Amy did my hair and makeup and she did a great job. I have pretty dry skin but she was still able to make me look glowy. My hair stayed curly the entire night and overall my experience with her was wonderful!

Amy made my wedding day truly special. My hair and makeup were stunning. She came to our hotel and took her time creating the vision I had dreamed of for my special day. My MIL and Maid of Honor also had their hair and makeup done and looked amazing. She is terrific, flexible, and very artistic.

Amy’s services were a key part of my wedding day! She had the perfect energy, was on time, and got all five of us done way ahead of schedule! Her work is fantastic, and the makeup and hair lasted me the whole wedding night, even with all the running around and dancing we were doing. I felt so beautiful and all of my bridesmaids looked incredible too! Her prices are incredibly reasonable for the work she does and she was able to accommodate a slightly last minute addition to our services with ease. I highly recommend Amy for your bridal looks, I would hire her all over again if we had too!

I’m so glad I chose Amy to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She and her team were incredible! My trial with Amy was awesome, my makeup has never looked so good or lasted so long before! I was so impressed! Amy was always super responsive and very helpful with making the day of schedule with all my bridesmaids. Her team was very kind and made all my girls look beautiful with their hair and makeup! Amy was kind and patient, even with my mom who wanted a particular hairstyle! I was thrilled with how my hair and makeup turned out on my wedding day and it lasted all night long! Amy is the sweetest, she is easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable the whole time! I would absolutely recommend to any bride looking for affordable and amazing hair and makeup services! Thank you for your talented work Amy, you made the morning seamless and were a huge part of making my wedding day special and perfect! ❤️

Amy and her team were 10/10! She completed my hair and makeup for my trial, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. She was always on time, very responsive to my emails, and super professional. My hair and makeup turned out EXACTLY how I asked (she recreated it after a quick glance at a Pinterest photo) and it lasted ALL night, even though it was 100 degrees on my wedding day. All my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law were extremely impressed by her and her team’s services and efficiency. I can’t emphasize it enough, book Amy for your big day!!

I don’t even know how to explain how much I (bride) and all my brides maid appreciate the excellence service that bridal by Amy provides. Our hair & makeup are all spot on. Especially mine Amy did my hair & make up! OMG! The whole night my make up lasted for ours without any touch ups and also prettier on all our pictures. One thing I’ll suggest to all future brides TRUST AMY! I have tons of ideas on my mind (IG for reference/inspo) but when I talked to her about it she gave me her input and viola she made me at ease the whole process and the result was amazing. Thank you Amy and her girls for making us so gorgeous on my wedding.

The short and sweet version of this review is: just book Amy for your wedding!
She’s fabulous! She came to my home for my trial. She remained flexible on services literally up until the day of. She arrived on time, she was ahead of schedule which allowed plenty of time to relax the morning of my wedding (how often do you hear that?!). Her assistant was amazing! She is capable of any hairstyle for your bridesmaids (I had 4 & she did hair and make up for the MOB and MOG!) And best of all the hair and make up she did for me lasted throughout the entire day and night! I still looked good when I went back to the hotel around midnight! Planning a wedding is stressful, so do yourself a favor and book Amy because she takes the stress away and you will look AMAZING!

Amy did a wonderful job on my bridal hair and makeup, for my sisters and my mom. She was always so receptive to what we were looking for. I was extremely happy with how my makeup and hair turned out. It held up throughout the entire day and even an outfit change. Her pricing is extremely reasonable compared to many other people for the amazing work she does. I highly recommend her for your wedding/events!

Amy and her assistants did makeup for my wedding. Amy was wonderful to work with -- she made every step of my planning process go smoothly, and was very accommodating with some last minute service changes.
I had a large bridal party, plus I included my mom, and mother in law in our makeup morning. Amy and her team not only did an incredible job and made everyone look beautiful, but they were so efficient that we were an hour ahead of schedule, which was a huge relief for all of us! We were able to enjoy a relaxing morning, which none of us expected for the morning of a wedding!
Everyone felt beautiful, and Amy did a great job of giving us a balance of looking both natural and glammed. Plus, our hair and makeup lasted all day/night long (about 12-16 hours!). I'm so grateful to Amy and her team for making us all look and feel great!

