I've been a HMUA for a little over 14 years, worked in the big city (LA) and now back in my hometown raising our 2 littles doing what I love most! I've worked all over the industry! I'm a licensed esthetician and really have found my happy place here with all my beautiful brides! I still love working on sets, all sorts of events but there's just something about being there for someone on their big day that never gets old. I've been a bride myself and can attest to the overwhelming mix of emotions that come with planning such an important day. SO I'm here to ease a bit of that for you as your day of artist! xoxo Amanda

She guided me seamlessly through the process until we landed on the look. Then, day of, she executed what we decided on during the trial beautifully. And stayed on schedule. Also, genuinely a nice person and made me feel super comfortable. 10/10 recommend!”

Raven Reed | Makeup & Hair is a San Francisco–based luxury bridal styling company serving Napa Valley, Carmel, and destinations worldwide. Led by founder Raven Reed, our team is known for refined, skin-forward artistry that photographs flawlessly and feels effortless in real life. Every experience is calm, intentional, and tailored to the woman in the chair—elevating her natural beauty rather than masking it. Whether preparing for an intimate elopement or a multi-day celebration, Raven and her artists bring an editorial eye and a deep respect for the moment, creating looks that are modern, timeless, and unmistakably you.

“I stumbled upon Raven's Instagram during wedding planning and noticed how all of her clients looked radiant, delighted, and uniquely made up to suit each person's face. I had had a very disappointing trial run with someone else, but with no prior experience, I didn't know if that was just how professional makeup was going to feel regardless; I didn't feel like I looked like myself, and that's certainly not how I wanted to feel or look like on my special day. Once I reached out to Raven, I could tell by her warm and compassionate correspondence that this person was going to do her utmost to understand my needs/wishes. We did a trial at my home and I was immediately put at ease by her professionalism and the warmth she expressed in her emails was exactly how she was in person as well. She never judged me on my personal skincare or makeup routine and offered great insights and tips for my everyday life and in preparation for my wedding day. On my wedding day, she arrived with an assistant promptly (probably early, even!) and seeing their friendly faces eased so many of my jitters. They did my mother-in-law's makeup and hair, and I could tell by her ear-to-ear smile that she was so happy with the results. Raven's assistant even managed to put her short bob-length hair into an elegant french twist-like updo, which she never would have thought possible. Raven, once again, did her magic on my face, with even more attention to detail than the trial, and our chat during the session made me forget from time to time that I was supposed to be nervous! No surprise, I was so happy with how my makeup looked – I felt like me, but fancier and photo-ready. On top of everything, they also spruced up my husband and tidied him up before the main event as well. They mostly touched up his skin and helped him with his hair and beard, but most of all, I know he appreciated their calming and warm demeanor when he was nervous too. Do not hesitate to book Raven for your event! She's truly a wonderful person and an amazing makeup artist. She will stop at nothing to make you feel like the beautiful person you are.”

“Kim and her teammate Amber helped style me and my three bridesmaids for my wedding day and they did an absolutely stellar job. Even before the big day, Kim helped ease my worries by having zoom meetings with me, being available by email/text, and walking me through my hair and make up trial. It was seriously the best experience and we all got so many compliments on our hair and makeup. Plus they were all so easy going and friendly to talk to! It made speaking up about any concerns very easy to do. I cannot recommend Kim Baker Beauty enough!”

I'm new to Zola, but not to Bridal Hair! With 17 years dedicated to crafting beautiful hair, and 8 of those in Bridal styling. My experience aids to specializing in varying styles - from vintage, to boho, to a modern esthetic. Recently, my partner and I made the exciting move to Portland from San Francisco. I can’t wait to discover all the stunning wedding venues the PNW has to offer! When I'm not doing hair, you can find me trying a new coffee shop, making kombucha, or hiking with my husband and our dog, Livia. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

“How lucky was I to have found April for my special day! I got in touch with April through a referral from a friend who had nothing but good things to say about their experience. My initial consult made me feel more at ease and helped me decide what look to go with since it can be overwhelming! I also opted to see April to get my hair cut and colored right before the wedding, and felt confident and pretty, and enjoyed getting to visit and chat with April before the main event. On my wedding day she did hair for my three bridesmaids as well before styling me. They all had a great experience and looked amazing! April executed my romantic vision, and even added in some flowers to match my bouquet. I loved how it turned out, and my hair stayed up and secure all day and night. I loved working with April for my special day, but I love even more that we remained friends! She is fun, funny, creative, and brings a calming energy. She also continues to do my cuts and colors. I always do and always will recommend April!”
