I booked Dantam for my engagement photos and wedding day with my bridal party. She was easy going, very sweet & nice, and professional. I really liked how she did my hair & make up on both occasions and it really showed well in my photos. She was very accommodating to my bridal party, mother, and mother in law. You will be very happy with her services!

Julie Cao did an amazing job with my hair & makeup on my wedding day. I showed her what I wanted for my wedding day and she did exactly that. I had many compliments on my wedding day, especially about my hair! Julie is very sweet and she's really easy to work with. If you have any request or need any changes about anything, she is absolutely accommodating. Great customer service and talented HMUA!
At last minutes notice, due to unforeseen circumstances, I also had to find a HMUA for my mom. I ended up booking Vicky Tran who was very helpful to our messy situation. My mom also happens

I was lucky enough to get both my hair and makeup done by Nguyen Ha and I could not have been more grateful to her for making me feel so beautiful! I'm not used to wearing makeup so I was hesitant to get my makeup done in fear of not feeling like myself, but Nguyen did such an amazing job at applying a beautiful natural glam look that left me feeling like an elevated version of myself. Not only was her work flawless, it lasted all night, pictured perfectly, and received so many compliments!
Further, I admittedly fudged up my initial request by putting in the wrong date (I requested 1/31

I booked 3 HMUAs through A-List for me (AKA the bride), 2 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, 1 best woman, & 2 moms. They were all easy to communicate with, friendly, professional, & really love what they do.
DamTam Truong: I chose her to do my bridal hair and make-up after our trial. I emailed her with all the details I was looking for which she referenced during the trial. She listened to my concerns & feedback and gave me great advice on how to prep for the wedding day. I was debating between an updo and a half up/half down style; she was nice enough to let me come back to try the 2nd style for

This review is for Nguyen Ha. She is so amazing! She was on time and very much made my vision come true for my hair and makeup. Everyone loved my hair and makeup. I loved how well my hair held up all day and makeup! She even provided me with a touch up kit for the day.
My mom's makeup was also done by her, she did an amazing job! My mom loved her makeup and hair as well!

Booking appointment was easy through the website and I had a few artists respond to my query. I finally booked Nguyen Ha for makeup and hair for my maternity shoot. On the day before the photoshoot I got a call from Nguyen and she said she had an emergency the next day but she had asked Hanh Cao to replace her.
Firstly Hanh was very responsive through text message and I met her at the Sunnyvale studio. She was very friendly and kept me comfortable throughout. I wanted a light makeup and she did exactly how I envisioned myself. She pointed out which hairstyle suited me and the final result was

Nguyen and her assistant Jennifer were the hair and makeup team for myself, my mom, and my sister for my October wedding in Oakland. I love Nguyen's natural style! I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, so my first priority was making sure I was still recognizable to my fiance (while looking extra fabulous, of course). Nguyen and I did a trial in June and I sent her some early feedback. On my wedding day 4+ months later, she was ready with all the updates I was looking for (including a very different hairstyle)! I am so pleased with not only how talented Nguyen is, but also her kindness

Dantam did a beautiful job on my make up and hair for my wedding day. I received so many compliments. She was very sweet and friendly throughout the session. All my make up and hair held up throughout the night and they looked great in photos. I highly recommend Dantam if you are looking for an awesome MUA and hairstylist. Her assistant helped with my bridesmaids' hair and make-up. She also did a fantastic job. Everyone loved their final looks.

I hired Cherie for my wedding day hair and makeup and she was great! Starting with when I first reached out to her, she was prompt in her email responses and clear on pricing and services offered. She was also very flexible and patient with all of the changes we had to make due to COVID throughout the entire planning process.
On the day of the wedding Cherie and her assistants, Cindy and Jennifer, were punctual, prepared, friendly and attentive to all of our requests for the looks that we wanted. They did an amazing job and I'm so happy with how everyone's hair and makeup turned out!

