Makeup in Oakland

“I had such an amazing experience for my first tattoo! She took my vision and brought it to life perfectly. The whole process was fast, professional, and super comfortable. Her line work is so clean and exactly what I wanted. Pricing was very reasonable, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and her work. I’m absolutely obsessed with how both tattoos turned out and already can’t wait to come back for more. I would literally travel across the world to get more work done by her. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a talented artist with great vibes and beautiful work!“

“Last-minute booking, flawless result. Tamra is the real deal.
I needed a makeup artist on short notice for my CEO’s keynote at Human+Tech Week in San Francisco, and Tamra delivered without missing a beat. From the moment we connected, she understood exactly what the moment called for: a polished, stage-ready look that would read well under event lighting while still feeling soft, elevated, and authentically her.

Tamra came fully prepared, arriving with multiple product options and a clear vision. Her contouring and blending were precise. She enhanced my executive’s natural complexion beautifully rather than masking it. The result was confident, camera-ready, and exactly the soft glam we envisioned for a high-profile stage appearance.

Her professionalism, calm energy, and genuine artistry made what could have been a stressful last-minute situation feel completely seamless. If you need someone who truly understands makeup for women of color, high-definition environments, and the stakes of a public-facing moment, Tamra is your person. Highly recommend, and we will absolutely be booking her again.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“As a planner, Rebecca at ShineForth is an absolute joy to work with. She is kind, professional, accommodating and more than willing to work with you to make sure your client feels taken care of, beyond expectations. She worked with our bride to ensure she was happy with her hair and makeup well in advance of her wedding day so that come the day of it was the last thing she had to worry about. Instead of this being a stress point, as it is at times, the hair and makeup portion of the evening became the time for our bride to relax, breathe and reset before walking down the aisle. I cannot recommend her enough!“

“Loved my cut. Stylist actually listened and didn’t do “whatever they wanted instead.” That alone deserves five stars.“

“Missy is lovely. I recently had my first HydraFacial and was blown away by the results. The experience itself was relaxing and soothing. Missy is friendly and fun, so there was great conversation, along with quiet, peaceful times. She took her time to get to know me, my health habits, my skin, and my hopes for my skin. I loved the whole process and was so happy with how my face looked afterwards - clear, smooth, and radiant. I will definitely be back and highly recommend Missy.“

“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.“

“I barely did review on google, but when I do, the service I got was worth it. Id like to thank Hailey for being flexible with my schedule today, even though she has a packed schedule on July 4th. Hailey is a hard worker and l can see how much she cares for her customers with her service. She takes a good care of my lashes, makes sure my filling is full and the retention is excellent. 10/10“

“I had a haircut with Krista and she was amazing!! She asked all the right questions and listened to what I wanted and my concerns. My hair is fine and we took it from long with grown out bangs to about collar bone length with a new-to-me style of bangs that I loved. I already have my bang trim and next cut appointments booked.“

“My finger waves are beautiful, thank you Jae Walker! Looking forward to coming back soon for another deep conditioning and styling!“

“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 am so thankful to have found Janea to do my makeup for my wedding last month. I scrambled to find an MUA at the last minute after not having found the right artist and when I found Janea’s work during my research, I was confident she was the right choice for my big day and she did not disappoint! Even when Bay to Breakers got her stuck in hours long traffic, she made it and gave me the look I wanted. I felt beautiful and my friends and family members looked gorgeous, too. I’m thankful to have found her; she’s professional, detailed and thorough, and is a personable person to be around. I’d be happy to seek her services again for a future event.

Thank you so much Janea!“

“Took great care of my hair when it started to lock up, shout out to Ideth, she was so nice and patient“

“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.“

“Nicole is an all around all star and someone you can trust 100% to make your hair and makeup dreams a reality. I've gone to her twice for a haircut, once for full balayage, and once for toner. Before I went in for a toner it had been six months since we had done color and I was still getting compliments from people on my hair color! Most recently I decided to book Nicole for my birthday updo and makeup and she was phenomenal! I was a bit worried because the appointment was at 9am and my event wasn't until 3pm. She utilized a special sewing technique for the loose curls look I wanted and it lasted all day through the night. Before I went to bed I took out the pins and my bun was still intact when I woke up because of the sewing! Magic! I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I loved how she did my makeup and how she worked with my natural features. I felt like a princess. Thank you, Nicole!!“

“Dwight Davis is a genius hairstylist, a rockstar and an all around cool person. I’ve done lots of colors, shapes and textures with my hair thanks to him. He was referred to me by a friend- we both have long curly hair which he’s done a great job with. Super cute little space, 2 chairs, very personal and professional at the same time.“

“Went to Bounce Blow Dry Bar for an updo for my wedding last week! They did great work, looked at my inspo photos and then modified based on my hair.

The style was secure throughout all the wedding festivities and I got many compliments. Price was fabulous compared to so many other wedding hair vendors, and Melissa and Emma made me feel so cared for.

Definitely recommending it to friends who want help with event hair or just a lovely blow out experience because even the music was a good time!“

“Trenell has cared for my hair for several years, providing everything from natural styles to Keratin treatments that consistently leave my hair silky, glossy, beautifully finished, healthy bouncy hair
growth with inches in length. Earlier this year, when I wanted to try clip-ins, Trenell installed my clip-in extensions, we discussed the possibility of transitioning to K-Tips. However, after assessing the current condition and long-term goals for my hair, Trenell recommended a Healthy Hair Growth Sew-In with custom color applied to my
human-hair wefts. Trenell's guidance reflects both her expertise and her commitment to maintaining the health and integrity of my hair.“

“I have been a repeat customer for about ~3 years. Tsomuka is an artist and a talented professional. I walk in with an idea, maybe a sample picture and she interprets it very well. A perfect location for transformational looks as well as maintenance cuts.“
