Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a huge pleasure having Zayra do my bridal hair and makeup. From the jump, she was so sweet, professional, attentive, and extremely talented. Although I didn’t book a trial run, she absolutely killed it! She saw the vision and executed so well on all ends. The entire process was extremely smooth. Zayra also did hair and makeup for my mother and mother in law, both of which came out just as beautiful. Aside from the work itself, her level of communication was extremely appreciated throughout the entire process through and through. If I had a concern she was open to listening and adjusted as needed. This review has been a long time coming. I cannot thank you enough for your beautiful work, Zayra!!

SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

Amanda did my bridal makeup on my wedding day. We did a trial together and I didn’t know exactly what I wanted, only that I wanted to look like an elevated version of my everyday self. She guided me seamlessly through the process until we landed on the look. Then, day of, she executed what we decided on during the trial beautifully. And stayed on schedule. Also, genuinely a nice person and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 recommend!

MUAH makeup and hair

  • Starts at $250
  • Serves Aptos, CA

Welcome. Bianca and Katie are a freelance hair and makeup team specializing in weddings and special events. They have been friends for several years and business partners for 12 years. They offer classic and creative hair and makeup looks and the most affordable rates on the Central Coast. They continue their hair and makeup education to bring you the very best and latest beauty trends!

Bianca and Katie, who run MUAH, are absolutely fantastic! From booking, to the trial, to the big day itself, everything was seamless and stress-free. Going into the process of finding a makeup artist, I was nervous about not looking or feeling like myself — I just wanted to feel like “me,” but elevated. The moment I met Bianca, I knew she could make that happen. On my wedding day, I felt stunning — and the very first thing my husband said during our first look was, “OMG, you look like yourself!” (He had been nervous too after hearing some of our friends’ horror stories.) All of my bridesmaids got compliments all night about their hair and makeup, with guests asking where they had it done. The MUAH team even finished ahead of schedule and was able to fit in two extra people for services, which was such a gift. Beyond their incredible talent, Bianca, Katie, and their team were kind, respectful, flexible, and such a joy to be around. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a hair and makeup team in the area — they truly went above and beyond!

Makeup artistry is a passion for me. I love being a part of such a special day! With years of experience, I love working with my clients to create their desired look that will leave them feeling beautiful and confident. I am an on location MUA which means I go to you! I believe all brides should feel pampered and worry free on their big day!

I am a minimal makeup girly but when my wedding day was coming up, I wasn't sure whether I should go the DIY route (as was most of my wedding), until a friend recommended Santana. Makeup by Santana was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day! From the very beginning, Santana's communication was clear, consistent, and she was open to my ideas, while also helping me narrow down and paint the picture of the look I was going for. Santana asked thoughtful questions during our trial makeup and then again on wedding day about the looks we had discussed prior, but was she was also assertive in guiding me towards the perfect beauty look (i.e., making minor changes such as lashes and asking if I was still okay with a certain look, color, etc.). On the day of, Santana made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed, which allowed her to work her magic and create a flawless makeup application that lasted all night long. The quality of Santana's work was truly exceptional and worth every penny - I've never felt more glamorous! I would highly recommend Makeup by Santana to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and communicative beauty team to be part of their special day.

Alexis was absolutely amazing!! She was our hair and makeup artist for my wedding this Saturday and when I say she KILLED it!! Aside from her AMAZING hair and makeup skills… We had a few bumps in the road so my mom and I weren’t able to make it to the venue until after my scheduled time for both hair and makeup. As you can imagine, I was definitely panicking about our ceremony starting in less than two hours from the time of my arrival. When I finally made it, I felt SO much better as I realized that Alexis made sure that all of my bridesmaids were on track as far as hair and makeup while I was gone. She completed my hair and makeup beautifully with time to spare for my mom’s hair and makeup. She even managed to squeeze in another makeup service for one of my guests. I will definitely be recommending her to anyone that I know who may be needing a hair or makeup service. She is absolutely amazing at what she does and she is so SO sweet!! I could not thank her enough for everything she helped with the morning of our wedding

I don't usually wear makeup and I didn't know exactly what I wanted so we discussed what type of makeup style and products that would look best and be the most compatible with my skin, hair, and outfit. She is very easy and so much fun to talk with and is very knowledgeable. She listened to what I roughly wanted and offered her advice in a considerate manner. On the day of the appointment, she was on time and kept to the schedule. She was incredibly professional, efficient, and accommodating. Everyone LOVED the result. I was OBSESSED with the look that she created. I got endless compliments on my look and people were constantly asking who the artist was.

I had four (yes, four!) bridal makeup trials and I’m so grateful to have found Taylor! I was looking for a natural makeup look but it seemed impossible to find. The other trials left me with cakey foundation that actually made my skin texture look worse than it normally does without makeup. Taylor suggested that I look up celebrity reference photos as opposed to your typical bridal Pinterest pics. This was a game changer — great advice! Taylor paid close attention to my skin tone, skin type, and bone structure to help accentuate my features. She was so kind, professional, on time, and made the experience so effortless for my bridal party and I. I felt so beautiful thanks to Taylor. I wish I could have her do my makeup every day!
