My team and I have one thing in common: we all left beauty school loving updos and makeup more than cuts and coloring. Our teachers told us that we couldn't make a living "just doing weddings," but guess what? Thanks to California's year-round wedding season and the hundreds of brides who put their trust in us every year, we are living our dreams! We can't believe how lucky we are, which is why we show up early and give each wedding our all. Check out our reviews to see the ways in which we go the extra mile.

All of our team members are estheticians or cosmetologists and hold current licenses with the California State Board, so you will be in safe (and clean) hands. Why does this matter? Well, we will be getting up close and personal with your eyes and mouths, and the last thing you want to take with you on your honeymoon is a nasty infection. Self-taught makeup artists might be very talented, but they haven't been trained in infection control procedures. It's not worth the risk.

In addition to all of the standard professional training that we have received, I am very proud that as an airbrush makeup instructor and spokesperson for a major makeup company, I have been able to give my team a level of specialized airbrush makeup training that none of our competitors can match. If you are still not convinced, then, please feel free to browse our photos and reviews on TheKnot.com (where we are three-time Best of Weddings Award winners). We put our heart and soul into this, and we think you will notice the difference.

General Info

As well as offering flawless beauty makeup, we are able to offer the following services:

• Severe Acne Coverage
• Waterproof Scar and Tattoo Cover
• Vitiligo Cover
• Hair Painting to camouflage roots/grays
• Thickening of thin/bald spots using fibers

The great news is that in spite of all of the extra care and training that we believe we bring to the table our pricing is actually the same or lower than most of our competitors. Why? Because we are lucky enough to be kept so busy, year round.

We don't think it's fair that brides are always charged more for their hair and makeup, so our services are the same for everyone. Of course, we spend a little extra time and attention on your look, but it's just our thank you for letting us be a part of your big day.

Please contact us if you have any questions or special requests. We are always happy to talk about weddings!
