We had the pleasure to work with Grace and had an overall pleasant experience. From beginning to…read moreend, Grace was extremely detailed and thoughtful with understanding all of my requests for my bridal look. The best part about Grace was that she was always extremely responsive and flexible with scheduling. She helped guide me through different hair accessory options and provided detailed advice on what type of hair extensions I could consider. Before the trial and the wedding day, I prepared a brief slide deck that included photos of my vision and my wedding parties' preferences. She always communicated ahead of time so I could ensure the team was well prepared. During the trial, Grace was extremely cooperative in aligning my trial with my engagement photoshoot. She was super flexible and listened to all my feedback during the session. For example, she noted my oily skin/eyelids, was attentive to how I preferred my bangs, helped add volume to the areas I was concerned, and even included some of my favorite makeup products that I brought along with me. We communicated very well and it was such a joy to work with someone that I vibed so well with! The trial experience made it easier for me to trust in her completely during the wedding day. On the wedding day, Grace was very thoughtful and considered the proper amount of time her team would need to complete a round of hair and makeup for a group of 10, including the bride, groom, bridesmaids, MOB, MOG, and sister. Their team arrived on time and setup was completely seamless. I really appreciated their thoughtful consideration to layer in good quality skincare to make the makeup long lasting. Grace was also super helpful in leading her team, by helping touch up after hair and make up were completed by the other team members, and checking in to ensure the team was not running too far behind. As expected with all hair & make-up prep, there are always a few delays, but Grace was able to ensure that everyone caught up on time smoothly and was ready by the agreed time of 12:30PM. Specifically for the bride, Grace did an amazing job! I was so grateful to work with her again after the engagement shoot and easily enjoyed the few hours together. Grace was very gentle and put a lot of thought and care into my overall look. I appreciated how Grace always took my feedback into consideration. For example, I was very comfortable speaking with her about when my eyelashes or hair extensions were placed in an uncomfortable position. As always, Grace ensured I was comfortable and happy with the final outcome. I was also soooo thankful that Grace was around during the wedding day since the weather was quite hot. I appreciated how Grace took time to touch up my makeup and hair constantly during the photoshoot. She was so patient and caring and it's a great quality to have as a HMUA. Our bridesmaids as well were quite happy with their hair and makeup looks and the team was very friendly and accomodating. Half the girls got up-dos and the others got half up-half down hairstyles that lasted the entire night! The groom also was satisfied with his look and looked younger than ever Overall, we highly recommend Grace and her team! They were all so professional and sweet! Grace also provided complimentary services throughout the evening that were much appreciated! Thank you again for supporting our entire day from beginning to end! You're the best!! Can't wait to use your services for future events as well

I am so glad I chose Grace as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding day! My friends found Grace…read morefor me because I was looking for someone who really understood asian features and specialized in a natural, skin-forward look. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, and I wanted to feel stress-free and beautiful on my wedding day. I ended up booking a trial and bridal package with her, and also included hair and makeup for my sisters, mom and mother-in-law. Grace and Selina, her assistant artist, created such a peaceful atmosphere for us as we were getting ready. It was an extra bonus that they could speak Chinese with my mom and mother-in-law, so they both felt really comfortable communicating their preferences. They arrived on time to our very remote venue and even finished 15 minutes ahead of schedule! Between the trial and the wedding day, Grace was always warm, professional, communicative, and receptive to my needs. She really listened to all of my feedback and understood my particularities, my dry skin and made all the adjustments I wanted so I would feel 100% happy. I was so happy with the final look and I really felt beautiful all night long-- it even withstood the countless hours of tears and dancing! I highly recommend Grace for any bride looking to feel amazing on her wedding day!

Short version: Maria is THE absolute best. Don't waste anymore of your time researching someone to…read moredo your hair and/or makeup for any big day. She is the sweetest, most talented, and beyond fairly priced person you could ever hope to find. The longer version: I really can't say enough about Maria and her team. She is SO communicative, SO kind, caring, friendly, hard working, and amazing at what she does. She will work relentlessly to make sure that you are happy with her work. I can truly say that I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and it was all thanks to her. I can't count all of the compliments I received and she was honestly one of the best parts of my entire wedding. Stop researching and contact her right now! You can thank me later.

