TEAM Hair & Makeup - An On Location Styling Company

Honestly, this review won't even due justice to how amazing Team did on my wedding day. My every beauty need was met from the moment we signed our contract to the day of my wedding! My trial was so amazing they allowed me to try multiple hairstyles and made sure at every point of the process I liked what they were doing and I did not want to change anything. Then the day of the wedding they arrived early to set up and were so much fun to be around the morning of my wedding! I had a lot of people getting hair and makeup done (12 total) so you want to make sure the energy of the people in the bridal suite with you is positive and fun! Team hair & makeup was so amazing and so fun the entire morning. For my bridal hair and makeup, I had Sylvia do my makeup and Marlee did my hair. I literally cannot thank them enough. Everything was beyond perfect :)

Mar is simply the best, not just because she is a talented hair and makeup artist but because she will be your biggest support the day of your wedding. We hired Mar and Christina for our wedding in Baltimore. They were hired to do 4 bridal looks + 4 additional hair and makeup. First, they nailed every look. The first look was a modern and playful, the second was more traditional, third was hollywood glam, and the final was a costume afterparty. The hair was perfect, and makeup looked super glamorous. Second, and more importantly, they were the most amazing source of support throughout the process. They ensured I was eating, breathing, and reducing stress on my big day. During the photos, Mar not only did touchups but would jump in to rearrange my dress, helping ensure the entire style came together. Finally, they are just good people with good energy. Your wedding day will be filled with joy but also stress. You want people around you with good juju who keep you calm. Mar and team are the BEST of the BEST at this. Hiring Mar is a no brainer: a highly talented team of hair and makeup artists who are also kind, supportive individuals.

I really couldn't be happier with my wedding day hair and makeup experience with Mar's team. Christina did my hair and Karina did my makeup, and both did hair/makeup for family and bridal party members. As we did ALL of our photos prior to the ceremony, we also had Karina stay for touchups from the end of regular service till the start of the ceremony - which I would definitely recommend for others as she did great hair touch ups, blotted lots of shine, and fixed some effects of tears during emotional first look moments. Christina also did my hair perfectly - and my natural texture is extremely curly, but she gave me the smoothest most classic bridal hair that lasted all night long. I'll also add that I changed up the makeup look I wanted pretty significantly between the trial and the wedding day, and Karina didn't even bat an eye and gave me exactly what I wanted both times. Not only were they great at what they do, they were also a pleasure to just hang out with in the bridal suite with my wedding party. Best vibes, best hair and makeup. So so happy.

WOW is all I can say about Mar and her team! They made my very large bridal party look absolutely stunning for my November wedding. The whole team was ready to go when we arrived and had such amazing energy for the day and truly made everyone look like a glammed of version of themselves - so natural and such beautiful looks! Mar was amazing to work with during my trial and made me feel so supported in my vision and she was beyond calming the day of but also my biggest cheerleader! She is so talented and my hair and make up gave me so much confidence and when I look at my pictures I just smile remembering how radiant I felt that day. I am so so grateful for working with truly the best of the best in the biz. What a dream to work with Mar and the Team - my recommendation goes way beyond 5 stars. Perfection all around! I also used the Cheveux by Mar hair extensions which literally matched my hair color exactly and were so comfortable I even slept in them the night of my wedding! The quality is the best I have ever seen for clip in extensions and people were blown away to learn I was wearing extensions. The easiest vendor to work with and it was amazing to have such a professional and fun team to spend the morning of the best day ever with!

I can not say enough amazing things about this group of talented women! I enjoyed every second they were there! The talent alone is worth every dime! Then the amazing girl power, kick a*s "lets get you married girl" energy is an amazing way to start your wedding day! I felt like Lizzo would have been proud of the amount of "Yes Girl" and positive energy those girls were putting out! Mar, she is an incredible woman! I enjoyed talked to her during my trial and on my wedding day. She is so talented and so amazing at making you feel your best. She was extremely flexible with some last minute makeup changes that some bridesmaids needed. She was constantly making me laugh or smile! If I ever need hair and makeup done again in the Santa Barbra area, I will be calling them! They ARE the best!

