Studio MM&B did my makeup (+bridal party, moms, and groom) for my wedding and I cannot recommend them enough! We had a trial session where I met Manning, and she was so warm, chatty, and approachable from the very beginning. The session was lengthy (I think 4 hours?), but it flew by quickly because we were having a nice time. On the actual wedding day, Manning and her team graciously accommodated to the chaos of the situation (I have a toddler at home, and we had just moved to a new house with minimal furniture - and should I mention I accidentally overslept as well??). She also gave my hair the small special touches I didn't know it needed by fashioning a hair piece from some florals I already had at home for my tea ceremony, and also magically produced another beautiful hair piece that would match my bridal dress. She literally saved my hair that day!! My bridal party was very satisfied with their hair & makeup, and everyone's H&M lasted for more than 12 hours on the big day with minimal touch ups. I was given a bridal touch-up kit as well, which was so thoughtful and had everything I needed. I appreciate Manning's detailed makeup and hair technique - she really makes you look like the elevated and best version of you in a very natural way. I'll remember how she patiently added small bunches of fake lashes with artistic care so it looks like I had been blessed with good eyelash genes naturally. That said, if you are into very heavy, dense makeup with giant false lashes that will give the very drastic "before" and "after" look, then this is not for you (but why would you want that for your wedding anyways). Thank you, Manning, so much for making my special day so memorable!! read more

Thank you Studio MM&B ! Studio MM&B provided hair and make up for my wedding to the 5 Bridesmaids, bride, and groom. As a groom, I was skeptical of having my make up done. But I really loved the service provided from Studio MM&B. They provided a very clear schedule that laid out which person would be with each staff member and approximately how much time each person would take. They brought 3 staff to assist with the make up for our wedding party. One was specifically for the bride and groom and the other two staff member were for the bridesmaids. They were extremely friendly and the service provided was excellent. read more

A bride's dream is to look and feel special on her wedding day, but Studio MM&B goes beyond that. Their care and respect for you is what sets them apart. They get to know the bride, her vision, and her story. They invest time in ensuring they achieve your dream look. Not only did I feel gorgeous, the rest of my entourage, including my mother who was very insecure about her facial rashes felt very very beautiful. They were very professional in suggestions and always leave room for your opinions too. It was definitely a match made in heaven! Not only did I get my dream look for my wedding, I got a lifelong relationship with this incredible team! Could not have asked for a better makeup group! If you can, book Manning. She gets filled up right away, but it is so definitely worth it. Manning is the best! P.s. I have really bad skin condition, but Manning did so well read more

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

I was very impressed with the service from Studio MMB--from their courteous, prompt communication to the way they accommodated my preferences and needs (e.g., different hairstyles, arriving early to my house) for my engagement and wedding day photos. Manning was super sweet and attentive during my makeup trial (which I ended up using for me engagement photos) and she made me feel very relaxed and at ease throughout the whole process. I gave her a clear idea of what I wanted/did not want on my wedding day as well as inspiration pics from the studio's instagram. She even gave me helpful suggestions whenever I asked for her advice and provided me with a little hair & makeup touchup kit on the morning of my wedding. My hair stayed in place and my makeup lasted throughout the night without any of the shiny T-zone, raccoon eyes, or unnatural brow problems I was afraid of having so it was definitely worth the splurge to get my HMU done professionally! My friends and family were complimenting the finished look all night :) read more

Highly highly recommend Studio MM&B. Monica did my bridal hair and make up, and Manning did hair and make up for my mom, mother in law and sisters. Everyone was GLOWING! Both Monica and manning are professional, friendly, talented, and quick. Monica was also attentive to detail, listening actively to what I was envisioning and what I liked/disliked. On our big day, she magically appeared whenever I needed her (Lol) to beautify me before any big moments like before the ceremony, before the grand entrance, etc. Further, one of my bridesmaids had accidentally stepped on my dress earlier in the day. The girls had tried to pin the dress back but no matter what it was still hanging down. Monica somehow pinned it up- she's a miracle worker! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Highly recommend Studio MM&B for your big day hair and makeup needs! I had to postpone my wedding twice due to covid and the studio mm&b team was super accommodating and flexible to work with our changes. Manning did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did such an amazing job! She was so detail oriented and really made sure everything was perfect. Not only did she remember the smallest feedback I had given her about my makeup from my trial session but she really went above and beyond to made sure my makeup and hair turned out right/I liked it. She prepped my skin with a face mask to make sure it was extra moisturized. My makeup really look flawless and amazing throughout the night. Really loved working with this super sweet and talented team over at studio mm&b! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Studio mm&b and Quendie! Studio mm&b was recommended to me by a coworker who had recently gotten married. My wedding was in November 2018 and I had booked a trial appointment in February 2018. I know, early. But I'm a planner and I figured, better to get this done sooner rather than later. Their studio is located in Pasadena so it was really convenient for me since I live and work in the area. I got to meet Manning and Monica who are absolutely the sweetest duo you could ever meet. Quendie, who they had paired me with based on my makeup preferences, was amazing. We got along real quickly and she understood what "look" I was going for so easily. After this trial, I had no doubt that I was going to look my best on my wedding day. Fast forward to November, Quendie acted like it was yesterday she did my hair and makeup trial rather than eight months prior. She was super prepared with all the photos that we took during the trial. I was expecting the morning of my wedding day to be nuts, but Quendie and the team made the first few hours go by smoothly which helped calm my nerves. Again, I cannot thank Studio mm&b enough for being super amazing and so talented. The entire team is great and I would hire them again in a second. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

