“Kim was AMAZING from the time I met with her all the way through the wedding day!!!

I couldn’t have imagined a better make-up artist. My make-up was exactly what I wanted and she was so sweet and very communicative throughout the process. She also brought in Alli to assist with bridesmaid makeup and do my hair which also turned out exactly how I wanted. I couldn’t be any happier with the two of them.”

As well as some of our bridal party and my mother’s. She is wonderfully personable and kind and did a great job! Our lashes and makeup stayed put all day through lots of happy tears and runny noses!”

“Kim is thoughtful and kind, a great listener, a skilled artist, and wants to do whatever it takes to make you feel great on your big day.

She has you take skincare surveys ahead of time so she can work with you to make sure your skin is looking great on your big day. She also has great energy and is a fun person to have in the room while you're getting ready. I highly recommend Kim to anyone who wants to feel so so beautiful but still look like themselves. As Kim called it ‘bridal glam, but you!’”

Went there for my makeup trial and was so impressed with the staff, especially the lead stylist. They were friendly, creative and helpful. I love how they make you feel like they're just having fun while they do their job! They made me feel very comfortable and excited about my upcoming wedding, which is something that's really hard to do when it comes to taking pictures. I'm looking forward to trying more services at Willow Glen!

I had the best experience of all my makeup appointments! I was so happy with the results. Willow Glen was professional, efficient, and made me feel like a million bucks! They are also extremely affordable!

As a fellow wedding professional and event designer, it goes without saying that I had high expectations for all of my wedding vendors. After a long search for an amazing hair & makeup artist, I finally found Mayra and she met and went beyond all of my high expectations! It was important to me that the artist I selected understood my vision and was able to work on time (my biggest pet peeve as a wedding planner is hair & makeup artists who make a wedding day run late from the morning). During my trial with Mayra , she asked a lot of questions and really sought to understand exactly what I wanted, and what would work best with my skin type and face shape. I requested a "natural, but more" look, and Fiona delivered perfectly. She was also able to get me and my four bridesmaids ready on time so we had time to fit in all the pictures we wanted to take! Absolutely love how professional and lovely to work with Mayra was, and couldn't recommend her more highly.

I just want to say THANK YOU for the excellent service I received from you and your team. I had an appointment with you and another client on Saturday morning, and we both received exceptional service. My makeup was done perfectly, and my hair was colored beautifully. The other client was also very pleased with her hair color—she was at the salon for a whole day! I will definitely be recommending your services to others!

They were very professional, and I felt like they really knew what they were doing. My makeup was beautiful, and it lasted all day. The only thing I can think of that might have been better is that they didn't make me feel rushed—they gave me enough time to get ready, which is something I don't always get with other people who offer makeup services.
