Makeup By Sophia P

I had a trial session with Sophia and she was so professional, talented and patient! She even had water and snacks for me! Prior to the trial session she asks that you send her some photos of hair and make-​up. I don’t wear much make-​up so didn’t have too many pictures for her but she really took her time and gave input on what she thought would look good with my skin tone. She really listens to you and constantly checked in with me to make sure I was happy with the make-​up and hair. I was a little particular with my hairstyle, especially since my hair wasn’t as long as I had hoped but Sophia worked with me and played around with styles until I was happy with it. She spent a lot of time with me during my trial (At least 3 hours!) but never once did I feel rushed.
On top of everything else, Sophia is very responsive with her emails, she even emailed me back on her wedding day! I would highly recommend Sophia P.

Sophia did my hair and make up for my wedding, as well as my bridesmaids and flower girls. She is a great artist who knows what she’s doing and will make you and your bridal party look amazing and flawless! Sophia has a fun personality that puts you at ease on your big day, and she will accommodate any type of look you’re going for. She encourages you to speak up if the session isn’t going the way you want it to, and wants to make sure that you like the final results. She arrives on time and makes sure you look great for your big day! She is also very affordable. I highly recommend her!

Sophia did make-​up for us for our Bollywood dance recital. She got three of us STAGE ready including figuring out how to place a tikka in my fine, short, blonde hair. Having Sophia do our make-​up made us feel like STARS. Everyone said that we showed stage presence which was largely due to Sophia’s magic. My only regret is that I can’t have her fix me up for my everyday life. Her service is worth every penny whether it’s for a wedding or something as «silly» as a dance recital for middle aged ladies. Thank you Sophia.

I just had a trial session with Sophia for my engagement photos and everything turned out as I wanted! I highly recommend her!
With an early make up session and an hour travel time, Sophia was so professional and considerate. There’s a lot of different make up artists to choose from in OC, but it’s tough to find someone who does a good job, with reasonable prices, and is accommodating. My entire correspondence with her was easy and straightforward. Just as I was about to e-​mail her about something, she would reach out to me first. Not to mention, she’s super sweet!
I sent her a LOT of pictures of what I thought I wanted, with Pinterest these days, us brides tend to go a little crazy with the ideas! But she was able to take all the elements I wanted and put it all together to make me feel pretty! She made my make up look natural with just a hint of glam, couldn’t ask for more!

I found Sophia on Unilocal and contacted her three weeks before my wedding. I was a bit nervous about how she would be since I’m not planning to do a hair/​make-​up trial. Turned out, Sophia was very professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I sent her photos of myself, the hair and make-​up styles I preferred, and she was able to work it. She kept in communication with me and addressed all of my concerns with care and in a timely manner. On the day of, Sophia showed up at the exact time she said she would and really took her time. The hair and make up turned out very beautiful and lasted me all day. She even gave me a little touch up kit. I would definitely recommend Sophia to any friends of mine.

Sophia did my hair and makeup trial last weekend. She was always very responsive by email and was great in person as well! She was really nice and accommodating, came to my location. I also had asked her to do the hair/​makeup of my future sister-​in-​law at her engagement party at the same time, so she even came at 6:30 in the morning to get all this done before the engagement party! I really liked both my hair and makeup, and Sophia was great at following up after as well. I will be booking her for my wedding!

