Emi came to the rescue on my wedding day. Unfortunately, I learned my original makeup artist was no longer available the day before my wedding. This was extremely stressful knowing I would have my makeup done for the first time by someone the day of my wedding. Knowing this, Emi took her time to reassure me and talked through everything which greatly eased my anxiety. We talked through makeup brands and styles to ensure I was happy with the final look. I would highly recommend booking Emi as a vendor.

Emi was such a delight to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable with her calm demeanor and friendliness. Emi was very well prepared and asked us beforehand our desired style and provided simple hair preparation instructions which really made it so easy for us on wedding day. loved how Emi asked info on how we normally do our makeup and really wanted to elevate our everyday look while still making us feel like our normal selves. I think it’s so important to take that into consideration because so many times people don’t and are not satisfied. I was blown away by my hair and makeup when I looked in the mirror. I started tearing up because I felt so beautiful and was so thankful for Emi. Emi made my hair and makeup dreams come true! I felt so beautiful and confident all day long. I can’t thank emi enough! All the girls were so satisfied with their hair and makeup and received serval compliments.

Emi was absolutely fantastic! Before my tryout, she reached out to learn more about what I wanted. During my tryout, she took it even further by asking insightful questions about me, my wedding theme, and my preferences. I shared just one picture with her, and she absolutely aced the look! On my wedding day, Emi was early and began working her magic on my entire wedding party, making everyone look stunning. Emi is very professional, but she brings a sense of calm and serenity that can put any bride at ease, taking the stress out of the big day. I wholeheartedly recommend her and will definitely return to her for future events! Thank you, Emi!

I had the best experience with Emi! She is so kind and so talented; she brought my hair and makeup dreams to life. She came to do hair & makeup for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day - it was so worth it to feel my best all weekend and my look stayed in place perfectly during a hot summer weekend! My bridesmaids loved working with her as well, she made us all feel so special and beautiful. I can’t recommend her enough!!

EMI was very understanding and easy to work with. I ended up completely changing my hairstyle the week before the wedding and she was able to pivot and help me find good quality clip in extensions to use to pull the hairstyle off! Very sweet woman

I am so glad I found Emi for my wedding! She is such a kind and talented person. We started things off with a consultation & trial where she truly listened to my ideas, offered her thoughts and did the full hair and makeup look. Talked through slight tweaks and adjustments and took photos along the way. I wanted a somewhat non-traditional hairstyle and she really to get it exactly where we hoped. I highly recommend people book a pre-trial with Emi, which helped work through any concerns or hesitations.
Leading up to the wedding she had great communication, checking in frequently to make sure my vision still lined up.
Day of she was on time and completely professional, not to mention so NICE, it felt like having a friend there with us, not some stranger. She did my hair & makeup as well as family and flower girls. She took the time to listen to each and everyone of them and tailored their look to them, not just a cookie cutter typical approach. My hair and makeup remained flawless all day, even while standing on a ocean side cliff and dancing all night. I highly recommend Emi!
I'm thrilled to connect with you on this magical journey in creating your dream wedding. I have been in the Beauty Industry as a licensed cosmetologist for 20 years. In that time I have enjoyed many years of doing makeup, cuts, color for everyday clients to working commercial work, in luxury retail and bridal. Lastly, I have hair and makeup homes in San Francisco and Healdsburg. Come see me! I would love to meet you.
