What a terrible experience, not only was the other artist late but they didn't even match my face color with my body and I got dinged for it on my placing. This would have never happened with Briana! She is always right now target with the color match and just enough drama to the makeup without looking overdone or too boring. This experience just made me further appreciate Briana. Highly recommend her to anyone.

Briana is awesome. I had a last minute engagement come up, and was panicking a little, since hair…read moreand makeup are definitely not my area of expertise. After leaving a message, Briana promptly called me back, heard me out, demonstrated true concern for my time constraint and how to best approach my deadline, and was able to squeeze me in. Briana is professional, knowledgeable, talented, patient, personable, and vigilant of one's time. She asked about and addressed any concerns I might have whether they were related to my hair or makeup, and what I was willing to use considering my skin sensitivity. All in all the appointment was a very pleasant experience, and I left with the exact look I had been imagining. A natural, yet beautiful look where I still felt like me. I highly recommend Briana, because she will patiently and happily go above and beyond to help you narrow down what you want to achieve (look wise), and then fulfill the look you're going for.

I came here recently for a spray tan and it was incredible. NO where near orange, and it smells great! I loved it so much I already booked my next appointment! I also had a blowout done here and the woman was so wonderful and listened to my concerns. I have very fine thin hair that can't hold a curl very well. She listened and understood my concerns and used specific products and curled my hair a certain way and the curls LASTED ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!!!!!!! They also do custom foundations!!!! ITS AMAZING! They customize it to your preference of coverage, matte, dewy, spf, and minerals! You name it, they got it! They keep your record on file so that you can easily call back and they'll make it for you again to come pick up! I'M HOOKED!!!!!!!! This place is absolutely amazing and everyone is so nice and I just cant wait to go back again to feel like a million bucks!!!!!!!!

Photo attached, taken on July 4th, the day after. My hair was fried from HOURS in bleach. The color was inconsistent. I ended up crying on the floor of Target to buy bleach just so I could have something that looked close to normal. I had to chop off 6 inches of hair and give myself bangs because of the sheer volume of fried hair. It is several months later and I have spent close to $2500 trying to fix my hair. The ends are still crispy and break off and my hair is barely chin length. Of note, he barely wore a mask the entire time. He also left bleach in my hair while he went into the hallway to argue with a girl who took a photo of him doing hair without a mask. He also commented on my husband who is of Chinese descent something to the effect of "I love Asian men! They are like f*cking a dolphin because they are so smooth!" He also kept sneaking in the back to take shots of vodka so pretty sure he wasn't sober most of the time. These are just the highlights of the experience. Suffice it to say, I will not be going back and I would not recommend this business to anyone I want to remain friends with.

She did an amazing job with everyone's different skin types and tones, and was just such a positive presence throughout the entire day. I did a trial with her beforehand, which I highly recommend! I originally thought I wanted full glam, but after the trial realized soft glam felt much more like me. I shared that feedback with Brianna and on the wedding day she absolutely nailed it. I felt beautiful while still feeling like myself! I also booked her for touch-ups, which I HIGHLY recommend. Not only did she make sure my makeup looked perfect all day, but she was carrying my bouquet, cheering us on, and was just so fun and supportive to have around. I truly can't recommend Brianna enough!

Her calming presence was exactly what I needed on such a special day. Brianna is incredibly talented at what she does, and it truly shows in her work. I felt beautiful, confident, and still very much like myself, which was so important to me. What really stood out was how she went above and beyond, providing me with extra product, a touch-up bag, and even sending a thoughtful thank-you note afterward. Those little touches show just how much she cares about her clients. If you're looking for someone who is not only gifted in her craft but also genuinely kind and attentive, I can't recommend Brianna enough!

Candelaria Beauty should work on transparency and honesty with prospective clients. I submitted an…read moreinquiry to Candelaria about a month ago and received an immediate response and talked with Cassie the same day. At the time we spoke, she stated that other people had inquired about my date, but something should work (even going as far as to say that people with my wedding planner got some sort of preference). The phone call ended with her saying she would send me a proposal that evening. When the proposal did not come, I followed up one week later and received no response. Two weeks later, I received an email from Cassie saying that after our phone call she realized that she could not put together a team for me, followed by some boilerplate rhetoric about how she wants only people she knows that can fit my wedding needs to help me. This email honestly came too late. If there was any issue with availability that needs to be immediately communicated. The wedding industry can be complex and stressful. Especially, when it comes to ensuring availability of the vendors you want. Waiting this long to express an availability issue put me at a disadvantage for reaching out to other vendors (I have done so but after speaking with Candelaria they were my top pick and I wanted to wait for a proposal). This all comes after I expressed to Candelaria that scheduling makeup was my biggest wedding stressor. After this experience, their concern for their customers and interest in their "special day" rings hollow. From other reviews, this seems to be a common theme. This practice is unprofessional and hurts people. They seem really nice and like they are talented makeup artists. However, they need to work on their communication and transparency instead of stringing prospective clients along.

