LunaBella makeup & hair

I got married in the Santa Barbara area a few weeks ago and used LunaBella for my hair/makeup as well as my mom's and about 6 bridesmaids. Ashley was SO responsive throughout the planning process and responded to questions by email, sent me timelines to review, etc. Brittany did my hair and make-up and was AMAZING. We had 3 LunaBella girls there, including Ashley, and all of them were on time, friendly and amazingly talented. I have been a bridesmaid more times than I can count and honestly considered not offering hair and makeup to my 'maids because I have never been thrilled with hair and make-up for other weddings... but every single bridesmaid LOVED how she looked and they all look model gorgeous by the time Luna Bella was done with them! Two girls had said they would prefer to do their own and then changed their mind when they saw how pretty all the others looked, which Ashley accomodated gracefully and still finished everyone ontime! Even now as pictures are rolling in I'm noticing how beutiful everyone looks - glam hair, fabulous lashes and flawless skin. I can't recommend the LunaBella girls any more highly!

Ashley and Christin are an amazing team! They were so incredibly flexible and open to my ideas and with scheduling for my hair and make-up trial and on wedding day. They did hair and make-up for me, my mom, and my matron of honor, and we all looked amazing! They are so friendly and fun to be around too! I definitely recommend working with them to get your dream style for your wedding day!

Ashley and Christin were amazing!!! They are down-to-earth, awesome gals who are extremely talented! I LOVED how my hair and makeup turned out, and received soo many compliments! I highly recommend using them for your special day!!!!!

Ashley and Christin were the best! Using LunaBella for my makeup and hair for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made. Both of them are friendly and listen to what you want. They take your ideas and bring them to life. All of my bridesmaids and wedding party that got their hair and/or makeup done with them told me how great they were. My maid of honor came in the day of the wedding with huge, frizzy hair and the end result was smooth and sleek - just beautiful! My end result made me feel like a model. Best hair and makeup I've ever had done! Do yourself a favor and book LunaBella for your hair and makeup!

I met Ashley and Christin at a bridal fair in Santa Barbara...now that I think about it, they were the FIRST of all of our wedding vendors we met! Anyway, they were so sweet, and I liked their energy, and their quality of work. I have mixed hair (I am Black and Filipino) and am very particular of who does my hair because of so many bad experiences in the past; they were able to work with my hair and they did an excellent job!

On the day of the wedding, they were on time and EXTREMELY efficient! My bridesmaids looked beautiful and I was so happy with my makeup and hair that day! We had about 10 people doing hair and makeup and we were done AHEAD of schedule. They were extremely calm, laid back and in control...they are truly professionals and I am SO HAPPY with them. Overall I had an awesome experience!

They also travel with very reasonable travel fees...better than what I have seen out there. Our wedding was in San Clemente and we were able to workout a very reasonable travel for Ashley, Christin and their 2 assistants.

I loved my LunaBella experience!

Christin and her team did the hair and makeup for myself and my wedding party. I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out, everyone looked amazing. Christin was fantastic, she not only did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, but she was really great to have around those few hours leading up to my wedding. I could have easily have been a complete stress case and her and her team's energy really help to create a fun and stress-free environment in that time before I said, "I do".

Ashley and Cristian made me look and feel amazing on my wedding day! Their services were priceless to me. Their communication and professionalism were only outshined by their ability to do hair and makeup. My hair and make up held for the whole event and I couldnt be happier. These ladies come highly recommended!

The stylist assigned to me for my big day didn't show but Ashley and Kristen totally came through and redeemed themselves! My hair and make-up was amazing and I got so many compliments on what a gorgeous bride I was. Thank you ladies for all of your help and attentiveness!

Ashley did my make-up for my wedding and it was amazing!! I originally met with another artist and was going to go with her since my husband did not want to go to another make-up trial. I never felt 100% at ease with the first artist because although she did a good job, it wasn't great. I had spoken with Ashley on the phone for a consultation but since we just couldn't schedule a time for a trial, I forgot about her. When she emailed, to check and see if I still needed her services, I felt it was a sign. I decided to just go with her since I saw her work online and I knew she was talented. Thank God I made that last minute decision because she made my wedding make-up dreams come true! It was exactly what I had pictured and totally made my day! Ashley is super talented and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a makeup artist to go with Ashley!

