Sweet Fuss Hair & Makeup Artistry

Alpha and her team did a wonderful job on myself, my bridal party, and our mothers. They made us all look so beautiful! Alpha also did a teriffic job on me during my bridal trial session. She was very professional throughout the whole wedding planning process. She is very personable and makes you feel at ease when getting your hair and make up done. I would highly recommend her especially if you want to look your best on your special day. Thanks Alpha!

Alpha not only did a fantastic job with my hair and make-up but she was also very professional, SUPER easy to get along with, and very supportive. She was a body of positive energy matched with a grounded calm that made my stressful and exciting day absolutely PERFECT! She constantly checked in with my comfort level and executed my hair and make-up exactly the way I had envisioned it. I couldn't have asked for a more pleasant experience. Alpha was exactly the type of person I needed and wanted to be there for my special day and I will be sure to use her again for any event where I want to look my best.

In the beginning, I chose Alpha for my hair and my makeup because she has an amazing website with tons of beautiful pictures of her work and second because she had a lot of great feedback from brides who had used her services previously. Looking back, I know that I made the best decision choosing Alpha for many more reasons. I work a lot and a hair and makeup trial during the work week was going to be a huge challenge for me, especially since I live in Glendale and she is in Orange County. Alpha arranged to drive all the way up to my house and do the trial in my dining room after I got off work. She showed up early, brought her own lighting to achieve ideal results, and tolerated my Boston Terrier sniffing around underneath the table chewing on a squeaky toy. I'm not totally into makeup and I don't normally wear too much, and Alpha was able to translate my personality into a glam makeup look that did not make me feel too made up or overdone. On the wedding day, it was more of the same. Alpha showed up early and powered through my mom's makeup, my best friend's hair and makeup, my niece's hair *phew* and then my hair and makeup! She is so passionate about what she does, and somehow manages to make the experience feel relaxing and mellow - which is exactly what a bride needs on her wedding day. To have spent my wedding day getting beautiful with all of my favorite ladies and enjoying every minute of it was priceless to me. Everyone loved their hair and makeup, we probably all consumed too many See's candies and macaroons in the process and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you are at all hesitant because the cost may seem high, let me assure you that it is more than worth it. Alpha is as skillful as she is fun, and I truly believe that this was a wedding expense that was worth more than what I paid. Thank you Alpha for giving me everything that I wanted in a wedding look and wedding hair and makeup experience.

I LOVED working w/Alpha! She has a very pleasant personality & answered any questions or concerns that I had. On the day of m wedding she did everything I asked of her and more. My wedding makeup still looked great when the wedding was over which was my biggest concern.

I love Alpha! I don't even know where to begin! She is such an amazing person, so down-to-earth, professional, talented, and always happy. I am so happy that she played such a huge part for my wedding. Alpha's super talented with make-up and hair. I am definitely not the type of girl who puts on make-up regularly or even gets her hair done (ever!). The day of the trial, Alpha knew exactly what makeup would work perfectly and I loved it! It was not heavy, it was perfect! I let her know that I wanted a braid as part of my hairstyle and what she did was AMAZING! It was better than all other pictures I've looked through. I really didn't want to wash off the make-up or take out my hair at night!! One of my friends told me to leave my hair longer so that I have more styles to choose from...I felt really bad because I think I left it too long but Alpha didn't complain at all! She worked super hard to give me the most beautiful hairstyle ever! On the day of the wedding, she came early with her assistants to set up and started working her magic with the moms and bridesmaids. Alpha and the assistants were super nice, professional, and laughed with us the whole time. They refused to eat until they've finished with all of us...it was 4pm when we were done! We were running late but she was there to make sure I was perfect before letting me walk out the door. All my moms and bridesmaids loved their hair and make-up too! I really truly felt beautiful the day of my wedding and Alpha made it all happen. I told my husband that if I ever need hair and make-up done again, I'm going with Alpha in a heartbeat because SHE IS AMAZING!

I love Alpha and I would like her to come every morning to do my makeup. Alpha was my MUA for my July 7, 2011 Dana Point wedding. I originally found her via Weddingwire as well as Yelp. I am a makeup novice. I only wear lipstick and @ times tinted moisturizer, so I needed a MUA to ensure I didn't look washed out for my wedding pictures. Alpha worked her magic on myself as well as my MOH. We looked like Super Models. Due to her artisty, my makeup was spot on even @ my wedding dinner(7-10pm).(The only touch-up I made was to add more lipstick @ the dinner.) And that is amazing considering my makeup was completed @ 12:30pm. That's before I helped to setup chairs, took photos @ the beach, and ran around like a crazed frazzled bride until we married @ 6pm. I can't say enough of Alpha's professionalism(invoices, contracts, and paypal) as well as her friendly and warm personality(we were laughing and talking the entire time.) I can't wait to book her for another event. Thank you Alpha for turning this plain Jane into a Super Model bride.

