I had the joy of working with their team for three major events - my engagement shoot, traditional Vietnamese engagement ceremony, and wedding - and each time, they exceeded every expectation. Devon was amazing with my hair - from styling my bangs for our engagement shoot over a year ago to creating the most elegant updo for the wedding day. She even designed it so I could easily take it down for the reception, and it still looked flawless. Melody worked pure magic with my makeup. I've never really worn makeup before, so I put my full trust in her - and she made me look so naturally beautiful I could cry. My bridesmaids and mom were equally thrilled with their looks, and everyone felt so confident and radiant. What's even more impressive is that after an 18-hour day - starting hair and makeup at 6 a.m. and celebrating until midnight - not a single smudge or curl was out of place. Truly remarkable. Thank you, Luong Lasting, for being such an essential and unforgettable part of our wedding day. You made us all feel our absolute best, and I'm endlessly grateful!

She wasn't able to accommodate changes in the hairstyle I want & was not willing to work around our wedding schedule. So that left me with 2 months to find someone new. Thank goodness my friend Christine referred me to Kim & Luong Lasting and I honestly am so glad I found Kim and Ysabelle for my big day. I hired Kim and Ysabelle for my bridal & bridal party hair & makeup. Kim did all of our hair and Ysabelle did our makeup. From the very beginning of our trial, I was impressed with the team's communication and transparency. Luong Lasting was quick to respond in answering my questions through messages and emails. Kim and Ysabelle are both very lovely and easy going. They made my family and bridal party feel comfortable and at ease. They applied just the amount of makeup we asked for and gave the most fabulous up-dos. I loved their attention to deal. Always asking me how I felt about everything they did and applied on my face. I felt like they both genuinely cared about me and was always open to feedback and changes. Kim and Ysabelle made it easy and comfortable to tell them how I wanted my makeup and hair done. Let them know what you want and they'll make it happen! I was blown away by how efficient they both worked around our busy wedding schedule. Kim and Ysabelle gave me beautiful makeup and voluminous hair in 2 hours! They worked fast, but everything was precisely done. My hair and makeup lasted all night!! No reapplication needed except for my lipstick. I can't thank these two enough for making me feel like the most beautiful bride ever. A big thank you and shout out to Kim, who at the last minute, worked her schedule around for me to be available on my wedding day. I literally cried when she said she would do this huge favor. Again, THANK YOU BOTH!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this lovely lady…read more Found Denise at one of the bridal shows. Unfortunately, bridal showers tend to cater to one ethnicity versus others, and I could not get just any makeup artist. I looked through Denise's portfolio, got her contact information, and looked through her website for a few days. I eventually emailed her to possibly sign a contract. She was very sweet, always answered all of my questions and answered them in a very timely manner, and there were no hidden fees: the contract was very exact. For example, I would pay for parking fees, which is completely understandable. She only provided on-site service instead of a salon. And she could also provide other on-site services if requested beforehand. So, I put in a 50% deposit at the time of signing the contract, and requested a trial session around 4 months before the wedding. She was on-time for the trial session, took a few minutes to set-up, and was ready to go. The trial session calmed me down and I was very confident of her abilities for the wedding. She absolutely knew what to do to make me look beautiful. I paid the full amount of my balance a few weeks before the wedding. She received it without any issue when I mailed in the payment. The day of the wedding, she was on-time. As my hotel wasn't very easy to find, this meant that she gave herself ample time to find the hotel. That's what professionalism is all about. She had to do my maid-of-honor's hair and makeup, my hair and makeup, and my now-mother-in-law's hair. She did a great job on everyone, and everyone could not believe how beautiful I was at the wedding (I know it's almost like a back-handed comment...am I pretty ugly normally?). She even had a little backup kit for me to keep to help touch-up my makeup when necessary. The makeup did last for over 12 hours, with very little touch-up needed. If anything, the curl in my hair was almost gone by the 10th hour, which my bridesmaids were able to curl right back up. She was also super-patient with one of my friends, who had forgotten hairspray, and who asked to use hers. And she was super-patient with the videographer and photographer when they needed to get shots of me getting my makeup on. That sort of patience can be difficult to find. So, Denise deserves all the possible stars she can get. I have absolutely no complaints about her work, she was great to work with, and there were only high regard for her work. Thank you so much, Denise!

