I am truly, truly grateful for Aimee! From my trial for our engagement photos to my actual wedding day, she worked her magic and made me look and feel amazing. Her skill and artistry are incredible--she knows exactly how to enhance your natural beauty while making you feel completely at ease. On my wedding day, I was feeling under the weather, but Aimee worked her magic and made me look so fresh and radiant. I can't thank her enough for being so sweet, thoughtful, and caring throughout the entire process. She wasn't just my makeup artist--she was my fairy godmother! read more

Aimee is AMAZING! I am not that comfortable with makeup as I'm not very good at doing my own, but I still like to get done up. This creates a tricky balance of not feeling comfortable in a ton of makeup but still want enough to feel done up and special. Aimee absolutely nailed it! I felt SO truly beautiful allllll day on my wedding day and still 100% myself. I cannot thank her enough for helping me feel so beautiful on my special day. I did not know much that would be helpful going into our trial and she was able to find the perfect process for my makeup and deal with my mind changing on hair style with extensions seamlessly. Aimee is so so talented and was also such a joy to just be around! Whether hair and makeup makes you nervous like me or if you feel good in that space but are looking for the right person, I know Aimee can provide an excellent service! I recommend her so much that I'm going back to her for a lesson to try and learn from her expertise. So talented and a wonderful, positive person to start your wedding day with! Miss you already, Aimee! read more

Aimee saved me! I had originally booked hair & make up services with another artist who pulled some shady moves on me a few weeks prior to our wedding. In a panic, I reached out to Aimee who happened to have availability because she had previously blocked off her August due to personal time off but her plans changed last minute. It was fate. Thank goodness I ended up in Aimee's hands. She is so thoughtful, kind, professional, funny, and TALENTED. She did an amazing job on my hair during the trial and somehow it came out even better on my actual wedding day! My bridesmaids, mother, mother in law and sister in law raved about her and her team. Do not hesitate to book Aimee if you can, she is absolutely wonderful to work with! read more

Aimee is an angel! I found her through a recommendation from my friend. I booked her for my wedding and she did both my makeup and hair. We decided to forego the makeup trial so she went based off of pictures and a video call. We texted back and forth leading up to the day and she made me feel like she really cared about the look I was going for and how I wanted to feel. It was exactly what I wanted! My makeup lasted all day and was perfect in pictures. I would definitely use her again! Thank you Aimee! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Aimee for my wedding, and it was an even better experience than I could have hoped for. She was so attentive to what I wanted and asked for, communicated with me extensively, and then went above and beyond in looking out for me! Prior to the hair and makeup trial, she made sure to check in with me about the health and style of my hair and after the trial, she even recommended some options for toning and cutting my hair so that it was the optimal color and length for what I wanted.  I came into the trial not knowing what hair style I wanted, but Aimee was able to help me decide by providing pros and cons for each style and recommending what would look best with the dress I had chosen. When I made a request to loosen some parts of the updo during the trial, she listened closely and even remembered to recreate it in that way on the day of my wedding. She also presented and recommended tasteful hair pieces to add to the beauty of the look, and on the day of my wedding, the hairpieces were an amazing touch. I knew I wanted to hire Aimee to do my hair, and I'm so grateful she was available, and I appreciate how much thoughtfulness and consideration she brought into the service. Her skill with makeup highlighted new ways to bring out my features and made me feel so so pretty! She paid extra attention to the areas I am self conscious about and made sure my oily/dry areas were kept under control. The touch up kit she gave me included everything I needed for the day, and it was such a considerate addition to the already immaculate service.  I am so grateful to have been able to work with Aimee and I can't wait to work with her again in the future! read more

Aimee was SUCH a joy to work with!! She takes great care and pride in her work and it clearly shows in the beauty she creates for her clients. The look she created felt so naturally elegant, timeless and uniquely crafted for me. I am still shocked at how she managed to create such soft textures to show in my extremely dark black hair! Aimee's process is extremely detail oriented and personalized. She will send a questionnaire to complete before the trial so that she can get an understanding of what the bride wants. From the very beginning, Aimee was kind, informative, and relaxing. We talked at lengths about the pros/cons of different hairstyles and which would look best with my dresses. She made me feel very comfortable and despite not understanding much about make-up, she explained to me her process and created my ideal look! Aimee was so sweet and thoughtful, I felt I even gained a new friend! The time I spent getting ready with her always flew by with lots of giggles and fun. read more

