    Trial makeup :)
    Jessica K.

    A hundred stars. Everything. Monica really made my wedding. I can't express enough how confident and beautiful and wonderful she made me feel. She made me so happy and was so comforting and supportive and I recommend her for any event you are needing make up for. Trial for the wedding make up is a necessity! I was sooo sure I wanted my hair a certain way but after the trial I realized I wanted it a little looser. And she knocked it out of the park on my wedding day thanks to my trial. But I didn't change any of my make up because she did it so perfectly - but it gave Monica time to learn my face so she was able to make it even better the second time! I really felt like a princess both times and couldn't stop snapping selfies!!! And the most important thing: thanks to her perfect work the week leading up to the wedding I stopped worrying about any imperfections on my face because I just KNEW Monica would make me look beautiful anyway. Thank you Monica again and again for all you did. You are so wonderful and such an awesome person. I really felt so beautiful thanks to you and smiled SO widely throughout my wedding. Oh and she also did my husbands make up!!! She groomed his eyebrows and put foundation on him and he LOVED how he looked. He really felt handsome the WHOLE day. Monica THANK YOU A HUNDRED TIMES!!!! I will def add wedding pics once we get some good ones!!! M

    Hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and me. In all honesty I was a little nervous after the trial but I figured out exactly what I wanted bc of it. I tried to specify what I liked and didn't like and she took in all of my considerations. So when my wedding came around, Karen did amazing!! I looked exactly the way I hoped to. It did take being very honest and actually removing some things that I didn't feel were my style. I'm glad I did though. Some of my bridesmaids' hair were really great and a couple of them were so-so; makeup was pretty good across the board. Overall, very happy with Studio MM&B. Really glad I went with them.

    Karen from Studio MM&B did my bridal hair & makeup and Savannah worked on the mothers & my MOH (we had to use another studio for the rest of our bridesmaids due to scheduling issues). They did an AMAZING job!! For me especially, Karen gave me the perfect amount of glam and I felt so comfortable and beautiful throughout the day/night. They were both so attentive and fun to get ready with! I also did a trial session with Karen two months before and that took so much stress off the big day, knowing just how amazing the look was going to be upfront!! Don't skip out on this! Highly recommend Studio MM&B, especially if you/your bridal party is Asian as they know how to work well with our skin tones & hair!

    I chose Studio mm&b for hair and makeup for my wedding day. Karen and her team were easy to work with. My wedding was on August 31st, 2019, and I did my makeup trial with Karen in February. During the trial, I did not know exactly how I wanted to look for my wedding, so I showed pictures of inspiration, and Karen had a good idea of what I was going for. She tried two different hairstyles on me and went with a natural makeup look (since I don't usually wear heavy makeup). I scheduled the trial on the same day of my engagement shoot, and it worked out perfectly. Fast forward to August, Karen and her team arrived on time to our getting ready location. All of my bridesmaids also got their makeup and hair done by their team, and they all looked gorgeous. I wanted to change the hairstyle that I picked from the trial for my wedding, and Karen had no problem with that. Makeup and hair was on point! My wedding wasn't going to be until later in the day at like 6pm AND to add to that, it was a summer wedding so it was pretty hot during the day. We were running around during the day getting our pictures taken, and I was afraid that my makeup would melt in the heat, and my hair would be messed up. I didn't get the touch up kit for the night, but my makeup and hair still looked great by the end of the night!! Overall, Karen and her team did an amazing job on makeup/hair for me and my bridesmaids. I would definitely recommend them as your hair/makeup artist! Thank you Studio mm&b!!

    We were so happy to work with Studio MMB's Monica and Manning. They work so well with each other, and have really great eyes for what works for you and your style - it's a completely personalized experience. As two brides, we have to have looks that are on par with each other, yet reflect our personalities and personal styles. They consulted with each other, asked us a lot of questions, and we really feel like each stylist got to know each of us personally, and absolutely delivered! On top of that, our bridesmaid's looks were also perfect - they were able to reflect what we brought in as reference photos 100%. We highly recommend Studio MMB - they are absolute professionals, and amazing people.