I had my wedding makeup and hair trial with Sohpia a couple weeks ago and she was really fantastic! As soon as I booked my trial, Sophia was proactive in asking me to send her hair and makeup pictures so that she could get an idea of what I liked. Unfortunately, I got so busy with work and wedding planning the weeks leading up to my trial that I didn’t have much time to look into hair and makeup. Also, I knew what I wanted to look like, but could not find many pictures illustrating what I had in mind. I showed up at my trial with just two pictures of hair and zero pictures of makeup. Not a problem for Sophia – she took what little information I gave her, asked questions and created some really beautiful looks for me.
We tried one updo and one loose side swept look. She had me review each look carefully and asked for feedback on what I liked and didn’t like. She made the adjustments I requested and I ended up liking both looks! Next, we did the makeup trial. She really took her time with the makeup and was very detailed. I don’t really wear a lot of makeup and when I first saw the makeup look I was worried that it may be too much. Sophia was patient and edited the makeup based on my feedback, but also explained to me why she recommended not changing certain elements (for example, how the makeup would show in wedding pictures). To be honest, I was still a little uncertain after I left.
I met up with a friend right after the makeup trial and my friend, who does not flatter people and has no problem giving her honest opinion to me or anyone, was gushing about my makeup. I was actually meeting up with her to take her maternity photos and she kept insisting that she wanted to take some pictures of me b/​c the makeup looked so great. In the evening (yes, the makeup lasted all day even with me running around outdoors at a park taking pictures for my friend), I showed my mom (also not afraid to give me her honest opinion) and fiancé the makeup and they both loved it as well. Neither one thought there was too much makeup. In fact, my mom recommended that I ask the makeup artist to add a little more makeup to certain areas and funny enough, they were all the parts that I had asked Sophia to tone down a bit. haha oops!
Sophia is incredibly patient and talented. I didn’t realize it until I left, but my trial was over three hours long. However, I never felt rushed and Sophia carefully listened to me the whole time. I’m so happy I chose her for my wedding day and can’t wait to work with her!

Sophia helped us with BRIDESMAID MAKEUP for a wedding last weekend and she did a tremendous job!
It is never easy to manage time and balance doing hair and makeup for three girls but Sophia was on top of it and helped us look great for our friend’s big day. The three of us wanted a simple side swept hairstyle and natural makeup and Sophia did just that. Prior to the day, she was very organized and sent us tips for preparation as well as a tentative schedule. I was not a great bridesmaid and didn’t really prepare much in terms of specific looks I wanted or what type of fake lashes I was looking to do, but Sophia was flexible and knowledgeable, making suggestions along the way to help us all look our best.
Pricing was reasonable and scheduling was flexible, both a big plus!
When my makeup was first done, I was a little surprised by the dramatic change (lol!) and thought maybe I looked too… makeup heavy? But in the end, it was perfect for photographs and of course, Sophia knew best! The makeup and hair lasted all day, from 8am until 10pm.
What I liked most about Sophia was that she was very personable and easy going. She seems very sweet, and it is always nice to work with genuinely nice people.

Sophia is the best! I had a short film shoot last week and I was stressing out because this makeup artist I’ve used in the past was not responding. The shoot was three days away and I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to find a replacement makeup and hair artist in time. I looked through Unilocal and saw all of Sophia’s great reviews, then looked through her website and loved what I saw. I gave her a call – expecting that she would probably be unavailable or unresponsive as usually my luck goes – but to my surprise, she actually picked up, and she was so friendly! It turns out she was indeed available, and had such a reasonable rate. I was so relieved and booked her right away!
She confirmed with me the day before the shoot, and on the day of the shoot she was on time and ready to go! She is such a sweet and fun person and it made the whole process so fun and enjoyable! Sometimes I would be laughing and smiling so much that she had to wait for me to stop so she could continue applying my makeup, lol.
She did my hair first. I showed her a picture of what I wanted – a super wavy, voluminous look – and she made my hair look exactly like what I wanted. Even better than I had imagined! It was gorgeous and it lasted all day and night! And when it came to my makeup, she really puts the ‘artist’ in ‘makeup artist’! She took her time, being very precise, making sure I was happy with everything as she was going along. I had asked for a smokey eye look and it turned out amazingly! Again, it lasted all day and night, and I was so happy with the results!
I had such a great time having Sophia do my hair and makeup. I will definitely be using her in the future! She is such a nice person, and she’s also super professional, talented, and she really works hard to make sure you get the look you want! I highly recommend her! :)

I booked Sophia for a bridal makeup/​hair trial and also for my wedding this October. Sophia is very professional, easy to work with and super attentive. She is great with communication and has answered every single one of my questions in a timely manner. I look forward to working with her again for my wedding day. Thanks Sophia!

Sophia is so talented and so kind!!! I am so glad she is doing my wedding make up and hair. She was very open and friendly during my trial make up (my brother thought she was my friend lolll she’s so friendly;)). I showed her a picture of what kind of make up i wanted and she did exactly the same (it is truly amazing!!). I was a bit worried with make up because i dont really put make up on and i was afraid i would look too different or weird. But sophia has done a great job in giving me the natural look i wanted:) not too much and not too less. I would def recommend sophia for hair and make up for any occasion. She is also very fast in responding your messages/​questions. A++! :)

Sophia was amazing and very professional she made me feel and look beautiful on the most important day of my life.
She did everything and more then what I asked for, she is awesome!

