Dreamcatcher Artistry

Amber was phenomenal! She came to do makeup and hair for my wedding in Santa Ynez. Everyone looked fabulous and I was so happy with what she did for me! She had a fantastic accommodating attitude with everyone. So pleased I had the chance to work with her!

I got lucky not knowing anything about them and used them for an event around Santa Barbara county and the artist they sent was AMAZING!!! It was for a grown up Halloween costume party, hair and make was exactly to the picture I had shown.

I first heard about Dreamcatcher Artistry from a good friend so I decided to check out their work on other brides. My wedding was in San Luis Obispo but I wasn’t too thrilled about the h+mu artists there, especially because it was very hard to get ahold of most of them. I contacted the owner of Dreamcatcher, Leah, and received a response within the hour. I wasn’t able to schedule a hair + make up trial because my schedule was too busy, but I put together a pinterest folder to send to her so her artist (Michele) would have an idea of what I wanted. When the day came Michele arrived on time and ready to go, and got to work on my mom’s hair and my sister’s hair. They were both so happy with the result. their hair looked perfect! Michele did a wonderful job on my hair and make up; it was everything I’d imagined. I felt like a queen! Thank you so much, Leah and Michelle, for helping to make my day the most memorable and special of my life!

Trusting Leah with my wedding hair and makeup was one of the best decisions I made when it came to planning our wedding day. I have long, curly, and sometimes hard to deal with hair, but Leah put me at ease and created a beautiful look! She listened to what I wanted, and executed everything perfectly. I felt really comfortable and looked like the best version of myself. I also had Leah and one of her associates do hair for my maid-​of-​honor, my officiant friend, my mother, and my mother in-​law. They both did an amazing job, and everyone was very happy with how they looked. Thank you Leah for making the hair and makeup portion of getting ready completely stress-​free! You and everyone at Dreamcatcher Artistry are awesome!!!

I hired Dreamcatcher Artistry for my hair and makeup for my wedding and was lucky enough that the owner, Leah, was available on my wedding day. She is incredible in every way.
She was kind enough to do 2 hair trials because I was very indecisive about my hair and didn’t know what I wanted. On the day of my wedding, I decided to change yet again and she handled it so effortlessly and smoothly! My hair and make up turned out perfect! It was exactly the vision I had for my big day and I am very grateful to this extremely talented woman for making it happen.
Besides being talented and highly adaptive to my needs and suggestions, she’s fun and a blast to have hanging with you and your bridesmaids while getting ready.
I could not recommend Leah and Dreamcatcher Artistry more highly! You will be in excellent hands!

Amber and Leah were absolutely amazing for my wedding in Santa Barbara this past weekend! I never thought I would have the hair of my dreams for my wedding! Our makeup was stunning. They were not only friendly and professional, but they let me add on two additional family members on only a few hours notice! Dream catcher is worth every dime and more if you want to look fabulous for any special occasion

Dreamcatcher was amazing and incredibly easy to deal with! They made my whole «elopement» wedding at Santa Barbara as easy possible. Leah who was my initial contact was very professional and it was just a matter of signing contracts and giving her pictures of what look I wanted for the day. The HMU artist — Adrieanna was amazing!!! She was on time (7 am!!) super friendly and professional and most importantly made my hair and make up flawless for my wedding day. She got everything right even without a trial run. She gave me such a natural look that photographed extremely well. The hair was exquisite and exactly what I wanted. I definitely recommend them!

Leah was fabulous to work with in Novato for my son’s wedding, April 25! I appreciated the natural look that lasted through the entire night – tears and all!

I absolutely loved how I looked on my wedding day!!! I had my hair done by Adrieanna and my makeup done by Sahar for my March wedding. (I also had four bridesmaids.) They were professional, friendly, on-​time, and a pleasure to have around! My hair and makeup stayed put and looked great all night, I couldn’t have asked for anything more!
I chose Dreamcatcher because it had such great Unilocal reviews… even better reviews than some of its [more expensive] competition! If you are undecided, pick Dreamcatcher! It is definitely worth it!

My elopement was Feb 28^th 2015, and boy did i look fantastic!!! Adrieanna was perfect! She is so sweet and humble and made me feel and look like a princess on my wedding day.
The booking process was fantastic and easy with Leah, I had 1 month to plan EVERYTHING. My emails were responded to right away and very helpful and pleasant! I would go with Dreamcatcher Artistry again in a heartbeat! Thank you ladies

I worked with Leah back in 2012, she did my hair and makeup. She is extremely talented and really understands how to accentuate an individuals features. I loved, loved, loved my makeup and honestly have never been able to find anyone that can match her skills! I only wish she lived closer to me. She also did my hair and it was exactly the way I wanted it. Natural looking with loose curls. I would definitely recommend her and if given the opportunity I would work with her again.

