Painted Ladies

a little hesitant at first. I have pretty high standards for hair and makeup since I like to think I am pretty good at it. We exchanged emails a few times, showing her what I was looking for. While I did want to look like myself, I definitely wanted the makeup to show and didn't want too much of a natural look. She delivered and hit the nail on the head on the level of "done up." I looked flawless but wasn't cakey, i had fake lashes but you couldn't tell because she placed individual lashes, I had a bit of wing liner but just to extend my natural eye. Everything was perfect. For the hair, I sent her a picture of a very unique low bun knot with hair sticking out - she got it just right. It was flattering and timeless but also modern (who knew those would mix?) Other than being fantastic at hair and makeup, she was very professional, communicated well, was on time and well prepared, and was just very pleasant to be around. Since it was a simple city hall wedding, I didn't have bridesmaids or friends getting ready with me. So it was just me and her, and it was great! I highly recommend Sophia and will definitely be recommending her to friends and using her again in the future.

ng. Painted Ladies is truly the best and I highly highly recommend booking them!

and reliable, but the entire team is so sweet and has such a calm energy that really made getting ready with them over that week so fun and enjoyable. They listen to what you want and go above and beyond expectations. They made us all look great, but also feel great! I will definitely be booking Painted Ladies again!

. We also wanted to provide services to the ladies in our grooms’ crew as well as our mothers. They had asked for pictures of everyone in advance alongside photos of desired looks for hair and makeup. This allowed the team to come in ready to go. They also worked with us in advance to find products that could accommodate a few allergies in the group. We had Dawn, Amber, Lindsey and Cejana work with our group in two rooms at the hotel. They were on time and very professional and kept to the schedule. Everyone was happy with their looks and, most importantly, still looked great at the end of the day. Our wedding was outdoors in Winters, CA at the end of July and the high hit 102. I typically start to get shiny and sweat in that kind of heat and you cannot even tell in any of our pictures. We were so happy that we hired the Painted Ladies team. Although we cannot speak from a bride’s perspective, they were amazing with these two grooms and the rest of the important ladies in our lives.

side the bride and bridesmaids. They're fantastic!! Communication was great, relaxed but very professional. I'm not used to wearing a lot of makeup--I prefer a natural look--and Sophia and her team understood exactly what I wanted and executed it perfectly. The makeup lasted all night long, and I didn't even need a touch up. Most importantly, they have the best energy and made me feel so calm and happy on the day of. If I could give them 6 stars I would!!

lso well beyond my expectations! On top of that, Sophia brought a positive and relaxing feeling to the room and made the experience of getting ready for my wedding a delight. Pained Ladies will bring talent, professionalism, and fun to any special event.

up that lasted all night--she also dealt with an overly aggressive photographer with aplomb. When the photographer insisted on taking photos before scheduled, during time PL was supposed to be doing bridesmaid makeup--PL rolled with it, applying the bare-necessary makeup on those ladies who hadn't been finished (like me) and then tracking us down later to complete it. I could not imagine anyone more professional than she was. (Plus, as a redhead, I was pleasantly surprised to find she carried unusual colors with her to match a multitude of skin tones! Not many ladies carry orange lipgloss, lol) Great job, Painted Ladies! Thank you for making my best friend's wedding even more special! ~Love, Alyssa's Maid of Honor, Kiki

ladies was the little amount of time they needed day of to get us ready. I had 8 bridesmaids and my mom that needed hair and make up. Most people I spoke to said we needed to start at 7 am, Painted Ladies let us sleep in till 10. Sophia was considerate when issues came up and was great to be apart of my big day. I highly recommend her!

even more stunning versions of themselves and she made me, the bride, feel more beautiful than I ever have before. Her work seemed effortless as she did makeup for nine women throughout the day, calmly and efficiently. She was a delight to be around a calming presence in the more flustered moments. We got so many compliments on our makeup, which was great for photos while still be understated. Plus, we didn't have to do any touchups even on a hot day. I highly recommend Sophia! She is the best!

happy with the natural, glowing makeup and my hair, which appeared to be "natural," but really stayed in place for hours. I look at my wedding photos now and think how thrilled I was with my look and how my time spent getting primped that morning was one of my best moments from the day! Painted Ladies is a must for all brides AND I have even hired Sophia since to vamp me up for a holiday party!

ew she was the one! Not only was she an incredibly talented artist, she was also personable, professional, and fun. She was also the first makeup artist who enhanced my look but still made me feel like myself. I hired Painted Ladies to do my makeup and my bridesmaids' on my big day, and Sophia completely exceeded my expectations. She showed up early, finished early, and was able to accommodate everyone's requests–from natural to glam. I've never felt as beautiful as I have on my wedding day, and I have Sophia to thank. Plus, as everyone has said, her friendly demeanor, willingness to answer every question, and prompt timing will put you at ease during the big day–which is so important! I highly recommend Painted Ladies and would definitely hire them again for other big events. You should, too! :)

ids were so pleased! Sophia helped ease my stress in planning leading up to my big day. She was very communicative and patient with all my questions, emails, ideas, and concerns. For the actual day, Sophia and her assistant were so calm, efficient, and professional. They even accommodated different hair styles at the last minute to make everyone look and feel their best. She knows the best of the best for every great product line out there, what to use based on your skin and style vision, and is so comfortable in her process. I have Painted Ladies to thank for helping me make my wedding day amazing and making me feel so confident too. Working with Painted Ladies was a true joy, and I am so grateful to have their help make my day so memorable.

g day. She was amazing. So stress free, and she does a beautiful job. She really captured the look I was going for, and my hair and make-up lasted all day! It was so nice and relaxing being able to have her come to my house and take care of the whole wedding party. I will use the painted ladies for other events. Thank you Sophia.

the easiest to tame, but Sophia had no problem. She gave me exactly the look I wanted and then some!! She is so talented and was so sweet keeping me calm and looking my best on my special day. I am looking forward to getting to use Painted Ladies again!!
