Makeup near Martinez

“Jenny did makeup for my grandma, mom, mother in law, sister in law, and myself for my wedding and I have zero complaints. Everyone's makeup looked absolutely amazing. I've never felt more beautiful and it looked amazing in photos. When we did my trial I asked for a more glowy look since I had never done one before and it ended up not being for me. I gave her all my notes from the trial about what I liked and didn't like and on the wedding day she took those notes absolutely nailed it. Super important to have a trial so you can give her your feedback and also so she can see the condition of your skin and make any recommendations for skin care so your skin is in the best condition it can be come wedding day.Services: Bridal services“

“Love the atmosphere.

Requested style: Not getting the haircut I want for my kid.“

“Nora is the best colorist hands down! I travelled 3 hours roundtrip, for six months to continue seeing her once I moved to Elk Grove. Her haircuts are always on point and she is one of the most sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet. I've stayed with her for over 6 years and I wish I could clone her so I wouldn't have to drive so far. My daughter (who is now 6) would always ask to go see Nora because that is how warm and welcoming she is. Don't let her age fool you, as her natural talent with scissors and coloring is outstanding. Her mentor, Amy, is also a master colorist and a thoughtful, client-centered business woman. She cares for her clients and always has snacks for everyone and offers high end haircare lines that I can't find anywhere else! Going from black hair to looking like a "natural" blond and every color in between, takes skilled hands and an eye for artistry. I can't say enough of how amazing the salon and Nora are. I would continue to drive 3 hours to see Nora if it weren't for the fact that I work full time and have two kiddos now doing sports on the weekends. Walnut Creek has no idea what an amazing salon and talent they have just off of Mt. Diablo blvd!“

“Petra is the best!! She has been cutting my hair for years! Probably the best hair stylist I have ever been to!“

“We had a great experience with Abhilasha's bridal and groom hair-and-makeup services for our sangeet, ceremony, and reception. Each of the looks she crafted for the bride were unique and top-notch, and the styling she provided to the groom made him look his best during each event. She also did a wonderful job with bridal saree draping and jewelry setting. If you are looking for a high-end hair-and-makeup artist that brings out natural beauty and creates looks that work well with your outfits, then you should definitely go with Abhilasha for your wedding. One of the first things that stood out to us when meeting with hair-and-makeup artists during the early stages of wedding planning was the fact that Abhilasha had a ton of experience with South Indian brides, which is not the case for many artists. Her Instagram also features a wide variety of looks, complexions, and face types that showcases the strength of her artistry and skills. Based on this portfolio of work and the fact that her pricing was fair (i.e., comparable to other leading hair-and-makeup artists in the Bay Area), we felt comfortable that Abhilasha was the right artist for our South Indian wedding. In advance of the wedding weekend, we exchanged stylistic ideas with Abhilasha to ensure that we were aligned on what types of looks we wanted to achieve. During the hair and makeup trial, we tried a look for our sangeet that didn't quite work. Over the next few days, we discussed different options, and she ultimately helped select a look that turned out great for the sangeet. We really appreciated that Abhilasha listened to our feedback and worked with us to arrive at great looks for the different events. Additionally, Abhilasha provided us with great feedback on the jewelry that we were considering for the ceremony. For example, she noticed an inconsistency in style between two elements of the bride's ceremony outfit. Because she flagged this about a month in advance of the wedding, it gave us enough time to find a better alternative. Based on our experience, we highly recommend scheduling a bridal trial if you want to test out a unique look so that you avoid any surprises on wedding day. We were very happy we did this as it made us feel more comfortable entering the wedding weekend. During the wedding weekend, Abhilasha was on-time, organized, and professional. She told us to block off 2.5-3 hours for each hair-and-makeup session, which was an accurate estimate. She paid very close attention to detail and made sure that every look was as close to perfection as could be. She also was thoughtful - she made sure there was not too much commotion in the bridal suite during the pre-reception hair-and-makeup session, which allowed the bride to take a nap while getting her hair done. Abhilasha is a fun, sassy, and honest person, which means you will not be bored during your hair and makeup sessions. Abhilasha also did the groom's makeup for each of the events (it took about 10-15 minutes per event). While some people may not think this is necessary, we found that her makeup made sure the groom looked his best during the wedding photoshoots. Ultimately, if you are planning an Indian wedding in the Bay Area or Napa and want an elevated look for your bridal and groom hair-and-makeup, then you should strongly consider Abhilasha. Her work is top-notch and you will walk away feeling extremely satisfied with your looks for your wedding events.“

“Flexible when I needed to change my schedule, very professional, explained the process, and made sure I was comfortable.“

“Jonathan is the absolute best and never disappoints. Have been trusting him for 10+ years (with my very thick hair) and continue to appreciate his creativity, expanding vision and expertise.Services: Hairstyling“

