Wedding and Event Hair & Make-Up On Location

From the first time I met Gayle for my Bridal Hair Trial I knew I had found the right person to do my hair. Gayle arrived on time, prepared and listened to what I wanted and delivered! Of course I hired Gayle to do my hair on the day of my wedding and she was great at keeping in contact up to the day of the wedding. Her and her assistant arrived on time and did an absolute amazing job on my hair, plus 5 Bridesmaids, Mother of the Bride and 2 flower girls. They went above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and relaxed the day of. They were flexible at listening to any changes we had the day of and even gave their professional advice, which ended up looking beautiful! Gayle had no problem keeping on schedule and even stayed a little longer to help with last minute touch-ups before taking pictures. It was a little windy the day of my wedding, but my hair stayed flawless through the entire night! Me and my girls received so many compliments on our hair! Thank you Gayle!! I will definitely keep you in mind!!

Gayle is the best. Calm, professional, prompt, and talented.

Gayle made me look so beautiful on my wedding day! I didn't have time to do a trial beforehand, but I just told her what I had in mind and she did my hair and make-up just the way I wanted. And she was so fun to work with...her calming and easygoing nature was just what i needed to help me feel relaxed as I was getting ready. She also did hair and make-up for my mom, sister, and my two best friends and they all looked amazing...she truly has a gift! Even before the big day she was so organized and on top of everything which made the whole process stress-free for me. I wish all of my vendors had been as organized and professional as Gayle!

I feel blessed to have found Gayle to do my hair for my wedding. I researched and interviewed countless crazy, overpriced, irresponsible, unprofessional hair/make-up artists....and when I got a hold of Gayle, I immediately knew that she was exactly what I was looking for. From the first phone conversation, through the hair/makeup trial at her home, to the wedding day - she was wonderful to work with. She has a great personality, she listened to my ideas, gave great suggestions, and best of all - was able to create a gorgeous hair-do, which matched my vision for my wedding day. She was never stressed, which in turn put me and my bridesmaids at ease. She was punctual, gracious, fun, and a true professional. When the number of assistants available changed, Gayle immediatly communicated the situation with me, and adjusted the schedule for the day to accomodate a new time-line. I wasn't worried at any point, because I knew Gayle had everything under control at all times. For one bride and six bridesmaids, her pricing was fair, and she exceeded all our expectations! Sarah, the make-up artist, did a fantastic job with all of us, and she and Gayle make a super team.

My experience with Gayle couldn't have been better!During the trial, she played with my ideas, took suggestions, and added her own twist until we were all happy with the results. My hair on the day of the wedding looked even better than during the trial.She also did several of our bridesmaids hair and they all turned out great.She was extremely affordable, willing to come to the house which saved us a great deal of hassle, and very friendly.I would definitely recommend Gayle to any bride in the San Francisco Bay area.

Gayle is fabulous! She is a true artist who helped me feel gorgeous on my wedding day. What I loved about her is that she was willing to accommodate all my requests and carefully listened to all my mom's concerns. She's super patient and very talented.On the wedding day, Gayle arrived with suitcase full of hair accessories and let me wear one of her hair pieces when I decided I don't like mine that much. She made me and my mom look absolutely beautiful and her work lasted through the whole night!

Gayle did my hair and makeup for my wedding in August. She also did my sisters' hair. She was a delight to work with and even fixed my mother's hair on the side! I truly appreciated her expertise and style.

Gayle was very professional and made me look beautiful for my wedding day. She was very professional and organized, prompt and prepared. I can't think of anything she could have done better.

Gayle is amazing. She was prepaired for anything and really came through for me on my big day. I ended up having to use hair accessories for one of my bridesmaids, since she forgot to bring the clips i bought for her to match the other girls. Gayle pulled out her kit and found something to match the rest of the ladies. She got us all ready on time and was extremly professional and fun. I really appreciated how detailed she was and how willing she was to get my hair just right. You can't go wrong with Gayle and her team!! Thanks Gayle for all you hard work and giving me the wedding hair I've always dreamed of.

