    Exceptional and Amazing

    Made me feel like the most beautiful bride! Their attention to every detail with their impeccable professionalism made me feel comfortable (I was so nervous). Also, their loving care to my elderly grandmother warmed my heart. They took the time to ensure my grandma was taken care of and she never looked so beautiful too. I really appreciated it. I never imagined in my wildest dreams I could look so stunning. Thank you so much for taking care of me and making me feel so beautiful on my special day.

    Most beautiful person on the planet

    These ladies are heaven sent. Not only best friends for ages but the absolute BEST at what they do. Easy, friendly, communicative, honest, and everything in between. We felt like absolute rock stars before the wedding and my jaw hit the floor when I saw my hair and make up. Would use them time and time again!

    Bianca is fantastic!

    Bianca was amazing through and through. Not only was she flexible and on time for the makeup trial and wedding day event, but she gave me the most perfect, amazing makeup for my elopement. She is truly a fantastic artist. She listened to what I was looking for, and just made it happen. Basically, Bianca does the damn thing and makes it easy, fun, and relaxing. My wedding photos turned out wonderful and it is ALL thanks to her. I would choose Bianca again and again for ANY event, and highly recommend her for your wedding day. She’s fantastic!!!

    Last minute bride

    Bianca and Katie were so great! They accommodated my last minute requests, were punctual, personable, and efficient. We all loved how our hair and makeup turned out. Due to my last minute wedding, I did not have time to do a trial so I just picked photos of their previous clients and used many of those as inspo and let me tell you, they delivered!

    Friend Duo Magic: Bianca and Katie's Exceptional Bridal Beauty

    I am absolutely thrilled with my decision to entrust Bianca and Katie with my hair and makeup for my wedding day, along with my bridal party and mom. It's difficult to overstate the importance of finding a hair and makeup team that not only excels in their craft but also cultivates a fun and relaxing atmosphere on such a significant occasion. With countless details to manage and emotions running high, having the right team in place to set the tone for the day is paramount. What made my experience even more special was knowing that Bianca and Katie are genuine friends who have shared a bond since high school, allowing them to seamlessly collaborate and infuse the day with joy. Their professionalism, punctuality, positivity, adaptability, and willingness to accommodate all requests made the entire process a joy. I couldn't be happier with my decision to choose Bianca and Katie, and I extend my heartfelt gratitude to them for their exceptional work and friendship. Thank you immensely, Bianca and Katie!

    Absolutely amazing!

    Both Bianca and Katie are gems. They truly love what they do and not only that, they are AMAZING at it too. I went to both my hair and makeup trials not fully knowing what I wanted (hair and makeup is definitely not my forte) and they gave suggestions that helped me feel confident in what I would want for my wedding day. Day of, my hair and makeup was flawless and felt totally me. I got so many compliments! Thank you for making my wedding day so special!

    Best hair and makeup team!

    Bianca, Katie and Danielle did the best job for my wedding hair and makeup. They made my bridal party and me look like ourselves and were incredible to work with. All my bridesmaids told me it was the best makeup they have gotten and I couldn’t agree more!
    They were very responsive and very accommodating. I couldn’t be happier with how all our glam turned out. Highly recommend working with them and I would book them again in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies!

    Such a Fun, Relaxed, Talented Team!

    Bianca and Katie were a joy to work with for my Big Sur elopement! I’m from out of state, so they communicated with me closely before booking and during my planning to help me understand how we’d work together to achieve my bridal look on the day-of. They arrived on time, were SO efficient and friendly, and most importantly, they brought my vision to life flawlessly. As a non-beauty-knowledgeable girly, I didn’t have the HMUA lingo down, but they were able to listen to me and work with me anyway to understand my wants. I couldn’t be happier that I hired them!

    Most efficient and amazing team!

    I’ve been so blessed to have worked with muah makeup twice in my life now! First, 7 years ago when my sister got married and we all were so happy and felt so beautiful. Therefore, when it came to my wedding in July 2023 I couldn’t think of a better team! Muah makeup makes your day so much fun and stress free! I had 16 women on my wedding day and they gracefully and efficiently got us all glammed/beautiful and ready for pictures early!! Trust me, as being a bridesmaid a hundred times that’s incredible to be early! I’ve never seen a more time efficient team. However, not only are they time efficient but they’ll make sure yourself and all of your bride-maids feel beautiful and are happy with the end result! They go above and beyond to make sure everyone in your party feels beautiful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TEAM!!!