Like, I'm calling b/c I need the service (and I'm super busy right now) so you don't need to sell it to me. But I need to know how much you charge so I can compare it to other quotes I have. Bad business model, IMO. Sad b/c their photos look great.

I am telling you hands down she is the BEST makeup artist in the Bay Area (and surrounding…read morevicinity) When it came to hair and makeup for my wedding I knew what I wanted..to look like the best me i could be. I did a lot of research online about makeup artists in the bay area and decided that there were a few that sounded like they really knew what they were doing, and so I figured I should give them all a try. I booked trials (on the same day) just to be able to compare and pick the best. My fiancé (now husband) came along with me for my trials. I had some disappointing experiences that day, and then we went to see Myrium. Right off the bat my husband was "hands down you need to have Myrium do your makeup on the day of the wedding" Not only did he love her work (which says a lot) I was completely impressed as well. Do yourself a favor and have a trial done by her if your looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, I promise you will not be disappointed. Her and her team are super friendly and professional as well which is a big plus. She def. knows how to give you that flawless look every bride is looking for on their big day. Can't say enough great things about her and her work!

We had a trial and a styling appointment beforehand, where I described the look I was going for, and she gave many useful tips and suggestions on how we can achieve it. Fast forward to the wedding day- Myrium was very punctual. We had organized for her to bring 2 assistants along to do my family members' hair and makeup, however one of the assistants did not show as her car broke down. Myrium was very apologetic and made sure that she and the other assistant got everybody ready on time. Myrium made me look like a princess on my wedding day, and kept me so calm while she was working on my hair and makeup. I was stunned at the outcome, and everyone could not stop complimenting my subtle yet striking bridal makeup and beautiful updo for the morning ceremony. I had one hour between the wedding ceremony and reception for Myrium to completely change my look- she re-did my hair and makeup quickly and efficiently, and gave me a totally new dazzling look for the evening. I do not have enough good things to say about my experience with her- she is AMAZING. I consider her one of my best wedding vendors. If you are looking for a reliable and professional make up artist who is also great to talk to, I HIGHLY recommend Myrium.

I love how clear, organized, and transparent she is about the booking process. She really nailed that first impression. For the company I was shooting with, the only time slot available was 8am. UGH, so early. Without any complaints or grumbling, Tiffany showed up at my apartment bright and early at 6am. She's so easygoing and accommodating. I felt so relaxed and confident going into the photoshoot, I'd forgotten how empowering it is to be around other women. My last shoot involved dark and gothy makeup, so Tiffany went for a light and pink look, which I absolutely loved! I love how versatile her skillset is, and I'll definitely be hiring her again in the future. From weddings to boudoir shoots, Tiffany seems like she can do it all.

I was so wrong. This is the worst I've ever had. My hair was a little bit on the darker side, and I wanted it to be lighter. she told me that she couldn't do highlights because my hair was too dark and that she would have to reach out the previous color. The bleach sat in my hair for over 1.5 hours. It lightened up some, but was not a lot. She told me my hair was dry and that she was concerned about damaging it. I told her that that's fine and that we don't have to lighten it a lot. She proceeded to foil it and put more bleach in my hair for highlights. this time the bleach sat in my hair for another hour. The file was taken out and the highlights looked pretty blonde. She had another stylist work on my hair at this point, and she put toner in. The toner sat too long, and after washing it, it looked like I had no highlights at all. They proceeded to blow dry my hair and my hair was so dry and damaged that each time they ran the brush through , I could feel hair being ripped out of my scalp. The ends were so ratted it looked burnt. She told me it was going to be OK since most of it will be cut off by the style that I wanted. The haircut looked nothing like the picture that I showed her and she cut off way more than I wanted. And I told her that I had no more highlights in my hair. So she told me she was going to fix it, and she brought me over to the sink and stripped the color from my hair.. So by this point, my hair has been processed a total of three times. And after all the cutting to get to healthy ends by stripping the color the last time it did further damage to end and so she had to cut it even more. I was about to cry when I saw myself in the mirror. All of this cost me $220. Think twice before coming here. You can see from my photos might before and after. And also see the damage to the ends of my hair. My hair was halfway down my back and now in order to get rid of all the damage ends I have had to get it cut up to a Bob above my shoulder and let my hair grow out again. I wish I could give a lower rating .
