Tahoe Hair n Makeup

I wanted to make… and did them with no hesitation / ease. I would recommend Sonia to anyone in the Reno/Tahoe area!  August 2025

up beautifully through our hike and ceremony, and I felt so confident the entire day. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought such a calm, kind energy that made the morning feel special and stress-free. I’m so grateful I found her — she’s amazing!

iful and confident, and it really showed in all of our photos. My hair in particular turned out stunning. I received so many compliments throughout the night. I had sew in extensions in that Sonia was able to work with without any issues. Everyone’s hair and makeup stayed all day and night. My mom, who had never had her hair or makeup done professionally before, kept saying she felt like a princess, which made the day even more special for both of us. Sonia and her team were professional, warm, and so talented. They took away all the worry of getting ready and helped set such a joyful tone for the morning. I’m so grateful we had them as part of our wedding day and cannot recommend them highly enough.

its and I loved my hair and makeup on the day of the wedding. I really appreciated that she didn't charge a travel fee and that she was able to find 3 other stylists for my large bridal party!

ng as did how she attached the veil! I’ve never felt more beautiful

their own makeup daily, I'm always a little nervous about letting someone else take over, but Sonia totally earned my trust. She made me look like myself but beautifully elevated. Couldn’t be happier! 💕

orning. I’m not someone who wears a lot of makeup in my daily life, and Sonia did my hair and makeup in a way that felt natural but also highlighted my features in a way I never thought possible. I can confidently say every bride in the Tahoe area should book Sonia for their wedding day, engagement shoot, or any bridal event! Thank you so much Sonia!

he big day, she did my hair and makeup better than I could have expected. They were so easy to work with and very flexible. I highly recommend Sonia and her team!

e Tahoe/ Reno area, she is a must book! She will make everyone look beautiful for hair and makeup.

r making me beautiful on my special day.

lling to look at pics/take requests. Her energy also Helped keep the get-ready atmosphere light and happy, which is no easy feat! Sonia is very talented and I 1000% recommend her to any and all brides/ bridal parties! She’s super talented and chill and so were the ladies accompanying her. And her rates are totally fair!

kin. She took the time to get to know me as a bride and made things very personal. I will definitely be hiring Tahoe hair n make up for all of my future big events while I still live in the area. 10/10 would recommend every single time. You can’t beat her professionalism, nor her prices for absolutely astounding work. Thank you for everything!

e out to our villa on site at our venue to do hair and makeup for myself, my bridal party and moms. She one upped herself and added additional twists to my hair on the day of which looked so cool! Everyone’s hair/makeup looked so good and it could not have gone better. Very good communication and easy to work with Sonia!!

d, complimentary to my natural look, and I felt like I was glowing! I didn’t have to worry about the details. Sonia arrived early and went above and beyond to insure my entire bridal party looked and felt radiant.

e natural. Sonia created the most effortless look and best of all my hair and makeup lasted ALL NIGHT! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, all thanks to Sonia. Cannot recommend her highly enough for her adaptability, professionalism, and skill.

ther vendor she did not require a deposit immediately, just a commitment and a credit card to charge, which was super helpful when everyone else's payment timeline was rough to work around. When Sonia came to my place for my trial she listened to what I wanted and was supportive of what I didn't, I gave her a lot of creative control and she did great-I looked like a fairy tale version of myself! The next day for my event she successfully made my straight thin hair look thick, wavy and gorgeous! My makeup looked great and the eyelash extentions looked good but just weren't my style so she made other adjustments to make my eyes look good. In addition to the price (which was HALF of what everyone else was charging for similar work) , she was fun to talk to, inquisitive, open minded and great company. I highly recommend her! 10/10 would have Sonia take care of my hair and makeup again!

at with checking in with each person to get feedback! Cannot recommend these two enough!

very easy to talk to and we had some good laughs about random stuff. I asked her for a "natural" bride look with eyeshadow to compliment my eye color. Sonia was able to match my foundation to my skin so well and my eye makeup turned out great. I RARELY wear full-face so my husband was shocked at my transformation. My makeup lasted all day with little to no cracking or fallout. I wanted a simple half-up, half-down with a twist and large curls and she executed that as well. I can't thank her enough for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day.

ven commented on how she loved her hair/make up for my wedding more than her own. I don't wear a ton of make up and Linda did an amazing job of hiding a pimple and making me look perfect on my big day! Thank you Linda!!!! PS for future brides and bridemaids -- definitely do the fake eyelashes!

