Ok, so I've never actually written a review for anything in my entire life, but this woman…read moreseriously deserves one. I've had acne for as long as I can remember, but it was never bad enough to stress about until I started picking my zits. When I'd finally realized I needed to jump-start my skin I booked an appointment with Sheila (who I'd heard from Yelp! was pretty amazing) and went in having never had a facial before. She made me feel SO comfortable from the moment I walked in, and talked me through every step of her facial routine. She turned my 30 minute facial into an hour class on how to heal and improve my skin, while working her magic the entire time; she even gave me sample products and a new skin-care regimen to follow! It was a fantastic first facial experience, and I'm stoked to see how her ideas will help improve my skin. Sheila knows exactly what's she talking about, and is so genuinely kind and caring about other people. I would recommend her to any and everyone!

I have also bought a few products and they are amazing! The hydration feels like a cool spring dancing tickling on my cheeks.

I can't wait for you to have your own wonderful experience!

Hiring Shawna for my June 2024 wedding hair and make-up was one of the best wedding planning…read moredecisions I made! Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

I got so many incredible compliments on the work that Nikki did and I literally can't imagine having any one else there with me doing my hair or makeup. She's one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone! I have to add, Nikki was incredible with the way she communicated with us.

I got so many compliments those 3 weeks. Not that I do it for the compliments, but you know, it's nice. Colie is sweet, fast, and gentle. Sometimes I feel like she's my therapist! Haha!

You can truly tell she takes pride in what she does and genuinely cares about her clients.

I have never felt more beautiful and my daughter was absolutely stunning . I received so many compliments; it really boosted my self confidence as an older mother of the bride (I am in my late 60s).

One major request was I wanted the CEO/ Owner of Blossom and Beauty to do my hair and make up for my wedding day. She reached out and she said of course she would. You know when you speak to someone for the first time and just know that they have good energy/vibes? Well that was my first impression of Jasmin. I instantly knew I wanted her and her team to be our make up/ hair team for my wedding day. I felt like their prices were very reasonable! Their studio is so clean and nice. Jasmin listened to all my concerns and I provided her with Pinterest pictures at my make up trial appointment. I was also running 10 mins behind because I was lost trying to find the studio. (I'm bad at directions lol) and she was very understanding about it. Another reason why I gave them a 15/10 because I had originally messed up on the amount of girls getting their hair done. They were able to accommodate my bridesmaid to get her hair done because they had finished earlier than expected. I was so thankful that they were able to fix MY mistake. Now onto the quality of work. Jasmin and Shelby did such amazing work for my bridesmaids and I. The way she did my wedding hair was different than the trial and to be honest I loved it even more! That's when I knew she was an expert at this! My make up was so flawless. My bridesmaids were also happy with their hair and make up. From my experience, they are the best of the best in Portland! Book with them and you will be happy that you did!

They have ALL the skills and dedication to make you look and feel beautiful. I was looking for a really natural makeup look, and an updo with lots of texture. I was definitely nervous about the makeup piece since I basically don't wear much more than mascara, but Anny nailed it - I felt weightless and beautiful and most of all like MYSELF the entire day. My hair was a work of art as well - I hope Andy is proud of what he created because I LOVED it. I have to also mention that the two of them have a great dynamic - they work very smoothly together and definitely made me feel at ease, and when my wedding day arrived they were just the calming presence I needed. Could not have wished for more.

I don't own or wear make-up, so for events, I have to go get it done. Oh, and I've had it DONE! Even with the compliments, I hated it because I didn't look like myself. It felt foreign and I would often feel quite uncomfortable. For my elopement ceremony last summer, I wanted to look like myself, except with better skin. I wanted to be comfortable with myself. Anny's portfolio was appealing to me, because it had a variety of looks, including the "natural look", the one I wanted. We had a super intimate ceremony over brunch. The venue was great, but didn't give us a lot of extra time to prepare. Anny and Andy came through! With Anny on make-up and Andy on hair, they made my mother and I feel beautiful and natural, and they did it in record time. I was comfortable the entire day. And yes, I felt pretty on my wedding day.

I loved her philosophy - which is to make her clients look like the best version of themselves, as opposed to caking on makeup in a way a bride would probably regret - and thought she executed it perfectly. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and thought my makeup looked 100 in the wedding photos. Equally important, she made me feel totally at ease both times we worked together, was very open to feedback, and was just plain fun to hang out with. For brides who aren't getting married in SF proper, Meaganne is willing to travel, which was super helpful. My wedding was in Los Gatos, and Meaganne didn't bat an eye making the hour+ drive, and navigating her way to our off-the-beaten-path venue. I think she may charge a small fee if she needs to travel more than a certain number of miles, but it was nominal and on par with what other makeup artists charge. I highly recommend Meaganne for your hair and makeup needs!

But Meaganne knew exactly what to do to make me feel natural, confident, and ready to get married! She makes you feel and look like yourself and not some made up version of a typical bride. When I found out she also did hair, I gave her a try and loved every style she tested on me...it was honestly hard to choose! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and have since given her name to several people. Her prices are incredibly reasonable (far cheaper than the other trials I had), especially considering her level of talent. Not only is Meaganne incredibly talented, but she's a wonderful person to work with. She's kind, patient, and just an all around genuine, amazing person. You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, so I feel it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Meaganne.
