I hired Jen for my wedding, and I'm so glad I did! We were planning on a tight timeline due to a family situation, and so many vendors were challenging to get ahold of. Jen emailed me back within a day with all her details and information, and I was so excited. I shared photos with her, and she worked with me and my hair/skin concerns to get a look that I loved. I had my trial with her about two weeks before my wedding so we could also have a trial shoot with our photographer. I rarely wear makeup, and I was blown away by how good I looked and felt - like the best version of myself. The makeup also photographed wonderfully. Jen was so kind and funny, which made the getting ready process on the wedding day so much less stressful. My makeup also lasted through a hot day at City Hall, a windy outdoor photoshoot, and a dinner with dancing, somehow without creasing or running. Sorcery!!! Thank you, Jen!! read more

I was in search of a hair and makeup artist a few days out from my maternity photoshoot due to some last minute schedule changes and Jennifer was super accessible and professional from the initial reach out. Once I arrived and met her in person, it was as if we had met before - she is approachable, friendly, and makes you feel like an old friend. Now onto the actual hair and makeup - her talent far exceeded my expectations! I gave her a general idea of what I was going for and she was able to quickly run with it and when she showed me the finished product at the end, I was so thrilled. I love the way it looked both in person and the way it photographed (pictures attached). I would highly recommend booking JT artistry for your hair and makeup needs! I didn't want to wash my face or undo my hair after the photoshoot because it looked so good, haha! read more

I hired Jen to do makeup and hair for my wedding entourage and I'm so glad I did! Jen and her team kindly did hair and makeup for 8 of us the morning of my wedding. They were so friendly and fun to work with and we all looked amazing. I didn't want anything too heavy or overdone since I was getting married midday; I had friends who wanted a bit heavier of a look; and I have a 70 year old mom who just wanted to feel pretty. Jen and her team accomplished it all! And she was a dream to communicate with. I would work with her again! read more

I booked Jennifer from JT Artistry for my SF City Hall wedding. My experience was great from the start. I live about 400 miles from where my wedding was taking place, so I was worried about how a trial run would work. We emailed back and forth discussing inspiration pictures, my dress, etc. She had mentioned having plenty of out of town brides and that the trial wasn't 100% necessary, but my nerves got the best of me, so I just booked a mid-week turn-around trip and scheduled the trial. I'm SO glad I did. My trial appointment was for 11am, and by late afternoon I realized the liquid makeup wasn't going to cooperate with my ridiculously oily skin. Plus, it just felt a little heavier than I was hoping for. I let her know all of my concerns once I'd gotten back home. She totally got me, and she decided we'd use airbrush makeup the day of the wedding. It turned out GREAT!! It was so natural looking and I didn't need any sort of blotting or touch-ups all day! I also found a new inspo pic for my hair long after the trial, showed it to her the morning of the wedding and she NAILED it. We took a 2 hour trolley ride around San Francisco after the ceremony stopping for pictures at various (windy) spots, and my hair 100% stayed put the entire time! read more

Jennifer is incredibly talented, professional, and personable! Both my engagement photo session and wedding day hair and makeup were done so well. For my engagement photos, I didn't do a trial beforehand and instead sent her inspiration photos. When we finally met in person, I immediately felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. I was really impressed with how the engagement photo hair and makeup turned out so I hired her for my wedding day. Highly recommend! read more

Jen did an AMAZING job with my wedding hair and makeup. She listened carefully to what I wanted, gave me great suggestions on different lipsticks (I wanted to buy my own in advance), and took careful notes during our trial session (which I highly recommend - great way to make sure things are perfect for the day of). I wanted my hair and makeup to look natural but also photograph well. She did an amazing job. Lasted all day - even through crying and an extremely windy visit to Fort Point. You will not regret hiring her for your special day. read more

Jen did my engagement and wedding day hair and makeup, and I could not have been more pleased! She is quick to respond, organized, and very professional. Above all that, she is super talented! I told her what I wanted and showed some example Pinterest photos, and she was able to re-create the look while keeping true to what I wanted. She enhanced my beauty but also made sure that I still looked like myself. If you want a dependable hair and makeup artist for your special occasions, I highly recommend working with Jen. I love her and her team! read more