Dantam and her assistant did my bridal hair and makeup and also did my bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone's makeup and hair turned out sooo amazing, I couldn't have pictured it better myself. Not only was the finished product so beautiful, but working with Dantam was so easy and she's so nice and friendly to work with!
I highly recommend hiring Dantam for your bridal hair and makeup - you won't regret it! See my photos for the proof :)

I hired Nguyen Ha (Group 5) to be my hair and makeup artist for my wedding day. Due to my pregnancy and covid, we never got a chance to do a trial but I was confident in her abilities and everything turned out perfectly for my wedding day.
We had to reschedule the wedding due to COVID and while Nguyen was able to fit us in on the new date, she asked for more deposit and informed me that the service rates had gone up by about 25%. Obviously, I was not happy about that (and A List was the only vendor that we booked pre-pandemic who changed their prices afterward) but despite the increase, her prices

Ngan is a delight to work with and incredibly talented. She was really accommodating and responsive when we needed to reschedule our wedding date multiple times due to the pandemic. Her work speaks for itself--I received numerous compliments on my trial and wedding day hair and makeup, including from a few unexpected sources. My mom was absolutely radiant with Ngan’s glow-up. Ngan is thoughtful and I was very impressed with her keen eye for detail and high bar. She made continuous adjustments for a flawless look and made sure we were completely happy with the result. She felt like a close friend

I had a great experience with Nguyen Ha doing my hair and makeup for my wedding this past weekend! I also did a trial run with Nguyen a couple months ago to decide on my preferred hair and makeup style. I always knew I wanted a half-up/half-down hair style, and not only did Nguyen know exactly what I was envisioning, she executed it perfectly too. For makeup, I wasn't as familiar with what I wanted, so Nguyen helped me to test out a natural makeup look. She was very accommodating as well, and upon me sharing that the false lashes we tried on during the trial felt a bit heavy for me, she said

I've used three ladies at A-List Makeup for various life events over the last 1.5 years (yeah, a lot has happened).
I originally selected Marilyn for my bridal hair and makeup for my wedding, so we did a bridal trial together. She did a great job on my hair and makeup and asked a lot of questions to make sure everything looked good.
Unfortunately she was unavailable when my photographer was able to do an engagement shoot, so I had Cherie for my photoshoot then. She was also really sweet and I loved her work as well!
We ended up canceling our wedding due to covid ;(, but I used our postponed

I did two hair and makeup trials with Dantam and she did my hair and makeup for both of my wedding ceremonies.
First, I have curly hair and did not want my hair straightened or blow dried, I wanted to keep it natural. Dantam did a great job not only preserving my curls, but also making me look and feel fantastic on both my trial days and my wedding days.
She was also extremely flexible with my (and my family's) requests day of, and helped pin in and readjust the flowers in my hair multiple times so I would get my look just right.
My second ceremony started at 10A, and she requested to

Finding the perfect hair and makeup artist for my wedding was one of the hardest part of the planning. I honestly thought I will never find someone that I can trust completely and not be scared of the result on the day of until I found A-List Makeup. Ann was wonderful from start to finish.
She was very responsive to all my emails, from the first one to in the months leading up to my wedding day. She and her team Jenny and Casey came to my hotel room in San Francisco, not only on time but even earlier . They had my hair & makeup, my bridesmaids, sisters and mom, and we had such a fun and stress

I've had my makeup done with a few A-List artists for various fashion photo shoots and for a wedding as a guest. Their work is wonderful! They were extremely prompt to answer inquiry emails and helped me decide on which hair and makeup looks would best enhance my existing features. They were also really accommodating to my needs and also do house-calls. I would highly suggest their services!! They made me look and feel so beautiful! Thanks A-List!

This review is for LilyAnn Nguyen.
LilyAnn is the sweetest, happiness, most energetic, easy going, flexible, and incredibly talented make up artist! I am so glad and grateful I chose LilyAnn as my makeup artist for my wedding day.
I'm a girl who almost never put on make up unless it was forced upon me for special occasions. My eyebrows are usually bushy, and I have no idea what foundation is. So when it comes to selecting a makeup artist for my special day, I was beyond clueless. My sister Teresa actually found LilyAnn on my behalf thru her coworker - Teresa loved her coworker's bridal makeup
