Gina did the hair and makeup for my sister's wedding last weekend and honestly I have never been more impressed. She made us all look and feel so beautiful! Gina has an easy going and engaging personality that makes getting ready relaxing and fun. She worked with each of the girls to make sure our makeup was what we wanted and not too over the top. My sister looked absolutely stunning and felt like a princess which is what matters most! I loved my look and got compliments all night. Gina is very professional, very responsive and even put up with me stressing out about how to wear my hair the day of weeks before the wedding. She is competitively priced for the area. I wasn't at the trial she did with my sister, but immediately got a phone call after saying how great she was to work with and that both my mom and my sister were just so happy. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any bride in the Bay Area. read more

Gina is amazing! I have been a long time admirer of her style and hair creations. That it was without a doubt I was going to ask her to do my hair & make up for my wedding. Day of trial we discussed what I was looking for. She asked all the right questions and I felt like she read my mind. Gina made me feel completely comfortable and listened to all of my concerns. The end result was exactly the look I was going for and I could not have been happier. Day of wedding she did both my make up as well as my maid of honor. We were so happy and impressed the lasting power of our make up. We spent 6+ hours without touch up at the end of summer outdoors. That's pretty fantastic! She is prompt, punctual and courteous. Has great ideas to brainstorm if you're unsure of the look or style for your event. I cannot thank her enough for making me look like a princess on one of the most important and happiest day of my life. read more

Gina did the hair and makeup for my wedding in September 2019 and she did such a great job! Communication was super easy and fast and she had all of the times for hair/makeup organized so that my bridesmaids knew when it was their turn to go. It was awesome that she was able to come to the house so that we could just relax and enjoy the pre-wedding time! Beautiful work for skin and hair of all different types and the airbrush makeup stayed on for the whole evening in 100 degree weather! Thank you Gina! read more

I met Gina through a mutual friend, and am hooked! I went to her for a massage at her cute studio in Milpitas and it was amazing! She spent special attention to my personal needs and unique condition. I used her for my wedding hair and makeup and was so happy with her work. My girls loved how she brought her own chair for us to sit in. My hair was better than I imagined and we did a few tweaks to my makeup from the trial and it was perfect! - it even looked good after I jumped in the swimming pool at the end of my wedding :p Gina is very friendly, conducts great business and is quite professional. I recommend Gina to all my friends who need beautiful makeup and or hair. I'm going to have to go try a facial with her now. read more

Gina did both my hair and makeup for my wedding, and the results were fantastic! She is so talented, professional, warm-hearted, and willing to keep adjusting until we got it just right! My hair was the star of the show, every guest commented on how beautiful it was, even the men! Her airbrush makeup and lashes not only survived the ceremony and reception, but a last minute dive into the swimming pool me and my groom took in our suit and gown! I love you Gina!!!! XOXO read more

I am so happy that I contacted Gina to do my hair and makeup for my recent wedding. My husband and I live in Chicago, but got married in San Francisco, so I was really worried about how my hair/makeup would turn out without being able to do a practice run ahead of time. I sent Gina a few pictures of hairstyles that I liked the week before the wedding, and described the makeup look I was going for the day of the wedding. Needless to say, Gina did a fantastic job!!! She arrived on time, was professional (and really cool!), and worked quickly with wonderful results. My hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted and had imagined. She also did the hair of my two bridesmaids, and both turned out beautiful. I highly recommend Skin By Gina! read more

Recently got married back in November... did a trial with Gina and I honestly have never felt prettier. I told her a little bit about the style and colors I was going for, and boy did she deliver. Gina is always very professional yet personable, and has a raw talent for make up and hair styling. On my actual wedding day, she again delivered fabulous results and my pictures came out absolutely beautiful. Many people ask who did my make up and I always recommend her. Furthermore, if I ever have a special event again, she will be the first person I call!! A couple weeks ago, I booked an appointment with her to look at my skin because I suddenly began breaking out on my chin. She did a consultation with me, gave me an amazing facial (complete with one of the best shoulder massages I've ever received), and recommended a couple new products which I switched to. As of today, I have no breakout on my chin, and love the new products she recommended. This girl knows whatsup!!!!! read more

I making this review on behalf of my fiance. He received his very first massage by Gina, you know he's one of those macho types, so I really thought he wasn't going to agree to do it. He totally did, and by god Gina did an amazing job. He walked out, saying he felt like a new man, and sort of like jello! My fiance is a construction worker, and has a very bad back, and is always complaining about it. I was tired of him whining, and thought, lets do something about this?! By far Gina is the best and now I have my fiance on a 6 week schedule for his massages. read more

