I cannot say enough wonderful things about Naomi and her team…read more Working with Naomi for my wedding day was hands-down one of the best decisions I made during the planning process! From the very beginning, communication was seamless, professional, and so reassuring. As someone who rarely wears makeup in my day-to-day life, I was a bit nervous about feeling heavy or looking unlike myself, or not knowing what best complemented me. I had a trial done, and Naomi was incredibly patient, gentle, and welcoming throughout the entire process. She was so accommodating in letting me try new things, and experimenting until we found a look that felt completely right, where I felt like myself. (A bonus is that she was so fun and easy to talk to! She made me feel instantly comfortable). On the morning of the wedding, Naomi was wonderful. Both my hair and makeup turned out even better than I could have imagined--I felt completely like myself, just the most beautiful, radiant version! Additionally, everything held up flawlessly throughout the entire day and night--through crying, dancing, and endless photos. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law also looked and felt so gorgeous, too. (Thank you so much to Jaylyn and Marilyn, who performed their hair and make-up. Seeing my family and friends look absolutely stunning on the day of was a huge highlight of my day. It was absolutely perfect!) Thank you again, Naomi & team!

Brushed by an angel, an angel name Ngan. She is a heaven send!…read more I've found Ngan through one of the FB Wedding groups and after seeing her reviews, Instagram, and website, I reached out to schedule a hair and make up trial. I already knew from the beginning that Ngan was going to be great to work with - she was friendly and personable and it felt like I was having a conversation with an old friend, to be honest. Ngan was not only patient with me through my trial as she listened to my concerns and worked with me who has 0 knowledge about make up, but she provided suggestions and ideas based on my skin tone and likes and dislikes. My mother also did a separate hair trial with Ngan because she had some concerns if she would be able to get her hair in a bun since she had some bald spots she wanted to cover with thin hair and Ngan was able to reassure her and get to work to make her feel good. Coordinating a time and place for both the trial and the actual wedding day was very easy to do. Ngan and her assistant arrived on the morning of wedding in a timely manner and got to work right away. My bridal party looked and felt amazing which was very important to me. My hair and make up looked perfect - Ngan did a fantastic job. Even though we went through a trial already a few months back, she reiterated what we went through, what we agreed on, and asked if there was any changes to the plan. She worked with me and my thinner eyebrows and I have to toot my own horn and say I looked fantastic. Overall, I would highly recommend Ngan for any special occasion - whether it's a wedding, an engagement party, or a "just because I deserve it" day. Her communication is on point, she's patient and kind, and open to any concerns you may have. My hair stayed in place the entire day and my make up turned out great in the photos.

Throughout this whole process she's been organized, flexible, and communicative- did I forget to mention she's also extremely talented!? I had my wedding hair & makeup trial with her this morning and just had to tell the world how fantastic she is. When I came home from the trial this morning my fiancé couldn't take his eyes off me and definitely started tearing up- his reaction solidified it all for me! :) I'm someone who is extremely picky with my makeup and she was able to create a wedding look for me with such ease and positivity. What I really loved about her style was that my makeup looked so glam, polished and elegant without looking too dramatic. The products and technique she uses makes your makeup feel so light and airy! I also have naturally curly hair and it's always been hard for me to find stylists that I trust with my curls- Nia took on my curly head of hair like a pro! She even taught me some amazing tricks and showed me a ton of new products to use to keep my hair happy, healthy, and behaving (if you have curly hair you know what I mean!). You can tell she really loves what she does and truly has a passion for helping people feel beautiful inside and out. I can't thank her enough for making this process so fun and stress-free. I'm so happy that I found Nia and I'm beyond excited to have her style my bridal party on my wedding day. Can't wait to update this review later with more pictures once I get married in May!

