    Beautiful Bridal Hair and Makeup!

    From our first phone call consultation to the wedding day, Lisa was so fun to work with! She listened to my ideas and concerns from the get-go and did a really gorgeous trial run in April. She gave me some skin care tips to ensure we could achieve the look I wanted, and gave me notes for my hair stylist to make sure everything was perfect on my wedding day. The day of the wedding she was punctual and created a very relaxed atmosphere. She was fun to chat with and was very efficient with her time. Most of all, I appreciated that I still felt like me -and very comfortable in my skin - after a full face makeup application. I LOVED the final look and it LASTED. I have very thick, heavy, long hair and had it up in an updo. I danced for hours and not a single hair came out of place, and there wasn’t a trace of smudged eye makeup. I have no idea how she did it, but Lisa works miracles.

    Amazing experience

    I had an amazing experience working with Lisa on my wedding day. She is incredibly sweet and has a calming presence. She did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup. She listened to exactly what I wanted for my wedding day, and the final look was exactly what I wanted. I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Lisa. Would highly recommend Lisa for wedding hair and make up.

    Amazing Wedding Hair

    She did such a great job on my half up half down look with a hair piece and extensions! I’m so glad I found her last minute when my hair stylist flaked. She was so great and I wish I would have found her first! Thanks again.

    Phenomenal Service

    I am a wedding Florist and I have known Lisa for over 15 years. When it was time for my wedding 3/16/20 in Santa Barbara I knew I had to reach out immediately.

    She is fun, excited for you and has a huge amount of positive energy making you feel like you are in the best hands. She reviewed all of my images and we decided on the perfect look.

    The morning of the wedding, she was so calm, focused and communicated the whole process of what she was doing. Her timing was impeccable so I never worried if I was on time.

    I used her extended service for touch ups during ceremony and photos. WOW! Thank goodness!!!!! She carried my train, helped the photographer get me into positions, fixed my hair, touched up the make up as I was a crier. She even put a hotel towel over me as I was drinking red wine before the ceremony. As I began to stress over the corona virus she said NO you are getting married and it is your turn. Stop, you are beautiful and it is your day. She made me smile and breathe.

    I also used her for grooming services for all the men in the wedding party. What a difference that made, my groom is bald and took care of all of his shine, my son has acne and she made all of that disappear and perfect for photos.

    Since I had a super small wedding she even got all of the men in position at the ceremony, guests seated and fluffed my wedding dress and got me down the aisle.

    Trust your vendors! I truly trusted Lisa Teller to put something so important and fragile in her hands. You must use Lisa for all of her services it is so worth it!!

    Wonderful!

    I really enjoyed working with Lisa. I was interested in natural, understated hair/makeup for my wedding day. Lisa listened to my preferences and executed exactly what I had in mind. I highly recommend Lisa!

    Truly awesome!

    Lisa was incredible! She did the make-up at my best friend's wedding, and luckily she was still available to provide make-up services for my wedding day too.

    My experience with Lisa was great. I wanted a natural but enhanced look for my wedding day make-up, and I wanted air brush makeup. During my consultation, Lisa asked me a lot of questions about my preferences and experimented with colors to help me find the look I wanted. She was very patient and professional. I loved my make-up on my wedding day, and all of my bridesmaids looked beautiful! Thank you to Lisa and her assistant!

    Simply the Best!

    I feel so lucky to to have had Lisa Teller and her assistant work with me and my ladies on my wedding day! Lisa is incredibly talented, has great energy and super prompt with communication. She listens and asks questions about venue, dress and bridesmaids colors knew exactly what I wanted - a true professional! Cannot say enough great things about Lisa!

    10/10! Lisa is stellar! :)

    I cannot express enough the value of a professional artist who is skilled and also calm! :) Lisa is a true professional and knows her stuff! I have never had professional make up for an event so I was very hesitant and worried I would not feel like myself or look like a different person! Lisa was able to incorporate the exact natural look I wanted and I absolutely felt like me! I felt that my natural features were enhanced and not caked over in product.

    Personality and professionalism are also key. You spend almost all day with your hair & make up artist (and your photographer/videographer) so it is really important that you gel. Lisa did my make up for my wedding and I appreciated her level headed and calm personality on a busy day! The last thing you want on a big event day is a vendor who adds more stress! Lisa works hard to help keep you calm and stress free and is a pleasure to spend the day with! :)

    Lastly I had no idea how helpful Lisa's extended services would be! Lisa stayed during the photos and up until the ceremony. Flowers are HEAVY and I was so grateful to have Lisa there to help hold them in between shots as well as carry my dress and get me set up for shots! My bridesmaids were helpful but they are also carrying bouquets/traversing in heels and have their own dresses so it was super helpful to have a dedicated person outside of the party to help! :)

    Wedding makeup was perfect!

