I'm so grateful I choose Flawless Faces! I don't wear much makeup in my day to day, so I scheduled a test a couple months before my wedding date to get a feel for what type of bridal look suited me. My MUA was so patient and conversational. The day of my wedding, she was on time, professional, and overall fun to have in the bridal suite. She made each person getting serviced in the chair feel special and heard with their preferences. What was most important to me was finding a MUA that had the skills to services people of different ethnicities and skin tones. As a Black woman, I've had so many challenges with non-Black MUAs not understanding my complexion or tone (or not even having my shades on hand). Flawless Faces nailed it on my wedding day with me and all of my bridesmaids! Truly skilled and giving that personal touch!

The ladies at Flawless Faces were amazing to work with and left everybody happy with their hair and makeup. They worked with myself (bride), 8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, a grandma and an aunt. Every single person was very happy with their work and the team at Flawless Faces made our morning run very easy and smoothly with no hiccups or delays. Thank you so much for everything <3

Cara (one of Carina’s team members) was an absolute dream as my Bridal wedding makeup artist. After a bad experience elsewhere, I found her late in the wedding planning process, and she truly exceeded all expectations. She was not only incredibly talented but also so kind and thoughtful. I would recommend Cara to anyone, from Mothers of the Bride to the Bride herself. She was simply exceptional!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Flawless Faces was the best hair and makeup team I could have hired for my wedding on July 20th. To start, Carina and Ashley were incredibly accommodating when I came back for hair/makeup trials on 3 separate occasions due to my own indecision. On Wedding Day, the team came onsite and made me and my bridesmaids look and feel absolutely stunning. Aside from being very talented hair & makeup artists, they were punctual, professional, & respectful - not to mention flexible to the many requests of my bridal party. I could not recommend Carina, Ashley, and the entire Flawless team more!

Feliz, Jennifer, and Jacqui were absolutely amazing! Myself and all the bridesmaids were very happy with our makeup and hair (which I feel is rare from my experience being in other weddings!). They also arrived early and remained ahead of schedule, which was so helpful in keeping the day on schedule and reducing stress on a busy day. The location for bridal trials is also super cute and comfy, making it a really relaxing experience all around.

I cannot say enough great things about the Flawless Faces team! I had my wedding on 6/17/2023 and they did a wonderful job on makeup and hair for me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law. They arrived exactly on time and did a fabulous job of bringing everyone's inspiration photos to life. My bridal look was absolute PERFECTION and stayed that way all the way until the end of the reception (12+ hours after my appointment, including a ton of dancing!!).
Thank you Cara, Jennifer, and Rosie for creating our stunning wedding day looks! I highly recommend Flawless Faces to everyone!

Thank you Flawless Faces for saving the day! The hair stylist I originally hired for my wedding flaked days before my wedding and I needed to hire someone else! My coordinator recommended Flawless Faces and I reached out. Carina got back to me right away letting me know she was confirming if she had anyone available. Thankfully, Marjan was available! Carina sent me clear pricing and a detailed contract. I could tell they were a professional business who has a lot of experience in the industry.
On our wedding day, Marjan arrived early and began styling hair. She is so incredibly talented and styled several of my bridesmaids’ and mom’s hair beautifully! She was a class act and everyone commented on how gentle she was! Everyone was so happy with their hair and they looked wonderful! Thank you so much, Marjan!

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to your amazing team for making all of my bridal hair and makeup dreams come true! My bridesmaids were truly looking flawless/radiant and they all absolutely loved their hair and makeup! From the trials to the day of the wedding, I couldn't have been happier with my experience with Flawless Faces. Ashley, Marlene, Cara, and Amy made everyone feel so comfortable, kept on schedule, and made sure everyone felt their best!
Thank you again for making my wedding day so special!

Carina, I just wanted to say thank you for helping make yesterday so perfect for me and my girls. You and your team are so professional and talented. I would 100% use you and your team again and absolutely recommend you! You truly went above and beyond. Additionally, you also had your hair team there for a last minute emergency. You responded to texts immediately and did not hesitate to help. I cannot say how relieving that was. Again, thank you for all of your hard work and attention to detail.

