Instant Pretty Lashes

I highly recommend "Instant Pretty Lashes" for her outstanding services in preparing the bridal party's hair, makeup, and lashes for my son and daughter in laws wedding in Napa. Her professionalism, friendly demeanor, and punctuality were exceptional. With great attention to detail, she flawlessly executed the bridal party's looks, creating a stunning appearance that enhanced their natural beauty. She provided a comfortable and enjoyable experience for the bridal party, ensuring a relaxed atmosphere throughout. Their commitment to excellence and exceptional customer service make them a top choice for any bridal or special occasion beauty services.

Christina and her team are amazing. I had a not-great experience with a makeup trial from a different artist. Christina listened to all of my concerns (creasing and makeup settling into my fine lines). She paid extra attention to these areas at our makeup trial and I felt really comfortable with who I hired. Wedding day was EVEN BETTER than our trial. Christina and Erin took their time and were so patient on my hair and makeup. Christina gave me the BEST lymphatic facial massage. I swear I still think about it weeks later. She had my skin glowing! Wedding day morning and I still had no idea what to do with my hair. Erin and I threw around options and I’m so happy with what we decided. My hair and makeup were the perfect glam. There was also some family drama happening in the suite. Christina quickly calmed the vibes in the room (while doing my makeup) and I don’t know what I would have done without her in that moment!

STOP YOUR SEARCH NOW! If Instant Pretty Lashes is available for your wedding then you NEED to hire them! Christina and her team are beyond amazing! I needed last minute hair and makeup for my Chinese tea wedding ceremony and Christina swooped in and saved the day! Christina and Alexis made my prep time so fun, comfortable and relaxing and went above and beyond to make sure I got the look I wanted for my special day! I can't express how impressed I am with the care Christina and her team provided and the professionalism they showed. After just a few minutes with them they felt like old friends and I was instantly at ease and able to enjoy the rest of the day! Seriously, book them, you will not be disappointed! Anytime I need anything they are the team I will call! Thanks ladies for making me feel AMAZING!

Christina and her team are absolutely amazing! From the trial to my wedding day they kept me smiling the whole time. Special shout out to Erin for being the only person I know that can make my hair keep a curl for hours. Christina was super responsive through the whole process and even worked in a few last minute additions for my bridesmaids. She even made my makeup withstand a little bit of rain and alot of happy tears. Thank you for making me feel beautiful on my memorable day.

I first met Christina and the Instant Pretty Lashes team at my friend's wedding - I was a bridesmaid who got my hair and makeup done too. I loved my makeup so much and the experience was great. So when I first got engaged and started the wedding process I immediately knew I wanted to go with Christina and her team. Of course, I was not disappointed. The trial went fantastic - Erin on hair and Christina on makeup are a dream combo! On the day of the wedding, Christina and Morgan killed it with makeup. My bridal party and flower girl looked BEAUTIFUL and I felt amazing. Erin powered through by doing hair for everyone. Expect fun mixed in with experience and professionalism. The Instant Pretty Lashes team are some of the best that you can get in the Bay Area and they don't disappoint.

Where do I even begin Christina and her team of ladies are nothing short of amazing. I hired Christina and her team of beauty goddesses for our wedding in Los Gatos October 2022 and she and her amazing team far exceeded our expectations. I gave her a tall order with me, five bridesmaids, 3 moms, a tight timeline, disgustingly early start time, and an overnight stay and she ensured everything was perfect. Erin, Nicole, and Christina were kind, professional, and took all the diverse ideas, visions, and individual concerns of the girls and made them feel heard and BEAUTIFUL while ensuring their comfort and confidence. My hair and makeup stayed ALL DAY for the wedding and even after a night full of dancing and all day picture taking my makeup looked fresh and my hair in place despite climbing in the redwoods. From the moment I met with Christina, to my HMU trial, and finally to my wedding day Christina and her Instant Pretty Lashes team was helpful and with me every step of the way eliminating any concerns and nerves I may have had leading up to that day. I am honored to of had the team that Christina put together for us on my wedding day. I will ALWAYS recommend Instant Pretty Lashes and will definitely be using Christina in the future for my beauty and makeup needs 🤍

