Freebird Productions

I booked Tia for my wedding and her work was ah-​mazing! It was everything I wanted, without me even telling her what I did/​did not want or bringing her pictures. She did hair and make-​up for me and my 3 bridesmaids in downtown Los Gatos.
I booked her without meeting her and that decision was based on Unilocal reviews as well as email correspondences from her. By the way, she’s not big on technology and it was difficult to get a hold of her several weeks before my wedding (she was in an area with no cell phone signals nor internet), but she had not forgotten about the date and she did apologize.
She does offer hair and make-​up trials ($ 250), but she is confident in her skills and told me to save that money as she has been doing what she does for 24 years. I trusted her and you should too. When you book Tia, you won’t need to do a trial. Trust.
For the day of, we met at 6AM but due to a key-​stuck-​in-​door incident, we were unable to use the $ 50 room I had paid for us to hang-​out and get our hair & make-​up done. As a result, we started at 6:30 and was able to use the room next door which was fine.
Tia first curled and set all of our hair and then she proceeded to beautify us. She did not use too much make-​up and definitely did not «cake it on.» She went for a natural, glowy, sun-​kissed look and it worked for all of us. For hair, she just did her thing (again, us not really giving her any direction) and we all looked great.
When I booked Tia, I showed her a picture of a headpiece I was thinking of wearing and she offered to make me one (deposit of $ 50 for her time & materials). The day of, she presented me with 4 very different headpieces and I got to choose which one I liked. I absolutely loved the creations she made, all very different and all very lovely.
When she was done, off we went to the ceremony and she was there until the end, doing touch-​ups to me as needed. Again, when I booked her, she had stated that she would be with me throughout the day, but I had asked her twice if she would stay with me for the reception (later that evening) and she declined. Instead, she touched me up one last time and gave me a brush, pressed powder and the lip gloss she used on me. I guess I didn’t really need her during the night, but I was under the impression that she was going to be there, since she had stated it in the emails.
Overall, Tia does do an amazing job. She will bring out the natural beauty in you and will make you look fresh and even more beautiful.

Tia styled my Fiancé and I for a photo shoot and words can not express how amazing she is as a stylist. She not only chose our wardrobe, style our hair, did our makeup, but she also brings amazing energy to the shoot. Tanja Lippert shot the photography and the two are an AMAZING team! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tia and Freebird Productions to anyone!

Tia is absolutely great! She did an amazing makeup job at my wedding last month (September 2010). My makeup was natural, romantic and gorgeous. When I looked in the mirror after she was done, I was speechless, the reflection was stunning and it was ME! Tia also beautified my mom and my mom looked about 10 years younger and glowing.
Besides her great skills, Tia is a breeze to work with. She radiates warmth! I felt like I knew her for years! She may not be your conventional black pants/​black t-​shirt/​fake smile makeup artist, but if I had to do this all over again, without a doubt Tia would be there again!
Two thumbs up and highly recommended! and the best part her fee is very reasonable!

Tia is amazing. Without seeing pictures I absolutely know she was THE person to go with for our wedding. Guests on the day of were asking if they could take her home with them… She made everyone look fabulous and was lovely to be with throughout the entire day. Can’t thank her and Tanja enough!

Tia did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was so in love. My hair was romantic and was perfect with my dress and accessories! My makeup was very natural and perfect in so many friend’s pictures. I looked and felt amazing that day and it’s all thanks to Tia! Tia also did 6 of my bridesmaid’s hair and they looked VA VA VOOM incredible! We got sooo many compliments all day. She works hard for the money so you should book her and Tanja Lippert for photos if you want to look and feel like a queen on your wedding day!!! Thanks Tia!!!

If you are looking for a soft, natural, vintage-​y Hollywood glam look, then Tia Reagan is your go-​to. She is enormously talented, laid back and fun to work with. (Has an amazing voice, too, once you get the music going.) Tia is not heavy-​handed in any way: makeup, suggestions, etc. She is a total artist. She did a phenomenal job with not only my own hair and makeup for the wedding, but everyone can’t stop raving about all the bridesmaids’ hairstyles as well, which she thoughtfully crafted around my look. Most importantly, I still looked and felt like myself – no comments from guests like «you look like another person!» Now, the only reason I am giving Tia one less star is because she was 30″ late on the day-​of. She said she had a hard time finding my house, but I wished she had called to let me know that she was lost… As a result, we lost precious time and we were taking pictures before the wedding. Nevertheless, Tia is GREAT and I highly recommend you consider her for your own wedding – or at least start with a trial. You’ll see what I’m raving about. ;-)

Wow…
Didn’t actually get to the point of using her services, but initial interactions via email were short, rude at times and very unprofessional. She gave off a vibe that her schedule and time is more important than mine. When I asked for a trial prior to my June 5, 2010 wedding (MORE THEN A YEAR AWAY). She told me «we may be abale to squeeze in a trial by before then… i have so few dates left that i will have to spend a few minutes in my planner to see where and when i can do a trial with you.»
Notice all the misspellings and lack of capitalization. I guess from talking to so many vendors over the last two months I expect a more proper and positive response? Maybe just me.
I then told her she sounded to busy to help me, she wrote me back and told me to re-​read her last few emails and that I should have read all of the words. Maybe a email mis-​understanding, but wow I took it as flippant and rude.
Anyhow she might be an amazing make-​up artist, but seems to busy to take on any new clientele and is horrible at customer service! I recommend
Sara at make up by blush. She has been such a pleasure to work with in the preliminary process of finding a hair and make-​up artist for my wedding and her Unilocal and word of mouth reviews are awesome!!! :)
Her response after I told her she sounded to busy to help me and thanks anyway…
«wow…that is the strangest response… you are the one who misunderstood in the first place… i was merely setting you straight on the facts… and, no, i am actually one of the easiest to work with in the Biz, as well as the best… your loss, sister… tia»
No comment on the above, speaks for itself

PLEASE invest in Tia to style your hair and makeup for any event you want to look super hot at. You will NOT be disappointed. She doesn’t just apply a ton of make-​up like most cosmetics counters, but brings out the natural beauty or vixen within all of us.
Down-​to-​earth and great at what she does, she gets you photo-​shoot ready and always at hand to swipe away that tendril that got away in the wind. SOOOOO much better than just using a salon stylist that is only there with you before the wedding. Tia was there throughout and was always keeping my lips refreshed with gloss.
A BIG hint is to use her friend to photograph your special event, Tanja Lippert. Check out her impressive work at
