Makeup near Martinez

“Jenny did makeup for my grandma, mom, mother in law, sister in law, and myself for my wedding and I have zero complaints. Everyone's makeup looked absolutely amazing. I've never felt more beautiful and it looked amazing in photos. When we did my trial I asked for a more glowy look since I had never done one before and it ended up not being for me. I gave her all my notes from the trial about what I liked and didn't like and on the wedding day she took those notes absolutely nailed it. Super important to have a trial so you can give her your feedback and also so she can see the condition of your skin and make any recommendations for skin care so your skin is in the best condition it can be come wedding day.Services: Bridal services“

“Catie is DARLING!!! Hands down a 50 out of 10. Not only did she bring my hair back to life with the perfect cut, but she was so warm and welcoming. I can’t wait to go back and see her again soon!!!“

“Petra is an amazing hair colorist, she's worth every $, I highly recommend her.“

“I've been going to Salon Cartier more than 10 years (15??--it's been a while). It's always been the best experience and I look forward to it every time. It goes without saying, Robin and her crew do an amazing job on my hair, but they also make it feel like the most welcoming and friendly environment, almost like hanging out with friends who happen to be extremely serious about making you look good.

I had pretty long hair when I started going there--and I used to think long hair was kind of self-sustaining and didn't require much attention, but I was amazed at how much they were able to do with it to really make me look great--more rock-and-roll and less barbarian hippie (which is where I think I was at when I started with them). Eventually my hair got a bit thin and my hairline was giving me trouble, and I decided to go with a shorter look, that I've stuck with now for years, and it's a great look that downplays any struggles I've had with my quality and quantity of hair. They also do an amazing job on the color--it looks totally natural, though they can make your gray hair look awesome, too, if you decide to go that route.

Anyway, Salon Cartier is highly recommended by me--some men feel weird about going to a premium salon, but you'll feel right at home and it's totally worth it.“

“Flexible when I needed to change my schedule, very professional, explained the process, and made sure I was comfortable.“

“Ms. Karen is truly exceptional with kids! She promised our daughter would leave feeling like a princess, and she absolutely delivered - both our little girl and boy love their haircuts with her. Ms. Karen is patient, gentle, and makes the whole experience fun and stress-free, even for little ones who are usually nervous. We always leave with big smiles, beautiful haircuts and a toy/lollipop/balloon that little ones get to pick from. Highly recommend - our family won’t go anywhere else!“

“Nora is the best colorist hands down! I travelled 3 hours roundtrip, for six months to continue seeing her once I moved to Elk Grove. Her haircuts are always on point and she is one of the most sweetest and kindest people you will ever meet. I've stayed with her for over 6 years and I wish I could clone her so I wouldn't have to drive so far. My daughter (who is now 6) would always ask to go see Nora because that is how warm and welcoming she is. Don't let her age fool you, as her natural talent with scissors and coloring is outstanding. Her mentor, Amy, is also a master colorist and a thoughtful, client-centered business woman. She cares for her clients and always has snacks for everyone and offers high end haircare lines that I can't find anywhere else! Going from black hair to looking like a "natural" blond and every color in between, takes skilled hands and an eye for artistry. I can't say enough of how amazing the salon and Nora are. I would continue to drive 3 hours to see Nora if it weren't for the fact that I work full time and have two kiddos now doing sports on the weekends. Walnut Creek has no idea what an amazing salon and talent they have just off of Mt. Diablo blvd!“

“Patricia is a talented hair dresser! My curly hair got a new bounce thanks to her!! I was lucky to get a last minute appointment and she gave me an amazing layered cut in just a half an hour!! 5 stars!!! I’m excited that her salon is close to my place because I found my new go-to hair dresser for my curly hair!!“

“Claire is fantastic and keeps me coming back year after year. Amanda her partner has also worked on my hair and is equally great.“

“so talented and sweet. the whole shop is very inviting. she always delivers what im looking for, which is not easy with all this hair i have! been coming for years and i leave smiling every time.“

“I went to Emily for a fresh new cut and color. I had not colored my hair in about 6 years. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she went to work delivering better than the picture! Everyday I look at my hair up or down and I enjoy the beautiful job she did. The salon is in a nice location, its clean and bright and Emily is a wonderful addition! I look forward to seeing her again for touchups and haircuts! Thank you Emily.“

“Excellent services by a knowledgeable and professional skin care specialist.....great location....easy parking“

“I booked a same-day facial at Spa Orgánica and it was AMAZING! The location is great, the spa suite itself is quiet and relaxing, the products used were top notch and my skin looks incredible. On top of that, Christina is a lovely human who was so welcoming and thorough with her extractions. I can't wait to come back. If you're thinking of booking a service, definitely do it!“

“Glamour! Seriously, come here and buy the most glamorous cosmetics. I found a lip gloss shade I have been wanting since my teens. I always loved and wanted black gloss. The closest I could come to it was at Party City! It was not cute... but this is. Parking was easy for downtown Walnut Creek! Get your foundations et cetera here, too!“

