When looking for someone to do your hair and makeup remember one thing "ARE THEY LICENSED?" This is very important to remember! You would not go to a plumber to have surgery so don't go to just anyone for your Hair and Makeup. This is your day to shine! You don't want to be walking down the aisle with your hair falling out or makeup running off your face. Now with the internet this can be verified simply by checking with their name. Be sure not to make yourself a victim, be sure to ask to see their License. Only Licensed Cosmetologists can do both hair and makeup in Calif, only licensed Estheticians can legally do makeup, but not hair.

Department stores (makeup departments) do not charge you for this reason.