So I vetted about three different vendors for our four-day wedding weekend and I immediately gravitated towards Mar. Her experience, warmth, and also her candor were major selling points for me, and I have absolutely zero regrets about hiring her not only for all four days, but for ancillary services like touch-ups and second looks as well. And I'm forever grateful for this woman because she kept me alive through what I didn't realize is going to be the biggest whirlwind of my life. And I'm not exaggerating about keeping me alive - she balanced Sprite and cut fruits with touch-up make-up to keep my blood sugar and make-up balanced throughout the day. I'm going to guess no one's bridesmaids (including my own) will or will remember to do this for you; it doesn't make them inconsiderate people, most people just don't have decades worth of experience helping a bride navigate the minutiae of their wedding day like Mar and her team does. But digress, her ancillary services are just another example of Mar and her team's dedication to excellent work and attention to detail in all aspects of HMU. I look back on photos and I still adore all the looks we crafted together. She made me feel effortlessly beautiful on my wedding day and helped me glam it up on other nights and they all photographed exactly as I wanted them to. Their range and ability to nail any look is truly phenomenal. And last, but certainly not least, Mar and her team are consummate professionals. They were always early AND finished early which is super important for wedding timelines. You'll likely need that extra time buffer for photos; I think we allocated 3 hours pre-ceremony and still needed more time which Mar's timeline thankfully provided; side note I also recently heard a horror story about a bride who's established HMUA did not budget enough time and left the bride for the end and couldn't finish her bridal make-up - can you imagine?! Taking in all these factors, I felt TEAM was well worth the price and honestly fell pretty closely in-line with the other vendors I vetted. If I had to do it over again, I would choose TEAM every time!

TEAM is the best of the best! I've had my hair and makeup done by them a handful of times as a bridesmaid, and also as the bride, and every stylist has been so talented. They are very professional, kind, and so good at what they do! They will be the easiest decision you make for your wedding!

Mar and her team were terrific! We had to make a last minute change in venues due to fires is Big Sur. Team was the third hair and makeup vendor I hired for four weddings we planned and rescheduled due to COVID. Team was by far the best! They used quality products, were extremely professional, and did an awesome job. Mar was so on top of the scheduling and helping me decide my looks. Any future brides, I’d highly recommend Team!

Words can't express my gratitude and gratefulness for Mar and the whole TEAM crew. From the day I met Mar for my hair and makeup trial, I felt this would be a good fit. After seeing just a few photos of my dress and hearing my description of our wedding, she immediately intuited and understood the look and feel I was hoping to achieve. When the big day finally arrived, I felt so at ease knowing I was in good hands. I received SO many compliments about my hair (for all short-haired ladies like me who dream of an up-do, definitely spring for TEAM's proprietary custom extensions!), a number of bridesmaids thanked me especially after the wedding for finding a company that actually listened to what they wanted for their hair and makeup, and most importantly, I looked and felt like myself (the most sophisticated and glamorous version, of course) throughout the whole day. In terms of logistics, I found TEAM very easy to work with and accommodating. They worked with me to set up onsite hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner, as well as onsite assistance for touch-ups and a quick lipstick change on the day of my wedding between our two ceremonies. I am writing this review a year after my wedding, so I am a bride who was lucky enough to be unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. But whether your wedding dreams are big or you are planning a smaller, more intimate affair, TEAM can not only bring your vision to life, but also do so with grace, kindness, and sincerity. Thank you, TEAM!

