    Cali is amazing!! Living in Colorado, I was unable to schedule a trial before my wedding in Philadelphia. Not a problem at all! She is experienced and made me feel at ease on my wedding day. My hair was exactly what I wanted, and it did not budge the entire night. Make up was flawless.
    Highly recommend!!

    Glossy Girl was great and I would recommend her to anyone in the Philly area for bridal services and/or other events! She was referred to me by a friend who had been in a wedding party where her services were provided. She was great stylist and those in my bridal party loved their hair! She was punctual, easy to work with and affordable...what more can you ask for. Will definitely be using her again for other events!

    There is no way that I could not write a review for this vendor, as it is well deserved!

    If you are looking for flawless makeup and hair that stays perfect for your big day, then look no further! Cali does an amazing job of making you and your bridal party look amazing on your big day. I found her here on Wedding Wire and I contacted her after looking at many of the vendors on this site.

    After seeing my wedding photos, all my friends want to have Cali for their wedding. Cali did not ask me to write this review for her (as some vendors offer discounts to clients who endorse them). She's just talented and I feel that she deserves this review.

    Cali is an absolute gem and I recommend her SO highly. I found her on weddingwire and had only the reviews there... And they were totally spot on! Yes, the services are pricey, but this is your wedding. And those pictures are forever. Plus, other makeup/hair artists are significantly more expensive. Cali made me and my gals look like the best versions of ourselves, not overdone in any way. She was responsive to my concerns after the trial and had concrete suggestions for addressing them. Cali is also a really nice, funny person, who we all just loved. I recommend her without hesitation. Just a fantastic person with an amazing talent for makeup and hair.

    Cali was friendly, sweet, and professional during both my trial and the day of. We all enjoyed chatting with her as she worked on myself, my mom and bridesmaids. Arrived on time the day of my wedding and got us out the door on time for the ceremony. Lovely work.

    A true professional and wonderful person to work with. Cali did a wonderful job of our hair and make up. She arrived early, was responsive to emails and calls and really took on board anything that I wanted to do. She gave helpful suggestions and even after changing my mind a little after the trial, she was ready and prepared to make my changes on the day. My bridesmaids brought pictures of what they were thinking they would like and she made a fantastic job of matching that. She also helped my grandmom with her hair which was truely uncessary but so glad she did. I would and am highly recommending her to anyone looking for a talented stylist.

    Cali made me and my sisters look truly beautiful, and she has a very cool and calm demeanor which is helpful on the day of someone's wedding! She was totally flexible about doing and re-doing my hair until I thought it was perfect, which I really appreciated. The make-up was gorgeous and just the right amount of drama for a bride without looking silly or artificial at all. Perfection!

    Calista is great at what she does. We had a trial and it was beautiful but not quite what I wanted. When I mentioned it on my wedding day, she said no problem and proceeded to give me THE look I wanted. It was so perfect, stayed on all night and didn't look cakey. She made my bridesmaids look great and did hair for some of them as well. She has a ton of makeup to choose from and will come to you wherever you are.

    If you are undecided on who to chose for your hair and make up, stop looking and don't hesistate- call Cali!! Every single person in my bridal party and the mothers looked incredible. Everyone said how this was the happiest they had been after getting their hair and make up professionally done. As far as being the bride, I couldn't have been happier. I felt amazing with the outcome of my hair and make up. Cali and her team really listen to what you want and have an eye for how to make everyone look amazing and like an individual. The entire team was calm, friendly, on time, and wonderful to work with. She made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. I hope I can find other reasons to need my hair and make up done by Cali in the future!

    Cali was WONDERFUL. I did two trials with her because I changed what I wanted for my wedding. We had a little bit of miscommunication with emails getting lost, but other than that, everything went very smoothly. Though I liked both trials, on the day of the wedding, I loved my hair and makeup even more than I could imagine! Everyone was saying what a wonderful job she did. Her and her colleagues were able to do hair and makeup for my 8 bridesmaids and 2 junior bridesmaids. On the day of the wedding, our mothers decided they wanted their hair done, and she was able to fit them in as well, finishing relatively on time. My only critique is that I wasn't as impressed with her assistant, Ashley. She did nice hair, but it was nowhere near as intricate and detailed as Cali's work. (but that's what you get when you have such a large bridal party). Overall, I was VERY pleased with the quality of work. Cali is very talented and reasonably priced. Having her come to our location alleviated lots of stress. I would highly recommend her for you and your bridal party.

    Cali did a great job for both my wedding and my sister's. She comes to wherever you are which is so convenient on your wedding day. Cali really made our wedding day so much fun as the girls all got hair and makeup and hung out all day.