I was so impressed with Flawless Faces from the beginning! The bridal trials were so helpful and Carina was great to work with. On the wedding day of, both Mandy and Marjan were on time and took the time to listen to each girl about their exact vision and what they like. They did such a fantastic job on each girl, and I can’t rave enough about how beautiful they made me look! I was above and beyond thrilled with their service and quality. Would 100% recommend them to anyone who wants to look flawless on their big day! Thank you Flawless Faces!

Ashely from Flawless Faces did my wedding hair, and it was stunning! I was a bit picky about the style, and she delivered better than I could have imagined. All of my guests kept complimenting how classy and elegant my hair looked, and I completely agree. Thank you so much Ashley! Also I was in communication with Carina to book the services, and she was super responsive. Great customer service. Thank you again!

Due to Covid, I had my wedding postponed and then cancelled in Hawaii and had to start all over again for wedding in my hometown, Laguna Beach. I found Flawless Faces on The Knot and based on their photos & reviews decided to book them. Due to living in AZ, I didnt get to do a hair trial and just had to trust it would all work out. The booking process was very easy.
Lexie (Hair) & Nathalie (Makeup) showed up right on time with big smiles and contagious energy on the day of my wedding. Both of them were delightful and made the getting ready process so fun. They have great personalities and joined right in. Their work is impeccable. Both Mothers and 3 Bridesmaids absolutely LOVED their hair & makeup. Everyone looked stunning. The best versions of themselves. I have never seen hair & makeup done so well in all the weddings I have been in/to.
As for myself (the bride) I could not have been happier with my hair & makeup. Completely exceeded my expectations. I felt amazing on my wedding day. I would recommend them any day of the week and absolutely book them again!! Thank you for making our wedding day extra perfect.

While Carina was highly recommended, I could not go through with booking her for our wedding after the horrible experience I had with her for the trial makeup/hair. When I arrived (on time), I had to wait 30 minutes before she was done with the previous person until she started me. I explained to her my vision (with photos) for the makeup I wanted for my big day. After doing my eyeshadow, I looked in the mirror and told her that I wanted something just slightly different (adding more gold so it wasn't so light in the middle). She then started raising her voice and complaining that this was what was in the photos that I showed her and that any other makeup person would've done it like that too. After complaining, she added the gold that I asked for but I was so uncomfortable and did not want to give her any feedback for fear that she would get mad at me again. When talking to me about the wedding, she kept asking a question and not listening to my answer and then asking me another question. It was obvious that she wasn't listening to me. Then, she started gossiping to the other person with her (who later did my hair) about the awful bride they had that day, about a wedding planner they didn't like, etc. I couldn't believe that they were blatantly gossiping about these people in front of me. I knew that I did not want to have her do my makeup for the wedding at all. I did NOT want her negativity during the wedding! I didn't even like how my makeup turned out that day...

Flawless Faces is AMAZING! I can't say enough good things about them! They did my make up for our engagement photos as well as on our wedding day. Each time they listened to what I wanted to create a flawless look. If you are looking for a hair and make up vendor without all the stress I would highly recommend Flawless Faces!

Marissa (hair) and Stephanie (makeup) were so great on the day of my wedding! They helped me deal with my crazy family and kept me feeling calm and sane. They did an AMAZING job on everyone’s hair and makeup, and mine was FLAWLESS :P. I got so many compliments! They were very prompt and kept to the timeline they created. I would hire them again and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for hair/makeup for a wedding, rehearsal, or any special occasion. :)

Carina did my make up for my wedding day as well as a few of my bridesmaids' make up. I did the trial with her beforehand and was a little nervous getting my make up done ( I don't usually like my make up when I get it professionally done). Carina knew exactly what she was doing and listened to what I wanted. I absolutely loved my wedding day make up and my bridesmaids who had their make up done loved it too. We got so many compliments on how good it looked through out the day and night. I would 100% book Flawless Faces again. Carina was also really cool and fun to talk to.

Carina has done my bridesmaid makeup numerous times, so when it was my turn to get married, she was literally the first vendor I booked! She is an extremely talented makeup artist and knows how to make you look like the best version of YOURSELF. I felt beautiful - she gave me that extra boost of confidence on our wedding day. Carina and her team (she only hires the best of the best) are all kind, bubbly, and reliable. They made me and my bridesmaids truly "flawless", I am so grateful!!