Amy and her assistant, Mari, were amazing from the time I received a quote to the actual wedding day! I asked her lots of questions and she was always prompt and patient with me. I had my hair/make up trial, and I was not sure if I wanted it half up/down or all up, and she said she would try both. It was really great of her to do that and I am glad I tried both because that swayed my decision. She recommended lipstick for the special day, and my mom and I both got the same lipstick! I loved my trial; however, I ended up wanting to go with braids and Amy was very accommodating and I loved my hair WAY more than my trial, so it really worked out that I spoke up. Amy was also very flexible with timing. We needed to start earlier, and she said it would not be an issue and she showed up right on time.
My bridesmaids and my mom looked amazing and I would definitely recommend Amy and her team for your special day.

Amy was very kind and professional from the start! She was prompt in her correspondence with me and thorough in answering any questions I had. She was also patient with me during our planning process (I was pregnant with twins while planning a wedding!) and always maintained grace and understanding throughout our time together. She ensured I was pleased and happy with my hair and makeup during our trial session and on my wedding day. Amy will be doing my hair and makeup for my friend’s wedding in the future, and I am excited to be beautified by her once again. I felt gorgeous on my wedding day, and it was all thanks to Amy’s magic!

I found out about Amy from my brother who worked with her brother. She was so responsive and she was amazing to work with. She really helped me out by adding another stylish because my list grew. My hair and everyone else’s hair was so perfect. She will not disappoint your vision. If you want a wonderful and reliable person to work with- she is your girl.

Amy was amazing! She and her assistant did hair and makeup for me and six other ladies, and we managed to finish ahead of schedule. I really enjoyed my trial and actual makeup session, and felt that my hair and makeup turned out very beautiful both times. Amy was also always very responsive to my emails - the whole experience was very stress-free.

Amy was a delight to work with! From the very beginning she was responsive and professional. She really is a talent when it comes to makeup, mine and my bridesmaids skin looked flawless and was matched perfectly. I loved the soft glam but not overly done looks she did for us. Amy and I had a comfortable consultation at the trial about what I wanted and what concerns I had, and she knew just what to do to achieve the best look for me. She was amenable to any requests and changes day of and also offered up great suggestions when I was shopping for a lipstick and gentle foundation for my mom ahead of the wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and am so glad I found her!

Amy is the absolute best! She make the experience so great I would recommend her to everybody! She did my hair and makeup for dinner rehearsal and the wedding!

She communicates well and is quick and replying. She even add my mom in last minute and my mom is so picky that she loved Amy’s work! If I ever have another event she will my by go to! Her prices are also so reasonable compared to so many! I absolutely love her and her work! Thank you so much Amy for the amazing job and making everything so easy for me!

Amy is amazing!!! She did an incredible job on my wedding hair and makeup - I would highly, highly recommend!! I had never had my hair and makeup done professionally, so I was a bit nervous, but Amy delivered exactly what I was looking for. The makeup felt so light on my skin but still looked incredible in pictures. She was also just super nice, low-key, and enjoyable to be around on the wedding morning as we got ready. We weren't rushed at all, and everyone loved their looks! And her prices were the best I found!

Amy did a fantastic job with my and my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup! We actually worked with her two years in a row because my husband tested positive for COVID the day before our wedding, so we still got married but postponed our reception to a year later. In spite of the circumstances, Amy was very accommodating and willing to do hair and makeup for us on my wedding day, and I am so grateful for her flexibility! We loved her so much that we asked if she could do our hair and makeup again this year for the reception. She did a stunning job, and in spite of the ~95F weather, my makeup lasted the whole day! Would highly recommend her :)

Amy was fantastic to work with and made me feel like an old Hollywood movie star on my wedding day with the beautiful Hollywood curls and gold eye shadow! She was so easy to communicate with, she came to my house to do the trial, and she was on-time the day of. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup (that never happens). She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Got married last September 23, 2022 and Amy is the sweetest and most sincere person I have met. She was receptive to what I wanted even after the finished look during the trial and the day itself.
Bonus: she met my Aunts during the trial and like any Aunt, they had a lot of comments. Amy was still very sweet and respectful.
Definitely recommend her for any events!

I’ve worked with Amy in the past and I instantly thought of her when looking to book makeup for my wedding. She took care of my moms, mother in law, sister in law, grandma and aunt! She was even sweet enough to accommodate my niece last minute. My family mentioned how sweet and patient Amy was! She truly listened to what they wanted but also made her recommendations as well. She was even so sweet to pick me up a latte on the way to the venue! 😭 Thank you Amy, for making my family feel and look so beautiful for my wedding!