When I first looked through pictures of Jen's work on Instagram, I knew I wanted her to do my makeup and hair for my wedding! Jen is also the sweetest. I skipped the trial, showed Jen examples and also described what I wanted: a natural, soft, timeless look. I don't wear makeup often, and when I do, I keep it pretty light. For my hair, I just wanted it half up and with loose curls and some flowers. On the day of, Jen showed up early which is great for a nervous bride. I absolutely loved my makeup and hair!!! Both were exactly what I wanted. My husband said she did an amazing job, and I received compliments from other family members and guests. My makeup lasted through some tears and also turned out really well in the photos. Jen really seems to know what makeup will complement each individual. Would highly recommend! read more

Jen did such a great job on my special day. I found her on yelp after reviewing her website on the style, great source with photos of her work. I loved how my hair and makeup turned out, the key is she nailed it exactly what I had imagine. Jen is professional, well-manner and listens well. As a bonus, She is definitely a sweet gal to make you feel special. Felt like I was chatting with a close girlfriend during my session, there was a lot of laughter and comfort having her there on such nervous but exciting special day. I hope Jen will continue her work and certainly looking forward to work with her in the future. Her talent is a gift and blessing. Felt great writing this review just to re-living the moment a little. *Smiling & Feeling Lucky* read more

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is one of my favorite times of the year. Three days full of magical people watching. Three days full of hazy crowds. Three days full of blissful music. Three days of me waking up early to go big. And by big - I mean I go big. I am probably the only person that I know that will go out of their way to get dolled up for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. I will buy outfits for each day. I will style my hair. I will stock up on healthy food. And yes - every year - I will get my makeup done professionally. I go big - because you just never know who you're going to meet at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Truly. Jen from JT Artistry has done my make-up three times now for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and she has done an amazing job each time. I have been thoroughly impressed by her professionalism throughout all of our interactions. She is quick to respond. She is thorough in all of her follow-up questions. She is reasonably priced - considering her years of experience and talents. And best of all - she is flexible and willing to travel to you - the day of. Amazing. Jen will bring her impressive array of makeup to you and she will transform your bare face into a stunning vision with her careful eye for detail and color. While skillfully placing eyelashes on your lovely shaded eye-lids, she'll also charm you with her easy going and wonderful personality. And don't stress about touch-ups - since her magnificent face art is long lasting. Jen is definitely my go-to makeup magician for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a makeup artist for a special occasion. Trust. read more

Jen is an amazing makeup & hair artist who I would recommend to anyone. She has beautified me twice before, and I look forward to working with her more! She has the ability to achieve just the look you are asking for. Also, she is very professional and you can tell she has a lot of experience. She did great natural yet glamorous makeup with false eye lashes as well as curled hair on me. The second time Jen did my makeup, I had to swim under water in a pool for a photo shoot. After being under water, the makeup miraculously stayed put! That was another sign that Jen uses quality products and applies the products very efficiently! She really knows what she is doing. Jen is fun to work with and easy to get along with. You won't be disappointed with her :) read more

I've known Jen for quite some time now and have worked with her numerous of times. I believe the first time I've ever worked with her was for the SF Hep B Free Campaign calendar shoot back in 2010. Meeting her for the first time felt like we had already been friends for years! Jen works hard and continuously refines her craft. She can take an idea and make it into something grand. From natural to the most creative ideas, Jen's got it down! I loved working with her on projects and cant wait to collaborate with her again! read more

