Event hair & makeup services
Clean, refined Editorial Artistry for production Events and Weddings in the SF Bay Area.
Artistry with intention, elevated never overdone. Editorial intention. California ease. Beautifully restrained, and completely alive to the woman wearing it.
“For all on-location appointments outside of production work, travel is billed to account for the full scope of bringing the studio to your space: transport, careful setup of professional lighting and workspace, the artistry session, and complete pack-down and travel home."
Weddings
San Francisco/Napa/Wine Country
Over 300 brides have trusted me, not just for achieving a stunning, authentic wedding look, but for providing an intimate beauty experience where they felt truly heard, seen, and celebrated.
Weekend reservations carry a $1K minimum investment (accommodating the bride plus one VIP guest & mini trial), Hair styling quoted separately based on length, texture, density, and style.
Wedding Morning - the wedding morning should feel like a moment to exhale—not another event to manage.

Before we begin, you'll be asked about your exfoliation routine, including whether you use AHA or BHA peel pads and when you last used them. Healthy skin prep starts at home. These products can help remove dead skin buildup and support smoother makeup application, and effects what the camera SEES.

A Different Approach to Your Makeup Experience
Your initial intake call is designed a little differently. Rather than asking you to arrive with a specific makeup look in mind, I use your responses to understand your features, lifestyle, setting, and comfort level.
From there, I take the lead creatively—curating the makeup direction I believe will complement you best. You’re welcome to share what you love and what you don’t, but you don’t need to know exactly what you want.
That’s my job.

The camera doesn’t always capture makeup the way it looks in person. Flash, direct lighting, and sunlight can wash out color, soften definition, and reduce the overall impact of the artistry by as much as 20%.
Makeup is often applied with these lighting conditions in mind so it translates both in person and on camera, what this means - it will look & be heavier in person.
