I am so happy that I booked Sierra Jane Studios for my wedding hair and make up. I highly recommend the Monroe Flow package, as it got me looking the absolute best for the big day. During the whole process, Sierra and Hannah made me feel comfortable and allowed me to ask lots of questions.

  • Starts at $750
  • Serves Fowler, CA

Based in Clovis, CA, A & A Bridal Hair and Makeup was born in 2015 by sisters & professional hair and makeup artists - Ashley and Alyssa Tucker. Having worked in the industry for over a decade, providing hair and makeup services separately for weddings, photoshoots and all events - Ashley and Alyssa realized the need to come together and provide their services, offering brides & clients the convenience of both hair and makeup in one place. The demand for our services quickly grew and we put together a team of talented artists to better serve you! We are now going on our 18th year in the beauty & bridal industry.

I LOVE these people! I looked exactly like I always dreamed I would. My wedding day was stormy and raining during the ceremony so I though I would end up looking like a wet dog by the end of it. Come to find out my makeup didn't budge a bit and my hair (which gets VERY frizzy when wet) stayed put too. They worked so hard to make sure I looked and felt my best on my big day and I honestly can't thank them enough. I felt and looked amazing all night long even after the rain thanks to these beautiful people. I 100% suggest you hire them for your event. It is so worth it!

Raven was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional, communicative, helpful, and a complete sweetheart! I had her booked to just do the makeup for me and one of my bridesmaids. So I truly appreciated the fact that she made time to do my mother-in-law’s makeup last minute as well, and she was extremely gracious about it. Trust me when I say this: you will not regret choosing Raven for your makeup/beauty needs.

I can’t say enough good things about Tiffany. She did my wedding makeup and later for my professional headshots, and both turned out beautifully. I’m someone who often struggles to describe what I want, but she knew exactly how to bring out my best features with a clean, minimalist look that still felt completely natural. Her intuitive sense of style and warm, grounded energy made me feel so comfortable and confident. I would trust her again and again with any occasion—she’s that good.

Hello! I'm Koryn Wirth, the owner of Klose-Up Beauty. I'm a wedding and special occasion hair and makeup in California and Florida. Willing to travel for events! We offer brides the option for traditional makeup or airbrush application. All brides also receive a complimentary touch up kit for their big day .

I had such a wonderful experience with Klose Up Beauty/ Koryn for my San Francisco City Hall elopement. She did my hair and makeup, as well as my fiancé’s hair, and I was so happy to find someone who offered services for the groom too—something I didn’t see often while searching. She was incredibly fast and helpful when it came to communication, answering all my questions and putting me at ease right from the start. On the day of the wedding, she made me feel so comfortable while getting ready and was very attentive to making sure I was happy with the look. She encouraged me to speak up if I wanted anything changed, which I really appreciated—it made the experience feel very collaborative and relaxed. Since I got ready alone for the elopement, it meant a lot that she also helped me with my dress and veil. That extra bit of support made such a difference and really showed how much she cares about her clients. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—professional, warm, and truly thoughtful. Highly recommend her to anyone eloping or getting married in the area!

My name is Renee and I am a hairstylist with over 10yrs of experience. I graduated from Baytown Lee in the cosmetology program in 2010. I have worked with many professionals on movie sets, music videos and plays. Out of all the experience I have had nothing has given me more meaning and excites me about doing hair then getting a bride ready for her groom. My business is now dedicated to traveling to wedding venues to take care of brides and her bridal party. I love to interact with people and show my creativity with all hair types through my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t have chosen a better hairstylist to make my wedding style come to life. I was Renee’s first destination bride and she went above and beyond my expectations. She brought a comfortable, home-like, loving experience to my wedding experience. I received hair styles for an event I had with my bridal party, my welcome party, and my wedding day, & to say I loved all three styles would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. Renee truly brought my confidence up another notch for the best days of my life. She was very accommodating, passionate, and caring to all of my needs and my bridal party’s’. She made the biggest sacrifice taking my wedding contract, with my wedding day being her youngest & only daughter’s birthday & I will forever be grateful for that. She had every woman feeling so beautiful on my wedding day, especially my mom and that warmed my heart. Renee is truly a God send, she always helped when I would feel so defeated, so much so she introduced me to my makeup artist for my wedding, because the closer my date got I was in a horrific panic that I wouldn’t find one to fit my budget and Renee made sure I wouldn’t stress any further about it. There is so much more I can say, but what I want every future bride to know is you TRULY will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t hire Renee to be your wedding day/ bridal hairstylist.

I hired Tiffany to do my friends make up for her spring wedding this past May. I simply cannot recommend Tiffany and her team enough. When seeking out a MUA for my friend, I knew it was important to have someone who was understanding and patient. Tiffany has such a personable attitude while maintaining a professional demeanor which keeps the energy of the room very calm. Our bridal suite indeed got incredibly chaotic during our appointment time and Tiffany and Leydy both kept cool, didn’t add to the stress, maintained their schedule and executed everyone’s hair and makeup beautifully. Her manners during the appointment were impeccable, I can’t thank her and Leydy for keeping the energy up while getting ready under stress (it’s wedding day after all!) The makeup done for the bride and sister of the bride was flawless. Tiff really cares about her clients input and LISTENS TO YOU. Given past experiences with MUA, this was also an important factor in choosing her. Tiffany’s mission is to make you feel your best while making you look your best and knows that starts with you I like how she asks questions and takes the intimidation out of makeup. You don’t need to know makeup to be able to communicate your needs to Tiffany. The makeup held up the entire day, she even gave us a special little touch-up bag with thoughtful touches in it. There was a little mirror, cotton swabs, a little extra of the lipstick she used and a couple makeup wipes for the end of the night! I heard everyone throughout the day comment on how gorgeous the Brides makeup was and all the photos of it came out fantastic. I highly recommend Tiffany and Louder with Powder not only for the quality of makeup done but the quality of person Tiffany is. She inspires a confidence in you beyond the makeup she puts on your face :)

I am so glad I chose Adrianne to do my makeup for my big day. She was so easy-going, kind, and easy to communicate with, and she listened to all my questions and concerns about makeup. I usually wear little to no makeup, which left me at ease and looking my best on my big day! She was able to give me a very natural but beautiful look, which was exactly what I wanted! She came over for a makeup trial and really solidified my look for the wedding. We were able to figure out where I would need more moisturizer and coverage for my drier spots, which really helped for the day. My makeup also lasted all day, even with dancing well into the night. I would 100% recommend her services to anyone and will keep her in mind for any future makeup services I may need :)

I’ve been passionate about styling hair for special occasions since I was in high school, this is always something I knew I loved. I always look forward to each one of my weddings!

Darien was amazing. I found her through a deep dive of research because I am from out of town and didn’t know where to start when finding a hair stylist. I knew I wanted either an up do or half up or half down hair style. After seeing her Instagram, I loved the bridal hairstyles she did previously. She responded timely, was accommodating for my hair trial, answered all my questions, even helped make an appt for my now husband for his haircut before the wedding, very patient with my bridesmaids, and affordable!