My wedding was in Santa Barbara on 06÷18÷14. At the beginning of June I decided to have a professional makeup artist do my makeup and two of my bridesmaids makeup as well. Out of all the businesses I’ve contacted Dreamcatcher was the first to respond very quickly and was very accommodating. Their prices included airbrush make up and eyelash extension which was extra with other businesses so they by far had the best price. The process was very easy and the communication was superb. The makeup artist that arrived ON TIME and I even think a little early was Sahar. She is AWESOME! She made me flawless! My bridesmaids looked amazing. Her personality was great as well. She even did touch ups on my bridesmaids as well and really took her time. I was really pleased with the services and would definitely recommend Dreamcatcher to anyone having their wedding in Santa Barbara!

I used Dreamcatcher Artistry to book my hairstylist for my wedding this past weekend in Santa Barbara. Everything went well and so easy to to communicate with Leah. This was a destination wedding so having vendors that were easy to work with and accommodating was a must!
Their prices are reasonable and the work is outstanding. My hairstylist was Adrieanne and she was so fun to work with!
I would definitely recommend Leah and her team for anything you might need.

My husband and I eloped at the Courthouse at the end of May. At first I didn’t think I wanted my hair and makeup done professionally but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted it done. I found Dreamcatcher Artistry on Unilocal and all of the prior reviews are definitely true. I had called/​emailed a few other local professional makeup places to check out rates and Dreamcatcher definitely had the best rates. Leah was prompt, professional, and friendly with all of her emails. She kept in touch with me and asked really good questions about what I wanted. I was also in the process of moving to Texas during this process so I didn’t have time to do a trial run.
On the day of the elopement, my hair and makeup artists showed up promptly at my hotel room. Adrieanna did my hair. I wanted a simple, kind of messy low side bun but wasn’t sure if I could pull it off because I didn’t have that much hair and my hair wasn’t too long as well. Adrieanna created a beautiful side bun with curls and I LOVED IT! I never thought my hair could do what she did with it. After Adrieanna was done with my hair, Sahar did my makeup. I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis and when I do, it’s really light and minimal makeup. I was really worried about my makeup because I’m Asian and it’s hard to find a makeup artist who knows how to work with Asian eyes. Sahar did an amazing job with my makeup. I wanted a nice, subtle and elegant look and Sahar delivered. I was kind of weary about the makeup at first because I knew I had a lot on but after a while I got used to the look and loved it. The makeup didn’t feel heavy at all and I still looked like myself, just with more defined features. My hair and makeup lasted the whole night and everyone complimented both. Adrieanna and Sahar both rocked and if I ever need to get my hair and makeup done in the SB area again, I will definitely book with Dreamcatcher Artistry and request Adrieanna and Sahar.

4.5 stars: bridesmaid make up and hair on point and beautiful, my bridal make up also beautiful, bridal hair fell a little short.
I found Dreamcatcher Artistry on Unilocal just 3 ½ months before my October 2013 wedding and chose to go with them based solely on the Unilocal reviews. My wedding was in Santa Barbara and I live in the San Francisco bay area, but communication with Leah was always extremely professional, courteous and impressively quick. Prices were competitive for the local research that I had done, at $ 180 for bridal hair and airbrush make up, $ 120 for the trial, and $ 130 for wedding party hair and make up.
My trial with Katie and Rachele for hair and make up went pretty well — my make up was really pretty but not quite dramatic enough for photos, and my face (which is very oily prone), ended up quite oily very shortly after the trial. We also learned that my hair only held a curl for about an hour and a half, (I went with a half up, half down curled look), and the final look needed to be tweaked a bit. I voiced my concern with Leah and she was very appropriate, and reassured me that she would have her hair artist use a different technique that would hold the curls for my wedding day, but couldn’t provide any help with my oily skin problem. Still, I was not nervous about the wedding day based on the trial.
On the wedding day Katie and Rachele were really great with my bridesmaids and mother of the groom. They were both very professional and calm, and everyone’s hair and make up turned out exactly how they wanted, even with all their styles. I told Rachele I wanted a more dramatic look for my make up, so she started out lighter and went heavier as requested. I loved the final result! She is a true artist. I used a mattifying primer and had no problem with oiliness that day. My hair turned out much more beautiful than the trial as well, and the curls even held pretty well for most of the night. The girls both stayed past their scheduled time to help finish with placing the veil and whatnot, which was very nice of them.
Great communication and great artists! Overall, I’d definitely recommend Dreamcatcher Artistry to other brides and support Leah’s business!

I had the pleasure of working with Leah and she was amazing from the start! When I began my search for a make-​up artist, she was one of the few that had actually returned back my call/​e-​mail. At one time she had plans to be out of town, and I greatly appreciated her letting me know so that I was not hanging around waiting for her to respond.
She was very accommodating when it came to the trial run. I am from Los Angeles and had my wedding in Santa Barbara; therefore, I did not have a place to have the trial run at. She was able to make arrangements for us to have the trial elsewhere in Santa Barbara without any problem.
The trial run went smoothly and she listened to everything that I had wanted. Never did she come off as someone who was unable to make my requests a reality. After a few weeks, I wanted to make some changes to what we had initially discussed and she was more than happy to make adjustments.
The day of, she was on time and quick to set up. She did make up for my two sisters, grandma, and mother on top of doing airbrush make up and hair for me! She was quick and efficient. One thing that my family and I LOVED about Leah was that she listened. Don’t be afraid to tell her what you want because she is more than happy to do it.
Overall, she made that beauty part of getting married a piece of cake. She communicates well and knows what she is doing. Her work is quick, yet precise. The products are top notch and lasted me 12 hrs! Thank you Dreamcatcher Artistry!

