Hello!

My interest of hair and makeup began as a young teen not knowing this would be my career path. During those years I have always played with friend’s hair and experimenting makeup looks for our proms and special occasions. It may not have looked the best however that was always my interest. My friends and I always went to the makeup counters at the mall and I would admire the artists and their work. I would think to myself wondering could this be me one day or am I not good enough? In 2004, I was asked to be my cousin’s Maid of Honor not knowing the rules of this position. She assured me that everything would be handled with hair and makeup as a package deal was set up. Unfortunately a hiccup happened where I was placed in a position where I had to perform hair and makeup on all the ladies including myself. Being under this much pressure, I was nervous and didn’t think it would turn out good. The outcome was amazing and a success! I guess this was a blessing in disguise and a window of opportunity for me! Shortly after I decided to enroll into beauty school to pursue my passion and dreams, and boy was that fun! After my education in Cosmetology I landed a gig for a Photo Shoot that entitled a few wardrobe changes along with the makeup changes. The fast paced environment was my jam! I then was offered a Wedding gig and FELL IN LOVE! I continued my professional career in Weddings specializing with Bridal Hair Styling and Makeup. In between, I often take courses and attend convention shows to keep up with the latest trends. 7 Years later I was offered a position as the Northern California Educator Specialist for the company Givenchy for LVMH Fragrance Brands that is Sephora Exclusive. Every day is a blessing and I am thankful for every opportunity and always looking for more as my journey continues………

I'm so happy to have met Alicia and received her services. Communication over texts and email was so easy and I knew what to expect. Alicia was always friendly with everyone and took feedback to give people exactly what they wanted. She is impeccable with her scheduling and timing as well. If I ever have another reason to get dolled up, I'll be sure to ask Alicia. =)
This review is so long overdue! Alicia and her team were amazing to work with on my wedding day (May 2018). Even though I have only met with Alicia in-person twice (trial day & wedding day), I felt like I have known her for so long. She has a bubbly energy that made it so easy to talk to. Leading up to the big day, Alicia was very responsive to all my questions. I had no idea how I wanted my hair or make up for the wedding and she was so helpful with providing me with so many suggestions. On my wedding day, Alicia arrived bright and early with her team Jenna & Perri. They were excited and ready to work their magic on me, my 7 bridesmaids, both moms and my flower girl. It was such a fun morning filled with laughter. I remember at one point I was having major anxiety with timing, but Alicia was so sweet and helped ease my nerves.
Alicia is a super pro when it comes to make-up and hair. Her expert knowledge was definitely appreciated and she completed all of the girls' services in a timely manner - and with time to spare for touch-ups! She took the time to listen and review each of the girls' make-up / hair requests and ensured everyone felt gorgeous and comfortable with their looks. As the bride, I really appreciated how my make-up and hair felt natural, didn't look overdone, and lasted throughout the wedding!
My hair and makeup stayed put the entire night and my hair did not feel heavy or uncomfortable at all! It was amazing. I even slept in my hair and wore it the next morning to brunch.
She is very sweet and will listen to your wants. Of course she also has an amazing eye for hair and makeup. If you are looking to get glammed up I highly recommend Alicia.
Alicia was very methodical in her process. She organized everything up front; reviewing Covid safety protocols, to understanding our timeline of events and preferred hair / make-up aesthetics. She provided us with an itinerary for our glam session and kept us on schedule. Alicia is absolutely a master at her craft. She did such a stunning job on execution. Our makeup palettes were tailored (mixed and blended) to the exact tones needed to accent our facial features. She even left us with touch up kits in case we needed them throughout the day. I highly recommend Alicia. She is an amazing stylist that is so thoughtful in composition and technique.
Alicia did the most amazing job for my wedding. She was extremely easy to work with, receptive to feedback, punctual and just a great person all around.
I booked her for a trial, which I highly recommend. It allowed me to see how the makeup and hair stayed for the day, and to see if I wanted any changes (fuller lashes? more coverage? softer look?). Alicia also came the following week to do my HMU for our family/cultural ceremony. I loved how thoughtful she was in giving a different look for the different events.
She did HMU for the mothers as well. She was very thoughtful and asked beforehand what kind of style and look they wanted. She really cares about making people happy and has exquisite attention to detail.
Both hair and makeup stayed on the entire night and I had 0 issues at both events.
Honestly, I didn't think I could look so beautiful!!! I've had my hair and makeup done in the past and this was by far the best experience and happiest I've ever been.
You can't go wrong with Alicia!