“I had such a pleasurable experience I don’t even know where to begin. I received the gift certificate for a facial for my bday, and ive only had one other facial over 15-20yrs ago so i really didn’t know what to expect. Kim was amazing, communicative and educational. She explained why she was doing things, and how me doing this at home would help me reach my skin care goals. She even taught me how to use my new tool I bought! My favorite part of the facial was when she used a motorized brush on my face, it was so soothing, also enjoyed the mask THAT SHE CUSTOM MIXED JUST FOR MY FACE. ? Which brings me to another thing I learned about Ms Evans, she’s a mixologist (I’m pretty sure that’s not the technical term?)…But the point is she can custom make ur skin masks, massage oil, and ladies foundation!! I’ve never been to a facility that does all of that. ***Context: some women have a hard time finding an “over the counter” foundation that truly matches their complexion and/or skin tone. So the fact that you can have it custom made @ 2gorjis is a game changer*** So all in all I’m over the moon impressed with 2gorjis Health & Wellness. I can’t wait to come back in 6-8wks for my follow up facials.. Thanx Kim“

“Cori is magical! She makes the process so easy and seamless while keeping it real the whole time. My sugars are always smooth, grow out is seamless and my skin (and me) leave feeling wonderful. Will always book with her if there is availability!“

“We had a great experience with Abhilasha's bridal and groom hair-and-makeup services for our sangeet, ceremony, and reception. Each of the looks she crafted for the bride were unique and top-notch, and the styling she provided to the groom made him look his best during each event. She also did a wonderful job with bridal saree draping and jewelry setting. If you are looking for a high-end hair-and-makeup artist that brings out natural beauty and creates looks that work well with your outfits, then you should definitely go with Abhilasha for your wedding. One of the first things that stood out to us when meeting with hair-and-makeup artists during the early stages of wedding planning was the fact that Abhilasha had a ton of experience with South Indian brides, which is not the case for many artists. Her Instagram also features a wide variety of looks, complexions, and face types that showcases the strength of her artistry and skills. Based on this portfolio of work and the fact that her pricing was fair (i.e., comparable to other leading hair-and-makeup artists in the Bay Area), we felt comfortable that Abhilasha was the right artist for our South Indian wedding. In advance of the wedding weekend, we exchanged stylistic ideas with Abhilasha to ensure that we were aligned on what types of looks we wanted to achieve. During the hair and makeup trial, we tried a look for our sangeet that didn't quite work. Over the next few days, we discussed different options, and she ultimately helped select a look that turned out great for the sangeet. We really appreciated that Abhilasha listened to our feedback and worked with us to arrive at great looks for the different events. Additionally, Abhilasha provided us with great feedback on the jewelry that we were considering for the ceremony. For example, she noticed an inconsistency in style between two elements of the bride's ceremony outfit. Because she flagged this about a month in advance of the wedding, it gave us enough time to find a better alternative. Based on our experience, we highly recommend scheduling a bridal trial if you want to test out a unique look so that you avoid any surprises on wedding day. We were very happy we did this as it made us feel more comfortable entering the wedding weekend. During the wedding weekend, Abhilasha was on-time, organized, and professional. She told us to block off 2.5-3 hours for each hair-and-makeup session, which was an accurate estimate. She paid very close attention to detail and made sure that every look was as close to perfection as could be. She also was thoughtful - she made sure there was not too much commotion in the bridal suite during the pre-reception hair-and-makeup session, which allowed the bride to take a nap while getting her hair done. Abhilasha is a fun, sassy, and honest person, which means you will not be bored during your hair and makeup sessions. Abhilasha also did the groom's makeup for each of the events (it took about 10-15 minutes per event). While some people may not think this is necessary, we found that her makeup made sure the groom looked his best during the wedding photoshoots. Ultimately, if you are planning an Indian wedding in the Bay Area or Napa and want an elevated look for your bridal and groom hair-and-makeup, then you should strongly consider Abhilasha. Her work is top-notch and you will walk away feeling extremely satisfied with your looks for your wedding events.“

“She is very professional and experienced. She did exactly what I was asking for. Awesome haircut.“

“I'm working in this Salon now. I still have openings in my schedule for anyone who's wanting to get in and in see me. Cuts , color , and chemical services available. Keratin Smoothing, fantasy colors. Extensions. Book an appointment with me.“

“I saw Ellie yesterday after lunch at Comelones Tacos. Her prices are 75 dollars for a haircut. She was prompt and was serving two people when I saw her. My appointment was at 12 noon and that is when I sat in her chair. The salon itself is very small with one chair for waiting clients. There were three stations and all three ladies including Ellie looked like true professionals. I didn't see any chatting or joking but complete attention to their clients except for Ellie who checked her cellphone several times and also talked on her cellphone while cutting my hair. Since I paid 90 (after a 15 dollar tip) for a 22 minute service, I felt a little cheated. Ellie washed my hair for five minutes from 12:00 to 12:05. At 12:22, I was outside getting into my car which meant that my haircut was 17 minutes. 90 dollars for a 17 minute haircut just doesn't feel right. My haircut was very basic, a few layers in the back and I didn't really see much layers framing my face which she promised. I would have liked a little more detailed framing. I will see how my hair grows out but I am unsure I will come back. Also, Ellie doesn't take credit cards so I had to pay her cash which she appreciated.“
