Flawless Results and Exceptional Service – Tami and Her Team Are Amazing!

I cannot recommend Tami and her incredible team enough! Tami did my makeup, and Sierra handled my hair—both were absolutely amazing from start to finish. From the moment I booked with Tami, her warmth, kindness, and professionalism stood out. She was extremely responsive in her communication, detailed in her planning, and truly made me feel like I was in expert hands.

During the trial weeks before the wedding, I didn’t have a clear vision and only had a few vague ideas. Tami and Sierra’s open-minded approach, creativity, and patience put me completely at ease. They worked with me to craft a look that was flawless and felt absolutely perfect, using high-quality products that not only looked stunning but held up beautifully throughout the day.

On the wedding day, things didn’t go exactly as planned, and we found ourselves unexpectedly behind schedule. Despite the time crunch, Tami, Sierra, and Nia remained calm, composed, and focused, working their magic to ensure I was ready on time and looking my absolute best. Their ability to manage the unexpected while keeping everyone relaxed and comfortable speaks volumes about their expertise in the industry.

I didn’t have a bridal party, but I had a special group of “get-ready gals” that included my younger sister, best friend, and two nieces. Tami and her team treated everyone with such care, ensuring we all looked incredible and felt confident. They even touched up the groom to make sure he wasn’t shiny in pictures—a small but thoughtful gesture that truly shows Tami’s unmatched attention to detail.

Tami and Sierra stayed for touch-ups throughout key moments of the day, making adjustments as needed to keep me looking flawless—from my first look to our grand entrance at dinner. Their sweet and accommodating nature, combined with their extraordinary talent, made me feel like the best version of myself.

We were thrilled to welcome them to stay and enjoy a nice meal as a small thank-you for all their hard work and dedication. If you’re looking for a professional, talented, and genuinely kind team to make your wedding day (or any special occasion) stress-free and unforgettable, look no further—book Tami now! Her expertise, high-quality products, and ability to make you feel like a star are truly unmatched.

Here are a (4) four guest-provided and I updated this to include (8) eight professional snapshots (by Derek Lapsley) to give you an idea of their stunning work. Tami and her team made my day magical, and I will forever be grateful for their artistry and care.

The Dream Team You Want on Your Wedding Morning

Getting your makeup done for your wedding can feel scary and stressful but I couldn’t have dreamed up a better beauty team if I tried.

I chose Tami because I loved her ability to create an elevated, natural look and was drawn to her use of clean products. It’s a total game changer not feeling like you’re wearing thick, heavy makeup (or worrying you’ll wake up with five million zits the next day).

What you don’t always see in the photos, though, is everything else Tami brings to the table. She radiates joy and love, and she made the entire weekend feel calm and fun. She even came for my rehearsal look as a “dry run,” which allowed her team to set up early for the wedding morning—meaning we got to sleep in a bit more (a gift in itself!).

She kept everyone perfectly on schedule without us even noticing, and every single person felt beautiful and confident. She’s open to feedback, has great suggestions if you want them, and thinks about things you wouldn’t even realize as a bride (like whether you care if a bridesmaid has a similar hairstyle).

I truly felt like I was in the best hands with Tami and her team. I wish I could buy her homemade products in a store, they’re that good. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone.

From the start of reaching out Tami I knew I wanted to hire her. Her communication was extraordinary through the whole process. She was very accommodating and truly such a kind and genuine person!

The BEST on the Central Coast

Tami and her team are the most amazing people you will ever meet. In addition to that, their work is incredible. I wouldn't have trusted anyone else doing my hair and makeup for my wedding in October. When I say stunning, I mean STUNNING!
When a schedule change happened for the day of, Tami was on top of it, redid the schedule immediately, and added in something special because of the last minute change. Her flexibility and responsiveness were superior.
Tami's whole team was phenomenal and made our morning so special. I cannot thank them enough!

Best Experience!!

Tami and her team were incredible! Starting with the booking process Tami was very responsive. I had a few questions I wanted to ask and she was available for a phone call. I don't live in the area so I booked Tami and her team before doing a trial and scheduled my hair and make-up trial before my engagement photos. I was definitely nervous before the trial since makeup is such a big part of the day, but I walked out feeling more confident than ever! Tami's makeup trial process is amazing! She goes through everything in detail and makes sure you're happy with all aspects of the makeup (eyebrows, eyes, lips). She makes it feel really comfortable to provide feedback and can adjust quickly as needed! She then took the time to write very detailed notes that she could reference on the day of. I loved my make-up leaving the trial! Sierra did my hair for the wedding and the trial and she was amazing as well. Her presence is very calm but she is very professional and truly listens to what you want. For the wedding day, the team had a whole set up with everything including lights and chairs. Everyone was very professional and timely and my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup!! I would definitely recommend Tami and her team!!

Tami is wonderful & SO skilled!

This recommendation comes so easily, as hiring Tami was one of the absolute best choices I made for my wedding. From the early messaging back and forth, all the way up to the day of my wedding, Tami was a dream to work with. She’s so sweet, helpful and accommodating… she just really made the whole process as easy as possible. Then, on the day of my bridal makeup trial, she proved her skills and talent! Not only did she make me feel more beautiful and “myself” than I had in years… possibly ever; she was willing to try different colors and tweak different aspects until it was just right. One thing I was most concerned about are the acne scars on my cheeks, and I let her know this and that I’d like to conceal them as much as possible but also explained that I didn’t want the foundation to look cake-y. And I don’t know what kind of sorcery she did but my skin looked fantastic, and that confidence honestly was everything I could’ve hoped for as a bride. Lastly, one other thing that was a really cool bonus when working with Tami is that she taught me something about my specific skin tone & undertone that has frustrated me my whole life and has ultimately changed the way I do my makeup with huge benefits, and for that I’m eternally grateful. So, should you hire Tami Bernard as your makeup artist for your wedding (or any other big event)? Yes! You won’t find anyone sweeter, more knowledgeable or more skilled.. that I’m certain of.