I booked Studio MM&B for my wedding (bride, bridesmaids & mothers) and would choose them again in a heartbeat! Summer was the lead who did my bridal hair & makeup and I absolutely loved her! We got along on a personal level which was great because we spent a good few hours together on the day of. The rest of the team (1 hair & makeup person for the 2 moms, 1 hair stylist and 1 makeup artist for the 5 bridesmaids) was also great, easy to work with, able to achieve the various looks the girls wanted and got through everyone in the allotted time. It just felt like a fun girls pamper day! I would highly recommend doing the hair and makeup trial. It gives you a chance to get to know your lead stylist (don't want to find out on your wedding day you don't get along) and even though we didn't iterate on the look too much as I knew what I wanted going in, it was really fun! I also appreciated that the studio had Asian stylists and customers in their portfolio; 2 of the 4 stylists on our team weren't Asian but I felt confident that because the company was diverse they would know how to work with our skin tone/features. read more

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 :) read more

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! read more

Manning was hands down one of my favorite wedding vendors. She was very detailed and took the time to understand the look that I wanted. I'm super picky and am so glad I found her after a failed trial with a different makeup artist. What truly made Manning stand out is she not only has a precise eye for hair and makeup, but she also went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. She put on relaxing music, chatted with me like an old friend (she's so sweet and genuine!) and explained which products she used whenever I liked something. She also texted me to make sure I was happy with my trial. And on my wedding day, she made sure I was eating and staying hydrated, and even stayed behind to adjust my dress and put on my veil. I was also happy to notice her make an effort to talk to my bridesmaids and mom, even though she didn't do their makeup/hair (seriously, how friendly and cute is that?). I was incredibly happy with how my hair and makeup turned out -- it was exactly the soft, natural and elegant look that I wanted. My updo also looked just like the Pinterest photo that I showed her. Finally, Manning magically made me look awake even though I was too excited to sleep the night before. My makeup stayed on despite the summer heat and even after I teared up during my vows. And since I have sensitive skin, she made sure to use products that wouldn't irritate it. I highly recommend this studio if you're a bride-to-be; you won't be disappointed! read more

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 ;) read more

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). read more

I hired Studio MM&B for bridal hair and makeup as well as for my bridesmaids, mom, aunt, and MIL and we all absolutely loved the work they did. Savannah did my bridal hair and makeup and she knew how to make all of my features look their best and more elevated. She was awesome to work with and always made sure to check in to see what I was comfortable with. We also had Summer, Melissa, and Jamie working on the ladies in the bridal party and they were amazing to work with as well. None of us had ever had professional makeup or hair done and these artists made the process so easy and fun. Highly highly recommend! read more

Manning is an incredible makeup artist. I first found her and her team by searching Yelp to find a makeup artist who did airbrush makeup and had positive reviews. I made an appointment for my wedding trial and wedding makeup and she made me feel as pretty as I think I could possibly feel on my wedding day! I recommend doing the trial so you get an idea on the look you want on your big day - I went in to my trial appointment having no idea what I wanted except that I wanted a more glam look. I basically trusted her on whatever she thinks will look good and she did her magic. She is knowledgeable and strives for perfection in her work. As a client, I cannot ask for anything more. Her sense of fashion and style is just incredible and if you follow Studio mm&b on Instagram you will certainly see what I mean. She also did the hair and makeup for some of my bridesmaids, and again, stunning! I really wish she could do my makeup every day. I highly highly recommend her - trust me you will not be disappointed! read more