Sophia did my makeup for my wedding last week. She did an amazing job and o felt gorgeous all night. My airbrush, eye makeup, and lashes held up all night. Sophia left me a touch up kit to touch up my lips after eating and what not. I highly recommend Sophia and you won’t be disappointed it you hire her for your event.

I hired Sophia to do my bridesmaid makeup and hairstyle for my friend’s wedding this past Saturday. She is such a wonderful makeup artist who is both professional and fun to work with! Booking with her was so easy and she tries to reply as quickly as possible :) prior to my beautifying appointment, Sophia sent me some helpful information and tips for making the morning go by smoother– which helped ALOT! She arrived exactly on time when the sun was still rising and was so cheerful– I just loved it! She has wonderful customer service and she always made sure I was very happy with the end result. The make up stayed the whole day despite dancing and running around doing bridesmaid duties Thank you Sophia for making me feel beautified and like a «princess» :))

My wife hired Sophia for our anniversary photo makeup. She is very nice and easy to work with. Her work is very detailed. My wife loves the design of her look and our photos came out nice! We are very satisfied and will definitely recommend to our friends. Thank you =)

Sophia is such an amazing hair and makeup artist. Not only is she great with her work, but her personality is a joy to be around. She did my hair and makeup for my winter formal and everything stayed on the whole night and still looked fabulous by the time I got home. She listened to me very well and created the look of my dreams! Can’t wait to call her again for prom :)

Sophia was a godsend the day of my wedding! I booked her less than 3 weeks before my wedding day and she replied to my emails very quickly and positively! She showed up on time, listened to what I requested and had the best tools and makeup! My makeup and hair lasted all day and was absolutely beautiful! She was so reliable and consistent and I would definitely recommend her for any bride! Her prices are awesome and totally worth it.

Sophia is amazing! I hired her for my wedding last week and couldn’t be happier with the results! I originally hired her as my makeup artist and planned on going to my usual hairstylist to do my hair, only my hairstylist didn’t show up for my appointment. I called Sophia to see if she could help and she immediately rushed over to do my hair and did an even better job than my usual stylist!
Simply put, her quality of work is outstanding, she is responsive, professional and very talented! She was extremely detailed and made sure that I was more than satisfied with her work. True customer service is a rarity these days and Sophia exceeds expectations! She literally saved my wedding day and I can’t thank her enough! If you have a big event coming up and want to look your best, I highly recommend hiring her… you will not be disappointed.

I called Sophia to get my makeup and hair done for a work event and I am glad I did. She responded promptly and even came to my apartment to do my makeup and hair. She took her time and always told me to be honest if I did not like something. She is extremely friendly and personable and I recommend her to anyone who is looking to get great quality make up and hair. Thanks for a wonderful experience Sophia!

Sophia did my hair and make up for my cousins wedding she’s very friendly and professional. I told her that she will do my make up on my wedding day and i will recommend her services. Thank you so much!

Sophia does a great job! We had a little fun with some Halloween makeup. I sent her a couple pics of what I liked and she combined them into exactly what I wanted. (It was unicorn theme make up btw) Beautiful colors and I got lots of compliments while out at night. Thanks Sophia!

I hired Sophia to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. She arrived on time at 5 am with all her gear and a smile. She is so sweet! I can truly say I have never felt so beautiful. I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally, and I looked stunning, but not too made up. Her prices are reasonable, and she is very open to listening to what you want. I really appreciate her getting up so early to make me look beautiful. I really recommend her for all your special event makeup needs.

Make up by Sophia P has the most amazing work. The make up that Sophia and her staff does accentuates your most beautiful features. She enchances and matches the hair and make up with what really goes well with your face. The team’s work is nothing but professional and high-​end quality of hair and make up. Sophia makes you feel like the most beatiful person in the world with what she can do with her talent. Would definitely recommend them!

