I've been a HMUA for a little over 12 years, worked in the big city (LA) and now back in my hometown raising our 2 littles doing what I love most! I've worked all over the industry! I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old. I've been a bride myself and can attest to the overwhelming mix of emotions that come with planning such an important day. SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim and Lupe were incredible and very patient working with my wedding party, which ranged in experience from someone who had no idea what they wanted for their hair & makeup to someone who brought extensive references and asked for specific changes. I am an anxious person by nature, even more so when I have to be even partially in charge of any kind of event, and Kim's calm and practiced work made me feel so much more at ease. She was even able to incorporate a golden laurel hairpiece that I was worried wouldn't work, but it did, and I felt like an empress on my wedding day. I particularly appreciated Kim's skincare product suggestions, which I still use a month out from the wedding and plan on continuing, swapping out parts as needed. I've come to enjoy my skincare ritual in the mornings, and my partner has noticed the difference and started looking for some of his own to use! Kim Baker Beauty did hair and makeup for me & my wedding party at the Presidio Golf Course in San Francisco.

First of all my hair person (different vendor) dropped out at the last minute and Tiffany saved the day and did my hair and makeup for my wedding. I showed her some pics and she did exactly what I wanted. My hair and makeup was soooo well done. She really nailed it. I accidentally splashed champagne all over my hair and face (several times) and my hair and makeup didn’t get ruined at all. It looked just as good as the morning she finished it and lasted well into the night and next morning. She even left me a touch up bag to use the rest of the day which really came in handy. I felt so lucky to have a really amazing makeup and hair artist who was early, well organized and very communicative and did all the thinking for me. I had concerns since my skin is very sensitive but Tiffany reassured me she also has sensitive skin and tries all the products before using them on any of her clients. Everything she used was top notch quality and my skin was perfectly fine the next day. She was fun to talk to and put me at ease on my big day. Will be recommending Tiffany and using her in the future. ️

When it came time for my wedding, I immediately thought of her, as I had seen firsthand how beautifully she had done our friend's hair.

Raven Reed | Luxury Bridal Beauty

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Santa Cruz, 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.

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.
