Meg did hair and makeup for me and 10 other people the morning of my wedding. She brought an assistant, and the two of them were professional, calm, friendly, and SO EFFICIENT it was amazing. Pre-wedding, we did two trials, because she did exactly what I asked for at the first trial, only for me to decide I actually wanted something else. Then she sent questionnaires for everyone in my group to fill out so that she could make sure to budget the right amount of time and have any special materials available, and they were flexible, as my numbers changed in the weeks before the wedding. We all looked beautiful! And as a bonus it was all organic! read more

I hired Meg to do my wedding hair & makeup, and also for my bridal party! Meg is GREAT! She was super easy to work with, understanding, calm (which a bride needs on her big day), and really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I got so many compliments on my hair! I love that her products are all natural too, and I didn't feel like the makeup was caked on or overdone, as can be the case with wedding looks. Definitely recommend Meg for beautiful makeup and hair! read more

It was a joy to have Meg at the wedding and I got so many compliments on my hair. The curls stayed all night for all the ladies, a few of whom have never successfully had their curls stay. My mom felt great in her touched up wig. Meg really worked some magic!!! She also uses natural products that smell and feel amazing, worked BETTER than any normal hairspray I've tried, and have got to be better for me (especially pregnant). I really did not want "crunchy" static hair and it was flowy, full of movement, and soft! On top of all that Meg's a total badass person and very kind. I hope I get to work with her again! read more

Meghan is amazing! I hired her for my wedding hair and makeup. She's awesome to work with, professional, and very patient. I absolutely recommend her! The first photos are of my makeup/hair trial, which I highly recommend you do, to get a sense of Meghan's work and what you want/don't want for your wedding day. We ended up doing something a little different with my hair for the wedding, so that's why the trial is highly recommended. read more

Meghan did my wedding hair and makeup and was such an absolute joy to work with! I love that she uses organic products that were good for the environment and my skin. She got to know me and what I was looking for so well so on the day of my wedding I not only felt beautiful, but I still felt like myself. Not only did she make sure my hair would survive the long day of wind and dancing, but also made sure that it felt comfortable for me with nothing poking or pulling. Her makeup was lightweight, provided coverage without feeling caked on, and lasted the whole night! From the moment I met her for the trial she made me feel at ease and the day of she made the getting ready process comfortable and fun. She is such a kind person and is fantastic at what she does! read more

Meghan was such an incredible makeup artist for our big day. The trial was laid-back, and she made sure to check in about every makeup decision. She had the bridal party at ease on the day of while we were getting ready, and everyone was really happy with their look. Our makeup lasted throughout the day, even through some crying! Best of all, her products are all vegan, something both my now-husband and I value greatly. She was wonderful, and I would recommend her in a heartbeat! read more

Meghan is amazing! She did my wedding makeup and made me feel like a glamorous movie star. With little to no specific direction - just that I loved the Old Hollywood look - she transformed me. She uses great products and the air brushing technique was both cooling and light feeling. The makeup lasted all day/night long - including through 4+ hours of dancing. My hair was perfect - again she captured the Hollywood glam I was going for. She is such a positive and calming personality to have around you on such a hectic day as well. read more

I'm so glad I found Meg to do my makeup for my wedding day. She also did both mom's makeup, and we were all so pretty and happy with the outcome! She was very responsive and helpful via email, and if I ever need my makeup done for any occasion, I'll definitely be reaching out to Meg! Since I'm in SF and she's in Santa Cruz (the wedding was in Ben Lomond), she let me come to her home studio for the trial run, where after that, I knew I found the perfect wedding day makeup artist. She made me feel so pretty and special that I didn't even realize I didn't have my regular black eye liner on like I normally put on daily. After I mentioned that after the trial run, she knew exactly what I needed for the big day, and I loved even the airbrush eyeliner she put on for me. She's amazing!!! The day of, she helped put me in the right mood by playing some good reggae tunes for me, and she was just an absolute pleasure! My mom couldn't stop saying sweet things about her! :-) Her prices are very reasonable, and she doesn't charge a minimum for people like others I was researching for the day, so that was a plus (since we didn't have a wedding party and didn't need a bunch of gals to get done up). I hope our paths cross again, because she was a genuinely amazing human! read more

