Makeup in San Francisco

“I moved to the area a few months ago and was looking for a new stylist. Gino stood out to me with his bio and previous work so I scheduled an appointment and I'm so happy I did! The salon is small but bright and welcoming and the people are equally as bright and welcoming. Gino is great at collaboration and suggesting new styles/colors to check out and is always ready to answer any product or styling questions I might have. He's also great for ideas about what to do in the area! Love this place!“

“Alicia was excellent! She is so easy to communicate with and super responsive during the entire process. On the day of my City Hall wedding, she put me at ease and made me look like an elevated version of myself. I went for a natural look, but wanted it to pop a bit for photography. She gave me exactly what I wanted for hair + makeup, and it lasted well throughout the day :) She is also really efficient - the total time was a little less than 1.5 hours. As someone who doesn’t love spending too much time getting ready, this was perfect for me. Lol. if you’re thinking about booking her, do it!“

“Ana is the best—truly. Do yourself a favor and book with her. I came in after a haircut I wasn’t loving and was seriously considering chopping all my hair off. Ana kept me grounded and helped me make the right call. Now my hair isn’t too short, I have zero regrets, and it looks so much better. I can even wear it without styling—something I didn’t think was possible after my last cut.

What sets Ana apart is her deep understanding of hair—how it moves, how it sits, and how to bring out its best without forcing it. On top of all that, she’s just a wonderful human being. I won’t go anywhere else.“

“Been coming to Kichun for a few years now for hair perms. He's helped me pull off many different styles (wavy, curly) and different hair lengths (long, medium). Worth the price if you're looking for a professional-grade Korean hair perm.“

“My hair has been dark for the whole winter season and ready for a change. So glad my friend told me about Paul because he did an amazing job with my highlights! The color he chose worked well with my skin tone! Highly recommend!“

“Hire Nicole! I couldn’t be more serious. After a terrible experience with a different makeup artist two weeks before my wedding I was reaching out to basically everyone who could do wedding makeup for Black bride. Nicole responded so warmly and supportively almost immediately that she was happy to help despite her already packed schedule. She accommodated my schedule and we managed to align on expectations, get a trial done and work with my hair stylist to make sure everything would be cohesive within days of first reaching out. And to anyone reading this. I looked the best I ever have! I received compliments all night about my makeup. I felt like such an elevated and beautiful version of myself. Not only did she do an amazing job like truly stunning. She’s super fun to work with. So sweet, so funny, so kind, so genuine, so talented. I could go on. But truly a professional in every sense. I mean she even checked in with my mom to make sure the look was mom approved. She will check all of your boxes and more. I promise. Hire her!“

“I’m looking for permanent makeup and considered Stella Kim but compared to other artists her prices are double and this is turnoff for me.“

“I want to give Dennis Banguera more than 5 stars. I came in for a haircut, and decided to get highlights as well. I told him how finicky my hair was and he recommended to trim instead for the short length I wanted and he was right he soften my dry frizzy hair and now it looks and feels soft and light! No upsell at all. Will definitely go back to him!“

“I did their Monay Hair Cryotherapy treatment. Life-changing! Frizz is gone, hair is so smooth and very easy to manage and style at home. 1000 percent recommend!“

“I went in for hair extensions removal and reapplication, and Fidel was amazing throughout the whole process. He not only did a flawless job with the extensions but also treated my hair with a great mask that left it feeling so soft and healthy. To finish, he gave me a fantastic styling that I absolutely loved. Fidel is professional, attentive, and really talented—I couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend him!“

“Been going to Lisa for years for color and she’s the best! Very careful and meticulous, just what you want in a colorist.“

“Best set of lashes I’ve ever had. Julie is thorough and kind and the lashes are still going strong in week 7“

“I go here for haircuts and Cezanne smoothing treatments and they are the best. I've had Lola for haircut and Ziggy does an amazing Cezanne super detailed and gentle.“

“Nicole is absolutely incredible. I’ve been seeing her for over 10 years, and she continues to impress me with her thoroughness and expertise. She has helped me navigate a variety of skin concerns throughout the years, always showing genuine care and dedication. It’s clear that she truly cares about her clients, and it shows in every interaction. I highly recommend The Art of Aesthetics to anyone looking for exceptional care and an amazing experience.“

“I've been using Maria Lee's skincare products for the last couple of years and I'm so impressed with the changes that I've seen in my skin. I'm in my mid 50s and got the anti-aging set from her and the difference in my skin is so noticeable. I like her high-quality ingredients and the way they smell and of course most importantly they are actually helping me look younger!“

“Eye candy sf offers nothing but a 5 star experience truly. This past Thursday was my second time going and it was great! The space is clean and well decorated with a relaxing vibe. The staff is sooo sweet, I've had the pleasure of working with Alisa and Alyssa and both experiences were professional and friendly with amazing results.