Gayle was flexible and super easy to work with.

after a horrible trial hair & makeup experience with another stylist, i found gayle and booked a trial with her. she understood my previous bad experience and did everything she can to put me at ease. she asks for inspiration photos for both hair and makeup before you meet with her, and she had really spent time to study these before we met. she took her time during the trial to make sure every detail was perfect and that i was happy with our results so she knew what to do on the wedding day. the morning of the wedding, she was a calming presence and really took her time to make every detail perfect. both hair and makeup looked even better the day of the wedding and i couldn't have been happier! thank you gayle!!

Gayle did a wonderful job with my hair. I showed her the hairstyle I wanted and she styled my hair better that my sample picture! The make-up artist, Sarah also did a wonderul on all my bridesmaids' and my make-up. Everyone complimented on our hair and make-up. Thank you Gayle & Sarah for such an amazing weekend!

I have sensitive skin and needed to use particular products. Gayle was flexible and accommodating. She did my updo and my maid of honor's half updo. We did a trial run, modified the final style, and the end result day-of was just the glamorous look I was going for. See her portfolio at: http://www.weddingandeventhair.com/Portfolio.html

I found Gayle through a work reference at almost the very last minute. From the moment I met her she put me at ease, and I felt completely safe in her hands. I just knew that whatever she came up with would look fabulous and it did! On our first meeting, she took the time to listen to what I thought I wanted, asked about the dress and the day and time and, within minutes it seemed, had created this beautiful semi-up-do which looked effortless and natural and utterly beautiful. When I left that day I had every confidence she would take great care of my bridesmaids and myself, and she did! My wedding was a midday wedding located about an hour away from the location where I was getting ready so Gayle had to show up quite early, but she was there on time, with a big smile and even had tissue at hand when I got a bit sniffly. I cannot say enough that is good about her, if I ever have the excuse to get my hair done up again, I wouldn't hesitate to call her, or recommend her to anyone else.

Gayle invited me to a free consultation at the studio in her home to discuss what I wanted for my wedding day. On the wedding day, she came to the wedding venue on time and ready to do my make-up and hair. This saved so much time during a jam-packed day. She created a wonderful look for me and I received so many positive comments from my guests about how I looked---everyone loved the flowered headpiece in my hair which she placed and well-secured it so it would not fall off during the evening. I would recommend Gayle to any bride who wants to look her best on this very special day in her life. And I want to say that I am not the usual young bride---I am 66 years old and looked and felt like a 20-something bride!

Gayle is personable, generous with her time and has excellent follow-up. I had no idea what I wanted when I went to see her for the trial and she gave me great ideas and spent as much time as I needed working through it with me. She was accessible the entire time I worked with her, responding promtly to my emails and questions. When I wanted a couple of things done differently the day of the wedding, she was more than accomodating, and delivered exactly what I asked for. I could tell it was important to her not just to get the job done, but to be sure I was happy with the outcome. My bridesmaids were pleased with Gayle's work as well, and each commented on how nice she is and how much they enjoyed meeting her. I would highly recommend Gayle's services.

Gayle did an outstanding job on my hair and on top of that has the greatest and most calm composure to make you feel at ease and confident to find the perfect style you want for your wedding. I did a few trials with her and was so excited to have found her -esp. with such a great value for what she provides and professional in her services and responsiveness as well. She is very talented and was a pleasure to have around while i was nervous and getting ready to walk down the aisle! A secret gem, I highly recommend her for weddings or any event to make you feel like a supreme goddess.

Gayle was the best. Not only was she flexible with my date (over Labor Day weekend and quite a drive for her), she really got what I was looking for, and made my hair look like I've never seen it look before. She even went out of her way to find a picture of what I wanted, and then to make my hair look exactly like the picture. My hair lasted all day, even after extensive boogeying to our funk band!Gayle was also a very calming presence the morning of my wedding, even as my makeup artist rushed to put my makeup on while Gayle was working on my hair!I cannot recommend Gayle highly enough. If you are in the Bay area, hire Gayle! You won't be sorry!Maggie Benedict-Montgomery

Working with Gayle was fun and productive from the start. She is organized, responsive, communicative, and was willing to work with my and my bridesmaids' budgets to ensure we all ended up looking like we wanted to look on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Gayle to anyone looking for event hair in the bay area!

Gayle was friendly, accommodating and her prices were extremely reasonable! Most other hairdressers were charging an arm and a leg to travel to Napa, but Gayle's services were within my budget and I got exactly the style I was looking for.
