah

    Do you do Vintage-inspired styling? If so how, much do you charge? I am hunting for a place to do a pin-up curl to my shoulder-length bob for an event I have coming up and so far I have had no luck.

    Hi, yes I do! The rate is $85.00 Do you have any pics for inspo?

    Do they do eyelash extensions and for how much?

    Yes, 120 for mink

Since then (we're talking THREE DECADES-ish), I think I've only gone to the same hair person once. She started working out of her garage and I kinda noped out. So there's been this endless line of decades worth of haircuts that have failed to impress me. I've cut my OWN hair several times. My girlfriend is NOT A FAN of my cosmetological skills, or lack of same. I should rewind a bit. I have curly, sometimes frizzy, nasty hair. It has NEVER LOOKED RIGHT.

Thousands of dollars of products later, I have never achieved the look I was looking for, until today. Today I crossed paths with Amber Smith. Reportedly, she's the only one that does "guy hair" at Enlighten Salon. I told her my sad tale, she was very reassuring, and said "you'll see, you'll look great".
