  Stunning, Reassuring, & Fun!!

  I cannot express enough how amazing LIV studios is!!! From the very beginning, they listened attentively to my vision and desires, ensuring that every detail was taken into account. Their ability to adapt and be flexible throughout the entire process was truly commendable.
  
  Not only were these artists incredibly talented, but they also had a genuine passion for their craft. Their expertise was evident in the flawless makeup and stunning hairstyles they created for me and my bridesmaids. Each look was tailored to suit our individual features and personalities.
  
  One of the best parts of working with these artists was the peace of mind they provided. I never once worried about my hair and makeup throughout the entire night. They ensured that everything stayed perfectly in place, allowing me to fully enjoy my special day without any concerns. Their professionalism and attention to detail were truly impressive.
  
  Beyond their exceptional skills, what truly set these artists apart was their warm and friendly personalities. They created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, making the entire experience enjoyable for everyone involved. Their positive energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was evident that they genuinely cared about making us feel our best.
  
  I cannot recommend them highly enough to any bride-to-be or anyone in need of makeup and hair services for a special occasion. They will undoubtedly exceed your expectations and leave you feeling like a true queen. We were in great hands, and I am forever grateful for their incredible work!!

  Authentic hair and makeup for authentic people!

  I can't say enough great things about the team with LIV studios, especially my hair and makeup artist, Melina. She was a wonderful personality to talk and giggle with during both the trial and the actual event, and I felt like I was just spending time with another friend. She listened to my requests and absolutely nailed my hair and makeup. Most of the time I feel that makeup is often overdone for the bridal party, but I can happily say this was not the case for our wedding. Most of my bridesmaids don't often wear makeup, and not a single person looked overdone or out of character, but rather just elevated versions of themselves. I was very pleased with the professionalism, patience, and hospitality that I felt from the team, and I absolutely recommend using them for your special day!

  Perfection!

  My hair and makeup looked ABSOLUTELY amazing on my wedding day thanks to Liv Studios. My hair and makeup was done by Melina. She was sweet and gentle with my hair and makeup alike, she also did my mother's makeup and the makeup of the grooms mom. My mom has alopecia (no hair or eyebrows) and never wears makeup, and she was nervous about getting professional makeup. Melina was patient and kind and worked with what she wanted, and put eyelashes on her that stayed all night. It was the first time my mom had eyelashes in 30 years, I could tell she felt beautiful. Maricela did my 3 bridesmaids makeup and they all looked stunning! We all got fully glammed up and we all felt so beautiful all night.

  Hair and Makeup

  i Kristine,
  I just want to personally thank you and your team for all your hard work. Everything turned out so beautiful on the day of my wedding. I am beyond grateful for everything and how your team took care of me and my bridesmaids. For you ladies thinking of hiring LIV Studios, I would recommend to anyone. I recommend doing a hair and makeup mock trial to see if you can change any hair or makeup for the day of your wedding. I am so glad I did because I was able to see how beautiful my hair and makeup was going to look for the day of. I seriously was so obsessed with how everything turned out and had no complaints. Melina you did such an amazing job everyone was obsessed with my look and I am so grateful for everything. I will be returning to you in the future. Thank you all again!

  Book with LIV Studios!

  I got married two weeks ago and contracted Liv Studios for hair and makeup services for myself and my bridal party (8 people total). It was very easy to contact Kristine to get a quote, sign the contract, and ask questions. She created a schedule for me two months in advance to share with my bridal party! LIV studios sent three artists to help us out: Melina, Felix, and Lily.
  
  Let me start by saying that my bridal party had the best time with these artists! They arrived on time, quickly set up their equipment, and started service right away. They are all so friendly and kind and made us all feel comfortable. They were able to work off photos provided by the bridal party of hair and makeup the day-of and did a beautiful job executing everyone’s requested look.
  
  Melina provided my hair and makeup services and I was so happy with the way everything turned out. We did a quick consultation as I did not book a trial prior to my wedding day, and everything came out perfectly! We got married in the middle of a heatwave in a church with no air conditioning and it sprinkled rained during our reception. Through all that, my makeup remained flawless!! When I looked at myself at the end of the night, I was truly amazed- my hair and makeup looked exactly as it did when Melina had just finished. I got so many compliments throughout the night. My bridal party could not have looked better and could not have been any happier. Book your services through LIV!

