DO IT! Where do I start?! I truly truly cannot believe how lucky I was to find Adelina. First, I hate wearing makeup and doing my hair. I'm very much a flat iron and mascara type o...
f person. In the past (esp being in weddings) I felt very ugly lol and felt like my look did not reflect my inspo pictures. I searched for months for someone to do hair and makeup, specifically someone who can work on all types of women (Hispanic, white and Asian- are in my family/party). I found Adelina through the Knot and reached out to her! Her Instagram has more up-to-date photos/videos.
The trial was so fun and easy. Adelina came to my apt in SF and was super respectful of my time and space. During the trial, I was super nervous but Adelina told me to let her know if I am not vibing with things. I asked for the lips to be lighter and boom, she did it! So don't be afraid to test some things with her, she's super open!
On the wedding day, she was early (which I love!!) and helped keep the calm energy (even during my conflict with my MIL LOLLL!!) She had two other women with her as I had requested makeup and hair for 2 moms, 1 sister, two bridesmaids, and last min added both of my nieces to get their hair curled. She was able to do alllll of us within 4 hours 8:30-12:30.. my ceremony was at 3:00pm but I wanted to do first looks at 1/1:30.
Adelina and her crew were right on time and made sure I liked every detail before moving on to the next step. I felt so beautiful and truly felt like I looked like ME! I did change my hair a little from the trial, which was a spontaneous thing that I did NOT tell her about. Adelina was on board and made my hair look gorg!
I attached photos of my hair and makeup throughout the day! It rained during the wedding and we were also sweating so badly! I dancing and jumped around. I even went to my fav local bar in the rain, not covering my hair- and my hair and makeup stayed fresh!!!!
I truly cannot thank Adelina enough and if you're looking for someone for your special day... book her!!!! Like the pictures from the wedding are amazing because of HER!
Adelina takes it serious! I found her on Instagram and she was the first one who responded to me with all the details that you need to know! She also did a trial to me where I coul...
d decide what style and look I want for my wedding! I was very happy with the end result at my wedding! 🥰❤️
Before my wedding, Adelina came to my residence and applied my makeup and styled my hair. Our appointment was early in the morning but Adelina showed up on time, was able to listen...
to what type of look/style I was going for and did an amazing job. She is a highly skilled/talented makeup artist and hair stylist. At one point when doing my hair, the outlet stopped working and she was already problem solving how she could travel with us to City Hall (where I got married) to finish my hair, if needed. I highly recommend her services and am so glad I chose her for my special day!
I cannot believe it's taken me so long to write a review for Adelina!
I found her via Yelp for my destination wedding in San Francisco in April 2019. I was nervous to take a leap ...
of faith, without ever having met her, but the minute I reached out to her, I knew I was in good hands. She was always prompt in our correspondence, asked me for inspiration photos, and was so easy to work with!
On my wedding day, she came to my hotel and came ready to deliver! She was relaxed, professional, and took her time. My hair and makeup for my big day was EXACTLY what I wanted! She also gave me a touch-up kit, for quick fixes throughout the day if I needed them. I never needed it because her makeup was flawless and never moved- but it was such a nice touch.
If you are looking for a talented, compassionate, fun and experienced hair and makeup artist, book Adelina! She is worth every penny.
Adelina, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I found Adelina on Yelp in December 2018 when I was looking for a hair/make up artist for my engagement photos in San Francisco. Adelina was responsive, professional and a true ar...
tist. She knew exactly the look I was going for and totally nailed it. I loved how natural my make up/hair looked and her work turned out perfect in the photos. I immediately hired her for my wedding in September 2019. My mom and I set up a trial with Adelina leading up to the wedding - I showed her a few photos of the look I wanted and once again - she knew exactly what I wanted and it looked perfect. I went into the wedding with confidence that my hair/make up would turn out just how I had envisioned. On the wedding day, we had a total of 9 ladies have hair/make up done (bride, bridesmaids, mothers of bride/groom). Adelina came with two additional artists. The team was incredible - they were all professional, timely and made everyone look absolutely beautiful. I am so happy I found Adelina and I hope to work with her again in the future. I can't recommend her enough - she has a true talent and is incredibly friendly and kind!
Adelina rocked my engagement photo makeup and hair - I've never felt so beautiful! Not only is she so talent, but she is an amazing person who really put me at ease throughout the...
entire process. Her experience in the industry is huge, and she knew exactly what I needed to look my best in photos and how to make it last - I learned so much! I got so many compliments afterwards, and I know that was due to Adelina!
Adelina is very talented! What drew me to her is her ability to create natural, stunning makeup that brings out one's features on a variety of ethnicities. I am half Asian and wh...
ite and most artists I research usually do a certain ethnicity better than others. However, she is great with a variety of backgrounds. Also, she is equally talented in hair! She is easy to talk to and friendly.
I am from Canada and my husband lived in San Francisco! Before my wedding day I found Adelina on Instagram and I was caught by the natural make up she would do on her brides, as I ...
don’t wear much myself ! I instantly sent her a message and she responded super quick . She is legit an amazing person inside and out and has amazing talent ! She did my make up and hair exactly the way I wanted , she most definitely did not disappoint! I am forever grateful for her and thanks again Adelina ! Lots of love , xo !
I am writing a review on every platform I can find, why, because Adelina deserves it! When I was deciding to book a makeup and hair artist, she replied to me the quickest with all ...
the necessary details so I was sold. So glad I went with Adelina! She made me feel amazing throughout the whole makeup and hair process and left me looking like a sleek and elegant Bride. She came to meet me in my hotel room early in the morning just so she could beautify me before my appointment at the SF City Hall. I received a ton of compliments on her work. Not only was her work stunning, she is such a sweet and shinning person.