Amy and her assistant did wedding make up and hair for me, my mom, and six bridesmaids. She was very open to feedback after our trial and maintained prompt and clear communication from booking to the actual big day. I liked that she uses individual lashes (instead of strip) because my overall makeup look stayed put even after a couple of lashes fell off from all the joyful tears. Our whole group looked so good thanks to Amy and her team!

If you're looking for an experienced, friendly professional to do your hair and makeup, I highly recommend Amy S! As someone who doesn't usually wear that much makeup I was nervous about the look and feel of everything for my wedding day. During the trial Amy made me feel comfortable and walked me through my options and made really helpful recommendations. She was also super communicative throughout the whole process and I never had to wait long at all for her to answer a question I had. She was very punctual and prepared, and on the big day she even finished my hair and makeup early which allowed me to do some extra photos with my bridesmaids. The makeup looked fantastic, I didn't ever feel like I was wearing heavy makeup at all, and it lasted all day. All in all, my experience working with her could not have been better and I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Super professional and rolled with the crazy wedding morning surprises. She did a practice session with me that I used for my boudoir shoot and it came out so good. Changed my hair a little for the wedding day but no issues. She did my maid of honors hair and make up and a bridesmaid make up as well. Best of the best!

Amy was absolutely fantastic!!!! Besides being able to keep up with all of her brides rescheduled weddings (including mine!), she was able to make me feel absolutely stunning on my wedding day. Amy showed up early to set up and was able to manage scheduled appointments perfectly as well as accommodate last minute changes (which was such a relief! when my aunt-in-law from overseas wanted to get some services done for the wedding). Amy and her assistant, Daisy, made my girls feel comfortable asking for small changes to their day-of look and her flexibility didn't go unnoticed. When I sat in the chair on my wedding day I got a huge adrenaline rush and Amy's calmness truly set the tone for the room. I can't thank Amy enough for her work and professionalism on my wedding day - she exceeded my expectations by far. Thank you again for making me feel flawless :)

If I could give a 100 star review I would! Amy is an amazing makeup and hair stylist. She is very meticulous and careful and if very mindful of what colors and styles look good. She and her team helped me and my bridesmaid team look and feel our most beautiful! Not only is she amazingly talented, she is very funny, engaging, and was keeping me smiling while getting ready (it definitely helped me with my wedding day jitters)! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience Amy!!!

Amy did my hair and makeup for my creepy Friday the 13th wedding. She was able to create the look I was going for that fit my theme but still looked stunning and elegant. We had an outdoor wedding ceremony in the rain and both my hair and makeup held up the entire time! I received compliments all day, even after the rainy ceremony. I would definitely recommend!

Listen up brides! Amy is a one-of-a-kind makeup artist and hair stylist. She did hair and makeup for my bride tribe and I for my wedding day on October 4, 2020. She was able to execute many different looks.. for example I really wanted a glamorous look and some of the ladies in my bridal party wanted a more natural look. I was really happy with the way my makeup lasted all day and looked perfect all the way until the end of the day. Amy is so sweet and very easy to talk to. She made my wedding day extra special!!!

Amy did my hair and make up for my engagement photos and my wedding day. She also did hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids, mother in law, and flower girl. She was so easy to work with and responded quickly to all my emails. She was flexible and able to work with me through all the challenges of wedding planning during the pandemic. I’m not someone who regularly wears a lot of makeup, so I wanted more of a natural glam look. Amy was able to execute my vision for my hair and make up and made me look glam but still feel natural. She did a great job during the trial and was willing to make any modifications I requested. She helped created a schedule for the morning of my wedding to make sure we got everyones hair and makeup done by the time we needed to be ready. I highly recommend booking Amy to do your hair and makeup!

It allowed for my bridal party to relax and enjoy lunch before heading out to the church. All of my ladies looked absolutely and gorgeous for pictures and throughout the day.

Amy did the hair and makeup for me and my maid of honor for my wedding in September 2019. Overall, Amy was great to work with, she's friendly, easy to talk to, and her prices were very reasonable. The makeup that she did lasted all day and looked great in all of our photos. The reason for minus one star was with the hair. I had Amy do a low curled bun and it lasted throughout most of the day, but not the entire day. It stayed in place for all of the important photos but started to fall out a bit once the dancing started. By the end of the night, it had noticeably come undone in one section. It wasn't a big deal since we were just dancing by that point, but it would have been good if the whole updo had been a little tighter. Overall, I'd recommend Amy for your wedding hair and makeup!

