    I’m so happy that I found It’s a Date! As someone who didn’t want to look “done up” and wanted a natural look for my wedding day, I was really nervous about getting my hair and makeup done. Those nerves were totally misplaced! Mary was easygoing from the minute I met her for the trial and was perfectly laid back on the day of the wedding. She worked with me to find a makeup look that worked for me, and even convinced me to wear false lashes (amazing!). My makeup turned out great and stayed put for the whole event, through sweat and sun and lots of tears. I loved the updo that Mary did for me at the trial, and was even more impressed with the lovely waterfall braid she did for me when I changed my mind at the last minute on the day of the wedding. She was very confident and accommodating, and is clearly very knowledgeable about what she does! I would absolutely recommend this salon to any bride who wants to feel like the best version of herself on her wedding day. Thank you Mary and It’s a Date!!

    Deanna was so great. She listened to what I wanted and made my ideas into reality. She was easy to work with and just so nice! She was on time, and worked fast which I appreciated since the day was so hectic! My mother and bridesmaid had their hair done as well and were very pleased with their updos. I would highly recommend It's a Date, especially Deanna!

    I had the pleasure of working with Katie Donaghy from It's a Date at the Powder Room for both my hair and makeup trial run before my engagement photos as well as for my wedding day. Katie and her assistant worked extremely hard ensuring that myself and numerous other family members got their dream hair and makeup. Katie is such a fun person to talk with as she is working on you and really listens to what you are envisioning for your wedding day look. She looked at pictures of my wedding dress, ideas I had and also gave her most welcomed input and advice for what she thought would look best and most enhance the entire look and feel of the day. My hair and makeup were perfect; if only I could have Katie with me every day! :) I don't know how she did it but my hair and makeup stayed intact through the entire day, even after pictures outside in hot weather, dancing and of course some happy tears. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Katie and I am very appreciative and pleased with how she made me look.

    Katie is the best!!! We had a great time at my trial appointment and she completely got the look I was going for. After looking at my trial pictures for a while I decided I wanted a hair style that was fuller and didn't even tell her until I sat down in the chair on my wedding day and it wasn't an issue, she rolled with it and made me look so beautiful! My makeup was so light and natural with that pop of glam I was looking for, it photographed amazingly well. Such a blast to work with, I would use Katie again for other special events! I highly recommend the girls from It's a Date at the Powder Room!

    Exquisite hair & makeup!

    After my original hair & makeup artist backed out three weeks before the event, Dee from The Powder Room saved the day! Tisha and her partner were even better than our original vendor!! Tisha took the time to understand my vision, and executed it FLAWLESSLY. I have never felt more beautiful nor more myself than I did on my wedding day. I don’t know if anyone could have done it better.

    I'm so grateful for The Powder Room's flexibility, professionalism, and artistry - I’d recommend them (especially Tisha!) to any Sonoma Bride!!

    Would recommend!

    I worked with The Powder Room for hair and makeup for my wedding and loved how it turned out! Ashley did both my mom’s and my hair and makeup. She was on time, listened to what we were looking for, and everything turned out great. I would recommend The Powder Room to other brides!

    This review is long overdue but I wanted to take the time to thank DeeAnna for her excellent service. I had about 5 consultations with other hairdressers/makeup artists before finding her and she was by far the best. She did a great job listening to what I wanted and helping figure out what would look best on me. I really wanted someone to look at my features and tell me what would work best and she did just that. I think that is really hard to do and goes to show just how great she is at her job. She is really talented and I would highly recommend her.

    I know most all of these ladies personally, so I know that they are committed to doing beautiful work. All of them can come and do your hair/makeup at your house - so there's no need to travel to the salon AND your house AND the site AND the church. You can stay comfortable at your own place (or wherever) - that was a huge plus for me.

    Deeanna Reese at It's A Date at the Powder Room was spectacular! I brought a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like for the wedding - and she got it flawlessly! It was one of the hottest days on record and she and Jennifer worked feverishly on five bridesmaids and me (hair and make-up). My girls were stunning and I received so many compliments on my own hair and make-up!

    Katie did my hair and make-up for my wedding, and she and her team also did my mom and all my bridesmaids.

    They were AWESOME. I am not someone who normally wears makeup or does much of anything with my hair - so I wasn't terribly comfortable with the whole process. Katie was fantastic all the way through. She did two trials with me before the big day, and was super fun and helpful all the way through.

    All my girls loved what she did - I can't recommend her highly enough. She's a total pro - and her low-stress, "everything is under control" demeanor is exactly what you want on the morning of the big day!

    Amazing Hair Stylist!

    We were very impressed with our hairstylist for our Sonoma Wedding! We received so many compliments on Mary D's work. She absolutely nailed my bridal up-do and put me at ease the entire time. Our wedding party has not stopped talking about how impressed they were with her services. The Powder Room is responsive and easy to work with. Thank you for making us feel so glamorous!

    DeeAnna is amazing

    I worked with DeeAnna (and 2 assistants for my bridesmaids/moms) and I feel so lucky! I have quite a few allergies to makeup products and DeeAnna was so diligent and thoughtful in helping me find products that would work for the wedding day. We also did 2 hair trials as I just couldn't quite decide what I wanted and on the day of she really helped get the look just as I wanted, making me feel like me! She and her team are the ultimate professionals, moving quickly through all 9 of us but also making it fun! Thank you thank you!

