Hair/makeup in peninsula?

Does anyone have any recommendations for hair and makeup in the Peninsula?  Ideally, it'd be someone who can come to us, although I wouldn't be opposed to going into a salon if it was in Menlo Park or Palo Alto.  Also, about how much do these services cost in the area?

    I used Megan for my makeup and she did a great job. She is super sweet and down to earth, listened to all that i wanted.

    She's been in the industry for over 10 years and has a lot of experience it bridal makeup, photography makeup, and fashion makeup...even special effects!  She's super sweet and very talented and makes you feel very comfortable, like an old friend.  Her work is AMAZING!  She does hair and makeup, so you don't have to pay 2 separate people.  She'll definitely make you look like a star on your wedding day, bot in photos and in real life.

    She's the official makeup artist at my wedding for me and my bridal party this July.

    Hair and Make-up - DO NOT GO WITH NINA BARBOSA!! She was 2 1/2 HOURS LATE on my wedding day!! This made it impossible to take pictures before the wedding like we had wanted.  AND she did not stay until I walked down the aisle as promised.  The list of negatives goes on and on including her asking me days before the wedding how I came up with the total amount owed and that I needed to add $100 for travel.  I referred her to the contract SHE WROTE which stated the total AND that travel was INCLUDED!  I know a lot of people rave about her...I was one of those but being that late with no explaination and no apology on my wedding day was inexcusable to me along with some stress she caused me a week before the wedding.

    I recommend Katrina Baligaya. She used to work for mac and shu uemura.  I flew her out to Las Vegas for my wedding in February.  Not only is she a great make-up artist, she's very down to earth.

    Try Fieza at Picture Perfect Makvoers.  Her website is www.pictureperfectmakeovers.com and I think more of her work is on her Facebook page. She's based in the Bay but travels lots of places. She did my wedding and was amazing! Really listened and did just what I wanted. She's got lots of experience too.