Aimee is the absolute best! She did my hair and makeup for both my engagement photoshoot and my wedding day, and we had the pleasure of working with her for my sister's wedding a few years ago. Aimee is the perfect partner for so many reasons: Attention to detail: From the moment we connected, Aimee's thoroughness was clear. She sends a detailed survey before you even step into her studio, ensuring she understands exactly what you're looking for. After our trial, she followed up with incredibly detailed notes and instructions to help me prepare for the big day. When the wedding day came, she was receptive to the feedback from our trial and made sure every detail was perfect. Warm and calming presence: Aimee has such a calming energy, which made a huge difference on a busy and emotional day. She made sure I felt completely at ease throughout the process, and she treated my family with so much kindness and respect. Her warmth made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. Beautiful execution: My makeup and hair held up beautifully from the ceremony through to the reception--despite warm weather, emotional moments, dancing, and more. Aimee also provided a thoughtful touch-up kit to ensure everything stayed perfect throughout the day, along with tips for maintaining the look. Aimee's unmatched attention to detail, talent, and warmth made her a joy to work with. I highly recommend her for any special occasion! read more

I cannot express how wonderful Aimee was for my wedding and engagement photos! Her hair and makeup services are top notch. She is truly a professional, listens to what you want, provides feedback on why certain looks may or may not work, and comes up with a plan of action. She was the first vendor I had reached out to, and after comparing dozens of others' styles and costs, I came back to Aimee and am SO GLAD I did. She was extremely communicative leading up to the wedding, during, and after. Due to traffic some of our other vendors were late, Aimee stepped in and took photos and video of some key moments that our photographer and videographer weren't around for. She was such a pleasure and I could not sing her praises higher. It was very important for me to look and feel like myself on the wedding day and I had been hesitant on fake lashes and hair extensions. She incorporated them beautifully, and helped me reach the most natural yet super glam look. Her team also provided hair and makeup services for our wedding party and mother of the bride, and we were all extremely pleased with the outcome. On top of it all, she is super sweet and calming which was so helpful as wedding are inherently stressful. Thank you, Aimee, for being such a fantastic part of our wedding. read more

Aimee is the absolute best!!! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding day, and both lasted all day and night. My day started at 9 AM and ended at 11 PM. I just needed to touch up my lipstick now and then. I also had a mosquito bite that was healing still on my nose, and she did such a great job concealing it! No one noticed at all. She is so sweet, professional, and listened to what I wanted when I asked for a natural glam look. For my hair, I asked for a half-up half-down look and she did a beautiful job. She added hair extensions and they made a huge difference! I would highly recommend Aimee to any bride!!! read more

If you're looking for someone to do you hair and makeup for your wedding, engagement shoot, or any event for that matter - look no further. Aimee is not only incredibly talented, professional and detail oriented she is also astoundingly sweet, thoughtful, calming and is such an absolute pleasure to work with. From my initial email inquiry to do my hair and makeup for my wedding to the day of the wedding, Aimee made the whole process a breeze and stress free. She was so easy to talk do when I first met her for my trial and it was so easy to connect with her and feel comfortable with her. I initially did an updo for my trial and one week before my wedding I nervously texted Aimee and told her I wanted to change my look completely and sent new inspiration looks for her feedback. She was immediately on board and excited about the new look, which put me at ease and took away any feelings of anxiousness I had. Bay Area prices for anything wedding related can be quite a sticker shock, but compared to a lot of other artists out there I felt like Aimee's prices were well within reason, especially given her years of experience and portfolio. I've never been a big hair and makeup girl, but both play such an important part of one's wedding and it's definitely worth spending the money to hire someone who can give you the best experience and deliver what you want. She gave me a very natural, yet glamorous look and I was on cloud nine when I saw the end result. I truly felt so beautiful. Her and her team did an impeccable job for me and all my girls and we looked flawless. It was amazing to start off my big day with Aimee and I couldn't have dreamed of working with anyone better. Aimee goes above and beyond for you and when I unexpectedly had an emergency with my makeup that night, she was quick to respond and even FaceTimed with me to help me fix it. Without a doubt Aimee is the best and I'm now looking for any reason to work with her again! read more

Aimee is amazing! My skin was glowing and my makeup and hair held up through the entire night. As a personal tip, I got a balayage before the wedding and it helps bring out the color and dimension so much more. It makes all the intricacies a lot more noticeable and it added some texture so my hair didn't move all night. Aimee did such an amazing job and has a huge eye for detail. The trial was already gorgeous but she helped spot little details and changes that helped make the look complete. Not only was the outcome amazing, but Aimee was so easy to work with. We had a large bridesmaid crew and she scheduled it perfectly so that we finished right at the estimated time. The moms were so happy all night with their look! Aimee helped take all the stress away on the big day. Grace, her assistant, was also amazing and gave all the bridesmaids such beautiful hair. read more

