Wedding Makeup and Hair in San Francisco, Napa, Marin, San Jose

Napa Hair and Makeup for Weddings

We had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and Anthony at their Napa wedding at the Churchill Manor. Rebecca was looking for a half up, half down updo to show off her long, loose curls for her wedding hair style. After trying it down at the trial, the decided on having a full updo, covered by her beautiful veil. For her wedding makeup, she wanted something classic and refined, but something that still looked current.

We also worked with one of Napa’s best wedding photographers, Shannon Stellmacher. We love Shannon’s style — fine art, fashion inspired couture wedding photography.

Congratulations to Rebecca, Anthony, and Shannon for an amazing event!

Asian Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist for Asian Brides, Weddings in San Francisco

We are often asked “I’m looking for a hair stylist and makeup artist who specializes in Asian brides, do you do makeup and hair for Asian brides?”

The short answer is yes, we have a lot of experience working with Asian women for their tea ceremonies and weddings. We have a large portfolio of before and after photos showcasing many different types of Asian skin tones, eye shadows for Asian women, lips, hair styles, and more. You can also view a before-and-after video showcasing an Asian bride at her trial.

Chinese-speaking brides have told me they love that fact that my studio manager and I both speak fluent Mandarin Chinese, which often times is helpful for mothers and relatives who speak Chinese as their primary language.

However, not everyone is having their wedding in San Francisco Bay Area, so I thought I’d put together an outline for people who are looking for specific answers.

First of all, it is a completely valid question, so do not feel awkward asking your makeup artist or hair stylist if they specialize in weddings for Asian brides, or if they work specific ethnicities or skin tones. There are special techniques for Asian eyes and eyelids, and Asian hair.

So how do you find an artist to fit your needs? Simple! Look for someone who can answer all your questions and back up their work with a large portfolio. Ask them specific questions about your needs, and ask if they have any experience with those issues.

I feel honored to have such great feedback for my work with the Asian bridal community in San Francisco, and if you have a question or concern about your hair and makeup for your wedding (regardless of who you choose for your hair and makeup for your wedding) feel free to contact us at 888-865-8660.

Thank you! Featured Bride

I wanted to feature and thank Sylvia, she was so kind and generous today. We did the hair and makeup at our studio, which worked out because she was just a few miles away for her ceremony.

Thank you Sylvia!

We recently worked with Cory and Theresa for hair and makeup for their engagement photography. Theresa was so great to work with — she just forwarded me a few of the photos from her session with Ed Pingol.

Ed’s use of light in each photo is remarkable and the photos reflect Ed’s creative and imaginative skills. I encourage you to visit his portfolio, it’s jaw dropping. Below are some of the shots from that session.
