Glam My Face By Sara

  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $1,245
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Welcome. Whether it's your big day or a special occasion, I want you to be comfortable. Whether its subtly enhancing your features for a more natural look or an eclectic colorful style, my experience will help you look and feel your best! My experience with a variety of Skin Tones, Skin Types, Facial Features, Ages, Ethnic Backgrounds, and Customs has allowed me to achieve a wide range of desired looks, precision, and detail. Making you happy is my Number 1 Priority.

Sara did my makeup for my sister in laws wedding. I don't wear makeup often and she took all my concerns into account because I wanted a subtle glam. During the process she makes you feel relaxed and even though I knew she had 3 other people to work on I didn't feel like she was rushing, it felt like I was the only one. To say I felt beautiful in an understatement. I felt like no one could tell me anything! Even my husband who "prefers natural" had his breath taken away. It lasted through the wedding and dancing all night!

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Team of 5
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

LA Hair and Makeup did a PHENOMENAL job with my wedding hair and makeup! Ashanta (the owner) is so kind, professional, brilliant, and talented. She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly. I wanted my own hair and makeup look to be sort of vintage-inspired and natural, and I truly could not have been happier with how my bridal hair and makeup turned out— Ashanta is a genius!!

Nikki offers her services on-site at venues in Riverside County, Orange County, and San Diego County. Her specialty is in soft glam with a touch of glamour! If you are wanting a snatched makeup look for your wedding day. She’s the artist for you!

I hired Nikki for my wedding last November of 2024.From the moment we started, she made me feel so comfortable and confident. She truly listened to what I wanted and created the perfect look that was flawless all day long. During our trial, I showed Nikki several photos of makeup looks I wanted to try. I truly appreciated her patience, especially since I don’t know much about makeup. She took the time to explain that many of the photos featured heavier makeup that might look different in person. Instead of just recreating a look, she asked me what I liked about each one and used that to design a look tailored to me. The day of we did make some changes but I am glad I trusted the process. We also talked about skincare leading up to my wedding, and she recommended some amazing hydrating products to help my skin look its best. Nikki’s attention to detail is unmatched.Her professionalism and calm demeanor made the entire experience stress-free, which is so important on such a big day.I received endless compliments from my guests and felt so beautiful in every photo. Thank you, Nikki, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride! You truly have a gift, and I’m so grateful I got to work with you. God Bless you!

    Hi, I am Jen. She/Her and queer. I am the owner and lead stylist/artist for Jen Plus Colour. I see beauty differently. There is no one-size-fits-all formula. No two people that sit in my chair are the same. No two stories are alike. I LOVE stories. I love hearing them and telling them. When we meet, I guarantee that we'll laugh, learn and sometimes even cry. My ultimate goal is that you will trust me with more than just your hair and makeup. Now a little business info: I do about 50 weddings a year. I have a team of super rad pros that I call on when I need help with larger wedding parties.

    Tress N Glow was a great service provider for my wedding! They matched me with a makeup artist, Sumayyah, that was able to give me exactly the look I wanted (Indian bridal meets Sabrina Carpenter). I’ve never felt more beautiful! I did an in-home trial so we could fine tune the look as I don’t know much about makeup. I strongly recommend the trail because it made the day-of run so much more smoothly! Sumayyah came to our venue and knew exactly what I wanted, and even helped my mom, sister, and I get into our elaborate dresses. I loved working with her!

    Claudia is a rockstar that made me look and feel like a princess. I had the pleasure of having her as my hair and makeup artist for my three-day wedding at the Taj Cidade de Goa in February '24 as well as an engagement shoot in October '23. It was such a wonderful experience. If I could give her 6 stars, I would! Claudia is a true standout. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but she's also extremely warm and personable. I typically don't fuss over hair and makeup, but Claudia knew exactly what to do and made the entire experience not only comfortable but truly enjoyable. Both in the months leading up to the wedding and throughout the weekend, Claudia's communication was impeccable. She knew exactly the right questions to ask to ensure that she captured my vision. And she succeeded. The quality of Claudia's work is exceptional. From her hair designs to flawless makeup, she exceeded all of my expectations. But what really set Claudia apart is her organization and attention to detail. Despite the tight timing of multiple events with multiple looks/outfit changes, Claudia had everything under control. She worked closely with the wedding team and set expectations with both them and me to make sure we were on time and on schedule without ever feeling rushed or stressed. Overall, working with Claudia was a fantastic experience. I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for a talented, personable, and organized hair and makeup artist who will make you feel like royalty, look no further than Claudia. Thank you, Claudia, for making me feel so beautiful and confident throughout my wedding weekend. You are a superstar!

    • Serves Palm Desert, CA

    I am a hair and makeup artist and have been working in the wedding industry for 14 years. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with and making a bride feel extra special on their big day. I live in Temecula Ca and am willing to travel. I am a mother of two boys and am married to the love of my life.

    Elizabeth made everything so easy for my wedding. I couldn't decide what to do with my hair, so she suggested a bunch of styles for me to pick from. I absolutely LOVED my hair, and she did the cutest styles on my bridesmaids. I had one bridesmaid that did her own hair and ended up not liking what she had done herself, so Elizabeth quicky changed gears and was able to help re-style her hair on the spot. At the end of a very hot day, and a very long night of dancing, my hair still looks amazing in the last photo I took. I've since referred Elizabeth for other weddings, so she has done more styles for me and also my make-up which turned out perfect. I've loved it every time! Elizabeth is so sweet and funny, I would recommend her to anyone!

    Welcome. I have been doing makeup professionally for eight years now. I worked for MAC Cosmetics as a makeup artist and as a manager. I have done hundreds of Weddings, Senior Portraits, Boudoir, Engagement, Maternity, and Editorial Shoots. I am very familiar with photography makeup and use products that look great on camera and are long-lasting. In addition to photography makeup, I also do special event makeup, such as Halloween, or if you just want to look hot for a night out on the town.

    I would definitely recommend Raymie to any bride looking for a timeless soft glam look. She listened to what I said to a tee and nailed my inspo photos. My mom and bridesmaids also got their hair & makeup done by Raymie's team and had nothing but good things to say about their work. We all felt so pretty the entire night and the makeup stayed on despite crying a few times. We loved working with Raymie and would definitely work with her and her team again 3

    We take our job very seriously! In fact, did you know that Blush is not only a team made up of professionally trained bridal hair and makeup artists but we are also a team who ONLY does weddings. We each do this full time. This also means that we don’t out source our artists, so you’ll never have someone who is randomly hired to help on a wedding, assist or use an associate from a makeup counter (ie: MAC/ Sephora ect.). All of our artists ONLY work for Blush.

    I recently got married and Melissa did my hair and makeup and WOW I've never felt more beautiful!! She totally understood the assignment from just showing her just 2-3 photos. I didn't even do a trial and felt so confident in seeing her work on social media and was blown away by the results! I got so many compliments from my guests and felt amazing. My hair and makeup did not MOVE all day and night!!