Finally getting around to writing this long overdue review! I got married back in June and hired Aimee for my wedding. Initially, I thought she was too expensive for me but then I realized that the Bay Area is just expensive for everything haha. In the end, the care and thoughtfulness Aimee put into my wedding day was so worth the price. I first got my hair and make up done by Aimee at the trial, which I then went to my engagement shoot with. Aimee is seriously the sweetest person ever! She takes her time with you to really get to know you and understand what you like/dislike. Before the trial, she asked me to send her photos of myself and inspo pictures as well as had me answer some questions about my tastes so she could be prepared. She is definitely skilled at creating that natural make up look but I told her that I wanted a little more dramatic on the eyes and she nailed it. I loved both my hair and make up! And anytime before the wedding if I had questions about anything, she would quickly answer and help me as much as she could. During the wedding, I had 5 bridesmaids and 2 mothers doing their hair and make up. Aimee made sure to hire enough associates for all the bridal group to ensure that everyone could get done in a timely manner but not have to wake up in the wee hours of the morning. I appreciate how she cares for you as a client and she really made me feel like she was just a friend who was doing my hair/make up. In between my trial and wedding, Aimee actually asked me to be a hair model for her while she was taking a class. I love that she continues to perfect her craft by learning more and it was very cool to see the process! It truly is an art what she does. If you get a chance to book her, you won't regret it! read more

So far Aimee has done my trial hair and makeup and I'm loving it. I did it the same day that I got my engagement photos. I look forward to seeing more of her excellent work on my wedding day! Aimee is super friendly in person and very responsive via text and email. Her prices are reasonable. Her studio is beautiful, modern, and clean. It's a really nice ambiance to work in. I had a great rapport with her and the session was very comfortable and enjoyable. Aimee's skills are also top-notch. She worked quickly and efficiently, and most amazingly, the makeup and hair lasted several hours in windy Big Sur! I left her studio at 1PM, drove home then went to Big Sur at 4PM. Photoshoot lasted until nearly 7PM. Even though Big Sur was windy, my hair stayed put throughout the entire shoot. Even though I drank (and kissed for the engagement photoshoot), the lipstick didn't budge at all! I didn't need to reapply, and I didn't need to re-pin my hair (an updo). Whatever she's using for makeup, they work! As for her work, you can see for yourself with the photos I've posted. read more

Aimee is not just a talented makeup and hair artist but she will also become your good friend. That's exactly how I feel when Aimee did my makeup and hair for my engagement/ wedding photoshoot. I'm always a nervous wreck for important moments like this but Aimee has the magic power to make me feel so calm and at ease. She's like a bridesmaid to me and encourage me during the photo and even hold my bouquet and fixed my dresses. She's just the sweetest girl on earth!! I'll be using Aimee for all my future make up and hair need and will recommend to all my friends and family! Thank you Aimee and can't wait to see you again soon! read more

When my sister hired Aimee has her MUA almost a decade ago, I remember enjoying her make up so much that I wanted mine to be as beautiful when I married someday. When it came to my wedding, I had to check with my sister to make sure Aimee was the same Aimee and sure enough, yes! At first the price deterred me away but I really wanted to hire her because of how talented she was and I'm glad I did! My family and I loved all of our makeup and hairdo on the day of. I first started off with a hair and makeup trial. Aimee gave me some tips and pointers whenever I had questions and she checked if everything was what I wanted. She is such a fun, caring, and the sweetest person to talk to. I really enjoyed my trial and she made sure I was comfortable in her studio :). Even though we had fun, Aimee stayed very professional and attentive throughout the process from start to finish. At one point my family had last minute changes but Aimee was able to accommodate the requests. When it came to the wedding day, I was not feeling well on the morning of but Aimee made me felt so cared for. She reminded me to take sips of water and tried to calm my nerves down. I really appreciate and love how she treated me like a sister instead of just another client. Now when I look back on my photos, I'm glad Aimee was my MUA because she made me look so beautiful/glammed up :). Thank you so much, Aimee! I encourage you to book Aimee for your future wedding and engagement! :) read more

Aimee is a true professional in her field. She is an artist, and has the ability to reveal the most beautiful version of your self. She listens attentively and incorporates every bit of feedback into her work. In this way, was excellent at working collaboratively to turn my vision into a reality for my wedding day. I have been telling all my friends how I never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I didn't look like a different person, just myself but better. If you are seeking someone who listen carefully to what you want to accomplish, who can bring out your best features, who can chose the best color products for your skin tone, who can offers suggestions based on your hair type/texture, and who has years of experience, Aimee is the one for you! Beyond her skills and artistic eye, Aimee's peaceful and calming demeanor was an added bonus that really helped me through my wedding day. I felt really nervous about the event, but she helped me feel so comfortable and at ease. I just adore Aimee, and I will always remember how happy and beautiful she made me feel. She helped make my wedding day the best day of my life. While I don't always like looking at pictures of myself, because of Aimee's work, I actually love seeing pictures from my wedding. Booking Aimee was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I highly, highly encourage others to do the same. You'll be glad you did! read more

