Unique and Flawless

I would highly recommend Andrea and her team! I had a very pleasant experience!
After searching high and low, for a decent makeup artist who would not charge a lot, I found Andrea, and immediately contacted her for a trial. She was very patient and accommodating to my needs (I am very picky). She did everything I asked her, and I loved my makeup! I got so many complements, and it lasted throughout the day!

Worked with Andrea for the 1^st time after my bride found her and from a planner-​perspective, she was a dream. Professional, communicative, caring, on-​time. She was very efficient I was told by the girls, getting through everyone in a timely manner and doing an awesome job. Bride was going to do her own makeup but then after Andrea did all the girls, she decided to have her do it and was so thrilled. She was able to do airbrush or non-​airbrush and literally EVERY single girl was so happy with her work. She is just so sweet too and works so diligently and has such a passion. A great makeup artist! — written from Paige with Bliss Events

Andrea did my wedding and we knew that she was the one for us after our trial session. She explained everything she was doing and listened to our feedback. I don’t wear a lot of makeup so I felt uncomfortable at first, but then she made me feel beautiful and excited for my wedding day.
I didn’t know Andrea prior to hiring her for the wedding. If you’re not sure of who to choose, know that when you’re considering Andrea, she’ll be someone that’s dependable, flexible, comforting, and affordable. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Thanks, Andrea!

I found Andrea through the site Thumbtack. She is very good at what she does. I had her do my wedding day. My makeup and hair was amazing. My maid of honor was very impressed with how comfortable her fake eyelashes felt even with her glasses on. Make sure you set up a firm schedule. Things get really chaotic the day of and I just hadn’t gotten the times nailed down but everything was still amazing. I would definitely recommend Andrea and her team they are great people who really care about there work.

I needed hair and makeup done for a military homecoming and came across uniqueandflawless via Craigslist. At first I was hesitant but reached out anyway. The fast response and reasonable prices made me feel comfortable enough to book an appointment. Best decision I’ve made!!! My makeup looked flawless and my hair was beautiful! Andrea made me feel so comfortable and let me know what she was doing every step of the way. I was worried my makeup would look overdone for the occasion but I was wrong, it was perfect! Subtle and beautiful! Look no further, Andrea is the girl to see for your hair and makeup needs.

Broke agreement! When doing trial makeup at her home, we told her mother of bride was decorating venue and would be over to hotel for makeup about noon. She said that would work. At 10:30 am I get phone call that she is leaving soon. I live an hour from venue, so no way I could get there asap. She said she had booked someone else at noon and could not wait. The bridal party was not happy with their makeup and had to re do some of it. Because I wasn’t there to pay for bride, friends had to come up with $$ to pay for her. she charged for lashes even on ones who didnt get them, and raised fee on price of bride, and bitched that bride was $ 5 short until one bridesmaid called husband to bring money. Totally unprofessional. Thankfully, the bridesmaids did mother of bride’s makeup, and it turned out far better than the trial makeup at Andrea’s home! Would never recommend her! Even the hairdresser there could not believe the way she treated bridal party and mother of bride. I paid $ 50 for trial makeup, and then she bails on wedding day :/

Andrea did my hair and makeup for my May 2015 wedding and I couldn’t have been happier! I’m a bride in my 40’s and practically everyone at our wedding (close to 200 people) told me I had never looked more beautiful! In looking at the photos also of my wedding day, I could not agree more. Andrea has a real gift for enhancing a woman’s natural beauty!
I found Andrea on-​line several months before my wedding and had her come to my house so we could try out a ‘trial run’ of different looks for my hair and makeup. She suggested great ideas and listened to my requests and preferences and I LOVED the result! I wanted to shop for some hair/​veil accessories and she met me one day during my lunch hour and helped me find the perfect ones. When the day of my wedding arrived, Andrea was at my house right on time, and even though months had elapsed since my ‘trial run’ she had taken notes and photos, and remembered everything we had done and even had brought some new items that she thought would work better, and she was right! Andrea has a very positive, happy attitude about life and I felt very calm, and in great hands, being in her presence which really helped set the stage for a perfect wedding day.
Andrea is a beautiful person, inside and out, and very talented with hair and makeup. Also, a friend of mine subsequently had Andrea for her wedding and bridal party and also loved her. I HIGHLY recommend Andrea and Unique and Flawless!

