    Wonderful wedding hair and make-up experience

    Vinnia was my hair and make-up artist for my wedding last weekend. I did a trial with Vinnia a couple months before, and she was great at listening to what I wanted and figuring out what style would work best for my upcoming big day. She also has this magical light fixture in her studio that makes your pictures look amazing! I went with a “natural” look, which takes two hours to do!

    On the day of the wedding, Vinnia and Anna did hair and make-up for me, 4 bridesmaids, and two moms. They brought music and created a relaxing, fun experience for us to get ready for the day. Vinnia and Anna were great at tailoring the styles to what each person wanted. Vinnia showed my maid of honor how to take my veil out after the ceremony and gave her a touch-up kit. My curls held throughout the night, and the touch-up kit came in handy since I cried a few times! I would definitely recommend Vinnia for your special event!

    Talented, flexible, and friendly

    Vinnia stunned everyone with her incredible hair and makeup skills. My wedding party and I looked and felt more glamorous than we ever had. I warned Vinnia that my hair was rather thick and disobedient, but Vinnia tamed it into perfect soft waves that I’ve never been able to achieve on my own. Between our trial and the wedding itself, I decided that I wanted to tone down my contouring, and Vinnia listened and made the adjustment beautifully. She provided me with a cute touch-up kit in a small, pretty drawstring bag that my maid-of-honor carried with her. To top it off, Vinnia has a very friendly, calm, and warm presence, and it was a delight to spend a few hours with her on my wedding day.

    Vinnia is an all-star. Book her for your wedding! She's super easy to work with, and made us all look super amazing (sister-in-law, bridesmaid, mother of bride, and me). I loved that she kept my look so natural, and I got so many compliments on how beautiful I looked. Thank you so much, Vinnia ❤️

    Vinnia did my hair and makeup for the wedding. My makeup trial went well but the day of makeup turned out even better! I did not do a makeup trial but the undo turned out great as well. I got so many compliments! She was super friendly and easy to work with!

    I found Vinnia through Thumbtack and I'm sooooo glad that I did. She was perfect. Vinnia helped to make me feel relaxed on the actual day, because I knew she would do a fantastic job after our trial run. She listened to all my feedback and made me look amazing with just the perfect hair and make-up for my outdoor wedding. She was extremely punctual and professional. A+ will recommend to friends and family.

    Vinnia and her team were great for my August wedding!! Every bridesmaid looked like a million bucks after they got their hair and make-up done. I would strongly encourage any bride to go through Vinnia to help them look perfect on their special day!

    Vinnia is very talented and such a joy to work with. She did my hair and makeup for an event I was hosting. and I felt beautiful after our session. I received so many compliments. Vinnia is also very friendly and and I felt like I have known her for years. She is very professional and listened to all of my specifications regarding my hair and the colors/shades I wanted for my makeup. I was very happy with the results! I will definitely contact her again when I need to get dolled up for a special event.

    Vinnia did an amazing job with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. Makeup lasted until the time to sleep. I don't regret choosing her for my great day!

    Vinnia was amazing. The initial consultation was professional and efficient. Vinnia listened to what I wanted and worked with me to attain the look I desired for my wedding day. She was very accommodating and communicated clearly to me what was expected of me as a customer. She also gave herself more than enough time to commute and showed up earlier than was asked. She was patient and fun to work with. I would recommend her to anyone that needs to get their make up and hair done.

    Vinnia was a pleasure to work with. I was lucky enough to have been able to work with her twice as my husband and I had both a City Hall wedding ceremony and then a reception that followed a few months later. Both times I had to book Vinnia last minute due to my other arrangements not working out and I was so thankful. She was always quick to respond to my questions - got both of my hair styles on point and overall is just an extremely friendly and accomodating person. I would definitely recommend her for anyone who wants to look gorgeous on their wedding day!

    I was thoroughly pleased with Vinnia's services. She did a wonderful job on hair and make-up for my mother-in-law, sister and myself. She's a rockstar!! I am definately going to recommend her to any of my friends who need hair and make-up for their weddings, parties, etc.

    Vinnia was an absolute joy to work with -- truly accommodating, from the time we scheduled our first trial to the big day, and she even came to my home for the trial at no extra charge. She was also very understanding of multiple changes to the wedding day prep timeline and very patient with my indecision through the process :) By the end of everything, I truly viewed her as not just another vendor, but as a friend.

    In addition to being a talented makeup and hair artist, Vinnia's prices are unbeatable -- she was able to do my bridesmaids' hair and makeup for as much as other artists charge just for makeup, and all my girls looked absolutely beautiful. Vinnia made them all look chic and glamorous without the "caked-on" quality; they were all very fresh-faced and the most breath-taking I've ever seen them.

    Finally, talk about full service: Vinnia set up our car service from the prep venue to the wedding venue! I can't value enough how easy she made things on such a hectic day. Thank you, Vinnia!

    Vinnia did my makeup and hair for my wedding. To say she did a fantastic job is a huge understatement. I initially found her on craigslist and was impressed with her reasonable prices and website which showed a lot of before and after photos. She was prompt to respond to my emails and very accommodating (If I'm not mistaken she moved a few appointments around to fit me in). On my wedding day she was relaxed and very professional which calmed my own nerves. Even though I didn't do a trial my hair turned out exactly how I imagined it. I was most impressed that my hair withheld through fierce San Francisco winds and didn't come apart at all. My makeup was nothing short of old hollywood glam. It photographed fantastically.

    I had her back for my reception and her sister, Mel, did my mother-in-law's hair and makeup while Vinnia did mine. My mother in law looked fresh and young without looking like she was trying too hard. We got a million compliments on both of our looks.

    Five stars all the way!

    Vinnia did my hair and makeup for my wedding along with my bridesmaids' and mother's hair and makeup. All of our communication was done through email. Vinnia was excellent at responding promptly and answering all my questions. I had my trial three days before my wedding and Vinnia kept checking with me to make sure that I liked what she had done. Anything that I wanted changed, she did with no questions asked.

    On the day of my wedding, Vinnia and her assistant did everyone's hair and makeup and finished on time. Everyone was happy with the results. I was amazed by how Vinnia did my hair. It looked the best it ever has! I love looking back at pictures, because I still can't believe how she was able to style it. My makeup last all night - through hugs, photos, and dancing! I highly recommend Vinnia. She is great at what she does!

    Extremely responsive and willing to change times when the weather was rainy for an engagement shoot. Extremely professional and easy to work with. Punctual. And, best of all, did a fabulous job!