Christina did myself, my sister, and my mom's makeup for my wedding and it turned out amazing! Everyone was thrilled with the results (and the three of us are all very particular). Christina made me feel comfortable and even allowed to me to step aside and do my lip liner (I am very particular about this) to ensure that I was happy with the result. She followed up with me leading up to the event to make sure she had all the colors I wanted to complete my look and went above and beyond. Morgan did my bridesmaids and they were all super happy with their results. The makeup lasted through the entire night. Both women were professional, punctual, and fun to chat with. I can't recommend them enough!

This team was absolutely spectacular. I was so blown away by the level of service, communication, and experience we had. I had a million questions and Christina was so responsive and patient. She was super flexible (which was so appreciated) and her team did the best job. Everyone's hair and make up were fantastic and they made me look and feel so amazing. I used them for a first look photoshoot the day before as well as for my wedding make up and WOW. You can tell they have years of experience and knowledge. If you are hesitant about who you want to do your hair and makeup, BOOK THEM! I am super picky and specific about what I wanted and they went above and beyond. Honestly, they are so worth it.

Thanks sooo much! My ladies were very happy. They felt comfortable talking and giggling with you the whole time. The setting was a magical moment .They looked Beautiful and received ALOT of compliments! Not enough stars here! 10plus!

Best Mobile Hair & Makeup Artists in the Bay Area!!! I had Christina take care of all my beauty needs for my wedding weekend. We did 3 Makeup sessions and everytime I was absolutely amazed at how gorgeous I looked! She did my engagement photoshoot look, my welcome party look, rehearsal day look, and wedding day look. The fact that she could come to our location was EVERYTHING! No one else is doing this and it was so convenient! She came up to my hotel room and did the eyelashes in her cute and comfortable van because the lighting in there was amazing! She is so wonderful to talk with and I believe I made a new friend during all our sessions. She has good energy, is professional, and responded to my many many many questions and concerns during the entire year before my wedding. On the big day, I fought back the tears after I saw myself in the mirror. My now husband said he's never seen me so beautiful! I've never seen my mother or my sister look so beautiful and confident. Truly she made sure everyone in my party was taken care of and looked absolutely gorgeous! I would give her 100 stars if I could! I am so glad I decided to go with the Instant Pretty Lashes beauty team!

I absolutely love Christina and Flo! They were so amazing and fun. Christina was really easy to communicate with. Flo did mine and my bridal party’s hair; since I get along with her so well I switched over to her as my hairstylist. I highly recommend them. They make the whole experience easy and fun.

Christina and her team exceeded ALL expectations! As someone who isn't great with makeup, hiring the wright person for my wedding day was extremely important to me. So much so that I scheduled 3 makeup trials with 3 different companies. The first 2 trials were huge let downs. Thank God for Christina who listened to exactly what I was requesting. She chose the perfect combination of shadow, cheek and lip colors to complement my skin and the overall look I was going for. My Hair was done by Erin, who also did an amazing job of giving me the waves I had requested. My hair and makeup needed ZERO touch up - ZERO from the time they left my house until the evening had ended. In addition to myself, 8 of my girlfriends also had both their hair and makeup done by Instant Pretty Lashes. They all looked absolutely stunning. I can honestly say that there wasn't a single complaint from anyone, only rave reviews and comments about hiring the team next time there was a reason to. Not only was Christina professional and organized, but she is also a genuinely kind person who all of us enjoyed spending time with. Here amazing Mercedes mobile solon is just the icing on the cake. I have a small home, so having the mobile salon allowed plenty of space for all of my friends and I to relax in my house while girls took turns being pampered in the salon. I would 100% use Instant Pretty Lashes again! I honestly couldn't have been happier with how my makeup and hair looked on the one day that it really mattered. Thank you, Instant Pretty Lashes!!!