I hired Luna Bella Make-up for my wedding in September and they were such a pleasure to work with! Ashley was the one I corresponded with the most and she was so helpful and always got back to me in a timely fashion. Our artists were Brooklyn and Manny for hair and Danielle for make-up. We enjoyed our time with them so much! They were so professional and fun and everyone was thrilled with their end results. Thank you, Luna Bella, for your hard work and dedication to making us all beautiful for my wedding day. Your contribution made all the difference in the world!

You couldn't go wrong with these two gals, they are not only professional, but fun!! They are quick and make things so easy. I forgot a piece for my hair at home and they instantly came up with a solution. They just made my day so easy.
thanks girls.

Ashley and Christin at LunaBella were an absolute delight to work with for my wedding. I could not have imagined a more calming hair and makeup experience! They are so truly talented and played an important part in what a blissful and relaxing day it was. The work Ashley does with makeup is such an art - I will always wonder just how she does it - and Christin was able to create the perfect updo by combining the pictures I brought in and my jumbled ideas about what I wanted. These girls are the best!!

Ashley and Christin at LBMA were lifesavers! I had no idea where to start with hair and makeup for myself or my wedding party and they were able to step in and take the lead. Not only were they flexible with payment (which, as we all know, is soooo helpful before a huge event like a wedding), but they were flexible with timing and my final look. LBMA allowed me to schedule my hair and makeup trial on the morning of my rehearsal dinner so I would look beautiful and feel my best at both events! I was astonished when I saw their work. I am not a girly girl that knows how to do makeup (or hair for that matter) but after my trial I was so elated that I had chosen this company for my wedding. My hair and makeup remained on all night for the rehearsal and looked great- even after copious amounts of wine. Also, all of the pictures of myself and my bridesmaids at the ceremony and reception show off the skills of LBMA because our hair and makeup were gorgeous throughout the event!

Ashley from Luna Bella was fabulous to work with. Booking was easy. I did no do a trial run and I loved the makeup she did for my wedding day! Bridesmaids and moms were very happy with her makeup as well! Thank you Ashley!!

I absolutely LOVE Ashley & Christin! They were so easy to work with and managed to squeeze my mother, sister & me in despite having another wedding the same day. My hair is curly & it is often difficult to find people I trust to style it, but I was in good hands considering how similar my hair is to Ashley's & Christin's. I didn't have time for a trial, so I sent pictures of a hair style and explained the type of make-up I wanted and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome!

They work well with one another and have a positive, calming energy that is exactly what every bride needs on her wedding day!

I felt so pretty on my wedding day and I have to thank LunaBella for that! They were very flexible even when the venue changed from Santa Barbara to the LA area! Thank you so much!

Leah was my make-up artist from LunaBella. She did my hair and make-up and I loved it. My hair and make-up looked great all night long.

Well, it's been about a month since our wedding, and the dust is settling but I would be extremely remiss before moving forward from the wedding without giving big time props to my artists at Luna Bella. Ashley and her partner were busy, so I was kind of worried about other girls doing my hair and make-up but Ashley assured me that the two girls who she would book would be fabulous. Being Japanese, Ashley thoughtfully hired a Japanese makeup artist from MAC, named Masami. Also she contracted Brookly to do my hair. I knew from my wedding trial day that I had nothing to worry about. They were extremely professional, fun, talented, on-time, and worked quickly. Yes! In a nutshell, they made me look fabulous and my photos turned out beautifully. Thank you LBMA. You ROCK!

Ashley and Christin did the most amazing, wonderful job on the hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. They listened to exactly what everyone wanted and proceeded to go above and beyond. All my girls looked incredibly beautiful and they made us all feel like a million bucks! So efficient and professional, and they are sooooo nice! I highly recommend them for your special day!!

Ashley and Christine were very sweet and they did a great job. I was very happy with everything.