Alpha and her team were absolutely amazing!!! I used them for my wedding in Temecula on June 10, 2011. She and her team did hair and make up for the entire bridal party. They were fun, professional, and did an amazing job. I received so many comments at the wedding about how great my hair and make up were, and I am now receiving them after friends are viewing the pictures. Thank you Alpha and Team for the wonderful job you did, I strongly reccommend them to anyone!!!!

I love Alpha! She is such an awesome hairstylist and make up artist. I used her for a last minute session and she was able to coordinate me in on a holiday weekend. She did exactly what I wanted with my make up and hair look. I would definitely recommend her to others. She was super fun and I felt like we were long time friends. Thanks Alpha for everything!!! You rock, Love Evelyn Perez

I had Alpha do my hair for my best friend's wedding. She drove an hour out of her way to do my hair and the bride's hair. Alpha is a very sweet person. She was easy to talk to and make suggestion to. She had a great sense of humor. She made my hair look 10 times better than I could ever have. I was really surprise by her act of kindness when she travel to the wedding site to make sure our hair made it safely to the country club. I will be calling her again if I have another event. Thank you so much Alpha.

Alpha is a wonderful artist to work with! I've gone to her for a hair cut, had her do my makeup for my engagement shoot (11/20/10), and had her do my hair and makeup for my wedding as well (5/21/11). She's fun and professional, and soooo easy to work with. She and her team traveled to our hotel on the morning of my wedding. They were quick to set up, super efficient, and did an awesome job. All my girls, along with my mom, looked absolutely fabulous! And I loved everything that Alpha did for my hair and makeup. I wanted a wow factor and asked her to make my eyes look as big as possible, and voila! Lashes for days! She nailed the look I was going for and I couldn't be happier! She was at hand after the ceremony as well, wearing her handy dandy makeup tool belt, armed and ready for necessary touch ups. I think this is a wonderful service she provides for her brides at no extra cost. I discovered that she doesn't book more than one wedding a day, because she truly wants her brides to feel special and give them the proper attention they need on their special day. Isn't that awesome?? I didn't want to wear my veil during the reception, but I didn't have a hairpiece to add that special touch. Alpha came up with a great idea and took flowers from my toss bouquet and designed a cute hairpiece of her own. She was truly amazing, and she made me feel that much more beautiful on the best day of my life. Thank you for everything, Alpha! BTW - she also cuts hair, so if you're in the Long Beach area, make an appointment with her!

If you're looking for a very creative, talented and professional hair and makeup artist for your wedding, look no further! Alpha and her team at Sweet Fuss are the best! Not only is Alpha talented and professional, she is very easy to talk to and flexible. I was really unsure about how to do my hair and makeup and Alpha was very patient with me and helped me figure out the "perfect look" that I wanted. I also had an unusually large wedding party (15 bridesmaids!) and Sweet Fuss was able to make us all look beautiful in time for my wedding without sacrificing quality. Alpha also offers personal assistance by touching up your hair, makeup, dress, veil, etc. before and after your ceremony which was a godsend for me since I knew I would be a mess. I also found a stain on my dress right before I walked down the aisle and Alpha was ready with a Tide stain remover pen in her handy dandy emergency kit! What else are you looking for?!? Book Alpha and her team today!

Amazing wouldn't do Alpha any justice. She is very attentive and her attention to detail is great. She made me look like a princess and I am so pleased with her work. Not only is she a wonderful professional, but a lovely person in general. She uses great products and makes sure you are comfortable through the whole process. She is so helpful and is very accommodating to any beauty needs or requests. She certainly shows that she is passionate about her work. I had a wonderful time getting to know her! Alpha will definitely make you look fabulous!!!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Alpha for my wedding on February 26, 2011. She is such a talented hair and make up artist. I found her through Yelp when I was doing my research for a wedding hair and make up artist. When I first inquired about her services, Alpha was always so quick to respond and was very friendly. She did my hair and make up for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. My husband was very impressed with the way I looked as well. She's not just someone who does my hair and make up but we've had quite a few good laughs together. I definitely had a good time with her! The morning of the wedding, she met me and my maid of honor in our hotel room. She set her stuff up and started working on my MOH first. After that, it was my turn. I was so excited and definitely had a lot of butterflies in my stomach. After all, isn't this every girls' dream? I've found the man of my dreams! :) Alpha is a very great person to work with. She made me feel so comfortable on my wedding day. My mom also came to the hotel because I wanted her to help me get my dress on. Little did I know, she didn't know how to tie a corset dress! For a second, I got stressed out. But in a calm voice, Alpha told my mom how to do it and they both did it together. I loved how she approached my mom in a calming voice. Otherwise, my stress level would have definitely increased! She then met us at the church and just kept applying touch ups as needed. She was with me right up until our reception. Alpha is so down to earth and definitely someone I would recommend to anyone getting married or just wanna get made up for a special day. Thanks Alpha! See you soon! :)