Christina and Flo did hair and makeup for myself and a few girls in my wedding party, and I can't say enough good things about them! I am not someone who normally wears much makeup so I was a little nervous about having it professionally done, and Christina listened to me, took my feedback, and did everything absolutely beautifully. My bridesmaid and I have very different facial structure and skin tone and she matched the makeup palette to us each perfectly. Flo did hair for a few of the girls and she was also fantastic! We got compliments on our hair all night from guests. Their mobile salon is super cute and fun, and the ladies were very sweet and funny and just really fun to work with through the whole process. I highly recommend Instant Pretty Lashes!!

I cannot recommend this vendor enough! Christina and Flo were a great team for my wedding day. I had a large and diverse group of bridesmaids, and all the makeup/hair looks turned out beautifully on everyone! They were also very experienced with mature hair and skin, as my mother-in-law and grandma looked fabulous. As for myself, I was so happy with the final result- I looked exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day: classy and super glamorous!!

Christina and her team where more than great, they were PHENOMINAL! If I could give her more than 5 stars I would! Christina’s team did my hair/makeup for my wedding and it by far exceeded my expectations. Christina was flexible and communicative throughout the entire process - beginning to end, not leaving one detail unturned. During my trial, she was very attentive and patient when I showed her ideas and was extremely supportive when we talked through different looks and ideas that I had. She NAILED the perfect wedding look for me! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me look stunning on my wedding day, I felt like a queen. She is also amazing with brow lamination; my brows had never looked fuller and more FAB. I would seriously consider getting your brows laminated the week before your wedding! Christina is extremely professional, easy going and made me feel so comfortable. She also has the best energy and plays the best music! My makeup stayed on all night - even in the June heat. It looked perfect all the way through even after hours of dancing! My hair never went flat and had volume throughout the entire wedding start to finish – Hollywood waves intact! If you are looking for a MUA - look no further - Christina is your woman! I will be hiring her for every event I attend going forward! Thank you so much, Christina!

Instant Pretty Lashes was a blessing in disguise for me. They were recommend to me by a friend but when I first reached out to them they were already booked until I had to reschedule again due to covid and they had availability for my new date. When I was able to book Christina I was very excited especially when I saw her van. My hair and makeup was everything I expected and more. Even my entourages hair and make up was gorgeous. We had amazing photos and videos in their mobile van which was really fun. I love the team that Christina had on my wedding day. We had so much fun with her team they were so amazing and fun to be around with. The champagne that Christina bought was also really good. I also love the fact that my bridal package came with Lashes. It was a nice relaxing day getting my Lashes down on the week of the wedding. Hiring instant Pretty Lashes was one of the best things I did for my wedding. Everyone's hair and makeup was gorgeous and I can't wait to see my photos. Thank you Christina to you and your team. You guys were amazing. Best way to end 2021. P.S. I still have my Lashes on and I'm loving every bit of it.

Christina is incredible! She is very professional and personable. She did my hair & makeup for my elopement. She pays attention to detail and made sure I was 100 percent satisfied with my look. I received so many compliments on my makeup.

This team of ladies did an absolutely fabulous job making me and my girls look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! It was so refreshing to have such lively and fun ladies to pump me up on my big day. I highly recommend them if you need a killer glam squad.

WOWWW!! I can’t even begin to tell you how AMAZING Christina and Erin are!!! Christina was VERY communicative and responsive with me when booking the trial and day of appointment, she sent my paperwork and it was clearly laid out how much I owed for the deposit and the day of. When I went for my trial I was so amazed by her BEAUTIFUL setup in her van. It was so clean, stylish, organized, and she even let me pick the music to listen to while she did my makeup☺️I felt like I was getting a massage on my face when she was doing my makeup. She was so incredibly gentle and kind. Even if she had to move my face or tell me to “look this way” or “that way” she was AWESOME! Erin came in to do my hair and she made MAGIC happen. My hair was pretty short and I brought a picture of a hair style that I wanted (of someone with longer hair), she did the most beautiful work!! I enjoyed my time with the two of them so much! On my wedding day it was even more fun!! We got to setup in a big room and and they just went to work on making me look beautiful! I’ve never gotten so many compliments on my look before and it made me feel like a QUEEN! I shared with Christina after the trial that I would like more lashes and eyeliner and she made me look STUNNING!! My makeup exceeded my expectations, I was so so happy with how everything turned out❤️ Erin did a PHENOMENAL job with my hair! Omgosh the magic that girl does is like WHOA!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend these two🥰 We’ll be doing our engagement photos in a few months and I’ll be hiring the same crew! Yes we did it backwards 😂

