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!

Kim Baker Beauty is all about helping people feel like their best self, inside and out. This is so much more than makeup. We don't take it lightly that we are the first people you are with on your wedding day. How we make you feel is our top priority.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Kim Baker Beauty more than 5 stars, I would!! My wife and I got married in Saratoga, California a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't have been more thrilled with Kim, Lupe, and Steven. We got hair and makeup for ourselves and our bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, and even a little kid makeup for our flower girls. Our priorities were to feel present on our wedding day and to feel like ourselves, just a little more polished. We don't wear makeup on a day to day basis, and so we didn't want fake lashes or extensions. Kim worked with us to help us achieve our vision for our hair and makeup and encouraged us to give her extensive notes about what we didn't like at our preview (SO hard to do as a people pleaser, but Kim created a safe space where we were able to do so). My wife Ali thought she wanted a glowy look, but ended up going completely non-glowy on wedding day and LOVED it. She struggles to have her hair hold a curl for more than an hour, and Kim did such a good job her hair was still wavy the morning after the wedding after sleeping on it all night! I found out at our preview how particular I am about having my makeup done, and Kim let me do my eyeliner and eyebrows myself on our wedding day. It was the perfect balance of feeling pampered by Kim but still feeling in control of the things I am very picky about! Both of us have very sensitive scalps, and Kim made sure each and every pin felt comfortable and wasn't pinching. It made a HUGE difference in our stamina throughout our long crazy wedding to not have the added sensory nightmare of pins buried in our heads. Full disclosure, Kim is a dear friend of mine. But she and her team also hit it off with the rest of our bridal party! They're in selfies taken while getting ready, and they even got our shy junior bridesmaids chatting and laughing. We are so grateful for how they made our wedding morning feel organized, calm, and fun! If you're not sure whether to book Kim Baker Beauty, take it from me - there's none better.

  • Serves San Rafael, CA

Makeup By Adele specializes in natural and timeless beauty, servicing the classic bride and women who want to feel confident and like the best version of themselves. I am a self-taught makeup artist and have been in the makeup industry since 2004 (Boy, am I aging myself, ha!). I worked at various department store makeup counters, was an artist for a few cosmetic brands and perfected my craft over the years. I started Makeup By Adele because of my love for working with clients - being a small part of their big events brought so much joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adele is the best! She is a pleasure to be around, always timely, professional and truly is an artist! Her makeup technique is exceptional and she is amazing at enhancing your natural beauty. I am a wedding planner so working with an artist who also sticks to the timeline is critical since the wedding day starts with hair and makeup. Adele will keep me updated on the wedding party and is always a great communicator. I can't say enough good things about Adele!

  • Serves San Rafael, 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!

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 Rafael, 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!

My experience in HD, bridal, editorial, special event, and special effect makeup has allowed me to work with a diversity of clients. 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. I am on location makeup artist serving Northern California, meaning I travel to each of my clients. This allows for a stress-free and collaborative experience for you!

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)
