On Location Hair and Makeup Artist

Lia was one of the best wedding vendors I worked with. She is a true professional and did a fantastic job from start to finish. Lia is so sweet and nice and made everyone feel so comfortable. I didn't do a trial and just went in with a few ideas, so I put my trust in Lia and let her go to work. She listened and gave me everything I wanted and some things I never expected. She did a beautiful job on my hair and makeup and it looked so good on camera. I wish Lia would come to my house and do my hair and makeup every day!

It was wonderful to work with On Location Hair & Makeup. From the initial contact, through my trial, and on my wedding day, Lia was such a delight and provided me with amazing results. She provided hair and makeup for myself, my two sisters, my mother, and my flower girl the day of my wedding. She did an amazing job on everyone! She is very talented and responsive to any of our questions, concerns, and desires for both our hair and makeup! I have never felt so confident in the way my makeup looked when getting it professionally done until I had it done through her! She made me feel so beautiful on not over-done at all. I personally don't wear a lot of makeup and never wear false lashes, and she provided me with more makeup and lashes than I typically wear but made it look so natural and flawless! My sister and my mother NEVER wear make-up and she was able to make them look so elegant on my wedding day without making them feel too different. When my sister felt it was too much during the process of putting it on, Lia scaled it back to an even more natural look to put her at ease. Everyone looked stunning. Lia is also so enjoyable to talk with, she felt like another family member in the room, which helped everyone keep the fun mood flowing on the big day! Everyone looked stunning in the photos too, meaning that her makeup lasted throughout the whole day and night!! She was always super professional, on time, and worked well within the amount of time given to her. I would highly recommend her for any of your make-up needs. I am just hoping that I have another reason soon to use her services!!

I loved loved loved Lia. My bridesmaid and I looked at several portfolios and Lia was one of the best. So, I got a price quote for me, my bridesmaids, and my mother for hair and/or make-up. Her prices came out to be the most reasonable, neither too expensive nor too low.
Lia and I were able to schedule a test run for make-up and hair, and she was great. The test run was also very affordable (unlike some of the salons and stylists that charge $125+). The final product on the day of the wedding was gorgeous. I don't wear much make-up regularly other than mascara, eyeliner, and blush. Even though I was wearing a lot of make-up, it looked so natural and beautiful. The pictures came out superb and I got dozens of compliments on my hair and make-up.
She also timed things perfectly from her arrival at our hotel room with all the bridesmaids, to doing 5 women's hair and 3 women's make-up. She is organized, efficient, precise, and creative. My bridesmaids looked amazing, my mom looked fresh and young. Everyone's make-up and hair was appropriate for their facial structure and tone. And Lia is so wonderful to work with. She even gave us little samples for touching up throughout the night. My hair lasted until I took it apart at the end of the night, even though it was incredibly windy. Finally, we stayed in contact throughout the year and she was so responsiveness. Lia is fabulous! (As a funny side note, I had a thick white hair in the back of my head, which I noticed well before the wedding. Lia noticed it too, but she didn't want to say anything because she was afraid it would stress me out. How sweet!)

There is only one word to describe Lia... AMAZING!!! Not just your average amazing... she is truly exceptional. Let me start off by saying I am beyond a perfectionist, so after doing hours of research I choose Lia based up her reviews and pictures from her website. I finalized my decision after I spoke with her over the phone - she is one of the most genuine and nicest people I have ever met. I was on a tight budget for my wedding, so I opted out of the pre-trial hair and makeup and decided to trust my instincts with Lia.

Just to give you an overview about myself... I am not the typical girly-girl. Sure I love to look pretty, but for me that means mascara (I have naturally blonde hair, so otherwise I look 8), and a little blush and chapstick (lipgloss if I REALLY want to step it up). I have had my makeup done at the mall in the past, and felt like a total clown when they are done (that being said, I was really nervous about how heavy the makeup would be for my wedding).

On the wedding day, Lia arrived and I could tell the morning was going to go great. She is so professional, but at the same time she makes you feel like you have been friends for years. She did my 5 bridesmaids hair (which all looked STUNNING - all the girls were shocked), as well as my hair and makeup. I was already self-conscious because I had a few breakouts arrive that morning - WTF, but Lia did wonders. I have never, EVER felt so beautiful in my entire life. The makeup was drastic enough to be perfect for the wedding, but her choice and technique looked so natural I couldn’t help but tear up when I saw myself. My hair was EXACTLY what I wanted (if not better), and I received so many complements (and people asking so they could book her for their wedding).

Please do yourself a favor and choose Lia!!!