I hired Adelina to do makeup and hair for 3 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, 1 MOB and 1 mother of the groom. She was very accommodating and flexible, bear in mind I originally hired her just ...
to do makeup. Then it was 1 hair up do, then 2 and so on. Adelina was very efficient in her work and everyone looked beautiful. I later found out she even gave my bridesmaid a whole lipstick so they can touch up throughout the day.
Adelina is an incredibly talented makeup and hair artist. I booked her for both a trial and wedding day.
During my trial session, she was so patient tweaking and re-tweaking my ...
hair until we both felt the look was exactly what I wanted. She suggested that because my hair was so dark, my hair style would pop more if I added highlights. I took her suggestion and got highlights in the very same day after our trial.
For my makeup, we both learned that my eyes were super sensitive and kept watering when applying makeup near my waterline, making it difficult to keep my falsies glued on. Adelina took note and suggested that next time (on the wedding day) we do all the eye makeup first, then attach the falsies on last.
Fast forward to wedding day: Adelina remembered all the issues we ran into during our trial day and worked her magic to avoid running into them again. I thought my trial hair and makeup looked absolutely fabulous, but she somehow made everything look EVEN BETTER on my wedding day! How is that even possible?! It’s simply talent. She also did such a nice job incorporating flowers into my hair as well. Oh and the highlights definitely helped give my updo a nice little “umph” making it look more wholesome.
I can’t recommend Adelina enough. She is super sweet, professional, and very punctual. If you’re on the boarder as to whether of not you should book her, I say, DO IT!
My experience with Adelina was nothing short of amazing and I am truly happy that I found her to style my hair and make up for my wedding day. We communicated through email and she...
was responsive and clear in communication. I did my bookings backwards for her and glad it worked out perfectly. Instead of having a trial done before placing a deposit for my makeup and hair for the wedding day, I went ahead and booked her for my wedding and did a trial some time in between all this. I was confident in her skills through her sample work on her website and instagram account, it did not disappoint. My make up and hair trial went great, we did two different styles - one for wedding and one for engagement photoshoot that was scheduled that day. Unfortunately, the photos that Adelina took to use as reference for my wedding day was lost, however I was able to find the styles online and Adelina was able to re-create it beautifully without issues. On my wedding day she was booked for my sister and myself (the bride) hair and makeup. Our makeup turned out beautiful and hair was gorgeous. I would definitely recommend Adelina for anyone(not just brides) for make up and hair services!
Where do I begin? I live in Texas and when we decided to Tie the Knot in San Francisco my first thought was, who is going to do my makeup and hair? I don’t know anybody in San Fran...
cisco, so I was unable to get recommendations. I decided to look up hashtags on instagram and hoping I would land on a great hair and makeup artist. When I ran into Adelina’s Instagram page I was so happy. Her work looked good. I emailed her and she was quick to respond to me. She even told me she would make room to fit me in if she was booked that day. From the first email she has always been a sweet heart. When she came to my Airbnb to do my makeup and hair, she made me feel so comfortable. We carried a conversation like we knew each other from forever. My makeup and hair came out perfect for my special day. It lasted all day and I received so many compliments from it. Pricing was great. I wish Adelina lives in Texas so I could use her more often! :)
Adelina is a hair and makeup goddess. There's not much more I can say. If you want to feel and look like a supermodel, she's got you covered. I've never felt more beautiful than I ...
did on my wedding day thanks to her. She was even sweet enough to stay and record my first look with my hubby to be for me. She is the kindest person with an incredible talent. LOVED her!!!
Let me start by saying she is AMAZING! So I started looking for my bridal makeup / hair stylist couple months in advance.
1rst lady I tried she had NO idea what she was doing and ...
we all know trails are NOT cheap!!!
2nd lady I tried only for Makeup she was good BUT once I got home my skin broke out and was super oily that I was at point like there is no way I am going to look good and this is what my face will look like and thought maybe its just me.
3rd lady I tried she is double the price and I did my hair trial with her and I really wanted hollywood waves, let me tell you 1rst lady already said NO its not possible ( and I thought that was crazy!!). 2nd lady - I guess she just probably didn't know how to do it now sure bcz she kept saying that I should do curls..... anyways.
Lets go with my Final 4th time (the charm!) -Adelina, I booked only my hair trail with her ( like I said trail are NOT cheap). When I got there I just told her I really want to do hollywood waves and all she said was " Ofcourse, its going to look AMAZING on you " and that just blew me away. Not only that I felt I actually put my trail moneys worth because she treated it like that day of and just did a perfect job. End result: I WAS IN LOVE!!!! My hair is short and I had extensions and it just was priceless results!! Something in my heart told me to just go ahead and give 1 final trial for makeup so I asked her if she could do my makeup trail too. That was it for me, soon as I looked in the mirror I almost cried because I FINALLY FELT LIKE A BRIDE. For all the brides, girls who just want to feel beautiful and feel like they are worth it trust me when I tell you Adeline is your girl. The reason for putting a review is because I know that hassle and trouble I went thru in finding "Adelina" and I just hope this review can help any girl out there to give her a chance. I do have so many pics but posting it in public site I'm not so confidant. But, if you do give her a try I'm sure she will share with you or you can check out her Instagram.
I Booked Adelina 6 times with No regrets. Thank you so much Adelina!!!
