Pace made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I wanted a natural, glowing, makeup look, and she absolutely delivered. She was so precise with the application, making sure everything felt comfortable and nothing was out of place. It was 100 degrees on my wedding day, and the makeup held up perfectly through all the sweat and tears. I also absolutely loved my hair -- it was elegant, flattering, and exactly what I had hoped for. Later in the evening, we did a style change that made me feel like a princess and was everything I wanted. Beyond the outstanding hair and makeup, Pace was also a calming presence throughout the day. As the photos and events started to get a bit chaotic, she was always there -- gently touching up my makeup, adjusting my hair, or helping me with my dress. She was amazing emotional support; whenever I started to feel a bit stressed, just having her there helped me feel calm and grounded. Thank you Pace for being such a wonderful part of my wedding day!

So happy I chose Pace as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding! She was super friendly, communicative, and easy to work with from start to finish. During my trial, she had the perfect balance between offering recommendations and listening to my preferences, which made me feel so comfortable and confident heading into the big day. On the wedding day, Pace and her team provided services for me + 3 bridesmaids + 2 family members. They were so kind, professional, and flexible throughout the entire morning. Everything ran smoothly and right on time and everyone looked amazing!

Booked Pace for an elopement/city hall wedding last 5/2/2025. As a bride, I was looking for a simple yet fresh look and she delivered! Highly recommend her if you need help with your hair and make up. Easy to work with and she came on time. Thank you so much Pace for making me look AND feel beautiful on my wedding day.

Up do

Working with Pace was an absolute pleasure and I would recommend her to anyone who wants natural and delicate make up! My make up and hair artist search experience was very tough and stressful. I had signed with a different artist before trialing (big mistake, please don't do what I did lol) and realized that she was not a match despite trialing with her twice afterwards. I ended up doing four trials total in search of someone who could help me look my best on my wedding day but still ensure that I look like myself. It's a big deal for me because I never wear foundation, and I was determined to find someone who could apply it the right way for my wedding. A lot of other artists I have met either cake on too much foundation or transform you to look like someone else, which is definitely not what I was going for. I happened to find Pace on my last trial and I immediately knew she was the one! Pace pays attention to detail and takes feedback very seriously. I was stunned by how beautifully she applied make up during my trial and my wedding day. Very fresh, natural, skin still looked like skin, and the blush placement was perfect. I could tell Pace put in the effort to get my hair exactly how I wanted from photos I had sent her. I did both an updo and then switched to a half up and down style. Both styles were beautiful, timeless and exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day outfits. My hair and make up lasted all night and I got so many compliments. Everyone in my bridal party loved their make up and hair from both Pace and her assistant Suyeon. My mom is especially picky (so I was a little worried), but she LOVED Pace (make up) and Suyeon's (hair) works. I can't thank Pace and Suyeon enough for their immaculate work and for making me and my bridal party feel beautiful and confident!

I'm so glad I chose Pace as my hair and makeup artist for my special day! She does a great job with the natural makeup look. I'm not a makeup person, and I personally consider a 2 minute eyeliner job "glamming it up." Pace did a fantastic job making me feel like the best version of myself without making me feel like I got lost in layers of makeup. She was very professional and collaborative. I had a couple hair styles in mind, and Pace was open to trying them out during the trial. By the end of it, I knew exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend a trial since it's a great opportunity to figure things out (and bonus: tick off another thing off your wedding list). Pace's exceptional talent, combined with her professionalism and genuine care, made the entire experience truly unforgettable. From the trial to the final touches on my wedding day, she listened to my preferences and brought my vision to life. Her expertise not only enhanced my (and my matron of honor's) natural beauty but also instilled a sense of confidence that lasted throughout the day. Thank you so much, Pace!

I had the privilege of working with Anna to do my hair and makeup for my wedding last weekend along with 2 members of my bridal party. I had done a trial with someone previously and didn't really connect with the MUA or what she did, so I was nervous about meeting with someone else. But Anna quickly put me at ease with her confidence and calm demeanor. She really listened and over delivered! My goal was to look natural and like myself but glammed up. I felt so beautiful and (equally as important to me) comfortable all night long! I liked my day of hair and makeup even better than the trial, and my MOH and Best Woman were very happy as well. Thank you so much for helping to make my day amazing!

