Awarded Best of Zola
I am soooo happy I booked Joy as my makeup artist for my wedding. She was super professional. I showed her photos of the look I was going for (natural but still a bit glowy/glam) and she fully executed my vision/made it even better than I could have imagined! My makeup trial was a couple of months before the wedding and was awesome because I was able to make small tweaks for the big day. My makeup honestly looked so perfect throughout my whole wedding day, even after a lot of happy tears! I received countless compliments on my makeup as well and love how everything turned out in photos too. I cannot recommend Joy enough! I also highly recommend booking her and my hairstylist, RiRi (Styled By RiRi, she is the one who helped me book Joy) as a bridal duo! They literally were the best. Thank you so much, Joy! 3

Beauty By Ayleen 
Rating: 5.0 (23 reviews)
  • Starts at $300
  • Serves Carlsbad, CA

Hi! My name is Ayleen and I have been a makeup artist for 5 years. In my few years of experience I have been able to learn a lot from working in photoshoots, along with other artists and at countless weddings. From my first bridal makeup I’ve done on a close friend, I knew that’s what I wanted to do as my job. It took a few years to build my career and I am so glad I chased after my dream of becoming a bridal makeup artist. My favorite part of what I do is being able to be a part of such a special day in your life and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making girls feel their best.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ayleen is such a joy to work with, she’s so sweet and personable, yet professional. She even accommodated a last minute service add on- which I hated to do to her- but she did it with no problem. My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved our Makeup, even my mother in law who is super picky and wanted a minimal “natural” look, was so impressed! Save yourself the run around and just book her, you won’t be disappointed.

Hi! My name is Jena, a hair and makeup artist based in San Diego, California and Napier, New Zealand. Managing my time between these two locations, I've recently established a skilled team to support my services while I’m away. Each stylist has been personally chosen to align with my style - specializing in timeless and romantic hairstyles with textured twists and braids or a classic updo. My makeup services offer both traditional and airbrush options with complimentary lashes and high-end professional products for a long-lasting, flawless finish. This ensures you maintain your best look throughout the entire day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had such a wonderful experience working with Jena as my hair and makeup artist. I did a trial with her a couple of months before the wedding, and she was incredibly patient, attentive, and truly listened to all of my hair and makeup preferences. I ended up making several changes to both my hair and makeup throughout the process, and she was always patient, supportive, and never made me feel like a burden in any way. She was also very responsive and clear in her communication, which made the entire experience feel smooth and stress-free. I was nervous about my hair because it is very thick and coarse, but Jena was so reassuring and knowledgeable. She gave me helpful guidance on how to prep both my hair and skin ahead of time to ensure everything went seamlessly on the wedding day. On the day of, my makeup stayed flawless through many emotional moments, and it never felt cakey or heavy. As someone with acne-prone, sensitive skin, I really appreciated how diligent she was about keeping her brushes clean and disinfected between each service. My hair stayed perfectly up all night! My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law also had their hair and makeup done and were all extremely happy with their results — both from Jena and her assistant stylist. I would absolutely recommend Styling with Jena to any bride who wants to enhance their natural features and feel like the best version of themselves. What she does looks effortless, which truly speaks to the level of skill and technique she brings to her work!!

We also did a trial before hand and the day of my wedding Chelsea listened to all of my concerns from the trial and helped me find my perfect bridal look! If there is anything that I would do a little differently I would make sure there was about 10 more minutes to let Chelsea get pictures and videos of our hair and makeup together! We were a little pressed for time at the end but it was only because Chelsea wanted to make sure I looked perfect and spent her time on me! Chelsea and her team were amazing and I am so grateful I had her with me on my wedding day. Pictures: all to show hair and makeup. Picture with sunglasses is to show makeup after application in the morning and how it lasted all day until 3 am!
