  We all looked great!

  I was so pleased, it was just myself and my two adult daughters for my wedding, we all wanted to look natural and we really did, just the best! Compliments all days long.

  Absolutely perfect!

  Vivian is one of the best in the Bay Area hands down! I've had the pleasure to work besides her at a wedding, and just knew she was the right one when my time came. I'm not a girl who tends to really do makeup myself, but Vivian was able to make my makeup look absolutely perfect on my big day without me feeling/looking like someone else.
  My whole bridal party looked amazing as well. I would 1000% hire Vivian again for any event that I want to feel absolutely beautiful at.

  Amazing hair and make-up artist!

  I hired Vivian for my hair and make-up services (bride) and she also did HMU for my bridesmaid, mother and mother in-law. I don't wear a lot of make up so I wanted a natural glam look for my wedding day and Vivian did a GREAT job. She understood what I wanted, my hesitations and made me comfortable throughout the process. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and still felt like myself! Vivian is super friendly, easy-going, professional, and timely. I recommend Vivian to any bride who is looking for a more natural look!

  Perfect Bridal Makeup and Hair

  Vivian was amazing! A total professional. She gave me the exact bridal look I was hoping for, and my sister and mom looked fab too! I didn’t have time for a makeup/hair trial, so I was nervous going into the big day, but my hair and makeup turned out perfect. I cannot recommend Vivian enough!!!

  Hair and Makeup Dream Team!

  Vivian was great! She was super responsive, reasonably priced compared to other vendors in the area and was such a warm, calm and fun presence to have around on the wedding day. She worked with me to figure out my vision and even set up another trial when we didn't achieve the look I was hoping for the first time around. Alexandria came on to do everyone's hair and the two of them made a great team! Everyone in my wedding party looked absolutely gorgeous and they were even able to squeeze in some last minute requests to do up my mom and grandma (they wanted in once they saw how fabulous everyone looked!) despite the tight timeline! Would definitively recommend them both!

  Outstanding!

  Vivan and her team did an outstanding job on myself, my 7 bridesmaids, and the flower girl. I live in Switzerland now so I, unfortunately, was not able to do a trial but trusted Vivian based on her phenomenal reviews and Instagram. Day of the wedding they arrived on time, set up quickly, and were all so wonderful to talk to while getting our hair and makeup done. My bridesmaids and I were all very impressed. I wanted a “natural glam” look and Vivian accomplished it spot on and then some. I also appreciated her advice in straying away from the fake eyelashes I had brought-- hers were much better and more natural. Highly recommend.

  Fantastic hair & makeup, highly recommend!

  I highly recommend Glam by Vivian for wedding/event hair and makeup! Vivian did the makeup for our group of 5 ladies plus me as the bride, and brought Alexandria to do our hair. Both did a fantastic job! Our makeup looked dewy and natural and gorgeous and stayed on all night despite a very hot day and a lot of dancing. Vivian and Alexandria listened to what I wanted for my hair and makeup and delivered a gorgeous look, and my hair stayed up really well all night. They both came to our hotel at 7 AM to get started and were lovely to talk to and so friendly. They also did a trial for me which was super helpful and I highly recommend doing one to see what adjustments need to be made with the makeup for your skin type, how well the hairdo holds, etc.

  The best hair and makeup I’ve ever had!

  Vivian is phenomenal. Not only is she a wonderful human being, she was timely, kind, and AMAZING. Her skills are incredible and serve different ages, complexions, hair types, etc. well One of my family members, for example, hates makeup. She will complain about anything, and was thrilled with the light makeup look she did for her. It looked natural and stunning (“and 20 years younger”). My (bridal) makeup and hair was phenomenal - my stick straight hair normally cannot hold anything, but Vivian worked her beautiful Magic. She had both vision (in terms of how to style it, as I had none) and fantastic execution. My makeup stayed put all night, too, and made me feel beautiful and confident - and looked exactly how I wanted it to (but better). I cannot recommend her more highly and cannot wait to work with her again for any event.

  Superstar wedding vendor

  Vivian is an absolute superstar!! She was our planner’s first recommendation for wedding hair/makeup, and it’s easy to see why. Not only did she do a beautiful job with the makeup for me, my mom, and my bridesmaids, but she was highly responsive, prompt, inclusive, easy to talk to, and she stepped up to solve a crisis at the last minute. I had initially hired Vivian for makeup only and someone else for hair. Then, my hair stylist came down with COVID 6 days before the wedding. Vivian managed to find an amazing stylist (Ana) to take her place and adjusted the schedule without too much disruption — all before I even really had time to stress out about it. I only wish I had hired Vivian for everything from the start, but I will be forever grateful to her for ho she handled everything and took care of me on my wedding day. I highly, highly recommend her for yours!!

  Amazing, efficient, and friendly service that will have you glowing on the outside and the inside!

  Vivian is absolutely incredible! I booked Vivian for my May 2022 wedding and it was one of the best and easiest decisions I made for my wedding. Vivian and her team worked on me and 8 other women (6 bridesmaids + my mom + my MIL) on my wedding day and got us all done within 6.5 hours! She was very meticulous and I didn't feel rushed at all. Vivian has a wonderful personality, she listens, and she cares about her clients. You have to book Vivian for your wedding!
  
  Vivian created a schedule for all 9 of us 2 weeks before my wedding so we knew ahead of time who was going when, and she asked for examples of what each of my girls wanted ahead of time as well. She slotted us in at different times for hair and makeup, did touchups on everyone, and made easygoing conversation throughout to keep my nerves at bay. She is extremely well-organized and professional. She achieved the soft/natural glam look I wanted, worked foundation mixing magic to match my skin tone, and made me a little touch-up kit for use later at the reception.
  
  Then for my hair, she and her team were great at getting my extensions in (I brought them with me). I asked for a half-up, half-down hairstyle with lots of curls and it was STUNNING. My hairstyle stayed well throughout the next day. You'll love Vivian and her style. You can't go wrong with her! :)
  
  I also did my hair/makeup trial with Vivian 2 months before my wedding for my bridal shower and she was extremely accommodating and professional then as well. We had my hair parted one way and I didn't like it as much so we knew we'd part it a different way for my wedding. She also gave me the names of the products I liked so I could get backup ones in case I needed it on my wedding day. She took the time to ask me questions about my style preferences and what makeup I typically put on and I appreciated that personal touch. :)

  Vivian & her team were amazing!

  Vivian & her team did such a great job! My hair & makeup looked great, and held up all night even after crying multiple times. It was a windy day too so Vivian had her team secure my veil so well, it took my bridesmaids 10 minutes to get it off. Also no one was on time in my bridal party, but Vivian was on time, adaptable & made sure everyone was done on time. On top of that, their rates are very affordable especially for being located in the Bay Area. Book her! You won’t regret it.
