Beauty By Joanna

Joanna was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she incredibly TALENTED (my final look was flawless and my pictures turned out stunning), but she is also responsible, organized, prompt, and just an adorable sweet person overall!

It was so fun to get to know her during my trial and my actual wedding day. She is so easy to talk to and has a very zen and calm demeanor. She made both my mom and my sister-in-law safe and feel super beautiful with their services, and was very gracious when I had more than one visitor come to my hotel suite to say hi before the event. Lastly, she's just an awesome human being. The zipper in my dress was stuck and I started having a panic attack and tears just started coming down, literally 2 mins after she'd already packed up and headed out, Joanna came back and did touch ups for me gracefully, having to partially set up yet again to fix the make up. I'm so thankful for her!

You are in great hands with Joanna! She is a gem and will make you feel and look your absolute best!

Joanne was amazing! She asked how I wanted my makeup done and she made it better. She was kind, fun, and very professional. We were in the Bay Area and I asked if I needed her in Sacramento she said she’d definitely travel! By the end of our session I felt like I had known her for years! Great aura about her! I would definitely recommend her if anyone was looking for a makeup artist

Absolutely the best experience I could have ever asked for! Joanna is not only the sweetest and kindest person, but she made the entire process—from my hair and makeup trial to my wedding day—completely effortless and stress-free.
Joanna was always in contact with me and responded so quickly to any questions or changes I wanted to make. She truly went above and beyond to make my day so special that I honestly wanted her to stay and celebrate with us!
I had my trial hair and makeup done with her, and she showed up right on time and brought my inspiration to life. After my trial, I decided to go in a completely different direction with both my hair and makeup because of some changes to my dress. Joanna was so supportive and encouraging of all my new inspiration photos and never made me feel like I was being difficult or changing my mind too much.
I have genuinely never felt more beautiful in my life. Beyond her incredible talent, Joanna is so easy to work with and such a wonderful person to have around on such an important and emotional day. She even stayed after she finished my hair and makeup to help me get into my wedding dress! It was such a thoughtful gesture and just another example of how she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of.
I have several friends getting married this year, and I have already recommended Joanna to all of them!

Joanna did an absolutely amazing job with both my hair and makeup! I don’t wear makeup often, so wanted a more natural glam for my bridal look and Joanna did exactly that. My features including my freckles were all still visible, but enhanced to make me feel like a model on such an important day. She was incredibly responsive and warm throughout the experience, and even helped me as I fell on my way out to get her on the morning of my wedding. She is incredibly talented and it is obvious she cares about the individuals she works with. I know if I ever need my makeup done again in the San Jose area exactly who I will call.

Highly recommend Joanna for wedding hair and makeup!!!!!

We did a trial beforehand, which ended up being super helpful. I was unsure exactly what I wanted and Joanna helped me figure that out! On my wedding day, she made a few adjustments from the trial and absolutely nailed my vision. My hair and makeup were exactly what I had hoped for, and I felt so beautiful and confident all day.

Beyond her talent, she brought such a positive, calming energy to the entire morning. She helped create a relaxed, fun atmosphere while we were getting ready, which made such a difference on what could’ve been a very anxious morning. She also brought a few assistants with her so our entire bridal party was able to get hair and makeup done efficiently without anyone feeling rushed. She crafted a timeline to ensure we could fit everyone in and it went so smoothly.

I truly can’t recommend her enough. Not only is she incredibly skilled, but she’s also kind, professional, organized, and someone you genuinely want by your side on your wedding day. I’m so thankful for Joanna and her team that made my bridal party and I feel amazing and helped make my wedding morning everything I hoped it would be!

I had such an amazing experience with Joanna! She is very sweet! She did my hair and makeup and did a phenomenal job from start to finish. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything looked perfect and that I felt confident and beautiful. She paid attention to every detail, was professional, kind, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. My hair and makeup lasted all day and I received so many compliments! I highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for someone talented, reliable, and passionate about what she does. Thank you again, Joanna! 💕

Joanna was an absolute dream to work with on my wedding day. From the moment we started, she was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive to what I envisioned. She didn’t just do my hair and makeup—she understood me and created a look that felt so natural, elevated, and perfectly aligned with who I am. My family loved her! She worked around my playing toddlers, received and changed the look around when I changed my mind from blush to bronzer. I felt like an absolute queen.

She was flexible, intentional, and worked so seamlessly with the flow of the day. Everything was finished right on time. I had anxiety myself running around doing whatever but was most relaxed in her chair. She worked non stop. Showed up at 6am!!!

When everyone saw me, there were actual tears—and that says everything. I will never forget how she made me feel walking into that moment. Joanna is truly exceptional.

Joanna was the best part of my entire wedding day and honestly I don’t know what I would’ve done without her ! She had me looking stunning on my big day. I went for Hollywood waves and heavy glam and she went beyond my expectations. She knew exactly what I wanted and delivered. She is so kind and extremely experienced and I feel so lucky that I found her! She answered all my questions and made me feel confident in my choice of choosing her for my big day! 10/10 would recommend.

Joanna is absolutely wonderful! She is such a sweetheart, and her work is truly exceptional. On the happiest day of my life, she made me feel so beautiful, and my makeup and hair lasted perfectly until the very end of the party. Thank you so much for everything, Joanna!

Joanna was amazing. I had an early morning ceremony at sand Francisco City hall. So that required getting ready extra Early, which of course isn't easy for a lot of people but she made it happen! I talked to her about how I wanted natural makeup because I didn't want to look like a complete different person on my wedding day and also showed her the exact hair style I wanted. She went above and beyond and made sure that I got exactly what I wanted. I am so glad I picked her to be my makeup artist and hair stylist for my special day, she made me feel so beautiful.