I loved them! the day of my wedding, she was very chill, relaxed, and went with the flow. My bridesmaid schedule was all over the place, but Amy just told us where & what time to be ready. My wedding make up & hair turned out amazing! very simple glam, exactly what I wanted! Makes me want to get married again, just to have any do my makeup & hair!
Amy, ALL my bridesmaids, maid of honor, and mother of bride & groom LOVED their hair & makeup! you truly are amazing & have a gift!

I was one of those brides that thought makeup wasn’t a big deal and I could do it myself. Then a few weeks before my wedding I realized that I spent so much time and money on putting together this perfect day and now I was going to skimp on me!? All of our wedding pictures would have me in it, did I really want to look back and regret not paying someone to look great? I got on the knot and found Amy! I loved her style and mainly that she just enhances your beauty and makes you look polished. Luckily she was available even though I didn’t give her much notice. She arrived day of on time and made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I didn’t even look in the mirror until she was done! Honestly, I’ve never seen myself look so beautiful! I can not say enough good things about Amy! Booking her will be the easiest and best decision you make during your wedding planning!

I'm so glad I chose to work with Amy for my wedding! First off, she was so easy to work with- she responded very quickly on email, her communication was very clear and her processes and pricing were straightforward.
On the day of the wedding, she was amazing. She showed up early, kept everything on schedule, and I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out. Everything lasted through the entire day and into the night, even in the heat! She was great about turning a concept into reality. I wanted a romantic look and she mastered it. I really felt like she was both a consultant, expert and friend.
Getting ready the day of the wedding was one of my favorite parts of the day, and Amy made it so special.

Well - I don’t know where to begin. Amy was the reason I didn’t lose it on the big day. She was so much more than a brilliant and talented artist, but a true friend and companion who kept me calm and collected until I left to walk down the aisle.
I cried when she handed me the mirror. I looked exactly how I wanted and I trusted her judgement completely. Her craft is absolutely unmatched.
I have recommended Amy to every bride I know and not only did they take my recommendation, they loved her just as much as I do.
I made a friend in Amy and have trusted her and her talented team for every event I’ve had up to and since my wedding.
Amy - thank you for making our biggest day so special. I love you, I love how passionate you are about your clients, and I can’t wait to recommend you to everyone I know for years to come.
Thank you again!!!!!!

I rarely write reviews but felt the need to do so because Amy exceeded my high expectations. I researched many makeup artists, created multiple color-coded spreadsheets + visual boards and interviewed a number of potential makeup artists. Amy was spectacular from the start.
-Prompt communication
-Talented at makeup AND hair (see her instagram)
-Customized looks for the bride, mothers, and bridesmaids based on skin tones and hair color/length
-Had experience and advice for hair extensions
-Thorough in her technique from skincare to face makeup to eyes and lashes
- Used quality makeup and the finished looks were better than airbrush
- And overall was a delight to spend time with. She's extremely graceful, positive, and she provided calm control during a potentially stressful morning

Ah, we LOVED Amy! I'll be the first to admit that having my makeup done stresses me out- I am super particular about the way that I like it. Amy really listened to me when I was explaining what look I was hoping to achieve. She made me feel like myself while still giving me the most amazing bridal makeup. My wedding day was in the middle of August in Hollister and it was HOT! My makeup was flawless through out the night despite getting sweaty here and there! She did amazing and as I look back on the photos and videos, I really love what I see! She was also just super fun to have around and get ready with! All of my bridesmaids looked amazing and as I watched them finish I couldn't wait for my turn! <3

Amy was amaaaaazing! She was so quick to answer simple questions for me when I first requested a quote. She was great at accommodating me with my many requests for myself, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and eventually a last minute addition of another family member. My trial was used towards my engagement shoot/10 year anniversary, we were outside in the San Francisco wind and elements, the hair and makeup lasted for a whopping 10 hours!!!! I also had Amy do my hair and makeup for my tea ceremony. I was soooo glowy and my hair was amazing. My mom could not stop raving about it.
On my wedding day, Amy and two other hair & makeup artists came bright and early to help all 9 of us get ready by noon. They were on top of everything, so much so that we finished 20 minutes early! Everyone looked gorgeous, they were able to achieve everyone's different hairstyle requests. Amy did a great job at making everyone look dolled up but still natural. It was a very hot day in Palo Alto, the makeup held up wonderfully and everyone's hair stood up against the heat.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Amy beautify me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. Hair and makeup. From the beginning Amy was professional, accommodating, responsive to all my many messages, and was able to tailor my mish-mosh of ideas of what I wanted to look like into perfection for me, as well as for my bridesmaids. We went with a bohemian beachy romantic vibe, and she delivered! I felt so beautiful! For the day of the wedding despite a heavy mist my naturally curly hair was styled so expertly by her that it stood up to the moisture and stayed smooth and in place. Even after some serious moves on the dance floor (sweat much?) my makeup didn’t budge! My bridesmaids all looked so beautiful as well. We were especially impressed with the how well the makeup made our pictures pop but at the same time didn’t look like you much makeup in person... Amy has her skill down so well. I highly recommend her not only for her skill in beautification but also how professional and approachable she is. So impressed with her!