I was asked to take a few head shot for a consumer marketing position, which required meeting high end clients. The job requires a good face, and I wanted to be able to compete with a lot of other people. My photographer advised that I reach out to JT Artistry. I contacted JT Artistry and spoke to Jen Toy. We set up a time and met at the shoot. Hours before the shoot, I had met the owner of JT Artistry, Jen. Jen asked me questions on what kind of look I was going for, or what I'd be comfortable doing. I'm a guy. The type that has no idea about make up, technique, or shades of complexion. I'm not a professional model. Jen was able to translate everything such as techniques and phrases used from the industry superstars into something that I can understand. I just told her I wanted a natural look, and that I wanted to do anything as long as it wasn't outside of my comfort zone. She was very sincere and precise when profiling what kind of look I was going for, and what the photographer wanted to capture. She was gentle, and took me through each step of the process. The best part is that she made sure I would be comfortable with what she was doing to my face. I feel someone who cares about the people she's working with or for has an amazing amount of patience, commitment, and team work. I was pretty anxious, because this was the first time I've tried anything like this. The result... WOW. I felt all my impurities became smoothed out, and everything looked natural. I actually had a crowd of people gathering around me in excitement, probably from me being nervous about the whole thing, but they also really liked how the light reflected on my newly and evenly, toned complexion. I felt really good about the way I looked. Everything turned out great, but Jen's ability to guide and consult me through the process really diminished the stigma of getting your make up done (for a guy)! Her consultation is very professional, and she is very caring. Her work is great. After this shoot, I had worked with a few make up artists that didn't really try to go with what I was looking for. When I worked with Jen again, I felt like she always got it right. I highly recommend JT Artistry. read more

I definitely recommend Jen 100%. She did such an amazing job doing my hair and makeup for my civil wedding. She delivered everything I asked of her on what kind of look I was going for. I sent her a couple of pictures/inspirations of styles that I liked and also mentioned some of my concerns: my hair lacks volume, my hair doesn't hold curls too well for too long, my face gets oily throughout the day, not a fan of heavy makeup but still wanted it to show through photos. My makeup was light but still showed and was intact the whole day with NO touch ups required (considering it was one HOT day and we had spent half of the time outdoors taking pictures), the volume and curls on my hair lasted until the morning after (which could have lasted longer but I had to shower and wet my hair already). I am overall completely satisfied and would go back if I ever needed to get my hair and makeup done again. read more

I met Jen at the Modern Bridal Fashion Show in San Francisco. She is so easy to talk to and just a pleasure to be around. When she was doing my makeup for the fashion show I had no idea what the director had ask for but I knew it would be classy and dramatic. When I finally got to see myself I was BLOWN AWAY! I did not look or feel like a had a ton of makeup on (even though runway makeup is heavier). My eyes really popped, the contouring was done so beautifully and the overall effect was gorgeous. I highly recommend using her! read more

JT Artistry - I can't begin to describe how great Jen is! Talented, efficient, and professional. A pleasure to work with - Makeup Artists Near Me - San Francisco, California

I wanted to treat myself recently and I thought ..."What about getting that makeup lesson from Jen?!" Now I have done a fair amount of professional makeup jobs, being in the beauty industry, but that specific "pro/polished" look eluded me all these years IMO despite the books, classes, product and youtube videos!! Jen is SO easy to work with. Very mellow. I do realize it helps that both of our backgrounds are in working with MAC makeup. We spent an hour and a half going over what makeup I had, what didn't match/work and technique. Her skills and expertise are invaluable. Details make a HUGE difference. I have since picked up a couple of the brushes and product I didn't have in my kit and would've never thought of getting. Every suggestion was completely right on. Wonderful gift to give yourself!!! Every woman should do it. read more

Jen is a masterful makeup artist, with flexibility & professionalism to match. With her years of MAC makeup experience & her own recent experience getting married, she did flawless makeup & hair that lasted throughout a wedding ceremony, reception & dinner with minimal/no retouching. Most importantly, she was responsive & flexible in the last few days leading up to the wedding. We had to move our start time slightly earlier, add another guest, and Jen was accommodating to all requests. Even a hair request that differed from the trial was executed on perfectly. Highly recommend Jen for all occasions! read more

I love Jennifer!!! She did so great on my bridal hair and makeup. I opted out of the trial session to save some money and I'm glad that even without it, my hair and makeup turned out perfect. I almost never wear make up and when I do, it's light and natural. That was my goal when I reached out to her and she delivered what I asked for. She made my skin glow and dewy, and my makeup was just how I wanted it to look. The products she used were light on the skin and the airbrushed makeup lasted all throughout the end of the night. The cherry on top is, she was so fun to work with and I really enjoyed my time with her. It didn't even feel stressful because we were just talking and laughing the whole time. She was easy to work with and very flexible. As for pricing, her price is definitely competitive and reasonable compared to other makeup artists in the area. I highly recommend her! read more

