By far, booking my vendor for hair was the most difficult booking of my wedding planning. I had a very distinct vision in mind of loose, romantic waves with slick-backed front bangs. I browsed so, so many wedding hair Instagram profiles, and just wasn’t seeing what I was going for. I was referred to Bay Area Beautiful by my wedding photographer, and in browsing their profile, I found a photo of the exact hair look I was aspiring to! I saw in the caption that Chantelle was the hair stylist behind this particular look. I quickly booked Bay Area Beautiful and a trial with Chantelle. For my trial, Chantelle was flexible in my limited timing and gave me a relaxing reprieve during a jam-packed weekend of trials/tastings. Chantelle made me a true partner in the hair styling process, pausing often to get my input. The trial hair was an excellent start and Chantelle encouraged me to wear it for the full day and make notes of any changes I had. When it was time for the actual wedding day, Chantelle listened intently to the subtle changes I had in mind and executed those alterations seamlessly. She also styled the hair of my 8 bridesmaids, my mom, and a last minute add on for my now husband with ease! And everyone’s hair looked fantastic and stayed perfectly through the full night of dancing. Chantelle is a fantastic hair artist! Thank you so much Chantelle for making my wedding glam so perfect!

OMG best beauty team ever!!! I want to get my hair & Makeup done everyday by them! I didn't want to go to sleep since I didn't want to wash my face or have my hair mess up HAHA.

Bay Area Beautiful (owned by Kathryn) was recommended by my photographer over 2 years ago (prior to COVID when I booked my wedding). I booked with Kathryn (who is amazing, sweet, responsive, and more!) who coordinated my team for my wedding day. Olivia (WHO IS A DREAM TO WORK WITH!!) and the rest of the team was amazing on our wedding day.

I met with Olivia for 2 trials before my engagement photos and then one for my wedding (I wasn't sure how I wanted to style my hair so wanted to practice). I'm a typical "Type A" and was nervous about someone else doing my hair/ makeup.. that is until I met with Olivia. I shared some pictures of inspo with her and left the rest up to her. She is easy to talk to you, beyond sweet, hysterical, and so much more. I loved my makeup & Hair for my engagement photos & wedding - Olivia nailed it! After having to reschedule my wedding (which they were one of the first vendors I checked with to confirm my new date worked for them) they were extremely understanding and kind.

On my wedding day, the beauty team arrived on time, organized, and in such fun spirits! All my girls + my mom felt so beautiful and looked gorgeous! I can't say enough great things about Bay Area Beautiful & Olivia, and how confident I felt on my wedding day and that is thanks to the best team to get me done up!

I will absolutely be recommending Bay Area Beautiful and booking them for my next special event! Thank you Kathryn, Olivia, and the rest of your team!!

Kathryn and Mollie from Bay Area Beautiful did hair and makeup for myself and my four bridesmaids as well as makeup for the mothers of the bride and groom. They were super sweet and did a great job. Everyone felt amazing and beautiful. Also, they are super flexible when it comes to helping you determine the right look for you. Highly recommend their team.
