I approach bridal hair & makeup styling with a romantic sensibility, including when creating a dramatic look. I’m excited to be working with you to make your dream make over come true with a soft romantic look or dramatic and glamorous look.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Ngan on several occasions from the time she started in the profession until today. I have seen Ngan's work continue to improve and blossom to an artist she is today. The one constant is that she has the most infectious laugh and the bubbly personality that would make your stress as a bride seem invisible (A characteristic very important in an artist / client relationship on a hectic wedding day). As a photographer, I see a makeup artist beyond her beautiful makeup skill. Not only does she need to be great and what her does, but that she also show the passion for her craft. Ngan is truly accurate of that description. On top of that, she is a willing listener and can deliver on what you want. Truly easy to work with. I would consider Ngan as a candidate for your makeup and hair needs for your wedding and other special events.

I loved working with Jasmine for my wedding hair and makeup! From start to finish, she was super professional, incredibly responsive, and a clear communicator. Her makeup looks are beautiful and I chose to go with her signature soft glam with curled hair pinned back on one side. She did a fantastic job during the trial and the day of. After the trial, Jasmine was great at asking for my feedback and incorporating it into the final look for my wedding day. She's also mindful of tailoring her approach to your specific needs to help her work last longer. Make sure to tell her about your skin type and any specific concerns, like curls falling out of your hair easily, or oily eyelids for myself which might have affected the longevity of one eye's eyeshadow. Aside from that and a couple other minor touch ups needed throughout the day (grateful for her touch up kit!), the rest of my hair and makeup stayed all night long on my wedding day. I loved my look and thought it was even better than the trial! Even though she isn't a professional hairstylist, Jasmine really nailed it with my hair. It stayed flawless all day and night, despite the dress changes and jewelry adjustments throughout the day and I received multiple compliments on my hair! She's also easy going and nice to talk to - I really enjoyed the time spent chatting with her while getting ready in the morning. It was a great, peaceful way to start the busy day. Jasmine also helped do 2 of my bridesmaid's hair and did a beautiful job. One of them said that she has a really hard time getting curls to hold, but her hairstyle lasted all night long. I'm so grateful for Jasmine's help and would recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and personable HMUA!

I am so pleased that I booked Dayna as the hair stylist for our wedding! Dayna is talented, communicative, professional, and easy going. She arrived early on the day of the wedding and was flexible with some unexpected changes to the schedule.

  • Serves Oakland, CA

I am a freelance hair + makeup artist specializing in bridal and special event beauty services. Being an artist for over 13 years I take great price in delivering what it takes to be beautiful in your own skin using high quality cosmetics and the most important tool, your beauty.

I’m SO glad I chose Chelsey! She was such a great and easy person to work with from our first conversation all the way through the wedding, and her work is amazing! The make up turned out BEAUTIFULLY - I wanted the soft glam look from the pictures she posted online and that was exactly what she delivered. I got sooooo many compliments. It held up through plenty of tears. I just got the professional pictures back and the make up looks absolutely stunning. She made all my bridesmaids look amazing and it makes me so happy to see the photos of everyone I love looking so beautiful It was also so fun getting to know her while she was doing the make up. She’s a really awesome and interesting person! She felt like a part of our bridal crew on the day of, everyone loved talking with her while getting their hair and make up done. From a logistics perspective, she was also completely reliable. That brought me a lot of peace of mind when it easily could have been another stressor. She showed up exactly when she said she would and had all the professional supplies. She budgeted enough time to keep things on schedule. I had a destination winter wedding in Yosemite, and a few local vendors warned me that other MUAs sometimes no-show to weddings if the roads are snowy! I brought that up when I first spoke with Chelsey and she immediately gave me confidence that I could rely on her. She was super flexible and professional even when I changed the trial date several times. I finally decided to do the trial the night before the wedding (for the rehearsal dinner), which is of course a risk but I had no regrets! Her price was a little higher than other MUAs I spoke with but, considering the quality of her work and how easy and fun she was to work with, I have absolutely no regrets and strongly recommend her for any brides who might be considering her!!

I then got a job working at Sephora where I learned a lot about products and working w/ different skin types/tones, ages and styles of makeup etc for 7 years.

She brings fun and bold looks but can achieve any look of your choice. If you're looking for someone who can nail the look and bring goof energy I would say pick Danica. It's always a pleasure having her around. :)

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.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!!

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.

I hired Raven and her team for my wedding last year and I have zero regrets. From the first email I received, I knew I was in good hands. I instantly fell in love with Raven during my consultation call because she really listened to what I wanted and even took notes! I was a bit nervous initially because I don’t really know much about makeup and hair, but she reassured me that we would create a look that I’m comfortable with and looks great. At my preview we went over everything we discussed during my call and she executed my look perfectly. I’ve LITERALLY never looked better!! I was glammed up but my skin looked so buttery and smooth, never cakey. On my wedding day Raven, Keziah(?) and two other lovely gals arrived on time and got all 9 of us all done quickly but we never felt rushed. The makeup lasted from the afternoon well into the evening and I felt so beautiful. My husband really loved her work as well because I still looked like me! I couldn’t recommend Raven enough!!

Melissa was an absolute delight to work with! From the minute she replied to my project request - her communication with me has been top notch and it made me trust her a lot. I didn't do a trial make-up so l just sent her a couple of inspiration pictures but also gave her the freedom to do whatever she thinks will suit my features and undertone more and she delivered! Melissa arrived right on time and is a true experienced professional, so I would definitely trust her to do my make-up again in the future. She even helped coordinate with her friend, Lindsey, to do my hair and they were both my dream glam team. I felt so beautiful during my special day. Thank you Melissa!

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!

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.
