Deanna and Olivia were amazing! They were very professional and made me feel very comfortable on a day that I was extremely nervous. I'm not very versed in make-up and it was difficult to choose a hairstyle (the pressure!), but Melanie, Deanna, and Olivia made the process easier and it even felt like they were reading my mind! I had such a great time with them, I definitely recommend Blush.

My wedding was last month in Yosemite and I couldn’t be more happy to have worked with Melanie and her team at Blush. Melanie is amazing and made the process so easy from start to finish! We had the best time with these girls and couldn’t recommend them more!! Do yourself a favor and book Blush for your next event, you won’t regret it!!

Melanie did an absolutely amazing job with my hair styling and makeup for our adventure elopement! Due to covid, my elopement location changed three different times! Each location change Melanie was able to accommodate and left me worry free for the entire process!
If you are looking for hair styling and makeup application for an adventure elopement (or any kind of wedding) I strongly recommend Melanie at Blush. My makeup and hair styling lasted our entire adventure! I could not be happier with how everything turned out!
Pro tip: the groom add-on is sooo worth it! My husband loved it!

So we had to cancel our wedding due to COVID (after we already postponed once) and Melanie refused to refund our money. There were no services rendered to us mind you. This was an act of god and there was nothing on our contract stating that this would be a factor. This is completely bad business, dirty and unethical. She was trying to offer us product or classes instead of a refund. What a joke when we live in LA and she lives in Oakhurst. No I don't want any thing except our money back. $1000 down the drain.

Melanie and Amanda did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for my wedding, and on the hair and makeup for the bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom. Melanie did my hair and makeup, and I have never looked better. She also did the makeup for the bridesmaids and mother of the groom, and they looked gorgeous! Amanda is a complete whiz with hair, and did am amazing job on everyone's hair, even though the girls all had totally different types of hair (short, long, thin, thick, etc.) We were all super pleased with the results. Amanda also did the groom's hair, and he loved it.

Blush and Melanie were amazing! She was able to accommodate all of my requests, including an early start (4am!) and body make up to cover up scars on my back.
Melanie is exceptionally talented and I looked exactly as I had always envisioned.
She's also really nice, easy going and fun to to talk to and made the whole experience relaxing .
My hair and make up lasted over 18 hours and I was able to wear my backless dress without worry (something I have never been able to do). I cant thank Melanie enough for making me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day =)
Definitely consider Blush

With our wedding anniversary coming up (Sep 21st), it is finally time that I thank Melanie and team for makeup and hair on my special day last year! Melanie and team provided services for myself, sisters and the moms and grandma! The team was punctual and attentive! Melanie was flexible when I changed my hairstyle request the day off my wedding and my choice was nothing like what we had practiced and agreed upon in advance. Thank you!

I had a terrible experience with Melanie/Blush. I hired Melanie/Blush over a year before my wedding (last October 2018). I found her on Instagram and liked her work that I saw. Upon booking Melanie, I signed the required contract and gave the deposit. When I booked my hair trial, Melanie informed me that Amanda would be doing my trial and day of wedding hair. I thought Melanie was going to be my stylist but I was told Amanda would be. Nowhere in the contract or any of our correspondence did it say that I would have someone other than Melanie. This was the first of many issues where I

My experience with Blush was absolutely wonderful. I first contacted them LESS THAN ONE WEEK before my wedding, after realizing I couldn't do my own hair. Melanie was very responsive, prompt and professional. She was patient with me while I navigated her site, and was able to confirm a hair stylist for my bridesmaids and me, 2 days before my wedding. She didn't make me feel bad about such a last minute request; she took it in stride and made it happen quickly, easily, and efficiently, greatly decreasing my stress. Blush pricing is reasonable and very clear.

I first contacted Melissa at Yosemite Hair and Makeup just ten days before my wedding. I did originally have another company booked, but this fell through last minute. I am extremely lucky and grateful that Melissa was so accommodating and was able to find me both a hair stylist and a makeup artist on such short notice.
She assigned me Deanna as a MUA and Amanda as a hair stylist who kindly even managed to fit me in for trials just a few short days before the wedding.
Amanda was absolutely amazing - one of the most professional and fun people I've ever come across. She has such an admirable

Melanie did an amazing job with my hair and makeup at our Yosemite engagement shoot. She arrived all bright and cheery at 5:50AM, made me feel right at ease, listened to all my feedback and I came out looking like the princess I've always dreamed to be. The whole experience was fun and informative. She made sure to ask about my skin type, any sensitivities, and was very nice and helpful throughout. She also did my future mother-in-law's makeup and she loved it! Very professional with a lot of heart. I highly recommend Melanie of Blush!
