I cannot recommend this makeup artist and hairstylist enough! From the moment we started communicating, 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. read more

I really enjoyed working with Angela and her team. When I first met Angela for my trial session, I was 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!! read more

I was looking for hair and make up services for some of my family members for my wedding day and decided to reach out to Beauty in Motion because of their stellar reviews and convenient location in the SGV. I scheduled the appointments for my mom, aunt, mother in law, and sister in law through Yelp messages, and it was such an easy process! On the day of, the appointments went accordingly with no issues. This was such a relief for me as a bride. The make up and hair stylists were so patient, and they're so good at what they do! All my family members looked beautiful without it being too much (they looked like themselves, just elevated). I'm so happy with their services! I look forward to scheduling a future appointment with them for special occasions :) read more

I knew I was ready to splurge on my hair-do this time around. When attending a wedding, I'd usually curl my own hair and that's it. Honestly, I wanted to feel pampered this time around. I personally can't do an up-do on my own, and the dress would look great with an up-do! I reached out to Beauty in Motion, and Angela assisted me on my inquiry, concerns, and scheduled my appointment through Yelp! My gosh, Angela, thank you for your quick responses! Everyone, I highly recommend Angela, but I bet her sister is just as good. This business is owned by two sisters, and the service is great! I personally only been in contact with Angela and she's the sweetest, so funny, and can keep a conversation going while working on my hair and she was done within 30-45 min! That's talent!!! Angela has been doing hair and makeup for many years and the business (if I recall) have been around for 14-15 years? Just know, they have been in business for so many years. I received so many compliments on my hair, and it's all thanks to my girl, Angela! See photos for proof. If you are going to splurge, then you gotta splurge your hair (and makeup) with Beauty in Motion!!! read more

Crystal and her team did hair and makeup for our wedding, and they did an absolutely phenomenal job! Crystal is kind, talented, and meticulous, and created a fresh, timeless, and elegant look that perfectly met my needs! I don't wear makeup much, so I was going for "natural glam", and she nailed it. I felt like I looked like myself, but better! Our other vendors also commented on how good her team's work was and also how professional and efficient they were. Highly recommend! read more

I had my lashes done by Angela, and it came out so good! I wanted to get them done for a wedding in Cancun and came across her ig page that showed a "wet lash" style. My natural lashes are short and kind of thin, so when I've done lashes before, they start to weigh down as they grow out. Angela explained that the wet lash style is really suitable for my type of lashes and also she would use a short length for me (9mm). After she was done, I was so incredibly happy with them! They looked so natural but fuller and thicker looking! It looked like I had mascara on. I was in Cancun for 5 days and these lashes stayed on so well through the strong winds/humidity, the pool, and the beach! It's been almost 3 weeks, and they still look as if I just got them done. If you're looking to get your lashes done, but want something low maintenance and long retention, get the wet lash look! read more

Angela and Crystal did hair and make up for me and MOB/MOG and they both did such an amazing job. They traveled to the agreed upon getting ready location and got there early, and were very meticulous with their work and very patient with both mothers. I was a little nervous about my mother and ensuring she felt happy and comfortable with how she looked but Angela and her sister were patient and worked hard to make sure she was comfortable and happy and felt natural! They also made sure there was plenty of buffer room before we had to leave to the venue. They were also accommodating where they could - I was unexpectedly back in town and they were able to schedule my trial at the last minute. Overall they were so professional, helpful and amazing! read more

Found this studio based on the Yelp reviews. looked at their hairstyles on their website and thought they looked good. so, I booked an appointment for my daughter to get an updo for Prom. AMAZING! The style is gorgeous and exactly what she wanted - actually, better than what she wanted. Thank you! read more

Angela and her team did an amazing job doing hair and makeup for my wife, mom, aunt, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, aunt-in-law, and cousin-in-law the morning and afternoon of our wedding reception on 3/16/24. Everyone looked stunning and beautiful after everything was finished. They even expertly addressed one of my mom's hair concerns and made it unnoticeable. Would highly recommend their services! read more

Just wanted to update my review and state that I still haven't found anyone that comes close to the magic these ladies do, and the artistic and intuitive eye they have is unparalleled. I have never felt more beautiful in my own skin and it is always such a joy to be at their space. An immense thank you once again to Angela and team!! read more

Loved the natural set of lashes that Angela did for me!!! I fell asleep during service and the lashes since she was so gentle . She's super meticulous with the lash placement. This is definitely one of my favorite lash sets. I believe "less is more" when it comes to make up and lashes. Angela will be the only make up artist I'll bring my daughter to for her future formals. read more

I have used Angela and Crystal since my wedding back in 2015. I love their work so much and still use their makeup services to this day for special occasions. I recently had my makeup done for a family photo session and it was just so lovely. I love their style and really don't tell them much of what I want, because they just know what looks good on me. On top of it, they're both super sweet. Highly recommend! read more

