HOME - MAIA BEAUTY

Hi! I’m Paula Alves, a Brazilian hairstylist and makeup artist specializing in weddings, photoshoots, and other special occasions. Born and raised in Brazil, I have been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for the last four years, and I am excited to bring and provide my services directly to you.

I discovered my passion for makeup in 2013 when I would practice on myself, my sister, and other family members and friends. Since then, I decided to dedicate my life to studying and understanding the world of beauty. My love for makeup and hair comes from my desire to boost other women’s self-esteem and self-confidence through their natural beauty and image.

Paula was amazing from the start, replies quickly to messages. And was always on time when we met up, I did two trials with her and the day of the wedding she was always on time. I highly recommend her and can't wait to have her do my makeup again for future events, she's fun to talk to and the quality of her work is amazing!

Paula is an AMAZING artist. She made my hair for my wedding back in 2018 and since then I fell in love with her and her work. As a photographer, I'm often asked for recommendations and Paula is definitely my number 1. I got so lucky to have worked with brides who also hired Paula and her works amazed me every single time.

Paula is an extremely talented makeup artist. She did my makeup and hair for a photoshoot 3 years ago and since then I can't live without her. I've never had such an attentive makeup professional that was detail oriented, creative, kind and as talented as Paula. I highly recommend her for any kind of events.