This review is a half a year late, but I wanted to give Karen a shout out. Karen was originally recommended by my cousin, Lindsey T. She had nothing but praise for Karen and Studio mm&b, so I made a trial appointment early on (January, wedding in August). I was a bit wary of booking so early, but knew that it would only get more hectic as time went on with the planning. Karen asked about my makeup preferences, tried a few different looks for hair and face and I ended up loving my look and booking them for my wedding day. I had planned a luncheon wedding, so this meant a very early prep time. Karen showed up at 5:30am with coffee in hand and made me look amazing. She also had all the photos of me during the original session and said she thought about some changes and executed them with my approval -- and it made all the difference! The team is fantastic. They are a small shop, but they definitely deserve more exposure! read more

5 stars doesn't do it justice! They deserve all the stars in the night sky! Monica + her team were AMAZING! Monica did my make up for my wedding this past weekend, and I just had to quickly write a review. On the day of the wedding, I woke up really anxious and nervous, but as soon as Monica and her team arrived and got to work, I instantly felt more relaxed. During the make up session, Monica was so gentle, kind and honest. She took her time and was very detailed and skilled at what she does. It seriously puts me at ease and I knew I was in good hands. The rest of her team were so down to earth and awesome, all my bridesmaids loved their work! Especially, my mother - whom is a bit more picky. She loved her make up and hair and the team! - that made me so happy! Studio MM&B is truly a wonderful make up artist vendor. My sister had hired them for her wedding, and I hired them for my wedding... I can't wait to recommend Studio MM&B to everyone else! EVERYONE WHO NEEDS MAKE UP & HAIR NEEDS TO GO WITH STUDIO MM&B!

From my first call with Monica, our connection clicked right away. The communication was great, quick replies, informative and detailed. Most importantly, I love their style of makeup, enhancing your natural beauty to look glamourous. The makeup felt so light, I felt comfortable throughout the whole day (9am-12am)! Can't rave enough about these girls!! 100% recommend them for any of your special event!! read more

Studio mm&b is truly "as good as it gets!" After getting my own hair & makeup done by other well-known wedding makeup professionals for my friends' weddings and having my own specific taste in makeup, I was a picky bride. I came across blog posts featuring Studio mm&b and knew they were talented from the get-go. Though they were not the least expensive h&mu vendor I inquired with, I booked them with no trial. That's how much confidence I had in them! And they certainly did not disappoint. The logistics of my engagement shoot made it impossible for me to travel to Pasadena in time for my shoot, so I had to utilize another makeup artist. But, I made it a point to book a trial with MANNING. She made the process so enjoyable and smooth. She knew exactly the look I was going for (NOT natural please! I want to be done up!) and delivered way beyond I could hope for. You could tell hair & makeup is her labor of love by just watching how she works. I mean, who else would trim EACH single false lash for your undereye?! As soon as I heard the responses from my friends to my trial photos, I knew I had nothing to worry about come wedding day. Studio mm&b was there bright and early (actually earlier than scheduled) on my wedding day and I kid you not - EVERY.SINGLE.BRIDESMAID loved their hair and makeup! Do you know how rare that is?! My girls looked gorgeous and I absolutely loved my own hair & makeup as well. Every bride NEEDS to book Studio mm&b for their special day!!! Seriously - hair & makeup are the last things you want to worry about on your most photographed day. Thank you Manning (aka MAGIC HANDS) for your role in making my special day all the more special!!! read more

Studio mm&b - Trial with Manning! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Studio mm&b was such a great option for hair + makeup for my big day! Especially for those with Asian faces - I highly recommend! I was a bit behind in getting hair + makeup booked and wanted to schedule my trial on the same day as our engagement photo shoot. Studio mm&b were so great about finding me someone and making sure they understood what I was looking for and my overall style before the actual session. They were very flexible with my contract because I was unclear about the space where we would get our hair + makeup done on the big day, and were very responsive when I had the final details ready to share. They were so accommodating on the day of, and they were even nice enough to book someone for my mom who spoke Korean so that she would be as comfortable as possible. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE studio MM&B! All the ladies are so lovely and so talented. I've got my make up done by the senior artist for a photoshoot and I already really like it and when I met artist Manning, I just knew I needed her to do my makeup on the big day. Manning did an exceptional job for my wedding day makeup. She was beyond professional, very detailed, very caring and very friendly. Getting makeup done by her feels like getting ready with my bestie. Right from the start at the trial, she knew right away what I wanted, soft makeup that enhance my features but still looks natural. One thing I worried the most about is my uneven monolid, but Manning took care of it no sweat. Manning made me look and feel beautiful, and most amazing of all is that my make up lasted the whole day! A whole day of tears and sweat under the sun in socal weather and dancing all night, I don't know whats more impressive than this! No single words can describe my joy and gratitude with the ladies at studio MM&B. To all future brides you can totally trust the happiest day of your life with the magic of ladies at studio MM&B. read more

