Memberhi bees!
can anyone recommend any makeup artists/ hairstylists for brides in the bay area – san jose, east bay, santa clara, california area?
everything is SOO expensive! so crazy!
thanks in advance!
MemberI’m getting married in San Francisco in September and I think I’m going to do my own makeup. I’ve looked for a long time and I haven’t found anybody (that i liked) for under $250 JUST for makeup.
I had a trial at Bobbi Brown and really liked the look, so I bought the makeup she used. I would suggest doing the same, or doing a trial at your favorite makeup counter, then ask one of the girls if they do any freelance work. A lot of them do and can come and do it for you on that day for a lot less than what you might pay someone else. They also might know someone who does hair. Just a suggestion.
Good luck!
MemberI am going have a friend do my makeup (she’s not a pro but knows what she is doing, and we are going to practice!). I haven’t figured out my hair yet. I would check it out on yelp if I were you!
Member@sweetie78: thanks for the idea! i’ll definitely check it out!
@AshleyB33: i think i’ve exhausted all the resources and made a crazy spreadsheet haha. they are all pretty expensive (ranging between $300-600 for hair/makeup), and that doesn’t include trial or e-session. the wedding industry sure makes a lot of money! thanks for the tip though! i’m considering having a friend do it too!
MemberI’m using Pink Diamond Artistry. He’s from SoCal, but his prices and travel fees are reasonable. He uses a sliding scale (the more people he does, the less per person it costs), but for one person it’s $160 for hair and makeup. You can PM me if you want more info.
Member@davisqtpie: Wow thats cheap!
@mspinks27: Wow thats expensive! I was not expecting to pay that much! I was thinking $150, then perhaps a $100 trial or so. hmmm. Maybe my friend will do my hair also.

MemberI booked Jessica with Ethereal Salon (http://www.etherealsalon.com/) in SF for my engagement photos. She was very good, super sweet, and affordable for the Bay Area. My wedding is a semi destination so I hired an artist local to my venue for the wedding, but would hire Jessica again in a heartbeat. My hair looked amazing and she did my make-up beautifully. It was $150 for on site hair and make-up for the engagement shoot.
MemberTry Nini. I think she’s with A list. She’s good. Her prices were $300 for both hair and makeup. Not sure how much it’s now.
Hostess@Sashamissy: Yes!! I loved Nini! She did my hair and makeup as well. Another vote for her! 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/ninisepiphany1