I couldn't be happier with my experience with Lia!! My husband and I are from the Midwest and had a small destination wedding in Napa, CA. I found Lia online and I'm SO glad I did! She came to our hotel early the morning after we flew into San Francisco to do my hair and makeup trial. She asked me how I envisioned myself looking on my wedding day, and the whole time she was working she explained what she was doing and asked me about what I liked for color choices, etc. On our wedding day, she came to the bed and breakfast where we were holding our ceremony and did my hair and makeup there. I was SO happy with her work!! I got tons of compliments on how I looked that day. Lia is absolutely WONDERFUL at both hair and makeup!! She's such a sweetheart, and I had so much fun chatting with her! It is so helpful that she travels, too--since I'm not from the area, I think I would've had issues navigating my way through San Francisco! I looked exactly how I wanted to on my wedding day, and my husband loved it too. I wish Lia could do my hair and makeup everyday! :-) I HIGHLY recommend her to brides in the San Francisco area! Thank you so much, Lia!!!

I am extremely picky about paying for hair and make up. I do not like paying someone to do my hair when in the end i could have done it myself. I was extremely blessed when I discovered Lia. She worked with me for over a year because wedding, military and dates kept pushing the date back. Lia was patient and attentive through the entire process. I was blown away by my hair and makeup and we even made some last minute changes. She also did my mothers hair and makeup, which turned out amazing. The fact that i found someone who MY MOTHER AND I both loved... makes her priceless!

If there were 10 stars, I would give Lia 20! She was outstanding. Her work is flawless. She listened to what we wanted and did exactly that! She was flexible, professional, patient and kind. I would recommend Lia wholeheartedly.

Lia did a few of my bridesmaids hair and my hair for my January Wedding. She was so easy and an absolute pleasure to work with. I had two hair trial before her that were terrible. For my trial she came to my house. I had sent her some pictures prior to arival. She was so easy to talk to and was very laid back. I had a lot of girls change their mind constantly and she just went with the flow. The day o my wedding, I had decided to make a few changes to what we did at the trial. My hair came out exactly how I pictured it! I would work with lia again in a heartbeat!

An outstanding hair and makeup artist! My mom, bridesmaids and me got our hair and makeup done by Lia and we got countless compliments all night long.

Lia was amazing! She was so professional, she didn't get offended if anyone asked her to make adjustment, she had a warm smile the whole time and really made us feel special and beautiful. Highly recommend!! Thank you Lia...you made me feel like a gorgeous bride!

Lia did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I have never felt as beautiful as I did that day. I told her exactly what I wanted and she gave it to me! It was so easy! She was quick but careful and she did an amazing job. She is so easy going and she was open to all of my preferences. She did not push me toward a look I did not want which I really appreciated. She definitely made sure I was happy with the end result. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a professional hair and makeup artist with a ton of talent and a sweet personality. She will transform you! The best part was seeing my husband's face as I walked down the aisle. He was blown away! Thank you, Lia!

Lia was so wonderful. She responded to every email, call and text quickly, and her calm and professional demeanor really helped me and my bridesmaids stay calm and truly enjoy the morning of my wedding. She did such an amazing job on my hair and make-up. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and make-up artist on the day I needed to look my best.

She is great, understanding, flexible and made my hair and make up at my wedding perfect.

There was a pleasure to meet Lia. I'm very happy with her work. she did my wedding makeup and hair, she's very nice,profesional and responsible. (all the time she makes me feel secure and calm.) THANK'S AGAIN LIA.

We absolutely love Lia and her beautiful work! After several disappointing trials we found Lia. She really knows what she is doing and knows how to listen and create the look you want. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the makeup lasted the entire night, even through the tears! No touch ups needed! My hair was perfect and exactly what I described. She worked well with my slightly difficult 91 year old grandmother and did three different looks just to make her happy. She worked well with the videographer and photographer. She also had a great, calm energy and helped us relax. She is very professional and uses quality products. I wish I had another event just so I could have her do my hair and makeup again!

Lia!!!! She is so awesome, sweet, and just the BEST at what she does!! Lia did my makeup and hair for trial and on the day of the wedding and I can't tell you just how many guests came up to me and complimented me on the beautiful work Lia did on me, my mom, and my bridesmaids~~ She is a true artist and has a fabulous personality!! I would recommend her to any bride who wants to look their very BEST on the most important of their lives!!! =) thanks Lia!! you are super awesome!

Lia was exactly what a bride and her bridal party needed. She came on time, she set up, and she was helpful to all of my bridesmaids who wanted her opinion on hairstyles. Lia was great at chatting everyone up while they were getting their hair and makeup done!

Not only was Lia super sweet, but her hairstyles were a big hit with my bridesmaids. I could not have asked for a better stylist!

Lia was wonderful! She was accommodating and very reasonably priced for our small budgets! She was very professional and we all looked beautiful when she was finished with us (we loved the fake eyelashes!)! We will definitely use her again! Thanks Lia!