When I tell you, my lashes look good for so long. I get a lash lift and tint and without makeup my lashes look so full with a beautiful curl. During the consultation, you can explain the look your going for and they will talk with you about what they can do and how they will go about it. The process for a lift and tint itself took about 45 min, but they make sure you are comfortable the entire time and the ladies are so great to chat with!

Overall amazing experience with beautiful results, I will be telling all my girlfriends about this place!“

“I had my first appointment today at the Acute Collective and walked away thrilled out how great my hair looked. She gave me a hair cut that gave me layers while not taking any length and put an amazing conditioning treatment on. I am so happy I found her, cant wait to go back!“

“Beautiful hair salon with a laid back vibe. I personally come here for Geno, who has been cutting my hair for over a year now. I have never had someone give me such consistently good haircuts. I leave very satisfied each time!

Geno, along with most of the stylists working out of this space, are extremely booked up. So plan accordingly and schedule an appointment ahead of time.“

“Choosing April was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the very beginning, everything felt clear, professional, and stress free. Pricing was fully transparent (trial, day-of, early start, wedding party), and her email communication leading up to the wedding was incredibly helpful including timelines, prep tips, and extension recommendations. I always knew exactly what to expect.

The trial was 100% worth it. It allowed us to get a feel for each other, and I even used the glam look for pre-wedding photos which was a great bonus. It helped me see how everything photographed and how it felt on my face throughout the day, which gave me so much confidence going into the wedding.

On the wedding day, we had an extremely early start (4:30 AM!), and April and her team arrived energized, prepared, and ready to go. I ended up shifting my color palette and changing the front face-framing of my hair, and April was completely adaptable. The result was perfect. I felt beautiful but more importantly, I felt like myself.

If you want a makeup artist who is organized, talented, flexible, and truly cares about making you feel confident and seen, April is it. I couldn’t recommend her more!“

“Just booked my 3rd appointment with Dayna at Lyon St. and I love her. I have curls / waves in my hair and she is talented with them. She strikes the perfect balance for me of listening to my hair journey and providing recommendations based in her years of experience. You can tell that she wants you to happy with your hair. Her booking communication is fast and easy, salon is gorgeous in the afternoon sun too. I know exactly what I can expect with her and that makes getting my haircut simple and lovely. Dayna is a no-brainer when the goal is to have healthy, happy hair.“

“Aleen was prompt and started my appt immediately. She offered me tea, which was appreciated. She did a great job with my hair and bangs (which have cowlicks). She also was mindful of heat application to my recently done vivid hair color and curled it without stamping out the color (I’ve had blowouts do this…). But she used colder water, which I highly appreciated, and didn’t leave the heat styling irons on my hair for more time. The outcome was beautiful. She was pleasant to speak with as well.“

“Erika is a wizard. My hair always looks great when I leave her salon. No need to go anywhere else.“

“I have been seeing and following Dede for over 20 years. I started seeing her at Maiden Lane when I was 15 years old and she was the first person to shape my eyebrows. I always get complimented on them thanks to Dede. She is incredibly talented and can texturize my eyebrows like no one else. Where Dede goes, I go! I am very particular about my eyebrows and love that she never rushes anything and takes the time needed. She keeps my eyebrows up to date on trends yet still keeps them classy and full. When it comes to eyebrows, Dede is la crème de la crème.“

“Felicia did amazing- she recreated the exact look I wanted and paid so much attention to detail. No make up smudges even though that tends to happen to me. Hair stayed perfectly in place the whole time. It was a great natural but elevated/classy look. Couldn’t recommend enough, brides!“

“I had a good experience with A/N Artistry and would highly recommend them to any bride looking for hair and makeup services. While my first trial didn’t go quite as I had envisioned with Amanda’s assistant, the owner was incredibly understanding and responsive. She offered a second re-trial free of charge, and I’m so glad she did because she absolutely nailed it. She really listened to my feedback and worked with me to create a look that felt both beautiful and true to who I am.

On the wedding day, everything went smoothly and on schedule. My hair and makeup turned out beautifully.

The owner’s talent and attention to detail truly set her apart. While the assistants were kind and helpful, their work didn’t quite match the same level of artistry. The owner in my opinion definitely has the natural touch. That said, everyone still looked lovely, and the overall experience was positive.

A/N Artistry truly went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. Their professionalism, flexibility, and genuine care made all the difference, and I’m so grateful I hired Amanda.

Lastly, curly hair is has always been a challenge to find with hairstylist. She absolutely NAILED my biracial daughter’s hair style. It was so elegant and beautiful. It didn’t frizz up, or come out at all on the extremely windy yacht where the reception was held. That was very impressive.“