    Karen did Christine's hair & I LOVED how she did it! It was an intricate pony tail! :)

    I've worked with Monica & Manning both on a professional level as well as a personal level now, being a wedding photographer! I came across their work when they did the makeup of one of my brides! I LOVED how well executed her makeup was both in person and in photographs and I loved how friendly and just welcoming they are! I knew that they were who I wanted to do my makeup after working with them the first time! Monica had done my bride's makeup, and on my own wedding day and for my engagement session trial, Manning was the one who did it! I can say nothing but good words for them both! While they aren't necessarily the "cheapest" end of the wedding makeup & hair realm, it's for good reason--you're definitely paying for quality and the experience. When you work with Monica, Maning and their team, you can tell it's a refined CRAFT and service of LOVE. They treat you with so much respect and care, and it shows in their work! They listen to your needs & concerns and are so great at making you FEEL beautiful. And again, it photographs really well, which is a huge plus, since honestly, you're going to be taking a LOT of photographs (whether professionally taken or by a friend)! ;) A huge shoutout to Karen, Elaine & Quendie, too! They all did an amazing job on my bridesmaids hair & makeup and on my mother & mother-in-law! I know Monica & Manning are very particular with making sure their associate artists are also on par with their branding & expertise & it shows! :) If you're thinking about hiring them, DO IT. Seriously. It's an amazing investment & you won't regret it! Love them!! EDIT // I forgot to mention that I'm incredibly picky with my hair & makeup. :( Mainly because I have had terrrible experiences in the past and I've basically given up on straying much past my "every day look"! They were both SO encouraging when I visited for my trial, and they really made sure to pay attention to how I felt I looked personally, which I really appreciated! Also, my hair is CRAZY thick & long and it takes forever to do, and I super appreciate the patience Manning took to do it! It usually always dies by the end of the day, but it stayed curled beyond 12 hours of it being done! Magic!! My husband also got some coverage on his face since he has a couple scars & had a little breakout before the wedding! They made it look so natural! Guys, don't be ashamed to get it done! No one could really tell he was wearing any and it made his face look so clear in photos!

    Engagement photo shoot hair and makeup
    Juliet K.

    Monica and her team were amazing! She helped me with my hair and makeup for my engagement photo shoot and my wedding and did a fantastic job. She made me look beautiful but natural. She asked me throughout if I wanted any adjustments / preferences and listened to my overall vision. I would highly recommend her! Note: She has a small studio but she will also travel to the venue.

    Tanya T.

    Emilie was absolutely wonderful to work with. She really took the time to discuss the look I was going for and made adjustment with all my requests. Emilie arrived on time for my wedding day and was able to finish early and stayed for some touch up. My hair and makeup also stayed ALL day/night long! Amazing work! I would highly recommend Studio mm&b to any bride :)

    Bridal party with hair and makeup!
    Tasha L.

    I was nervous about getting my hair and makeup done for our wedding and for our bridal party, as I don't wear makeup daily and had never had it done professionally. Studio MM+B came highly recommended by our wedding planner, who remarked that even the pickiest brides were never disappointed with their work! Manning did my hair/makeup for my engagement photo session, trial, and wedding! While she is absolutely talented and artistic, it was her kindness and patience that really made the experience so positive! I'm incredibly shy and self-conscious and had difficulty expressing how I wanted to look, but she was so reassuring and made sure that I was happy with how I looked! As she tried to read my mind, we made adjustments from the engagement session and trial to the wedding day, including her advice on how to take care of my skin and have my hair cut with some more layers. She completely nailed it, and everything came out perfect! I looked like myself, but more beautiful and fresh than I had ever looked (which is exactly what I wanted!), and it lasted all throughout the night! Karen, Summer Rose, and Emilie did the hair and makeup for my four bridesmaids and our two moms as well! They arrived in the morning with coffee and were able to work within our space and timeframe! One of my bridesmaids remarked that her hair/makeup was better than her own on her wedding day, and my mom absolutely loved hers! I would highly recommend Studio MM+B to anyone :)

