Makeup near Moraga

“Raina did do magic. Vibe: my cup of tea. Service request: met with professionalism. Yes I recommend.“

“Naomi saved my hair after a traumatic balayage I got while traveling. I am very happy with how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Naomi if you need a color correction or balayage. She’s very attentive to your specific needs, and will make your hair look it’s best.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I give the entire experience 10+ stars! Today was my first lesson in a series. Our focus was on complexion and Tamra hit out of the park. I learned about undertones, color correction, and numerous techniques for ensuring that your makeup looks fresh all day. Tamra is patient, kind and gifted. If you are looking to glow up your glam, you need her in your makeup bag! Today met all my expectations and more.“

“Great makeup at a fantastic price totally worth the low price. I met Sarah when she was doing makeup for a photo shoot for work. She did a fantastic job on my makeup I looked fresh and natural not overly made up. Looked great and I am over 60 so that is a feat. I was so impressed I bought her makeup and love love love it.“

“Jae is the hair care expert. With consistency, Jae will have your hair healthy and beautiful. My thick hair is now well into my back and I won't let anyone else touch it. As a busy professional, it is refreshing to have a hair stylist who is respectful of my time. She does not overbook. I really appreciate that Jae invests in continuing education to keep up with latest and best haircare options.

Hair type: My hair is naturally super thick and coarse. Jae has made my hair very manageable, conditioned, and soft. Now my blowout and straightening lasts between 3-4 weeks, No problem.

Stylist: Jae is amazing. She specializes in Hair Care. My thick hair is soo healthy and has grown in length since I became Jae's client. My hair used to be dry and constantly breaking, but Jae has brought my hair to a wonderful condition. Consistency and doing what Jae says that my hair needs was key. If you want your hair "styled" Jae is also great with that.“

“Best hair salon in the area. Marisol takes pride in making sure that her customers are completely satisfied. Always takes care of me.“

“Missy Moran Studios is my new go-to place for Hydrafacials. Missy a total pro, gets input on what her clients main concerns are and very communicative on her plan before and while the facial itself. She even offers a light tinted sunscreen to protect your skin afterwards. I will definitely be back soon.“

“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 always go there, the women are very kind, and they provide excellent service at an excellent price...100% satisfaction guaranteed....“

“Thank you, Jinny! You are amazing. As a mom, putting my kids first is always a priority. You took excellent care of my teens during high school and continue to care for all of our skin needs today. Your delightful demeanor, effective skincare products, and treatments truly make a difference. I always feel cared for and walk out rejuvenated and glowing. (Pictured is the LED light.) Thank you Jinny for taking care of our family, and if I could get my husband in, I would! Men!

Highly Recommend! Questions, just call me!“

“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!“

“If you're looking for a fabulous facial look no further! So glad I've found a local spot I can come to on a regular basis to pamper my skin and leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Nicolle is great at her craft and so sweet and personable. I've had a few different services with Nicolle and have become a regular client. Can't wait for my next appt!“

“I had my first appointment today coming from out of town with Linda, she was amazing! In the past I’ve walked away from haircuts only to go and style it differently on my own, but Linda asked a lot of questions and was clearly keeping in mind the aesthetic I like from my hair. I walked away NOT thinking about how I could style it differently, but how I could recreate what she’d done! 10/10, hope to return to the bay in the future if only for my fantastic hair“

“My brows look absolutely marvelous!!! I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing Karah really is! I was so comfortable and relaxed while on her table. I thought I didn’t have brows but she found them and made them pop! I will definitely be back monthly!“

“As a long time client of Denica's for over 20+ years, I can say unequivocally and emphatically say that no hair stylist will ever do a better job of making you look absolutely fabulous than Denica! Denica has mastered the art and science of hair styling and is a down to earth, super friendly and funny person. Most importantly, she is a very good listener when it comes to the kind of hair cut you desire. In life if you can find an excellent doctor to take care of you when you're sick; an experienced CPA who can do your taxes; and a fantastic hair stylist who can make you look your best, you are a very lucky person!“

“I made an appointment for a facial with Sonya at Eye of Artistry and let me tell you that my experience was amazing! Sonya recommended that I do a Vitamin C facial which has tons of antioxidants. She made me feel deeply relaxed, very calm, safe, and so comfortable that I almost fell asleep. During my facial she used her massage techniques to help smooth out my wrinkles and I have to add that the facial massage felt so good! I would highly recommend going to Sonya at Eye of Artistry.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This review is for wedding hair & makeup services from Eryn! Eryn was my first hair stylist when I was in middle school. I remember her being so sweet and talented back then, and it is still the case! I booked her for hair and makeup for my August 2023 wedding. She knew exactly what to do technically in terms of colors and styles on me and my bridal party, niece and mother/MIL so that we all looked our best and cohesive with each other. I was extremely impressed that she did 8 of us all by herself with only one small break. She provided the perfect energy, brought us fun magazines, and had all sorts of amazing advice and tips (such as how to get me into the car without getting my dress dirty - make sure you have a flat sheet handy!). She was more than a stylist, she was a therapist, a yoga teacher, a posing expert... You won't regret booking her! I have also visited the salon and found the space to be really good vibes with very nice staff members.“

“I finally found THE BEST place to get your hair done in the Bay Area! Especially if you need balayage! I have seen Jessie several times now.. about 3 different times for balayage and 2 haircuts and I've been extremely happy each time. She is very skilled in her techniques and very meticulous, which is so important because my hair isn't damaged and I'm able to go several months before needing a touch up. On top of that, I just enjoy her and her salon so it's always a positive experience there. I won't go anywhere else as long as I live in California! Also the location is great and there is plenty of parking. Her prices are fair considering she is extremely skilled so it is worth every penny to me. I also like that she uses quality products that don't irritate my skin, especially since my skin is really sensitive. These photos are about a year apart. Highly recommend!!“

“Trenell is magic! The best in her business. I'm pretty picky because I want my hair taken care of and a beautiful finish and she provides that. On top of that she's the most friendly and helpful person. She has a light and energy that makes spending time in her chair fun and time passes easily. But that's not the key to why I adore her, it's her care and knowledge about hair. Thank you Trenell!!“
