About

Professional Makeup Artistry is often hailed as one of the premier bridal hair & makeup agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area. A commitment to excellence has earned us a reputation in outstanding customer service, providing each client with unique personal attention on her wedding day. For us, the greatest compliments are those given by clients who say they felt as beautiful as they looked. In 2009 PMA is inducted in the coveted Grace Ormonde Platinum Vendor List, giving PMA a five star vendor rating.

Beyond excellence in Hair & Makeup design, the PMA experience is about tending to the pampered bride. Years of experience working closely with brides, their mothers, and their bridal parties has prepared us to work with you. We know how to anticipate and tackle every imaginable beauty "crisis": from developing a meticulous hair and makeup schedule, to helping you get out the door on time, to dealing with emergency dress repairs, to making sure your photo sessions look good and go off smoothly. These are just a few of the "little things" past brides have said really made a big difference. Even the most dedicated bridal party members often do not have the time or the expertise to assist or tend to the bride. It is our pleasure to help you in any way.

PMA exclusive services are designed to make your experience an unforgettable one.

Maria, the founder of PMA, and her team are just fantastic!!

I had the opportunity to work with Professional Makeup Artistry at a community outreach project. Maria's expert hand at makeup was phenomenal for the resulting photographs taken of women who were at a safe house. Together we donated our services to help out women in need. The fact alone that Maria was willing to give her time, expertise and skill for a worthy cause showed me the joy she has for her craft! AGB
Maria is AMAZING! She is one of my top hair and makeup artists that I refer to my wedding clientele. I love how sweet her personality is, but how professional and on top of things she is. Maria provides all of her clients with a timeline for the morning's hair and makeup schedule, and provides personal assistant services to the Bride all morning helping her not only get her hair and makeup done, but also helps her travel to the wedding location, get dressed, put on her veil and shoes, touch her up during pre-ceremony photos, touch her up before she goes down the aisle, and touche her up during post ceremony photos. She even carries straws with her in case the Bride wants to drink something and not mess up her lipstick! I LOVE her attention to detail!
PMA is amazing! I had the pleasure of working with her and her team recently and WOW!!! she took care of the bride from start to finish, by styling and designing her breathtaking look to maintaining it through out the day! she anticipated and took care of her every need! I highly recommend her to every one!
Maria will not only make you look fabulous on your wedding, she is an absolutely fabulous person herself! It is always an honor to shoot photos of brides who have hired Maria!
It is always a pleasure to work with Professional Makeup Artistry. The brides look so beautiful they glow all day long!
Maria is a hair and makeup artist who sets the bar high. I truly love her talent, warmth and professionalism. I am proud to have her in this industry as a peer and collaborator. She has been an inspiration of blending business savvy with great artistic talent, and on top of it she is a lot of fun. I would and do recommend her often. She is wonderful!

Having your veil and hair accessories is recommended but no required. We will then re-create the look you desire for your wedding day.
