    Amazing work!!

    Adelina did such a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for my wedding! Since I was coming from a different state, I wasn’t able to do a trial run like many brides do, but I felt confident in Adelina based off of the recommendation from my photographer and looking at her social media pages. I sent her a couple pictures of hair and makeup ideas for inspiration and she recreated the looks effortlessly! I’m so happy with how everything looked in our photos. I would highly recommend booking with Adelina for your special event!

    Wedding make up and hair

    To be honest, I am not surprised that Adelina had 5 stars anywhere you look for her! I couldn’t have wished for a better person to do my hair and make up on my wedding day!

    Multitalented!

    Adelina is very talented! What drew me to her is her ability to create natural, stunning makeup that brings out one's features on a variety of ethnicities. I am half Asian and white and most artists I research usually do a certain ethnicity better than others. However, she is great with a variety of backgrounds. Also, she is equally talented in hair! She is easy to talk to and friendly.

    Made me feel like a QUEEN

    Adelina rocked my engagement photo makeup and hair - I've never felt so beautiful! Not only is she so talent, but she is an amazing person who really put me at ease throughout the entire process. Her experience in the industry is huge, and she knew exactly what I needed to look my best in photos and how to make it last - I learned so much! I got so many compliments afterwards, and I know that was due to Adelina!

    Adelina is amazing! A true artist!

    I found Adelina on Yelp in December 2018 when I was looking for a hair/make up artist for my engagement photos in San Francisco. Adelina was responsive, professional and a true artist. She knew exactly the look I was going for and totally nailed it. I loved how natural my make up/hair looked and her work turned out perfect in the photos. I immediately hired her for my wedding in September 2019. My mom and I set up a trial with Adelina leading up to the wedding - I showed her a few photos of the look I wanted and once again - she knew exactly what I wanted and it looked perfect. I went into the wedding with confidence that my hair/make up would turn out just how I had envisioned. On the wedding day, we had a total of 9 ladies have hair/make up done (bride, bridesmaids, mothers of bride/groom). Adelina came with two additional artists. The team was incredible - they were all professional, timely and made everyone look absolutely beautiful. I am so happy I found Adelina and I hope to work with her again in the future. I can't recommend her enough - she has a true talent and is incredibly friendly and kind!

    Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend her hair and makeup services!

    Before my wedding, Adelina came to my residence and applied my makeup and styled my hair. Our appointment was early in the morning but Adelina showed up on time, was able to listen to what type of look/style I was going for and did amazing job. She is a highly skilled/talented makeup artist and hair stylist. At one point when doing my hair, the outlet stopped working and she was already problem solving how she could travel with us to City Hall (where I got married) to finish my hair, if needed. I highly recommend her services and am so glad I chose her for my special day!

    Amazing & Genuine Artist!

    Being a June bride, I already knew that most of my vendors would be super booked and super busy! Finding a make-up artist was most important because you want to feel good and look good for your special day.

    Adelina did not disappoint! She was very genuine and professional and super sweet! I loved how she made me feel at ease during the make up session. Very professional, great at communicating as well! I found her on Instagram, and I instantly knew that she can make me look how I wanted to feel! I wish her nothing but the best!

    Thank you again, Adelina!

    All my bridesmaids loved her

    I hired Adelina to do makeup and hair for 3 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, 1 MOB and 1 mother of the groom. She was very accommodating and flexible, bear in mind I originally hired her just to do makeup. Then it was 1 hair up do, then 2 and so on. Adelina was very efficient in her work and everyone looked beautiful. I later found out she even gave my bridesmaid a whole lipstick so they can touch up throughout the day.

    Makeup and Hair by Adelina's reply:

    Amity, thank you so much for this sweet feedback! I greatly enjoyed working with your family and friends and wish you all the best! Thank you!