This review is about Mar, specifically. I'm in the midst of changing all of my wedding plans because of COVID-19. I'm sure many other couples are in this situation. I'm a physician and one of the things we are taught is to always be aware that, when we see a patient, they are often discussing something distressing or stress-inducing. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to plan a wedding, but cannot pretend that last minute changes to plans have not been somewhat stressful. When I called TEAM Hair and Makeup today, I was lucky enough to speak with Mar. Her kindness and professionalism were so noteworthy that my fiancé, who was listening in the background, actually commented on it after our call. She was thoughtful and went above and beyond, even telling me to call back if I needed any help with anything... even if I decided not to go with her company. I decided to write this review when I saw that someone had recently left a bad review and specifically mentioned Mar. In the current climate where businesses are facing seemingly insurmountable hardships, I believe it's important to recognize when people are excellent at what they do and support businesses and the amazing people who are working every day to make them what they are. I would feel very fortunate to work with Mar and would encourage anyone reading this review to contact her if you are in need of a hair and makeup. You will not be disappointed.

I was hoping to make this work because I loved their work! But unfortunately the communication is awful. I understand they were on holiday break and explains the delayed response, but communication afterwards is awful. MAR specifically was the worst to work with. I explained this process has been difficult to simply set up a bridal hair trail (as an out of town bride). And she didn't help resolve the situation and in fact made it worse. If you are not in the area, I DO NOT RECOMMEND them! I work in customer service as well and understand the importance of resolving issues/fixing miscommunications. Which will not be done by this company. In fact, they will belittle you via email, which I actually didn't know was possible until speaking with them. If you want unprofessional this is it!

We had Nicole doing our makeup and Kita doing our hair for my wedding. There were 6 girls and 2 moms and everyone loved them! At my trial, they made sure I (and the mothers) were 100% satisfied with the results before we left and they took pictures to reference on the day of. On the day of, they were early so they could set up and still be on time. Seriously, they were so perfect. My hair was more beautiful than I could’ve ever imagined. My makeup was beautiful without being too much. I used their hair extensions as well which were a very high quality and helped my curls stay in literally the entire day. They recommended that I make a hair and makeup vision board for my bridesmaids which was an amazing suggestion because my bridesmaids had no idea what to tell them they wanted and it helped give the day an organized look. Also, I had been growing my hair out for my wedding and wanted it cut before we left for our honeymoon. So, Kita came to my hotel room the day after the wedding to cut my hair. Couldn’t recommend them enough for your day!

These ladies are seriously the bomb squad. I’m not a big hair and makeup person but I had a strong vision of what I wanted. They made my dreams come true and along the process were so open to my feedback and were totally committed to getting everything the way I wanted. They are so fun to work with, super detail oriented, reliable, and direct. They will long Be remembered by me for how lovely it was to work with them. I felt like I made two new friends. I will say that the bridal trial was so valuable. I was initially not planning to do one and am so very glad I did. We started with one look I’d found for hair and makeup and it just didn’t work on me. They didn’t bat and eye when I realized the picture I had picked wasn’t for me and just picked up there and went back to work. Without the trial I can’t say that I would have found my perfect look. You will not regret hiring these ladies. My hair and makeup were just perfect. Love to you ladies-you know who you are!

What else can I say? Mar and TEAM Hair & Makeup is as good as it gets! 1. Mar is the shit- she is hilarious and REAL, she will tell you like it is... because she knows best!!! I am asian and have never been a fan of professionally done makeup on me... until Mar did her magic! She gave great insight on how hair and makeup application differs from person to person and I 100% trust her. Mar is a friend you never knew you needed, and wish I could afford her to come hang out and make me feel so pretty everyday. Hahaha. Yes. 2. The entire team is so professional and my ladies all looked SO beautiful on our wedding day. They managed to make natural no-makeup-makeup GLAM happen and will recommend them to everyone in need.

We used TEAM for my recent wedding. The stylists were very sweet and worked hard to make us happy. Some of the ladies were very pleased and some ladies had more mediocre feedback - just on the results (not effort). I was however turned off by their top management very strict corporate like approach (very strict contract/provisions etc.)- the stylists are very sweet, but outside of them I felt like I was working with a corporate lawyer in arranging the logistics / payment etc. They are rigid in their approach which added to my already stressful pre- wedding weeks.