    The perfect team for my perfect day!

    The MUAH ladies did such an amazing job! I am forever grateful for the makeup and hair styles they did for my wedding. The look will live on forever in my photos. I was very pleased to be able to have my hair done without using extensions. I also loved that the makeup was so elegant and timeless. These ladies are a great team - I would recommend them for any bride!

    Splendid and stunningly skilled!

    Bianca provided makeup for me and a bridesmaid on my wedding day. She was super responsive upon booking and leading up to the event. She arrived a few minutes early and was a pleasure to be around, providing insight into her process and fun antidotes. Even without a trial, she absolutely nailed what I was hoping for. My makeup lasted all day (and even onto the next :)). Highly recommend! Thank you!!

    Extraordinary experience!

    I could not recommend MUAH enough! Not only did they help me pinpoint my perfect wedding look before the wedding, but they also helped me afterwards by recommending products for an everyday look. People have complimented me on my wedding day makeup, and I have friends that say they will be reaching out to them for their weddings. I couldn’t be happier with their talent and their customer service!! Bianca & Katie, thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my special day

    Incredible Artists and So Much Support!

    Bianca and her team at MUAH were absolutely incredible for my wedding makeup and hair. They were very transparent with the pricing for the event and talked me through the whole process before I even signed the contract. I felt so supported by them and they really took the time to make sure I was happy with my makeup and hair and made suggestions for alterations that would look best with my complexion, the time of the wedding (natural lighting, shadows, etc), and my hair texture. I have very sensitive skin and Bianca made sure she used products she thought I wouldn’t have a reaction to. She even texted me a few hours after the makeup trial to make sure my skin was ok. On the day of my wedding, they arrived right on time and had planned out perfectly how long they would need to do my and my bridal party’s hair and makeup. I felt so confident knowing that they were keeping track of the time and I was able to relax before the wedding. Every one of my bridesmaids had different ideas for their hair and makeup. The MUAH team was able to exceed everyone’s expectations and everyone looked stunning! I HIGHLY recommend MUAH for any event you need hair/makeup done for. They are incredibly talented, so professional, and really made sure I felt beautiful. Thank you MUAH!

    Lovely Experience

    Bianca and Katie are wonderful! They did such an incredible job on our makeup and hair, and they have their timing down! We all enjoyed getting glammed up, but still felt and looked like ourselves! If you're looking for two kind, patient and very talented hair and makeup stylists, look no further!

    Amazing team!

    We hired Bianca and Katie to do our hair and make-up for an intimate Indian/American fusion wedding in December 2022. They were well-organized, communicative, arrived on time, and helped put us at ease. When they arrived they looked our photos and offered suggestions based on their expertise. Our wedding day was overcast so Bianca recommended heavier make-up so that my face would show up better in photos. We just received our professional photos and they look stunning. I am so glad that I took her recommendation! Thank you M.U.A.H. for my making us feel confident and beautiful on our wedding day!

    These ladies are top notch! They have been in the industry for many years and did an excellent job with makeup and hair for myself, my mother and bridesmaids on wedding day. Will definitely be going back to them for any hair/ makeup needs in the future. Thank you ladies!!

    Beautiful work

    Working with Bianca and Katie was such a great experience. They were really easy to communicate with and understood our needs. Some of the ladies were not sure what exactly they wanted and they were able to give perfect recommendations. I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, as did my bridesmaids. My daughter had never worn makeup or had her hair professionally done and they made her feel comfortable and excited about the experience. These ladies are professional, kind, and really great to work with.

    I looked like me, but the hottest version of me

    I told Bianca and Katharine from M.U.A.H. that I wanted to look like me on my wedding day, but the hottest version of me. They got the assignment. They also dealt with my huge number of bridesmaids, two moms, and one niece who all needed services and came prepared with assistants to get us ready in plenty of time for pics and our early ceremony. They also vibed with us and were so fun to hang with all morning. Definitely a great choice!