    Adelina made me GLOW on my wedding day

    I took a leap of faith and booked Adelina for my destination wedding at the San Francisco City Hall, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I found her on Yelp because the photos of her brides were absolutely glowing, and I knew that's how I wanted to look on my wedding day.
    She was professional, kind, and her experience in the industry made all the difference. She took my inspiration photos and delivered!
    She showed up to my hotel early, and was calm and relaxed. She took her time and made sure I was happy with every detail.
    Adelina is absolutely amazing; reach out to her for your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed.
    Adelina, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Amazing Hair & MUA

    Adelina is absolutely incredible, and I cannot sing her praises enough!

    As an out of town bride, finding the right hair and makeup artist for my wedding in San Francisco was my top priority. Having worked with lots of hair and MUA’s in the past, I know how many things can go wrong, and for my big day I, of course, wanted everything to be perfect ... and then some.

    When I saw Adelina’s reviews I reached out right away. I was so impressed by her quick response and attention to detail. She asked lots of questions about the big day, about my dress, my color scheme and for any hair and make up inspirations I had. From there, we scheduled a trial a few weeks later for when I was in the city.

    During the trial, I knew immediately she was the one. She was prompt, professional, super sweet, and not to mention she did an incredible job. She also took pictures of all the colors she used on me, palettes, and brands of make-up so that she could be sure to use/do the exact thing for my big day. So genius!

    When I met with Adelina on my big day, she again arrived promptly, ready to go, with a smile on her face. She put my nerves at ease by talking to me about the big day and my vows, and by working her magic. Her talent is truly remarkable - I literally felt like a princess. Adelina made me the prettiest, best version of myself, without looking overdone. I honestly have never felt more beautiful in my entire life (my husband loved everything too)! My makeup and hair stayed put and lasted all day (12 hours)!!! The only touch up I needed to do was reapplying my lipstick - amazing.

    One of the best things about Adelina, is the fact that she takes her time and doesn’t finish until she has everything perfect. In the wedding industry, so often we feel rushed or like a burden to vendors, and that is definitely NOT the case with Adelina.

    I cannot recommend Adelina enough. If you’re looking for a talented artist that truly is a master at their craft and takes pride in their work and cares about YOU, look no further than Adelina.

    Makeup and Hair by Adelina's reply:

    Ashley, thank you so much for your kind, thoughtful words. It was such a delight to work with you on your big day, and the results were positively stunning. It’s especially rewarding to receive feedback from someone with immaculate taste and experience in fashion and beauty. I only hope that we have another chance to create a beautiful look in the future.

    Better than I could have ever imagined

    Adelina is a hair and makeup goddess. There's not much more I can say. If you want to feel and look like a supermodel, she's got you covered. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to her. She was even sweet enough to stay and record my first look with my hubby to be for me. She is the kindest person with an incredible talent. LOVED her!!!

    Makeup and Hair by Adelina's reply:

    Thank you, Jackie, for your kind words! It was a pleasure to be a part of your big day! I wish you and your hubby endless happiness!

    Gorgeous Makeup

    Adelina was very flexible with me as she allowed me to add on not only my bridemaid, but also my sister and best friend onto the appointment. Adelina brought another hairstylist to my appointment to handle my ladies, while I got my hair and makeup done by Adelina. My Makeup was beautiful, I showed her a picture for inspiration and it turned out amazing. I’m so happy I booked her for my Big Day. My mom and Aunty loved my makeup and even my Hubby, who typically likes me without any makeup. I’m so happy I booked her!!

    I absolutely loved my hair and makeup on my big day!

    I ended up getting married 3 months late due to health issues and I was suggested to try Adelina so i checked out her profile and was super excited. I loved the hair and makeup, I wouldn't change a thing! She was so professional, chill and easy going to work with, I'd HIGHLY recommend working with her to make your day more special!

