“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.“

“Tamra’s makeup clean-up session was such a game changer for me! She not only helped me sort through all my products, but she also took the time to explain why certain shades didn’t work for my undertone, how pigment payoff really matters, and what to look out for when choosing products in the future. She guided me toward makeup that actually complements me and tossed out the things that were holding my routine back.

What I loved most is that it wasn’t just a clean-up—it was a lesson. Tamra broke everything down in a way that made sense and really stuck with me. Now I’m much more intentional when I shop for makeup, and I feel so much more confident knowing what truly works for me. Highly recommend her if you want to elevate your makeup bag and your knowledge at the same time!“

“Rebecca was perfect! she did both my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was so so happy with it. I wanted a natural look and she really delivered and was easy to work with. highly highly recommend!“

“Naomi saved my hair after a traumatic balayage I got while traveling. I am very happy with how my hair turned out and I highly recommend Naomi if you need a color correction or balayage. She’s very attentive to your specific needs, and will make your hair look it’s best.“

“Missy Moran Studios is my new go-to place for Hydrafacials. Missy a total pro, gets input on what her clients main concerns are and very communicative on her plan before and while the facial itself. She even offers a light tinted sunscreen to protect your skin afterwards. I will definitely be back soon.“

“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.“

“Best hair cut! I go to see Mozgani. She is awesome. I get a pretty short hair cut and she is able to work around my cowlicks and makes it look great. They also have really good quality hair products for sale in-house. Highly recommend.“

“I’ve been coming to this salon for over 10 years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about it. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional it always feels like visiting family. The service is consistently top-notch, whether it’s a simple haircut or something more involved. They really take the time to listen to what you want and make sure you leave happy every single time.

The salon is always clean, comfortable, and well-run, which makes every visit relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a reliable, skilled, and genuinely warm salon experience. It’s rare to find a business that maintains such high standards year after year, and this one absolutely does.“

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

“Consuelo is incredibly skilled at her craft! I was preparing for my wedding day and after a miserable makeup trial with someone else, stumbling upon Consuelo's portfolio made me hopeful. Despite the short notice, she graciously squeezed me into her schedule and worked her magic. She helped me look and feel my best for my wedding day. On top of that, she's not just talented; she's also super friendly, totally professional, and actually listens to what you want. Consuelo is awesome, and if you want someone who'll make you feel gorgeous on your big day, please contact her -- TODAY! I highly recommend her!“

“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!“

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

“I love Sarah and I LOVE her makeup! The lip glosses are fantastic, and I just bought a beautiful new eyeshadow pallet that I'm excited to use. Sarah clearly knows how to make women feel good about themselves through her products and her energy...I am a huge fan!“

“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.“

“Thank you, Jinny! You are amazing. As a mom, putting my kids first is always a priority. You took excellent care of my teens during high school and continue to care for all of our skin needs today. Your delightful demeanor, effective skincare products, and treatments truly make a difference. I always feel cared for and walk out rejuvenated and glowing. (Pictured is the LED light.) Thank you Jinny for taking care of our family, and if I could get my husband in, I would! Men!

Highly Recommend! Questions, just call me!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming to Marisol for 10+years . She is patient and very knowledgeable when it comes to coloring my hair . She’s amazing and always does a great job transforming my hair to my satisfaction. She always makes sure I leave happy ?

Definitely recommend her always !“

“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!“

“Eryn and her team did a great job helping me grow out my grey hair. They not only explained every step and made my hair look great at every stage, but Eryn understood and supported the change of having my hair reflect my age.“

“I've been getting facials with Chris for over a year now and I couldn't be happier to have her in charge of my skin care! Chris is knowledgeable in dealing with many different skin issues (acne, dark spots, dry skin) and I always walk out of her studio with that "snatched" face look. I love that Chris is always bringing the latest technology into her studio, now offering micro-derm and micro-current treatments. I feel like my skin has never looked better!“

“Maricela is great at what she does! I have been looking for a good hairdresser for a long time and I am glad I found her✨ She understands what you want and is completely honest about realistic results without sacrificing the health of your hair. I will definitely come back?“

“Elisha is amazing. I trust her expertise wholeheartedly and always leave looking and feeling like a million bucks.“

“Rhyann has been doing my lashes for many years. She is professional, reliable, and fun to talk to. She has added longer glam lashes for my special occasions. My normal set looks natural and amazing! I highly recommend Rhyann.“

“Crystal updated my long layers and taught me how to take better care of my hair when heat styling. She also did my toddler's first haircut, and we will both be back. Thank you!“