    Beauty at its finest

    Bianca and Katie are a perfect duo. They did an amazing job on makeup and hair for my wedding, along with my bridesmaids and mothers. They have professional recommendations to ensure everyone would look their best in the photos and the mothers said they looked and felt so young and beautiful again too! I couldn’t recommend their team enough!!

    Amazing, Professional, and Talented

    My experience with Muah Makeup and Hair was phenomenal. From the beginning, the ladies were professional, friendly, personable, knowledgeable, and very talented in their craft. The communication was excellent. On the wedding day, the ladies did a great job with my bridal party and myself. They didn’t just make me feel like a random customer, they made me feel like a friend. Thank you ladies!!

    The Best Experience with MUAH!!

    Bianca and Katie hands down have the best makeup/hair service. These two women are absolutely incredible! During my trial and on the wedding day, I felt so comfortable and at ease which was a huge win for me! Even in the time frame we had, they both stayed completely calm. They are incredibly professional, experienced, and timely. I felt so lucky to have both Katie and Bianca there to help me feel soo confident. I felt like my makeup brought out the best features and this made the whole rest of the day so perfect. I highly recommend using MUAH for your special day!!!

    Top notch service and gorgeous makeup

    MUAH Makeup and Hair was one of my venue’s preferred vendors, and I decided to go with them after seeing all the glowing reviews. I went to Bianca’s house for my makeup trial, and she was so nice and made me feel relaxed. While the results were not totally what I was looking for, Bianca graciously took all my feedback and told me the changes would be no problem. She imparted her knowledge as a longtime professional makeup artist, but has no ego and truly wants to make her clients happy.

    On my wedding day, we had to deal with the logistics of the Big Sur Marathon running right in front of the venue. That meant our vendors and wedding party had to get on limited, timed caravans to be escorted through the race.

    Bianca’s assistant was coming from the other direction so she arrived at the venue bright and early. Despite Bianca leaving very early to get to her caravan, a mishap with some other drivers in front of her sent her to the back of the waiting line, and she couldn’t leave until the next caravan two hours later. But Bianca’s assistant got to work and she did an amazing job with all my bridesmaids and the moms.

    When Bianca finally arrived, she was so apologetic even though it absolutely wasn’t her fault at all. She even insisted on refunding the travel fee. She focused entirely on my makeup and I was blown away by the results. Not only did she listen to my changes, but she took my vision to another level, and I felt so incredibly beautiful. I absolutely 100% endorse MUAH Makeup and Hair, and if they didn’t live so far away, I would hire them for any special event I have in the future.

    They're the best!

    The girls at MUAH were the best hair and makeup duo I could ask for! When looking for hair and makeup services for my wedding, I started looking at local businesses, and found them on instagram. I was immediately drawn to their work, as it is beautiful but not too overdone. They were quick to respond to my inquiries, so I booked hair and makeup for myself and makeup for my mom. I did a bridal trial a few months before my wedding, which turned out to be the day of my engagement shoot. I am so glad I did a trial because it was less stressful on the day of, and we had the time to really talk in detail about what I was looking for. My hair was curled in a “party pony” for the trial, so I just let the pony down and my hair was perfectly curled for the engagement shoot! The day of my wedding, they arrived on time and were such a fun presence to have while getting ready! They are so upbeat and really added to the excitement of my special day. My mom is very particular about her makeup, and when I saw her after, she looked incredible! She was so happy and she wishes Bianca could come to her house every day to do her makeup. My hair and makeup turned out to be perfect, and I felt and looked beautiful in both the photos and in person! The hair and makeup lasted all night, even with my crazy moves on the dance floor! Thank you to the MUAH team for your beautifying magic!

    I first discovered Muah when I got engaged, but thought it was a little too pricey. I had trial runs at other places and all were a disaster! By the time I decided to splurge with the makeup and hair, Bianca and Katie were already booked for another wedding on my date! I was so sad, but Bianca was able to fit me and my girls in their busy schedules. Let me tell you, Bianca is professional, dependable, and amazing! She made us all look gorgeous and she is worth every penny. We got so many compliments on our makeup. Do not even bother going anywhere else! Thank you so much Bianca and Araceli!
