Makeup in San Jose

“Geet worked with me for my henna, Haldi ceremony, wedding day In South San Jose. She did a great job with my hair, makeup, saree placement and arm/feet mehndi. She is connected to a team of different stylists specializing in florals (for my Haldi ceremony flower jewelry, wedding garlands, hair florals), saree pleaters, henna artists, facial artists, and other hair/ makeup artists who worked on my mom and MIL's hair and makeup. Geet also had a team of henna artists who came and provided henna for our guests.
Geet has a great eye for detail. She did consultations with me beforehand to see what my vision was for my hair and makeup. She does makeup really well, I don't like heavy makeup and she accommodated my needs and my normally frizzy hair looked very sleek. She did my reception, hair and makeup change after the ceremony. I would highly recommend Geet and her team for your Indian wedding.“

“Absolutely love my hair! Niloo is the best!!! I always look forward to my appointments!“

“My mom and I took a joint class with Pauline to learn to do makeup for my upcoming wedding. Pauline was flexible and was able to squeeze us in for some back to back makeup lessons.

She was very thorough and took stock of our existing makeup before the class, letting us know what was still good and what we should purchase in advance, which I appreciated -- very helpful and I didn't feel pressured at all to make new purchases.

Overall the makeup class was very hands on and easy to follow, I learned a lot about makeup application and techniques specific to set makeup for all day events. She had us practice application during the class rather than just listen to instructions. She's been very helpful and responsive, providing tips and feedback on product and application advice even after the lesson.

Highly recommend Pauline for makeup classes or makeup application, we will definitely be back! Thank you!“

“Rocio did a gorgeous job bringing me to a beautiful summer blonde with full highlights and blending. Extremely lively salon vibe with wonder stylists. I found my new master stylist here in San Jose.“

“I was in town from Philadelphia area on a business trip. I was on the hunt for specific skin care products and advice and Liz was fantastic! She squeezed me in for a facial appointment, did a full skin care consultation, and helped me with choosing the right skin care products for my skin. I couldn't wait to go back to the hotel and use all the new products. My skin feels fantastic!“

“Rosita is one pleasant, able professional. She'll listen to how you want your haircut and does it exactly as you've explained. Their reasonable prices also makes it easier to tip“

“Had the best threading experience here! She’s so gentle, quick, and precise, and her warm, sweet nature makes the whole experience even better. I left feeling pampered and with perfect brows! Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely obsessed with how my daughter looked for her 7th birthday ?✨ Huge thank you to Cathy for making her feel like a real-life princess! ? She was so gentle, patient, and talked to my daughter the entire session, which made her feel so comfortable and special. The hair and makeup turned out absolutely perfect and stayed flawless through all the fun! Truly made her day extra magical ??✨ Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been coming to Nikki for the past few years now for my brow/lip & I can’t imagine going to anyone else! She’s very kind, fun to talk to, and is great about walking me through everything when doing my brows. I cannot thank her enough for how well she does my them ❤️ she’s the best!“

“Ivy gave me a sweet 2-bald Fade only took less than 10 minutes ?

Awesome!“

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Sonam! From the moment I met her, we connected. She is just the sweetest, most adorable person. On the wedding day, she arrived right on time and completely put me at ease. The morning felt so incredibly relaxed and pampering. She also did my mom's makeup for the wedding, and my mom was absolutely thrilled with how she looked and how happy she was with the experience!

What truly blew me away, though, was her flexibility. Even though it wasn't originally planned, she completely adjusted her schedule to come to the venue to fix my hair, makeup, and dress, and she even stayed to do a touch-up for my reception. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt perfect all day. If you want an artist who is not only incredibly talented but also feels like a supportive friend by your side, book her immediately!“

“I booked her makeup service for both the morning and afternoon on my wedding day. She not only did my makeup but also took care of my mom, my sister, and my bridesmaids. She arrived right on time, worked with great professionalism, and made sure everyone was ready without any stress.
What I loved most is that she enhanced our natural beauty — we all looked elegant, fresh, and glowing, not overdone. My family and friends kept complimenting how beautiful and natural we looked throughout the day.
Her talent and dedication really contributed to making my wedding day so perfect and memorable. I’m truly grateful for her work and highly recommend her to any bride who wants to look her very best on such a special day.“

“I always love coming to Breanna when getting my brows done, she always does such an exceptional job! I’ve been coming to her for the past few months now and she’s helped me achieve the brows of my dreams, she’s very detail oriented, takes her time, and does a great job every time an overall excellent experience.“

“Kim always makes me look amazing Kelly is amazing beautiful personality I wouldn't go anywhere else but to Kelly salon God bless everybody who works there Beautiful People Hospitality on the money and when they know how to make you look good let me tell you they do wonders for me“

“The place is clean, I like that they give you shampoo and conditioner even if you have washed your hair, they give you a cut and style your hair. I think the cost for the entire service is excellent and very reasonable. Highly recommended