It has taken me a couple of months to write this review, but the only reason for that is because I cannot accurately describe my gratitude. There is a reason why this company is called "Flawless Faces." Carina did such an incredible job on my makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and our moms. Our wedding was the hottest day of the year at 109 degrees, yet my makeup still looked fresh until 11:00 PM. Ashley is so talented as well. Although I could not accurately describe the style I was going for with my hair, she nailed it! I am so incredibly happy that I made the decision to go with Flawless Faces for my big day. They are so well organized and friendly that it makes the big day go smoothly. Now I am just trying to find excuses to use them again for future events. Love these girls!

Flawless Faces was everything on my wedding day in June 2018! Susie did hair & Nathalie did makeup for myself & the women in my family. They really listened to the what the ladies were looking for & made us all feel gorgeous. They were always smiling & a real pleasure to work with. I hope I will have a reason to use them again in the future. I would absolutely recommend them to any brides-to-be. :)

My husband and I were married at The Villa SJC this spring and Flawless Faces was our beauty team. Carina and Susie did a fantastic job at makeup and hair for myself and five bridesmaids. They were professional, flexible and skilled.
At my hair and makeup trial, Carina recommended a product for my skin that has been really effective. Flawless Faces also styled my hair and makeup for our engagement photos. They created a soft, romantic style for our wedding and a fun, flirty look for the engagement photos.
I was full of nerves the morning of the wedding, and Susie and Carina were incredibly helpful. Susie is down to earth and Carina has a great sense of humor. We enjoyed chatting with them. They both did a fabulous job of making us look and feel our best. Thank you, Flawless Faces!

I had the pleasure of working with four members of the Flawless Faces team and all of them made my entire wedding experience literally flawless! I do not normally wear a lot of makeup, so getting my makeup done is always an experience for me. Carina and Stephanie were both able to give me perfect makeup without making me feel like I was wearing a ton of makeup. I had my makeup done for my engagement photos and they turned out beautiful. On my wedding day, Stephanie, Ashley and Cristina were all prompt and helped us stay on schedule while making us beautiful at the same time. My makeup and hair were still nearly perfect after 10+ hours of fun and dancing. I would highly recommend Flawless Faces for their skill and professionalism.

I booked hair and makeup about 4 months in advance of my big day. Carina did the contract and answered all questions promptly. Shanon did my hair and makeup and the same for my mom for the big day. We also had a trial run with her and she was amazing both times. Listened to exactly what we wanted and makeup was flawless for the big day. She also did a beautiful job on my clip in extensions I had. I felt like a million bucks. Got a ton of compliments and surprisingly kept all night on my oily face!

The Hair (Susie) and Makeup (Stephanie) Team from Flawless Faces was professional, friendly, helpful, patient, experienced, and above all extremely talented! Honestly, I can not find the words to describe how over the top exceptional they were. My daughter, the bride and her bridal party looked like they just stepped out of a bridal magazine. I too, as mother of the bride felt so beautiful and confident. We got so many compliments! The owner, Carina is also professional and efficient from contract signing to follow up to final payments. We would highly recommend Flawless Faces to anyone! I wish we could give them more stars. They get an A+ from us!

I had the pleasure of working with Carina for my makeup lesson, engagement photos, boudoir photos as well as my wedding day! She is so much fun and she is so talented. My wedding day she was on time and all set up by the time we arrived. My bridesmaids and mother looked insanely beautiful like I couldn't even believe it. I mean they are gorgeous girls to start with but Carina did such a great job and the makeup photographed so well! I LOVED my makeup, it was exactly what I wanted and Carina listened to what I voiced I wanted. It was a hot day and all of our makeup held up all day long! We got so many compliments on our makeup. She was great with all different ages as well as ethnicities. She did 8 of us total that day and kept right on schedule. She made my wedding day perfect and was so relaxed throughout the entire process.

Carina and Ashley were amazing!! We had 7 girls and they finished all of us with time to spare. My girls and I looked amazing. We showed them a picture of the look we wanted and got exactly that. Not only that, but our makeup and hair all stayed into the next day without moving. They were super sweet and came prepared. I highly recommend them for anyone who wants to be beautiful!