I booked Ann for hair and makeup for my wedding and had a wonderful experience working with her. I…read morehad also booked a trial almost a year before my wedding, and she was very responsive and easy to work with. We communicated via email for booking. We met at her Sunnyvale studio for the trial. She gave lots of helpful tips on what she recommended for my skin tone, skin type, and my hair length, and explained the different products she was using and why she was using them. I really appreciated her attention to detail and that she took her time perfecting the small details. She was also super chill to chat with. I had booked the trial the same day as an engagement photoshoot, and the photos turned out better than I could've imagined! On wedding day, Ann and her assistant arrived to our venue bright and early. I was feeling a little nervous, but the 2 hours with Ann left me feeling super at ease - it was a peaceful session despite how hectic wedding days usually go! I had also noted small changes I wanted from the trial and she was super receptive to my preferences, making sure I felt my best on wedding day. Ann's assistant also did an amazing job with my mom's and MIL's hair and makeup. Ann also gave my mom a tutorial on how to put my veil in my hair, which was very appreciated. I'm so happy I booked Ann for my makeup on one of the happiest days of my life!! She didn't just made me look beautiful; she made me feel beautiful too. I'm still impressed at how good my hair and makeup looked in photos afterwards, even after a night of laughing, crying, and sweaty dancing. Highly recommend booking Ann for your hair and makeup needs!!

I did a trial session with her and had…read moreto reschedule it a couple of times because I was trying to coordinate it with my engagement shoot. She replied graciously every time and eventually we found a date that worked. I wanted a natural makeup style because I rarely wear makeup and she executed it perfectly. I requested two different hairstyles for my trial and day-of and she did both perfectly as well. I highly recommend Ann and her services.

Tiffany and Nicole were very accommodating for my event with hair and makeup…read more Both were done in a timely manner and amazing! My makeup was done how I wanted- instead of a natural nude look, I asked for color and Nicole delivered. Looking forward to working with them again.

I don't like to write negative reviews, but overall, I was somewhat disappointed with Tiffany given…read morehow expensive her service was, transparency and how my hair held up at the wedding. Tiffany really nails the soft-glam look for makeup. It's very flattering but you still look like you. She's a pro for this What bothered me the most is she didn't mention she had a minimum until after she did my trial. It's not on her website and not in the informational email. In order to meet the minimum, we decided to add my mom and MIL into the schedule but this ended up changing our whole timeline for the morning at the last minute and, I had to wake up way earlier than I planned since she said it would take too long to set up at the Airbnb they were at, but OK. I did a trial with her a week before my wedding and the teasing really damaged my hair, I could barely brush it. My hair looked great during the first look, but it really didn't hold, and even by the ceremony it was falling out. Similarly, my MIL also had curls done and I noticed it didn't hold up either. Lastly, she overslept my trial (which she was very apologetic for). She offered a small discount, but I didn't really feel like it compensated for me taking the day off, spending a whole day driving to San Jose, waiting an hour, driving back, and then rescheduling. She was about 15 minutes late arriving to our venue, but it didn't end up setting our schedule back.

I would highly recommend Kelly for anyone's wedding hair and makeup! She has incredible attention…read moreto detail, an eye for what looks good / helps accentutate your features, and also just a calming overall presence that I really valued during the wedding day. She also provided helpful opinions whenever I had questions on what hairstyle or makeup style to go with. After my initial hair and makeup trial I had later decided to make several adjustments, and Kelly handled them all with ease and executed the vision perfectly on the day of the wedding. There truly wasn't anything I would've wanted to change about the look. Kelly was also really helpful and accommodating in answering questions / addressing last minute requests from the bridesmaids and family; she was the best addition to the getting ready experience!

I cannot recommend Kelly enough. From the moment we met, she put me completely at ease and made me…read morefeel like the best version of myself. Beautiful but still natural and true to me. She did my make up for my engagement and wedding day. I got so many compliments on how flawless I looked throughout the day. She and her team also worked magic on my mom, sister in law, mother in law, and bridesmaids. Every single one of them looked radiant and confident. She came highly recommended by my planner Courtney Bailey at Cole Drake. Kelly absolutely did not disappoint. Her attention to detail is incredble, and she has such a calm, professional, and warm presence that made getting ready for my big day such a joy. She made sure my team know how to place my veil and Vietnamese headpiece properly, and she provided touch up kits which were such a lifesaver throughout the day. Kelly and her team were truly a dream to work with!