I would absolutely recommend Jen for your special day. She was very responsive and organized leading up to my wedding. Jen was flexible and came to my apartment so I was comfortable during our time together. She was personable with me and my family and made me feel and look beautiful. I sent a few photos of what I wanted and she nailed the hair and makeup look I was going for, and then some. I got natural makeup with airbrush and a low chignon so that I could look like me but still special for my big day. I got so many compliments and the best part is that my hair and makeup lasted from 10 AM - 11 PM with only lipstick touch ups! If you're looking for someone down to earth and professional, hire Jen ASAP. read more

Jen is AMAZING! I reached out to Jen in early December with the unique idea of throwing a small make-up tutorial party as a Christmas gift for my girlfriends; where Jen would come and teach us different make-up styles/techniques and we would follow along. Turns out, Jen had already done many of these in the past (so not as unique as I thought...) and agreed to the event. She was extremely professional and prepared. She asked us what we wanted to learn before hand, brought face printouts so we could take notes, and even gave out a few goodies. We all learned so much! For those looking for an actual review of her work- During the event, Jen used me as her muse to coach my friends and I looked liked like a beautiful natural-looking and Asian version of Kim K... sooo I can vouch for her artistry as well! Can't recommend her enough, thank you Jen! read more

I feel so blessed to have discovered Jennifer Toy of JT Artistry! She is highly experienced and well trained in professional hair and makeup, very dedicated to her craft.... and it shows! It was so much fun getting to know more about her during my trial appointment in my bedroom on a stormy morning the month prior. Just a quick glance at my Pinterest inspiration board and she totally nailed the look I was hoping to achieve, but I looked even better! Spending that enjoyable time together gave me the extra confidence that the morning of my wedding would be a joyful, peaceful experience for myself and my wedding party. She arrived on time, ready to work, and has such a calming, sweet personality that makes everyone fall in love with her. On my wedding day, Jennifer expertly styled us all --- myself, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and flower girl --- exactly as we envisioned, taking it up a notch and our look stayed perfect throughout the wedding day and night. Our flower girl loved her cute curls and touch of lip gloss. And having that extra bit of professional lipstick in my purse for later in the night was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. Not only for our wonderful wedding, but also for future glam events, I am so thankful that Jennifer's special expertise is available to me here in San Francisco! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Jen and her team. Jen, Jenice, and Megan did the hair and makeup for my wedding (9 people total), and I owe it to her (and anyone reading this) to express how amazing of an experience I had. Makeup is one of my hobbies, so finding a good hair and makeup artist was extremely important to me. I spent months emailing makeup artists, setting up phone calls, reviewing contracts, etc. Each person I spoke to left a bad taste in my mouth. Some were super slow to respond, some avoided my questions, and for some I just didn't like their makeup style. I thought I would never find a makeup artist who suited my needs. And then I found Jenn. From our first interaction, I was blown away by Jenn's professionalism. I emailed her about 15 questions, and she sent me a very thorough reply about 15 minutes later. She asked me questions about my dress and my vision for hair/makeup. She responded promptly and thoroughly to all of my emails and answered every single question I had. When we met for my trial, Jen had just gotten married herself. She is super easy to talk to and very relatable. She was familiar with the looks I had in mind (hello, Pinterest) and completed my makeup with ease. When I pointed out a few things that I'd like to do differently, she didn't take it personally at all and made adjustments to suit my preferences. On the wedding day, she and her crew showed up right on time. They did hair and makeup for a variety of age ranges (20s - 60s), races (white, mixed, and Asian), and hair textures (straight, curly, fine, and thick). Everything looked amazing, and my bridal party was so happy. Jen's work is exceptional. She even left me with not one but TWO thank you cards and a gift! I could not be happier. Thank you, Jen!!! read more