If you're seeking an elegant and romantic look for your wedding day, I highly recommend Pace! Her pricing is on par with other hair & makeup artists in the Bay Area, but what sets her apart is the natural look she is able to achieve, especially on Asian features. I reached out to her 9 months before my wedding date and was able to schedule a trial for 5 months before my wedding. She takes the trial very seriously to ensure you are completely satisfied. I happened to take my engagement photos the day of the trial and provided feedback on what I would like done differently to my hair - day of wedding look turned out even better than the trial and beyond what I expected! Make sure to communicate clearly if your hair doesn't hold curls well, or any skin conditions, so she can ensure your look will last all day. Her little touch-ups on my mom was the boost of confidence my mother needed; she received so many compliments on my wedding day! Pace also brought along a friend to do my 2 bridesmaids' hair and makeup, which I highly recommend booking through Pace, so you all will have a consistent look. Pace is extremely responsive through email/text and is always on time/early! I had a day wedding, which meant getting ready at 6am, and she made the entire process super relaxing. She had communicated timelines to me a few days in advance, so I felt comfortable to just relax and chat with my bridesmaids. Highly recommend booking with Pace for your wedding day if her style is the look you're going for!

Pace is an absolutely talented artist. She did my hair and makeup for both my SF City hall civil ceremony and my larger 100-person wedding. She has also done hair and makeup for two other of my girl friends at their weddings too! She did a natural looking makeup style which I loved and she's great with hair styles too. She has a soft, light touch that made me feel comfortable getting make up put on me. The makeup lasted until the evening both times. Pace is quick to respond to emails and very easy to work with. I sent her some photos of the make up style and hair I wanted and she had no issues doing them. She made sure to arrive on time (even for a 5am start time) and was flexible when I had last minute changes to the location for where I wanted my hair and makeup done.

Anna helped 2 of my bridesmaids with their hair, and my mother-in-law with her hair and makeup. She did a wonderful job! Everyone's hair didn't budge all day and looked great all night long with plenty of hair spray. My mother-in-law's makeup was just enough glam for the wedding and still fairly natural, giving her a "me, but better" look. I wasn't at the same location as Anna, but my bridesmaid told me she was very punctual with everyone's appointments and she arrived early to set up. I communicated with Pace throughout the whole booking process. She's very responsive and easy to work with!

Highly recommend Pace! She did an amazing job on my makeup and hair on both the trial and the wedding days. It lasted for 10+hours with barely any touch-up - I basically re-applied my lipstick after dinner. Pace is really easy to communicate with, and patient with my requests. She also gave me her professional opinions on what fits my features better. I love how my look turned out, natural but elegant! I got LOTS OF compliments! Thank you so much for making me extra gorgeous on my special day!

First outfit

Pace was absolutely amazing and professional before (during the trial) AND on my wedding day! She was actually one of the first vendors that I contacted, and I have zero regrets. She is meticulous and detail-oriented, which really fit what I was looking for in a makeup and hair stylist, given that all of it needs to last a long time throughout the night. And Pace totally delivered! Trial/pre-wedding day thoughts: I truly felt Pace's passion for hair and makeup the first time I went in for my trial session. It didn't feel like she was just doing her job just to do her job. I could really tell that she put in every effort to make her clients feel beautiful. Pace made sure to ask me questions to make sure she understands the vibe/style that I was trying to go for. She also communicated with me between the trial date and the wedding date to make sure she can make any changes I wanted. Wedding day thoughts: Pace delivered exactly the style of hair and makeup that I asked for and did it with great patience. My mom kept telling me how good my hair and makeup was throughout the evening (she was very impressed!). The makeup lasted so long, even through 3 outfit changes + my tears and snot throughout the night with minimal touchup (lol, I cried so much). Thank you Pace for making me look and feel like royalty on my special day. I'd 100% recommend her for friends and family if they're looking for a hair & makeup artist in the future :)