    Lisa did an amazing job with my wedding makeup! I really appreciated her expertise and friendly demeanor during the trial and the day of. She exceeded my expectations and gave me the natural look I was hoping for (but enhanced it perfectly). She also did makeup for my bridesmaids and everyone was happy with the results! Lisa was open to our feedback, but we trusted her opinion and experience to get the job done right. The makeup stayed on perfectly for hours and I felt confident all day. I highly recommend her and would hire her again for future occasions.

    Made us divine in record time

    Lisa was so great to work with. I'm not a big makeup person and neither were any of my bridesmaids, so we kind of let Lisa take the lead and it turned out great. She came to us in our hotel room and worked with the area we gave her. it was a very relaxed and fun morning, very low stress. The makeup did its job and lasted the whole day with no touchups, which i made clear i would not be doing so she planned accordingly. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Lisa teller is excellent!

    Lisa Teller was the make up artist at my wedding and she was phenomenal! From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be great. My make up and my bridesmaids make up was stunning. Lisa was very organized and easy to work with.

    What is also a HUGE perk is that I hired Lisa for touch up services. She was so organized she helped me get into my dress, steamed all my bridesmaid's dresses and more. She really put me at ease at a very stressful time.

    Lisa goes above and beyond in her work and you will not be disappointed in hiring her for your big day.

    Talented!!

    I wish I could do 10 stars! I can’t say enough good things about Lisa! I hired her to do makeup for my engagement photos and wedding day, and she also did make-up for my bridesmaids and the mothers of the bride and groom. I also did a trial. She truly made me feel like a movie star. I got so many compliments! She and her assistant came to the hotel suite where we were getting ready; it was nice that we did not have to travel anywhere other than the venue! I also hired her to come to the venue for touch-ups up until the reception. It was 100 degrees on the day of my wedding, so I and my bridesmaids were so happy to have her touch up our faces, lips, etc. before the ceremony, photos and reception. She also did touch-ups for my groom, and I highly recommend this. He tends to get flushed easily, and she was able to touch him up so the red wouldn’t show in pictures.

    Lisa is professional, easy to work with, responsive and talented! All of these were very important to me when hiring my wedding vendors. If you want to look incredible on your wedding day, I highly recommend Lisa! I will definitely hire her in the future for family photos and any other special occasions that I want makeup done.

    Lisa and her assistant were amazing! They were responsive, flexible, and so professional. Everybody who had hair or make-up done by them were impressed and said that they really enjoyed spending time with them. They definitely helped us look and feel our best on my big day! I highly recommend Lisa!

    From the moment I met Lisa, I knew she was going to be the perfect fit for doing the makeup for my wedding. To get started, she asked a lot of questions about my hair, dress, and my vision to ensure that the look she put together would match everything perfectly. She also made sure that it would coincide with how I wear my makeup everyday so that on the day of the wedding, I wouldn't look like a completely different person. On the day of my wedding, I couldn't have been happier with the results - Lisa is amazing! I also used the touch up services that Lisa offers on the day of the wedding. She was instrumental in making sure that my makeup and hair stayed fresh, that my dress was appropriately poofed at all times for the pictures, and that both me and my bridal party looked our best for photos. I would highly recommend her touch up services. I also used Lisa for my engagement photos - she did both my hair and makeup and the pictures turned out great. It was also a great way for us to get to know each other before the wedding. If you're looking for a makeup person, honestly, you need to look no further. Lisa is awesome.

    Lisa is a pro make-up artist. I hired her very last minute to do make-up for my wedding. She was very organized, getting in contact with the hairstylist to put together a timeline for the big day. On the day of, she was very friendly and encouraging. She made everyone feel and look beautiful! I highly recommend her.

    Lisa was recommended by my florist. We had a great florist, so I knew she only recommends the best! Lisa is fantastic for a natural flawless look! I am not used to having my make up done and she made me feel very comfortable. We had a great trial session and she was very communicative throughout the process! The day of the wedding Lisa was prompt and brought all her supplies, she was very neat too! I loved how all of my bridesmaid, the my mother and grooms mothers make up looked very natural and lasted all day!! Definitely an amazing experience!

    Lisa is an extremely talented make-up artist. Backstory: I've had my make-up done many times as a bridesmaid in other weddings and I was always unhappy with the outcome. You can imagine I had some anxiety about choosing a MUA for my own wedding! I did a trial elsewhere and once again, the MUA couldn't really translate what I was asking for onto my face. THEN, I found LISA :-) At my trial, she was so attentive to my needs and really took the time to explain different styles to me. Together, we looked through Pinterest and she also asked to see photos of my previous experiences with professional make-up that left me unsatisfied. We talked about what I disliked, etc. I put my trust into Lisa in that trial and was SO HAPPY with the outcome. She was able to perfectly capture the more "natural" make-up I wanted, while still elevating the overall look since it was for my wedding after all! The make-up lasted perfectly all night. In fact, one of my favorite pictures from the day is a selfie my husband and I took when we arrived back at the hotel at midnight (over 12 hours of make-up wear) and I still look great! (Even after hours of dancing and breaking a sweat!). Lisa is very talented and her kind demeanor make her such a joy to work with. The most calm moment of the day was my time in Lisa's make-up chair!

