Hiring Gina was the best decision ever! I described my ideal makeup look as wanting to look "like me, but better". I wanted my makeup to still look natural and romantic and Gina captured my vision immediately. It was so great to do a trial run ...
with her before hand so I knew exactly what to expect day of. My bridesmaids also got their makeup done, one of whom had only had poor experiences with getting their makeup professionally done prior to the day. Gina made everyone feel at ease immediately and kept their suggestions and opinions in mind to make sure everyone was happy. The whole bridal party agreed Gina was amazing and did a fantastic job. We all loved the makeup and best of all it lasted the whole day! Gina helped me come up with a schedule in coordination with getting our hair done and showed up on time and stayed perfectly on schedule to be sure we got to the venue on time for photos. She was such a joy to work with and I am so glad she was part of the day!

3 hours can be nerve-racking, but she is so easy-going, and really genuinely wanted to know about me and my fiance. Third, she crushed my look. I am 41, and this was my first marriage.

She gave the exact look I wanted, and I felt so confident. Trust me, Gina is it!

Gina did the hair and makeup for my sister's wedding in August, in Livermore CA. She is absolutely talented and extremely professional. She definitely went above and beyond to make everyone look and feel truly beautiful the day of the wedding...
. My sister lives in Arizona and flew up for the trial; Gina was very accommodating to work with her schedule. I got phone calls from both my mom and sister absolutely raving about how great Gina was during the whole process. She listened to my sister, but also gave her professional opinion; the result was my sister looked beautiful and it was just the trial! Before the wedding, I was having a hard time deciding how to do my hair as it is a pixie cut. I emailed back and forth with Gina and she gave me the confidence I needed to do something different than my normal look (I got a ton of compliments!!). The day of the wedding, Gina was thoughtful and thorough, asking each of the bridal party how they typically wear their makeup and what they wanted that day. Everyone was truly gorgeous. Not only was my sister breathtaking, my mom (who was a little worried because it was after all my sister's wedding and wanted to look her best) was stunning. She got so many compliments and one of her best friends even cried when she saw her! Gina made sure that every detail was perfect and that my sister (and all of us) felt relaxed and special. Gina even took a few minutes to do the groom's hair in the lobby of the hotel at my sister's request. Luckily for us it wasn't too hot the day of the wedding, but regardless, there was little touch up to be done between getting dressed, taking pictures and the actual wedding. Everyone looked just as great at the end of the night as they did at the beginning. In terms of cost, Gina has very competitive rates (a lot better than some actually) for the Bay Area (as I did all the research for my sister). Included are the eye lashes and a little bag for lip touch up. The whole process was very easy. I too live out of state and working with Gina was a breeze. I would highly, highly recommend her for anyone looking for the best hair and makeup services in the Bay Area.

