    San Francisco City Hall - EARLY Morning Appointment

    Fiona is INCREDIBLE ❤️❤️❤️

    In my questionnaire, Fiona asked me what my worst fear about our wedding day was. I answered honestly, that it was that one of our vendors would oversleep and be late because we had such an early appointment! She laughed, saying she does this all the time.

    We had the first appointment at SF City Hall -- 9:00am on Friday, photos starting at 7:45am. Highly recommend doing this if you want the best chance of getting the grand staircase to yourself, like we did. Indeed, Fiona met me at the crack of dawn at 5:00AM. She was already in her studio waiting for me 😊

    I did a trial with her a...

    Fiona and her team made my wedding beautiful!

    Fiona took time to listen to my suggestions and ask questions, She made my bridesmaids look amazing! The bridesmaids hair turned out fabulous and paired with their makeup they were all knockouts!

    Fiona made my dream come true - i wanted to look flawless - with her airbrush make up, hair, lashes, I looked better than i ever could have expected.

    Thank you Fiona!

    She was amazing! She had a full day ahead of her... She did me and my 5 bridesmaids. Me and my girls have known each other for a loooong time so we have a tendency to get crazy and make all kinds of jokes. She got right in on the jokes and had lots of fun with us. Her make up jobs were flawless and I felt gorgeous! I would use her again for a special event in an instant! I highly recommend booking Fiona!

    Perfect Wedding Hair and Makeup Experience

    Fiona was an absolute pleasure to work with! Before our trial, I shared some sample styles I liked, and she completely understood my vision and executed it beautifully.

    On the day of our wedding, we had a long sunrise photoshoot, and she showed up at 4 AM to do our hair and makeup. Since the photoshoot was extended, I asked her to accompany me for touch-ups, and she went above and beyond my expectations. She not only ensured my makeup stayed flawless but also helped with my dress and veil throughout the shoot, which was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated.

    After the photoshoot, she had only a short break before jumping right back in to do makeup for...

    Great for modern minimal aesthetic. Great for asian brides. Highly recommend as HMU artist for wedding

    Fiona went above and beyond for our wedding. We hired Fiona for our engagement shoot and wedding. There were some last minute changes as several of the bridesmaids wanted to add on last minute HMU and Fiona was accommodating and flexible. She is a perfectionist and I loved my hair and makeup on our wedding day. It was important to me to hire someone who is familiar and comfortable with makeup for asian eyes and also did modern minimal makeup and Fiona delivered on both. She came earlier on the wedding day for my bridesmaids and also stayed later and added on eyelash services and placed my veil and last minute touch ups before she left. I was complimented...

    Fiona and her team were fabulous. Fiona managed to build a look that was exactly I had envisioned with my non-specific guidance, my bridesmaids and family looked beautiful, and everything stayed put the whole day! Highly recommend.

    Fiona did such an amazing job! I was in San Francisco for the night, and leaving for Yosemite the next morning to take anniversary photos with my husband. Fiona came to my hotel in San Francisco to do my hair and makeup, and I absolutely loved both of them! She knew exactly what I was asking for even when I didn’t think I was putting it in the right words. She was also super sweet and made me feel at ease the entire time. And I think her work truly speaks for itself. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Fiona!

    Fiona is amazing and work is even more wonderful. She made me look absolutely flawless for both my engagement and wedding photos, so much so that I was getting contacted by old friends on Facebook just to ask who did my make-up.

    When I was searching for a make-up artist, my biggest fear was that I would end up looking like a big-eyed Asian porcelain doll or have make-up caked on me so much that my husband wouldn't recognize me. But when I saw Fiona's portfolio with her more natural and subtle style, I knew she was the one! She understood my concerns, knew that I wanted a natural look that highlighted my strengths, and she delivered...

    Fiona is FANTASTIC and amazing! She did both makeup and hair for my engagement session, city hall ceremony, and on my big day. I am very happy with her GORGEOUS work!

    She gave me professional feedback after I told her what my visions were and showed her some pictures on Pinterest. I usually don’t wear a lot of makeup and want to have the natural look. Fiona listened to my needs and knew exactly what to do.

    I received a lot of compliments from family and friends on my big day. I would highly recommend Fiona to be your styling artist!

    Fiona is amazing! She does incredible work that plays to the strengths and style of the individual. Her and an assistant did my bridal hair and makeup, hair and makeup for my three sisters, and hair for both mothers at my wedding. She did a beautiful braid for my Indian ceremony and a fantastic hair change after the ceremony.

