I was vacillating about whether or not to spend the money on hiring a professional makeup artist…read moreand hair stylist for my son's wedding. (My son's wedding date was July 28th at Tre Posti St Helena.) I asked my soon-to-be daughter-in-law if I could pay to use services of her professionals, after the bridesmaids were all set. She said that there simply wouldn't be enough time, as the artists & stylists were also assisting her mother, aunts, grandmothers, etc. Stephanie however gave me a great piece of advice "You will only be a MOG (Mother of the Groom) once, so you won't regret it if you hire someone to look your best!" I began searching Yelp for the St Helena area, and after reading the positive reviews of Victoria Wallet, I sent her an email. She responded immediately and suggested that I set up an appointment for a trial session. Unfortunately, I simply did not have the time to do this as I was leaving to attend my nephews wedding in Tuscany, and then hosting relatives from all over the world coming for my son's wedding. We emailed back & forth about the price, date & time of the wedding, location of my hotel etc. I also emailed her photos of myself. We then set up a date & time for us to chat on the phone. She asked what hairstyle I wanted, and I said, " I want an up do chignon that is classy, but I have baby fine hair." Victoria told me to go on Amazon and purchase "ponytail hair extensions". I was so pleased because the hair extensions were the same color as my hair! The day of the event, I was nervous in my hotel room. But Victoria was on time and quickly put me at ease. She assessed the lighting in my hotel room, laid her tools out on the bed and table and set to work! Victoria has incredible talent and an awesome personality. The hair extensions looked so natural - see the photos I posted! Also, I've never had airbrushing before and I really like how it covered and smoothed out my skin without feeling like the makeup was caked on giving a flawless, natural-looking appearance! I also wore false eyelashes for the first time and they looked fabulous! I loved my hair and it stayed up all night. My makeup held up the entire night with the heat and dancing. Victoria's professionalism and personality made the day of the wedding that much enjoyable.

I normally don't write reviews, but my wife's experience with MM Beauty and Morgan was so…read moredisappointing that I feel I need to warn others. From the very beginning, the process was a mess -- multiple cancelations, last-minute substitutions, and poor communication. This forced us to spend extra time and money traveling, scrambling, and stressing over what was otherwise one of the happiest days of our lives. My wife's wedding day was marred by the lack of reliability and professionalism from Morgan and her team. When my wife raised these concerns directly, Morgan actually acknowledged the countless mistakes and admitted the process had been mishandled. But instead of taking accountability in any meaningful way, she flat-out refused to offer any monetary compensation. The only "solution" she proposed was store credit or a complimentary service -- which is insulting. After going through all of this, why on earth would we ever go back? I think the worst part was her attitude when we called to complain, she admitted fault, she knew we would expect compensation (but didn't offer it), but she didn't seem to be sorry...just upset and defensive and what's not what you want when dealing with your wedding. This experience caused us unnecessary stress and financial loss. If you're looking for a beauty team you can rely on for your wedding or any major event, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. --Josh (husband of the bride)

A Natural Bride's Surprise: Loving Extensions for Fine Hair…read more I'm a current client of Linh, and she has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout the process of helping me find my bridal style. I'm someone who usually keeps things very simple--I rarely do my hair or makeup beyond a light, natural look, and I often just throw my hair up into a bun. I also have some sensory sensitivities, so I'm particularly sensitive to makeup that feels heavy or "sticky." For my wedding day, I wanted something a little more elevated, but I felt pretty lost trying to figure out what would feel special while still feeling like ME. I had a sense of how I wanted to feel, but struggled to find inspiration photos or imagine how different styles would actually look on me. I was also unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology--like "medium coverage" vs. "full coverage," or the difference between curls and Hollywood waves. Linh took the time to walk me through all of my options. She explained different makeup styles, lash types, blush placement, and more in a way that felt approachable and easy to understand. She also guided me through hair options that would work for my specific hair type. Since I'd never had my hair professionally styled before, I wasn't sure what styles would realistically work for me or whether my fine, dry hair would hold them. Linh taught me that extensions aren't just for adding length--they can also add volume and help fine hair achieve certain styles. She recommended affordable, natural-looking clip-in extensions that matched my dirty blonde/bronde hair color and length perfectly. They were surprisingly easy to use and made a huge difference--my hair held a Hollywood wave style all day instead of falling flat after a few hours. Throughout the process, Linh was also very receptive to my feedback and open to follow-up trials as I continued to refine what I liked and what felt right for me. That flexibility made a huge difference as I figured things out. Overall, Linh made what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I feel much more confident going into my wedding day thanks to her guidance.
