Blush Makeup & Hair

ta, to my trial, and finally to my actual wedding day, Christa was always responsive and timely, getting back to me quickly when I had questions, and always arriving exactly on time. She was able to accomplish the exact looks that I and my 5 other ladies were all going for, and I could not have been happier with the final result. To top it all off, she was so lovely to work with through the whole experience - on a day that can be so hectic and overwhelming, she was calm and sweet, making the whole day that much more wonderful. Could not recommend her and her team highly enough.

akeup I have had done. Plus the surprise goody package was so thoughtful.

eous on the wedding day, with truly zero drama and the utmost professionalism. I have really thick hair that has been difficult to style my whole life, but Amy nailed the best most stylish updo of my life. She showed up for a trial and did not leave until she knew exactly how to execute it perfectly on the big day which alleviated a lot of stress for me. I also don't wear a lot of makeup, but Christa figured out how to make me look like the best version of myself. I got compliments all night (and they continue!) that we all looked "flawless." Add to that the fact that her whole team is so lovely, attentive and sweet. These are people you can trust and want around you on your wedding day. Also worth noting: they did blow outs for some bridesmaids which was a fabulous addition for those who wanted them!

it was they were able to set a trial date that fit my schedule and were willing to work with me. My stylists' names were Mary & Camden...who by the way worked very well together. They listened closely to what my vision was and worked their magic just by looking at a few photos... (which were the same photos that I had shown to my previous hair & makeup team, but just was not able to execute what I had envisioned and for my wedding, I just couldn't settle). Luckily I was able to book my Blush Team...!! They were very prompt, always on time, walking me through every step to make sure that they were going in the same direction of my vision. They made sure that we were comfortable the entire time... My hair & makeup was done beautifully, exactly what I had hoped for...my girls were just as beautiful!! Mary & Camden, I couldn't have asked for a more fun, amazing, and talented team. They had really saved my wedding day, making it as perfect as it could be and I can't thank the entire team & process enough!! Thank you again!!

and with acne) so I was really worried about having makeup that would make my face greasy after a couple hours. I was also really afraid that I wouldn’t look like ME. With Christa, none of these things happened. I told her my concerns and she mixed a makeup just for me. I have never felt and looked more beautiful. Completely worth it and so natural looking. She also did my mother who never wears makeup and she got sooooo many compliments. I’m so happy that Christa could make this day special for both me and my mom. I wish I could get this professional makeup all the time.

look was what I wanted while still giving me great tips and advice. Christa ended up flying to my location on Oahu for a last minute trial and stayed by my side through the ceremony giving me touch ups when necessary. She went above and beyond to make sure my hair and dress were perfect while taking pictures and even bustled my dress at the end! Having a team who genuinely cared about me and made my bridal party and I feel so comfortable was incredible. I can not thank them enough and would recommend each one of them in a heartbeat.

out to Napa in February to have my trial and left feeling like I wish I had given more direction and had been more vocal. After a week or two I reached out and asked for another trial which Christa happily agreed to, but wouldn't happen until the week of the wedding since that was the next time we were flying out! I was nervous for months not knowing if the look I would pick would be "the one." We got married on Friday, September 7th and the second trial was scheduled for Tuesday, September 4th. I am so glad I had a second one because Christa and Rachel did EXACTLY what I wanted! I almost cried I was so happy!! The day of came out even better!! My look lasted all night even though I didn't leave the dance floor. Highly recommend Blush - their affordable, flexible, and miracle workers!

only do my hair and makeup, but both mothers, and my 5 bridesmaids as well. They were efficient, yet thorough, even performing touch-ups for everyone at the end. The airbrush makeup was amazing, and it lasted throughout the night. My hair held up well too, even after dancing. I can't accolade them enough. I would not hesitate to choose them again.

d hair for my wife and her four bridesmaids. She accentuated each individuals unique characteristics and made them shine. One thing to note, our wedding venue was changed at the last minute from Napa to San Francisco due to the fires and Christa did not bat an eye. We saw her bright and early on the day of the wedding. We are extremely happy that she was able to make the location change on such a short notice. In addition to her doing an amazing job with makeup and hair she followed my wife around during the wedding to do touch ups. I have to say that while she was doing this she also helped as a coordinator to make sure that we stayed on time. I am extremely thankful that she was there and went above and beyond!

ng :) Alex did myself my bridesmaids and my mother we all looked so flawless and natural not over the top which is exactly what i wanted. The photos are just so gorgeous and Alex just made me feel so relaxed and comfortable on the wedding day, i could have sat there all day we had a ball. My hair was so beautiful and exactly how i wanted it. The make up everyone just couldn't stop raving about how amazing it looked and we will be featuring in magazines next month here in Sydney. So all in all just a five star experience, and i was so impressed and relieved being so far away from home and having the best in Hawaii.

me and didn't skip a beat. We got so many compliments at the wedding, everyone kept on saying how good our hair and makeup looked. The makeup looked very natural and classy, and it held up all night through all of the heat and humidity. I highly recommend doing a bridal preview so that you know what you want on the day of our weeding, it was so worth it and Christa and Alex did fantastic. Christa is very professional and does a top notch job, you won't be disappointed!