I've known Aimee for about 5 years now and she has always been my go-to makeup artist. She is a phenomenal hairstylist as well. We've done numerous events and photo shoots together and I'm always blown away by her artistry. I wish she was my roommate so she could do my hair and makeup every day! I've recommended her to numerous brides-to-be and everyone has loved working with her. It doesn't matter which ethnicity you are - she knows exactly what colors will complement your skin tone and enhances all of your best features. She is also one of the sweetest and most adorable women I know. She will make you look and feel your best on your big day. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping me find Aimee, and thank you Aimee for making me look better than I'll probably ever look again. Aimee did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she was a joy to work with. She also did my bridesmaids makeup and my mother's hair. During the trial, she listened to what I wanted and took the time make sure that my hair and makeup was how I wanted it. She was also fun to talk to, which is important because hair and makeup takes a long time! On my wedding day, Aimee was calm and helpful and made everyone look beautiful! She also seems to be good at choosing the right makeup for different skin tones. Her prices are reasonable, she was reliable and on time on my wedding day, and I was very pleased with my hair and makeup. I just wish I had more special occasions so I could hire her again. read more

Aimee Makeup Artistry - My wedding hair and makeup, photo taken by my husband - Makeup Artists Near Me

So guess what... I model! And models need their makeup done for them. Haven't you seen Zoolander? We're just monkeys (cept me I'm a Panda)! (Damn FINE monkeys). I met Aimee during a shoot in San Jose, here's what happened: The photo shoot...it was a japanese-style fight scene. Cool, huh? It would have been even more awesome if the damn makeup artist and hair stylist showed up. And they didn't. So Alex (the photographer) called Aimee--and to the rescue!!!! She did such a wonderful job on the other model--I mean, really. Her hair was put up exactly the way they wanted it for the shoot, her makeup so well done. What is great about a damn good artist like that is just how gentle they are. She had a ton of makeup, hair supplies, and knew just what she was doing. She even put fake eyelashes on me for the shoot!! I've never worn fakes before, primarily because I'm a dumbass and would have screwed that shit up for REALS. She is so unbelievably professional, and so cute! I can't wait for the next photo shoot :) To even further convince you of just how good she is, I have her number stored into my phone for future shoots. And yes, there is such a thing as modeling with crappy makeup on. It's called "Jaime decides to do it herself". Since she is a student, she doesn't charge exorberant prices, but she does just as well as the ones who do. Now go ahead, thank me. Oh! And here is her website. No, no...that isn't me in there..thats uh...someone else -_-;; http://www.aimeelam.com/ (I'm very shy) read more

Not too long ago, Aimee and I got together and did a little something-something for her site. This woman is BUSY, but she does a beautiful job on hair, makeup, and photography. She is a total sweetheart, and a perfectionist. I must say--this is one of the few times I've come out of a professional make-up session looking like a woman rather than a drag queen. So, come to Aimee if you want a job well done. She listens to her clients and models, takes care of them, and really knows her stuff. She even got me a pearl milk tea from Fantasia! I might have to call her up when I'm getting married and need to look pretty. Aimee--you're the sweetest, thank you =) read more

I do not know where to begin with Aimee! She know how to work magic and has incredible eyes to make people look beautiful. She's very professional and makes everyone feel comfortable. Her attention to details have made the work much smoother. She is focused, attentive and produce high quality work. Upon my arrival she had the station set up and all ready to go with her assistant. She asked a strategic question about my skin type. Aimee worked swiftly and with purpose. Worked with my skin tone and did an amazing job. She goes above and beyond and truly is passionate about her work. She cares for each individual clients to make their beautiful day the very best!!! She will leave you feeling happy and beautiful. Thank you Aimee. read more