Andrea and her assistant did airbrush makeup for my whole bridal party and my hair and makeup as well. She was wonderful at listening to my requests and we all loved our makeup. She even corrected my airbrush when it came out too dark at first. I went to the bathroom to look at the finished product and it wasn’t very blended and the color was off. I came back and asked her to lighten it and she did to where it looked great! I would advise future clients, don’t be afraid to communicate what you like or don’t like, it’s your wedding, and she’s very understanding and friendly! Don’t take the chance of regretting your makeup because you didn’t ask her to fix what you didn’t like! Overall, wonderful experience with Andrea, and she did my wedding the week after giving birth to a baby! What a trooper :)

I will start out by saying that I really did like Andrea as a person. She was very sweet and we got along well. I got a free hair and makeup trial from her because of an Instagram contest and the makeup and hair was done very well! I was pleased with what I saw so I decided to go ahead and book her several days later. She said I would need to pay a deposit for the booking plus provide her with the address and phone number of where I was getting married. I sent her the requested information and paid the deposit over the phone using her Square account. This was February 20^th. I e-​mailed her on March 5^th (10 days before the wedding) to let her know that I had found out that I was not allowed to be on the venue premesis until 10:00 in the morning (my wedding ceremony started at 11AM) and provided the name and address of a hotel we were going to be staying at. I even inlcuded a snapshot of the reservation confirmation. She said she would be there. Fast forward to the day of the wedding. She called me that the driveway was confusing and wasn’t sure where she was supposed to go. She had gone to the wrong venue. She asked me if I could text her the correct address which I did immediately. She got to the hotel about a half hour behind schedule and started on my hair then makeup. She swears she apologized but I really don’t recall getting an apology at the time. My hair was done beautifully but the curl completely fell out by the time I got to the ceremony. She also made the face makeup too dark so it was very spotty and weird. My eye makeup was pretty though.
All in all, I was really sad by this part of my wedding. I know people think you shouldn’t sweat the little things, but all I have is dread and regret about the makeup part of the wedding. Everytime I think about it, it makes me upset and I wish I would have had someone else do it because I feel I didn’t look my best for my big day. I see that others had a very positive experience, and while that is great, I did not have a positive experience and just wanted to share what happened.

Andrea was fantastic! I’m so glad that my bridesmaids and I got our makeup and hair done by her. I thought her prices were reasonable and the airbrush makeup looked fantastic. I’m so happy I found her!

**Update***
Andrea, Your work is good! I never denied that! It’s your business practice. You deceived me and lied and led me to believe something that you knew was not so but never clarified me. This is where my argument and position stands. You had many chances to correct me if I was wrong but chose not too and your contract is proof.
Future clients just be sure to read between the lines and ask lots of questions when it comes to your contract with Andrea. Make sure she itemizes costs and prices on the contract to everything! Even the trials and services done beforehand. Would not want anyone to have the same experience I did! I am new to reviewing on Unilocal and wanted to give my side on this service. Sorry that I didn’t know how to properly update a review.

Andrea is a deceiver! Her business side is very unprofessional and unclear. If I was misunderstanding something she let me continue to believe I was right. Therefore causing so much confusion when it came time to payment. After numerous texts where she could have clarified me she failed to do so. Which is why it’s shocking to hear I was trying to get free services from her. That is untrue! I do not assume to stoop anyone out of $ and get anything for free. I clearly thought the trial was a deposit and that if we chose to go with her that deposit would be applied towards the balance. When I told her to apply my deposit towards the total balance she replied «sounds good» plus her contract reads as such! Anyone would then question why the bill is more if the contract reads the way the facts were… She got a deposit, it was applied and my ending balance was accurately read the way the facts were which is why I signed and agreed. So why now is it double? The contract that regardless of her signature is legal because she sent me that contract!!! This was her contract!!!
I will gladly pay for my services plus more to anyone who is upfront and honest. She was anything but! I am only asking her to amend what is the right thing to do and follow through with her contract which reads differently than how she claims it is intended to be read. I have put in a dispute for the amount overcharged to me only. I agree to her services and will pay for what she did but it’s her fault the confusion was created and I will not pay for her mistake! She is a bad business person to work with but her services and team were okay. After this though, I will never use her again and I am sure the feeling is mutual.