I absolutely loved working with LBMA. They do fabulous work, and I was so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding. They are extremely flexible - they even traveled to San Francisco from Santa Barbara to do my hair/makeup trial. Not only do they do great work, but they are fantastic people - if you're going to spend 8 hours getting ready with a team of artists, these are the girls you want to go with. A big note was that they stayed on time - they actually worked faster than expected, and got done with 8 women (hair and makeup) with time to spare. Thank you LBMA!!

These girls are absolutely amazing! They are professional, genuine, fun, and very easy to communicate with (which can be difficult if you don't live nearby). They are very flexible and open to new ideas (I ended up changing my look completely on the actual day and they executed it with perfection). Ashley and Christin are true artists with great range of style. I honestly cannot recommend them enough.

Book these women as fast and as early as possible!!!!!!!! They are a total joy to work with and are incredibly flexible both on the day of and any advance work you may want done. (I did a trial and then I also decided pretty last minute that I wanted them to come over and do my hair/makeup the night before too!) I love, love, love them and you should feel lucky if you can get a spot in their line-up!

LunaBella's hair and make-up artists gave me exactly the look I wanted for my wedding! They worked with a variety of hair types and lengths, giving every member of my wedding party a beautiful and distinctive look. They were so flexible and accomodating, working around my very limited schedule to fit in a brief but very productive consultation before the big day. I highly recommend LunaBella!

The ladies of LunaBella Make-up Art are wonderful! They are professional yet personable, and I was absolutely thrilled with their work. Give them a call!

LunaBella made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day, and I didn't have to stress at all about how my hair and makeup would look that day. I have very high standards and LunaBella met them. I've had my makeup and hair done professionally elsewhere in the past, and it didn't even come close to LunaBella. These girls know what they're doing. You're in good hands!

Ashely and Christin by far are the best hair and make up team I have encountered in Santa Barbara County! From day one they responded to my inquiry for their services in a timely manner with extreme friendliness. From start to finish they always had my best interest and provided the appropriate suggestions for my BIG DAY. On my wedding day they made me relax by providing fun music to listen to and Christin made sure that my hair would stay put considering it was raining cats and dogs on that day. Ashley, listened to my request to have dramatic looking eyelashes and she made it happen. Throughout the day my make up and hair survived the rainy day, and guests complimented me on my make up and hair. Since then I have highly recommended them to other future brides and high school seniors for prom. They truly will make your special day unique and unforgettably beautiful ;)

Christin and Ashley, the ladies of LunaBella Make up Art, were fantastic. They did hair and make up for me, my mom, and my sister on my wedding day and we were thrilled with how we all looked. I am not a make up person at all and I was concerned that getting my make up done meant I wouldn't look like myself, but Christin and Ashley made me look both glamorous and natural. My mom, my sister, and I all have pretty different looks (despite being related) but Christin and Ashley were easily able to cater to each of our styles and play up our individual features. They were also very flexible, sweet, and relaxed; a total pleasure to have around on the big day. I couldn't recommend them enough!

I couldn't have asked for anyone better to do my hair and makeup. I had a tough time finding a vendor I could trust. I wanted my hair and makeup to be perfect! When I found Lunabella I was so happy. They took there time in helping me find the exact look I wanted for my wedding day. Not only did they make my hair and makeup perfect, but they did the same for my mother and bridesmaids. I highly recommend LunaBella for wedding hair and makeup!!!!

Ashley and Christin were wonderful! They did my hair and make-up as well as my Jr bridesmaids and my sisters (also bridesmaids).

They did a fantastic job with both my hair and make-up and it lasted all day! the only touch up I needed to do was blot powder to minimize shine from too much dancing. :-)

The only drawback was the pricing. The cost of the trial is higher than other vendors I spoke with, and the additional charges per person were also on the high side. I decided to stick with them anyway because I felt as though they really understood what look I wanted to achieve.

I would definitely use them again if I was in the area.