My eye brow were more of an eye sore and was in dire need of a touch up. I got more than a touch up. I got a new face. Thank you. I know many of you would ask, there is no restaurant, dance party, concerts, roof top bars, what's the point of looking pretty. Truth be told, every morning, waking up and looking into the mirror, I was to see a confident, energetic, and positive self image. I need to be happy to see myself. And yes, Crystal did just that, with very little pain and quick recovery. Love it~! read more

This review has been long over due. I have used Crystal's make-up and hair service since my wedding back in 2021. When she did my wedding makeup and hairstyle, she was very receptive to the feedback and made proper adjustments to make sure I was 100% satisfied even though I did throw her lots of curveballs. Since then, I have always made appointments with her for all my formal outings. She provides me with feedback on taking care of my skin and always knows how to apply my makeup the way I like it. She's very accommodating with scheduling and does her best to fit me in even with my super last minute requests. read more

Only the best experience! Friendly, professional, and beautiful results. I've worked with Beauty in Motion studio twice (bridal and maternity shoots) and have had a great experience each time. Angela and Crystal are an awesome duo with strong attention to detail and quality service. :) Highly recommend! read more

Beauty in Motion did my daughter's wedding. From start to finish a wonderful experience. Great communication, easy and flexible as we kept adding people to the schedule, professional all while being so friendly and welcoming. Each person in the wedding party had different ideas of what they wanted, whether it was lashes, their hair or make-up, and was treated so special and looked amazing. Thank you Angela and Crystal for your everything. read more

For context I ended up having to have an elopement/Zoom wedding which meant adjusting a lot of what I had originally envisioned for my wedding day. Angela of Beauty in Motion Studio was very up to date on current regulations and responded promptly to our changing needs throughout the process. Due to regulations at the time she was able to do my hair but not makeup. I appreciated the care she took to abide by all COVID regulations to ensure safety. I was the only person serviced in her extremely clean location. She did a great job and everything went smoothly, finishing up on time so that I could go on to the venue. She even put a flower in my hair that matched my bouquet! I loved the loose, romantic updo she did and appreciated the care she took to keep me safe. read more

Crystal, Angela, and their team were amazing to work with! Me and my bridal party had a lot of requests for our hair and makeup, and they were super accommodating and did all they could to meet our needs and wants. They were so kind about it all too! They were truly efficient as well and so encouraging about any insecurities I felt. It was a nerve wracking wedding morning and I really appreciated how professional, efficient, and sweet they were. I knew from the moment I did my bridal trial with Crystal that I could trust them to take care of me on my wedding day. I felt beautiful and got many compliments on my wedding day! I highly recommend you book them to do your hair and makeup for any event! read more

We were planning a quick microwedding/elopement ceremony in less than 4 months - we found Beauty in Motion from the great reviews on Yelp and they exceeded our expectations! We needed hair and makeup for 10 women from ages 25 to 80, and the team did an amazing job adapting to everyone's requests and preferences! Many of the women preferred natural makeup (which was done so expertly!), but also requested a wide variety of hair styles (up-do, braids, loose waves, etc) and the end results were all great. Angela worked with me (the bride) closely and I can't say enough good things - she understood exactly the look I was going for and it was executed so perfectly. She and her team are so talented! Beauty in Motion made everything so easy and our wedding coordinator also loved working with the team - they were super responsive to all texts from us and our coordinator, they were flexible with the Bridal hair/makeup trial scheduling, and they were perfectly on schedule day-of. Thank you for being part of our special day, Beauty in Motion!! read more

Couldn't have ask for a better MUHA team for my wedding, I got lots and lots of compliments on my big day, Angela and Crystal not only did a great job on with my makeup, but also did an amazing job with my hair, all I did was send them a Instagram pic for a hair style that I like and just like that I got what I want.

Angela & Crystal are an amazing sister team tackling all of my beauty needs. Crystal did my microblading and made it a comfortable, painless procedure. She was very attentive and took the time to make sure my eyebrows were even and was a good fit for me. I got so many compliments afterwards on my eyebrows. It was my first time doing microblading and I did the ombre powder look and loved it! Angela did my bridal and bridal party make up for my wedding day. She also did it for my mom. Given our different face shapes and skin types, Angela was able to find a look for each individual person that looked great for them. She also did our hair and made it look very glamorous and gorgeous. If you have any photos to create a certain look, Angela will be able to replicate it very accurately! Everyone was happy and radiating with their hair and make up. I got positive feedback on my make up and my hair. Angela even loaned a beautiful golden hair piece that I placed a deposit for. When returning it, I got my deposit it and it just added an extra layer of glamorous to my special day. Both ladies provide great customer service and made it so easy to communicate via texting with! I wouldn't go anywhere else for my beauty needs and highly recommend them for hair, make up, and microblading! read more

Angela did HMU for a wedding for me. I loved what she did, it was great working with her.