Amy was fantastic! I'm so impressed with her work - she made my skin look flawless, but still natural. She did a great job of interpreting what I wanted and was right on the mark at our trial. We all looked perfect all day! On top of her fantastic work, I had an early start to my day and she didn't bat an eye at getting 4 of us done in time for a midday ceremony. She was very punctual, communicative, and overall a pleasure to work with!

I am happy to provide a 5 star review for Amy for a job well done for my wedding day. Amy was very responsive and insightful from the first moment I inquired with her about her services. She also was very professional in how she handled the business side of things. I was thankful to have the hair/makeup trial where I had a chance to refine what look I wanted and also to learn a little more about her (and how we both had a common love of working out). On my wedding day she and her associate were able to do hair and makeup for my entire bridal party and 3 family members and finished ahead of schedule. The final results were long-lasting and beautiful. I wanted a more natural look and my hair in an updo with braid on the side. She was able to deliver; my makeup stayed in place in the heat and my hair stayed in place and lasted while dancing the night away. I trusted her completely, she was organized, prepared and made my wedding morning experience a breeze. I cannot recommend her enough! Thanks Amy!

Amy is amazing! She is just so cool and creates a beautiful dream of hair and makeup. I loved it from our trial to the end of the wedding day. She just does such a great job of balancing the glamour of hair and makeup and still having you look like you. So many compliments. I’m just so happy with the pictures and that on the best day ever I looked thaaat goood. Needless to say the groom reared up.

Amy was amazing! I got married at 11:30 in the morning and she was there and ready at my hotel at 7 in the morning! In fact she beat me back to my room when I went to grab breakfast with my daughter. She was quick but did a great job. My mom also got her make up done and she looked beautiful. My brother, who is in the military, surprised me by showing up to my wedding, of course causing many tears, and my make up never ran. In fact I went to dinner that night also with family (were talking like 6 in the evening now) and when I went to wipe my mouth there was lipstick on the napkin that had been applied before 8 in the morning still. I dont know how she did it but it was great.

I came across Amy's website and instagram when I was looking for a wedding hair/makeup artist for myself and my bridesmaids. When I reached out she responded so quickly and put together a very affordable quote! The logistics of working with her were super easy, but her talent far outshone that! I don't usually wear makeup and was very wary of looking unnatural or overdone but I knew I was in great hands with Amy. She talked me through exactly what she was doing and in the end I was so incredibly happy with how I looked. My bridesmaids also loved her and absolutely pestered her with questions about makeup the whole time we were getting ready. She is so sweet and friendly on top of her talent with makeup & hair which makes her even more awesome! I'd also like to give her props for the makeup she used surviving a lot of happy crying (a lot!!). Amy made me, my bridesmaids, and my mother-in-law feel like the most empoweringly beautiful versions of ourselves on my wedding day. I highly recommend booking her!!

Amy was incredible! She had to drive quite far to get to our venue area and arrived perfectly on time and was ready to go! She did my 3 bridesmaids hair, my moms hair, my bridal updo and makeup. It was all PERFECT. My hair stayed almost exactly in place throughout the whole wedding, and my makeup looked just as good at the very end. So impressed. She’s super nice and was willing to accommodate whatever I wanted!

I was looking for a very affordable make up artist for my wedding so i searched Knot and found Amy. I fell in love with her work and emailed her right away to inquire. She responds very quick and her rates are very affordable unlike others. She is very easy to deal with and i absolutely felt so comfy already with her from our very first conversation. It was a great experience from the Bridal trial up to the wedding day. She and her assistant arrived on time. I had her do my Maid of honor and Sisters in law’s hair and make up and THEY ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER WORK. She definitely made me feel so beautiful on my big day as well. I had so much marks and breakouts but she managed to cover them and made them look like i dont even have them. Even my sister in law who is getting married on 2020 already messaged her and asked to be her make up artist. Amy, you do amazing work! Thank you so much!