Jennifer did my makeup for my wedding day and I have to say I not only had the most magical wedding but also felt like the most beautiful bride! Before the wedding day, Jennifer met up with me to figure out the best look for the big day. She took time to hear to my preferences and really listened. Then tirelessly, she worked with me to make sure we found a look that I'd feel not only beautiful but comfortable in. Through out the whole time, she was not only easy and fun to work with, she was also very professional and meticulous in her work. She was attentive to details without losing efficiency, used gentle touches that was never harsh or careless, and always used clean tools and makeup supplies. These were the little things that I appreciate about Jennifer! On my wedding day, I had five bridesmaids that also needed to have their makeup done. Jennifer worked out a morning hair/makeup timeline to make sure there would be a smooth flow of each girl between hair and makeup. Thanks to her schedule, everything went beautifully smooth! And I have to say, I not only absolutely LOVED how Jennifer did my makeup, I couldn't believe how beautiful each of my bridesmaids looked as well. Jennifer was able to create a slightly unique look for each girl while still maintaining that cohesiveness of the color pallet between all of us. She is that good. Through out the entire wedding day, I felt completely comfortable in my makeup. That was important for me because in the midst of everything going on the day of the wedding, I was glad that there was one less thing for me to have to worry about. And with how fast everything moved that day, I really didn't have any time for touch ups. But at the end of the night, I was surprised at how my makeup lasted through the day with me! I couldn't give Jennifer enough props for how wonderful of a job she did for me and my bridesmaids and I can't thank her enough for making me feel as beautiful as I did on my wedding day~ read more

I have never written any review on yelp and since this is my first ever, i would like to give it to Jennifer who made me look beautiful on my wedding day=) She did an amazing job with my hair and make-up.

Jen is a ROCKSTAR! I have to say that first of all that when I emailed JT Artistry about availability and price Jen wrote me back ASAP with answers to all of my questions. Let's just say that the last time I paid someone to do my hair and makeup it was for a high school dance and I came home and washed it all off and redid everything myself. Scary doesn't even begin to describe it. So I was a little apprehensive to hire someone for my first photo shoot for my new website / coaching business. I didn't have time to fix it if it wasn't what I wanted so I better choose the perfect person which I did! = JEN! Jen showed up right on time with all of her supplies and a huge welcoming smile on her face. We had so much fun hanging out and getting to know one another while she did her thing. I surprisingly wasn't nervous at all. Jen has this amazing calm, confident and warm energy...I felt like I was hangin' with a good girlfriend. :) Jen makes sure you get exactly what you want. She did an amazing job of capturing the look/feel of what I wanted and was done right on time for the photographer. I LOVED the results and was so impressed that my makeup / hair held up ALL DAY! She gave me a little extra color to touch up my lips and that was all I needed. Jen is SO TALENTED at what she does. Make sure you check out her before/after pics on her site. And like I said she gave me exactly what I was hoping for. Not so scary after all... HIRE JEN. You won't be disappointed! She will definitely be the ONLY hair/makeup artist that I'll work with. :) Gia read more

Jen was a huge component of making my wedding day perfect. First off, I really am a makeup n00b, so the thought of wearing a lot of it on my wedding day was always a little scary because I wanted to look natural, not totally glammed up. Second, being a women of color is kinda hard when it comes to wedding stuff. We are hugely underrepresented in the industry, therefore its difficult to find beauty providers that understand our different skin types and needs. I spent a long time researching and deliberating on what to do and who to trust. ENTER JEN: Amazing, responsive, fun, reasonable person, who also does AMAZING makeup for all skin types and colors. I did a trial with her about 5-6 weeks before my wedding - I was going to a friends wedding so it was a perfect scenario - I got a wear my makeup all day and go to dinner and dance and drink. And to my very pleasant surprise, my makeup didn't budge one bit! That made me even more confident about my choice to go with Jen for my big day. So of course, on my wedding day, everything was perfect, and my make up didn't budge and even though it was 1am when I got back to my hotel I didn't want to take my makeup off because I still looked AMAZING. I cannot thank her enough. I would recommend Jen for her broad spectrum of knowledge and beatification to anyone! read more

