    Charlene was super patient throughout the photoshoot and guided me through all the poses. She's super friendly and attentive to details. She also stopped every now and then to show me the pictures just to make sure that I like them. I would highly recommend Charlene if you are ever thinking of having a photoshoot!

    I'm so happy I found Charlene on yelp. She is so sweet and made our simple wedding at city hall feel extra special! Very considerate of time and easy to communicate with. She did my hair, makeup and also took our photos! My husband and our families (all camera shy) had fun taking photos and really loved the pictures.

    Charlene is superb! Highly recommended if you are looking for a bridal MUA. I did make up trials at two studios and I chose her right after the second trial. She has different packages that could also cover makeups and hair styles for two moms. I highly recommend purchasing it from her too. Charlene is very flexible and punctual. My wedding is early in the morning. She was arriving around 5am and very punctual. To make it on time, she spent the night before in the area. She also came to my home to help with makeup for both of us for our engagement session. The hair style and makeup look fantastic in the photos. Charlene is very kind and gentle. She will never make you feel awkward or uncomfortable during the makeup. She is very patient and explain each steps before doing it. She listens to your needs patiently and discusses details based on your requests. Before the wedding, she arranged a deep clean and skin care for me and my husband to make sure our skins are in the best state for our big day. She is very professional and came back in the middle of vendor meals to help me change hair style and went back. She is very considerate and prepared paper tissues and checked on me multiple times during the wedding. Charlene has the power to make you feel calm and you won't worry when she is around. She also did makeup for some Chinese celebrities too :) She provides me free hair decorations on the wedding day to match the whole look. We went with 3 different hair styles. One for first look, and second for ceremony and last for first dance. I've already recommend her to my friend who is going to get married soon. Both of us want to continue the skin care routine regularly with her after wedding.

    Charlene is so amazing! I never end up doing a trial with her but she was so nice and professional throughout our email exchange. I felt I can trust her! She provided make-up for myself, mother-in-law and my husband. I couldn't have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, respectfully listens to your requests, and moves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. She was on time and ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend her - she's worth every penny.

    Keyi did my hair and my makeup for my wedding ceremony. She paid attention to every details and made sure things looked good from every aspect. She asked my preference before the day and made sure I got to chose the style I like. She is very nice and sweet and the whole process was so smooth and pleasant. The whole process was 3 hours and I really love how I looked like during the wedding. Thanks Keyi and look forward to working with you again.

    Charlene is such a professional and creative makeup artist. And she is absolutely talented in photography too! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I had her did my makeover for a casual photo shooting and she did such an amazing job! All the details from head to toe are beyond perfect. I have done bridal makeups with two other makeup artists and Charlene is THE BEST with no doubt! She had a huge variety of high-end makeup products and tools to fit all different kinds of styles. She gave me three different styles of makeups and I LOVE them all. Each makeup were so natural and unique. She is so detail oriented and gave me different outfits and jewelries to match with each style too! Me and my fiancé are both very satisfied with her and we are definitely going to have her as our wedding makeup artist. Charlene is such a sweet and humble person and we became good friends too. She often gives me advices on skincare and makeup. Also she has recommended a lot of good makeup products and jewelries to me. After all she is the professional.

    I was going to a concert and hoping to get makeup and braids to match the vibes. Talked with Charlene and she listened to my needs and thoughts, also gave me suggestions and encouraged me to try something new. The results turned out great and I had a fun night! Would definitely go back to Charlene in the future for any special events!

    Charlene is a great make-up artist. She can speak both Chinese and English fluently, which is a big plus for me. She did my makeup for my engagement session. While she is doing my make-up, I can tell she is definitely a pro, not only because of her skill, but also her knowledge about the makeup. She also got a great personality, easygoing and warm hearted. I definitely recommend her.

    Charlene is the best photographer, makeup artist and hairstylist in Bay Area! After set up the photo shooting time with Charlene, we started to discussion details 3-4 weeks before it happens. I sincerely recommend that you discuss with the photographer carefully before making an appointment, so that in the limited time, you can take more photos that satisfy both you and the photographer! Thanks again to Charlene for the amazing photos for me and they became my best memories for photo shooting. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends and in the future, I will book her again for more and more photos for sure! She is like a fashion angel in this real world!

    Well, I was not sure whether I should hire a make-up and hair artist and photographer to do my maternity shooting or I should just do it all myself. When I reached out to Charlene, she gave me a lot of good ideas and convinced me. I have to say that it was a right decision to hire her! Charlene is just so nice! Even my husband who doesn't like taking photos felt it was easy to work with Charlene. It's the style I like, the makeup, hair style, and photos!

    She did make-up for my graduation photo, and she also taught me how to look natural in front of the camera.

Mr. Ono was super detailed and took his time cutting, washing, and styling my hair to the style I wanted so super appreciative of him! It was $90 for the extra long women's haircut. I typically ask for layered haircut kind of similar to a butterfly haircut, and I think he delivered. There was a nice massage hairwash too. I took a photo the day after of my haircut so the styling wore off. I love how he took extra time to check every layer while cutting and styling! Bonus points for their super cute doggo in the shop.

The salon hair wash + scalp massage is one of the best parts about getting your hair cut. Off to a bad start. Then she started snipping away unevenly. Scissors were clearly not sharp - I could hear those dull blades tearing through my hair. The saxophones kept getting louder. Rough dried my hair with a towel, her hands, and a blow dryer - didn't pick up a round brush once. Flathead, no volume. I told her it was uneven in lengths and layers, in addition to being much shorter than I asked for, and she said "your cut was uneven when you came in so I can't make it even or fix that." What? That is LITERALLY your job as a hair stylist. Left with dry-ass, choppy layered, uneven, shorter than asked for hair that wasn't even styled. One star only because she comped the poorly executed haircut.

    I've been going to Nielle for over a decade and from the jump she really listened to what I wanted…read more I originally came to her after a botched balayage I got in the Philippines, and she completely fixed it. From there, we did an 10 hour transformation going blonde and honestly, that appointment bonded us for life. I've never trusted anyone else since, she's basically my hairstylist and therapist hehe Her balayage is SOOOOO good. It always looks natural, grows out beautifully, and lasts forever without getting brassy. I'm pretty low-maintenance, and somehow my hair still looks put together months later because of her work. Her haircuts are also super clean, and she's actually the one who got me into curtain byayangs and I've stuck with them ever since. What I appreciate most is how much she cares about doing things the right way. When I decided to go back to my natural color, she didn't rush it or take shortcuts. She slowly transitioned me over time and kept my hair healthy through every stage. I live in Los Angeles now and will literally fly home just to see her, that's how good she is! After 11 years, she's more than just my hairstylist, she's someone I trust completely. Highly recommend!