Our shared bride, Caitie, as well as all her bridesmaids, looked absolutely stunning! I've worked many weddings but was very taken aback at how glowy and seamless all of their hair and makeup was at this event. Normally after standing in the sun and dancing, the wedding party begins to look a bit weathered with natural wear and tear on the overall look, especially with eye shadow smearing, etc. Cynthia and her team, on the other hand, did FANTASTIC work, with everyone looking flawless until the very end of the night! Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day. I wish I'd known about this team before my own wedding in 2024, and I will absolutely be referring her to all our future clients.

Edit: After I made this review, Emily reached out to me and sincerely apologized. It warmed my…read moreheart that she came to me directly and offered to make things up to me in some way. She even offered a refund but I could not in good conscience take it. Emily worked hard and did her very best. She was sweet and my face makeup was everything I wanted. I decided to change the style of my hair after the trial and did not redo the trial. I also believe that she did not have enough experience with my hair type and texture to honor what I wanted. I suppose in retrospect all I can say is she did her best and I respect that. If you are looking to book her and you happen to change your mind about the style after the hair trials, based on my own experience I would recommend to do another before your big day. Overall, she is a great person and an even better artist. Original post: I got married last year October 2025 and I have been thinking about my experience here and I just can't keep my experience to myself anymore. I really really wanted to like this business, I liked the K drama idol glam, the pictures she posted seemed so well done, and when I met her she was sweet. I liked Asian style make up because it was natural and seamless, which is what I wanted. She did an incredible job with my makeup and it really did stay all night! I showed her an inspiration picture and she nailed it. But, what went wrong, was my hair. I should have known when I saw the demographic of her portfolio. This is to say, I am Caucasian and have thin fizzy oily hair. And well, in all honesty I don't think Emily had lot of experience with my kind of hair. I asked for a half up have down style with curls for my trial hair and makeup. She did it and my first thought was that it was messy. I recognized that maybe this was part of the style and went for a different style. In retrospect, I should have done another hair trial as soon as I changed my mind about the style I wanted but I couldn't have afforded it. Anyway, as for my curls I let her know my hair is pretty shapeless and thin, so curls need extra time to set a a light product to hold. I ended up with curls that heavy and caked with product that lasted a grand total of 30 minutes. I went to Emily and told her my experience and she just said that my hair didn't hold a curl very well so she would have to add more product and go slowly with each curl. So I took it upon myself to do 2 things, choose one of the sturdiest curl styles of "glam waves" and find my own product and test it myself to know it worked. Shout out to davines. I had even used the product myself to curl my hair and saw that it lasted a couple days when I did it myself. I was confident, I had seen the portfolio pictures where Emily had done glam waves and she confirmed she could do them. I had had picked and tested a product that I knew worked. Then I even got hair extensions so that the texture of the hair extensions could help to hold my hair exactly in place. Well, it still didn't work out. First, as I was getting my hair done, there was a strong scent of burned hair. It was so strong that my mother in law and sisters in law came in and were actually concerned something was wrong. We went on with the hair appointment and seeing as she had a picture of the glam waves I wanted, and said she could do it and did it before, I sat and waited. I waited for her to be done. When I finally got to see, it was not what I asked for. Again in retrospect this is what hair trials are for and I don't blame Emily, I do believe she did her best but just did not have enough experience with my type of hair. Emily had done generic curls that were heavy and crunchy with product, my hair was heavy and smelled. What was disappointing is that I did not get Hollywood glam waves. The curls were not even in a single direction and It did not look like she combed out the curls and set them as waves. I was extremely disappointed but I was out of time. I had to accept what was done and go off to my wedding! Now when I look at my photos I see my hair and I am upset to think that it did not turn out the way I imagined. I really wish she had been honest about not knowing how to work with my hair so I could find someone else. All in all I loved my makeup but I was unhappy with my hair.