    I would definitely recommend Cali and Yvette,they're amazing girls and they really have talent!! I booked Cali because I've read alot of good reviews about her thru wedding wire. I was hesitant at first but then when I looked her portfolio, I know that she knows what's she's doing. Her price was really reasonable compared to other vendors out there, she's really nice and will tell you what's really good for you and not. During our trial makeup my mom didn't like how my make-up turned out, she tried different foundation and eye shows on me and at the end of the day, we have an idea of what my look is going to be. Cali was really approachable and responds to my emails really quickly. I sent her pictures of makeups that I love and she tells me if it's good for me or not. My bridal party loved their hair and makeups! On the day of the wedding Cali and Yvette showed up on the hotel on time and they were ready to roll! We were alittle behind schedule at first because some of my girls have thick hair that's why it took Cali forever to fix their hair but Cali did her thing and we were out of the hotel at exact time as we're suppose to leave!! My hair and makeup turned out really nice and I was really happy with the result! Definitely go with Cali if you're looking for a good result. Cali understands my Filipino culture which is the other factor I loved about her!! KUDOS to Cali and Yvette!

    Cali and Yvette were AMAZING!!! They are both truly talented make-up artists, and Cali made my hair look gorgeous. All that everyone could say all night is how beautiful my hair looked! The airbrushed make up was fantastic, and looked so natural, I didn't want to ever take it off. They both made the hours prior to the wedding extremely enjoyable...they were hilarious. I would recommend Calista Brides to anyone who asks! Thank you so much for making me and my bridesmaids look beautiful on my wedding day!

    Cali was, for lack of a better word, incredible to work with. Her talent is tremendous and she is nothing short of a pleasure to deal with. She is incredibly professional, easygoing and genuinely loves working with her brides (and bridesmaids). I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I was lucky to have worked with her.

    I just had my wedding on Mat 29, 2011. Cali and Rosi made my mom, my four bridesmaids and me look amazing. We all looked Hollywood glam, yet it was not too much and we still looked like ourselves. Also, Cali showed up right on time to the location we were getting ready at and then later showed up on time at my venue for a touch-up. I would recommend Calista Brides to anyone and everyone!! :)

    Cali and Yvette were a pleasure to work with. My make up was beautiful all day long (even in the heat). Having my makeup done by Cali was one the most relaxing parts of my wedding day!!!

    Thank you Cali!

    I researched alot of so-called wedding hair and makeup people and none of them compared to Calista Brides. I'm usually hard to please but during my trial, Cali knew just what I wanted and I didn't have to change a thing. Yvette was also fantastic! She had my bridal party looking super glam and everyone was in love with their lashes and Yvette's smokey eye. Thank you Cali so much!!!!

    Cali and her team were incredible!!! I can honestly say I have never felt more gorgeous than I did on my wedding day (April 30, 2011). Cali has a wonderful personality and completely made me feel at ease on my big day. I had a very large wedding party (12 bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid and flower girl). Plus, my mom got her hair and make-up done and two of my nieces got their hair done as well. Cali made sure not only were we all beautiful, but that we were also ready on time. I cannot even tell you how grateful I am that Cali was there because she was the one that made the morning go very smoothly. Cali also scheduled the times everyone needed to be there, which was a great relief to me! The 18 inch extensions Cali provided were amazing. Everyone’s make-up and hair stayed picture perfect all day. Thank you so much Calista Brides!!!!

    I had a South Asian (Pakistani) wedding in March 2011 and Cali did my hair/makeup as well as makeup and hair for my mother, sister, aunt, and cousins. She did a fantastic job! My makeup turned out even better than I imagined- I've already had people ask me who did the makeup. She was wonderful, easy to work with, and very flexible. Everyone looked amazing and I would definitely recommend Cali to anyone.

    Calista Brides is truly a talented bunch of beauties!! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. They arrived early to set up and had all 12 of us done way before we even had to leave! everyone looked so unique and beautiful. My cousin who's engaged, actually booked them that same day too! I highly recommend getting the airbrush and hair extensions if you're thinking of getting them. Our skin looked flawless and my hair never looked better. I am beyond impressed with their skills and talents.

    I'm so happy I found Calista Brides!!!! My wedding was very early in the morning and I had 10 people altogether. Cali and Yvette showed up early and had us ready with time to spare. I had Cali custom make extensions for me which to this day I still use!! My makeup lasted all day and night. Yvette did the rest of the bridesmaids, a junior bridesmaid and both mothers and everyone was ecstatic at how glamorous yet "real" they looked. They really know how to bring the best features out. Cali & Yvette were so accommodating with everyones needs & desires. If you show them a picture, thats exactly what you get! I cannot say enough wonderful things. I 100% recommend them!

    Cali is incredible. She arrived on time and took the absolute best care of myself, 7 bridesmaids hair, and make-up for my mother, myself, and my maid-of-honor. We looked stunning. We looked like the best versions of ourselves-not overly made up at all. Everyone's hair stayed all day and into the night and it was a super windy day. It would be a mistake to go with anyone else if you live in the Philadelphia area and want to look fantastic. Thank you so much Cali, best wishes forthe future!

    I am really happy that I was able to secure Calista Brides for my wedding. I'd been through 2 bad hair trials already and both people were actually referrals from other wedding websites. But I knew as soon as I saw Cali's portfolio that I found THE Hair and makeup artist. She knew exactly what I wanted and suggested the best look for my features and hair. She made us all feel at ease and we really enjoyed having her around. Cali is truly a god send!!
