From the moment I walked into Emily's studio, I felt completely at peace. There is something about…read moreher presence that is calm, focused, and intentional. I immediately trusted her, and that trust was more than deserved. During our trial, we explored five completely different looks. She approached each one with such precision and artistry. On pageant day, she did not just do my makeup. She transformed me. She knew exactly how to accentuate my features while still allowing me to look like the most elevated version of myself. My eyes have never looked that defined or luminous. The way she understands color and blending is on another level. Every shade melts seamlessly into the next. It is true artistry. She works beautifully under pressure. Pageant mornings are intense and emotional, yet she remained composed and meticulous the entire time. Her hair skills are just as extraordinary as her makeup skills. She can truly bring any vision to life. As an Eastern Asian woman, I especially appreciate how deeply she understands our features. She enhances instead of masking. She brings out your beauty rather than covering it. I did not have to edit a single photo. The makeup looked flawless in real life, on camera, and on stage under harsh lighting. I received compliments all night, even from my very hard to impress Asian family. And honestly, I attribute so much of my confidence and even my victory as Miss Los Angeles Chinatown 2026 to Emily. She did not just glam me. She elevated me. She made me feel powerful. If you are looking for someone who delivers technical excellence, emotional intelligence, and true artistry all at once, Emily is it. I would trust her with any milestone in my life.

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.

I booked her on March 23rd for my daughter's prom make-up and hair on April 18th…read more At 4:40pm the day before on April 17th she called to say her sitter was in a car accident and she wouldn't be able to take my daughter the next day unless it was at 9:45am or she could refund my deposit. If you are familiar with the industry: she got a better booking that would make her more money and waited last minute to try and force my daughter's appoint to 10 hours before her event. And she's a bad liar...you know the type: they ramble, they over explain, etc. Simply put: she does business dirty. Unless you have a wedding with a large party that will make her more money she won't be loyal to your booking. Lastly, it took over 12 hours from the time it was confirmed I would not be using her, a venmo request, and a text to get my deposit refunded while I scrambled to find a replacement. We booked someone who came in on their birthday weekend when she heard what happened. My daughter looked STUNNING. Girl, bye. Have the life you deserve. Does dirty business.

My makeup photographed beautifully. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered a look that was romantic, polished, and perfect for my wedding. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she was also so kind and fun throughout the process. I received so many compliments on my makeup, and I felt confident and beautiful all day long. She also did three of my bridesmaids and they were IN LOVE with their makeup!! She is a dream come true!! I highly recommend Jicel to any bride looking for flawless, elegant wedding makeup! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Christina! From the moment I met her, she was incredibly sweet, professional, and made me feel completely at ease on my wedding day. She installed my clip-in extensions flawlessly, and they stayed secure and looked absolutely perfect from the first photo of the day until the last dance of the night. My wedding hairstyle was everything I had dreamed of and looked exactly like my inspiration picture--if not better! Christina truly has an amazing eye for detail and made sure every curl and piece was perfectly in place. She also styled three of my bridesmaids, and each of them looked beautiful and unique while still fitting the overall wedding vision. They were obsessed!!! Her talent, efficiency, and warm personality made the entire getting-ready experience so enjoyable, and I am so grateful she was part of my special day. These two are the dream team!

This review is LONG overdue!…read more Michelle has been my go-to hair and makeup artist for almost 10 years, and I can't believe I haven't written this review sooner. She has glammed me up for family photos, graduation photos, weddings, and countless other special events, and she has never disappointed. One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is how incredibly accommodating she is. Many of my events require me to be ready before sunrise, and she's met me at the crack of dawn more times than I can count--sometimes as early as 4:00 AM! Finding someone who is not only willing to do that but also brings such positive energy that early in the morning is priceless. Her studio is so cozy and welcoming that it honestly feels like you're hanging out with a good friend while getting pampered. The conversation always flows naturally, and the entire experience is relaxing and fun instead of rushed or stressful. I also love that she's collaborative. I'll usually bring inspiration photos, and she'll work with me to create a look that fits my style while offering her professional input. She really listens to what you want and somehow makes it even better. And let's talk about how well her work lasts! At my most recent appointment in April for a family wedding, my hair and makeup were finished between 4:00 and 6:00 AM. I then drove from the Rowland Heights area all the way to Las Vegas, spent the entire day and evening celebrating, and my hair and makeup still looked amazing by the end of the night. No touch-ups, no worrying--it held up beautifully through a very long day. Michelle is incredibly talented, dependable, and genuinely one of the sweetest people you'll meet. After nearly a decade of trusting her with some of the most important moments in my life, I can confidently say she's someone you'll want to keep coming back to. I recommend her without hesitation!