Gina did my hair and makeup for my wedding earlier this month. I can honestly say that of all the vendors that were a part of our wedding, Gina stands out as the best, most professional person I worked with. She was the best decision that I made during the wedding process. My wedding planner referred me to Skin By Gina, as she has done many of her weddings in the past. A few months before the wedding, I called Gina and scheduled a trial. She arrived at my house with all of her products and did my hair and makeup exactly how I envisioned it. She took my theme, dress, and features into consideration to help me get to the exact hair and makeup that I wanted for my big day. She took pictures and notes of everything we reviewed. When the wedding month approached, Gina sent me a schedule for my bridesmaids and mom's hair and makeup. She also introduced me to her assistants that would be helping with the large bridal party. Gina worked with me to ensure the schedule was perfect and that all of the bridesmaids knew what time to be there. On the day of the wedding, Gina and her two assistants arrived at 7 AM and set up very quickly. They got straight to work and were able to complete 7 girls' hair and makeup ahead of schedule! She kept everyone moving and made sure that we stuck to the schedule. She was able to collect payments from each of the bridesmaids and organized the entire schedule and payment process. She eliminated any drama or issues with the bridesmaids by printing a picture of how I envisioned their hair and makeup, and telling them that was what they were going to do. I am so glad I did it that way because they all looked so cohesive. She dealt with the bridesmaids directly so that I was able to focus on quality time with my mom, review my vows, eat, etc., without worrying if we were on time or if everyone was paid. Gina organized everything. When it was time for my makeup, which we did last, we had a cushion of time and we were not rushed at all. I felt so calm. She spent almost 45 minutes on me making sure my hair and makeup was exactly as I envisioned it. When we finished my hair and makeup, we had 30 minutes to kill...we were actually done early! The photographers were not to arrive for another half an hour! I was never once rushed. When I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time, I was absolutely blown away. Not only did I feel beautiful and like the best version of myself, I also was SO impressed how she was able to capture my vision better than I could have imagined. She took everything I said into account and made my dreams a reality. Even after the her assistants left the hotel, Gina stayed behind and waited for the photographers to finish all of the pictures of me getting dressed, before she assisted with my veil. She was there until the second I got into the limo to be sure that my hair and makeup was perfect. Gina was recently married in 2015 and she knew all of the feelings and excitement that I was feeling. She gave me great advice about soaking in each moment and getting away with my husband for some quality time during the reception. Her advice truly made my wedding all the more special. I can honestly say, because of Gina, I felt extremely calm, confident, and ready to walk towards my future husband. It has been 1 month since the wedding and I still get chills when I think about the first time I looked in the mirror. Gina is an artist and knows her stuff. She taught airbrush and makeup schools and truly is an experienced, professional artist. She can make you look exactly how you always envisioned on your wedding day. After the wedding, Gina sent me a thank you card which was just the cherry on top. She was a blessing and someone that I can call a friend for life. read more

I've worked side by side with Gina, and she is the best money can buy. You won't regret working with her. Her professional work and amazing attitude are superior! Thank you Gina. read more

Gina is wonderful! I was at the Lush Bridal Fair and she was there doing airbrush makeup. I don't put makeup on and if I did I don't put too much. We were talking about my past experiences and how people made me look like a clown because they didn't know how to do Asian eyes. Gina took the extra time and did my eyes. It was just what I wanted. Natural. I was fortunate to have won the grand prize at the fair and part of the prize was Skin by Gina. I won a makeup trial. She did my makeup for my engagement session. I loved it! I couldn't stop staring at myself in the mirror and didn't even want to wash my face at the end of the day. lol My fiance also loved it. I didn't have to think twice and didn't even look elsewhere to compare. I booked her! I had Gina and Sheila from Social Butterfly do my hair and makeup and it was a great experience. I cannot wait till my wedding day! read more

I love GIna!!!! I was having one the worst days ever and I went to see her after work for a relaxing massage and facial. Not only did she clear my skin but the relaxation she provided was amazing! She's so sweet, she listened to by bitching and whining and made me feel so much better! By far one of the best things to come out of milpitas!!! I recommend her to everyone!! I'll definitely be back every 6 weeks!! read more

I was looking all over for a person that specializes in facials, massages, and waxing basically the whole nine...so I turned to yelp and I found Gina. I went in on a Saturday morning and got a facial. She was very nice, professional and didn't try to rush things. She took the time to get to know me. Gina did an amazing job and even gave me tips on how to improve my skin. The atmosphere was very pleasant and I felt "at home". I will always go back to Gina. read more