This review is for my bridal hair & makeup. Let me start by saying I consider myself to be pretty adept at doing my own makeup, having trained myself in my teens to apply fake lashes for pageants, to experimenting with professional makeup now every day for work. I know what looks good on my facial features from experience. So when I booked Aimee for my wedding day, my expectations were set very high and I had a natural tinge of doubt that she would be able to "know" my face as well as I did. Well, Aimee erased ALL doubt during my final trial session, and exceeded my expectations on the actual wedding day. Aimee has a natural eye for what looks good, regardless of your ethnicity. That is extremely unique. Most artists who are great doing Caucasian features have 0 skills doing an Asian person's face, and vice versa. Throw in a wrench and give them an Asian face with not-so-Asian features and they have no idea what to do. This was the last thing I wanted to be worrying about on the most heavily-photographed day of my life. With Aimee, I just chilled out in the morning while she worked on me since she had nailed my trial session. Aimee made me feel relaxed and radiant on my big day by giving me a look that was more intense and dramatic than my daily makeup, but still very "me." She and I actually worked together on my hair to create a totally unique updo I envisioned and could find no pictures on Pinterest for (Unbelievable, huh?) The creative process was so fun because Aimee is super patient and eager to make it 100% perfect. She's also a no-nonsense expert and will tell you straight up if something doesn't look good. I love that Aimee is just like me in that there is no moderation -- it's all in, or nothing! My makeup stayed intact all night, and Aimee was sweet enough to actually GIVE me the lip crayon she had used on me, for touchups throughout the reception. Thank you Aimee for making my day absolutely perfect! read more

Aimee Makeup Artistry - Hair & Makeup by Aimee... Thanks Aimee! - Makeup Artists Near Me

Words can't describe how much I adore Aimee's work, and how much I appreciate her service on my wedding day. I have to acknowledge that my bar is quite high for make-up and hair work. It takes a lot for me to say "great", and I will rate Aimee as "incredible". Before coming to Aimee, I spent so much time browsing the profiles of bay area's popular MUA. None of them really impressed me tbh, especially the hair work. When I came across Aimee's profile, I was like "Holy shit, I love it". I booked a trial with her, and I am whole-heartedly in love with the style and look she turned me into, exactly what I want -- an elegant, sweet and warm look that each girl would dream of on her big day. I hired her immediately without any hesitation, and she did not disappoint. She made me look absolutely stunning at the wedding, and I received tons of wow and compliments from almost every single guest. Aimee is extremely talented, skillful, patient, and client-oriented. One thing that I am really touched by was she would look at my engagement photos, analyzed the way the photographer utilize the light, and adjust the makeup to fit the lighting. Very few MUA would do that, and not many MUA has that skill set actually --- Aimee's photography background definitely helps. I am confident to say that you can't go wrong with Aimee for your big day. And guess what, I am booking another 2 photo sessions with her. In the future when I am taking anniversary photos, I will go to no one but her. She won me as a life-time loyal customer. Aimee, thank you. read more

Aimee doesn't just exude positive energy, she is positive energy. I'm happy to say that through the years from being first her client, then her student - she has always treated those around with integrity, generosity, and sincerity. Her work speaks for itself - she knows faces/makeup/hair and she will go above and beyond. But it's her warm and caring personality that makes her one of the top MUAs I've worked with over the years! Even when she has scheduled things back to back, she will make you feel like you're the most important person in her day. I'm glad to know her at different stages of my life through the years. read more

Aimee Lam does it again. And again and again. Aimee did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my wedding, it only made sense that I return to whom I trust for my Encore Session AND boudoir session. My hubby and I decided to do an Encore session since I was recovering from a fractured ankle on our actual wedding day. I wasn't very mobile so we didn't have many couple portraits with the natural backdrop of rolling hills and trees that I so wanted. I gave Aimee barely any direction except for the general look I was going for, what I was wearing and where the shoot was going to be. Aimee worked her magic and the end result was a romantic and soft low up do for my hair and a glamorous yet glowing look for my makeup. It was everything I wanted without even knowing it! Dare I even say I looked better that day than my actual wedding day! This is probably due to the fact that I put my full trust in Aimee to do whatever she felt was best for my hair, face and overall look. And then there was my boudoir session. This is super out of my element and I can pull off cute, but definitely not sexy. Again she asked me what style and colors I'd be wearing and then I gave her full control of my look. Aimee helped bring out my inner sexy by giving me sultry smokey eyes and loose soft waves for my hair. I was so amazed by the transformation and it gave me the confidence I needed to get over the nerves I had going into the session. What sets Aimee apart from different makeup artists is that she treats H&M very holistically. She considers your event and surroundings, what you'll be wearing and who your photographer will be. Aimee is SO versatile and even though I've seen her 3 times now, she has created such different looks each time. It's so much fun to get dolled up with her, I find myself looking for reasons to go see her again! For every girl who is on the fence about spending the money on a professional MUA or still looking around, stop here and look no further. Aimee is your girl. If you're already spending so much on your photos, it only makes sense to invest in an amazing MUA to look and feel beautiful on your special day and in the photos that will capture memories for a lifetime. read more