Pace Huang is absolutely wonderful and talented hair and make-up artist! I'd recommend emailing her ahead of time or bringing many sample photos of picture you like and do not like in preparation for any session. If you have gotten your hair and make-up professional done beforehand, I'd also make sure to send her those copies as well. Pace is so calm and listens very well to any feedback and adjusts accordingly. I had booked a hair & make-up trial to be done the same day as our engagement photoshoot. I ended up having some feedback notes for Pace after looking back on the photos from our engagement shoot and Pace adjusted and did all recommended changes perfectly on the wedding day. For the actual wedding day, I had Pace and her assistant (Sooyeon) do hair and make-up for myself, several bridesmaids, and the mothers. Pace and Sooyeon worked quickly and efficiently and they were able to get the whole group that I wanted ready only 5 minutes a little later than our expected end time. This was a huge win to me still because I've been in and have been to weddings where hair and make-up ends up half an hour to an hour later than it should have taken. Timeliness and efficiency was so important to me since our morning schedule was extremely tight. I also booked Pace for an 8 hour package, which was so worth it. I had two hair style changes (one up-do for my hanbok and a half-down hair-do for my western white dress). Pace was also there to touch me up heavily after our letter reading and first look (I'd highly recommend a longer package if you know you're a cryer... because I definitely needed it). I also really appreciated that Pace ended up staying a little bit longer to help me touch up right before our ceremony. I absolutely would highly recommend Pace! You will not regret it!

This review is for Libby…read more I've been seeing Libby for over two years and actually travel back to the Bay Area just to have my hair done by her - that's how good she is. She's a true color magician. She helped me transition through the awkward grey stage at exactly the right time, and later brought me back to light brown in a way that blends beautifully with my fast-growing greys and grows out naturally without constant upkeep. The moment I knew I could fully trust her was when she gave me a short haircut, something I'm usually very hesitant about and absolutely nailed it. Finding a stylist who is genuinely excellent at both color and cutting is surprisingly rare, and Libby is both. She listens carefully, understands the science behind how color and texture behave, and designs styles that actually look great as they grow out not just the day you leave the chair. She's also warm, funny, and incredibly easy to be around. Even my husband, who normally avoids hair maintenance altogether, got a cut from her and loved it. If you care about grey transition, natural grow-out, or just want low-maintenance hair that still looks polished, Libby is the one.

I'm writing this review for my mom (she has dementia)and these are my thoughts and observations…read more For one, this was the first time here because my mom's hairdresser lost her place in Dublin, so she found a stall here. Anyways, the place itself is pretty convenient since it's located by the freeway. The place is surprisingly pretty big and spacious and my mom's hairdresser is always patient and polite. I will admit probably for my mom's next visit I'll have to stick around a tad longer and help my mom and her hairdresser when my mom gets her hair washed. So not everything there is I guess ADA available, but it's a minor thing for now since my mom has very limited mobility but can move with some assistance. As for the hairstyle, mom is always happy and I personally think makes her feel as normal as she can get these days and being content let alone having another outside interaction besides with me is always a good thing!

After about 6 months after my first haircut with her, and the tips she's provided, my hair is low key thriving! Let's start off with location... She's located downtown Hayward off B Street. Although, parking kinda sucks, and it is the Main Street with so many cars, her place is so cute! Inside her place, there plenty of seating, and a lot of chairs available. For the most part, whenever I go see her, I'm probably the only other client inside - just incase you guys get nervous for Covid reasons. Nancy is so welcoming. She starts off asking you what you want to do with your hair, and she observes and starts framing your face to see if you would like it and gives out suggestions as needed. Then she washes your hair, and then she begins the cut. She's so knowledgable in the industry. She given me helpful advice on how to maintain my hair. For reference, I've always had to wash my hair daily because it's always getting so oily. So she's given me tips on how to prevent it. And after 6 months of following tips, and seeing what works for me, my hair is fuller, healthier, and thriving as I've mentioned. She also sells products in house just in case you want to obtain professional items. I highly recommend her. You won't regret it.

Hoa reassured my hairs integrity and explained in detailed of the process and she didn't give me any false hopes but ABOVE AND BEYOND. I would like to say that I'm a introverted extroverted type of person but she made me feel so comfortable and worth time getting pampered. We took approximately around 10 hours for my full balayage but time went by so fast with her. She's so kind and attentive, her customer service is definitely top tier as well as her skills. If gatekeeping was still a thing in this time and generation, I'd take it to my grave. She ensured that I would walk out that salon looking real good, the cut and color suited my particular skin tone and everything then I didn't even think of a second doubt. This was my first balayage ever and I'm really happy she was the one to do it while others couldn't.