Angela and Crystal at Beauty in Motion Studio are the ONLY people I trust to do my hair, makeup, and lashes. Both Angela and Crystal are the absolute best in the business. They've done my hair and makeup for different events, including engagement photos, wedding, and maternity photos. They ALWAYS make me look and feel beautiful from the inside out. They can magically make any look come to life -- and, if you don't have any inspiration photos, they can help you come up with your dream look. Also, they are both the kindest and sweetest people. I'm so glad I met them years ago -- they are stuck with me as their client and friend forever! read more

I had my hair + makeup done here for a wedding shoot and it was super fun! The photos turned out great I looked like I was ready to be sent off to marriage lol. Crystal and Angela are really nice and they can make you look the prettiest you've ever been for your wedding or any special event. :3 They make sure you are very comfortable and are really good at making sure they bring out the best of your features, highlighting what needs to be showcased and concealing any imperfections. They also offer prom or makeup services for special occasions such as a photoshoot or etc. They even let you borrow and add accessories in your hair that match your gown. They moved to this new location and it's bigger and brighter than their old space and I would definitely recommend coming here if you need any type of makeup services. read more

Angela did my bridal makeup and I couldn't have been happier! We met for our initial consultation and trial and I don't know what I was thinking because I told her I wanted glam. While it looked great, I realized after that I wanted natural NOT glam! I was panicking and e-mailed her asking if we could change the look and worried we would need another trial. She e-mailed back saying it would be no problem to switch the look and there will be no trial needed as it's their signature look. The morning of the wedding Angela and the BiM team (2 gals - I'm sorry I forgot your names!) were at the hotel at 7am sharp to start working on us. Angela did my hair and makeup while the other ladies did hair and makeup for my 4 bridesmaids. It went SO smoothly. No rushing, no stress. All my girls loved their hair and makeup as did I! They helped make getting ready for one of the biggest days of my life SO EASY and fun! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :) read more

Angela was amazing!!! With short notice, I reached out to her and she was super friendly and responded immediately with availability! I needed some major help with hair and makeup to look polished, but not overly done, for a big birthday dinner. She understood exactly what I was trying to describe and executed perfectly. Felt super pretty all night. Thanks so much Angela!!! read more

Crystal is AH-MAY-ZING. I first went to her for my engagement session. In our first meeting, she asked me what look I was going for. I told her that I wanted a very natural look, someone that my then-fiancé can still recognize. I've heard too many horror stories of guys marrying someone that totally looks different. Crystal did such a great job that I knew I had to book her for my big day as well. I highly recommend a hair trial because we had to try different styles to fit my petite face (don't always trust Pinterest). On the day of my wedding, her team was able to quickly set up in our hotel room. They all did such a great job with my bridesmaids, groomswoman, and I, everyone looked so beautiful! One of my bridesmaids told me that out of the four times she's been a bride, her hair and makeup turned out the best with BIMS. Overall, this company is very professional. I researched many makeup artists in the SGV area and BIMS prices were the most reasonable, especially since you get to work with the owners and not just a senior or lead artist. One major plus is that Crystal gave me advice on skincare and makeup. I am still using the products that she recommended. I must say that my wedding photographer, Donna Lam's photography style matches BIMS style very well. I recommend booking both together. I would definitely come back to Crystal if I want to take any more professional photos in the future. read more

I have tried many lash extensions services before, but none ever looked as natural and effortless like the ones I got in this studio. Angela is very detail oriented and patient. She recommended a specific length and the shape of the lashes that would help highlight my eye shape and help my eyes look more energized. I will definitely keep coming back to get my lashes done. read more

Angela did my makeup for my wedding in September and I absolutely LOVED it! Besides just being an awesome person to work with for the day, she is very talented and highly professional. During my trial hair and makeup run she helped me to decide on a beautiful makeup and hair look for the day. On the day of the wedding she showed up to my house to do hair and makeup for me, my mom, and my sister. The whole process was super fun and enjoyable. Everyone's hair and makeup was flawless and just gorgeous. The plus side is that it lasted all day and night so our pictures looked great! I would 100% hire Beauty In Motion Studio for a special event! They're so talented and great to work with! read more