    Beautiful hair & makeup!

    My bridesmaids and I were very pleased with The Powder Room! Jenifer and Karla did a great job with all of our hair and makeup. They listened to what each of us wanted and offered suggestions. Highly recommended for your Sonoma/Napa area wedding!

    My beautician was awesome! Her name is Carrie. She was so patient and helpful. At the preview she listened to all my requests and did a complete practice. Then, when I changed my mind on the wedding day she was able to create a beautiful hairdo. She came to my home to do all our hair/make-up and she came as early as I anxiously requested. She rocks!

    Carrie did a great job on my hair and make-up. It was amazing, and she totally listend to what I wanted because I kind of changed things after the first trial! But it was no problem and she nailed it. Also I have thin hair that is hard to work with but she made it look great. All the bridesmaids were really happy too.

    Best Wedding Hair & Makeup Team!!

    Ashley and her team did an AMAZING job for my wedding on 10.30.2021!! I could not have asked for a better experience. Me and my bridesmaids hair and makeup were perfect! The team was also the most efficient wedding hair and makeup team I have ever seen. Overall such a perfect experience and I am so glad I had them to help do my hair and makeup on the best day of my life! :)

    I had a wonderful experience at the Powder Room for my bridal hair and makeup. The wedding coordinator was extremely professional and accommodating in not only fitting me into their already busy schedule with only a two month notice, but also when I needed to change the time of my appointment for the day of our wedding.

    At the Powder Room I had the pleasure of working with Corrinne. When we first met for my trial we discussed my dress, my likes and dislikes, and went over a few photos that I had brought along. Then she worked her magic. In just under two hours Corrinne had taken my hair and makeup vision and made it into a reality. The wedding day was even easier and I couldn’t have been happier; she definitely exceeded my expectations. Corrinne is incredibly professional, easy to talk to, and fun to work with!

    Overall, my experience at the Powder Room was incredibly positive and I am grateful for all the hard work that went into making our wedding day even more special!

    I had Mary come to our wedding venue to do both my hair and make-up. Since I was doing a destination wedding, I was not able to do a run through before the wedding or meet Mary before the day of. I was extremely happy with everything on the day of. She was very nice and great at offering suggestions and taking all of my feedback. My make-up looked flawless and my hair was exactly as I wanted it.

    Timeless and Classy wedding hair and makeup

    I didn't know it was possible to feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day, and that wouldn't be possible without The Powder Room--specifically Heather Romero and her assistant Sherri. I came out of my trial not feeling great about where we landed on my hair. I sent Heather some photos and gave really specific feedback and she listened to everything I said and totally exceeded expectations on the wedding day. My hair and makeup were flawless all night--no touchups needed! My bridesmaids also looked stunning and everyone was really happy with their experience working with Heather and Sherri.

    My partner and I got married in Santa Rosa last weekend and had Corinne and Sheilah from The Powder Room do our hair and make up – they did such a wonderful job! They came to our respective hotel rooms on time, well prepared and stuck to the timeline that we gave them perfectly. Both my partner and I couldn’t have been happier with the job that they did – we both felt absolutely beautiful and we had no problems throughout a night filled with lots of hugging and kissing and dancing.

    Such a great experience!

    DeeAnna and her team are amazing! They did such an incredible job with the hair and makeup for my wedding. They traveled to our Airbnb which made it so easy on the day. I also highly recommend doing the bridal hair and makeup trial as I wasn't fully sure what I wanted and ended up tweaking a couple things on the day-of. In addition to my bridesmaids, they also did hair and makeup for my sister-in-law, my mom, and a number of my mom's friends who wanted to try it out. Some came armed with inspiration photos and others just asked them to do whatever they thought would look best. Everyone was so happy with the results! DeeAnna wasn't phased by the different ages, hair lengths, style choices, or skin tones of those involved - we were all very impressed. My sister-in-law has been in a lot of weddings and has had mediocre hair/makeup done many times but said that DeeAnna was really one of the best experiences she's had. Our hair and makeup looked great all night! It was a warm day and all I had to do was dab on a little bit of powder once or twice throughout the night if I thought I was getting shiny. I can't recommend The Powder Room enough!

    Katie Donaghy from It's a Date at the Powder Room is truly amazing! She blew me away at my hair and makeup trial with her ability to make my vision come to life quickly and beautifully. On the day of my wedding, she did hair for all three of my bridesmaids, hair and makeup for my mom, and hair and makeup for me. She was incredibly efficient, creative, and sweet, and my whole wedding party was thrilled with the way they looked. My hair and makeup was even more beautiful on the day of the wedding than at the trial, and she made the whole experience stress-free and fun. Katie is a true artist, and she was absolutely a pleasure to work with. I recommend her and the whole salon highly!

    Wonderful!

    I worked with Jen and her team for my wedding in July and they were absolutely a joy to work with! We did a trial run prior to the big day and got to test all different sorts of hairstyles and makeup applications. I sent a ton of feedback to Jen after the appointment, and she took note of everything for the big day! They arrived early and had all hair and makeup done (bride + 6 bridesmaids) on time. The hair and makeup looked great- all hair stayed in place and the makeup wasn’t heavy or cakey. They let us customize our hairstyles so that everyone could do something different. I highly recommend working with Jen and team!