Christina and her team are AMAZING! I cannot recommend them enough. They are professional, prompt and do amazing work. It was 105 degrees for our June wedding and everyone's hair and make up stayed perfectly! Christina was amazing to work with and responded timely to my emails/questions. I was so thankful for her flexibility during COVID and she made sure to work with us when we had to reschedule and reschedule again. You will not be disappointed when you hire Christina and her team!!!

Christina went above and beyond to make me look amazing for my special day. I couldn’t give her higher regards if I tried. Truly made my day so special.

I loved my experience with instant pretty lashes from start to beginning! They made me feel my best on my special day my wedding! They also were so pleasant to be around and very professional. I would highly recommend and would absolutely use again. Thank you so much!!

If you are currently reading this review you need to stop and go book Christina before she is not available. We had a wedding party of 5 and 2 moms and Christina was able to get us ready at the time we needed. She is an amazing makeup artist and really gets to know you and connects with you. She even brought us a bag of snacks and some champagne. Christina also really pays attention to what you need, For example, my skin is REALLY sensitive and she was able to work with my skin type. At one point my eye was tearing and she gave me a little fan to stop the tearing it helped so much. If I dod not have that fan who knows how much more my eye would have been crying. Oh and she has a makeup van that pretty much goes anywhere. If, you are still reading this review and you have not booked her yet you need to go do that now and not think twice about it.

They did an amazing job! I got so many compliments on my bridal make-up and hair. I photographed really well. My vision was captured perfectly. The ladies also were so complimentary and uplifting that I left for my ceremony feeling happy and confident! I will absolutely go to them for any future events.

Christina and Erin were great to work with! I had a trial with them before my wedding to curate my wedding look and they were both very fun and professional. They listened to my concerns and were able to work with me to create a look that made me feel both comfortable and beautiful. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again for any glam needs.

Christina was such a pleasure to work with! I truly had a phenomenal experience all around from my trial makeup appointment to my actual wedding day makeup appointment. She did a beautiful job on my makeup, my MOH & MOTB makeup. I would highly recommend her! Check out my YouTube channel at Life to the Fullest (with Allan & Drea) for a behind the scenes look at my makeup experience with Instant Pretty Lashes. We will post a video in the next few weeks. https://youtube.com/c/LifeToTheFullest

Christina is the best! She can create any look you want all while in the comfort of a private space anywhere you want bc it’s mobile! This was the most fun, easy, relaxing experience and it’s super clean and comfortable too. I have used her services multiple times now and she’s the best!

I LOVE Christina and Erin 💕. They are super nice. I had photos of the makeup look and hair I wanted. Christina And Erin was able to do exactly what I wanted and I looked Beautiful. They even made my Mom and Bridesmaids So beautiful 😍. I LOVE that the salon was mobile, My Wedding was in Monterey and they were able to accommodate us by coming to our location. They are the BOMB. I will definitely have them do my hair and makeup again for special events. I highly recommend them.

Christina and her talented crew are AMAZING. They arrived on time, worked quickly, super fun to work with, and made all of my ladies look and feel fabulous! With the craziness of a COVID wedding, I spent little time worrying about how I actually looked and spent more time on how nervous I felt about everything coming together. Christina, while focusing on doing my makeup(!), helped reassure me that everything was going to work out and made me feel so beautiful. 100% would hire Instant Pretty Lashes again!!