oking to do everything she could to make sure I looked perfect. I wear makeup on a regular basis, but bridal makeup is just a whole different look. It took me some time to get used to it, but I loved it so much I didn't want to wash my face at the end of the day! On our wedding day, Christa and team arrived on time in the morning, and it was just an incredibly relaxing and fun few hours. Believe me, you want to be surrounded with calm and bright people on your wedding day. :) Despite the record breaking heat, all our guests kept commenting on how cool and refreshed we all looked. And most of us kept our wedding curls for our relaxing Sunday by the pool!

wedding day nerves. My complexion and makeup looked absolutely flawless, and everything stayed in place SO well throughout the whole day. I got a sneak peek of a few photos, and I am just blown away at how amazing my makeup looks! I just can’t say enough great things - - thank you SO much!

rets with this decision. Myself, 3 bridesmaids, my mother and step mother all got both our hair & make up done by Blush for my wedding day. Everyone looked & felt amazing. I met with Christa about 11 months prior to our wedding - my first impressions of Christa were how friendly, warm-hearty and caring she was. She was very passionate about what she did and made me feel very comfortable. Throughout our year of wedding planning, Christa was so helpful & checked in with us regularly to see how our wedding planning was going and to offer her assistance. This definitely made a lasting impression. The next time I saw Christa was at my Hair & Make Up trial... Christa did my make up & Alex did my hair. Both ladies made me feel completely pampered & were so caring. They strived to understand exactly what I had envisioned for my wedding day beauty & made sure we were able to achieve this. Alex & Christa were both respectful, easy to work with and super fun. They made the "getting ready" part of our wedding day so much fun. The best part of it all? My bridesmaids, mothers and my hair/make up ALL LASTED all day... through the sweat, tears, dancing, wind, etc... by the end of the day we still looked & felt amazing. For anyone currently planning a wedding... I highly recommend finding someone who makes you feel comfortable and at ease - it will make your wedding day that much better. If you're looking for a punctual, reliable, talented and caring stylist to pamper & beautify you on your wedding day... look no further! Blush truly exceeded my expectations. Thank you SO much Christa & Alex!!

keup done. Alex did my hair, and during the trial session at my hotel a couple of days before the wedding, she was lovely! We tried a couple things, tweaked a couple things, and then she totally recreated it on my day. And I LOVE hair, so it was so great to get it right and feel so comfortable. Mary and Alex were accommodating with everyone in the wedding party, and just did what anyone requested (including a couple extras we had not scheduled in!). They were so chill and calm, which helped us all not stress – yet they were totally professional and on time with the timeline. I think my friends wanted Alex to stay for the party they liked her so much! I’ve been involved in a lot of weddings, and usually the hair and makeup is just TOO much. These ladies kept it understated, classic, and beautiful. My girls shone at the wedding.

At first, I was worried that with 6 bridesmaids plus my mom we were going to fall behind but everything was done as planned. I loved my mother's hair and makeup, very natural & elegant. The hairstylists were fun to be with & talk to. My bridesmaids had so much fun. They all loved their hair & they all looked fabulous. I am so glad that I did the beauty concierge service, and I would recommend future brides to hire Christa for the beauty concierge service. Although I had my bridesmaids on my wedding day to help me, we still needed additional help and the beauty concierge service was exactly what we needed. I don't think the wedding would've gone as smoothly without it, so thank you SO MUCH, Christa! I am so grateful for your help & service. Christa and her team were also professional. Christa constantly communicated with me throughout the day. She brought water for me and bridesmaids, which was so sweet of her. The wedding day can be a stressful day but they made me more relaxed because of their excellent service. Thank you so much once again!

ista on yelp after reading all the reviews. To be honest I was a little worried on how things would turn out, but I am so glad I chose Christa. She responded to all my emails very quickly, and asked for pictures of how I wanted my makeup and hair. She was very professional and made the getting ready portion of my wedding day wonderdul. This is saying a lot, since our wakeup time was at 1:45 am! I will, without a doubt, go with Christa for any future special occasions.

were flawless and lasted the entire night. I have super sensitive and oily skin which were my biggest concerns but whatever Christa did, I did not have any allergic reaction and did not have to oil-blot at all. My hair typically falls flat but Mary made me look like I had tons of volume. They were professional, reliable and so pleasant to work with! I will DEFINITELY use their services again and would recommend Blush Makeup & Hair in a heartbeat!

er were through with us! First of all, everything was very easy and convenient to coordinate. They were very responsive (always by the end of the day via email), and it was SO nice that they came to my apartment so I didn't have to coordinate traveling. They had their big "suitcase" of materials/supplies - they definitely had everything they needed with them in my apartment. I also had a trial hair and makeup session a couple months before the wedding, which I was glad I did for the ease of mind, not having to worry about how I would "turn out" on my wedding day. A few quick tweaks after that day (changed the blush color and no hairspray), and I felt everything came out perfectly on the day of. My favorite part was definitely how my eyes turned out. Without looking dramatic or Kardashian-ish, my eyes really really popped. The groom also mentioned my awesome eye makeup. If I had to say one negative thing, it would just be that we went over the estimated "finish time" by about 20-30 minutes, but like ALL brides should, I had built in some extra time, so it wasn't a problem at all. Thanks Blush for making me look and feel like a beautiful bride!!