Aimee works magic and leaves you with nothing short of stunning. I did not have the patience to look for and/or book trials to find someone really good. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup or do my hair. I went with Aimee after hearing about her work from a few friends. She was my personal splurge for the wedding once I got my priorities straight and realized if there was a place to spend, hair and makeup was at the top of my list. She was sweet, professional, and very easy to work with. Trial - There is a sense of ease working with Aimee as she is on top of what looks well and what works best with your face and hair taking into account of venue location, your overall face structure, hair length, etc. She is very detailed and focused and really works with you to make you the best you possible without overdoing it. Wedding day: 3.5 hours of anticipation leading to the best natural me! It was literally 4 hours of just girl talk and fun. Result? Hair stayed in place, makeup didn't run, I was in stress-free heaven. Didn't need a single touch up or pin up from 12pm until the end of the night. Thank you Aimee for giving me that peace of mind! You are truly an amazing talented artist! read more

I love Aimee!! She's so sweet and talented! I learned about her after reading a wedding magazine that featured her as a make-up artist. I fell in love with her work because she's able to make a bride look glamorous yet natural. She's very approachable, professional, and responsive. I had a trial make-up session with her months before the wedding, and prior to our meeting, she asked me to send her a photo of me without and with make-up as well as photos of hair and make-up that I wanted for the wedding. She wanted to be prepared when she met with me so that our time would be efficient. I loved how I looked from our session, and she took photos from that day so she could remember how I wanted to look that day. On the day of the wedding, she showed up early to ensure that I would be ready in time for the photographers' arrival. She was also very flexible and helped do my mom's make-up last minute. My mom wanted to do her own make-up but I insisted she got professional help after seeing her the night prior at my rehearsal dinner. My mom ended up loving the make-up Aimee did for her as well. I also had my bridesmaids hair done, so Aimee had an assistant to help with them. Everything turned out just the way I wanted, and I felt beautiful on my wedding day. :) read more

Aimee Makeup Artistry - Aimee working her magic on my wedding day. - Makeup Artists Near Me

Aimee is amazing. Aimee was my wedding hair and makeup artist and she did such a wonderful job. It's often hard to find a good makeup artist who is also good at hair or vice versa. Aimee excels at both. She's so skilled that my friends who are getting married soon asked me who did my hair and makeup and my guy friends told me I looked like a princess. Aimee is not only super talented but also one of the nicest people I've ever met. She kept me super calm and helped me enjoy the moment the morning of my wedding day while my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. I found her really easy to get along with and I felt comfortable sharing my thoughts with her -- whether I wanted to try a different product or make some changes to my eye shadow -- I could easily tell her without the fear of offending her. What makes Aimee stand out is how despite how talented she is, she is always trying to improve her skills by attending master classes and also by listening to her brides! I know this because even though she's the pro, she would attentively listen to any tips/tricks I shared about makeup. Work with Aimee. If you're hesitant because of the price, let me tell you, she's so worth it. She uses fresh, high-quality products and they often come with a high price tag. Also, don't worry if she takes a little longer to respond sometimes. She is in high demand and gives her full attention when she is working with a bride so she may be busy, but she is professional and will deliver on her promises. read more

I was very nervous about entrusting my face and hair to someone on what should be the most important day of your life but once I met Aimee and had my trial with her, I calmed down instantly. She is very professional, sweet, and she listens to exactly what you want. She works with each one of her brides to make sure that they are precisely how they want to look on their big day. Hats off to you Aimee - thank you for making me feel way more beautiful than I ever have in my life! read more

I found Aimee through a combination of social media and recommendation from an old colleague. Her prices, while on the higher end, were still within reason and competitive with the rates I received from other vendors. Since hair and makeup plays such a big role on the wedding day, we felt that this would be well worth it given Aimee's body of work, and the fact that we would be booking the team for myself, my bridesmaids, and our Moms. The package I booked included a hair and makeup trial with Aimee. I told Aimee I wanted to look like myself, but a more done up and glamorous version. I had had some bad experiences at makeup counters previously who didn't know how to do makeup for Asian eyes. Aimee ended up doing eyeliner, false lashes, and eyeshadow - things that I feel never look good on me, but somehow Aimee made it look so natural and beautiful in test photos! I only wish I was paying more attention to what she was doing. What I appreciated most about Aimee was her demeanor. Planning a wedding, and especially the wedding day itself, can be extremely stressful and chaotic. Aimee was very calm and relaxing. She really put me at ease and gave me a moment to sit in the hair and makeup chair and just breathe and take it all in. While she was still socializing, she was very focused and respectful of our timelines to make sure that everyone's look could be completed to their satisfaction and with time to spare for photos. Demi and Grace were also so patient and kind with juggling my bridesmaids' and Moms' preferences. Everyone ended up looking so beautiful! Even though I was emotional and it was particularly windy during the ceremony, my makeup didn't run and my curls and half-up/half-down hairstyle stayed in place. It can be so difficult trusting strangers with such an important life event, but I am so glad that I ended up booking Aimee. I felt like my most beautiful self on my wedding day and can only hope that every bride can feel as comfortable as I did in my own skin. read more

