When I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding day, our wedding coordinator Gillian Shenon and florist, Erica Rose, sent me to Ramee.
The Bottom Line:
Regardless of the look you want, Ramee can do it, and so much more elegantly than you imagined it. Plus this is one calm lady and is exactly who you want hanging out with you before the insanity of your wedding starts.
The Details:
I was not even convinced I wanted a wedding day makeup artist. But holy canoli am I glad I met Ramee. I usually wear just mascara, so the thought of professional make up made me nervous.
From the second I met Ramee, her calm, relaxed, warm, friendly, straight shooting demeanor, immediately put me at ease. She was all, if you hate it, we can change it. But she also was very clear and direct with what was going to flatter my face and skin tone most, as well as fit into the look I wanted. She listened to everything I wanted, made very very helpful suggestions, then created a look that was the best version of me, the version I wish I were every single day. I have never felt so perfectly put together as I did after Ramee was finished.
Ramee brought Sheila with her, and she made every single lady have their best hair day ever.
Also, they both created looks for my wedding party that was spot on for each person. It matched their personalities perfectly, and everybody looked like themselves, just the best version of themselves.

I was looking on Unilocal for something else and I realized I had never written a Unilocal review for the awesomeness that is Sheila. I have been going to Sheila for almost 9 years. I first happened upon her after I cut my own bangs and ran into a random salon asking, «can someone help me?» She took pity on me and fixed my bangs, and I have been asking for her help ever since. The way I describe her cutting style to people is this: she always does exactly what you want except better. What I mean is you think you wanted something, and she does that, but makes adjustments so its even better than what you’d hoped for. She’s expensive, but worth every penny in my opinion. She’s also really cool, and has a great sense of style. She is very meticulous and will not finish with your hair until you are both 100% satisfied. You will not be sorry.

Outstanding! Can not get better than this;-) Most beautiful hair come out of this salon:-)

I love this place! Amazing stuff, especially ELKIN who saved my life and my hair! The previous hairdressor destroyed my hair, got me an orange highlights and burned my ends. I got to Elkin Chacon desperate and he made magic with my hair. My hair is growing and I’m proud to be platinum blond! I can highly recommend!

I love Sheila! I am so low maintenance when it comes to my hair that I usually leave it up to her as to what to do with it. She gives the best cut, color and laughs! Sheila even knows what music I like and when I go in, we’re back in the 80’s.
Try her… you will never go anywhere else, EVER.

Ramee & Sheila are AWESOME!!! They are incredibly talented, sophisticated, personable, funny, punctual, and spot on about knowing what will make you look stunning, while still making you look like YOU! I was lucky to have Ramee do my make-​up and Sheila my hair for my wedding two weeks ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better duo to make me beautiful — and to hang out with on, let’s face it, kind of a high-​octane occasion. :) But both Ramee and Sheila brought their genius and their super-​fun energy to the room (thank you!!). We had already decided how I would look — thanks to a great trial where we tested looks and where they were so cool about listening to me and making sure I was happy with their work. Ramee also shared some indispensable advise about daily facial care, which has been a lifesaver. Oh — and they also did hair for my mom and mother-​in-​law, making these two New York women look beautiful and fresh. Weddings or any kind of super-​important occasion is one in which you don’t want to leave your hair and make-​up to just anybody. You don’t want to be stressed out and you want to make sure that the people who are working on your hair and make-​up really understand what will work for you. So if that’s what you’re looking for, don’t think any further and call Winc Studio now!

Jade is the best, the most gentle hair designer I have ever had. She makes me feel so comfortable, it is the shortest 4 hours I have ever spent in a salon. Her hair straightening method is effective for 1 year, and I feel so youthful with healthy hair. Great location for lunch and/​or shopping after my appointment. Downtown San Francisco is so exciting! I drive all the way from Burlingame just for her services.

Sheila has magic scissors. I felt like she cut about 5 pounds of hair off but my hair looked longer. I hate waiting and I feel like all my other SF salons run at least 15+ minutes behind and take FOREVER because I have a ton of hair. Not here. After Simon from the Wak Shak moved a couple years ago, I’ve been bouncing from one so so salon to another. I’m so happy to have finally found ‘the one’.

Everyone at WINC is fabulous! I have had haircuts and highlights done by Sheila. She is AWESOME!
I went to Jade to get the Japanese Hair Straightening. All my life my hair has always been thick, and curley just in the back. After I got pregnant my whole head got too curly and unmanageable. I hated my hair. So I decided to see Jade. After 3 hours in the chair I couldn’t believe it. My hair was so smooth, soft and straight. I LOVED it! Before I had this done I would normally have to blow dry my hair as straight as I could then use a straightening iron to finish up. That usually took me about 45 minutes each time. After I had my baby I had NO time whatsoever. Now it takes only 5 minutes, to blowdry and it’s done, and I don’t even have to use a straightening iron. You do have to go back for touch ups. It’s been a year for me now and I am just going in my first touch-​up. Yes, it’s lasted this long for me (everyone’s hair is different). Jade does a great job and she is super friendly, they both are! Give Sheila or Jade a call.

Jade is a hair goddess! She changed my overly curly hair into a smooth, sexy, flexible style. If you’re looking for someone to do the Japanese hair straightening method, call Jade and she’ll make you beautiful!
