Serena did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower that was in San Francisco at her home studio…read more Super great experience and her studio has so much natural light! Serena fit me into her schedule and did not make me feel rushed at all during our appointment. I only asked for my makeup to be "natural" but otherwise gave her free reign on everything else. In the end we asked for more contour because... contour is great. Working with Serena has been great and I'm so happy that I get to look at pictures of my bridal shower and actually like how I looked!

I've been using Serena for years to do my hair and makeup for events. I even had her travel to…read moreSeattle to do my wedding hair and makeup! She's the only one that I trusted enough for my big day. I've requested different looks over the years and she's been able to look at a photo and recreate what I wanted, adjusting it to make sure it would look good w/ my features. She's very flexible with either me going to her beautiful home studio (that has tons of natural light) or coming to me and bringing all of her stuff! She's always punctual and I've never felt rushed if I wanted any touch ups or had any questions. I recommend Serena to all of my friends and family. Try her out for your next event, you will not be disappointed!!

I went for a wedding make-up consultation at Maggie's apartment. By the way, she is very sweet and…read morecute. Overall I liked the way my make-up turned out. However, I wasn't completely satisfied to book Maggie for my wedding. First of all, I thought she was a little bit sloppy on the fake eye lashes (note I'm a bit of a perfectionist), but they were a bit uneven. Secondly, I pointed out a blemish I had on my jawline. Maggie didn't try to conceal it as her philosophy is that good skin care is your primer. Well thats fine, but what if, god forbid, I happen to get a big pimple on my wedding day! I need some security that she would be able to cover it and cover it up well! And lastly, she doesn't use primer, so by the end of the night, I could see where the pores on my face were because the oil was breaking through the make-up like a geyser through the ground. Icks gross! So, I would go to Maggie for a special event, but just not my wedding.

I have to admit that when it came to my wedding I was only worried about two major things - my hair…read moreand make-up. Selfish, I know, but after meeting with Maggie for a trial I knew she was the perfect fit. I tend to wear a lot of eye make-up but on my wedding day I wanted the perfect blend of clean on the face and dramatic on the eyes. She exceeded my very high expectations. I also have three sisters where only one of them got their make-up done. The two sisters who did not get it done by Maggie were jealous all day. Next time I need make-up I am calling Maggie. You will not be disappointed. I swear!

I highly recommend YJ! Last saturday, my family and I were taking family photos so I needed to get…read moresome makeup done. My friend told me about her and she recommended her to me so I called YJ to set up an appointment. YJ came to my house and she was on right on time even if it was 6:00am in the morning! When she came, she showed me options of makeup styles that I could choose from and she even recommended what type of makeup would look the best on my skin. She was very thorough with everything and explained everything to me as well. She had a lot of makeup options (A LOT!) and she took her time to find the best makeup style for me. YJ is the best makeup artist I have ever met because she accommodated to my needs and she was so friendly. She listened to what I preferred or wanted. I was so happy with the outcome and everyone complimented on my makeup. She really is the best! I highly recommend YJ.

YJ is a great make up artist! Last week, I had my wedding at San Jose and got my make up done by…read moreYJ. She arrived about 10 mins before my appointment time to get everything ready. Since it is a wedding makeup, I was very worried what if I wouldn't like the make up. However, she asked me what I prefer or like and tried her best to meet my need! While she was putting makeup on me, she discussed with me what would be better and fixed makeup upon my request. I had tattoo on my back that needed to be covered up and she almost got them all hidden!. She is very professional and friendly and listened to what I wanted and did everything I asked for. She gave me options that I could choose! I had a lot of compliments on my wedding day about the make up. She is the best make-up artist I've ever met. I highly highly recommend YJ!

This was my first tattoo and I decided to come in after being recommended Krizia's services from a…read morefriend. Krizia was super helpful throughout the process and talked me through the steps. I had an idea in mind of what I wanted to get and with the help of my fiancée's cousin, they made me a design which Krizia was able to implement perfectly! I was nervous about how it would feel as I have a low pain tolerance, but during the process it mostly felt like a light stinging sensation, almost like getting a shot? The whole thing took about an hour to complete and Krizia gave me instructions for after-care, along with an anti-microbial cleanser and ointment which was to be applied twice a day for at least two weeks. Krizia was very comfortable to work with and I would definitely recommend coming back for your permanent make up/tattoo needs!

First off, Tiffany is a very talented makeup artist who definitely has had many years of…read moreexperience. I booked Tiffany for my cousin's wedding and everything went smoothly. Communication was very clear and prices were straight forward. The Bride, bridesmaid and I went in for the consultation/trial and Tiffany made sure that the Bride was comfortable with the colors being used. The Bride was not a "makeup" wearing type, and Tiffany reassured her that she was willing to demonstrate all different looks. After the trial, we were crystal-clear that we wanted her on board for the wedding process. On the day of the wedding, Tiffany arrived very promptly (even before most of us had even woken up). She did the make up for the Bride, Mother of Bride, and three brides' maids. She made sure that everyone was relaxed and content with the colors. She was able to accommodate to all of our needs (more/less coverage, contouring, ect...) Tiffany was very approachable in changing certain things, attending to precise and accurate needs of the unique individual. In the end, everyone was happy with their looks and the makeup lasted until the end of the night! Thank you for your services, highly recommended and we will definitely consider you for any other special occasions!

I would recommend Tiffany for any woman who wants to look great on her special day!

I have been to Athena twice for my brows 10 years apart and I have been extremely happy both times…read more The first time she fixed my blue black pencil thinned brows into something thicker and more natural colored (dark brown). It took a few sessions, but she patiently corrected the blue black ink into a dark brown and added a more flattering thicker brow. This time she turned my microbladed thicker brows that I had done by a master in Hong Kong into the perfect permanent fixtures on my face. I just finished my last touch up today and I cannot be happier with the results. While Athena is on the pricier end of the spectrum, you get what you paid for. I have met with many other brow artists and they all lack the vision to be able to do what Athena was able to do with mine. Most of them told me to have them laser removed so they can start over. However, Athena was able to take what was already done and fix it to be more natural. You get what you pay for, so why would you cheap out on your face permanently? Your brows frame your face, make good choices. You can't go wrong with Athena.

Athena is an angel. I had an accident several years ago while hiking. I lost 30% of my lower lip…read more Ibwas not abke to get to a hospital before it scabbed over slightly and had to wait 2 months for the wound to heal. I had to have reconstructive surgery to fix the dimpled in texture, discoloration and unevenness. Years later while it was a massive improvement it still bothered me. My lower lip was very thin and uneven on the vermilion border. It dimpled in when I made a kissy face and pulled towards the scar when I smiled. I went to Athena because I did a lot of research and did not want to mess around with my face. Athena took her time in showing me the different ways to redefine the lip line. I have had several sessions in the past year. She always takes her time to make sure you are comfortable and checks in with you via text the night after your procedure. She is a sweet caring and beautifully compassionate woman. My lips always healed quickly afterwards and look phenominal. I am able to apply lipstick in 30 seconds instead of the 15 it took before to make myself look even. I feel confident with my lips. Alot of the pulling and dimpling from the scar tissue is gone. When I smile my lips are even. No one but my best friends know I have had anything done. My lips look naturally full and beautiful. I also got my eye brows done and it has been amazing rolling out of bed with nothing but a swipe of mascara and being ready to go. I highly recommend her. She cares deeply about her clients and that you are happy with her work.
