Violet created two very different looks for me--one for our Friday welcome party and one for the wedding day--and she nailed both of them perfectly. Everything held up beautifully all night, through photos and hours of dancing! Beyond her talent, she was just a lovely and calming presence to have around. She was amazing with my family as well, making everyone feel comfortable and look their best. She was also so flexible and accommodating with several last-minute changes to our schedule, which we appreciated so much. We couldn't have been happier!

I hired Violet for my wedding hair and makeup years ago, and unfortunately did not have a good…read moreexperience. She did an amazing trial and I was so excited. The day of my wedding, she had extremely poor planning and time management, and decided it was smart to start me, the bride, last. That resulted in me literally being late, with her rushing to finish. The end result was a mess, it was awful. When I texted her photos afterwards politely expressing my disappointment (with trial and wedding photos attached), she did not offer to refund me but instead offered to redo my hair and makeup again for wedding photo retakes - strange, as how I clearly could not retake photos from that day and had no plans to pay tons of money for another post-wedding photo shoot?? Would have preferred my money back. Or better planning to begin with.

Jessie Hoang was absolutely incredible to work with for my wedding. From the very beginning, her…read morecommunication was clear, warm, and professional, and she made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Jessie works quickly while still being incredibly detail-oriented, and she has an amazing ability to understand exactly how you want your makeup to look and then bring that vision to life flawlessly. Also my hair and make up lasted all day plus survived misty rain and a heavy veil! Her team was also exceptional and highly skilled, and everyone helped create such a calm and enjoyable getting-ready experience on the wedding day. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely taken care of in her hands. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a talented, intuitive, and truly wonderful makeup artist!

I was preparing to tell her how I wanted to change the trial makeup to something more pink, but that morning, Jessie brought up the idea of changes to me first! She suggested a pink look would look better and I was impressed because I felt the same way. I appreciated that Jessie spoke out about what she thought would look better on me; I felt like she had my back! In total, we had 11 people who needed both hair and makeup. I was worried that it would take a very long time, but Jessie and her two assistants run like a well-oiled machine! Started at 8am, done by 1230pm! All my girls looked beautiful!! The makeup lasted all day! Jessie even gave me a little pouch of materials for touch up, but I didn't need it! My hair also stayed in place all night long! She even taught my bridesmaids how to help put on and remove my veil without messing up my hair or the flowers in it! She knew how to solve any and all makeup/hair issues with no problem; it was obvious that she's very knowledgeable and experienced. I would HIGHLY recommend her for any event!

There was not much I needed to communicate to Hera -- she just knew how to work with my features and how to best compliment them! She has studied western and eastern makeup and she understands my face!!! Haha I went to her home/makeup studio to do a hair and makeup trial. My wedding was in SF and we were staying at the Marriott. Everything with her felt seamless. She was incredibly accommodating even after I felt annoying for adding on more bridesmaids etc to the makeup/hair list. I felt so beautiful and taken care of by her. She's incredibly kind, patient, and thoughtful. I'm excited to have her do more important events in my life :)

I loved everything about my makeup and hair on both days--my banquet day and city hall elopement day. Hera is kind, quick, professional, and knew exactly what my mom and I wanted. My mom had never worn makeup before, and Hera worked wonders, bringing out our natural beauty instead of masking it (the makeup/falsies also felt light and comfortable to be in all day long). My hair and makeup stayed perfect all day! I wanted a classic updo that looked full and natural but I have fine, thin hair and didn't think it would work. Fortunately, Hera is very talented and was able to make my low bun updo look full and natural with the perfect amount of volume! I can't say enough about her work--she's super talented, professional, and somehow knows exactly what the client wants without much direction. On top of that, she was easy to work with, always on time (if not early!), and incredibly accommodating. If you book with Hera, you won't regret it!

I have less tolerance for pain and for that I have been staying away from eyebrow threading or waxing. The first time I visited Danica, she took a look and said that she can do tweezing instead of waxing. I didn't trust her initially but let her take care of my eyebrow. She did an amazing job, very detailed and when she was done, I was very much satisfied with her work and it didn't pain much. I go for basic facial treatment to her. She does an excellent job in pore extraction and my skin feels lot better and fresh. I literally get tears swelled up while pore extraction but that's coz she does good job at it.

You are in Burlingame so I was expecting better quality products used for a professional makeup appointment.!My eyeliner was not good and my eyelashes were curled after being placed. My makeup was rushed and you could tell. I had to redo my whole entire makeup prior to the event. I had to go to Sephora and apply different eyelashes as I was short on time. It was a disaster. I will not be going back and will not put my picture on this review because I am embarrassed on how bad it was. I was contacted via text message and told the services were rushed. I informed them I would not have paid for the service but had no choice and paid. I was asked to remove this review in order to get 50% money back. I said no this is important that other people see these reviews when booking appointments on their special day. The information listed below by the owner is incorrect. I was not informed I would only get 30 minutes for a makeup that sounds incorrect. Also to correct dark circles you need to add corrector. No high end makeup was offered at all. Every product used was cheap. The owner refuses to accept this review. Also my friend who went after me had the same experience and had to re do her makeup prior to the event. Save yourself from ruining ur special day and shop wisely when getting your makeup done on your special day. It really can ruin it for you. I was told that if I remove the posting I could get 50% back. If not she would not work with me as she did her job. I would not call this a professional makeup appointment.
