    Bianca and Katie were amazing! Hair and makeup for all my bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, and myself looked flawless and lasted all night without any touch ups. They were super punctual and also managed to keep us all running on time throughout the day. The best part was that they really listen to what you want while at the same time giving guidance/opinions when needed. Highly recommend the MUAH team!

    Incredible!

    Bianca, Katie, & Kelsey did a fantastic job helping me, & my girls look our best on my wedding day.
    They met us at our venue (Hyatt Carmel Highlands) right on time, were professional, & extremely efficient getting TEN of us ready before 1pm - hair, & makeup. These ladies were so much fun to work with, & my makeup lasted through all of the happy tears.
    Hiring them was the best decision I made for my big day!

    Ethereal and natural

    After a disappointing bridal trial with a different MUA, my wedding coordinator suggested that I contact M.U.A.H and I am so glad she did. Bianca was attentive to my specific concerns: that I didn't want anything too heavy, that I still wanted to look like myself, and that I didn't want strip lashes that would make my big eyes look "buggy". Bianca more than delivered a bridal look that was somehow both ethereal and natural. My search for a MUA was over!!

    On the day of my wedding, several of my bridesmaids who had opted not to have their makeup done professionally, for fear that it would be too heavy or unnatural looking, saw what an incredible job Bianca had done and asked if she had time to do their makeup as well. Bianca was on a tight schedule and understandably was unable to provide the additional services, but I think this speaks to the quality of her craft. I cannot recommend Bianca enough, you would be remiss not to hire M.U.A.H!

    MUAH contributed to my stress-free wedding!

    I was immediately excited about Bianca and her team when Bianca responded to my inquiry within minutes! From my initial questions to the day of my appointment, Bianca was on top of all of it.
    I am very casual & don’t normally do anything for hair & makeup but for my wedding day I wanted to look “put together” but I was also worried about someone doing my makeup & having it so heavy that I would not look like myself. This was not the case with MUAH. Before Bianca applied my makeup she asked if I wanted to keep my freckles visible or if I wanted to cover them. I appreciated this question so much! She kept the make up light, where I didn’t feel uncomfortable. I loved it!
    My hair came out exactly as I had hoped! And it stayed put the entire day! (And the following day, too! - I held on to those curls as long as I could!)
    My hair & makeup inspiration came from her Instagram. She has a wide range of looks, which made it easy to pick the look I wanted.
    I appreciated her professionalism, her tips & the entire experience overall. I wish I could hire her to make me look that great everyday!

    The best of the best!

    Bianca is an absolute gem! As someone who doesn’t wear makeup often, I was nervous about looking too done up—I wanted minimal coverage, a natural look, and most importantly, for my freckles to still show. Bianca truly listened to me and gave me exactly what I asked for! She enhanced my natural beauty rather than covering it up, and I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day.

    I only needed makeup done for my weekday elopement and they were more than happy to accommodate. Bianca even came to my Airbnb, making everything so seamless and stress-free. She is incredibly talented, kind, and professional. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who really listens and enhances your natural beauty, Bianca is the one! Highly recommend!

    Professional, efficient and perfect :)

    My MUAH team was BOMB. I had Kelsey do my hair and Bianca from MUAH do my makeup. These ladies have worked together for a while and you can tell. I call them my MUAH fairy godmothers 🧚🏼‍♀️🧚 because they truly worked MAGIC. I got my MUAH trial done a week or two before my wedding and they both nailed it. I brought hair extensions and pics for inspo for both my hair and makeup. They each listened and used their professional opinions to realize what I wanted and to make me look like a queen. They also were great about asking for feedback and being responsive to your needs- they are all about pleasing YOU! They are both so professional, timely, efficient, friendly, sociable, and BOSS BABES. If you are look for a dream team, look no further, these are your girls!

    Hair and make up

    Bianca and Katie were absolutely amazing! Bianca spent a lot of time during my make up trial to make sure that I was comfortable with the make up and how it looked. She also spent a ton of time explaining to me what each product was for, exactly what would happen the day of the wedding, what time everything would happen, and everything that was included. Katie did a great job with my hair the day of my wedding. It was exactly what I wanted and it held up all night, even with the wind. The make up Bianca did got my wedding was beautiful. It was exactly what I asked for and I felt like I looked like myself just enhanced. She also did a great job with my mom’s make up. I would strongly recommend these women to anyone looking to get hair and make up in the Monterey area. They are phenomenal! Thank you both for helping to make my wedding day the best day it could be.

    A great makeup team!

    I can't say enough great things about Ashlee and her team - they are all incredibly talented and were a pleasure to work with! They were so professional the entire morning and my bridal makeup was perfect and all my bridesmaids + mom + MIL looked the best they've ever looked! I got airbrush and individual lashes and my makeup lasted all day in July heat and rain. I had originally booked Ashlee in 2019 and did my makeup trial for our engagement party which I loved. This was after having another trial that I didn't like. I'm so glad I picked Ashlee because makeup is something you want to get right for the wedding day. We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and Ashlee was great and easy to work with the entire time. Ashlee and her team were very prompt the morning of and we got ready on time and never felt rushed. I highly recommend Muah Makeup to any bride

    Great Experience

    I loved working with Bianca and Katie! Bianca was super friendly and helpful from the start. She and Katie worked around my schedule to make sure my girls were ready on time and that they all got done at one location. Bianca sent super helpful and detailed information before the big day to make sure everyone was prepared to get their hair and makeup done. They worked quickly, and did an amazing job on everyone! Thank you!!