There are so many great things to say about Liza - for starters, she was so patient with all of my…read morerequests and was able to help me find a balance between two totally different styles - I wanted heavy, contoured, modern glam (all about that defined brow and matte lip) BUT ALSO a soft, whimsical look because we were getting married in a forest! Impossible right?? She did such a great job of helping me find this look! Her opinions and advice were embraced and I even made a change to my lip color right before she finished off my whole look on the wedding day, and she remained cool, calm, and positive about it! Thank god because I was feeling all the wedding day anxiety. Now that I've had my makeup and hair done for several weddings, I wanted to note a couple things that she does differently which make her well worth your budget. She asks for photos of you with and without makeup prior to the trial (and hair naturally in a photo as well), and she does the same for your bridesmaids. This made me feel like she would be well-prepared for the wedding day for all the different skin tones and hair length that bridesmaids have, lowering the possibility to run short on time. She was also available throughout the year of planning, not just during the trial. I would email her photos and she would send some back, and I would send feedback about my trial look that I wanted to adjust after seeing the photos she took for me (hint - take photos and look at them a week or two later with fresh eyes). I noticed that she also took notes from our trial and had reviewed them on the wedding day - I haven't seen any other artist do this that I've worked with. This also helped with the time efficiency AND getting that look perfectly since the last time we had done the trial was months before. Trust me, you'll have Bride Brain no matter how organized you are and you can't have an artist who asks you what lip color it was that you had wanted. So glad she had the look all set to go and from there we went! I am so pleased with how my makeup turned out in my photos and lastly, she brought an assistant because I had so many bridesmaids and she was seriously incredible too. I LOVED my BM's makeup and hair (always a plus...haha)!

As a client, you really feel you are in great hands (literally) with Liza. I've had the privilege to be her face canvas for an outdoor boudoir shoot and for my wedding this past June. For the boudoir shoot, Liza did my hair and make-up and I remember coming home that night not wanting to take my make-up off because I've never had it done so good!

For my wedding, Liza along with a second artist, Rose Lasprilla, took care of me, my mom and my bridesmaids. Liza definitely helped make the vision for my wedding come true and I can't thank her enough for making all of us feel beautiful and look great in our pictures on that special day!

I had a great overall experience working with Raman Brar and her team for my wedding weekend, and…read moreI'm happy to leave a 5-star review because I truly loved my hair and makeup overall. My makeup looked beautiful throughout all of my events. On the morning of my wedding, my mascara did run after a few hours during our first ceremony. We decided not to use mascara for my second ceremony that evening, and everything held up perfectly. I don't necessarily blame Raman for this since everyone's skin is different, but if you have oilier eyelids like I do, it's something worth discussing during your trial or before your wedding day. My hair was one of my favorite parts of my looks, especially for our Sangeet. I have very thin hair, and Raman and her team did a wonderful job incorporating the extensions I purchased to create fullness and volume. My Sangeet hairstyle was my favorite of the weekend! My final hairstyle wasn't quite as full as I had envisioned, especially since we had discussed my hair's thinness beforehand, but overall I was very happy with all of my bridal looks. There are just a couple of things I'd recommend future brides keep in mind when planning their timeline. For my wedding morning, we started my bridal hair and makeup on time at 5:00 a.m , but we still ended up running behind my scheduled ready time. Later that day, before my second ceremony, Raman also arrived later than expected, so we had to move through my makeup a little more quickly. Wedding weekends can be unpredictable, and I know timing doesn't always go exactly as planned, but I'd recommend building in a little extra buffer time if your schedule is tight. We also had Raman's team do hair and makeup for my immediate family. We had originally expected each appointment to take around 45 minutes to an hour, but some took over two hours, which unfortunately caused a few family members to miss important photos. Raman explained that part of the delay was because some people arrived with wet hair that needed to be dried first, so I'd definitely recommend making sure everyone's hair is fully dry before their appointment. I also think having a little flexibility in the order of appointments when some people are ready earlier could help keep the overall timeline moving smoothly. Because the morning ran longer than expected, my family decided to skip their scheduled touch-ups before our second ceremony because they were worried about falling behind again. We still paid for the touch-up services since the artists had reserved that time, but it was unfortunate that we didn't end up taking advantage of them. Overall, though, Raman is incredibly talented, and I truly loved how I looked throughout my wedding weekend. She was also very receptive when I shared my experience afterward, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend Raman to future brides, especially if you build a little extra time into your schedule. Her work speaks for itself, and I felt beautiful on one of the most important weekends of my life.