nt above and beyond because she had an earlier wedding the same day as our wedding, however, she was still able to commit and time manage both weddings without any hiccups. She started in South Lake Tahoe with her first bride very early in the morning, and then drove all the way up to Graeagle to do our makeup afterwards. I truly feel like most makeup artist wouldn’t want to double book themselves for two events in one day, but Sonia knew how important it was to us to have her there on our special day, and she did everything to make this happen for us! Secondly, the makeup on myself and my bridesmaids was absolutely stunning. Sonia listened to each girl regarding their wants and needs with their makeup, and she ensured they felt comfortable in her chair. She comes with all of her own equipment, tools, and makeup, which made everyone feel at ease because it was once less thing we had to worry about the day of! Sonia was such a pleasure to work with and she helped make our special day so perfect! If it wasn’t for her I would not have felt as confident in my bridal look, and she truly made sure that I felt beautiful that day. I would absolutely recommend Sonia to all future brides or anyone that is looking for an expert in all things beauty, hair, and makeup Thank you so much Sonia for making me feel beautiful on my big day!

fferent variations based on what she understood I was looking for, very communicative and quick to respond to emails and texts, and overall just a fun person to be around when we were getting ready. I couldn’t have been happier with my hair, and we all received glowing compliments about our hair from guests all night.

b on hair and makeup for all the ladies in my family. I was very impressed with her ability to find the perfect makeup and hair for all of us, when we all have very different style, texture and skin tone. Could not have been happier on my big day. Highly recommended!!

my wedding day. Sonia made my makeup look so natural yet beautiful! I received compliments all evening, especially from my husband! She also made my hair look amazing just from a few pictures and general ideas I gave her. Such a pro! My bridesmaids also enjoyed having Sonia and her girls there. They were very personable, easy to talk to, and did excellent work. I highly recommend Tahoe Hair & Makeup! Thank you Sonia!

beautiful and they were there to do any touch up as we walked out the door! I would recommend this venue again. My sister in law, the bride, looked absolutely stunning! A very warm demeanor from them all made everyone comfortable!

to cancel or postpone. Once we knew we were going to have an elopement ceremony I was in a bit of a panic trying to book a stylist because everyone seemed to be booked or ridiculously expensive. Thankfully, I found Sonia with Tahoe hair n makeup. She immediately put my mind at ease and worked with me to get everything scheduled. Sonia responded to all of my questions in a timely and professional manner. She even scheduled a last-minute trial with me before the wedding. We had 10 people total getting their hair and makeup done, therefore we needed 3 stylists to ensure we got done on time. Unfortunately, we were staying in a cabin that was just about 2hrs away from the stylist, but that didn't stop them from leaving their homes before 4 am to get to us by 6 am, not to mention they drove through a snowstorm to get to us! They not only arrived promptly but were ready to get right to work. Sonia had put together a schedule before the day of the wedding and all three stylists were aware and prepared to stay on schedule. Sonia did both my hair and makeup and I can truly say that she made me feel beautiful on my wedding day, just as a bride should. I have extremely long-thick hair, but that didn't phase her. She made it seem effortless! As anyone can imagine I was a bundle of nerves that morning but Sonia's vibrant personality had me laughing and engaged the entire time. We will be having our reception in April and I can say without a doubt, I will have Sonia and her team booked to do our hair and makeup again. The mere fact that they were able to make 10 women feel beautiful and happy with their hair and makeup speaks volumes about the work they do!

lf up/down messy braided look and she nailed it. Great conversation, very easy going, and the rest of the team was just the same. I like that they hung out with us while the bride got her hair/make up done and did touch ups before we all left. I highly recommend these ladies due to their friendly nature, quick work, and the quality of their work.

ighly recommend her

blessing the universe put in my path. Sonia made me feel as if I had family and friends surrounding me on my special day. My make up and hair were absolutely perfect (and I’m very high maintenance 😬). She took her time and exceeded my expectations by far. She even pulled out the iron and helped me iron my dress. I could not have asked for a better experience and outcome. I’d highly suggest her for any occasion.

ight on time. My hair and makeup came out very nice.

at my freckles still showed! My hair looked gorgeous as well - it's quite thin and usually falls flat after a few hours but again her work kept the curls going all day and night. Very well priced and a lovely person as well!

ays more stressful for them!). She was understanding with my health issues and let me take breaks when I needed to. I would 100% recommend her for your event!
