Wedding Any body know of any good hair&make-up person in the San Francisco Bay Area?

[gtn]

More specifically, I was hoping for something in the Berkeley Area. I have someone booked already, but after talking to her to set up the trial, I decided that I don''t want to work with her. First off, she does not want to travel to me, she wants me to travel to her and 2nd, she doesn''t listen. Maybe it was a language barrier as the person who recommended her to me was chinese and she speaks chinese. I don''t think I want to waste my time and money on her. I would be looking for someone to do just me, my attendants are taken care of. Also, the person I originally booked was $350, is that the going rate?

TIA

Hi gtn,

Yes, unfortunately $350 seems to be about the going rate for makeup/hair in the Bay Area

I''m getting married up in Napa so my stylists might be too far for you, but there are a few people I previously contacted/read about who are further south and might work for you:

Meaganne McCandess
Makeup by Stacy
Wow Pretty

I''ve also heard good thing about a hair stylist, Mireya, who works at Elixir Salon, which is in Berkeley.

HTH!

I''m using Sherrie Long. She''s walnut creek. I did my trail and am happy.

A friend of mine will be using Sherrie Long next weekend! She was thrilled with her trial, saying Sherrie was a great blend of both sweet and talented.