“I booked a same-day facial at Spa Orgánica and it was AMAZING! The location is great, the spa suite itself is quiet and relaxing, the products used were top notch and my skin looks incredible. On top of that, Christina is a lovely human who was so welcoming and thorough with her extractions. I can't wait to come back. If you're thinking of booking a service, definitely do it!“

“Maricela did a great job! She fit me in her schedule really quickly and was incredibly kind. I was really happy with the color and cut. Highly recommend!“

“I saw Ellie yesterday after lunch at Comelones Tacos. Her prices are 75 dollars for a haircut. She was prompt and was serving two people when I saw her. My appointment was at 12 noon and that is when I sat in her chair. The salon itself is very small with one chair for waiting clients. There were three stations and all three ladies including Ellie looked like true professionals. I didn't see any chatting or joking but complete attention to their clients except for Ellie who checked her cellphone several times and also talked on her cellphone while cutting my hair. Since I paid 90 (after a 15 dollar tip) for a 22 minute service, I felt a little cheated. Ellie washed my hair for five minutes from 12:00 to 12:05. At 12:22, I was outside getting into my car which meant that my haircut was 17 minutes. 90 dollars for a 17 minute haircut just doesn't feel right. My haircut was very basic, a few layers in the back and I didn't really see much layers framing my face which she promised. I would have liked a little more detailed framing. I will see how my hair grows out but I am unsure I will come back. Also, Ellie doesn't take credit cards so I had to pay her cash which she appreciated.“

“Aileen Bautista has been doing a phenomenal job styling and caring for my long and thick Asian hair. She was a referral from one of my girl friends, and I'm so glad I was receptive. I've been seeing her once every few months and before events or travels. She always has my hair looking right!! Ever since I've been going to Aileen for my hair needs, I've finally fallen in love with my hair! Thank you“

“Cori is the best!!! Her facials are great and I get to relax in a very calming space. Always a much needed self-care and always happy with my spa facials and microdermabrasion. She answers all my skincare questions and recommends products based on my skin at the moment.“

“Claire is fantastic and keeps me coming back year after year. Amanda her partner has also worked on my hair and is equally great.“

“Excellent services by a knowledgeable and professional skin care specialist.....great location....easy parking“

“I'm not one who posts reviews all the time but I just want to recommend Celia. I've been going to her since last year and I just want to let everyone know that she is great with her job! I always get compliments about my lashes and they don't fall off quickly. Celia listens to her client's requests and is honest if she can't do them. It's pretty hard to search for a good lash tech but I think you won't regret it if you book an appointment with her.“

“Glamour! Seriously, come here and buy the most glamorous cosmetics. I found a lip gloss shade I have been wanting since my teens. I always loved and wanted black gloss. The closest I could come to it was at Party City! It was not cute... but this is. Parking was easy for downtown Walnut Creek! Get your foundations et cetera here, too!“

“I have been coming to Trenell for some time now and she is awesome!! I have alopecia and I love my hair extensions! My hair looks so natural I have to tell people I have extensions!! My hair relaxer is so convenient. My morning routine is so much easier since I have started coming to her. My highlights compliment my complexion. I have a customized haircut that flatters my face and personal style. I have noticed since getting my hair extensions removed my hair is getting thicker and fuller. I am soooo happy!Services: Hairstyling“

“I have been going to this salon for well over ten years. Loretta is my stylist. I can honestly say her work is consistently excellent. I get my hair colored and trimmed every six weeks. I have referred many friends and colleagues over the years and they love her work just as much as I do. She knows her stuff and gives honest, helpful suggestions. I look forward to my Fridays in her salon. She is always welcoming & offers delicious baked goodies and refreshments. This salon is also immaculate & well furnished. In my opinion, you can't go wrong by going to this salon.“

“Im not the best at remembering to take care of my skin, but after visiting Maddie, getting a relaxing and moisturizing facial, and getting some skin care tips from her i feel rejuvenated. She was super welcoming and nice. Has very nice decor at her studio. Clean and relaxing. Was professional and handled with appropriate care when giving me a facial and lower back wax. I ended up having extra time and got a nose wax too. Ive heard nose waxes were sometimes painful but when Maddie did it i was surprised how well it worked and how un-painful it was. Well below my pain expectation. I was very pleased and will defiantly come back. She told me about all the services she provides from brows to lashes to just about any waxing service u want. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I'm working in this Salon now. I still have openings in my schedule for anyone who's wanting to get in and in see me. Cuts , color , and chemical services available. Keratin Smoothing, fantasy colors. Extensions. Book an appointment with me.“

“Ms karen place is so cute! She made it a very fun and comfortable for my daughter. She puts a lot of attention toward the kids experience. You can tell she absolutely loves what she does! Her new place is super clean and adorable. Karen moved to a new location in Walnut Creek with parking right in front. The place was very easy to find and right off of the north main exit. My daughter and I will absolutely be back! Loved it!“

“Crystal updated my long layers and taught me how to take better care of my hair when heat styling. She also did my toddler's first haircut, and we will both be back. Thank you!“