It was such a pleasure to have Lia come to our house on my wedding day and do my hair and makeup plus my wedding parties. She did a fabulous job. We all looked stunning. Having Lia come to house made the whole day easy and stress free. It was well worth the cost rather than driving around the city and dealing with parking and other difficulties on a day when the least stress is best. You will not be disappointed by Lia!

Lia did a fantastic job, with my hair and makeup for my entire wedding party, flowergirls included! I love the fact that she listened to what "I wanted" and that she would make suggestions if I was unsure. Her hair and makeup skills are flawless!! Lia I cannot thank you enough for the services you provided for my wedding day! I would definitely recommend you to others!! Yours Truly Anna (SEPT 18 2010)

Lia did an AMAZING job on my hair and make-up. I would definitely recommend her. She listened to what I wanted and responded well to my feedback. She delivered the end result perfectly.

Lia is a talented hair and make-up artist. I LOVED how I looked on my wedding day. I found Lia online and contacted her based on her bio and the pics she posted of other brides she had done. She was quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I met her about a month later for a trial run. I brought in a picture to give her an idea of what kind of make-up I wanted, but I wasn't sure about my hair. She was friendly, creative, and professional. My look ended up being old "Hollywood Glamour" which was perfect for my special day!
One of Lia's greatest assests is that she does BOTH hair and make-up, and she does them both very well. I live in Los Angeles and I could NOT find anyone who was willing to travel (120 miles to my wedding location) and do both hair and make-up. I highly reccommend Lia for your wedding day!

Lia was responsive to my desires and concerns, and was able to achieve my bridal look in a timely manner while also helping out my mom and maid of honor with their final looks. The airbrush method used for my makeup, as well as my hairstyle and eyelashes lasted all day and night. She was responsive throughout the whole process and used only the best quality products on my face and hair...

I am so happy that I found Lia!!! She did an amazing job on both my hair and makeup. She is very professional and such an amazing lady, it was a pleasure meeting her and I highly recommend her!

If I could give more starts to Lia I would! Lia has amazing talent for hair and makeup. She works efficiently and fast, her work is impecable and she is really fun and easy to work with. She can get along with anyone and make you feel so beautiful and special. There was never an awkward moment with her, she felt like a friend she made me feel comfortable to tell her exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I have had my makeup and hair done by others and was never satisfied or happy with the results. Lia however, listened to what I wanted and truly made me feel extra special and beautiful. I would recommed Lia to anyone for any occasion she will blow you away on how great she can make you look! Thanks Lia you are amazing! Book her now!!!

Lia's services were outstanding, she came thru with how I described I wanted to look for my Wedding day! I was able to really relax knowing that she was a complete perfectionist and would replicate the hair and makeup that we had agreed on at my trial. Lia really understood that I was not usually a heavy make up wearer, so created a look that was more "fresh & natural" looking.I was very pleased with the overall result.
Thank You Lia!

I would highly recommend Lia! I first met with her for my trial session and my planner and my friend loved my hairstlye and airbrush makeup. It was gorgeous. Lia made me look very natural for the wedding day which was very important to me. On the day of the wedding Lia did hair and makeup for my mother, my sister, myself and one of my bridesmaids makeup. We all looked great and received many compliments. On the morning of my wedding I was extremely anxious and uneasy. Lia arrived at the hotel on time to set up and was very common and easy to talk to. While she worked on my mothers hair we talked and she was able to calm me down and get me in the right mind frame! Thanks Lia for being so wonderful and calming my nerves before my big day! I was so pleased with the way I looked and can't wait to see the professional photos.

She was wonderful!!!!!!! Very friendly, and she did a great job on my hair and make up.

Lia went above and beyond for my wedding. She brought her sister to help do hair and makeup since I had a larger bridal party. She was kind, patient, and very calming on my wedding day. She did exactly what I wanted for my hairstyle and her makeup job was outstanding! It lasted the entire day and night!!! I highly recommend her for any wedding. She is one of the best!

Lia is awesome!

Lia is great to work with! She's professional, accommodating, sincere, and skilled in her art. Lisa, the bride who hired both of us, was elegant and beautiful on her wedding day - all of which showed well on camera.

Lia does amazing work on her brides- from makeup to hair. I also want to personally thank her SO MUCh for being there for me and sticking by me to helping me when I asked for advise for hair and or makeup. She believed in me and told me not to give up when brides got me down. I haven't met her but we became friends while we were in FL. I moved back home to NY and she moved back home to CA. We kept the communication and friendship still going. She is a very caring person.

By her advise and support she had for me, I thank her so much for making me become a good stylist and makeup artist.

Lia is very talented and is a good listener to what people want for their special day.

If you are in the San Francisco area, Lia is the person you need to call. She does awesome work.