Sophia is amazing! She made me look like a princess on my Wedding Day. She arrived early and traveled to my hotel, which made it so much easier for all of us to get ready. I did a trial run with her for my Bridal Shower and that’s when I knew she was the one to do my makeup on my special day. Her prices are excellent! I highly recommend her for any special occasion you may have. I look forward to using Sophia’s services again. I cannot thank Sophia enough for helping make my Wedding Day so special :)

I hired Sophia for my wedding day makeup. Her prices were very competitive, and reasonable. She was awesome! She really listened to what I wanted, and gave me exactly what I expected to look like on basically the most important event of my life so far.
She was very professional, and risked her life coming up this huge, steep hill early in the morning for my wedding day! Can’t beat that service. My bridesmaids, mom, and I were very happy with our looks and would definitely hire Sophia again.

In one word: phenomenal! Sophia is an excellent makeup artist. She makes sure to understand what you are seeking for but will also provide her suggestions as she sees fit. She is extremely popular so you must book her early. However, she will make it work. She’s s complete professional. She brings all the tools necessary. In regards to hair, she will create whatever you have in mind and will do her best to make sure it comes out great and satisfies you. I had her do my makeup and hair for my friend’s wedding and despite being an outdoor reception and dancing all night, I still looked great hours later. I’ve worked with other artists and have felt like I’m wearing layers of makeup and nearly feels like a mask, but with Sophia I felt completely fine. In addition, she has a very positive personality and will make your experience comfortable and fun. Book her soon.’

I normaly dont write reviews on Unilocal but felt the need to for this talented artist. I had a trial with her, after the trial I was beyond satisfied with my hair and makeup that I immediately hired her for my big day. She worked on my makeup and hair as well for my mom and three of my bridesmaids. Sophia and her assitant arrived on time and finished on time. Me and my bridal party loved our makeup and hair and the best part it lasted all day (even with all the dancing) She also gives a little touch up kit that includes blotting sheets, sample of lipstick incase you need touch up. The blotting sheets does come in handy. Cant wait to see the professional pictures!

So I called almost everyone in the OC area and checked out their webpage to see their hair and makeup style and also called for pricing (Sophia offers the best rate!)… Sophia is the best! and I highly recommend her! she is what what every bride should be looking into. She is very professional and on time!
Sophia and Kathy did all four of my bridesmaids hair and makeup! They were very pretty. She listened to what I, the bride, had to request! and also the bridesmaids preferences. As a chubby bride, I think it is very important to have a makeup artist who doesn’t judge you by your outside appearance and does it to however she thinks will help your face slim down to/​deserve. She didn’t make assumption to what my bridesmaid wants and I truly appreciate that! Everyone looks beautiful that day!
Again, you will not regret hiring Sophia!

Sophia is incredible! I know how to make myself look presentable in an everyday sort of way, basic stuff, and with hair I’m pretty much the same way. I am in no way an expert. lol. So for a birthday I wanted something exciting and more professional. Sophia really gets the job done. She’s social and easy to talk to, which makes being open to suggestions easy. I didn’t feel trapped in her hands. She comes with ideas but really adapts to your face as she goes along. I like that she comes to you, really makes the process better. Definitely not one to focus on the clock, quality work and patience is at hand. I really feel I got the better deal, with everything, seeing as how I’m just some random and she’s worked on celebrities. lol. Would highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Thanks again to Sophia!

Sophia is amazing ! She comes to your place to work on you. She has positive and cheerful attitude. Before your out the door she makes sure your looking amazing.

We even took makeup lessons from her and all my friends absolutely adored her. Don’t look anymore for another makeup artist. Sophia is indeed the best!!!

Sophia is amazing she did my gf hair and makeup for a special night I had planned for us on valentine’s day. Couldn’t have been more pleased and happy with the results, she went to my gf place and gave her a look that had her glowing the entire night.
Would definitely recommend, professional and very helpful.

Sophia came to my place and did my makeup for my engagement photoshoot. She arrived on time and completely prepared.
My first interactions with her were through email and she answered all of my questions with patience and asked me questions which helped us both understand the best direction for my makeup look.
I suffer from problematic skin and I wanted a very natural look for the e-​shoot. I was really worried that, to conceal my flaws, I would look cake-​y and coated with makeup. Instead, Sophia made me look beautiful and only applied as much makeup as was necessary. I didn’t look caked at all!
To boot, Sophia is incredibly personable and sweet. She’s very professional and a wizard with makeup. Throughout my makeup session, she was pleasant and really friendly. I felt like I was talking to a girlfriend as she applied my makeup.
Bottom line, Sophia is fantastic and you couldn’t find a better artist to do your makeup!
