Samantha G. Sent on 10/12/2023The team I needed, the best!!
Katie and Mariah did an amazing job doing both the hair and make-up for me (the bride) and my 3 bridesmaids. I love the look they were able to achieve on each of us bringing our natural beauty out without it feeling caked on. I do not wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis so they helped achieve that "natural" makeup look perfectly for me. They both brought such a calming, optimistic vibe to getting ready. Katie also made sure to secure my heavy cathedral length veil and ease my nerves about it falling off- it stayed on and didn't move until I took it off at the reception. I did my hair and makeup trial with Katie and she is so easy to work with. She lets you knows she's very open to critiques since what's most important is me being happy on the day- no critiques were needed since she was able to achieve the vision I wanted from the start. At the trial I was venting to Katie about the hiccups I was experiencing while planning the wedding, specifically not solidifying a place to get ready and without hesitation offered her studio up to us as an option if we needed it, without any extra cost. Thankfully we figured things out elsewhere, but it was a huge relief having that back-up option. Both Katie and Mariah were so sweet and professional. They were on time and ready to go the entire time getting ready. I am beyond happy with the end results of working with them! Hire them!!! They are the best, I cannot thank them enough. -

Katie and her team did an amazing job on my bridal hair and makeup as well as my mom and bridal party. I really wanted a natural and romantic look for our wedding. I met with Katie for my bridal trial and she captured my vision. Katie even changed up my look so I could take my engagement photos after the trial. On the wedding day Katie made sure I loved my bridal look down to the tiniest details. Our wedding day was a hot one and my makeup stayed perfect all night! Thank you Katie and Beauty and the Beach for helping make our wedding day so special! -

Book Katie for your wedding now! You will not regret it. But try to book her a year in advance because her and her team get booked up quickly!! Katie and her assistant made me look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I also pampered my bridesmaids and my mom with makeup and hair styling and they absolutely loved it. It was definitely one of our favorite parts of the day!! Katie is so talented. She knows exactly what kind of makeup and hair to do to bring out the natural beauty in her brides and bridesmaids. She arrived to my mom's house on time and went straight to work. She was communicative throughout the entire process. I also completed a hair and makeup trial with her and she was so patient with me. She did three different types of hair and different makeup because I was so unsure about the look that I wanted. All of the hair styles looked so great, it made it hard to choose. She took a ton of photos of me during the makeup trial so I had the opportunity to look back at them and make a final decision in my own time. I am so glad that I hired Katie and her team, I felt like a princess and looked like one too! -

Katie and her team were absolutely spectacular at hair & makeup! During our trial, I discussed how I wanted to keep my bridal look as natural and minimal as possible and she delivered that on my wedding day! She also created the most spectacular, comfortable, long lasting up-do! My girlfriends and family loved their hair and makeup as well. Thanks Katie and team! -

Definitely go with Beauty & the Beach for your hair & makeup needs! Katie and her assistant did a wonderful job on hair & makeup for my wedding day and everything lasted the whole day. All my ladies were extremely pleased with their "natural" but glam gorgeous makeup. Communication with Katie was super easy from the first encounter, to the preview and the day of, she made everything easier for me and I didn't have to stress. Best of all Katie has very competitive pricing compared to other options out there. -

Beauty & The Beach was a fantastic choice for my wedding day. They were super attentive and responsive for all the lead up and were so thoughtful in ensuring they understood my style and desires for my hair and makeup. My lead artist was Amanda Martinez and she was a DREAM – so talented, so kind and so wonderful. I remember thinking at my makeup preview that I wanted to grab a drink with her! Ha. She was so good at bringing my vision to life and worked with me when there were minor changes I wanted to make to my makeup or hair in real-time. She was also super thorough in the makeup/hair trial (which I would highly recommend doing) and requested notes from me around how well it all held up over time, any changes I wanted after spending the day with it, etc. – she was attentive to my notes and addressed them while doing my makeup/hair on the big day which I appreciated. Her entire team was stellar, and they made my bridesmaids feel so special. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked phenomenal and was done in a timely manner / on schedule. They setup in our hotel room and were super chill and fun to hang around with. Everyone had nothing but amazing things to say and I am so thankful I went with Beauty & The Beach for my big day. -

Amy B. Sent on 09/05/2021Beautiful Executed Vintage Glam
When I was first looking for a hair-and-makeup vendor in 2019, I saw Beauty and the Beach listed as a preferred vendor for our venue (Long Beach Museum of Art). I initially considered them because I was looking for a studio who could execute “natural glam” makeup (I didn’t want anything too over-the-top) and could also do braids (even though I ended up not going with braids for my final look, it was an initial consideration).
For my makeup trial, I drove down to San Juan Capistrano to their studio, where my lead artist was Katie, the owner. I told Katie that I was looking for a vintage glam hair and makeup look, and she did an excellent job of executing on it. Katie is really pleasant to be around and worked with me to finalize the look through the addition of color choices that I included.
On the day of the wedding, Katie brought 2 artists with her to Long Beach for the nine services that were to be provided that day. They all wore masks at the bride’s request, and contributed to the fun “getting-ready” atmosphere (and also brought some delicious cronuts). Everyone remained on schedule, and all the ladies were finished by the time they needed to head to the wedding venue. Katie perfectly executed my hair and makeup, even given last-minute changes to the look. She also allowed me to use lipstick that I owned, which was very useful since I was able to reapply it over the course of the evening.
Everything was very convenient, and Katie was also flexible and accommodating with the timeline of payment. Prices were very reasonable and I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the services and would recommend them to future brides.