Mar and team were absolutely wonderful. Not only did I love my hair (half up, soft curls) and makeup, my Mom, M-I-L, Best Woman and MOH all looked the best I've ever seen them look. TEAM does an amazing job of making your makeup so natural that you just look like the best version of yourself. Not to mention Mar helped me manage the drama/family dynamic and was basically my therapist on the day of!!! She was MVP of my wedding. She even went above and beyond and let me borrow a vintage purse in a pinch. Can't recommend TEAM enough!

I hired TEAM Hair and Makeup for my wedding in Santa Barbara at the suggestion of my wedding planner. I live on the East Coast so I didn’t have a trial so they worked off Pinterest photos for my wedding day hair and makeup. I cannot tell you how talented and incredible they are! My hair and makeup was stunning and our guests kept commenting on how beautiful everyone looked. Everyone that we worked with at TEAM was not only professional but also fun to be around! They came to my suite to do hair and makeup for eight bridesmaids, two moms, and myself. They really made the process easy and enjoyable all the while being efficient and getting all of our hair and makeup done on time. Each bridesmaid got to choose her own style and everything turned out flawlessly and lasted throughout the evening. My makeup looked great in photos from 12pm until 11pm. They are incredible!!

Came to TEAM Hair & Makeup last week for my friends wedding with the bridal party. Not only did we have so much fun chatting and getting ourselves glammed up, but we looked amazing for the wedding! Somehow, my makeup and hair stayed all night, and my hair even looked great the next morning. I don't usually do makeup, so the look I got was the perfect balance between natural and glam for a special occasion. I would come here every day for work if I could! I didn't come in with any photos for hair or makeup but they were able to do the exact look I wanted - will definitely be coming back for other special events in Santa Barbara - highly recommend these gals!

TEAM Hair and Makeup were awesome. Loved working with the team and they really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. They were on time and very professional, but also made the day getting ready with my girls fun and light hearted! They are the best and would highly recommend!!

The makeup artists and hair stylists at TEAM are fantastic! The hair and makeup trial was relaxed yet professional, and the ladies assisted my in making my wedding look fit my personal style. I did elect to use extensions to create a fuller updo, and they were fantastic! I would highly recommend them if you are "on the fence" or have never tried extensions before (I had not!). The color matched my hair perfectly, they were extremely comfortable, and blended seamlessly for a relaxed updo look. On the day of my wedding, we had 2 makeup artists and 1 hair stylists for me and my wedding party (4 bridesmaids, moms and 2 female ring bearers on site for my Santa Barbara wedding. They were fun and fantastic to work with, creating the perfect, long lasting (but natural) look for each of us.

Mar and her team are amazing! I used TEAM Hair and Makeup for my engagement shoot on 10/13/2014 as well as my wedding on 8/29/2015. Bethany did my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot and it was just gorgeous. Bethany took the time to understand the look I was going for and she executed wonderfully. I was aiming for a very natural and soft beauty look and she really brought that vision alive really well. The look she gave me matched beautifully with the look of our engagement shoot. Our engagement shoot was featured on Style Me Pretty and you can see Bethany’s amazing work at the link below! Thanks Bethany! It was a pleasure working with you! http://www.stylemepretty.com/little-black-book-blog/2015/03/06/chic-los-angeles-engagement-session/ I had the honor of working with Mar on my wedding day. It was incredible to watch her and her team work. The breadth of knowledge she has about beauty is endless and she is amazing at what she does. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day. During my trial, Mar invested a good amount of time in getting to know me, the vision of my wedding and the look I had in mind. The personal attention she gave me was fantastic and we went through a couple of looks to really explore what would look best on me. What I enjoyed most about her work was her ability to create a uniform look for all my girls on my wedding day. She ensured that her team executed in a consistent manner and as a team, Mar and her girls collaborated well and constantly communicated during the process to achieve that cohesive look I was going for. I would use her services again in a heartbeat. You will NOT be disappointed with Mar, she is very talented. Not only was her work and service amazing but Mar has a fantastic personality that makes working with her really easy and enjoyable. Thank you Mar for your personalized services! I can’t wait to work with you again in the future!