fter reading her excellent reviews. Christa was immediately responsive to my emails and helpful with suggestions (e.g. sending her a Pinterest page of my ideas.) Christa had a lovely personality and was so talented with hair and makeup. (She has a ton of really great make-up.) She worked with my daughter's kinky/curly hair, (which is very difficult,) giving her the long beautiful curls that she wanted. She helped me to achieve the natural hair and makeup look with great eyes that I always wanted, but could never do on my own. She also came to meet me the night before the ceremony for a trial, and then showed up bright and early at 5:00 a.m. to meet me the morning of the ceremony. Even though she left late the night of the trial, she graciously offered to stop by a store on her way home to see if she could find a flower for my hair. She had me ready right on time (actually before time,) and I looked and felt great throughout the day. She took PayPal, which was very convenient. My experience with Christa was truly wonderful, better than I had expected. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others!

ce I could check the makeup all the time throughout the process and ask her to make small changes when needed. Got so many kind words about my makeup. I definitely recommend Christa.

worried about the air brushing but it looked great and didn't feel heavy or fake at all. I loved my hair. It lasted all day which I was surprised about since the weather was so hot and humid. Christa came recommended to me through a friend of a friend and I would have no hesitations in recommending her. It was quite daunting selecting vendors when you live in another country but my selections worked out perfectly.

quickly and was flexible based on my needs. All of us, my mom, mother-in-law, bridesmaids and myself were beyond impressed with their quality of work. We all looked great for our pictures even though we were outside for the ceremony. Everyone only had great things to say about our hair and makeup. Thank you guys for helping make my wedding day a success!!

lower on service was due to professionalism- the assistant who was supposed to do my hair the day of the wedding cancelled the night before which significantly delayed our timeline the day of the wedding because my mom and mother-in-law both got their makeup done, too. I finished almost two hours later than when I was supposed to which caused a lot of stress the day of the wedding and actually impacted my ability to spend quality time with my bridesmaids and family members. Again, everything turned out beautiful- my makeup was natural and perfect and my hair was secure and gorgeous. I felt like a more beautiful version of myself and that's exactly what I was hoping for. She is very versatile in her skills; she can do dramatic and sexy makeup OR very natural and understated.

p, but he absolutely loved what Christa did for me. Also, my makeup lasted for my 3pm ceremony till the last person left the reception at midnight! Also, I got so many compliments on how flawless it looked! I would recommend Christa because she is willing to do whatever it takes to make you feel beautiful. She was touching me up until the very last second we were walking out the door (even if we were running a few minutes late to our ceremony - what bride isnt???! haha). She was calm and cool and helped make our day more than perfect :)

ecked in with me throughout the experience to make sure that I was comfortable with the look. Everyone loved the look and I felt beautiful! To make the experience even better, she was easy to talk too and made the whole morning fun and enjoyable. I would recommend her to anyone!

make-up. Very personable team and all the girls loved their hair & make-up. Definite recommend!

edding day makeup. Both her and Heather were very professional, even staying up on the north shore the night before so they could start all of our hair and makeup by 6.30am. They made each of my bridesmaids, my mother and me look absolutely gorgeous well within our schedule. My hair and makeup stayed in place throughout the entire event.

day she was able to replicate exactly what I wanted! A few of my bridesmaid have very sensitive skin and she took the time to work with each of them to make sure they didn't have any reactions that day. I highly recommend higher Christa for your big day, she is such a pro!

tic week! I really appreciated the time that she took to answer and explain all the questions that I had. On the day of my wedding, she was on time and remained very calm during the hectic preparations, and for a bride right before her wedding, that is exactly what you need. She was totally prepared, super professional and was able to stay focused during the chaos! My makeup looked fantastic, and I looked better than I ever have in my photos! If only I could do my makeup like her, I would be a very happy woman! I wanted a natural look, but yet something that enhanced my face and she did exactly that. It lasted throughout the day, which my ceremony started at 2pm and ended with the reception at 11pm. She even gave me lipstick applications to take along with me for when it faded. I found Christa on The Knot, after researching around 30 different artist throughout the bay area. I'm really glad that I chose Christa, she is awesome!

ctures & sometimes it would even wear off throughout the day. i told Christa about this problem and the way she applied it, my make up lasted all day, with NO shine in my pictures. she is very personable & professional and i highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for their special day or any other event....

all my bridesmaids (there were 5 of them plus my mom!). She was able to give each of them exactly what they wanted. Of course though, she saved the best for me, the bride! She is a very sweet, gentle, professional, and patient make-up artist which is exactly what you need on your wedding day!
