ABOUT
Mar R., the visionary behind TEAM Hair & Makeup™, embarked on her journey in the late 90s while balancing college aspirations with the pursuit to become a lawyer.
What began as an endeavor to fund her education blossomed into an amazing venture that has reshaped bridal beauty. The pivotal moment arrived in 1999 when Mar was asked to do the hair and makeup of esteemed Oscar nominees. Through word-of-mouth praise, her exceptional artistry attracted celebrities and a high-end clientele, propelling TEAM Hair & Makeup™ into the upper echelons of the wedding industry.
With a keen eye for detail, Mar has personally overseen over 4000 weddings, crisscrossing the globe catering to an array of clients from all backgrounds. From exclusive red-carpet affairs to luxury weddings, her work has graced the pages of publications such as Vogue, Vogue UK, US Magazine, and People. Now leading two teams in Santa Barbara and San Francisco, Mar has elevated TEAM Hair & Makeup™ into a premier bridal beauty brand celebrated for its timeless looks for the most elegant brides.
Mar's commitment to excellence extends behind the bridal suite, evident in the creation of her first product line Cheveux Extensions By Mar over 13 years ago.