Christina and her team are a breath of fresh air... great communication from the start, organized and on it; as a planner those are all things we look for, but above that, she and her team are kind, personable and fun. Bringing a smile to your face as they pretty you and your wedding party up. We were won over and can't wait to work with them more often.

Christina was AMAZING! She did my make up for my wedding part one (because of COVID). She is magical! I wanted a more natural look since I normally don’t wear much make up and it turned out SO GOOD. She also made sure that my face wouldn’t ‘melt off’ with the heat. She will be doing my make up again for wedding part two and I am so excited. She really cares about what she does and makes very helpful recommendations too! I cannot recommend her enough!!

Christina was very professional and exceeded my expectations with her lash expertise. She was very gentle with my eyes & natural lashes. Christina always gave me good tips, and or recommendations on what style of lashes I was looking for. My lashes always looked amazing when I used Christina’s mobil services. When I removed my lashes I was surprised how my natural lashes were UNHARMED. I highly recommend Instant Pretty Lashes!

I had a wonderful experience with Christal on the day of my wedding a few months back. She made my vision come to life, and I felt beautiful and ready to walk down the aisle. I also had my lashes done by Christal a few days before the ceremony. They looked PERFECT and lasted almost all the way through my honeymoon. Christal is fun, kind, and professional. I highly recommend her for your future glam needs!

Christina and her crew are the best! Any time I need her she makes me look and feel beautiful! Make sure to reach out in advance if you have a special event!

Christina is the best! I have been getting eyelash extensions with her for a year now and I am absolutely obsessed with them. She does an amazing job and is always professional. You can’t beat the convenience either, with her mobile salon she comes to you. I highly recommend her!

Getting my lashes done has been a BIG game changer for me and I have no idea how I was living life before lashes. I was recommended by a friend a while ago and I always saw how amazing her lashes looked so I decided to give it a try and now I'm hooked. Not only is the experience amazing but I love the fact that Christina can meet you anywhere, home, work, wherever it is convenient. If you are looking for good quality lashes and a good therapist she's your girl. :)

Christina is the absolute best! I only go tovherfor eyelash extensions and I am absolutely obsessed with them! She is professional, kind and has such amazing energy! Highly recommend her!

I had been on the hunt for a credible lash artist, in preparation for my wedding this past August. Months prior I had a horrific experience with eyelash extensions. It was so bad that I almost gave up hope. But then the heavens opened up and shined its light on Instant Pretty Lashes and I found Christina. Thank Goodness for her! Not only were my eyelashes phenomenal on my wedding day, but they looked great all throughout my honeymoon in Cancun, and even when I came back! You can't beat the fact that she comes to YOU, in her mobile mini luxurious salon wherever is most convenient (home/work/school). In my case, she came to my house, which was a breath of fresh air during the madness of wedding week. My overall experience was amazing! If you want beautiful lashes, professionalism, and convenience, look no further.

I hired Christina and her team via a recommendation from my wedding planner for two of my wedding events (Mehendi and Sangeet) for hair and make up both days. In all the chaos that is an Indian wedding, Christina and her mobile beauty salon was such a welcome getaway! I had two very natural looks in mind and both looks were executed flawlessly without making me look overdone. Would highly recommend her to other brides for wedding makeup and hair. Thank you Christina for such an awesome experience!