    Bianca and Katie were the greatest hair and makeup team to work with for my wedding. They made the entire process stress free and fun! Not only did they make me feel and look like a princess on my wedding day, they made my entire bridal party look absolutely stunning. I highly recommend MUAH for any event! They are very professional and prompt in responding to emails and messages. :)

    I can not say enough about Bianca and Katie. These ladies are not only wonderful and down-to-earth, but also incredibly talented. Bianca was very forthright from the start that she did not have a ton of experience with Asian make-up, but she did a wonderful job on me. It's not easy but she had just the right of eye make-up, and balanced my color so well- I felt like a more glamorous version of myself! Her reco on eyelashes were so spot on, and though there were many tears throughout the day, my make-up and lashes held up beautifully for 11 hours.

    And the hair, oh the hair! Not only was it perfect from the start, but it held up through a dress change, wind, fog, and the jitterbug. I felt elegant, but knew that my updo would hold up like a tank. Katie was also so open about incorporating my mom's ideas and extensions into her beautiful bun (which did not move either).

    During wedding planning I wouldn't have said that hair & make-up was a top 3 item, but looking back, it was the top reason that I felt great on the big day. And when the morning of comes, having sweet and talented Bianca and Katie on your glam squad will set you up for a wonderful and glamorous wedding.

    I looked like me, but the hottest version of me

    I told Bianca and Katharine from M.U.A.H. that I wanted to look like me on my wedding day, but the hottest version of me. They got the assignment. They also dealt with my huge number of bridesmaids, two moms, and one niece who all needed services and came prepared with assistants to get us ready in plenty of time for pics and our early ceremony. They also vibed with us and were so fun to hang with all morning. Definitely a great choice!

    Thank you!

    BIANCA and KATIE are two of the most gracious, kind, and honest women in the WEDDING industry! From my trial to the actual wedding day, they really considered my feedback, and honored what I wanted. However, they also were realistic and offered suggestions based on what I wanted. I really appreciate this! They executed exactly what I wanted! I end up wanting more of a full GLAM look, and they delivered! Their energy was also exactly what I needed the morning of the wedding! They are both very experienced in the industry, and have been doing this for several years. They are professional, and very punctual. You would never have to worry about them running late or something happening. Do yourself a favor and please book them for hair and make up, you will not be disappointed!

    Bianca and Katie was fabulous. Both were on time and made the ladies in my wedding look gorgeous. They were very professional and also did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal pictures. I looked beautiful. Would highly recommend.

    Amazing and fun

    Katie and Bianca are literally the BEST. They made our morning so extremely fun and light hearted. If you want 2 girls who immediately feel like friends, these are your girls. They make you feel so comfortable. I have had endless compliments on my hair and makeup still 5 months after my wedding.
    Bianca did such an amazing job on myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids. Everyone looked so natural and beautiful. Katie absolutely killed it on my hair. We changed a little from my trial and it looked perfect. These girls are exactly what you need for your wedding!

    Last minute bride

    Bianca and Katie were so great! They accommodated my last minute requests, were punctual, personable, and efficient. We all loved how our hair and makeup turned out. Due to my last minute wedding, I did not have time to do a trial so I just picked photos of their previous clients and used many of those as inspo and let me tell you, they delivered!

    Splendid and stunningly skilled!

    Bianca provided makeup for me and a bridesmaid on my wedding day. She was super responsive upon booking and leading up to the event. She arrived a few minutes early and was a pleasure to be around, providing insight into her process and fun antidotes. Even without a trial, she absolutely nailed what I was hoping for. My makeup lasted all day (and even onto the next :)). Highly recommend! Thank you!!

    Bianca was absolutely amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding yesterday, and I couldn’t have been happier. She was punctual, super sweet, and so flexible with my requests, making sure I felt completely comfortable.

    My makeup was flawless and lasted all day, and I got so many compliments! Plus, their pricing is great for the quality of service. If you’re looking for a talented and kind makeup artist who truly listens and delivers, Bianca is the one! Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my big day! 💕✨

    Exceptional and Amazing

    Made me feel like the most beautiful bride! Their attention to every detail with their impeccable professionalism made me feel comfortable (I was so nervous). Also, their loving care to my elderly grandmother warmed my heart. They took the time to ensure my grandma was taken care of and she never looked so beautiful too. I really appreciated it. I never imagined in my wildest dreams I could look so stunning. Thank you so much for taking care of me and making me feel so beautiful on my special day.

    Absolutely Incredible!!

    Bianca and Katie exceeded every expectation I had for my hair and makeup!! Every vendor you hire for your wedding is important, but your hair and makeup team are the first people you see and they truly set the tone. From trial to wedding day, Bianca and Katie were so kind, beyond professional, and made everyone in the room feel beautiful. They answered every question via text/email quickly, and I knew throughout the whole process I was in good hands!
    Most importantly they are SO incredible at what they do, and I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I cannot recommend these women enough!!

    The girls at MUAH were wonderful! May hair and makeup was beautiful and just like the pictures I showed them as reference with a touch of their own to make the look absolutely perfect! They are so friendly and sweet it was almost like having one of my girlfriends there helping me get ready for my big day!
