I used Tiffany for my bridal makeup and couldn't have had a more positive experience. She is bubbly, communicative, punctual and of course did a wonderful job. Myself, my bridesmaids and the MOG/MOBs were very happy with the natural but elevated result.

Raven Reed | Luxury Bridal Beauty 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Starts at $1,800

My work can be described as elevated, intentional, and polished. Whether I am working with a bride who prefers to look more like their natural selves or a bride who is a sucker for full glam, I strive to create a luxurious experience for my clientele on their wedding day. Customizing your look with even the most subtle details can prove to be so impactful in enhancing your beauty. I can’t take all of the credit though! Your beauty inspires me— And at the core of it all, your own beautiful face is the roadmap to creating the most elevated version of yourself.

I hired Raven and her team for my wedding last year and I have zero regrets. From the first email I received, I knew I was in good hands. I instantly fell in love with Raven during my consultation call because she really listened to what I wanted and even took notes! I was a bit nervous initially because I don’t really know much about makeup and hair, but she reassured me that we would create a look that I’m comfortable with and looks great. At my preview we went over everything we discussed during my call and she executed my look perfectly. I’ve LITERALLY never looked better!! I was glammed up but my skin looked so buttery and smooth, never cakey. On my wedding day Raven, Keziah(?) and two other lovely gals arrived on time and got all 9 of us all done quickly but we never felt rushed. The makeup lasted from the afternoon well into the evening and I felt so beautiful. My husband really loved her work as well because I still looked like me! I couldn’t recommend Raven enough!!

Nicole is AMAZING! She is so friendly and made me extremely comfortable. With me not being one to normally wear makeup, I was expecting to feel like I had a mask on; boy was I wrong. She suggested that I do a trial and I was able to also schedule our engagement shoot for the same day. The makeup was remarkable, it had that dewy look which looked good, but I learned it wasn’t my style. Then for the wedding she made the necessary adjustments and viola…perfection! She did the makeup for my entire bridal party, planned it so that everything was on time. It was really sweet how she left me with a little kit to powder my face if I needed it. My makeup lasted all day and night, and it looked and felt natural. I will use her again for other events and I highly recommend you book her as well.

Amy Lawson Makeup & Hair 

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Team of 5
  • Starts at $500

Amy Lawson is a San Francisco based professional makeup & hair artist with over two decades of experience. She has provided her services to brides from intimate City Hall weddings to lavish destination weddings. Amy has travelled across the globe from Las Vegas to Thailand, to create stunning looks for her clients. Her work has been featured in numerous wedding publications. She has worked on celebrities like Neil Patrick Harris and Ali Wong, as well as events like the Golden Globe Awards. Her many years of experience and expertise make her a valuable asset to any special event!

Amy is the beauty professional I most admire working with, from set-up to beauty session to take-down. I have been a hair and makeup artist in the wedding and film industry for fifteen years. She is an artist keen to bring out her clients' natural beauty with flawless finishes. You won't know you are wearing makeup, and everyone will notice how incredible you look. She uses light touches to enhance your look but can replicate more dramatic looks. Tell Amy what you desire, and she will make that look work for you. In addition to her talents, it is a pleasure to work with Amy. She is well-organized, respectful, empathetic, on-time, and she will put you and your group at ease. I love that she brings her fabulously curated cosmetics of the best brands that will last all day (she's tried them all), which are impeccably clean. Every time I have worked with Amy at a wedding or on a film set, she brings the strongest talent in the industry with her. My favorite memory of working with Amy was styling a bridal party in Napa, California. It was a large group of women from Texas who savored their breakfast tacos while we styled them. Amy's five hand-picked artists transformed each bridesmaid and the bride from bedheads and tired eyes from a party the night before into stunning ladies who looked like they slept well. One bridesmaid left the hotel suite where everyone's hair and makeup were being done right after we showed her the finished look. When the bride asked, 'Where did you go?,' she replied, 'I never looked so good in my whole life and wanted to show my husband.' Her hair was disheveled from a romantic romp with her husband, who also loved her look, and we were happy to freshen her hair.

Went to beauty school and earned an esthetician license in SF as well. Specializing in Bridal and special occasion makeup. I can travel to you.

