Wedding Hair & Makeup in Monterey

After having a trial done with Aralee, I just knew she was the perfect match for me! Everything went so smooth during my wedding day. She had me and my 5 girls done on time. My makeup lasted all night!! I also got many compliments throughout the whole night! I will definitely be booking again with her for any upcoming events!

Katlyn and her team worked their magic for the hair and makeup for my wedding in July! Katlyn was super kind and accommodating when scheduling my hair and makeup trial, and did her best to make sure I looked how I wanted to for my wedding! On the day of, her and her team were able to complete a variety of looks including my wavy half-up look, all four bridesmaids with twisted messy low buns, big beach waves for my sister in law, and voluminous half-up looks for the moms, with a more natural/soft glam makeup look! They were kind and patient when asked for minor changes. It all looked gorgeous in person and on camera! Not only did our hair and makeup look beautiful, but it stayed for the whole night! I am not kidding you, our hair and makeup DID NOT MOVE even after sweating and dancing until midnight! My sister in law and I still talk about asking them about the hairspray that they use because my hair notoriously does not hold curls very well, and my waves stayed all night without feeling crunchy. Katlyn and her team did wonderful work, and I am so happy to have found them!

Angie did such a great job for my wedding hair. I would highly recommend her she is very kind & professional.

Brittany was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She brought my vision to life and somehow made it even better than I imagined—both my hair and makeup were flawless and perfect for my Big Sur elopement. Her pricing was well worth the value for the quality and experience she delivers. She was incredibly professional, calm, and positive, which made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. I felt confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of!

Alejandra and her team did hair and make up for me, my sister, and my mom on my wedding day. She teuly does magic! She and her assistant created such a calm and relaxing environment and they did beautiful work and exactly as we wanted. It was raining on my wedding day, but my hair and make up didn’t move a single bit. Even my photographer was asking who did my hair and makeup. Thanks Alejandra! You are the best.

Marissa is so great at what she does! She did my wedding day makeup and my bridesmaids- I showed her a few pictures of what I was going for and she did even better than the inspo (even without me doing a trial beforehand). The makeup wore very well all night and it complimented our faces and skin tones perfectly! I went for full glam but natural tones for the eyes and loved how it turned out. It didn’t look too heavy but also covered up everything that needed covering. She also is fast!! She was way ahead of schedule without compromising quality.

I had a wonderful experience with KaLa as my makeup artist for the best and important day of my life - my wedding day! She is so friendly, personable, and professional about every single touch of makeup. KaLa is truly invested in making you look the most beautiful ever and adjusts makeup according to your style preferences. I recommend KaLa, who goes above and beyond, and does it with a big heart and smile. Thank you so much!

Joette was the hair & make-up artist for both myself and my MOH. We planned our California wedding from Florida, and I had to choose my hair and make-up artist without being able to meet in person first. Joette was very easy to reach and responsive. She was able to do my trial on the Thursday before the wedding, which was perfect for my tight schedule. Both myself and my MOH are not regular make-up wearers, so it was important that we didn't feel 'cakey' and uncomfortable. Joette had no trouble at all finding me a natural and beautiful look! She also did the perfect hairstyle, which I really commend her for because I didn't give her much to go on, yet she nailed it on the first try during our trial. Both my MOH and I were comfortable and absolutely gorgeous. Joette's shop is also super cute, which is a bonus :-) Highly recommend Joette for both hair and make up!

Carina went above & beyond her hired services. I was that bride who couldn't make up my mind for the life of me on hair and makeup... but Carina just went with it so smoothly. I changed my mind not once, but TWICE on hair & makeup, and Carina made sure to get everything right, so that there would be no unfulfilled needs on wedding day for my look. For that, I'm incredibly grateful. Before our first trial, we had a phone call where I got to tell Carina my vision for my wedding day. And then I sent her photos of hair and makeup for inspiration. Pro tip: for all the women who don't normally wear makeup on the daily... do a lot of browsing and get familiar with what you're looking for before you show up for your trial! At Carina's studio, it was just the two of us, and Carina spent the time she needed to understand the exact look I was going for. Another pro tip: Ask questions if you need to! She's very accommodating in helping you understand things like, what the difference is between air brush vs. powder, etc. At the end of the trial, she took notes and pictures of me so that she could replicate that look on my wedding day. On wedding day, her team made my mom, best friend, and I feel so special and beautiful! They came to us fully prepared for any low lighting (like my get-ready spot at the venue!) and with a great attitude overall. And the cherry on top: I got a little emergency to-go kit filled with makeup and other travel sized touch up things. Would definitely recommend Carina and her team!

From the moment Karen and I spoke I knew she's the one I wanted to hire for my Wedding hair and makeup. Karen is quick to respond, the utmost professional, and truly brings the energy into everything she does. I told her I'm a type A and she stated she is as well, I can confirm she's a type A bride's DREAM. She understands the importance of pacing during your wedding day and makes sure to educate you on the importance of extra time so you can relax and fully enjoy getting ready in the bridal suite, also she's ALWAYS EARLY! She's so fun to talk to and be around. She's adaptable and let us add on a couple services day of. My eyes watered a lot due to allergies and Karen was so kind and calm and kept re applying things until they were perfect. Thank you so much Karen we have truly enjoyed working with you and can't wait to hire you again!