Meg is the absolute best. I hired her for my wedding hair and makeup for myself, bridesmaids, and mother, and she made everyone's visions come to life in the most amazing way. My hair and makeup stayed so well between the dancing, tears, and everything else. read more

Meghan was awesome. For my wedding day i didn't want to have a heavy amount of make up on. I wanted a more natural look, just more smooth and even, and she really followed through. She is a super chill person to be with as well, which really helps when you are stressed and anxious on your wedding day. I would highly recommend Meghan, for her talent and ability to listen. If you pick her, you are in good hands. read more

Meghan did my hair and makeup for my elopement. I couldn't have been happier with my choice! Her work...She took all of my Pinterest ideas, put them together finding out what I liked about each one, and did a fantastic job applying that to my hair and makeup. Personality... Meghan was very friendly and we had a lovely conversation while she did my hair. Products... I am not someone who ever wears makeup or does my hair so without knowing a ton about the products the airbrushing was very light and breathable and I was told organic as well. Meghan sewed my curls into my updo to alleviate some of the pressure caused by additional bobby pins (kind of difficult to remove but held up well!). Professionalism.. Great! Meghan was reasonably priced for the area and she was willing to complete my services even on a Monday morning! She arrived at the agreed upon time and completed my hair and makeup in the approximate time that she had given me. read more

Meghan did the bridal and brides'maids and officiant's hair and makeup for my wedding, and she is incredible! Because of the timeline restrictions at the venue, she only had a couple of hours to do 6 ladies' hair and makeup, and she is a one-woman workhorse and helped everyone look their best. She was incredible flexible and easy to work with. I normally don't wear makeup day to day, and she didn't make me look over-done, which was a worry of mine. We had a great trial run about a month before the wedding, and the day of the hair and makeup held up great! Thank you thank you!! read more

What a treat! Meghan is wonderful! I'm so glad I found her after relocating to the area. She's super hip to fresh looks and styles and makes the salon experience so less daunting by coming to ME! She's friendly and time efficient. I would definitely go back. My blowout even held up for many days, making the rest of the week a breeze to get ready in the am. If you're looking for a down-to-earth stylist, who knows her business, use Meg! She's amazing! Service: balayage and cut read more

Meg was incredible! She did the hair and makeup for myself and all my bridesmaids on my wedding day, and did not disappoint! Meg is so easy-going and friendly it made everyone feel comfortable around her. She is incredibly talented and everyone looked amazing and natural (makeup wasn't too heavy, which is exactly what I was looking for). Thanks Meg! read more

Meghan is awesome! I'm super low-key and easygoing about most things... except when it relates to my hair. I admit that I can be a real hair snob - I use high end products, I style my hair on a daily basis. The bottom line is, I care about my hair. To a somewhat ridiculous degree. So - to have someone cut my hair for the first time - it's a stressful experience. I don't want to micromanage the person, but I'm also not willing to remain silent and run the risk of looking like someone took a weed-whacker to my head. Like I said - I'm a hair snob. And finding the right person for the job - someone with both patience and skill - can be a real headache... Lucky for me, people like Meghan exist in this world. Not only is she professional, but she'll travel to your place, she'll give you an incredible cut, AND she is super cool and fun! There are few things as satisfying as a proper haircut, and Meghan met and exceeded my expectations for sure. She isn't the cheapest, but she is one of the best! read more

Meghan is SO Wonderful!!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding plus my 2 bridesmaids, step daughter and 96 year old Grandma . She came to my house early Sunday morning on the day of my wedding. She made everyone Feel Special as she did her " magic" on our hair & makeup!! She is so personable and easy to talk with..and she is Truly An Artist!! Thank You Meg!! You Are The BEST!!!! read more

Meghan did an absolutely fantastic job on my wedding hair. I felt so beautiful and everyone said it looked wonderful. She is so calm, kind, and she even gives you a little head massage at the beginning. She is professional and on time. I can't recommend her enough! read more