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Emily's exceptional men's beauty services through ArtistBeautySF.com, and I couldn't be happier with the results. As a more mature gentleman preparing for a photo shoot, I was initially apprehensive about the process, but Emily's expertise and professionalism immediately put me at ease. Her meticulous attention to detail and understanding of makeup for men ensured that the final look was natural, enhancing my features without appearing overly done. Emily's skillful application not only made me camera-ready but also boosted my confidence, allowing me to feel comfortable and assured throughout the shoot. Beyond her technical expertise, Emily's warm demeanor and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. She took the time to listen to my preferences and concerns, tailoring the makeup to suit my style and ensuring I felt entirely comfortable with the final look. I highly recommend Emily's men's beauty services at ArtistBeautySF.com, especially for those seeking a natural yet polished appearance for any and all special occasions like photo shoots or weddings. Her talent, professionalism, and personal touch make her an invaluable asset for anyone looking to enhance their appearance seamlessly.

    Jenny did makeup for my grandma, mom, mother in law, sister in law, and myself for my wedding and I have zero complaints. Everyone's makeup looked absolutely amazing. I've never felt more beautiful and it looked amazing in photos. When we did my trial I asked for a more glowy look since I had never done one before and it ended up not being for me. I gave her all my notes from the trial about what I liked and didn't like and on the wedding day she took those notes absolutely nailed it. Super important to have a trial so you can give her your feedback and also so she can see the condition of your skin and make any recommendations for skin care so your skin is in the best condition it can be come wedding day. (If you look at her Google reviews I posted 2 pictures of my makeup)

    • Serves San Francisco, CA

    Christina ''Quis'' Chen began her formal makeup training in her teens while assisting an established bridal makeup artist. After graduating from college with a business degree, she decided to pursue her dreams and relocate to Hollywood where she attended the prestigious Cinema Makeup School for further training. She is also a licensed esthetician. Her work has been published internationally in multiple magazine publications, films and TV. She is also a co-founder of MENU Beauty, a brand celebrating natural beauty.

    Christina and I have worked many years together and continue to book the same brides. Our clients recognize our work and love that we also get along really well! Christina understands my photography style and knows how to apply hair and makeup to show up well in my photos. Christina is very talented and knows how to do hair and makeup in any style, but she really excels at doing natural hair and makeup that enhances a bride's look. There's just something about her technique that makes a bride looking fresh for the entire day. The makeup is never heavy or overdone. I love when Christina stays during the wedding because she is the most helpful assistant whether she is touching up the bride, holding her bouquet/purse, grabbing her water, fluffing her gown/veil, etc., she is the always on guard to make sure the bride's wedding day goes as smoothly as possible. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Christina to all of my brides! She's one of the best in the industry!!

    Nataly did my, my mom and my niece’s hair on September and we LOVED her job. Even though she had only a few hours before the ceremony, she was able to finish everything on time with high quality. I received a lot of compliments for my hair. I was able to dance until the end of the night and my hair was still pretty good! Thank you, Nataly! She was very helpful since she is bilingual and my mom did not speak English.

    Granted, I will start by saying my first trial with a hair and MU artist given to me was disastrous, the pretty committee made it right by giving me another trial with 2 different girls and they were amazing.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    My wedding was 10-02-2022 at Temescal Beach House in Oakland. Kim did my hair and make-up as well as the hair and make-up of my mom and 2 bridesmaids. Throughout the process-from my very first phone/video call with her, until the wedding day- Kim was kind, responsive, professional, and completely fantastic. She's genuine and calming which for me, was exactly what I wanted. I do not wear make-up or do my hair so this was the aspect of my day-of wedding prep that I was most worried about. I didn't want heavy make-up or to not look like myself. I also didn't have a pinterest board or a ton of my own ideas because that world (of hair and make-up) is intimidating to me and just not a language I speak. Kim was SO good at giving me options, talking me through things, and REALLY listening to my preferences. She was adaptive and sincere throughout the process and I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day. I looked like me, but leveled up a few notches, and my friends and family recognized me. The hair and make-up also lasted all day which was awesome. Kim is seriously the best (also queer friendly which was great). I cannot recommend her more highly.