From the very…read morebeginning, she was so easy to communicate with and always replied quickly and clearly, which made the whole process feel smooth and stress free. During a season that can feel overwhelming, that meant so much. She sent over a really detailed form that helped me talk through my vision and honestly helped me figure out my vision when I was not 100 percent sure yet, which was a huge plus. The trial was super helpful. I loved being able to test both hair and makeup ahead of time, see how everything photographed, and tweak little things. Jackie was so open to feedback and really took the time to refine everything so it felt perfect for the big day. On the wedding day, everything was seamless. My makeup felt light and comfortable, never heavy, but still lasted all day and night. I truly felt like the best version of myself. I would recommend Jackie to any bride without hesitation!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Joyce Luck Style for our wedding, and we couldn't have…read moreasked for a better experience. Joyce is an incredibly talented hair and makeup artist. Seeing her in action on our wedding day, making sure everything was perfect for us and our families, made us appreciate her even more. Leading up to the wedding, Joyce did a bridal preview session with the bride to discuss and refine the vision for her hair and makeup. This extra step made all the difference--by the time the big day arrived, they were completely in sync, and everything came together flawlessly. When Joyce and her team arrived, they brought such a calm and positive energy, instantly putting everyone at ease. Weddings can be hectic, but they kept everything running smoothly and on schedule while making sure each person felt comfortable and confident. Joyce and her team took care of hair and makeup for the bride, her bridesmaids, and our families. Everyone looked absolutely incredible. She has an amazing ability to enhance each person's natural beauty while tailoring their look to suit their personal style. The results were elegant, timeless, and held up beautifully throughout the entire day--through happy tears, hours of dancing, and all the little emotional moments in between. What truly sets Joyce apart, though, is her warmth and genuine care for her clients. She wasn't just there to do hair and makeup; she was there to make sure everyone felt their best, and she did it with so much kindness, patience, and expertise. We are beyond grateful to have had her as a part of our wedding day and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for a top-tier hair and makeup artist. Joyce Luck Style is simply the best!

Yuri did the makeup for myself (bride), my mom, and my mother in law for my wedding. I would…read moredefinitely recommend her! Yuri made us all look beautiful and she was very flexible for accommodating us considering schedule and venue restraints. My mother wasn't able to fit in a trial (she was flying in just a couple days before the wedding and we were fully booked with other wedding requirements) and my MIL wasn't interested in a trial. My schedule was a bit harder to work with as well. On the day of the wedding, the venue limited the amount of time we had to get ready, so the three appointments needed to be done back to back in a fairly tight timeframe. All of this to say, we were probably weren't the easiest of clients to work with, but Yuri was professional and patient. She accommodated our needs and did a great job, too. She was always really friendly and explained everything I needed to know really clearly. Most of our wedding vendors replied to messages within 24 hours, and her timeline was more like 2-4 days (not a long time, but when trying to coordinate multiple appointments with multiple vendors in tight timeframes, this could feel like a long time), and that's the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, we were all really pleased with Yuri and our finished makeup looks!

Between me and my wedding party, there were people with skin tones varying from dark-skinned to very fair-skinned and from naturally super curly to naturally pin-straight hair. Not only did she and her team do a great job accentuating each of our natural beauty, they made it last all night! As someone with very straight hair, I was very weary of getting my hair curled for my wedding as I was afraid it would all end up falling. Not only did Mayra use the proper products, she told me how to properly prepare my hair, and she used a teasing technique that made my curls hold all day and night....something that never happens. I was very impressed. I did a make-up trial at my house before booking her for my wedding. During the trial, she paid close attention and took detailed notes on how I wanted my make-up done while also recommending what she thought was best for my face. I am someone who is really into make-up and am very particular and detailed with it, so I am typically wary of other people doing my make-up. I have also had other professional make-up artists not do a good job on my make-up in the past, so I was very impressed and happy with how professional and talented Mayra was. And while talent and professionalism are of course what you want the most from a make-up artist, she is also an incredibly sweet person who was truly a joy to work with. It's important to feel comfortable with someone who is going to be in your face for that long and I couldn't have felt more at ease with her. Not to mention her prices are very affordable considering how skilled her whole team is. I'm lucky to have been able to book her.