Meghan did the makeup for my wedding, and she did miracles. I have acne and eczema as well as severe darkness under my eyes. I don't normally wear makeup because it can aggravate my skin. Meghan has lots of experience with sensitive skin, and she used airbrushing as it's more hygienic. The result was superb. I felt glamorous. I usually wear glasses because I'm insecure about the eye darkness. But even though I was wearing contacts, I walked down the aisle with confidence in large part because of Meghan's work. Meghan was very professional despite a couple hiccups which included a last minute location change for my bridal preparation. I greatly appreciate her kindness and flexibility. read more

Loving my fresh cut that Meghan gave me! She's super fun to chat with and positive. Not just for the ladies but for guys that wanna up their style points too! Highly recommended. read more

I reached out to Meghan to do my hair and make-up for my wedding. She was quick to respond, positive and genuine and so easy with which to work. She was great regarding flexibility, my schedule and location. She was early both days (trial and day-of), she was enjoyable with which to chat and have around while many ladies were coming and going, and was great at her work. She was also very open to hearing feedback and focused on the project way before getting paid. She's great and I'd highly recommend her to anyone and for any occasion. Oh, also my make-up lasted through lots of tears and dancing and looked untouched when we closed down the after-party at 2 am. Great work! read more

I cannot recommend Meghan enough! She recently airbrushed my makeup for a photo shoot and it looked amazing. I'm not much for heavy makeup and she was able to make it very natural looking, while still covering every flaw. I went to her home in Santa Cruz, but I know she also travels to clients. I cannot wait to have her do my hair in the near future - I need all the help I can get in this area! Meghan is very talented with a calming personality. If you want to look beautiful, she is your gal. read more

Meghan was awesome! She did bridesmaids, MOB and bridal hair for my wedding! She also did my makeup! She was on time, stayed on schedule all day and made us all look freaking awesome! Some of the girls had idea pictures, some came with nothing and she rocked it! Thanks Meghan! read more

Meghan is amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She is totally self contained, didn't mind working in my small kitchen area and did not have a problem with starting early in the morning. She did airbrush makeup which was amazing! My hair was so pretty and she even changed it a bit for me after our first consult. Plus she was really calm and collected the whole time! Love her! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Meghan. I'm finally getting around to writing a review from my wedding in Nov 2015 where she did my hair and makeup, as well as hair/makeup for many of my bridesmaids. Megan traveled from Santa Cruz to San Francisco for both my trial and wedding, which was much appreciated. She gave me the exact look I was going for with little direction from me. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night! Her personality is lovely as well - such a chill, no-nonsense, great person to be around amongst the hectic goings on of wedding prep! Incredible value for the price - book her immediately, and you won't be disappointed! read more

What a find! I met Meghan while wine tasting and was so happy to find out that she was a hair stylist - new in town. Meghan comes to my house and gave me a fabulous cut and color while I catch up on my DVR, sip on champagne and snack on appetizers. She uses the best products and is very careful with the health of my hair. Meghan is a little it pricier than your average hair stylist in Santa Cruz, but the premium is WELL worth it. I have never been happier with the cut, colorand health of my hair! read more

Meghan Elisabeth is one of a kind. I was lucky enough to stumble across Meghan 3 years ago when I randomly called a new salon to make an appointment, and I've been a client of hers ever since! She has patiently answered all my stupid questions about product, coloring and how to do my own hair. Teaching me how to enjoy my hair and let go of the frustrations I was having before she started working on it. When I got married in 2014, I hired Meghan to do my hair as well as my mom's, sisters', and a couple others. She was extremely professional, but at the same time brought in a relaxed, friendly attitude that made getting ready for the big day carefree and fun. She is creative, passionate, and AMAZING what she does. You will not regret hiring her for your next event, haircut or styling. read more

Meghan did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup! I just love her. On y wedding day I wanted to look like me just a little fancier, we called it Jodi 2.0 and it was perfect. Not only did i LOVE my hair and makeup, Meghan is very sweet and easy to be around (which on your wedding day is important). She has a very calming presence and helped create a relaxing environment by playing a little music and just being herself. She really listens to her clients and cares about how they look and feel as well as being prompt and responsive for meetings and e-mails. I am so glad that I found her. Thank you!!! read more