    As a bride who had no wedding planner and was in the midst of moving to a different city, I was swarmed with other obligations and procrastinated into looking for a make up artist. I don't think anyone understands how time consuming and tedious it could be to find the right vendor until they have experienced it for themselves. There are countless of wedding vendors available and the vast selection was overwhelming. I am extremely glad that I chose Studio mm&b to be a part of my big day! My experience was nothing short of amazing from beginning to end. I was looking into about ten vendors for my make up and what attracted me the most was the fact that they had an attractive professional website that included bios, reviews, pricing and so on. I appreciated all the personal touches and details that differentiated them for all the other vendors. Studio mm&b also responded to me within 24hours of my inquiry and answered all of my questions and more. They even sent me a questionnaire (again, details that made me love them even more)! The connection that I had with Studio mm&b was instant from the first communication that we had. I booked them confidently even before I had my makeup trial. I was truly lucky to have Manning as my makeup artist. Manning really took the time to understand my vision---my concerns, likes and dislikes. I trusted Manning's work and skills from the very beginning. So all I did was show her a picture of what I had in mine for my hair and makeup and I let her work her magic. On my wedding day, Manning arrived early. She was extremely patient and understanding even though the hotel did not have the room ready when it should. I was really glad that Manning was with me on my wedding day. I felt as though I had another friend there with me. She kept me calm and offered to help when she could. Not only is Manning beautiful, she is also genuine, caring, kind and extremely talented. I do not think that words can truly justify how incredible I think she is! My makeup was everything I had hoped for and more. It was very natural and elegant. She really accentuated and highlighted my features without overdoing it. She is a true artist! My make up lasted all day and night. Needless to say, she completely exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier! The team also made all of my bridesmaids look beautiful! We all had such a great time getting ready together and I could not picture having anyone else at the wedding. My only wish is that they are based in Northern California because I would definitely be working with them again in the future. I believe that I have not only found my makeup artist but I have also found a friend in Manning as well. Thank you Studio mm&b for making my bridesmaids and I look gorgeous! I would definitely recommend Studio mm&b for any future brides!

    The perfect hair and make up for my special day
    Audrey L.

    Omg where can I even begin? Monica was, and still is, a complete sweetheart! She made me feel like a princess during the trial and the day of. They also made my bridesmaids look so good with their hair and make up! Monica treated me like an old friend and made me feel so comfortable. The makeup lasted the entire day! My make up went on at 10 , my event went on until 12AM, and it still looked good no touch up needed. She also made my uneven eyebrows look even! She knew exactly what I wanted in terms of my hair when I mentioned a romantic up do. I will be more than happy to book them again for another event. Oh! And they did my groom's hair and make up and he looked good as well ;)

    Beautiful job on my bridesmaids hair and makeup!
    Margaret L.

    I am in absolute awe and admiration of Manning and Monica! Monica and her assistants did an amazing job on my bridesmaids, mother-in-law and mommy. My girls looked fantastic during my wedding. They looked like their natural selves but enhanced. She was able to magnify their natural beauty without being heavy handed with the makeup. Monica was even able to corral my mother (who hates wearing makeup) into a chair and work her magic. My mother looked beautiful and despite her protests was pretty happy with the results. Manning did an incredible job on my makeup and hair. I knew I was in good hands when I met her for my trial. She was super friendly and funny and totally made me feel at ease. Like my mom, I also don't wear makeup on a regular basis so maintaining a fresh and clean look was very important to me, but I also wanted to look stunning for my big day. Manning was able to achieve that effortlessly. Even though there was a good amount of makeup on my face, I still felt like I looked like myself... just a much more glamorous and beautiful version of myself. I will definitely be coming back to Studio mm&b for all of my future beautification needs!!! These girls are incredible. Not only are they talented, but they are just an awesome group to hang out with and get to know. I had so much fun getting ready for my wedding and will treasure the time spent with them. Brides - make sure you opt for airbrushing, it makes a huge difference and really helps the makeup last all day and night. My wedding was HOT but my face looked flawless throughout the entire event (even after bursting into tears after seeing my grandfather cry).

But when he asked me what hair cut I wanted and showed him a picture of a burst fade Mohawk and he proceeded to ask have you had this haircut before. Then I showed him a picture of me with the haircut I wanted (which was a burst fade Mohawk) and he proceeded to say "is that really you". This was at the beginning of the hair cut. Mid way he asked a second time if I had ever had this hair cut before which I answered yes. Also at the beginning he had mentioned how much are we taking off the top. I mentioned just a little bit and we can work our way down. When it came to cutting the top I feel he had gone too low. At that point I just wanted to get out of the chair. I waited 2 days to post this just to see if my hair needed to settle in since I went from a wild lions mane to what ever this short hair cut I have now. But no matter how much I attempt to style my hair it just looks dumb. My feedback to Hin is if you aren't confident in cutting someone's hair then please just say so. Or if your specialty is clean cuts then tell your client so they can make the decision of sitting in the chair. I may come back to try with someone else to cut my hair since I feel the people here have some skill.