I engaged with a handful of different makeup artists for my two wedding celebrations and Aimee was, by far, my absolute favorite. She's really fun, sweet, friendly, professional, and personable. She's not just a makeup/hair artist but a passionate one and her work truly speaks volumes to that. She has an such eye for detail, even the tiniest littlest ones, that you KNOW she wants you to not only look your best and also FEEL your best and that's so crucial on the big day. Sometimes the email responses were a little slow but with a follow up, there was always a response. When she's in the room with you doing a trial or your day of, she is there 110%. She's always on time if not early. Was never late and that's a quality I really value (especially on such important days!). My makeup and hair were flawless on the day of, seriously. After 10+ hours of wear including some perspiration due to the warm weather, all the hugs and kisses and guests literally putting their face to mine, everything still looked PERFECT! Not joking. So many guests asked me who had done my makeup and hair. Aimee is the best. I wish I could have another wedding but only so that I could have her do my makeup and hair again, haha! Also, don't be turned off by her pricing. At first, I was like "this is way too much, I'd never spend this much.." but Aimee is more than worth it. I've now tried a handful of other makeup artists in addition to Aimee and can confidently recommend you NOT waste your time with other trials (they do add up!) and if Aimee's style is what you're looking for, just book a trial with her already! Trust me. You won't regret it! read more

I think your response speaks to your lack of business communication skills. The fact that you can't accept an honest, albeit negative review, shows you're not willing to work on your weaknesses. You wrote me a long email right after I wrote my first review saying how you had many personal problems at that time, and that is understandable, but then to try to turn that around and blame the customer for your shortcomings makes me lose all respect for you. And to address the things you said: 1. I knew EXACTLY what look I wanted, and tried many different ways to communicate my vision to you. I think that is part of the makeup artist's job to create the look from the vision, and you were not able to do that. 2. You charged me $150, AND I gave you $20 tip for the extra ONE hour past the THREE you said it would take, so that brings the total to $170, NOT $75. Be honest. read more

Aimee and her two assistants did an amazing job on myself, my mom and my four bridesmaids! They arrived bright and early and got to work quickly. I've never felt more beautiful than after I was done with hair and makeup with Aimee - which is exactly how a bride should feel on her wedding day! I continue to highly recommend Aimee to family and friends and advise you to book her early for your next event! She is a pleasure to be around and will make you look - and feel - fantastic! read more

One Word: AMAZING! My review is definitely long overdue! I got married in June 2010 and I have been just soo busy!! So finally, below is my review for Aimee :) Homework: I was really excited when I found Aimee on Yelp! I had trouble finding an artist that can do a great job on Asian faces and keeping it modern and fun at the same time. I clicked on her website as soon as I read Aimee's reviews and was pleasantly surprised with beautiful before and after photos! I loved that her portfolio was categorized! It made it easy to browse through her work when the galleries are separated by hairstyles, bridal, beauty, and before and after. Previous Experience: I was a little anxious to set up a makeup trail with her, since it was almost February when I contacted her. I also had a very BAD experience with ANOTHER makeup and hair artist. It was partially my fault that I didn't know what I wanted, but I brought in pictures of styles I liked for the other artist to create a look for me. The other artist made me look as if I did the makeup myself, and my hair was a disaster. Trail with Aimee: Needless to say, I was crossing my fingers and hoping the best with Aimee. And YES it was! I really studied Aimee's portfolio and pointed out the hairstyles I liked and told her I wanted a smokey eye, but looking fresh and beautiful. I also brought some pictures of hairstyles with me so she had a sense of what my style was. Aimee did a fabulous job, and I knew she was going to be my GAL! My hair was perfect, and and my makeup was flawless! I would highly recommend to make reservations at a restaurant, and go out on a nice date with your fiance after you are done with your trail. No Girl should let good hair and makeup to waste! I also had some before and after pictures taken. You will be surprised what a bit of foundation and color can do. She had a "photo room," so I felt like I was modeling and doing a photo shoot. Great Personality & Professional: Aimee was warm, friendly, and really professional for both my trail and wedding day. We instantly clicked, and I felt very comfortable with her. It was really important for me to find an artist that I can trust on my wedding day so I can just focus on myself on enjoying my happy day! Pricing: Her pricing is totally reasonable for her beautiful work and for the things she provides. I.E. False lashes, a flat payment for Airbrushing instead of charging a fee for airbrushing each individual, etc. Services I ordered: 1 bridesmaid hair & makeup 1 bridesmaid JUST makeup 1 mother of the bride hair & makeup 1 mother of the groom hair & makeup 1 Bride On the Wedding Day: Aimee and her assistant showed up enthusiastic and on time! My mother, now mother-in-law, bridesmaids had their makeup and hair done before mine. My hair and makeup was the last to go, to keep it nice and fresh! Everyone loved their look for the wedding. Aimee and her assistant was very patient with us, and really seem to enjoy what they do! My photographer loved Aimee! He also complemented her on her work! My makeup and hair pretty much stayed on all day! Aimee gave me a few samples for the lip gloss to retouch throughout the day. Verdict: AWESOME! Will definitely recommend her to friends and family. Suggestions for future brides: Do some research on the style you like and bring pictures with you Bring pictures of wedding theme, color, etc Take pictures of your dress Do research on your makeup & hair artist's portfolio before trail Thank you so much Aimee!! YOU ARE THE BEST! -Kineta read more

