About
Hi there! My name is Vani Leon. I am a CA Licensed Esthetician, specializing in bridal and special event hair and makeup.
I have over a decade of experience doing hair and makeup for weddings, special events, production, tv/film and just about any other occasion you can think of. I’ve had the opportunity to work with men and women from all backgrounds, ages, skin tones and skin types. This has given me a great advantage when bringing your vision to life! I pride myself on my ability to work with a diverse clientele. My approach is to enhance your natural beauty and celebrate what makes you, YOU! I enjoy building a relationship with my clients, and truly believe efficient communication is the key when it comes to executing your vision to perfection.
Whether you want a clean and polished look for a professional event or an elegant and timeless look for your wedding, I will make sure you love what you see in the mirror. I strive to make each and every client feel comfortable, confident and beautiful.

I had the BEST time getting ready with Vani she was super understanding of all of the emotions I went through the morning of my wedding. Calm cool and collected when we were on crunch time! I loved my make up and hair if I could do it all over again I would because it was such a wonderful experience!

Would highly recommend Vani to anyone. She did an amazing job incorporating our feedback from the hair and makeup trial and our hair and makeup was perfect on our wedding day. She’s very experienced in weddings and could give lots of tips on the photography and how the hair and makeup goes with dresses. Super friendly and professional too!

I had the opportunity to book Vani for hair and makeup for my engagement photo shoot. Vani did such an amazing job I will be requesting her again for my bridal shower! I had a couple of skin related concerns but Vani knew exactly what to do. She is extremely skilled at what she does! She is professional and reliable. Thank you Vani!

Vani was incredible! She brought such a calm, professional energy — exactly what we needed so early in the morning. She did hair and makeup for me, my mom, and my sister, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.
We absolutely loved both the makeup and hairstyles — everything looked natural, polished, and photo-ready, without ever feeling heavy or overdone. The entire process was smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Vani if you’re looking for someone reliable, talented, and genuinely lovely to work with!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The pricing that shows up on Thumbtack when inquiring for makeup or hair services ($150) is not for Bridal makeup and hair services; this
is my starting rate for special event/non-bridal services. Makeup is $150 per person, Hair is $125 and up. Bridal hair and makeup services are $575. You can view more detailed rates on my website. The rates reflected on here do not include a travel fee beyond my local radius (I'm based in Concord). I charge a flat rate for locations beyond this area. Once I have your location, I can provide an accurate quote for services and travel fee if applicable.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer, I first consult with them to get a thorough idea of what services they are interested in, provide information, insight, suggestions and answer any questions. I then provide a quote for all requested services. Once the quote has been reviewed and accepted I prepare a contract, and send it to the client for review and approval. Once the contract has been signed and retainer has been paid, the date is officially confirmed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
California Licensed Esthetician since July 2022, professionally trained by Dermalogica.