Flawless faces did a fantastic job at my wedding. The make -up was ... FLAWLESS. My Mother and new Mother-in-Law were thrilled with their hair and make-up, as were all of my bridesmaids. I loved my makeup. Carina did a fantastic job on make-up. I was happy with my hair, I thought it looked good, but did not ultimately get the style I was going for. I felt like the hair stylists were not as current on the styles or skilled in getting the look I wanted. I ended up settling after the 2nd stylist, but like I said - I love my pictures and I felt like I looked great. I would recommend flawless faces for makeup - she is fantastic!

I hired Flawless Faces after a recommendation from my friend you has done some modeling for them in the past and I could not have made a better choice for my wedding hair & makeup!!!! I definitely would recommend to any brides to have a trial with your hair & makeup team before the big day. Having that trial helped me really buckle down what it was that I exactly wanted and helped develop that relationship with my stylists.
Susie did hair and Sara did makeup for myself and all my bridesmaids and the moms. They did an absolutely fantastic job and all of us ladies kept saying how beautiful we felt. The moms and girls kept talking about how lovely they all felt :). I had the girls choose the hairstyle they wanted, so Susie had quite a task with accommodating all these different hairstyles, which she did a great job with. My wedding hair was even more stunning than I could have imagined!
Sara brought such a calm, gentle energy to the craziness of a wedding morning and made each girl feel gorgeous. My mom and mother-in-law were both a little nervous about getting their makeup done, mainly because they were worried about wrinkles etc. Sara made them feel at ease and used the airbrush foundation on them, myself, and some of the bridesmaids. A definite must! The airbrush gives you that "flawless face" and your makeup lasts all day!
Susie and Sara were early to their scheduled start times and got all 8 of us done in a super efficient timely manner! They were so wonderful to all of us and made me feel completely at ease.
Thank you to Carina for accommodating some last minute additions to hair and for organizing all the scheduling! Thank you Flawless Faces!
xoxo,
Samantha

My makeup was amazing and all the girls makeup was beautiful. I did not like how I wasn't informed of a traveling fee and a assistant fee. I signed the contract filled out what I wanted and then 2 weeks later I got it back with with a traveling fee. Which would be fine if I knew about it but fine whatever. But then a week later after that there was a assistant fee which isn't a lot but it's still the fact this is all in the month of my wedding and I thought we already had it figured out and getting a fourth contract was upsetting (The first one was another girls contract). The contract needs to be filled out first with the fees .. That's why there is a trial to get informed about where it is (traveling fee) and the prices on everything (assistant fee) but I was not. So I was upset about that but told her the day of and she said don't worry about the assistant fee. So that was nice but I wish it was all presented to me on the day of the trial especially because I told her I picked her because it was only 215 but she didn't say oh the traveling feel and the assistant fee in there. But I just want to inform people to make sure about the fees but I would go with them again because the makeup was perfect. I absolutely loved Shanon she was very professional and did an amazing job. Shanon knew exactly how to talk to a stressed out bride!

During my trail I was a little worried by how much makeup was applied to my face when I expressed how natural I wanted to look. Alicia was very nice, but I did feel a bit uncomfortable because she seemed to be pushing me out of my comfort zone more than I wanted for my wedding day look. My makeup and hair stylist was Ally, and she was hands-down the best!!!! I only booked because I trusted her right away at the trial that she'd style my hair and makeup to be whatever I really wanted. The morning of wedding. She was on time and set up quickly. She did a great job on all of my bridesmaids makeup too. I was beyond happy with how great my makeup looked on my fair skin and my hair was curled perfectly. I'd book flawless faces if you could work with Ally.

Wedding party of 5 and 2 moms made beautiful for our big day. Carina and Michelle came to the venue and we spent all morning getting pretty together, listening to music, and just being girls. Carina did makeup for all the ladies, styling us all to our liking, different for each girl, but all looking like one wedding party. We all looked beyond gorgeous for our wedding photos! Michelle did hair for the ladies, some in up-do's some in loose waves, all stunning.
Carina is the owner of FF and she has such a warm heart. You can tell beauty is her life, she really loves what she does and she makes you feel more beautiful than you could have pictured. So responsive and helpful, the studio is adorable, Flawless Faces can't be beat!