I'm not going to have enough time to do justice to this review, but I do want to write something quick while I'm still feeling so much LOVE for BIMS, and especially that Angela! I was the maid of honor for a wedding last week, and true to form I was running around like a lunatic and forgot to plan how I was going to do my own hair and makeup. I knew that the bride was being forced by her beloved to get her hair and makeup done, thus I also felt compelled to do something special. Anthony found this five star rated salon himself on yelp, five minutes from where we were having breakfast in San Gabriel. And by a small miracle, they were able to fit me in. I really didn't know what I wanted - only that I wanted my hair down (cuz I always wear it down) and "um romantic I guess." Angela did an amazing job. I have a flat head - like gumby!, and she did something to make my head look not so flat, and my hair very full on top. She knew exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn't quite sure what I wanted. I got so many compliments - and despite the stress and sweat of that day, I maintained my makeup and hair for many hours. The fake eyelashes lasted four days! Many of my friends said "You should go back their for your own wedding Lulu!" I definitely well. Loved Angela's magic. Hair and makeup took an hour and a half ... but Angela made it seem so effortless. Even Anthony really loved it, and snuck a picture of me and put it on Facebook. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON! I'd give it ten stars if I could! read more

I'm so thankful to Beauty in Motion for accepting the job to do hair and makeup for me at my wedding in Santa Barbara. It was important to me to have artists that really understood how to work with Asian eyes. The struggle is real. I knew I had to go with them when Crystal broke out the eyelid tape during our trial. I was excited because I had never used it before. And overall, at the end of the trial, I still felt like I looked like myself but much, much better. That's one of the things that first drew me to them; all the pictures of their clients made them look like fresh, dewy versions of themselves. On wedding day, Crystal and one of her colleagues, Angel, drove up 100 miles and arrived bright and early at 7:30 a.m., right on time. Crystal got started on me right away and spent the majority of her time with me while Angel knocked out hair and makeup for some of my family and bridesmaids. My family had some unexpected requests at the last minute, like my mom asking for her hair to be done, or my niece wanting both hair and makeup done instead of just hair. Crystal and Angel didn't balk and worked very professionally. I'm not sure how they ended up finishing everyone on time. If they had to rush at all you couldn't tell because everyone looked great. Crystal even touched me up after I struggled getting in and out of my tea ceremony dress that had no zipper - it was a stretchy dress that went on and off over my head, totally inconvenient for my loose updo. It occurs to me now that choosing the right hair and makeup artist is such a big part to getting you in the right mindset for your wedding or event. They're one of the first vendors you're going to work with on your big day so you really want some calming energy. Beauty in Motion was totally reliable, zero drama, and helped me feel beautiful, confident, and just so happy. Thank you, ladies! read more

Hi, I just want to say that Beauty In Motion Studio deserves a million stars. First of all I just want to say that I have very bad skin. I have a lot of acne scars on my cheeks (ice pick type) Anyway, I emailed them because I had a wedding event on Sunday Oct. 21, 2018 and needed someone to do my hair and makeup. Like I mentioned before I have a lot of acne scars so I was scared that they would not want to work with my type of skin.. browsing thru their clients photos here on Yelp I was a bit discouraged thinking my makeup would not look nice like everyone else.. oh and also my hair is very thin.. so long story short.. my appt. was at 11am I showed up and Crystal asked me how I wanted my hair and makeup, I said I wanted coverage so that my makeup lasts the whole evening and of course wanted my scars to look less noticeable plus wanted a simple hair do. My hair is super thin so she suggested to add some volume and I agreed. Ladies.. Crystal is the best! she made me feel comfortable the whole time and I loved my hair and makeup. The price was very reasonable too but the best part was that I got a lot of compliments at the wedding. Thank you so much Crystal you made me feel pretty that day I highly recommend Beauty In Motion Studio Crystal is very professional read more

I rarely write reviews but this needs to be said. I'm a recovering tom boy and I'm not the type that wears or knows how to do much of make up. For those reasons I've always struggled to feel my best whenever I wanted to look dolled up. I overheard from friends that lashes is all I really need to spruce up my look, with consideration to the eyelashes trend and craze I started to wonder if it I'd hop on the eyelashes bandwagon. I was reluctant about getting them done because I didn't want to damage my existing lashes and felt the money wasn't worth the longevity of its life. I didn't want to them looking too intense aka ABG (asian baby girl) but I also didn't want it to look too natural where it didn't look like I even got them done. Samantha did an AMAZING job finding that happy medium and gave me great recommendations after assessing my lashes and also helped me figure out what would look good with the shape of my eyes. To my surprise, they lasted a month and still looks great. I'm able to put on minimal makeup and am out the door in less than 10 mins thanks to these bad boys! I followed the cleaning instructions they provided and did my best to keep them cute so it was great to see how they held their own. I believe the lashes are mink so they have a natural airy look to them, the previous place I tried def had a different material because it started looking really plastic-y towards the later weeks however these lashes looked fluffy and airy throughout the whole month- super brownie points for that! read more

Not only did I look great but my makeup and hair lasted me all day and into the night, and considering I was bridesmaid running around 100 degree weather this is no easy feat. Sometimes fake eyelashes can pinch my eyes or annoy them but they did such a good job applying it I almost felt like I wasn't wearing any! Will definitely use them again for any future weddings or events where I need to look dope af read more
