We used Adrianne for my wedding and she was wonderful. Did a beautiful job for me (the bride), my bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law. She got through all of us in a timely manner and really understood what we wanted so we ended up with natural but elevated looks. She also came to my hairstylist's salon so it was so easy to get ready in the morning. And on top of everything she's super sweet!

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.

Hi there! I’m Lauren! I’ve been in the beauty industry for 4+ years. I have worked for Estée Lauder brands such as Bobbi Brown, Smashbox & Too Faced and became in expert in color matching. I enjoy working on photoshoots with companies but working weddings are my favorite! There’s nothing more that I enjoy than making people feel and look their absolute best. Wedding days are such an important milestone in one’s life and I’m here to make the bride and her group feel confident and whichever way needed!

I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was. I highly recommend Lauren for any special occasions or if you just want to feel good! She definitely has a way to hype you up and make you feel gorgeous inside AND out!

I am very blessed to be doing what I love and bringing their wedding day dreams to life!

I booked Kelly and Michelle to do wedding hair and makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, moms, and sister-in-law. We’re all of varying skin tones and hair types and they were able to highlight our features, match our skin tone, and style our hair to our liking. They were both incredibly easy to talk to and friendly. I wasn’t able to have a trial but Kelly did an amazing job with my makeup and hair. I had booked her friend as my florist who provided flowers to apply in my hair. Makeup is truly where they shined and they perfectly applied the romantic style I requested. In terms of hair they will request it be straightened first. My mother-in-law has naturally tight curls so it was impossible for her to straighten before hand and she had wanted to keep her curls. In any case, she still liked her straightened hair but felt it wasn’t her. Other than that Kelly and Michelle were professional, on time, and easy to work with outside of my wedding day. They also provided each of us a touch up kit that included a lip applicator, sponge, powder, sample lip stick, and q-tips.

I needed a make up artist for my wedding. Monina and Yulissa to to rescue! I spoke with Monina (owner of Moderne Beauty) who asked all the right questions to help me figure out what I wanted. I went to her studio in Willow Glen where I met Yulissa, the make up artist/magician for a trial run. By the way, you may be looking to save money somewhere, but do not skip the trial run. The trial run was great! It gave both Yulissa and I the opportunity to see shades, shadows, tones etc. and from there we could see what worked and what worked even better. If I ever find the need for a makeup artist again, I have only one call to make - Moderne Beauty!

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.

I am passionate about makeup and love creating natural yet trendy looks for my clients. I am based in Hayward but I do provide mobile services all across CA.

I called Meena to do my bridal makeup & bridesmaids makeup in January. Loved the way she coordinated everything between my makeup and other girls. Her kit and brushes were all clean. My makeup stayed till evening. Literally got so many compliments. She actually made my day. Gave her contact to other relatives as well. She is the best ever decision I made to hire. And that too she is not that much expensive. The best service in the budget.

I have been working in makeup a long time with a somewhat long hiatus in between my makeup work. with in the gap i studied fine art. Live and work in San Francisco. 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.

Henna Style by Arati 

5.0

  • Starts at $300
  • Serves San Mateo, CA

Hi, I am a henna artist in the Fremont Bay Area. ART is my passion and my passion is my profession! I use 100% organic henna made with essential oils. Henna is an ancient art in India. Henna is actually a tree mostly grown in northern part of India. In today's date, henna is loved by everyone because of its temporary dark red color and various designs whether its tattoo or arabic mehndi and many more.

My fiance and I hired Arati to do both my bridal henna as well as some henna for family members at a casual welcome dinner before our ceremonies. She was very communicative, flexible in scheduling, and did beautiful work. She also worked incredibly quickly - my family members were very impressed with how detailed of designs they had on their hands in less than 15 min each. My bridal henna on hands feet turned out incredible and I received numerous compliments. Would absolutely recommend Arati to anyone looking for bridal henna!