Both my hair and my makeup artist were super nice and so skilled. They both had tons of experience and helped me figure out what I wanted. My makeup and hair still looked perfect THE NEXT MORNING!!!

I hired Flawless Faces to do the makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mom. Cara helped us on the day of and she did a wonderful job on everyone! We all got airbrush makeup which was great because it was super hot on the day of the wedding but all of our makeup stayed truly flawless all night. Cara did a great job in making sure that we all looked natural yet so beautiful by highlighting our individual features. They are actually very affordable too and they came to our hotel in Dana Point to do everyone's makeup. I would highly recommend using Flawless Faces!!

Flawless Faces is exactly what their name implies, Flawless! I had the pleasure of working with Shanon and Stephanie, who did my makeup, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 moms. Shanon did an amazing job on my makeup! I stayed looking flawless from start to finish on my special day. The girls all looked fabulous too! Shanon and Stephanie were so fun, and easy to work with. I cannot thank them, or Flawless Faces enough for the fantastic job they did beautifying everyone for on my wedding day!
Sincerely,

I couldn’t have been more excited to work with Flawless Faces after seeing and hearing so many great things. They truly lived up to everything I could have wished and hoped for, if not more! A brides hair and makeup is one of the most important things on our wedding day. I would dream about it leading up to our big day and I get emotional just thinking about it all. Wanting your makeup to last through the day, the tears and the many hugs and kisses. Needing your hair to stay just the way it was when you left your room. These ladies didn’t disappoint not one bit and I couldn’t thank them enough. My makeup and hair looked amazing from the beginning of the day until the end and would recommend them to everyone!! Not only did my hair and head piece stay in place but my makeup looked as good throughout the day as the moment it was put on. Not to mention giving me touch up lip stick and gloss to giving me something to calm my nerves as the moments came closer to me leaving for our beautiful Wayfarers Chapel. I love these ladies and will forever remember them for making me so beautiful on one of the most important days of my life.

Flawless faces is the best! I have used them for my engagement photos, sisters wedding and wedding trial. They traveled all the way to temecula for my November wedding, which was so awesome. I absolutely loved how I looked and felt on my wedding day and it's all thanks to Carina and Sarah. They did such an amazing job making my girls and I flawless for my big day. My hair and makeup still looked amazing at the end of the night. I highly recommend flawless faces!

I was referred by a friend and I am so happy I was! Everyone there is so sweet. I did most communication thru email, which was perfect! The always replied super fast.
Heather did the whole bridal party's make up.... and she is AMAZING. Everyone decided to do the airbrush and it was totally worth the extra $10! every girl including myself felt amazing! and the makeup lasted all night... I literally did not touch anything up once...just lipstick.
Ashley did our hair, and she is just as AMAZING. I love that she did a different style for every girl, but she had braids in each style. Once again... no one had to touch up their hair all night!!
everything about this company is amazing, great customer service, wonderful and experienced employees and such a cute studio.
I recommend them with confidence to any bride!!!

All I have to say is, my pictures say it all, and that's not just my face in my pictures, that is all of the girls that I had done for the wedding. My best friends got to experience the best make up artists!! It truly was amazing, and beautiful how Karina just kind of knew how you would like your make up done. She was great at letting you know that it's going to feel like you may have a lot of make up on, but it's not going to look like it and that was 100% true!!! I won't ever use anyone else again for any professional make up I need done for any photo op.! And neither will my friends, I have already referred Karina to at least 5 other friends and they have had nothing but amazing things to say.

Hi Carina!
An official Thank You letter will be coming your way however I wanted to drop a quick note to tell you about the amazing experience I had with Shannon.
Shannon was SO professional and sweet, not to mention stunning! She did my mothers makeup first and I can honestly say that I have never seen my mom look more gorgeous in my life! My mom couldn't stop taking selfies, that's how happy she was with how she looked.
Next was my grandmother, Shannon was so patient and understanding with what my grandma wanted and was comfortable with and again, I have never seen her look more stunning.
There were a couple of mishaps while getting ready such as my mom forgetting my veil and having to rush off to get it in another city from where we were! My nerves were SHOT to say the least but Shannon was so comforting with me. She made sure I had water and something to eat so I wouldn't pass out with the stress and nerves combined. We were running an hour late because of the veil issue however Shannon never rushed my makeup application and I never felt any tension from her. She worked with my photographer and videographers without any issues and was so professional and sweet with them.
When I finally caught a glimpse of myself I was blown away. She made me look like a much better glammed version of myself!! I felt STUNNING and honestly flawless. The compliments were and still are endless about how my makeup looked. I felt like a melt worthy princess because of her.
The experience with Shannon was more than I could ever have expected and I am thankful for her for more than just her amazing makeup application, she is a wonderful person!!!!
Thank you SO much!!

