Nataly was incredible to work with! She was helpful and skilled and easy to chat with! She turned my vague ideas into an absolute dream! All of my crew looked gorgeous, and she even helped me manage a tricky “mom wants to be matchy matchy with the bride” dilemma with poise. Her partner Lupita really took her time to make us all feel comfortable with the level of makeup and glam, and made us all feel gorgeous! Highly HIGHLY recommend!

Tiffany Purdy Bridal Makeup Hair Artist did a wonderful job for my wedding day. Their communication was great, and Tiffany is so sweet! The quality of their work was truly flawless - they created a natural, elegant glam look that made me and my entire bridal party feel stunning and confident. Tiffany's team kept us laughing and chatting like old friends the whole time we were receiving services. I wish I had managed our timeline a bit better or started the process earlier, as it took a little longer than expected for everyone to finish up. But overall, Tiffany and her team were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend their services.

Raven Reed | Luxury Bridal Beauty 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Starts at $1,800

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 stumbled upon Raven's Instagram during wedding planning and noticed how all of her clients looked radiant, delighted, and uniquely made up to suit each person's face. I had had a very disappointing trial run with someone else, but with no prior experience, I didn't know if that was just how professional makeup was going to feel regardless; I didn't feel like I looked like myself, and that's certainly not how I wanted to feel or look like on my special day. Once I reached out to Raven, I could tell by her warm and compassionate correspondence that this person was going to do her utmost to understand my needs/wishes. We did a trial at my home and I was immediately put at ease by her professionalism and the warmth she expressed in her emails was exactly how she was in person as well. She never judged me on my personal skincare or makeup routine and offered great insights and tips for my everyday life and in preparation for my wedding day. On my wedding day, she arrived with an assistant promptly (probably early, even!) and seeing their friendly faces eased so many of my jitters. They did my mother-in-law's makeup and hair, and I could tell by her ear-to-ear smile that she was so happy with the results. Raven's assistant even managed to put her short bob-length hair into an elegant french twist-like updo, which she never would have thought possible. Raven, once again, did her magic on my face, with even more attention to detail than the trial, and our chat during the session made me forget from time to time that I was supposed to be nervous! No surprise, I was so happy with how my makeup looked – I felt like me, but fancier and photo-ready. On top of everything, they also spruced up my husband and tidied him up before the main event as well. They mostly touched up his skin and helped him with his hair and beard, but most of all, I know he appreciated their calming and warm demeanor when he was nervous too. Do not hesitate to book Raven for your event! She's truly a wonderful person and an amazing makeup artist. She will stop at nothing to make you feel like the beautiful person you are.

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.

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.

      Mei is an Emmy Award-winning, former Cirque du Soleil star artist who now focuses exclusively on beauty makeup and precision hair designs. With over 20 years of experience, you are in the best hands on the biggest day of your life. We arrive with a chic Italian makeup table and director chairs to provide the most comfortable setting for your special day. Photographers love the amazing lighted backdrop for your pre-ceremony shots.

      What first stood out to me was the beauty and variety of hairstyles and makeup on Mei's website and Instagram. When I sent my inquiry, I received such a clear and easy to understand response. I knew what to expect, what was included, and what to look forward to. I had a last minute request for a bridal make up trial and Robert and Mei made it happen. We had hair and make up done for my mom, myself, and maid of honor. Mei's created a look for both hair and make up that fitted all of our styles and was so flexible when the photographer said it was time for photos. I was nervous about having a veil and a headband - we decided the headband would make a lovely crown and she adjusted it and I loved it! Mei is not just an incredible artist, but such a joy to be around - she is exactly the kind of presence I needed on the morning/afternoon of my wedding. She created a beautiful look and hairstyle that I will never forget, nor will the rest of the bridal party. I can't give her enough stars for her skill, professionalism, communication, and kindness.

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'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.

Throughout the process-from my very first phone/video call with her, until the wedding day- Kim was kind, responsive, professional, and completely fantastic. She's genuine and calming which for me, was exactly what I wanted. I do not wear make-up or do my hair so this was the aspect of my day-of wedding prep that I was most worried about. I didn't want heavy make-up or to not look like myself. I also didn't have a pinterest board or a ton of my own ideas because that world (of hair and make-up) is intimidating to me and just not a language I speak. Kim was SO good at giving me options, talking me through things, and REALLY listening to my preferences. She was adaptive and sincere throughout the process and I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day. I looked like me, but leveled up a few notches, and my friends and family recognized me. The hair and make-up also lasted all day which was awesome. Kim is seriously the best (also queer friendly which was great). I cannot recommend her more highly.

        Dana is fantastic! On my wedding day, she did hair on 8 girls, each wanting different styles, which she executed perfectly. We finished on time and she gave me a little kit in case we needed to fix anything later in the evening. My hair looked amazing and lasted all night, even after hours of dancing! I would HIGHLY recommend her work for your special day!

        I wanted to get Glam-Up for my best friend's birthday. Lauren responded super quickly after I submitted the request on her Instagram. 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. I highly recommend Lauren for any special occasions or if you just want to feel good! She definitely has a way to hype you up and make you feel gorgeous inside AND out!