Update: Ive attached screenshots of when exactly Raman called, and you can see I was texting her…read morethroughout the day. As mentioned I couldn't be on the phone because it was crunch time logistically, as I was handling so many logistics for my brother's event. Still I was texting Raman. After Raman agreed to hold the MUA until 5pm at 1:28pm, she said she Jassi wasn't available at 1:41pm. -------------------------------------------- I want to warn people about this vendor. I hired her for my wedding in 2024 and there were several things that she fell short on: 1. She forgot bobby pins to do my hair...on my wedding. She was my hired makeup and hair artist. So on the day of my wedding when its supposed to be a calm time, unfortunately I had to scramble to go and grab pins from my aunts home. 2. She let me know she would bring fresh flowers for my hair on my wedding day, she also forgot those on the day of my wedding. 3. She placed my small/medium tikka on my head, but unfortunately she did not secure it in a manner that a professional would. On my actual wedding day, when I was bending down to matha tek, my tikka popped off-- which was very embarrassing. 4. She was confused about where we were meeting on the day of my jaggo and for some reason thought that I would be coming to her in Livermore, even though my event was in Merced and we had already discussed that she would be coming to Merced. She was able to make arrangements to come to Merced, but it added additional stress. 5. She talked about herself throughout my hair and makeup, boasting about herself and complimenting herself 6. She asked me why do we need to start so early for hair and makeup on the day of my wedding, and then she herself made me 30 min+ late on the day of my wedding. The redeeming quality about her work is that she is able to work well on brown south asian skin, her skin makeup was soft and dewy (though my eyes were smudged before I even got to my ceremony...which is not normal for me). I am a person that really cares about skin with makeup so against my better judgment, I decided to hire her for myself and my mother for my brother's engagement. This was booked months in advance. Fast forward to May 2026, I get a call from Raman less than 24 hours before the booking. She tells me that her mother-in-law is not well so she won't be able to make it. Then she says she does have a "senior" artist who can replace her. I tell her I'm sorry to hear about the situation with her mother-in-law, I ask her who the senior artist is. She says her name is Jassi.... I asked her what her last name is and Raman said she didn't know. I then asked her if she has an Instagram and then she also said she does not have an Instagram or anywhere that I could see her portfolio. I told her I needed some time to think about it and Raman sent me some pictures that she claimed to be Jassi with no last name's work. (It gets worse) At so late in the game, I was already handling so many logistics for my brother's ceremony. I asked Raman to give me until five to get back to her. She obliged, though she was putting pressure on me stating that "Jassi" wanted to confirm ASAP because she was considering another client. I asked Raman to give me Jassi's contact information, and Raman said that it was too late because Jassi has already booked with another client due to "Jassi" not feeling comfortable because I didnt "trust her." All screenshots are attached. this happened within a matter of 20 minutes, so it's safe to say this is suspicious at best and a blatant lie at worst. Raman's contract states that she will provide a "senior" makeup artist in her absence, she wasn't even able to follow through on that. I took a look at Raman's social media, and I found what happened in reality is that Raman ACTUALLY booked a bride on the day of my event. So her mother-in-law was not ill, Raman actually just wanted to go with the booking that had more pay. I have attached the screenshots below of her working with the other client, multiple vendors also posted her working with the client on the day of my brother's engagement. That being said, I would be weary of this vendor. She is unprofessional and a liar, and no level of artistry can redeem that. The worst part of it all, is she charges luxury prices-- 1100 was what she charged 2 years ago for hair and makeup. Whats the point of charging luxury prices if you dont even have bare minimum professionalism and character? She is the type of person that gives MUA a bad reputation.
