San Luis Obispo, CA
  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $150

My love for makeup started young, inspired by Old Hollywood glamour, iconic female muses from art, film, and the bold beauty of music videos. I wanted to feel beautiful and empowered, and that passion grew into a career where I now help others feel the same. After 21 years in San Francisco, Portland, and Denver, I’ve made my home on the gorgeous Central Coast in San Luis Obispo. As a self-taught makeup artist and licensed esthetician, I’m excited to be part of this amazing beauty and wedding community, helping my brides and clients feel like the best version of themselves for their special day

Beauty Goes Everywhere was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding. They communicated well throughout the entire process, making sure all of my questions were answered promptly. Their team of professionals did a fantastic job on everyone's makeup, making us all look and feel beautiful. Adelita in particular made me look and feel my absolute best, and all of the bridesmaids were thrilled with their looks as well. I would highly recommend Beauty Goes Everywhere for your next wedding - they helped make our special day that much more memorable!

Natalie Rose Beauty

  • Starts at $950
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Hi and welcome to Natalie Rose Beauty! My name is Natalie and I am the owner and founder of Natalie Rose Beauty! My passion is to make my clients feel like their most beautiful self. I want them to know and trust, I am here to make their day easy, relaxed and special. Honesty is the best policy in my book and I will never steer my clients in the wrong directly. I vow to always collaborate with them on their Wedding Day look so they feel perfect. At the end of the day when you're working with Natalie Rose Beauty, you are working with someone who truly cares about you and how you feel on your Wedding Day.

I worked with Natalie for my wedding in October 2023. I instantly loved Natalie’s portfolio because it gave ma a very natural vibe. I am someone who really doesn’t wear make-up, so it was very important to me to have that “wedding day beautiful” look but also stay true to myself and look natural. Natalie is very easy to work with when it comes to her communication and professionalism. She is very detail oriented and gave me advice on timelines and other things I hadn’t thought of. I had a fun time at our initial trial for hair and make-up. She is a great listener while also bringing her own thoughts and ideas to the table. On wedding day, her and her team showed up and we had a great time. Myself, the bridesmaids, and even the mothers all expressed to each other how impressed we were with their work and how we all felt naturally beautiful. As the bride, i felt a lot of emotions that day and Natalie also was a great support in calming me down and supporting me. Natalie made me feel so beautiful and comfortable with flaunting it!! I had never felt that way before in my life. I cannot recommend her enough. I hope there is another time in my life where i can work with her again.

Raven Reed | Luxury Bridal Beauty 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

My work can be described as elevated, intentional, and polished. Whether I am working with a bride who prefers to look more like their natural selves or a bride who is a sucker for full glam, I strive to create a luxurious experience for my clientele on their wedding day. Customizing your look with even the most subtle details can prove to be so impactful in enhancing your beauty. I can’t take all of the credit though! Your beauty inspires me— And at the core of it all, your own beautiful face is the roadmap to creating the most elevated version of yourself.

Raven did my bridal make up for my wedding in San Francisco in 2019 and she was absolutely amazing! About 2 years ago I faced the daunting situation of hunting for a make up artist in the US while living in Australia. This presented a number of obstacles but Raven never made it feel that way. She was always responsive and willing to go out of her way to talk with me or provide advice. But the best thing about Raven is that she genuinely cares about making her clients happy and will go the extra mile to make sure of that. At our make up trial, she refused to leave until she knew I was happy! A difficult task when working with someone like me who isn't used to wearing a lot of make up and hadn't had their make up done professionally since I was 18. Raven tackled this challenge with so much positive energy and never once made me feel guilty for not quite knowing what I wanted. And on the day Raven perfectly captured the natural, but polished look that I was after. I absolutely loved my make up and received so many compliments throughout the day and night.

Fairytale Hair and Makeup 

4.8

  • Serves San Luis Obispo, CA

Out of high school, I went directly to cosmetology school. My first hairdressing job landed me on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills at Jose Eber. Not a bad place to start. I moved around a bit until I found a salon that I was happy with. I worked in Malibu, where I had a good high end clientele. But I lived for the weddings and prom days. So Fairytale was born. I made a website, got a booth at a bridal show, and the response was overwhelming. Then I decided I needed to find other artists with the same passion and talent to work with. Thats when I started Fairytale Hair and Makeup!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelly was amazing! She came directly to me for our makeup trial, which made things so much easier in the midst of wedding planning. Day of, she was right on time arriving to our rental condo & she did a great job staying on track - which is saying a lot, as three of my bridesmaids have very thick hair! She did hair for my bridesmaids & my makeup. Everyone's hair held up well throughout the long day, and my makeup stayed BEAUTIFUL despite the summer heat & long hours. She did a great job of helping me reach a natural low-key glam look that fit in so well.

I can't recommend Julie and Sarah from Emily Lynn & Co. highly enough! They made me and the bridal party feel like our most gorgeous selves, while still feeling comfortable and never overdone. We all got so many compliments on our hair and makeup and look great in the photos too. Julie did an amazing job working with my natural curls to make my hair feel special but still like me.

A little more than a year before the wedding date I booked this vendor because I saw that they are the best around. I truly have no regrets in booking and ensuring that I had the best for me and my bridal party. They made this process as smooth as possible guiding me every step of the way. The customer service is top notch and they truly look out for your best interest. Do yourself a favor and make sure you book a trial. This was an amazing opportunity to discuss in person the look I was going for and be able to give feedback and changes for the big day. They were very open and welcoming of all suggestions and questions I had. The day of the event they came early and prepared. Time went by so quickly and they were very efficient in keeping to the timeline. That definitely helps when you have a big group of ladies all needing to get hair and makeup done before the photographer arrives. This made me stay calm and relaxed knowing everything was running smoothly with this vendor. On time of being efficient on the day they really took the time to make sure each of us from the bridal party felt beautiful and confident about our final look. Each look lasted well into the late night! Definitely look into inquiring ASAP for your wedding, special event, or anytime you want to be glammed up. Lastly, thank you so much to Allie for always answering all my questions, concerns, and everything in between! Can’t wait for the next special event for me to get all glammed up!

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

  • Team of 5
  • Serves San Luis Obispo, 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!!

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!

Beauty stems from the inside and that’s where we start with our babes. We want our couples to feel like an elevated version of themselves. We are all about complimenting the mood and aesthetic of your wedding weekend while coming up with a custom look that brings it all together. With the mama wolf, Ash having over a decade of editorial and fashion experience, our work is more fashion-forward than “bridal”. Highlighting natural beauty above all. Because we work so closely with our photographers, we know how to help you feel photo ready while still feeling “approachable”. We are stoked to be considered for your beauty needs!

I hired Love Wolves Co for my hair and make up and had the best experience with them! Karen was my stylist and she did such an amazing job both for my engagement shoot and wedding day! As someone who never wears more than some mascara, she really allowed me to still feel natural and like myself while highlighting my features and ensuring my make up would photograph well. In fact, she did such a great job with make up for me and my bridesmaids that my step-mom (who typically hates getting her make up done) added that service day of! Knowing that my fine hair doesn’t hold well, I had Karen stay for a touch up right before my ceremony and couldn’t recommend that enough! Everyone loved working with her!

The makeup was lightweight but full coverage and she knew exactly what to do with my brows, so they didn't look too overdone (which is often a problem for me when I get my makeup done)! Also, her skill for updos is out of this world. She is a true artist when it comes to both hair and makeup and matching your aesthetic, dress, theme, etc!