This review is so long overdue! Sorry Gina! Gina did my makeup and hair for my bachelorette party, wedding, and when I was MOH in another wedding. She does a fantastic job! Everyone who worked with her was so happy with the results! I am super picky about how my hair and makeup looks, GIna took all my requests and was able to give me exactly what i wanted each time. I always felt amazing after, she is fun to talk with during the appointment and offered me some calming words when I was getting stressed on my big day. She is the best! I also got a facial and had my brows done by her, again, amazing job on all! One of the best things for me was that she was really good at taking what I "said" I wanted, what I actually wanted, and finding an amazing final result! I found myself torn a lot of times between what I thought I "should" look like and what I actually wanted, she would take what I said and find the perfect combo of "me" in the mixed messages. A lot of times acknowledging "this looks more 'you.'" I couldn't have been happier, and I continue to call her when I have big events. Thanks Gina! read more

Skin by Gina is AMAZING!!!! I would recommend Gina a million times!!!! I am 7 months pregnant and without Gina, I don't think I'd make it! I've been a client of hers for years and she has been able to meet all of my changing needs from Make-up to pre-natal acne and massage. My face broke out horribly in my first tri-mester and it was Gina to the rescue! Now that I am further along, it's her massage skills that keep me going! I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful place to pamper myself! read more

I would call her back in a heartbeat for any events that I have in the future! read more

Gina is an exceptional pro when it comes to beauty and skin. I chose Skin by Gina for my wedding day makeup because of all the wonderful service I've received over the years from Gina. Not only is she a talented massage therapist (the best massages ever!) and esthetician, her makeup and hair styling technique is truly artistic. On my makeup trial day, she was very punctual and receptive to any requests I had. The wedding day makeup was flawless and lasted all day without touch ups. I loved the airbrush makeup and got so many compliments. You can tell how much Gina enjoys her craft, she is constantly evolving with the newest trends and loves to pamper brides to be. She is very accommodating and has a great spirit, that's why i'll keep using Skin by Gina's services. read more

Gina was recommended to me by my wedding photographer (Photography by Busa - check him out!). and I am so thankful to have found her! I got married in CA but I live in Texas and was having real trouble finding someone who didn't charge a fortune for wedding hair. I didn't have time to go in for a trial, so I talked with her about what I was wanting and just sent her pictures ahead of time. My day-of hair experience was better than I could have imagined. Gina did my hair and my maid of honor's hair and we both loved her. She asked for our input and showed us both every step of our hair styling. No "surprises" when you look in the mirror with Gina - she really does listen to you! Thank you for making me look so beautiful on my special day! read more

I booked Gina for hair and makeup for myself, 7 bridesmaids, and 2 flower girls. She was seriously amazing! We all looked our best and were ready to go on schedule. At the end of my wedding (15 hours later) my hair and makeup were still looking as flawless as when I left for the ceremony! Couldn't recommend her enough! read more

Gina books up quick so BOOK IN ADVANCE. Her massages are amazing--true bliss!

I have been going to Gina for facial for past few months. Thanks Yelp for helping me find her. I have been hearing comments from every one that I seem to be getting younger. Do I need to add anything more? I now use the same products at home that she uses during my sessions - and I love the way my skin feels and looks. read more

Let me start this review by saying I have rarely liked the outcome of getting my makeup professionally done in the past so I was really nervous about finding a MUA for my wedding. I researched and researched makeup artists, looking for that certain style that could be a match for what I wanted. When I came across Skin by Gina, not only was she backed up by some really impressive reviews, the gallery of her work on her website and the pictures her clients had posted were sensational and set her apart. And when I met her in person for the trial, I knew immediately she was the girl for the job! She knocked my hair and makeup trial out of the park and when it came to the wedding, I literally teared up when I took that first glance in the mirror. She did such a beautiful job. I felt absolutely gorgeous. Gina is a true talent - and such a kind soul! She has such a calming, kind presence and is so easy to talk to - it's like having a friend doing your hair and make-up...and that's a wonderful added bonus on a whirlwind of a day as your wedding day! I would recommend her a million times over! read more

Gina, is the most talented makeup and hairstylist artist when it comes to making a bride look fabulous and so beautiful inside and out. I met Gina and we instantly hit it off. She has a warm, glowing personality and wants to make you look beautiful. She has great recommendations for your hairstyle as well as you makeup on your wedding day. She did a trial run on me and came to my home. I had a chance to get to know her and feel comfortable in my own surroundings and then she performed his skills on my wedding day with perfection and took charge to get the 4 of us ready on time. She is extremely professional and very talented in making you look "how you want to look on your big day". My hair and makeup were flawless and did not need any touch ups. My bridesmaids all have long hair and she put their hair up and they all looked amazing. I would highly recommended Gina as she is a new bride herself and knows how to get the job done on time and within your budget. My family and friends all said I looked so beautiful on my wedding day April 27, 2014 but it was Gina's talent that got me there. read more