An establishment like this that truly gives you high quality results for such a generous price deserves to be met with gratitude and good tips. Too many salons are charging an arm and a leg for a basic trim these days, and Hair Craft is not one of them. There were only 1-2 stylists working during my visit, so please be patient and make sure to book at least three weeks in advance. When I booked, they were already scheduled out for three weeks, and I overheard them telling other callers the same thing. Thankfully, it was absolutely worth the wait. I can't wait to come back and will definitely be booking with Yuji again. Thank you Hair Craft for such a wonderful experience!!!

    Daniel is absolutely amazing! Not only is he an absolute sweetheart and an awesome person all…read morearound but he also truly takes the time to put his focus and care into each one of his clients. It was my very first time with The Hideout Salon and not only was he understanding of any scheduling rearrangements we had to make, he also made sure to make it a point that we would be setting enough time aside for what we would anticipate needing so that when the time came, there would be zero rush along with top quality service which makes a huge difference in customer experience compared to factory booking which sacrifices quality, time, and attentiveness for squeezing in numbers, and as clients we all greatly appreciate this! While I was waiting Allie was very sweet and settled me in/welcomed me and offered me something to drink. The decor of the place felt very cozy and cute. If youre a dog lover you'll also be very happy to probably see a friendly cute Lil doggo named Carl (Karl?) comfortably shimmying his way around the shop (and if youre scared of dogs dont worry, he really just does his own thing Lol). Hes So darn cute and floofy. I came in for both a color and a consultation for a potential cut. Because I sometimes tend to notice/look at details that others may want to gloss over or perceive as me overanalyzing, it felt really difficult for me to explain to others how my recent haircut from another place just a month or two ago had specific lengths and cuts in specific areas going around my whole hair that had left my previous haircut feeling kind of "off" in certain ways and that I felt was giving my hair the very slight illusion of looking shorter than it actually really was and a little "choppy" in some areas, which then had an effect on how it framed my face/widened it instead of helping elongate it. But when I explained it to Daniel, he totally got it and even held up the individual sections that he agreed were causing those effects, why it was creating the effect that it was and how we would resolve it. I was so happy that he not only truly acknowledges and makes it important to understand where his clients are coming from (whether its concerns or goals etc) but that he also has such skill and knowledge to be able to fully do so and hit the nails right on the head. The color was also beautiful as well and because I wanted something that was healthier than permanent that would also give my hair a healthier appearance (ie shine, softness, gloss etc) he recommended the demi and also mentioned that it would make it easier down the road for me to go lighter if I ever wanted to. The color blended and matched so well with the rest of my hair and everything from the cut to the color made me feel like all of my goals were achieved. Everything Daniel did with my hair left me feeling so *Bonita*, and he was just such a joy to work with and an awesome person all around. Thank you Daniel for this lovely experience :) -------------------------------- Parking: Since the salon is in the heart of Downtown, its best to try and arrive a bit earlier than your appointment time and to be prepared for alot of one way streets and quickly turning into the available open public parking lots closeby before passing the salon (to avoid having to go further down in a circle to get back to the parking again). I believe there are 2 or 3 lots before you pull up to the salon that have big signs that say public parking. If youre driving towards the direction of the salon, out of the 3 the first one youll pass is just self-service/pay which was the one I parked in, and the other two have attendants as you pull up to the salon. Im not sure if both of those allow open access to all, so i will find out the next time I go again :) The front of the salon itself can be very easy to miss so just make sure to park before you even pass it on your GPS and youll see a small little sign over a door that says the Hideout salon when you walk up. There will be a door code for you to enter so just ask the salon for the door code in advance so that youre all set to go when you get there as well :)

    Venue: The Hideout is hugely deceptive from the outside, the…read moremoment I walked through the door I was genuinely shocked by how large and beautiful the space is. It's a gorgeous setting and the entire team is incredibly warm and welcoming. Service: Daniel Apodaca is an exceptional talent. I went in for a brunette colour correction that took almost five hours, and every single minute was worth it. I trusted his judgement, his suggestions, and his overall vision for my hair, and I'm so glad I did. This is the first time in my life I've walked out of a hair appointment with my expectations truly exceeded. I left The Hideout completely blown away by the results and didn't feel the need to tweak, adjust, or "fix" anything afterward, which is rare. Even the blow-dry/silk press combo lasted a full week. Daniel is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely lovely to spend time with. I've absolutely found my stylist and will 100% be back.
