I cannot recommend this makeup artist and hairstylist enough! From the moment we started…read morecommunicating, everything felt professional and well organized. She really listened to what I wanted and offered helpful suggestions based on my face shape and style. The makeup was flawless, lightweight, and photographed beautifully. The hairstyle held perfectly all day and still looked great at night. I also had permanent makeup done and I'm beyond happy with the results. The process was clean, gentle, and explained step-by-step so I felt very comfortable. The final look is natural and enhances my features without looking overdone.

I really enjoyed working with Angela and her team. When I first met Angela for my trial session, I…read morewas incredibly nervous because make up is not my forte, but once I started talking to her I felt instantly at ease. She has such a sweet and fun presence where you didn't feel intimidated. It felt like chatting with a really close friend. And even though we had such great conversations going, she kept it very professional and made sure we got the look I was going for. I gave her some inspiration photos and she nailed it. I felt so elegant and beautiful after she finished. (Pics attached) I also really appreciated that she was so open to feedback and did not make me feel like 'she knew better.' She was also able to work with the hair accessories I brought and made it fit perfectly with the hair style I envisioned. Though I only went for a trial, right after the session, I immediately knew I wanted her for my wedding. And on the wedding day, she and her team did a stellar job. They came on time, got right to work, and there were 0 hiccups. My entire bridal team loved their look and I am so grateful for choosing this team. Thank you so much Angela/Beauty in Motion for everything!!

Grace and her team were exceptional for my bridal party and me during my wedding last June. I was…read morelucky to work with Olivia from the studio, who helped me during my trial session and during my wedding day. She was communicative throughout both processes, always checking in to make sure that I was happy with the results. She also gave me great make up and skincare tips during my trial to help me feel my best during the wedding day. Grace's team's aesthetic is focused on a soft glam look, which made my bridal party and me feel like a done up version of ourselves. The looks also held up well despite having our wedding be on a hot June day in SoCal. Would absolutely go back to Grace's team for future makeup needs!

I came across Grace Lin through Yelp and noticed a few of my friends follow her on Instagram. Her…read moreportfolio photos looked absolutely flawless, so when I wanted to refresh my own hair and makeup skills with a private lesson, she was the obvious choice. I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!

I couldn't have asked for a better makeup and hair artist for my wedding day! She made me feel…read moreabsolutely beautiful while still looking like myself. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through happy tears during the ceremony and dancing all night, and my hair stayed perfectly in place without feeling heavy. I wanted to match the romantic, classy vibes of the hotel and she made me feel and look like a princess! She really listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life flawlessly. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also calm, professional, and such a lovely presence to have on a busy wedding morning. I'm so grateful to have had her as part of my day and can't recommend her enough! She brought another artist named Sunny who did my girls hair so nicely and quickly!

I did a natural glam, even though we trialed a beautiful glam, and it was beautiful!! I showed her photos of the hair and make up I wanted and she delivered! My hair stayed put a solid 10+ hours! She gave me a lip kit, where she mixed 3 different shades to match the color fit for me. She recommended a setting powder brand and shade for me :) Needless to say, my girls were perfection, and she matched the mink eyelashes to match the style of their make up! Definitely do the airbrush and mink lashes, it completes the look! You won't regret it!

I scheduled a month ago for my nieces party. Two sisters for hair and makeup and 11:00. One would…read morebe getting hair while the other makeup and then switch. I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

If you're looking for a spa, check this place out. This spa is clean and centrally located in…read morePasadena with reasonably comparable prices. I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

I've had two experiences with Kelly Zhang Studio- one as a bridesmaid and one as the bride, and I…read morewas so happy with both experiences! Booking and communication was easy and seamless- shout out to Caroline for making the whole process smooth and stress-free! I communicated with Caroline through email to select an artist, schedule a trial and the wedding day, and etc.! She was so patient with me when I didn't have specific details, and never made me feel rushed or frazzled. The artist I ended up going with was Kirsten, and I could not be happier! She was so kind and warm, and she's so good at what she does. Seriously, no notes because the end results made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt :') 1000% recommend Kelly Zhang Studio for your hair and make up needs!

I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than on the day of my wedding. Valarie did an…read moreAMAZING job on my hair and makeup. Booking: booking with Kelly Zhang studios was very easy and straightforward. The packet that they send you is very transparent on the cost of service. My communication with Nancy was punctual and professional. It was also very easy to pay for my services, with reminders of deadlines. Pre-wedding: I did do a makeup and hair trial with Valarie a few months prior to the wedding. It isn't included in the wedding packages, however, I am so grateful I did it because it gave me time to discuss with Val what makeup and hair looks I wanted/liked and how they'd compliment the vibe of my wedding/wedding dress. And also a second day in my life where I felt absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend spending some extra money for this. Val was receptive to my feedback and accepted the fact that I was not very adept at makeup/not used to it. She took that in stride and somehow created the vision I wanted, but way better. I teared up the day of my trial imagining self walking down the aisle. Val was also so friendly, it was easy to open up to her and we just talked for 3 hours about everything!! It made it so non-awkward and I really appreciated that. Day of: Val did hair and makeup for myself and 2 other people, one being my mom. My mom, who does not normally wear makeup and is picky about her makeup, could not stop gushing about how beautiful she felt and how flawless her skin looked. Val absolutely nailed it. My sister, who often does her own makeup and was nervous about having someone else do it, was also stunned by Val's makeup and hair. For me, I literally tell my husband everyday that I'll never be that beautiful again. My skin was flawless, and I have a few scars from prior acne, but my base didn't feel caked on. It felt light and natural. My makeup lasted all night, with a few touch ups of powder and lipstick that Val provided me. I definitely cried the waterworks and my makeup did not smudge at all!! My updo lasted until the very end after I had been on my dance floor for 2.5 hours straight. Post wedding: no breakouts! My initial pictures taken by guests made me look stunning (and these aren't even the professional ones!) Would highly recommend Val and Kelly Zhang studios. They are professional, listen to your desires, but also are willing to take some creative direction if you aren't a pro in makeup or hair. If you want to feel absolutely gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, radiant, and beyond satisfied with your hair and makeup, go with Val & Kelly Zhang studios! Will absolutely be asking Val for all my professional makeup needs in the future!

When I first researched Yuri as a makeup/hair artist for my wedding I was kind of skeptical because…read moreall I knew about her was through her instagram and how beautiful she was, but the true challenge would be for her to make ME look beautiful too! I've had my make up done multiple times for weddings and such by other people but I was never satisfied. (Actually that's an understatement. I hated it haha) I did my trial with Yuri for my engagement shoot and I could not have been more happy! She's amazing! She really knows how to work with the features you got without over doing it, yet making you look fabulous in pictures. Her and her team of girls did hair and make up for me and my 5 bridesmaids for the wedding and everyone LOVED how they looked! That's hard to do with 6 picky girls! She sweet, she's real, she's accommodating, she's honest, and a perfectionist. Everything you would want in a hairstylist/ makeup artist. I would definitly recommend her and go back to her as my hairstylist!
