Perfect wedding

Katie did fantastic on my hair and incorporated elements I brought beautifully. She was very friendly and had a gentle touch while doing it. She had suggestions that brought my hair to a whole new level. Bianca was also very friendly and had suggestions that made my ideas happen, just more realistically (like not accounting for windy beach and teary eyes). They made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and I’m beyond excited to see all the photos.

Bridal Makeup Artist Every Bride Needs — Bianca Was Incredible!

From the very beginning, Bianca was communicative, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She truly made all the difference and turned this part of wedding planning into one of the most enjoyable experiences throughout the entire process.She responded to my inquiry almost immediately, carefully worked with the inspiration photos I provided, and executed everything perfectly on my wedding day. Bianca traveled over 1.5 hours to our venue, arrived exactly as promised, and even provided touch-up minis to use throughout the day — such a thoughtful detail that I really appreciated. My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and lasted all day and night. If you are looking for a true professional for bridal makeup services, please book Bianca. I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you Bianca and Katie!

Katie and Bianca were absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding hair and makeup. They helped me achieve the glowy, natural wedding look I had envisioned while still making me feel completely like myself. I felt so beautiful and confident on our wedding day, and everything photographed beautifully. Bianca especially made my eyes pop in such a flattering way.

I really appreciated how patient they were throughout the process. It took me a few trials to fully figure out what I wanted, and they were so supportive and honest every step of the way. Once we landed on the vision, they executed it perfectly.

Beyond their talent, they were also just wonderful people to have around on the wedding day. They kept the energy calm and fun, helped corral the girls, and kept everything running smoothly and on time.They were also always responsive, organized, and easy to work with from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to any bride. Thank you so much, Bianca and Katie!

Big Sur Elopement

Katie and Bianca were fantastic! I had my hair and makeup done with my mom and sister for my elopement in Carmel. They were both right on time from start to finish. Both of them made sure to listen to my ideas for hair and makeup and it turned out so amazing for both me and my mom and sister. And the curls and makeup lasted all day! I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Monterey area.

Absolutely fantastic!

Katie and Bianca were absolutely fantastic! They are such kind, sweet ladies and created such a calm, enjoyable atmosphere for both my trial and wedding morning. Bianca gave me the perfect natural look—I don’t usually wear much make-up, so I was worried about not feeling or looking like myself, but she made me feel beautiful while still looking like me. I’ve also never worn false lashes before and she used light half-lashes that looked amazing and I couldn’t even feel that they were on. Katie did an amazing job with my hair and really listened to my feedback from the trial, helping me achieve the perfect low messy bun I had envisioned. It turned out beautifully and lasted all day. They were also incredibly efficient, and my bridesmaids and mothers all loved their experience. All ladies looked beautiful with hairstyles that felt incredibly personal to their style, and gorgeous make-up looks that wonderfully complemented them. I highly recommend them!

Wedding Makeup + Hair

I truly cannot say enough good things about M.U.A.H. From start to finish, the team was professional, kind, flexible, and genuinely such a calming presence to have on the wedding morning.

What impressed me most was how well they listened. They took the time to understand our vision and what we each wanted, and they executed it beautifully. I specifically said I wanted to look like myself — just elevated — and that is exactly what we got. The makeup enhanced rather than masked, and everything felt timeless, polished, and true to who I am.

Their technical skill was evident in how flawlessly everything lasted throughout the day, while still looking natural both in photos and in person. They clearly hold a high bar for quality and know how to deliver under pressure without ever losing their warmth.

Beyond the artistry, their energy made such a difference. The entire M.U.A.H. team was organized, super friendly, and brought such a positive, steady vibe to the morning. They were transparent on pricing as well!

I’m so grateful for their talent and would recommend M.U.A.H. wholeheartedly.

Most reliable and talented ladies around!!!

Bianca and Katie are the most sweet and talented ladies! I was nervous to find girls I can trust to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. When I went to do the trial, I knew right away that I had full trust in them!! They are kind, take the time to listen to your needs and genuinely care about your wedding day vision. Throughout the entire process, they were very quick to respond to any texts and questions I had. Day of, they showed up right on time and got all my girls done right on schedule. My hair and makeup made me feel the best I’ve ever felt (not gonna lie, I did get emotional looking in the mirror😂) I highly recommend MUAH and would love to use them again in the future! 💗

Katie & Bianca are the best in the business. I've been following them for a while on Instagram and it was great to finally get a chance to work with some of their brides. Being a videographer, I pour over hours of footage I take of these brides, and it's clear that girls who work with them have that extra something special. These girls go the extra mile and I can't recommend them highly enough!