Gina did my hair and makeup for my wedding earlier this month. I can honestly say that of all the vendors that were a part of our wedding, Gina stands out as the best, most professional person I worked with. My wedding planner referred me t...
o Skin By Gina, as she has done many of her weddings in the past. A few months before the wedding, I called Gina and scheduled a trial. She arrived at my house with all of her products and did my hair and makeup exactly how I envisioned it. She took my theme, dress, and features into consideration to help me get to the exact hair and makeup that I wanted for my big day. She took pictures of everything we reviewed. When the wedding month approached, Gina sent me a schedule for my party's hair and makeup. She also introduced me to her assistants that would be helping with the large bridal party. Gina worked with me to ensure the schedule was perfect and that all of the bridesmaids knew what time to be there. On the day of the wedding, Gina and her two assistants arrived at 7 AM and set up very quickly. They got straight to work and were able to complete 7 girls' hair and makeup ahead of schedule! She was able to collect payments from each of the bridesmaids and organized the entire schedule and payment process. She eliminated any drama or issues with the bridesmaids by printing a picture of how I envisioned their hair and makeup, and telling them that was what they were going to do. I am so glad I did it that way because they all looked so cohesive. She dealt with the bridesmaids directly so that I was able to focus on quality time with my mom, review my vows, eat, etc. Gina organized everything. When it was time for my makeup, which we did last, we had a cushion of time and we were not rushed at all. I felt so calm. She made sure my hair and makeup was exactly as I envisioned it. When we finished, we had 30 minutes to kill...we were actually done early! The photographers were not to arrive for another half an hour! I was never once rushed. When I looked at myself in the mirror for the first time, I was absolutely blown away. Not only did I feel beautiful and like the best version of myself, I also was SO impressed how she was able to capture my vision better than I could have imagined. Even after the her assistants left the hotel, Gina stayed behind and waited for the photographers to finish all of the pictures of me getting dressed, before she assisted with my veil. She was there until the second I got into the limo to be sure that my hair and makeup was perfect. Gina was recently married in 2015 and she knew all of the feelings and excitement that I was feeling. She gave me great advice about soaking in each moment and getting away with my husband for some quality time during the reception. Her advice truly made my wedding all the more special. I can honestly say, because of Gina, I felt extremely calm, confident, and ready to walk towards my future husband. It has been 1 month since the wedding and I still get chills when I think about the first time I looked in the mirror. Gina is an artist and knows her stuff. She taught airbrush and makeup schools and truly is an experienced, professional artist. She can make you look exactly how you always envisioned on your wedding day. After the wedding, Gina sent me a thank you card which was just the cherry on top. She was a blessing and someone that I can call a friend for life. She was the best decision that I made during the wedding process.

I was pretty overwhelmed when I started looking for someone to do my hair and makeup for the wedding. Gina immediately stood out as my top choice when I looked at her reviews and website. Initially I thought she was out of my price range, but...
after looking at several other places that cost more and seemed of lesser quality, I decided to schedule a trial. I was immediately sold by Gina's down-to-earth attitude, willingness to really listen to what I wanted, and incredible skill. She translated a picture of a hairstyle into something that worked perfectly for me. As someone who almost never wears makeup, she made me look incredible without feeling overdone. I hired Gina right after my trial without a second thought. Gina was very communicative leading up to the wedding, making a schedule and answering any questions I had. The day of the wedding, Gina showed up promptly (at 5am!), as did the assistant she brought in to do some of the bridesmaids' hair. She immediately got to work and, though everyone was tired, had a great attitude and kept everyone laughing. Everyone was extremely happy with their hair and makeup, myself included (one of my bridesmaids is STILL raving about how amazing her eyebrows, of all things, looked!). Best of all, our looks translated so well to the camera and lasted all day. Since Gina has a ton of professional experience doing making for the camera, this doesn't surprise me. I honestly cannot recommend Gina enough. She is truly an artist with her work, and I can't imagine having worked with anyone else. If I ever had an event that required professional hair or makeup in the future, I would reach out to Gina in a second.

I told Gina that I wanted to look natural, and not overly done for a day to evening wedding, since the wedding was outdoors. She didn't disappoint me. The makeup was exceptional and my pictures looked so good all because of her. I have used ...

I am very picky about my makeup. SO while planning my wedding I was unsure if I wanted to hire a professional to do my makeup for the big day. Luckily I found Gina at Skin by Gina and she is amazing! I honestly feel that she is top quality when...
it comes to wanting to look just right. She asked me what I liked before she did my trial run she described what she was doing while she was applying the makeup. Not only was my face flawless, but my eyes and lips just accentuated what I like about my looks. She made me feel glamoraous, yet natural and the makeup looked just as good 8 hours later! Everyone said I looked amazing I know they were telling the truth. Besides her great work ethic, Gina is a truly kind person who makes everyone feel comfortable and at ease. She is the perfect person to have around on your wedding day!

y makeup for my bridal shower. She was able to play with colors and tones that matched the style, color and theme of my dress. She turned a regular makeup job into something artistic. it was what every girl needs on her big days! Gina then did my makeup for my wedding. I felt so (sounds totally cheesy) beautiful. I guess every bride should feel like I did. She is professional. Punctual. And an ARTIST.. She has the 'eye'. You will NOT be displeased! P.s. Her passion for work keeps her from charging and arm and a leg to brides.

be one less thing I would have to worry about because I definately have trust in her professionalism.