Stylist: Elizabeth was my stylist. A person with professional ethics takes all the time to ensure that the cut is truly as you requested; He listens to you carefully and then works his magic.
The best stylist I have ever met in my life.“

“I've been going to Corey for at least 4 years so this review is long overdue. I found Corey by googling "Asian men's hair" and he appeared on the bottom of the first page. At the time, he was close to where I lived. Since that time, he is now far from where I live and his availability and my work hours on occasion make it difficult to schedule...but he is worth it. Three things make him stand out better to me than any other person that has cut my hair: 1. I usually try to get a haircut every 5 weeks. I can give myself a fade on the sides (or at least, he is kind enough to not give me his real opinion!) But due to life and work, getting a regularly scheduled haircut isn't always the case. However, I feel like I can go a few weeks longer without my hair going native on me. It just keeps its shape. 2. Having straight, black, Asian hair, I've always had to use product to get it to lay down especially on certain mornings. As my hair got longer and more unruly, I would feel like I would have to use more product. Corey's haircuts almost require no need for product in my hair. Sometimes, I just use a leave-in conditioner to hold things in place or I've even just left the house with nothing in my hair on occasion. For me, this is unheard of since 7th grade. 3. I've always characterized the time after a haircut as occurring in 3 phases. The immediate phase when the hair is shortest, the "sweet spot" phase when the haircut looks sharp, and the end when the hair is too long and you need a hair cut. The "sweet spot" is the period where you enjoy the haircut. Where you look in the mirror and gleam at the high and tight fade. Where your hair is manageable and you don't have to think about your hair amongst the myriad of other things you have to worry about in your life. Corey's haircuts have the longest "sweet spot" period out of all the haircuts I've ever had. By far. Other than that, Corey is just a really good dude. He is easy to talk to and time just easily passes between us.“

“Lily was the absolute best and created my dream wedding hair and makeup look! She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me feel so beautiful and comfortable.“

“I’ve been coming since 2017 and have been lashed by everyoneeee. I don’t always get to stick with my favorites due to work and having three littles. That being said, I was lashed by Brandy two weeks ago. I was skeptical to book with someone new to the shop but LOVED her work. My lashes look awesome, held beautifully for two weeks, and she was extremely kind and gentle. I loved the fill so much I wanted to give a shout out to her and share that she’s a great addition to the team. Looking forward to seeing her again this weekend, go Brandy!“

“I had to find a new hair dresser after my longtime gal retired. I'm SO relieved to have known of this salon since I had stopped in there a few times to buy their Aveda products. My recently retired gal had stopped selling that brand in her salon so I kept buying them at Gorgeous A Salon. Anyway, I decided to try out this place for my cut and balayage color, and Sophia has been excellent! She nails it every time, and goes above and beyond to make me feel welcome and make me look great! My previous gal often would change my look or change the color products and kind of use me as her guinea pig, but I wasn't crazy about that. But with Sophia, she lets me keep my same style and color each time I go in. No experiments or switching out products. I love her consistency with always getting it right every time. But I also wanted to say that I find the other stylists in the salon to be quite friendly too. There is always friendly conversation and warm heartedness towards me from them too. I enjoy my time when I'm there. I so appreciate this place. No pretentiousness, fair prices, and excellent services. Also, they're never pushy about selling me products I don't need...but I often DO buy nice products from them since Aveda is one of my faves! Also, I must say that I am super impressed with their mask-on policy where they care about their customers keeping safe from COVID. I know some folks may not like this protocol they still stick with, but I am grateful, as I am a caregiver during the day and need to keep the elders in my life safe. ;-)“

“Awesome job! Thank You Danny
Will recommend you to my family & friends.
Love my new look“

“Impulsively wanted a haircut before my vacation. I was able to book the same day. Sasha was my hairstylist. She was very kind and detailed. She asked me questions, made recommendations and took her time cutting and styling my hair. I love my new cut and would book with her again“

“Liz does amazing work. I am new to the area and after several nightmare experiences, I was finally able to make friends with my hair again. I’m so glad I found her. ?Service: Haircut“

“Rebecca is amazing! She did my bridal makeup-- as well as makeup for my two sisters, mom, and MIL-- for my wedding, and everyone looked fantastic! She's truly an expert and her warm, friendly demeanor made everyone feel comfortable. Francelli also rocks at hair and did different styles for everyone, which they all loved. Was so grateful to have the Kiss & Make-Up team a part of my special day!“

“Lien was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was kind and considerate, and really listened to what it was. I wanted for my wedding day. She was so laid-back and relaxed, she helped keep me chill on the big day. Her expertise and knowledge, along with all of her years in the industry, make her one of the most valuable assets a bride could have! I know if I have any other big events that require hair and makeup, I know who I would contact first. Thank you Lien!!!“

“Alexis is the ONLY person I trust with my eyebrows. There is nobody that even comes close!“