Studio mm&b - Beautiful Manning working her magic. Photo credit: Closer To Love Photography - Makeup Artists Near Me

It takes me quite a while to write a review because I really want to have time to sit down and write a review for Studio mm&b. My wedding was in October 2018 and Manning was my make up artist. I'm working in the beauty industry for many years and I'm one of those beauty addictions, so I'm really picky about choosing a makeup artist for my big day. I asked my friend who has a very nice makeup on her wedding because I really like a glam natural look, and she recommended Manning from Studio mm&b. Studio mm&b team works professionally and Manning was so nice and she did my hair and makeup the way I want it to be. I took the time to do my makeup and pay attention to every little detail on my face. I've got lots of compliment from my friends and family...Thank you so much Manning :) My bridesmaid also happy with their hair and makeup did by Karen...so thank you again for studio mm&b team. Highly recommend Studio mm&b!!! read more

I can tell you that this was the most incredible and professional experience I have ever had with hair and makeup! These ladies are at the top of their game.

I can't recommend them highly enough and to be honest can't wait to use them again for another special event! Thank you from the bottom Of her heart for the attention to detail and for being such a big part of this special and unforgettable day! read more

I would highly recommend Manning as your wedding makeup artist!

I'm not just writing this review to add to their already perfect rating. They have such amazing reviews because Studio mm&b really does an amazing job. It's not just that all of their artists paint every gal's faces beautifully, but also that they are all genuine, kind, and professional! It is really about the whole experience and not just the final product. Even the booking process was great. Pam was so responsive and quick to provide feedback with questions and next steps. Everything from start to finish was smooth and simple. Which is so important for a bride amongst all of the other things going on for a wedding. Karen was my main lady, and I'm sure I did not make it easy for her, but she did a beyond amazing job. Talked me through the changes I was requesting and asked me questions to make sure I was comfortable with the look. I was really happy with the final product. I changed my mind from what we did at the trail a couple weeks (or maybe a week heh) before the wedding and Karen was so accommodating and calm to talk me through the changes to make sure I was comfortable with everything. Thank you Karen!! :) On the day of the wedding, the crew all arrive early/on time and started getting to work with whatever was available in the room. I would have another wedding as an excuse to just to get dolled up by the Studio mm&b team again. I was hesitant at first about doing a trial, thinking that I know Studio mm&b will all do an amazing job no matter what because of all the great things I've heard, but the trial was so necessary for myself. Studio mm&b takes the more consultative approach rather than just asking for what look and feel. They take into consideration your dress, your venue, your decor and colors and bridesmaids dresses and style and season and weather and etc. It was a great learning experience. You can't go wrong with Studio mm&b because they're pros. read more

I'm so glad I chose Manning and her team for my wedding at Casa Del Mar!! I have nothing but positive reviews for this makeup studio! Let's start with the inquiry process, they were fast in response. Monica is friendly, professional and prompt in responding to any questions and concerns. After looking at their works from Instagram and website, I decided to book with Manning! Manning is so talented and BEAUTIFUL!!! She was super pleasant to work with and meticulous with everything she did. Before my trial, I was texting with Manning and I sent her some photos of the makeup style I like, she is very professional and knows exactly what I want and was able to achieve the look during the trial. Most importantly, she was able to figure out exactly what would look best for me while incorporating my own ideas. After the trial, I knew makeup is the last thing I need to worry about on my wedding day. Hair and makeup is something I splurged on for my wedding. For me, this is the most important aspect of my wedding. A good makeup just makes everything perfect. On my big day, Manning, Karen and Summer Rose were punctual. Karen did makeup for three of my bridesmaids and two moms. Summer Rose did hair for them. My bridesmaids and my mom are not the easiest people to please but all were extremely satisfied with their work. My maid of Honor took over 100 selfies and describe her makeup as "MAKEUP THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE FILTER." I showed Manning some hair styles my bridesmaid sent me during trial and she gave some suggestion which made the whole process a lot faster on the day. I loved my wedding hair and makeup and everyone in my bridal party looked amazing. Thank you so much! Manning, Karen and Summer Rose :) I really appreciate the great service from all the staffs and I would definitely recommend Studio mm&b to any friends who get engaged! read more