  All of our looks turned out fabulous, photographed super well, and, lasted all day

  (from my wife:) I hired LIV for my wedding hair and makeup (along with my bridesmaids, mother, and MIL).
  Starting with the trial, I had saved a few different hair styles on pinterest and Sammy was able to try out a couple so I really could get an idea of what I wanted. I also am someone that is incompetent with doing hair or makeup and didn’t really know what I wanted (except to be pretty!). She was able to make suggestions and build up/down to something I felt comfortable with but, also would photograph well. Leading up to the big day, Kristine was super responsive via email about changing the number of girls, timing, etc.
  On the day of, Sammy, Kristine, and Melina all arrived right on time, made the space we had work for everyone to set up, and they were patient with each of my girls. Some showed up late, weren’t sure what they wanted, etc. and each artist worked with them to figure out the perfect look. My MIL specifically was so nervous and at the end of the day felt and looked radiant. All of our looks turned out fabulous, photographed super well, and, lasted all day throughout an outdoor wedding with a heatwave in the 90’s. We even jumped in a pool at the end of the night and our makeup was still totally intact!

  Absolutely Stunning

  The girls at LIV Studios created the perfect look for myself and my bridal party! After discussing with the owner what my vision was, she paired me perfectly with Sammie who gave me the most beautiful and sparkly wedding day glam I could ever dream of. Not only did she have me looking gorgeous, she rocked it on the all the looks for my bridal party too! The prices were inexpensive but the experience was priceless! Thank you girls so much for helping my vision come to life!!

  Everything I wanted!

  Kristine and Sammie made my wedding beauty "journey" a dream! They showed up at my hotel room door at 6:45 am on the day of the wedding, and we had an absolutely wonderful morning hanging out and becoming gorgeous. I had a wide variety of "styles" in my bridal party, and they accommodated everyone and made them all feel gorgeous. Most importantly, my makeup lasted all day and we all looked absolutely perfect.

  Wedding 10.19.19

  Kristine and her team are amazing!!! From the beginning, Kristine was always so kind and accommodating. Because planning a wedding on your own can be crazy, I didn’t have time to do a trial. I was little hesitant, but once I met Melina the morning of the wedding I knew I was in good hands. Not only was she so sweet, but she’s so talented. And she was very patient with me and my mom which was very appreciated. All in all, would 100% recommend LIV Studios. It was such a great choice. And I hope to use thyem again in the future. Thank you Kristine and Melina for making me feel so at ease, beautiful and special on one of the best days of my life! ❤️❤️

  Beautiful hair and makeup and super efficient!

  I had 8 bridesmaids and two moms who all needed their hair and makeup done for the wedding so I knew how important it was to pick a good hair and makeup vendor. They were definitely up for the task. Communicating with Kristine was so easy and she was very responsive. The day of went down without a hitch. Everyone looked beautiful and glowing and their makeup definitely lasted through the day and night!

  Professional, courteous and extremely prepared.

  I would highly recommend this team.(Kristina Duke) My daughter has had her make up done several times. When you find someone that works with your requests and listens to your expectations you keep coming back. When it’s an important occasion (prom
  And senior portraits) and want to make sure it’s spot on this team rates high.

  LIV Studios rocks!

  Kristine was amazing. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and then delivered flawlessly. Makeup lasted all day through several location changes and under the glare of photoshoot lights. Plus, she's a lovely person who makes you feel comfortable and keeps you engaged the whole time. Highly recommend!

  Perfect choice!

  I could not have had a better hair/make up experience for my Santa Barbara wedding! Kristine (the owner) responded to my inquiry quickly and set up a phone call to discuss what I was looking for. She was very warm and friendly and provided clear information on pricing and expectations.
  
  I was having a very small and low key city hall wedding, so I didn't put much time and effort into planning -- hair and make up included. I didn't schedule a trial run and had only sent Kristine a few inspo photos. The artist was still able to capture my desired look (soft and natural, still looking like myself) perfectly. She was lovely to work with -- calm, kind, professional.
  
  I had placed inquiries with other Santa Barbara hair and make up artists, who had exorbitant prices, questionable reviews, or didn't respond at all. I'm really glad I went with LIV Studios. It was a seamless and stress-free experience.

  Very professional and quick. Kristine did an amazing job making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day. Her products lasted all day and never once did I need to do a touch up. I’ve seen her do natural and glamorous looks and they all look incredible. She has the skills to meet anyone’s desired look.
