San Francisco, CA
  • Starts at $885

I have always had a passion for all things beauty since a young age. I developed a passion for makeup while earning a degree in photography, using my artistry skills on various projects and photo shoots. I've been in the beauty industry for over 18 years, working for brands such as Nars, Bobbi Brown, Bare Minerals, Charlotte Tilbury and Laura Mercier. I am a licensed Esthetician and Borboleta certified lash artist, and I've loved furthering my education within the beauty industry. My skill set is constantly evolving and I strive to give only the best to all of my amazing clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly loved my make-up on my wedding day and I recommend Lacquer And Lashes! Nicole was the best that I could have asked for - my bridesmaids agree too. From our very first interaction, Nicole's communication was prompt, professional, kind, and open - I truly felt heard throughout the entire process. I attended my trial a little unsure about what I wanted but I left feeling absolutely confident that I made the right choice. Right after my trial, my soon-to-be husband saw me and immediately loved my look. On my wedding day, Nicole's calm, warm presence was exactly what I needed to start my day. After my make-up application, I looked in the mirror and was so pleased with my results. I was ready to slip on my dress and get the party started. My 2 sisters, both my Matrons of Honor, loved their make-up too. Nicole is very talented and I can recommend her work without any hesitation. I am even thinking about returning to her for lash extensions, something I didn't think I would want but she makes them look so good!

Amy Lawson Makeup & Hair 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $500

Amy Lawson is a San Francisco based professional makeup & hair artist with over two decades of experience. She has provided her services to brides from intimate City Hall weddings to lavish destination weddings. Amy has travelled across the globe from Las Vegas to Thailand, to create stunning looks for her clients. Her work has been featured in numerous wedding publications. She has worked on celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Ali Wong, as well as events like the Golden Globe Awards. Her many years of experience and expertise make her a valuable asset to any special event!

Amy is the beauty professional I most admire working with, from set-up to beauty session to take-down. I have been a hair and makeup artist in the wedding and film industry for fifteen years. She is an artist keen to bring out her clients' natural beauty with flawless finishes. You won't know you are wearing makeup, and everyone will notice how incredible you look. She uses light touches to enhance your look but can replicate more dramatic looks. Tell Amy what you desire, and she will make that look work for you. In addition to her talents, it is a pleasure to work with Amy. She is well-organized, respectful, empathetic, on-time, and she will put you and your group at ease. I love that she brings her fabulously curated cosmetics of the best brands that will last all day (she's tried them all), which are impeccably clean. Every time I have worked with Amy at a wedding or on a film set, she brings the strongest talent in the industry with her. My favorite memory of working with Amy was styling a bridal party in Napa, California. It was a large group of women from Texas who savored their breakfast tacos while we styled them. Amy's five hand-picked artists transformed each bridesmaid and the bride from bedheads and tired eyes from a party the night before into stunning ladies who looked like they slept well. One bridesmaid left the hotel suite where everyone's hair and makeup were being done right after we showed her the finished look. When the bride asked, 'Where did you go?,' she replied, 'I never looked so good in my whole life and wanted to show my husband.' Her hair was disheveled from a romantic romp with her husband, who also loved her look, and we were happy to freshen her hair.

I think the best review would be that my friend hired Dreamcatcher 3 days after my wedding for her wedding and said she wanted to "look just like you".

    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.

    With a passion in makeup artistry, I seek to enhance the beauty within every person I work with. 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)

    Makeup by Quis

    • Serves San Francisco, CA

    Christina ''Quis'' Chen began her formal makeup training in her teens while assisting an established bridal makeup artist. After graduating from college with a business degree, she decided to pursue her dreams and relocate to Hollywood where she attended the prestigious Cinema Makeup School for further training. She is also a licensed esthetician. Her work has been published internationally in multiple magazine publications, films and TV. She is also a co-founder of MENU Beauty, a brand celebrating natural beauty.

    Christina and I have worked many years together and continue to book the same brides. Our clients recognize our work and love that we also get along really well! Christina understands my photography style and knows how to apply hair and makeup to show up well in my photos. Christina is very talented and knows how to do hair and makeup in any style, but she really excels at doing natural hair and makeup that enhances a bride's look. There's just something about her technique that makes a bride looking fresh for the entire day. The makeup is never heavy or overdone. I love when Christina stays during the wedding because she is the most helpful assistant whether she is touching up the bride, holding her bouquet/purse, grabbing her water, fluffing her gown/veil, etc., she is the always on guard to make sure the bride's wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christina to all of my brides! She's one of the best in the industry!!

    Jasmine is one of a kind! I have known Jasmine before she became Jasmine&Co and she has always had such a kind and helpful spirit. She was the easiest decision with my wedding planning process and I had 2 big events to prepare for. Always had good recommendations for local vendors too! I had Jasmine for my pre wedding and day of event and I loved my looks! What I absolutely appreciated is how hectic wedding planning gets jasmine always assured me that everything will be okay! She also helped me create a hotel block in hawaii for my destination wedding and gather ideas for my big day! The only thing I wasn’t able to get done was a trial but the day of my wedding and henna events she knew what I needed and I felt so beautiful! I believe I was her first destination bride and she did so well even being pregnant made time to finish every single person and even last minute touch ups for family. 10/10 would recommend Jasmin and Co and count her as your hype girl for every event!

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.