    Beautiful Experience

    My experience with Adelina was nothing short of amazing and I am truly happy that I found her to style my hair and make up for my wedding day. We communicated through email and she was responsive and clear in communication. I did my bookings backwards for her and glad it worked out perfectly. Instead of having a trial done before placing a deposit for my makeup and hair for the wedding day, I went ahead and booked her for my wedding and did a trial some time in between all this. I was confident in her skills through her sample work on her website and instagram account, it did not disappoint. My make up and hair trial went great, we did two different styles - one for wedding and one for engagement photoshoot that was scheduled that day. Unfortunately, the photos that Adelina took to use as reference for my wedding day was lost, however I was able to find the styles online and she re-created it without issues. On my wedding day she was booked for my sister and my (the bride) hair and makeup. Our makeup turned out beautiful and hair was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend Adelina for anyone(not just brides) for make up and hair services!

    Makeup Artist that became a friend. :)

    Where do I begin? I live in Texas and when we decided to Tie the Knot in San Francisco my first thought was, who is going to do my makeup and hair? I don’t know anybody in San Francisco, so I was unable to get recommendations. I decided to look up hashtags on instagram and hoping I would land on a great hair and makeup artist. When I ran into Adelina’s Instagram page I was so happy. Her work looked good. I emailed her and she was quick to respond to me. She even told me she would make room to fit me in if she was booked that day. From the first email she has always been a sweet heart. When she came to my Airbnb to do my makeup and hair, she made me feel so comfortable. We carried a conversation like we knew each other from forever. My makeup and hair came out perfect for my special day. It lasted all day and I received so many compliments from it. Pricing was great. I wish Adelina lives in Texas so I could use her more often! :)

    Thank you, Erika, for being a delightful bride to work with. I am forever grateful for your kindness :)

    My photographer recommended Adelina and I'm so grateful. I contacted her months in advance and she called me back right away with such an upbeat, positive, receptive, and just delightful attitude. Right after the call I felt at ease that everything would turn out great. I sent her pictures and ideas of what I had envisioned, and we kept in touch. The day finally came, she came to out hotel and was so sweet, polite, and professional. I felt relaxed and happy, like I was getting ready with a friend. I completely trusted her and everything came out better than I ever imagined. I highly recommend her to all future brides! She's fantastic! I wish she could get me ready for all my special occasions ;)

    Adelina was an absolute pleasure to be with on my special day. Her makeup without exaggerating was flawless. The talent she has is like no other. She was patient and was willing to do all she could to get me the look that I wanted and she did. She's friendly outgoing and professional. I recommend her to anyone. I don't wear a lot of heavy makeup myself but she made me skin glow and clean and look great that I wouldn't mind getting makeup done by her again. I've had bad experiences with other artists but with her I was nothing but happy. Even after waking up on the morning my hair and makeup looked so fresh. Please get her if you need hair and makeup, she won't disappoint! I moved here from CT and saw her Instagram and thought I might as well give her a chance and I'm so glad I did.

    Adelina is absolutely great! She did my makeup and hair for my wedding two weeks ago, as well as for my bridesmaids. She consulted with me every set of the way and even took some time prior to our initial meeting/trial to discuss my preferences. She was also super accommodating and flexible. My hair and makeup came out flawless and I got so many compliments. Not to mention the bridesmaids, which looked stunning!

    I wanted to send a quick note to extend my utmost-gratitude to you for your expert *Glam* work in making our special day one to remember for a lifetime!

    Everyone's makeup was perfectly-natural, just as I had asked; going the extra-mile on every last detail. It was an absolutely incredible night; our makeup looked PERFECT from start to finish!

    I recommend Glam by Adelina to anyone looking to get "Glammed-Up". We called her 24 hours before we needed the services. She was punctual, very friendly, and really listened to what I wanted.

    Again, we would like to extend our sincerest thanks for all your hard work! You made our wedding pictures look amazing :0)

    With love & joy,

    She did an amazing job

    She communicates effectively, has a calm demeanor, and accommodates to your needs, which is what makes one a true professional. I'm so glad that Adelina did my makeup and hair bc she did it exactly how I wanted it. She is good at what she does and you can clearly tell. Her price is perfectly fair bc of the quality of products she uses, her talented skills, and service she provides. You will not be disappointed.