Ann's transparent pricing and her portfolio of pictures made her an easy choice for my wedding day…read more I have gotten my makeup done by other artists before and I never quite felt like myself at the end of the session, so for my big day I really wanted to find an artist who would help me shine. I highly recommend booking a preview session to try out different looks and hairdos. I thought I was set on one kind of bun for my ceremony but during the preview, Ann did a few buns on me and took pictures for me to think on. I chose a bun look that I didn't even know existed (especially since I'm not a big hair/makeup girly). For the makeup, I went with a softer look because I don't love seeing really big bold red colors on myself. I appreciate that Ann took my preferences into consideration. She also took the time to see how these looks would photograph and adjusted accordingly! We also worked on another hairdo for the reception. On the big day, she brought such a calmness to my getting ready/morning. It's a very long day with very little time to yourself so I highly recommend protecting your morning and starting it off right with someone like Ann. I'm so happy with the looks we had throughout the day.

This showed me that I could trust her with my life. Her attention to detail and understanding make up proved that she is in the right profession. Her work on my bridesmaids also emphasizes her specialty. In addition to the work speaking for itself, Ann is so responsive!!!! Love a business woman who knows how to keep her future brides worry free! 5 big booms for her being a fellow Twice fan!

I had planned my wedding from across the country and she worked with me to truly understand what I wanted and envisioned for my wedding. She also worked within my super limited schedule to do trials the week before my wedding day. I showed her a few ideas off Pinterest (which I liked but did not LOVE) and she was able to create me a custom, unique braided updo that everyone raved about. I felt really beautiful. My makeup was also flawless, and she gave me all of the tools to touch up through the night, though I did not need it because it was so expertly applied. She not only gave me what I asked for, but went above and beyond. I would recommend Rechele to anyone!

I had my hair done by Rechele a few times and I couldn't be happier with my experience with her…read more She has many year of experience doing hair and is very professional. She is patient, intuitive, talented, knowledgeable and the most important, flexible. She won't rest until she gets to what you really asked for. I'm a guest in two weddings this summer and I have already scheduled to get my hair done by her again. Plus, she is very affordable.

I was just married this past weekend, and Annie did my hair and makeup. Now, I've known Annie since…read morewe were in high school, but that's not why I chose her as my hair/makeup artist. I wouldn't just trust anyone to work on me for my wedding day! It's because I've seen her grow from those days in high school where we wore dark lipstick to doing beautiful freelance makeup/hair in New York ;) She does great work, pays careful attention to detail, and loves to educate. If you want to not only look good but also learn a thing or two about makeup, she's the go-to gal. You can tell she's super passionate about beauty, and it helps that she always smells good, too! Also, I usually don't wear any makeup on a daily basis, and I told Annie I wanted to look natural, but enhanced a bit on my wedding day. She listened to my needs/wants and I was able to put all my trust in her. And I'm glad I did!! On the day of the wedding, she was on time and ready to roll. She had everything ready for me and I was done & ready for my pictures right on cue. Everyone at the wedding complimented me on my hair & makeup. I didn't feel like a freakshow, and it (the makeup & hair) felt very comfortable all night long. I still looked like myself, just a better version :) I have no qualms recommending her to any bride or any woman who wants to look good!

Annie and her team were a pleasure to work with. From the make-up/hair trial I had to the day of…read morethe wedding, I knew I would be in good hands. On my wedding day, she and her assistant, Amy, arrived slightly early to set up in our hotel room. They came with all their equipment and supplies in a very professional and organized manner. Without hesitation, they laid out a plan for my three bridesmaids and myself for the next four hours. They worked in tandem in an extremely coordinated manner to produce beautifully finished looks for my four bridesmaids. All three of the bridesmaids were delighted with the finished service; while they each maintained their own unique look, they also made up a cohesive entourage for me. Annie and Amy also managed to keep everyone - including me - in good spirits, calm, relaxed, and like VIPs. ;) I was very pleased with how everything turned out. My make-up was perfect - natural, clean, glowing, and just as I had envisioned it to be. My hair was half up with beautiful curls that lasted all day and into the wee hours of the morning! I had no qualms with anything, and only wished that I could have kept it longer than just one day! She was always open to hearing feedback during the process and was very attentive and thoughtful to the needs of the ladies. She also provided me with a back-up case of lip gloss for touching up throughout the day. I'd highly recommend a trial as well since it was a good chance to get to know Annie more in-depth and in a more relaxed atmosphere. She spends time to get to know you and to understand the look and feel of your wedding. If you are looking for professionalism, quality work that is time-sensitive, down-to-earth personality, easy to work with, and downright amazing talent, then look no further, and book Annie soon!