LBMA's Ashley and Christin did an awesome job for my bridesmaids and I! They listened to what I wanted and executed it wonderfully! (Even again when I changed my mind from going "glam" to "natural"- which they did both looks beautifully). I got hair extensions through them as well, and I loved it!. They really know what they're doing, and I would recommend them to anyone who wants their make-up professionally done. (I consider myself pretty picky too).
Another bonus on top of being good at what they do is their attitude- I had a morning wedding and they were there at 6 am bright and early with a smile; their demeanor helped keep me calm and less jittery! :)

I was a bride in from out of town, so I wasn't able to schedule a trial run before the wedding day. Instead, I worked with Leah via e-mail, sending her pictures of the dress, myself, and pictures that would help describe my vision of what I wanted for that day. They were on time (even a couple of minutes early), ran exactly on schedule while still being flexible enough to add more services to my sister on the spot. Everyone looked amazing!

Christin did an amazing job with hair...they were really easy and flexible to work with. I love that they travel to and from...makes it so much easier. They made the day very stress free and relaxing. Christin did I think 7 peoples hair in about 4-5 hours! Everyone looked gorgeous.
Another make up artist did a fabulous job as well!
Thanks so much!

These ladies have the unique ability of crawling inside your brian and producing your hair and makeup dreams... swoon. I have always been sooo pleased with the outcome of my hair and makeup. They are professional, fun, sweet and so creative.

The hair and makeup work that LBMA did for our wedding was absolutely stellar. Everybody looked so good, they listened to requests, had a lot of great ideas, and were super fun to be around.

My hair turned out perfect. THANK YOU!

Ashley and Christin did a great job with my wedding hair and makeup. They are very friendly and professional. Everybody was impressed with the results, even my Mom who had her hair and makeup done too and who is hard to please!

Ashley was so easy to work with and her and her team did an amazing job on myself and the entire bridal party. The makeup was exactly as I pictured it, super glam but natural colors, and it lasted pretty long. After dancing, though, my makeup was pretty much gone, so it disappeared in pictures from the last 2 hours. Loved working with them, and love their work!

I was very satisfied with the outcome of the services made by Lunabella during my wedding. My make-up was very natural, enhancing my assets and love my hair-up do. Ashley and Christine are very professional, truly they know their craft. Definitely, worth recommending to all future brides.

I was very unhappy with the services provided by Lunabella for my wedding on 9-10-11. After speaking with the 3 bridesmaids and 2 mothers who had their hair done, it was a consensus that no one was happy with the way their hair turned out, including myself. My hair did not look anything like the picture I had provided at our meeting the week prior to the wedding. The rest of the ladies' hair looked sloppy. Christin, Natalia and Celene arrived late. What is the most unprofessional was that I was assured by Ashely back in January (when I booked them) that she would do the makeup and Christin would be doing the hair. However, Ashley did the makeup at another wedding (see below) despite the fact that she had told me a week prior to my wedding that she would be doing my makeup. This is extremely unprofessional, especially considering that she waited until 2 days before my wedding at 4 in the afternoon to inform me of the change. Because of all this, I do NOT recommend Lunabella to other brides.

UPDATE
After I informed LunaBella of my experience, Ashley was prompt in responding and offered to reimburse me for some services. I would like to also add a comment on the makeup that was provided by Christin, which I neglected to mention before. She did a nice job with everyone's makeup- we all looked beautiful but natural. They even provided airbrush services because we were taking photographs outside. We were very happy with the makeup and I got lots of comments on how great everyone looked.

I can't stress enough how important professional make up is for any kind of photo shoot, much less weddings. All make up artists are not the same. It's super important to have someone that specializes in weddings and photo shoots. Weddings~ because your make up has to look great all day and thru the evening, thru hugs, laughter and tears. Plus a wedding specialist understands the importance of staying on the timeline. Critical for the flow of the day. Photography~ because different types of make up photographs differently. A make up artist that works with photographers knows how to blend to be sure your skin doesn't photograph to red or yellow. LunaBella are pros on all the above. It's a delight to work with them and sheer pleasure to photograph the women they work with.

I feel the same way about Luna Bella! They do amazing work and are always efficient and on schedule, which is important on your wedding day! They are also super fun to be around and makes the overall experience working together pleasurable and easygoing! All of my clients who have used them were more than happy with the results!!!
