    Cathy is undoubtedly one of the kindest souls I have ever encountered! She did an unbelievably amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding. Her team was also sooo amazing for my mom, MIL, grandma, and SIL! Everyone felt so beautiful and we owe it to Cathy & her team. Cathy not only is so talented, she is so knowledgeable and really guided me throughout the whole process. I have truly never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. I am so incredibly grateful to Cathy, and she will be my go to for all makeup and hair needs, for any event!

    I booked Cathy for a hair and make up appointment for my son's graduation. Cathy is the best MUA. She is so easy to work with. She is very friendly and super responsive. Her attention to detail is exceptionally amazing. I have a super round face but her contouring skills has transformed me to enhance my best features and gave me a better jawlines. She is amazing! I will definitely use Cathy's services again for future special events!

    If you are looking for a talented make up artist for your wedding, look no more, Cathy is the right person for you. Cathy is not only amazingly talented but very professional, efficient with booking and with instructions. She listen to what you want and yet make it better than your expectations. She is a kind soul and calm. Believe me, you need someone like her on your wedding day!

    I love her work, make up and hair , she did my hair for wedding like exactly what I wanted .....100% recommend.

    This review is long over due! I booked Cathy last minute for my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary in June, and I'm so glad I did and that she took me in! Cathy is incredibly talented and such a kind person to work with. Her studio is super clean and she is very easy to talk to. My hair and makeup turned out beautifully and exactly like the inspo pictures I showed her, and I received so many compliments throughout the night. I highly recommend her for any occasion!

    Cathy did an amazing job with my hair for my wedding! She is so nice and also so knowledgeable! We met first for the trial so we could discuss the look I was going for and she tried it out on my hair. It turned out so good so I was confident for the wedding day! My hair turned out so well for the wedding.... I received so many compliments! Thank you Cathy! It was great to sit in your chair and see you transform my hair!

    Cathy is truly exceptional! Not only is she a master of her craft, but she's very warm and approachable. It was my first time having my makeup professionally done and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The relaxed environment and Cathy's genuine personality made me feel completely at ease, which I appreciated. She took time to explain every step and I learned so much along the way. It's obvious that Cathy has a passion for what she does and I'm so grateful I found her on Yelp! Thank you, Cathy!!!

    Cathy is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much again Cathy for glamming me up and making me feel like a queen on my wedding day!! I was able to lock in my wedding day many months in advance due to my wedding being on a busy holiday weekend. I have never had hair and makeup professionally done before so it was super nice to feel pampered and being recommended for everything. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup and Cathy made the whole experience so comfortable and easy. I went all out since you only get to have a wedding once! I even added on hair extensions since my hair wasn't long enough and airbrush makeup as well! The trend right now for hair is Hollywood waves. After having a trial (highly recommend!) and providing some feedback after, the final look on my wedding day was so good! I can't wait to come back for future hair and makeup sessions for other special occasions!

    Cathy is amazing! Hands down the best! I contacted her a year before our wedding & we partnered together to create the look of my dreams for both my engagement shoot and wedding day! She is not only professional, but she is so friendly and will make you feel so beautiful! I couldn't recommend her enough!

    I booked Cathy for a hair and makeup appointment for a maternity photoshoot and she did such an amazing job! Great communication starting from the initial inquiry, she sends clear instructions, and a gentle reminder the night before the appointment. She accommodated my photoshoot schedule and did my makeup before the salon opens on Sunday which I very much appreciate. I love that she explains the products as she puts them on my face and was very mindful of the products she uses for pregnant women. I highly recommend her and would use her again for future events. She's the best!

