Salon 705

When I got engaged about a year ago, Amanda was the First person I booked, not only is she a life long friend, but hands down the BEST hair and makeup artist I know! I would not have gone with anybody else! Amanda puts the time and effort in to giving you exactly the look you want for your special day, she offers ideas, tips and is genuine about making you feel beautiful! She did not only my hair and makeup, but that of 7 other bridesmaids, and we all looked amazing! She uses quality products, and cares for her clients, she even made sure I was staying hydrated and had snacks during the time we were getting ready! She will always be my first recommendation for anybody looking for a wonderful hair and makeup artist! Thanks Amanda! Xoxo

I chose Salon 705 for my wedding hair and makeup after months of research, I already knew Amanda would do a great job from what I had learned online but she completely blew me away. I am so grateful for the amazing job she did on my hair and makeup! Amanda made me feel so relaxed, beautiful, and special on my day. I would recommend Salon 705 to absolutely anyone I could! Amanda is THE BEST ❤️❤️

Well I don't know where to start! Amanda is just amazing, she is a great person and she is great at her job! I have know Amanda for about 10 years and when I started planning my wedding I with out a doubt knew I wanted her to do my hair and make up. She was very professional and fast. My hair and makeup turned out just the way I hoped it would be. Definitely made me feel like a princess. She also did my 4 bridesmaids and of course they looked beautiful. She went above and beyond my expectations and I cant thank her enough. So if you are considering hiring Amanda just do it! You won't be disappointed!

To say my wedding hair and makeup was perfect, isn't nearly enough to describe how beautiful I felt the day of my wedding. My hair was exactly the way I wanted and needed it to be and the kind of magic that Amanda puts into all of her magnificent work is indescribable and can only be truly appreciated when you see it for yourself. There is not a single thing that she can't make look absolutely amazing. If you want perfection then you need Amanda.

Amanda went out of her way when it came to doing my hair and make-up for my wedding. We tried one way and I wasn't 100% happy with it, so she brought me back in free of charge to get it right!

Amanda is the real deal. From letting me stop by days before the wedding to make sure my hair extensions match my hair color, to texting and asking advice about makeup styles and hair pins to even plucking my eye brows the day before the wedding!! (because wax makesme break out). She was SO helpful! The day of she brought us a bottle of champagne with a super sweet note too :) I would definitely recommend her!!

Amanda is amazing! She is professional and goes above and beyond to make sure that you get your desired look. She came recommended by a friend, and it was the perfect fit. Amanda was helpful and thoughtful with details. Her run through made me feel comfortable and decisive with my look. On the day of the wedding, she was calm and efficient (qualities any bride appreciates!). I highly recommend Amanda Shepard to any bride looking for a fabulous makeup artist!

Rave reviews for Amanda at Salon 705! She did the makeup for myself (the bride), bridesmaids, officiant, mother of the bride and also the flower girl for our wedding in August. Her sweet and comforting demeanor made morning of preparations relaxing and fun. She took careful consideration of the needs and wants of each individual resulting in a very happy bridal party. Her work was beautiful and lasted all evening. Needless to say, I would recommend her services to any bride.

Amanda is a professional in every sense of the word. She is so talented and brings her own flare to everything she does. She is so kind and patient and she understands the excitement and stresses that go along with special occasions. Amanda listens to her clients and works her magic to bring out their best features ( and helps conceal the ones they might not be so happy with). I would definitely recommend using her if you want that special look for your big day, you won't be disappointed!

Amanda is a very professional and well organized person. She showed up thirty minutes early for my wedding day so that she could start doing makeup at the agreed time and was finished early and able to do touch ups on all the girls if needed. She's extremely helpful and just the easiest person to be around. I am very thankful she was able to do makeup my wedding day!

Amanda is the best ever! So easy and great to work with! She did all of the hair for my bridal party and even helped us figure out the bridesmaid's jersey dresses. I would highly recommend her for any bridal hair task. 5 star job!!

Amanda, you're a rockstar! I am not a big review writer, but I couldn't miss an opportunity to share my experience with the world about Amanda's spectacular talents. I'm ever so grateful that this was such a great experience. A lot of vendors in this small town of Lake Almanor can be hit or miss but Amanda did not disappoint. She was patient, kind and ever so talented with both hair and make-up. We were blessed with adorable nieces and nephews who were doing back-flips at the wedding while Amanda delicately created cute little buns and comb overs on their noggins. Major kuddos! Also, I wanted a very filled up-do but my hair is thin, so she was able to incorporate my extensions to provide a much fuller effect of luxurious curl. Our photographer also came highly recommended and was impressed with Amanda because certain make-up brands and highlighters can be a deal breaker for the way photos reflect off the face. It was obvious our photographer thought Amanda knew what she was doing and asked if she could call her for future recommendations as she only had one other make-up artist she'd recommended in the area for years. It's evident in Amanda's work that she thinks of all issues A-Z so that any bride can relax and be confident in her abilities. She uses only high-end products and gave me a touch up lipstick when she was done so that I would have lasting results throughout my special day. My gratitude is larger than words and I would highly recommend Amanda to any bride.

Amanda did the hair and makeup for my sister and I at my wedding in Lake Almanor last year. She did an amazing job and was more than willing to travel to Lake Almanor. She was so easy to work with and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend Amanda to any bride looking for a hair and makeup artist!

I am not sure if words can truly express how great I think Amanda is. She exceeded my expectations in every way and went far and beyond imaginable. From our first meeting, I felt so comfortable with her and I just knew she would be amazing! On the day of my wedding she ready early, smiling with excitement! Her sweet personality and caring nature instantly eased my nerves. Amanda did both my hair and make up, it was everything I had ever dreamed of, I felt so beautiful. She is absolutely wonderful and has an amazing talent for what she does! She is a godsend to every bride! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

She was sooo awesome and listened and gave me ideas to do with my hair and makeup for the wedding and she helped me through my nerves and joked with me. Amanda is so friendly and down to earth I would recommend her to everyone even if it's just to get your hair cut....

Amanda did the hair and makeup for myself and 7 of my bridesmaids. She was amazing and went above and beyond my expectations! We did a trial run before the wedding to make sure everything was perfect which is very reassuring for a bride. The day of the wedding she made sure to stay after the ceremony and do touchups which isn't something most stylist/make-up artists do. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking to feel and look beautiful on their special day!