    I am so happy that I hired Lisa for wedding makeup for myself and my bridesmaids! I heard another bride give her a glowing review when I was meeting with my florist, so I went ahead and booked her services right away - and I'm really happy I did.

    Lisa and her assistant did makeup for myself, my mom, and 8 bridesmaids. During my makeup trial, she listened to exactly what I wanted, and helped guide me a lot. I wasn't quite sure what would look good on me or how to verbalize what I wanted, but based on what I said and my inspiration pictures, she did an amazing job. Wedding day she arrived right on time, and did all the girls' makeup in a super timely manner - everyone was ahead of schedule! Everyone loved their makeup and mine looked amazing! I would highly recommend her for any other brides!

    Lisa was a fabulous makeup artist! From the trial to the day of, she kept great communication, and really listened to what I wanted for the big day. Lisa was very knowledgeable, and really took her time doing our makeup. She also gave some skin care recommendations that really helped my skin looked nicer and more clear! My bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, I would highly recommend Lisa to anyone needing professional makeup services :)

    Lisa is wonderful! Fantastic communication, friendly, and amazing professional skills. Lisa is flexible, and worked around my schedule to come to my house for a trial run. She asked me many questions about the type of skincare and make-up I currently use, and listened intently to what I had in mind for my wedding day. We looked at pictures and narrowed down my selections until we came up with the perfect hairstyle. On my wedding day, Lisa arrived promptly and kept the morning running smoothly, as she and her assistant completed hair and make-up for myself and my mother, and make-up for three bridesmaids. They worked efficiently, and listened to everyone's personal preferences. We were all extremely pleased, and feeling confident and beautiful when they were finished. Lisa helped make my day even more special!

    Lisa was simply incredible. Such a talented woman! She took so much time to ensure that she knew what kind of look I was going for on my big day. I felt from the first email exchange that I was being heard, and I very happily put my full trust in her, which brought such a sense of peace on my big day. My girls all looked stunning! Not overdone, but simply beautiful, elevated versions of themselves. I was obsessed with how she did my makeup. I didn't feel like a clown, I didn't feel like I was wearing a pound of makeup. Lisa took my best features and took them to the next level. Not to mention she is warm, funny and extremely professional. She arrived on time (to a venue 2 hours away nonetheless) and she stuck around to make sure she could touch me up. I would recommend her a million times over.

    I booked Lisa for my wedding and I could not have been more pleased! My wedding was two days after Christmas. Lisa showed up at my house with two other makeup artists at 7am. She made the whole process so easy and was so helpful! She was my Katherine Heigl for the day (from 27 dresses) fixed my veil and dress when needed. Even kept me warm because I had a strapless dress in December! She also stayed after the ceremony to re-touch my makeup. I could not have been more happy to have her there. If you truly want someone who cares, is kind and can do it all book with Lisa you will not be disappointed! Not to mention she made all of my 8 bridesmaids, my mom, and mother in-law look amazing including me. We had a fantastic day partly because she was so helpful! Thanks Lisa for all of your help we truly appreciate it!

    If you're looking for a natural but flawless glow, Lisa is your girl. You won't find a more qualified makeup artist in SF or any part of the bay- plus she is reasonably priced (SF MUAs are good but over the top pricey!) and puts your happiness and comfort as her top priority. Lisa brings out your natural beauty so you still look like yourself! My airbrush makeup felt super light, lasted all night- and she totally understood what I wanted in terms of color. Cannot say enough good things. If you don't book her, you're nuts!

Her prices are very reasonable and she traveled to my location in Morgan Hill, both for a trial and for the wedding. I highly recommend Lisa. She is trustworthy, easy to work with, has great ideas and concepts of color, etc. If I ever need her Services again, I will not hesitate to use her!

    Wedding hair, makeup, lashes, travel to my location - $500

    My mother & Aunt used her, as well, and loved their looks!

    Lisa listened to all my preferences and what I didn't want for makeup right from the get-go at the consultation. She took into consideration of my vision, my dress, my hair, venue, and the time of day of the event. Lisa is easy to contact and responds promptly. She made everything so easy and simple which was a relief when you're making countless decisions for the wedding already. Lisa was on time the day of the event and finished at the time we planned. She made my wedding party picture ready while still being natural and staying true to their own style, especially for the ones that normally wear little to no makeup. I opted for more dramatic makeup for the night and she still pulled it off to make it look natural. Lisa knows her stuff and that's obvious because all of our makeup stayed put throughout the night, even through unexpected tears! Lisa made my special day even more special and we all had tons of fun.