    A long overdue review for Cathy who worked her magic on me for my wedding day in July! Confession: Cathy was not my original choice for a makeup artist on my wedding day. My original one ended up double booking, and her timeline for me didn't make me feel comfortable, so I had to drop her. Cue the frantic messaging on Yelp to find makeup artists who would be available for a wedding in a month. Yikes. Lucky for me, Cathy responded right away and was so empathetic yet professional. She immediately set up a phone call and trial session with me, and I felt SO much better! Cathy can do any look for you, whether it's super glam or minimalistic and natural. I wanted to go towards a more natural makeup look since I've never been a heavy makeup kind of person. Despite this, Cathy made some great suggestions that would give my face that extra bridal pop without overdoing it. She is SO patient, and you can tell that she loves what she does and always has so much fun trying different looks and palettes. I love hearing her little whoops of joy and seeing her happy dances when she sees her final results. Her happiness and pride in her work rub off on you and make you feel like an absolute beauty queen. On our wedding day, Cathy promptly arrived with another makeup artist for 4 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and myself. The two of them made a flawless and efficient pair, and we perfectly stayed on schedule. She also left me with a mini kit for retouching any makeup that might need it throughout the night. Bonus fact: My wedding was completely outdoors in Livermore in 110ºF weather, and Cathy's makeup STAYED. ON. until the last guest left. Now if that isn't quality, I don't know what is.

    I definitely can't curl my hair like this with it staying allll day!!

Not only did my hair come out BEAUTIFUL, but the whole experience honestly made my birthday month so much better Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and really took their time making sure everything blended seamlessly and still kept my hair feeling healthy. Also shoutout to their in-house matcha bar because the Earl Grey matcha made by the owner was sooo good Such a cute touch that made the appointment feel even more special. Definitely recommend booking with them if you're looking for talented stylists who really care about the results and the experience

She delivered the exact purple I always dreamed of and she did it in one session while keeping my hair healthy. I am still shocked every time I look in the mirror. I booked almost two months ahead because I knew she was in demand and it was absolutely worth the wait. My explained everything, made sure my hair stayed strong throughout the entire process, and I was out of the chair before I knew it. On top of being incredibly skilled, she is hilarious and so easy to talk to - time flew by. The whole appointment felt fun and comfortable from start to finish. All the girls in the salon were so easy to talk to and made for such a comfortable environment. My is amazing and the quality of her work speaks for itself. I am obsessed with my hair and My has definitely gained a loyal client (already booked my next appointment)!

Showed her what I wanted...dark roots and balayage. After advising if what she could do (with a whole bunch of animated behavior bragging about her abilities), I walked out after 10hrs (!!) with half done hair. Just bleached, no color/toner. Meanwhile, I had a super important meeting 3 days later that I had to be ready to present at. I looked like a frizzled mess!!! She burnt my hair to a crisp. I begged her for an appt before my meeting, even though she was supposed to finished everything day 1, and she kept me for an additional 7 hours. When I say my hair was burnt, I'm not exaggerating. It's taken over a year to grow my hair out. I never even got what I wanted. She gave my uneven blonde highlights...not the dark roots and balayage that I'd requested. And yes, I took a whole bunch of pictures in. All in, I paid $2K CASH...bc she refuses to take anything else so I assume she doesn't pay taxes. Plus I paid over $500 in treatment products to help heal my hair since. I was embarrassed to leave the house. All I heard from her own mouth was how great she was. I think she's great at extensions but definitely not bleaching dark hair. I had healthy hair going in, she has messed it up so much that my hair is STILL breaking and it's been over a year. Please avoid at all costs. Go to a proper studio. Funny thing is not only does she only take cash, but she INCLUDES her own MANDATORY 20% tip...isn't a tip based on services rendered?? You've been warned.

    Deborah did an amazing job getting the brassiness out of my hair and got it blonder than anyone has…read moreever been able to! I had about 5 appointments with a high end colorist in SF that never got it anywhere close to what I wanted! Everyone told me it wasn't possible but Deborah did it on the first appointment. I've been growing out my natural gray but I still have a lot of brown so I'm mostly trying to go for a cool toned bright blonde/white so it blends more with my roots as they grow out so I can go longer between appointments. I don't want my hair to look like a natural gray, I still want it to have a pop and feel current. Deborah was honest about what would work in our video consultation, as well as with pricing upfront. She also told me how to take care of it moving forward and what is need to do at home to maintain the cool tone. It look a long time (about 7-8 hours) but she is extremely precise and detailed at her work and it clearly shows. Thank you, Deborah!
