Wedding Hair & Makeup in San Jose

Can I just say…Thao is amazing and I loved how she captured everything I wanted. I was looking for a MUA to make me look like a baddass ABG & I was able to book with Thao a week before my sisters wedding! Thao was very accommodating. I had to be ready for my sister‘s tea ceremony by 9 AM so she was able to fit me in to do my hair and make up at 6:30 AM and we were done by 8:15. I love how Thao made me feel very comfortable and very welcome. She’s so fun to talk to! My hair and make up lasted all day, even after a 2 hour nap & I love the little touch up kit she gave me! I definitely recommend Thao for your next occasion!

I'm so happy that I booked Linda for my wedding! She was so professional and courteous, and responded promptly whenever we communicated. The agreement was for my two bridesmaids + MIL, and she gave them beautiful natural makeup looks. My MOH wanted to style me herself, but after a little struggling, we asked if Linda could style my hair as well. She really went above and beyond by agreeing, and I'm so thankful to her. Everyone gave lovely compliments at the wedding, so her work really speaks for itself. Linda is worth every penny and more!

Trial * Make Up Trial: I was looking for a makeup artist who does a light, natural look since I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup on a day to day basis. Nicole did exactly that! * Hair Trial: I wanted a half up, half down, with very curly hair since my curls tend to fall out at the end of the night. The hair clips that I bought wasn’t what I had envisioned so Nicole suggested fresh baby breath instead which was the perfect small touch I was looking for. Day Of * Nicole, Danielle, and Silvia arrived at the venue on time. They each had their own hair/make up station. Even though we had 22 services, they stayed on schedule and it never felt rushed, always at ease. Everyone looked gorgeous and loved how their hair and makeup turned out! Overall * Nicole is so sweet, kind, and personable. She made me feel so calm and comfortable at both the trial and the day of. I would 1000% highly recommend her for both your wedding day hair and make up as she did a fabulous job! Thank you so much, Nicole!

Amy was an absolute joy to work with. She was a recommendation from a friend, and when I initially reached out to her, she was professional, prompt, and even offered to do a phone call with me so we could get a feel for each other. I don’t typically wear much makeup and I’ve had… mediocre experiences with wedding makeup in the past as part of the bridal party. I voiced these concerns to Amy during my trial, and together we came up with a game plan for a look that made me feel gorgeous while still looking like me. On the Big Day, Amy and her second makeup artist were on-time and simply flew through all the bridesmaids. We were ahead of the timeline the whole morning, which helped start the day on a more relaxing note. I was thrilled with my final look; my hair and makeup lasted literally all night, except for the lip gloss (which is normal, and she provided a touch up for, which was perfect!). I truly can’t recommend Amy enough for future brides!

If you are thinking of hair and make-up for a wedding or ANYTHING, you have to call Carolyn! She is AMAZING. She did my make-up and hair for my wedding last month (I'm sorry, I'm a slacker with this review), and I can't say enough about her. The eye lashes are the best best best!!!! She's wonderful to work with, she is incredibly patient, and really works with you to make you look incredible. I know this sounds dorky, but I still can't believe how beautifulI look in my wedding photos! I don't wear a lot of make-up, so I was worried about looking too made up, but Carolyn listened to me and made me look just like me, but BETTER. I had a traditional Vietnamese wedding, so I had 2 outfits, with a freaking headdress to deal with, AND I needed my hair and make-up to last at least 12 hours, and it did! Carolyn also did my hair-make-up for my engagement photos and was so patient with me when I freaked out because of the windy day photos. Even when we didn't do the fake eye lashes, she made my eyes look amazing. It was really wonderful to work with her. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Des was Amazing on our Wedding Day!! She came in with the best energy and really helped keep me comfortable, calm, and happy. She was on top of the time to keep us on track. Along with my makeup and hair, she also took care of my daughter and mother. She really cares that you feel your best. My makeup was exactly what I wanted for our day. She is the best!!

I cannot say enough good things about Bare Wax Lounge. It is a must do on the checklist for planning not only the big day but any event! Wendy is a true professional who cares about her clients' individual needs. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable and empowered with some beauty/maintenance tips/tricks. Love the wax lounge- great location and so cute! Perfect for a small group get together!

Delilah did a great job, make up was great. Fast, works well under pressure, absolute best. Thanks Dee!

These ladies were professional, kind, and very efficient with their time! They arrived to the venue with all their tools ready and everything was separated per bridesmaid for sanitary purposes. Both were friendly to chat but didnt lose track of time and kept things moving. I would highly recommend them both for any event!

Tiffany was a wonderful hair and makeup artist! She nailed the look I wanted — soft glam while looking completely myself. She was a warm presence during the wedding morning and extremely detail oriented, taking her time to work with my features and skin tone. I felt completely comfortable all day! All of my guests complimented both my hair and makeup! Most importantly, Tiffany was flexible and willing to make adjustments between the trial and the wedding. After I showed her photos of how my makeup held up over the course of the trial day, we switched to airbrush makeup for the wedding day. I felt super supported throughout the entire process and cannot recommend Tiffany enough!