This review is for my bridal make up. My circumstances are unique in that I had recently was married and wanted some beautiful wedding photos at San Francisco City Hall. I spent so much time searching for a make up artist. I am so happy that I found Aimee. Aimee is amazing! She's super sweet, patient, and extremely talented and professional. She made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and respected my choices and wishes. It really doesn't matter which ethnicity you are - Aimee knows exactly what colors will complement your skin tone and enhances all of your best features. Aimee came up with a clever plan to put additional hair inside my up-do, and my hair looked completely fabulous just exactly what I wanted. read more

Loved Aimee & her fabulous wedding hair and makeup work. She was very accommodating and responsive -- answering endless inane questions from the bride (can I not have fake eyelashes like Tammy Faye Baker?). She works magic and makes it look easy. Not only is she a genuinely nice person, she knows what she's doing, is reassuring, and solves problems (quick, can you spray paint -- I mean, airbrush -- the bridesmaid?). I got many compliments for my hair & makeup that day (even by other makeup artists). She truly made me into a lovely bride with beautiful, natural, and soft looking hair and makeup. Oh, Aimee, if only you could do my makeup and hair every day! read more

I'm was looking for a Makeup artist for my wedding. I went to one trial prior to going to Aimee. The lady told me to bring in magazines for the look I wanted. I brought in the magazines, but the lady didn't even look at them well and she did my makeup quite quickly in 1/2 an hour and off I went. So I went back on Yelp to look for someone else. Actually there are not that many makeup people on yelp. I found Aimee on yelp and she had a cool website, and good reviews. She quickly responded to all my emails even at 1am in the morning! Went for the trial and Aimee was so nice an personable. She took the time to listen and understand the client. I was very happy with the look, not too overdone, which is what I wanted. On my wedding day she showed up very promptly at 5:30am in the morning! Did a great job and was very professional. I would not hesitate to recommend her. My makeup for the pictures was not gaudy and over done, but just enough to make me look photogenic. read more

4.5 stars! I've had the opportunity to hire Aimee to do hair/makeup for a recent family event. I contacted her and heard back promptly. Once I got her price quote and availability, I decided to book her accordingly to the raves on Yelp. She did not disappoint. During the planning process, her email correspondence had short turnaround time. She even asked for a photo prior so that she can see what kind of skin tone I have to pack accordingly. Though she does charge for travel fee, I had no problem paying for it since gas prices are ridiculously high these days and it is reasonable for her to ask for some compensation. On the day of the event, she got her according to the appointment time and brought everything that she needed. We set up shop and quickly went to work. She asked to see the dress I was planning on wearing and suggested the type of look accordingly. However, she was also *very* attentive to my needs, concerns, and desire for a certain look. At one point, we even brought out some fashion magazines just to get a visual. Throughout the process, she was very attentive to how I felt about the makeup and colors. And ultimately, when I had changed my mind about my hairstyle, she happily obliged and quickly changed the hair. I think Aimee is perfect for anyone who is looking for great service, fantastic makeup skills, and personality. Her prices are so reasonable that I don't think you can go wrong. read more

I got married the past weekend and could not be happier with Aimee. Aimee was so sweet and so talented. She is detail- oriented and very organized. She kept her station very clean and was really professional at all times. On top of all these great qualities, Aimee is absolutely amazing. I'm not used to wearing makeup and Aimee really made me feel comfortable all day long while all my guests complimented how great I looked yet true to myself. She is so positive at all times and generous. It was an absolute pleasure to work with her and I could not be happier that I found her as my makeup artist. Both Aimee and Demi helped to make my wedding perfect. They also fitted my mom in for hair last minute when I only scheduled my mom for makeup- so thankful for that! Book Aimee if you can, you will be beyond satisfied! read more