    She is exactly the kind of stylist you want for your wedding. She listened to what I wanted, personally helped select makeup colors that fit my skin tone (no easy task for my dark Indian complexion), and was a calming and reassuring presence during the wedding. I can honestly say that I don't think I will ever look that good again. She was worth every penny.

    I usually don't wear a lot of makeup and was very particular about finding a makeup artist for our wedding that could provide a natural, yet classy, dressed up look. After looking through tons of photos, my husband and I decided Fiona was it. She made me feel very comfortable and did an AMAZING job for the wedding. I couldn't be happier with it. She also did the makeup for 6 other members of the wedding party, who were all pleased with how it turned out. Fiona has a great personality to work with and is an expert in what she does.

    Fiona is amazing! I'm from Miami and I decided on San Francisco for a destination wedding. Choosing a MUA and a hairstylist for my wedding from thousands of miles away was scary... I contacted Fiona amongst many other MUA and asked them many questions. Choosing Fiona was the best decision I made. She was quick in replying to my emails, she got to my hotel on time, & she was extremely nice.... NOT TO MENTION MY MAKEUP AND HAIR CAME OUT FANTASTIC!

    Fiona's did my engagement shoot and wedding hair and makeup. They were two different looks and they both looked fabulous. She is very detailed and artistic in her approach. On the wedding day she also did my maid of honor and my mother's makeup and they both looked great. She explains what she's doing sometimes about what she thinks works for your age and skin types and you can tell she really knows what she's talking about. I think she's well worth her fee and I learned a lot about myself in the process. I couldn't be happier about my look on the big day, I'd definitely work with Fiona again. In fact, I am probably going to take a makeup class with her.

    I had quite the headache looking for a hair / makeup artist in the bay area. Everyone here charges your first born for the service, which I wasn't expecting. I found Fiona though, and I was very pleased with her work! I wanted a very natural makeup look, not caked on, and a curled half-updo, and I expressed concern with frizzyness. Fiona did a trial for me many months in advance, and since I loved the outcome I booked her. She arrived on time the day of, and brought 2 team members along with her since we had several girls booked for hair / makeup. Everyone was pleased with their looks, and they lasted all night. I LOVED how...

    I cannot recommend Fiona & her team enough. Fiona went above and beyond for me, from meeting me at my house for a trial hair and make-up session (twice!) to going to San Jose for me to pick up extensions because our local store didn't have what she recommended. Her calming voice & demeanor are a plus too. I really liked that she was willing to hear my concerns and what I liked or not too. When I told her I was skeptical about having such big lashes, she tried different sizes to get the same "wow" effect that she said would look nice in photos - we both won in the end. I trusted her and she didn't disappoint. She made me feel so beautiful on my big day!

    Fiona was not only an awesome makeup artist but also a wonderful person to work with. She's very patient and detail oriented. She's the one who chased me down for schedules, reminding me for hair and skin care, proper hydration and some little stuff before the wedding day! We wanted a modern look with natural makeup but pretty in pictures. My mom and bridal party were very happy with the results! Fiona knows what look good on you and will tell you in a nice but honest way which I really appreciate. I love my makeup so much and am planning to have a makeup lesson with her in July! Thanks Fiona!!

    Fiona was fantastic to work with and I would highly recommend her. She did my make up and hair for my wedding; made me feel beautiful but also not too overly "done". To start, she was very responsive in communication but was also very flexible in accommodating my schedule. Then, she really took the time to listen to what was important to me and identified what I liked to best prepare for my special day. I don't typically wear makeup and she was able to make me feel comfortable but also special. I provided her samples of my hair and she was able to create great results. Fiona is very friendly and just a pleasure to work with. If...

    South Asians - Look elsewhere

    This review is for Joey. Writing this after two weeks to ensure I don't let emotions get in the way because I had strong, sad emotions on the day of. I had Joey as my artist. It was for my city hall wedding. Summary below. Detailed review followed.

    Tl:dr: South Asians - find somebody else. Please.
    The eye makeup was great but that was about it. The complexion matching and color correction was pretty bad. I have a pretty nice skin with no acne or scars - with one caveat. I'm south Asian so I have dark circles and slightly darkened skin around my lips. And Joey had neither the right products or the experience to...
