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!

Working with Annaliza and the MakeYourselfUp team was an exceptional experience! Annaliza's talent shines through in her makeup and hair artistry, especially on my wedding day. I was beyond thrilled with the results, and the entire process was seamless and enjoyable. Not only did Annaliza work her magic on me, but she also beautified my maid of honor, and her team did eight bridesmaids, including my mom. The transformation was incredible—my mom looked absolutely radiant and years younger! What truly stood out about working with Annaliza was the ease of collaboration. I shared my preferred style and showed her some inspiration from Pinterest, and she immediately understood my vision. Her expertise went beyond just executing my ideas; she also made insightful suggestions that enhanced my overall look in ways I hadn’t considered, making the process enjoyable and stress-free. One aspect that truly impressed me was the team’s punctuality. Annaliza and her team arrived 30 minutes early, ensuring we had more than enough time for everyone’s makeup and hair. This level of dedication and attention to detail not only reassured me but also made a significant difference on such an important day. I am incredibly grateful to Annaliza and the MakeYourselfUp team for their exceptional work and for making my wedding day even more memorable!

She responds quickly and sends reminders about appointments periodically. She also includes some great wedding day tips which were super helpful.

Welcome. Everyone deserves to look good as they celebrate their biggest moments and it just so happens that is my passion - to boost your confidence to the max! My love for beauty started when I was a little girl playing salon with my first client: my mom. Later down the road, I became the go-to hairstylist for my friends and family on a girls night out, high school dances and from there it was a no brainer. I knew I wanted to go to cosmetology school and pursue all things hair! I trained at Paul Mitchell The School of Temecula and am a Licensed Cosmetologist. Since then, I have been boosting confidence since 2016 !

Working with Dominique was amazing!!! She listened to what all of us wanted and made sure we were all happy with our styles. My mom is picky with hairstyles and often times undoes her hair but she did not with Dominique. She is still raving over how beautiful her hair looked. As for me, the bride, I can’t say enough good things about Dominique. I loved how she was with me throughout my photos to ensure my hair looked flawless in all the pictures and was so quick in changing up my hair into the second hairstyle. My bridal party and I all agreed that she was amazing and we will definitely be booking another event with her!

I had the best experience with Sharon! I discovered her on Instagram and was immediately impressed by her work. She was flexible, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly professional! During the hair and makeup trial, I showed her some inspiration photos, and she was able to replicate the look perfectly on me. It just so happened that the trial was on the same day my husband and I went to the courthouse to sign our marriage license, so I was thrilled to look my best! On the wedding day, Sharon did hair and makeup for the mothers of the bride and groom, my husband, and me. My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed in place all night long—I didn't even need the emergency makeup kit she left me with. Sharon is amazing! You absolutely need to book her for your wedding or engagement shoots!

I’ve always loved hair and makeup, so getting it professionally done was one of the things I was most excited about for my wedding. Choosing a HMU artist was overwhelming, especially with so many highly recommended options. Emily Lynn & Co. stood out to me because of their natural approach. Their website had an editorial yet relaxed and fun vibe that resonated with me. As a graphic designer, a beautifully designed brand and website played a big role in all my vendor decisions—but Emily Lynn & Co.'s work truly spoke for itself. I had the pleasure of working with Colette as my lead artist, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the trial experience so comfortable by coming to my apartment, which was so nice. Colette really understood my vision—I wanted to look like myself, not too overdone, but with a touch of soft glam, and she nailed it perfectly. I also had Josie do hair for a few wedding party members, and everyone looked incredible. The atmosphere while getting ready was fun yet wonderfully calm. I highly recommend Emily Lynn & Co. to anyone looking for a top-notch HMU team!

I connected with Jaycee (Jackie) when working in LA because we both have a very similar style.

LA HAIR AND MAKEUP

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!!

I’ve had my makeup done from her quite a few times and I have always loved the end result and that is why I always hire her .

  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

I have been a hairstylist and makeup artist for 20 years, based up and down the West Coast - currently based in Los Angeles. Coming from a family of hair stylists, I was born into it and the constant strive to be the best has been there from the start. I’m sure most stylists say this but I genuinely mean it when I say I LOVE my job. I have such a passion for hairstyling, and specifically for bridal/wedding bookings. My brides and wedding party’s are always my favorite experiences.

Selecting Megan for my hair (and makeup!) on my big day was the best choice I ever could have made. Big truth: YOU WANT TO LOOK YOUR BEST! For the moment and for the memories (what other day do you have so many photos of you?!?!?). Megan made me look and feel sensational (if I do say so myself lol). Before the wedding we went through a detailed trial run, which not only made me SO excited, it also set my mind at ease (I’m a natural planner and I want to know the details!) She took my inspirational photos and brought them to life with her artistry, which ultimately was better than what I could have imagined. That’s what you want. Someone who will listen to you, then create something even better. She is professional through and through. She has years of knowledge to bring to the table. She even worked on my hair color the months leading up to the wedding to get that right (these grays and highlights don’t fix themselves and have the ability to glisten in the sunlight!). Here’s another thing - you want the people around you on your big day to uplift you and honestly, be people you WANT to hang out with. They are a part of the experience. Having Megan there was fun! I knew was in good hands AND she was a joy to be with. Really important people! Whenever I look at those photos or think back on those morning memories, it brings a huge smile to my face! I highly recommend!

With Over 10+years in the beauty industry I pride myself on top quality services, products and continued education. Because the beauty industry is continuously evolving I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the amount of detail that goes into learning and growing as an artist. My Goal is Creating customized looks for every client based on their own beauty and style. I do hope to one day create a look that brings out the beauty within you.

You always hear those horror stories about how your make up turns out terrible on your wedding day? NOT ME!! I was so nervous and had no clue what I even wanted. Lili not only talked me through my options. She did a trial and walked me through everything. I looked fantastic just in the trial! Come wedding day, Lili came on time and set up everything for me and my bridesmaids. She was neat and organized and cared alot about sanitation. My entire wedding party looked fantastic and I couldn’t have been happier. My make up looked so amazing and made me feel so beautiful. I 100% would recommend her, and will use her for other events.
