Nicole is AMAZING! She is so friendly and made me extremely comfortable. With me not being one to normally wear makeup, I was expecting to feel like I had a mask on; boy was I wrong. She suggested that I do a trial and I was able to also schedule our engagement shoot for the same day. The makeup was remarkable, it had that dewy look which looked good, but I learned it wasn’t my style. Then for the wedding she made the necessary adjustments and viola…perfection! She did the makeup for my entire bridal party, planned it so that everything was on time. It was really sweet how she left me with a little kit to powder my face if I needed it. My makeup lasted all day and night, and it looked and felt natural. I will use her again for other events and I highly recommend you book her as well.

Rose Rosales - Makeup Artist

ALOHA!! Rose Rosales is a professional makeup artist based in Northern California, serving the Bay Area (San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma & Napa) Rose has over 15 years of experience in the beauty industry and specializes in bridal, photo shoots (boudoir, engagement, maternity, fashion) & special occasions.

Rose did my wedding makeup and the makeup for my bridesmaids and mother, and she knocked it out of the park! Her initial questionnaire allowed me to give detailed input into what I was looking for, and after the trial, Rose was incredibly responsive to my feedback, creating the exact soft glam look I was going for on my wedding day. Plus, the makeup lasted all day, from our initial photos at 12:30pm all the way through the end of dancing at 11pm, weathering plenty of tears and lots of sweat from an intense heat wave! My makeup looked great in pictures and also in person, and I still looked like myself. She did a wonderful job with all my bridesmaids and my mom, as well, listening to their preferences and creating stunning looks on a variety of skin tones and types. Rose definitely knows what she's doing, and I would recommend her to anyone!

Amy Lawson Makeup & Hair 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $500

Amy Lawson is a San Francisco based professional makeup & hair artist with over two decades of experience. She has provided her services to brides from intimate City Hall weddings to lavish destination weddings. Amy has travelled across the globe from Las Vegas to Thailand, to create stunning looks for her clients. Her work has been featured in numerous wedding publications. She has worked on celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Ali Wong, as well as events like the Golden Globe Awards. Her many years of experience and expertise make her a valuable asset to any special event!

Amy is the beauty professional I most admire working with, from set-up to beauty session to take-down. I have been a hair and makeup artist in the wedding and film industry for fifteen years. She is an artist keen to bring out her clients' natural beauty with flawless finishes. You won't know you are wearing makeup, and everyone will notice how incredible you look. She uses light touches to enhance your look but can replicate more dramatic looks. Tell Amy what you desire, and she will make that look work for you. In addition to her talents, it is a pleasure to work with Amy. She is well-organized, respectful, empathetic, on-time, and she will put you and your group at ease. I love that she brings her fabulously curated cosmetics of the best brands that will last all day (she's tried them all), which are impeccably clean. Every time I have worked with Amy at a wedding or on a film set, she brings the strongest talent in the industry with her. My favorite memory of working with Amy was styling a bridal party in Napa, California. It was a large group of women from Texas who savored their breakfast tacos while we styled them. Amy's five hand-picked artists transformed each bridesmaid and the bride from bedheads and tired eyes from a party the night before into stunning ladies who looked like they slept well. One bridesmaid left the hotel suite where everyone's hair and makeup were being done right after we showed her the finished look. When the bride asked, 'Where did you go?,' she replied, 'I never looked so good in my whole life and wanted to show my husband.' Her hair was disheveled from a romantic romp with her husband, who also loved her look, and we were happy to freshen her hair.

Triple Twist Makeup & Hair Design

San Francisco, CA

    Mei is an Emmy Award-winning, former Cirque du Soleil star artist who now focuses exclusively on beauty makeup and precision hair designs. With over 20 years of experience, you are in the best hands on the biggest day of your life. We arrive with a chic Italian makeup table and director chairs to provide the most comfortable setting for your special day. Photographers love the amazing lighted backdrop for your pre-ceremony shots.

    What first stood out to me was the beauty and variety of hairstyles and makeup on Mei's website and Instagram. When I sent my inquiry, I received such a clear and easy to understand response. I knew what to expect, what was included, and what to look forward to. I had a last minute request for a bridal make up trial and Robert and Mei made it happen. We had hair and make up done for my mom, myself, and maid of honor. Mei's created a look for both hair and make up that fitted all of our styles and was so flexible when the photographer said it was time for photos. I was nervous about having a veil and a headband - we decided the headband would make a lovely crown and she adjusted it and I loved it! Mei is not just an incredible artist, but such a joy to be around - she is exactly the kind of presence I needed on the morning/afternoon of my wedding. She created a beautiful look and hairstyle that I will never forget, nor will the rest of the bridal party. I can't give her enough stars for her skill, professionalism, communication, and kindness.