Although I am a regular user of Unilocal I have never written reviews until now. My wedding was last weekend in Santa Barbara and some of my vendors were EXCELLENT! On top of my list is Leah with Dreamcatcher.
Let me start at the beginning. I am from out of town so picking my vendors was quite the challenge but thanks to Unilocal and the quickness of responses from Leah, hair and makeup was easy. Aside from being very fairly priced, Leah was quick to answer all my questions and very accommodating as well. In the beginning it was my bridesmaids and I. Then shortly after, we added my mom, and then my aunt AND then only a week before added the grooms mom. And, Leah did everything to make the needed changes.
So, the night before my hair and makeup trial I was extremely ill. I was up all night with some kind of bug/​flu. Leah met me at the hotel I was staying and got to work. She made me look like a princess! Although I had initially planned on standard makeup, Leah added lashes and airbrush which was great!
Everyone had told me how great I looked and had a hard time believing I was as sick as I said.
The next day when it was time for the real deal, I was even more impressed! She showed up on time and was very flexible in the scheduling. Prior to the big day we had put together a schedule with who would be getting hair/​makeup done and when. However when the day came, it was a disaster. My mom, sister and I were running late so we’re not around but Leah made it
Work by substituting my aunt, etc. On top of it all, the grooms mom was not able to get away so Leah made a trip to the venue to do her hair and makeup. I had also asked her to stick around for touchups which she did, but I should have asked her to stand by as security. She guarded the door when guests tried to come in, and gave me multiple pointers from how to use the bathroom in the wedding dress and drink out of a straw (which she had already packed and ready to use).
So to sum up, Leah is freaking amazing! She also had a helper which I did not get a chance to work with personally but the rest of the bridal party were impressed. In addition to the killer prices (trust me I shopped around), her talent is unbelievable! And what makes her even better is her friendly and professional personality with her willingness to accommodate YOU. I don’t know what I would have done without Leah on my wedding day! (And the day before for the trial: p !) Trust me, you need to see it to believe it! Thanks Leah!

I had the best wedding ever so I’m going to write an amazing review for all of my vendors.
Dreamcatcher rocks. I found them first on Unilocal and yup, the reviews are true.
The team is so sweet and pleasant to work with. They want to make you happy.
What I loved is they took my feedback openly and earnestly to make any changes I requested since I had a wild description of what I wanted for my wedding. «the girl just came home from the beach and took a quick shower and is throwing on her couture frock. She’s not too fussy and doesn’t need to try too hard. she’s natural but striking. she’s fresh and glamourous bc of her presence.» Yeh– somehow they got it.
they can do dramatic or natural.
The communication was superb. Emails back and forth with immediate responses. Leah is the best.
Did I mention how affordable and fantastic their pricing is for everything? Yes. And you’re not going to sacrifice any quality for it if you’re wondering. I can’t imagine how anyone else can charge more for their services if Dreamcatcher is this great.
PS: Oh and my girlfriend wanted to try to do her own hair and they guided her through it and helped out too. Extra sweet sauce, thank you!!!

I found Dreamcatcher through my coordinator, Katie Seefeldt. From the very beginning, Leah was fantastic to work with — we scheduled a time for a hair and makeup trial to begin, where she was incredibly patient, full of great ideas and spent a lot of time getting everything right so that on the day of my wedding, we could move quickly. She’s friendly, full of great energy and sincere and honest, not to mention very talented, pretty and very put together.
On my wedding day, she was extremely professional, on time, efficient and focused. She brought an assistant who was equally as awesome. All my guests and wedding party adored her. And I looked incredible — I can’t wait to see photos, but from what I’ve seen so far, she was spot on in regard to her suggestions on makeup to bring out certain features for photos.
I truly hope to work with Leah again in the future for events. :)

I can’t speak more highly of this company! Adrienna & Rachelle were phenomenal! Adrienna nailed my vintage hair look, if you want vintage she’s your lady 110%! Rachelle did a fantastic job on my airbrush makeup! LOOVVE these ladies! Leah, the owner, is phenomenal when it comes to keeping you informed and in contact with you which helped make the process so stress free and helpful. Adrienna was a blast to work with and so easy to talk to and get along with! Rachelle is amazingly easy going and very receptive to different ideas and concepts of makeup. I ca not… cannot speak highly enough of these three amazingly talented ladies, they make me wanna get married all over again just to go through the process again and get their amazing results!
