Shade & Strand was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty. From the moment I reached out, Heather and her team were friendly, prompt, and approachable. As someone who doesn't know a lot about makeup, my hair and makeup artist Charee was a great listener and helped me make the perfect decisions, explaining everything in detail. On the day of, she gave me the soft glam look I had asked for, and my makeup lasted 13 hours without needing a single touch-up. I felt beautiful and confident the entire time thanks to Shade & Strand's exceptional service and quality of work.

Beauty By Ayleen 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves San Marcos, CA

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
My mother and I did a trial with Ayleen prior to booking and immediately knew as soon as she arrived that she was our gal. She is so organized, very communicative, and just so talented. I also love that she continues to learn and improve her skills! During our trial, Ayleen first took the time to understand what our skin concerns were (mom having dry, aged skin and myself having oily skin). She took that information and did the appropriate skin prep to have our makeup stay on all day. My mom was absolutely blown away by her makeup and felt so beautiful! I ended up going with a look that turned out to be a bit too warm on my extra-pale skin, but Ayleen had the knowledge to suggest something that will work better for my complexion! However, the look was stunning, falsies applied flawlessly, and overall it was blended to perfection. Do yourself a favor and book with her now while she’s available! Pro tip: if you’re extra pale like I am and are planning to get a spray tan for your big day, do it for your makeup trial as well! It will give you a much better idea of the final look:)

Hi! My name is Jena, a hair and makeup artist based in San Diego, California and Napier, New Zealand. Managing my time between these two locations, I've recently established a skilled team to support my services while I’m away. Each stylist has been personally chosen to align with my style - specializing in timeless and romantic hairstyles with textured twists and braids or a classic updo. My makeup services offer both traditional and airbrush options with complimentary lashes and high-end professional products for a long-lasting, flawless finish. This ensures you maintain your best look throughout the entire day!

Very happy I went through Jena to book my hair and makeup services for my wedding! Her pricing and low service minimums were exactly what I needed since I had a smaller party. I also appreciated her flexibility for me to add additional services later. She wasn’t available for my wedding day so she referred other artists from her team - Pam and Amelia. Both did amazing jobs and loved their energy the morning of the wedding!

Kandra did my makeup for both my engagement photos and wedding day, she also did my hair on my wedding day. She worked magic! My hair stayed all night and even more impressive in my books my makeup still looked good 12 hours later! I took a pic and sent it to her the next day.

Specializing in working with brides and bridal parties on their significant day is undoubtedly the most fulfilling aspect of my role as a Makeup Artist. The dynamic and high-energy atmosphere of weddings is where I not only excel but find my passion deeply ignited.

I could not have been happier with my wedding makeup! I felt so beautiful. I typically don’t wear a ton of makeup and I felt like Bonnie did a wonderful job balancing a natural look that came out well in photos without making me feel like I had a mask on. I got so many compliments. I also have pretty sensitive skin and we were able to use my trial to not only discuss what look I was going for, but to also figure out what products were gentle enough for my skin before my big day. All of her products are cruelty-free, which not only helped with my skin sensitivity, but it was also important to me as an animal lover. Bonnie was timely and professional. I highly recommend hiring her for your special day!

This woman has some talent, but her professionalism and sweetness is something that is admirable! Not only is she kind, but shes on time, and very communicative! Very personable. I chose her solely on her braiding skills. I had asked for a braided updo for my wedding. I reached out to her, booked my trial, and even the "rough draft" hair was just stunning! Not only that, she taught me how to use my clip-in extensions I had gotten for the wedding as well. Very happy with my choice in hair dresser and I swear I would just drive down to San Diego to get my hair styled by her again.

From the bridal trial to the day of timeline for my wedding party Dana handled it all so that I didn’t have to worry about thinking about anything more than I needed to. Bri was able to get curls to set in my friend with straight hair and my mom said that she never had such great lashes done in her life. I also love that Dana was able to cut and style my hair in advance so that it was perfect and ready for wedding day with one less appointment to worry about.

I have been passionate about making beautiful brides for over 25 years. I have a special talent for transforming people and enhancing their best features. Your perfect look is my goal and I want to exceed your expectations! Bride only or larger groups are all possible. I also offer First Dance lessons. The first dance can be daunting and very scary so I make it simple and easily accomplished in just a few lessons. Lessons are private so you feel more comfortable.

Meleah is the best!!! I worked with Meleah for both hair/makeup and dance lessons. From the first makeup/hair trial, I felt at ease with Meleah and she really listened to what I wanted while giving some suggestions. On my wedding day, my hair lasted all night - even after 3 hours of dancing - and my makeup was perfect. I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day and it was in large part to my hair and makeup! Meleah and her team also beautifully dealt with some anxious moms/aunts on the wedding day. My husband and I also decided to do some first dance lessons in order to feel more comfortable having the spotlight on us and the lessons were so much fun. Meleah did an amazing job teaching us a dance in just 5 lessons and everyone was blown away by our moves. The first dance lessons were definitely a highlight of the wedding planning process and we are both so glad we did it!