I recently got married this past December and Alpha was absolutely amazing! My original hairstylist backed out on me 3 weeks before the wedding. I called up Alpha and she was SO accommodating and was able to do the day of my wedding. After I gave her the necessary details, the turnaround for the contract and scheduling the trial was so quick! Alpha has definitely got some GREAT talent and a WONDERFUL personality. For the quality of the service, the price is definitely right! The fact that she came to my venue to make sure I was absolutely FLAWLESS before I walked down the aisle was an added plus! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alpha to anyone wants to look absolutely stunning for their wedding or special event!

I did a boudoir photo-shoot a couple a months ago with Alpha going into it a bit shy and intimidated by the whole thing. As soon as I sat in the chair, she made me feel sooo comfortable. Her vibe and personality made me feel like I had nothing to worry about. Her calmness made me calm and that's exactly what I needed on a day like this. She took her time with my make-up, attaching each individual eyelash with precision. But what I loved most was the make-up. I'm a person who doesn't wear a lot of make-up, and in the end result of her finishing, she made my skin look incredibly amazing, the make-up didn't look caked on, and her vision for my hair was spot on. I felt glamourous. What i love about Alpha is that she really does know her hair and make-up and personalizes it to that individuals features. Thanks Alpha!

Words cannot express just how truly lovely Alpha is and how wonderfully talented she is at what she does. I used Sweet Fuss services for my Fall 2010 wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula. I like many other brides believe that hair and makeup is just as important as the wedding dress itself so in no way was I not going to search for the best of the best. Luckily I found that with Alpha and her super sweet personality and her extremely professional manner. When you choose Alpha as your hair and makeup professional you are not only getting her services for one or two hours it may take to get you beautiful. She as well will stay with you for a few hours after to help do touch up after the ceremony or before picture taking. That was the cherry on top for me for sure!! Alpha was such a big help to me on my wedding day and I am truly grateful to her for everything she did. I have always been a girl who doesn’t wear much makeup or get my hair professional styled very often so it was hard for me to describe precisely what I wanted to look like on my wedding day. My terminology was horribly wrong but sweet Alpha listened to everything I said and was able to create a look for me that was perfect and exactly what I wanted and dreamed of for my special day. Working with Alpha feels more like two old friends hanging out playing dress-up instead of some business agreement where she is only there to do one thing, get paid, and leave. I am so lucky to have found Alpha for my wedding and can only hope anyone who reads all these amazing reviews will also hire her and her team to make their special occasion unforgettable. Thank you Alpha and I hope we will get to work together again!!!! YOU ROCK : ) -Kasey

Alpha did my hair and make-up for my September wedding. Alpha is a talented woman and takes the time to understand what you are looking for and capturing that in her art – you! She is professional, calm, cheery and an absolute sweet heart, exactly who you want to have in your bridal suite (yes, she comes to your venue!) on your BIG day. Alpha dolled me up and I have never felt more stunning! She went above and beyond in stepping in to help however she could that day. After a photo shoot in 100+ degree weather, she fixed my hair and reapplied my make-up before I walked down the aisle to make sure I looked flawless. I also want to note that the makeup photographed beautifully. Alpha is passionate about her work and takes pride in it! I will continue to recommend her to any bride-to-be! Thank you Alpha!

Alpha and Brie were amazing! They were so much fun and do such incredible work. I was part of a bridal party, and I absolutely loved the way my hair and makeup turned out. Alpha and Brie were really flexible with both specific requests or more general requests. The pictures came out great and my hair/makeup stayed put all day long. Alpha and her team were professional, personable, and a lot of fun - they are definitely the ones you want taking care of you on your wedding day!

I work in the entertainment industry and have had the pleasure of working with many talented celebrity makeup artists for my client. When I heard about Alpha, I checked out her website and was immediately impressed by her work. My friend was getting married, so I told her about Sweet Fuss and said she should have a trial session with Alpha. My friend did so and immediately booked her for the wedding for herself, mother of the bride, and bridal party. The day of the wedding, Alpha was a total doll! She was friendly, fun, and professional. Everyone's makeup was impeccable as Alpha knows how to bring out each person's best features. The makeup not only looked good, but photographed extremely well......and it lasted all day and night! You can just tell how much she loves what she does and how much pride she has in her work. Alpha is definitely on par with some of the best celebrity makeup artists in the business. Not only are her technical skills impressive, but her attitude and personality make her easy and comfortable to be around. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a hair/makeup artist for any occasion or event, and I will be letting all my friends know about Sweet Fuss!