I was looking for someone to do my makeup within a 6 days notice! Luckily I found Andrea on Instagram from the moment I saw her work I loved it!
I called her right away and she was able to add me to do my hair and makeup on Valentine’s morning. I was in relief when I found out that she would be able to complete this for me. Since it’s hard to find someone on such a short notice.
Saturday morning came and I was a little scared because it was in such a short time that I didn’t know what to expect.
From the minute she opened up the door to her house I felt so welcomed. As soon as she started doing my makeup I felt so relaxed and like she was in total control of everything. I told her that my dress was going to be a royal blue color that way she could work with those colors in the mix. She was so nice and sweet and she spoke Spanish. Now I don’t know about you but for me it’s that much more important and relieving when you find someone that knows how to speak your native language. It creates such a leisure environment!
She told me all the products that she was putting on my face which was always nice to know. She asked me what falsies I wanted and she told me which ones best suited my face.
Now I’ve never had airbrush makeup but I absolutely loved it! It was nice to have a different setting of makeup.
I was a little worried because I’m not used to wearing so much makeup! I didn’t know what the outcome would be if it would be too much or if I would look too fake.
But at the end of all this I fell in love with how she did my make up. It was perfect for the day and it lasted me throughout the whole night even thru the next morning. (I know you are supposed to take off the makeup but after such a long day, party and drinks who has time to take off their makeup especially when you are super exhausted!!)
My hair was also beautiful! I asked her for an side up-​do and she did exactly what I wanted!!!
I got compliments throughout the day of how nice my hair and makeup came out.
I am so pleased with Andrea I will definitely be going back to her in the future events!
I highly recommend her! :)

I made a mistake… I should have used Andrea for my hair and makeup!
I was in a wedding yesterday and I decided to use another hair and make up person to save time. God was I wrong.
The other stylist made my eyes too dramatic with a smokey eye effect for a bridesmaid in a wedding. I wanted a soft smokey eye. I basically wanted to look like Sandra Bullock in her navy blue dress at the Oscars some time ago.
When I arrived at the hotel room where the other girls were getting ready, I saw Andrea and she was able to fix my eyes by blending lighter colors to make the look more soft and less harsh & dramatic. She touched me up the best she could and it was enough. I felt I looked a lot better which made me more confident.
Her team was very sweet, nice, and knowledgeable of hair and makeup.
I will never make the mistake of using any other makeup and hair stylist other than Andrea and her team!!! Ladies you are Amazing… Thank you for all your help

Andrea did my hair and makeup for my wedding and it literally looked flawless. I am a very picky person when it comes to both hair and makeup and she was able to match exactly what I wanted for my big day. She is also super sweet and so easy to reach if you have any suggestions or questions! Highly recommend!

My wedding was thrown together in about two weeks. I was so worried that I wouldn’t find a hair and makeup artist that could come to my house with such short notice, but luckily I found Andrea. She was on time, prepared, so sweet and very talented! I obviously didn’t have time for a trial, but she put me at ease and helped me look my best for my big day. Thank you, Andrea!

In the words of my matron of honor, Andrea is a magician. I threw my wedding together in 3 months, so hair and makeup planning took a backseat to other things, like food, music, chairs, the officiate… Less than two months out, in desperation, I enlisted the help of one of my bridesmaids to research some hair and makeup options in San Diego. After briefly looking through the portfolios of several hair and makeup artists, I crossed my fingers and booked Andrea for a trial one month before my wedding (my only shot for a trial, as I live in San Francisco and was in town for my bridal shower weekend). I was so relieved after my trial! My makeup looked great (definitely quality that I could not replicate myself, and I wear makeup every day), and my hair was exactly what I wanted.
I have very thick, very straight hair that does not like to hold curl, and after learning this fact during my trial, Andrea came prepared on the morning of my wedding. We started at 8:00am since I had six bridesmaids plus my mother and mother-​in-​law getting hair done, and a few getting makeup. As soon as she and her assistant hair stylist arrived, Andrea started on my hair, putting it in small rollers. I sat in those rollers all day long as my bridal party got their hair done by Andrea and her equally skilled assistant stylist. My girls all looked amazing. Not all of them chose to do makeup as well, and Andrea was very flexible about a few of the ladies changing their mind at the last minute. When Andrea finally did my hair, it looked great, and… the curls lasted all night, and until I washed them out the next day! It was a miracle! Also, the airbrush makeup feels super light on your skin, and provides great coverage. The makeup also lasted all night.
I would recommend Andrea to any bride. She´s an expert at what she does, very professional, and also really sweet and fun to hang out with for several hours on your wedding day.
