OC Beauty by Elizabeth

The business is run by its owner, Elizabeth, who specializes in bridal hair and makeup and leads a team of lead stylists. Based in Irvine, it says it will travel anywhere for weddings.

Hair services include updos, Hollywood waves, braided styles and soft wavy looks, shaped to the wedding theme and each bride's personal style. Makeup can be applied by airbrush or by traditional methods, and the business says its makeup suits all skin types and sensitivities. Its stated view is that makeup should bring out a client's natural beauty.

For weddings away from the studio, the team provides hair and makeup for the bridal party at the venue and brings its own chairs and lighting. On-site pricing is given by personal quote on request. Trials and consultations take place at the owner's home studio in Irvine.

Bridal packages start at $425, and a bridal hair and makeup trial costs $200. To book, clients email the business, which says it usually replies within 24 hours; it asks for the wedding date, location and any requests in that first message. The business describes itself as award-winning and says it has hundreds of reviews on The Knot, WeddingWire, Yelp and Zola.

Makeup is meant to enhance each client's natural look, using either airbrush or traditional application.