I came across Amy's portfolio and loved the photos of the brides she did make up for and was even more surprised how affordable her rates are!! I reached out immediately and she responded extremely fast which I can appreciate during the hectic wedding plans!! I booked her for my wedding and got the trial done and absolutely LOVED what she did and can't imagine how much better it'll look on my wedding day if that was the trial! Amy has such a welcoming personality even my mom loved her when we met her, she definitely made us feel right at home and comfortable with her!
On top of this, any time I had a question/concern/feedback, Amy always responded right away with a warm and great attitude - which is usually very hard to show via emails/text but you can tell easily with her! :) I can't wait until my wedding day for her to work her magic!

Amy and her team were a dream to work with! I find responsiveness, professionalism, and beautiful work at the top of my desire list for vendors and she was the perfect find. We just received our pictures from our big day, and the makeup/hair for me and the bridal party looks gorgeous. I highly recommend Amy for all make-up and hair needs, she will make you feel and look beautiful.

Amy did my hair and makeup for my wedding, along with a few bridesmaids and our moms. Everyone looked beautiful and I absolutely loved my hair! She was super easy to work with and I loved that she was able to come to my house for the trial. Her prices are also really reasonable. I definitely recommend her!

Amy was my wedding hair and makeup artist for my wedding weekend last weekend (yes for not one but two days!) and I couldn't have been more happy about the results. I am currently waiting for photos from our photographers but based on the teasers they've sent me, my makeup looks awesome! I had many compliments from my family and friends of how great and natural my makeup looked as well as how my hair was done.
I was lucky to come across Amy through Yelp. In fact I was already in the process of booking another artist but while browsing yelp for food, I read another review that someone had posted about Amy and decided to inquire with her and ended up booking. Her rates are very reasonable and straight forward.
She is very professional, prompt with email questions and gives wonderful feedback! I had my hair and makeup trial at different times and she really didn't mind making multiple visits. I ended up having hair extensions and Amy was able to answer questions on what type I should look for as well as providing me links of where I can purchase. Each appointment I had scheduled with her, she was punctual and even early at times. I generally don't wear a lot of makeup and when she did apply makeup I didn't every feel that it was too much or too cakey as she always went with what I was comfortable with, liked or did not like. She has a very easy going personality and almost feels like a friend that is coming over to do your hair and makeup. Thank you so much for making me look amazing on my wedding weekend! Would highly recommended to anyone in search of makeup or hair services!

To sum it up in just a few words, Amy is amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and everything turned out so perfect! She also did the makeup for some of my bridesmaids and mom and she and an assistant did the hair for all my bridesmaids and mom and everyone looked so beautiful! I was beyond happy with how everything turned out and my hair and makeup lasted all day long, through hours of dancing and many tears! Amy is so easy-going and doesn’t let anything phase her which makes things so much easier on a bride’s big day. She was super responsive to any communication, even accommodating last minute requests – including a bridesmaid asking to get her makeup done the day of. She listened to what everyone wanted for their hair and makeup and was able to accomplish the looks with no problems. To top it off, she has some of the most affordable prices I’ve seen of anyone in the Bay Area. I would highly recommend Amy, you can’t go wrong hiring her for your wedding or any special event you may have!

Amy was a joy to work with! She was great at listening to me and my bridesmaids to deliver exactly what we all wanted on my wedding day. The make-up and hair trial was fantastic too because she really wants to know your story and who you are to get a great sense of you as an individual. It really helped steer me in a direction that resulted in the style that was right for me.

There is not one bad thing to say about Amy! From the first time I emailed her about hairstyles, to the day of my wedding, I have only had the most positive experiences with her! She is so open and kind that it was a breeze to work with her and include her in my planning. On the day we booked her, she showed up right on time and had such a great attitude! She was so much fun to hang out with while getting ready; It was like having a friend over to do a makeover party! She did my hair and makeup as well as my one bridesmaid's hair and makeup. I couldn't be happier with the whole experience and the results! Our hair stayed perfectly for 10 hours and we danced ALL night! Our makeup was perfection and lasted the whole time too! It was a hot August wedding and our hair didn't sag and we didn't even look like we were sweating! AMAZING! Book her. It's the best choice.

I got married yesterday, and thanks to Amy my day was perfect. She did an absolutely amazing job! I loved what she did with my hair and make up for my big day, and she did it flawlessly with her makeup /hair knowledge and creativity. The six year old flower girl couldn't stop smiling after having her hair and make up done by Amy. I highly recommend Amy for any special occasion you want to look fabulous for!