I was just married in Santa Barbara on 9/27/14 and I wanted to share the wonderful experience that I had with Mar and her team at TEAM Hair and Makeup over the last 6 months! Coming from Atlanta for a destination wedding location where I knew no one locally was a really stressful event to plan and one of the the things that I was most worried about was making sure my glam squad was as good as the ones that I use here in Georgia. TEAM met and exceeded my expectations! First, I did a hair/makeup trial before doing my engagement pictures this spring. Both the makeup artist and hair stylist were really responsive and let me try a few different looks for the big day. We ended up taking our engagement photos in the pouring rain and although my makeup looked flawless throughout, my hair fell a little (my fault for not letting the stylist know we'd be shooting outside and to spray me more). I expressed my concerns to Mar and she was IMMEDIATELY responsive and offered a second trial to ease my mind about the big day. On round two a few months later, my hair held perfectly and I was completely at ease going into the big day... Fast forward a few months and my wedding day prep was perfect in every way. The stylists showed up on time early in the morning ready to tackle our entire wedding party's beauty needs. They made my moms, sisters and I look and feel the best we'd ever felt. Not an easy task to a bunch of glammy Southern chicks from Georgia and Texas :) They were so responsive to everyone's preferences and style... asking questions as they worked to make sure no one felt over made up (moms) or under made up (younger sisters). The nervous bride in me wanted to over direct them at first but I sat quietly and let them do their thing... an hour later I looked in the mirror and gasped. It was everything I wanted and more. I didn't want to change or add a single thing to the look. These stylists are AMAZING and also some of the kindest people I met during my wedding planning. I highly recommend this business for your wedding day needs... brides, you can trust them to make you beam on the outside as much as you are on the inside!

My hair & makeup was amazing. Mar is extremely talented & made me look like a million bucks!

I am so happy with the work Rachel at TEAM did for our wedding!!! She did my hair and make-up, my sister’s make-up, and our niece’s hair. I’ve always admired the work on TEAM’s web site, so when I couldn’t find anyone I liked in Phoenix, I figured it was worth reaching out to them. I called them 24 days before our wedding, and thankfully, Rachel was available! Since it was a destination wedding, I was concerned about her travel arrangements and finding the best rate, but TEAM takes care of all the travel for one set price. It took the stress off of me, which I appreciated! Since I was going to be in Santa Barbara, we scheduled the trial at their studios (although I had the option of doing it in Scottsdale the day before the wedding). Rachel and I went through several pictures of styles I liked and we came up with two options to trial. While I was set on an exact style, Rachel gently persuaded me to try something a little different. Thank goodness! The way she suggested looked totally better, and she did it in a way that didn’t offend me. During the trial, she took careful notes and a ton of pictures so she could recreate the looks on the wedding day. She took her time and made sure I was happy with everything. On the wedding day, she showed up 10 minutes early to ensure she was set up in time to start our services. Throughout the process, she was patient with everyone and had a very calming presence (the last thing we needed was added stress that day). My sister and niece looked amazing, and I LOVED my hair and make-up! I received so many compliments on my hair! Rachel did a wonderful job, and I would definitely work with her again in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend her for your wedding day or any special occasion!

I had Rachel for my consultant and she was AMAZING. Just really got the look I was going for and was so fun to work with. I got a lot of compliments that though my look was different I still looked like me and not too "made up." I would highly recommend using TEAM!

Very expensive but the make-up lasted for everyone and looked stunning. It was a bit hard to work with them as it was more-what they wanted to do because they are the experts versus my needs,but everyone turned out stunning.

Jenny was wonderful. She made myself and the bridal party look stunning but natural.

I can't say enough good things about Team Hair & Makeup in Santa Barbara. They made my wedding day my most beautiful day ever :) Mar is amazing-- cool person to have around on your big day, really listens to what you want to look like, amazingly talented when it comes to hair and makeup.