Katie and her team were truly the best makeup artists I had ever had the pleasure of working with. Katie responded to my emails often same day, and in person she continued to go above and beyond. She executed multiple makeup looks, and helped me pinpoint what style I wanted for my big day. She was funny and personable, highly professional, and truly made my bridesmaids and I feel at ease and most importantly, truly beautiful. Beauty and the Beach was a huge blessing for me, especially at a time when wedding planning is so uncertain (thanks Covid)! Couldn’t recommend Beauty and the Beach more- absolutely wonderful people and even better makeup! -

Paige S. Sent on 07/22/2019Professional, kind, generous!
I had a hair and makeup preview with Katie at her salon, and she was amazing! Right away my mom and I loved her welcoming energy, professionalism, and friendliness. She was thoughtful about asking me questions — both about what I wanted on the big day and about my fiancé and life in general. You can tell she knows her stuff and has a ton of experience making brides and their loved ones feel excited and comfortable. She was also really open to feedback and ideas, which I appreciated. I ended up hiring a friend of one of my family member's to do my hair and makeup for the wedding, but I'd love to go back to Katie to get my hair or makeup done for another event! -

Katy Sent on 09/11/2019BEYOND amazing!
Words cannot even explain how happy Lucy and the Beauty and the Beach team made me feel on my wedding day! Because of her, I was calm, relaxed and had so much fun getting ready with my bridesmaids! I had a trial with Lucy and it was beyond fun! She asked for inspo pictures and worked her magic. The morning of my wedding Lucy was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked AMAZING and they couldn’t believe how natural the airbrush looked! She was so on schedule and I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked great all night long without even needing a touchup. I can’t recommend Beauty and the Beach enough, Lucy is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does (plus shes super fun to work with!!) If you’re thinking of booking , act quick before she gets booked up! -

Choosing Beauty and the Beach to do my entire bridal parties hair and makeup for my wedding day was one of the best decisions I made. Noemi was so sweet and accommodating to my preferences during my hair/ makeup trial, which made me feel comfortable and put me at ease. On the day of my wedding, her and her team did my hair and makeup, 9 bridesmaids hair and makeup, 2 mothers hair and makeup. They were on time, worked quickly (which is a must for such a large party) and did flawless work. I will be using them for all my makeup needs in the future and recommending them to everyone! -

Tamara Sent on 11/16/2018Gorgeous natural, beautiful wedding hair and makeup!
Hair and makeup was super important to me for our wedding day. Not only for myself, but my bridesmaids. I personally wear very little/natural makeup so I knew I wanted to look like the best version of my self, but still MYSELF! I've seen so many brides/bridesmaids that just look overworked and un-natural. When I first emailed Katie the owner of Beauty and Beach I was pleased to find her pricing easily accessible on her website and via our conversation. She was so nice and fun! I decided to use her as a "trial" for my engagement photos before booking her for our wedding. What a treat it was! She listened to my vision, made me feel super beautiful while still looking myself and was quick and easy to work with. I immediately booked her for our wedding. I think had my wedding trial with her 3 months before the big day. Again, she listened to everything I said, and despite my short hair, gave me a beautiful updo that looked timeless and stunning! Needless to say, on my wedding day I felt like a bride all thanks to Katie. Her assistant Naomi made my bridesmaids look just as beautiful and kept us on schedule and feeling happy the morning of. The icing on the cake was all of the compliments I got on my hair and makeup during the wedding. Thank you Katie for making my bridal dreams come true! -

Becca Sent on 10/11/2018Katie and her team were simply amazing!! I used Beauty and the Beach for my wedding in August. Katie was very responsive and professional. I usually do not like having my hair and make-up done. I've never been big in to hair and makeup, so I never know how to describe what I want when I have it done. Therefore, I was amazed at my trial when Katie got everything exactly how I wanted on the first try.
For the morning of my wedding, there were 12 women (myself included) getting both hair and makeup done. Katie and her team (3 other women) were so efficient, friendly, and talented. Every single one of us was thrilled with how our hair and makeup came out. I feel like that is saying a lot because there is usually always someone who is not happy. They were so great at listening to what we wanted and kept saying if we wanted anything changed to let them know. I really appreciate how accommodating and professional they were.
Thank you for making us all look so beautiful! I would highly recommended Beauty and the Beach! -