PICK STUDIO MM&B!!!!!! My friend had Monica as her make up and hair on her wedding day. I love my friend's make up, so I reached out to her when I was picking my make up and hair stylist. Long story short, the best choice! I enjoy my trial session with Manning! She is so fun to hang out with! They came to my wedding preparation on time, so made me less nervous! Everything just went so perfectly! Manning and her team were so patient and detailed. They listened to what we like and enhance our features! I just can't say enough thank you to them! They seriously made all of us so beautiful!!!! Anyways, if you are still debating which make up and hair stylist you want, Studio MM&B can do an awesome job! (Seriously!!!) read more

When contacting potential makeup artists, studio mm&b was the most responsive, answering questions and providing information right away. It made it an easy decision, especially after seeing all their glowing reviews. Manning and her team were amazing, from the initial trial (which I highly recommend investing in!) to the day-of. They created a whole beauty timeline that made sure everyone was on schedule. Manning is such a pro, and all the artists were super accommodating--they based their work on what everyone in our party wanted, but provided their professional opinion when needed. Everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup (even a couple very picky grandmothers!). I loved the little touch-up kit that they gave me, though I didn't need any of it since the makeup stayed in place the whole night, despite some tears during the ceremony. Thank you, studio mm&b! read more

STUDIO MM&B IS AMAZING! Manning did my hair and make-up while other wonderful members of the Studio MM&B team did the hair and make-up for my bridesmaids. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. Manning made me look like the most beautiful version of myself and we had such a fun time getting ready too! I was really impressed with the care and attention that Manning provided. When I did my hair and makeup trial, Manning put together a faux updo look. The day of the wedding, however, my mother was adamant that she wanted a more romantic, lose curls look. Without hesitation or batting an eye, Manning was able to pull it off and my hair turned out looking fabulous. She was able to roll with the suggestions and input my mother gave (more curls! more lipstick!) without being fazed. Overall the experience was stress-free and I honestly could not have had a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding! read more

After looking through photos from numerous hair and makeup studios, studio mm&b caught my eye because I noticed how personalized each hairstyle and makeup design was for the individual. Booking studio mm&b was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I had the privilege of working with Manning - she is a true artist, and the moment she begins her magic you can immediately tell how much pride and passion she has for her work. She is so patient and meticulous, and by the end every part of your hair and face looks perfect and flawless. Her work made me feel so beautiful and confident to enjoy my big day. I cannot wait to recommend Manning and studio mm&b when my friends get engaged! :) read more

Choosing a hair and makeup artist to commit to was one of the toughest decisions I had to make during the wedding planning process. Through meticulous research and consideration, I decided to book Manning from Studio MM&B. It was the best decision and investment I made. Manning and her team far exceeded my high expectation through this whole process. From the moment I booked to the day of the wedding, Studio MM&B exhibited professionalism and impressive quality not only in their client service but also the polished look of their makeup and hair. It was such a joy to work with Manning and her entire team. They were experienced, meticulous, patient, and easy going. They not only made us all look beautiful, they helped us feel beautiful from the inside out. I am in love with the quality of work that Studio MM&B does; all of our makeup look natural and stayed on for nearly 17+ hours. The entire wedding party along with myself and the moms looked like enhanced versions of ourselves. We were all glowing. Thank you so much!! read more

This review is long overdue, but better late than never. I had to plan my OC wedding from Chicago (where I live) and the one thing that stressed me out the most was finding a hair/makeup vendor. I flew to LA for a weekend and booked back-to-back trials. My first trial was with a well-known hair/makeup vendor, but the artist I was assigned didn't listen to anything I said and I hated my trial. It left me feeling worried about my other trials and I almost gave up hope altogether. But as soon as I met Karen and Monica, everything turned around. Before I even met them, Monica sent me a detailed questionnaire asking for my social media handles, everyday hair/makeup preferences, and my ideal beauty/fashion celebrities. So by the time I met with Karen (my talented and lovely HMU artist), she already knew my preferences. She went way back into my Instagram and Pinterest profiles to analyze my everyday style, which helped establish a foundation for our conversation about what I was looking for. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated that. Karen did an amazing job during my trial, and Monica came at the end of my appointment to review the overall look with Karen. They went over every detail, and by the time I left, I felt so relieved that I cancelled my other trials and booked with Studio MM&B. On the day of the wedding, all of the other HMU artists that arrived with Karen were so attentive and professional. Each member of my bridal party, from my junior bridesmaid, all the way up to my mother and mother-in-law, felt and looked beautiful. Everyone's hair and makeup not only looked flawless, but also lasted all night. I highly recommend Studio MM&B to any bride. Just do yourself a favor and book them now! A great big thank you to Karen, Monica, and the rest of the Studio MM&B for giving me and my bridal party picture-perfect looks! read more