    Dreamcatcher Artistry is wonderful. Both the owner and my HMU artist were so easy to work with and my wedding hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted. I think the best review would be that my friend hired Dreamcatcher 3 days after my wedding for her wedding and said she wanted to "look just like you".

Went to beauty school and earned an esthetician license in SF as well. Specializing in Bridal and special occasion makeup. I can travel to you.

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Emily's exceptional men's beauty services through ArtistBeautySF.com, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a more mature gentleman preparing for a photo shoot, I was initially apprehensive about the process, but Emily's expertise and professionalism immediately put me at ease. Her meticulous attention to detail and understanding of makeup for men ensured that the final look was natural, enhancing my features without appearing overly done. Emily's skillful application not only made me camera-ready but also boosted my confidence, allowing me to feel comfortable and assured throughout the shoot. Beyond her technical expertise, Emily's warm demeanor and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. She took the time to listen to my preferences and concerns, tailoring the makeup to suit my style and ensuring I felt entirely comfortable with the final look. I highly recommend Emily's men's beauty services at ArtistBeautySF.com, especially for those seeking a natural yet polished appearance for any and all special occasions like photo shoots or weddings. Her talent, professionalism, and personal touch make her an invaluable asset for anyone looking to enhance their appearance seamlessly.

With a specialty in bridal and special event makeup, I work directly with you in order to create your vision that is timeless and beautiful.

    Jenny did makeup for my grandma, mom, mother in law, sister in law, and myself for my wedding and I have zero complaints. Everyone's makeup looked absolutely amazing. I've never felt more beautiful and it looked amazing in photos. When we did my trial I asked for a more glowy look since I had never done one before and it ended up not being for me. I gave her all my notes from the trial about what I liked and didn't like and on the wedding day she took those notes absolutely nailed it. Super important to have a trial so you can give her your feedback and also so she can see the condition of your skin and make any recommendations for skin care so your skin is in the best condition it can be come wedding day. (If you look at her Google reviews I posted 2 pictures of my makeup)

    Christina ''Quis'' Chen began her formal makeup training in her teens while assisting an established bridal makeup artist. After graduating from college with a business degree, she decided to pursue her dreams and relocate to Hollywood where she attended the prestigious Cinema Makeup School for further training. She is also a licensed esthetician. Her work has been published internationally in multiple magazine publications, films and TV. She is also a co-founder of MENU Beauty, a brand celebrating natural beauty.

    Christina and I have worked many years together and continue to book the same brides. Our clients recognize our work and love that we also get along really well! Christina understands my photography style and knows how to apply hair and makeup to show up well in my photos. Christina is very talented and knows how to do hair and makeup in any style, but she really excels at doing natural hair and makeup that enhances a bride's look. There's just something about her technique that makes a bride looking fresh for the entire day. The makeup is never heavy or overdone. I love when Christina stays during the wedding because she is the most helpful assistant whether she is touching up the bride, holding her bouquet/purse, grabbing her water, fluffing her gown/veil, etc., she is the always on guard to make sure the bride's wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christina to all of my brides! She's one of the best in the industry!!

    I booked Hazel for my wedding hair and makeup along with a few bridesmaids/family and I cannot say enough good things! From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!

    Awarded Best of Zola
    My wedding was 10-02-2022 at Temescal Beach House in Oakland. Kim did my hair and make-up as well as the hair and make-up of my mom and 2 bridesmaids. Throughout the process-from my very first phone/video call with her, until the wedding day- Kim was kind, responsive, professional, and completely fantastic. She's genuine and calming which for me, was exactly what I wanted. I do not wear make-up or do my hair so this was the aspect of my day-of wedding prep that I was most worried about. I didn't want heavy make-up or to not look like myself. I also didn't have a pinterest board or a ton of my own ideas because that world (of hair and make-up) is intimidating to me and just not a language I speak. Kim was SO good at giving me options, talking me through things, and REALLY listening to my preferences. She was adaptive and sincere throughout the process and I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day. I looked like me, but leveled up a few notches, and my friends and family recognized me. The hair and make-up also lasted all day which was awesome. Kim is seriously the best (also queer friendly which was great). I cannot recommend her more highly.