I would highly recommend Flawless Faces for your wedding or big event. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and so did my bridesmaids - we all looked perfect and the pictures turned out amazing! It is definitely worth the money to have your make up (and the bridesmaids) done - especially after spending so much on photography. Everyone told me they have never seen me look so beautiful and I am so in love with my pictures and how we look in them!
A huge thank you to Carina and the Flawless Faces team for being a part of my big day.

My idea of wearing makeup is the bare minimum, very natural, so the idea of having to wear more for photographs terrified me. Flawless Faces absolutely squashed that fear. I have never looked more beautiful, my skin literally looked "flawless" and I did not feel like I had anything caked on. They did an excellent job not only on me, but my bridal party, mom and mother-in-law as well, making each of them look their absolute best self. Best part is everyone's makeup stayed absolutely perfect throughout the entire evening (and some had it done at 9am!) Would absolutely use them again.

I hired Carina to do my makeup and my bridesmaids and mothers makeup for my wedding. She did the most beautiful job in making all of feel our best. She did my trial run as well which made me confident the day of would go smoothly. She was quick which was so great for getting 7people done in a timely manner. She was very sweet and great to work with. Highly recommend this company!!!!

Flawless Faces brings out the beauty in everyone! Carina and her team are extremely professional and talented. Each interaction I have had with them have been fantastic. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup for my wedding in 2011. The artists listened to what I wanted, rather than some other makeup professionals I had gone to for trial sessions. Since my wedding, I have returned to Carina for hair and makeup for other special events. I always feel my best after visiting Flawless Faces. I also had a private makeup lesson last summer. I receive daily compliments on my makeup, thanks to the techniques I learned from Carina! Amazing!

Carina and her girls at Flawless Faces are amazing. I was given her as a recommendation from other brides I went to school with, people from work and people in the industry highly recommended her. I had Carina do my make-up for my engagement photos as a trial run and she did such an amazing job and our photos turned out perfect. I knew she was the one for the wedding and the bridesmaids for make-up. She did an amazing job on everyone's make-up for my wedding. My make-up was flawless and photographed so well and all the bridesmaids looked gorgeous and she tied in our colors into their make-up to make it look so gorgeous but not crazy colored make-up. Love Carina and her girls and will definitely use them for any occasion I need my make-up done and recommend them to everyone!!! Thanks Carina!

Overall I think the final outcome looked pretty good, but my hair was not the same as what I wanted. When I asked to pull some strands down, the girl said it would be too hard because my hair was already pinned. Also, one of the 3 girls finished early and literally just stood there with her makeup luggage in hand waiting to be paid which was rude since no one else was done and I had to write out a check while getting my hair done in the chair. It was also not told to us that the girls all get paid separately, not through the company. The communication of the owner is lacking.

I had hair and make up done for me, my 5 BM, flower girl and moms by the team and Flawless Faces and we loved it! Everyone loved their hair and make up and we got so many compliments. Carina, the owner, was very professional and communicated well throughout the planning process. I highly recommend doing a trial run before the big day. You'll get a chance to meet your artist and communicate what you want. Shannon and Ashley were so friendly and understood what I wanted. I would highly recommend them.

Carina set me up with a wonderful team for my wedding hair and make-up...along with the hair and make-up of ten bridesmaids, mom, grandma and aunt. Jo, Sarah and Leilani were so pleasant and professional. They made the day so easy (even when we started to get crunched for time I started to get a little worried). Everyone in the bridal party looked incredible and I loved the way by hair and make-up looked. They listed to what I wanted and made me feel so special. I would highly recommend Flawless Faces (especially Jo, Sarah and Leilani). They did an amazing job!