I had the opportunity to work with Christina per our planner’s recommendation (planner was the amazing Denise of Denise Lillie engagements). I completed a makeup trial with Christina (as well as a hair trial). I did not really know that I could ask for different looks during the makeup trial – I would encourage you to do this to compare / contrast a few different options. In any case, Christina took her time and created a natural glowy look for me that lasted all day. On the wedding day, due to a miscommunication with my planner *oops*, Christina ended up at the wrong place (ie up a mountain at the venue when I was getting ready in Palo Alto). Despite this, she rushed back with a great attitude and made it to the hotel in time to work through her list of people. She quickly set up and got to work. My makeup looked flawless all day and I ended up amping it up just slightly to create a more va va voom look without going overboard. I was particular about choosing a makeup artist that had my skin color as there are nuances to working with certain complexions that I did not want to risk. The only word of advice I have is for unaware brides like myself, it would be helpful if she gave some info about the trial process (since I had no clue I definitely did not make the most of it) so folks know to ask for different looks etc. But that is also on me, so I can’t knock her for it, I just think it would be a nice touch  Definitely select inspo images and try out a few looks for your trial. Make sure your bridal party all has inspo images so you don’t burn time on changing their makeup. Also highly recommend getting lash extensions. I’m pretty low maintenance, however, Christina recommends these (she also provides this service). Since I live in NYC, I got extensions from someone that was recommended by a friend and it was the best “treat yo self” thing I did before the wedding. Not only did I wake up looking GREAT the week of the wedding and the week after during the honeymoon, I was able to wear no makeup most of the time (with the exception of our welcome event and the wedding itself). Great for my complexion and an amazing secret when you’re short on time and running around like a mad woman. While I cannot speak to Christina’s skill here, her reviews are great and I recommend giving it a try as it looks much better than false eyelashes, feels more natural, and can look good for at least a month if you’re careful. I supplemented Christina’s service with Julie from A List, who did the rest of my bridal party’s hair and makeup (looked amazing but not as warm and cute as Christina). As for hair, Christina partners with other artists to make this happen. I was extremely disappointed with my hair trial. The girl who did my hair didn’t even let me see the style before undoing it…what? Nor did it look like the inspo image I showed her. Luckily it worked out in the end but had I not had a friend who did hair (and it was epic so it worked out!), it would have resulted in me having to book another trip to SF for a subsequent hair trial, which would have been terrible! I suggest you save your hair trial fee and look to a company that specializes in hair (one where you can see some previous work going into it). In any case, Christina is lovely and wonderful to work with, super calming and friendly on the day of when you need it the most. I highly recommend selecting her for your makeup needs!

Christina and her crew are amazing! They are kind, professional and very very very good at what they do. Christina was very flexible and understanding, we added a lot of ladies and a last minute flower girl and she was super cool about it. Christina's makeup skills are exceptional, and her team totally kicks ass. 10/10 would hire again and again! The best part, it was hot and humid and our hair and makeup did not budge all night!!

Christina was amazing to work with on a recent wedding in Napa! There was unexpected rain and as the planner I was running around that day and Christina and her team were on top of keeping everyone on schedule with no help from me at all. The bridesmaids looked beautiful and everyone enjoyed their company. I highly recommend Christina and her crew for any beauty needs!

Let me start off by saying I don’t normally do online reviews. But these ladies deserve all the praise! I had planned for a completely outdoor Napa wedding on Memorial Day weekend - and it ended up raining on the big day. All of the hair and makeup was pristine - and it even lasted for the brunch the day after! I wish I could upload my own photos to show how wonderful they turned out. These girls were not only the most fun and pleasant people to work with, they were early for set up and so professional. I discovered them through our wedding planner and fell in love with their work instantly. [pun intended] I didn’t provide much guidance on how I wanted the girls hair or makeup - but I trusted them fully to do what they do best. And that’s how it should be with these ladies! They did spectacular work and it just came so naturally to them. I wish I had another excuse to hire them because they did such a great job. After everything was done they were with me up until I did my first look and were just so sweet and supportive of all of the changes and the emotions that were happening in that moment. Overall - incredible experience. Love love love them! I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or a special event.

Christina was really good! She did everyone's makeup and accommodated to everyone's needs. My main concern was my eyes (usually, my mascara and eye liner smudges throughout the day), but they stay put! Thank you Christina for making this a memorable day!

Christina is amazing! She listens to exactly what you want and envision and has the best personality! The mobile salon experience is incredible! I am SO picky and have ZERO complaints and suggestions. Had the BEST time and can’t wait for my next appointment!
