The best makeup artist!

I am an actress and I first met Sonja as a makeup artist for a commercial that we were both working on. I have worked with several makeup artists throughout my career, but within a matter of minutes I knew Sonja was superior. By lunchtime of that work day, I knew I wanted Sonja to do my makeup on my upcoming wedding day. We just clicked and she is such a skilled makeup artist. I booked her shortly after!

Fast forward to my wedding day, and Sonja exceeded all expectations. Sonja and her assistant, Christina, arrived at the venue early and were ready to start makeup a half hour early. We had a total of nine different women that got their makeup done and Sonja managed to keep our makeup schedule ahead of time. Everyone's makeup looked AMAZING. My entire bridal party raved about both Sonja and Christina.

I LOVED my makeup for the wedding day and would recommend Sonja a million times over! Do not hesitate to hire her for your wedding! She will not disappoint!

Sonja is fantastic!!!

I reached out to Sonja very last minute to see if she could help me with makeup for my elopement. COVID had disrupted our original wedding plans, and we decided with little notice to elope at the end of the month. Not only did Sonja respond right away with her availability and rates, she was immediately open to hearing what I was envisioning (despite the chaos and last minute nature!), allowed me to add my mom later on, and my sister day of as our plans evolved. Two days before our wedding it was supposed to thunderstorm, and due to COVID, we had to have our ceremony outside so we decided to move everything back by one day. Sonja got back to me immediately when I asked her about this, and was wonderfully agreeable!! I wasn't even able to confirm the start time until the night before and she was able to make it, arrived early, added my sister on last minute and was just a delight to work with! She was also incredibly safe and very well prepared to handle COVID safety measures. Oh, and the makeup was BEAUTIFUL! Could not recommend Sonja enough. She was absolutely fantastic in every way!

Working with Sonja and her assistant Melissa was amazing! They arrived ahead of schedule and got right to work. We had a big group (11) that needed makeup in just 4 hours and they executed the task efficiently and professionally. Everyone's makeup looked beautiful and lasted well throughout the night. I didn't initially feel comfortable with my eyelash application and Sonja worked with me to make them more subtle and comfortable. She was very flexible and fun! Would definitely use Sonja again for special event makeup!