Ok, I never post multiple reviews but just had to for Jennifer and JT Artistry. Jennifer did makeup for my wife and her bridesmaids at our wedding. Over a year later, I am best man in another wedding and guess who is doing the makeup and hair for the bride and bridesmaids? Yup, it was Jennifer. It was great to see her and catch up with her again. Jennifer did a fabulous job again. I can't say enough about how I, and I believe most guys, appreciate having their bride's makeup be complimentary and not clashing or over done. Too often, makeup artists for weddings are so heavy handed. Jennifer really has an eye for customizing makeup looks that really accent each girl's face. Jennifer has mastered her art. She does the makeup very effortlessly. She doesn't think about it. I think it's a sign of her mastery of the techniques and her ability to see the finished product before getting there. The other thing about Jennifer is that she's easy to work with. She just has a very friendly, personable, and gentle way about her. I think it's especially important for brides to like and feel comfortable with the person doing their makeup. She also listens and works with each individual girl. I was surprised, but actually not surprised, to learn that Jennifer does a lot of professional photo shoots with models and films. I guess she worked for some company named MAC before which my wife says is like the Harvard of makeup, or the FBI of law enforcement. I saw some of the photos and although those are more dramatic, I'm really impressed by how she tones it down for weddings. She really knows what effect she needs to pull off. Word of advice to the groom, make sure your bride picks a makeup artist that does a job that you will like. You don't want overly caked-on makeup when you're standing up on the altar saying, "I do". And for brides, make sure you are completely confident and happy with the makeup artist way before the wedding. Do those trials prior to the wedding to be sure that the makeup artist knows what you want. Makeup artists are like photographers, there are so many amateurs out there; make sure you pick a good one. You definitely should consider Jennifer. She's got such high reviews for a reason. Also, make sure you book her ASAP because her schedule really fills up. I have another friend getting married who was not able to book Jennifer because Jennifer was already booked. Do yourself a favor and book a trial, you brides. And as far as price, I don't even remember what we paid but it was worth it. Jennifer definitely delivered high-end service and a top-notch product. Makeup is definitely one area you don't want to skimp on wedding day. read more

Jen is not only talented in her craft but she is so pleasant to work with! My bridal party and I had the best time with her and Steph who did killer hair. She has the ability to transform you without masking your natural beauty. Jen takes the time to listen to your needs and combined with providing her expertise, creates a dynamite formula for you and your girls to look beautiful for the day of your wedding. After I returned from our honeymoon, I was surprised with a little gift filled with beauty goodies she had mailed to me! Jen is so genuine and hope to stay connected with her for future beauty services and new friend! read more

Jen is one of my favorite makeup artists in the Bay Area. I've had Jen do my makeup for a few events I've attended over the last couple years and I'm always amazed with her work! I usually won't have my makeup done by other people because I don't like looking cake faced but I've NEVER had that problem with Jen, ever! We always sit and discuss what look I want or what she envisions for me. Jen makes me feel very comfortable when I'm having my makeup done by her, I'm never nervous about the final look because I know she's light handed and her blending skills are amazing! If you asked me to describe my experiences with Jen in one sentence I'd definitely say "Less is more," because she knows how to accentuate my features with very few products. Thanks, Jen! read more

I met Jen on the 18th after having a scheduled shoot with a photographer. She was the assigned makeup artist and let me tell you, she was simply amazing! Super professional and easy to talk to, never have I met a MAC trained makeup artist who does flawless work...until now. I am extremely meticulous when it comes to makeup, and every single time I have it done, I feel like many leave my face lacking in it's full beauty potential, but ladies the search is over. Jen will never fail to make you look your absolute BEST! I then worked with Jen again the following week where we did a natural beauty shoot. Here, is where I saw the true testimony to her makeup. Her expertise in bridal, wedding, and natural makeup will have you looking GORGEOUS! She is extremely precise. She even has hair stylist skills that will make you look effortlessly flawless. I can't rave enough about her. Did I mention that she's great to talk to?! In my opinion, an overall experience is never complete unless I receive great customer service as well. Avoid the snobby cosmetic counter girls and go directly with Jen. She really is awesome. read more

You should absolutely hire Jen for your hair/make up needs. She was recommended to me by a friend that had previously worked with her on multiple occasions. Jen is very friendly, professional and does really great work. I had hired her to do hair and make up for both me and my mother for my wedding last Halloween (sorry, this is way overdue). She not only helped me to create a look that made me feel very beautiful on my wedding day, she also made my mom feel glamorous as well (which is no small feat, my mom has been suffering from chronic pain and her self-esteem has taken a dive since she isn't as active as she used to be). I would recommend Jen to anyone, for any occasion. Hire her, you won't regret it! read more

Jennifer is great!!! She was hired for my wedding to do my aunts and mother in law, all picky women. She handled herself professionally, she was patient and she accommodated all of their requests. Make up and hair was amazing on all of the women. Highly recommend Jennifer. She will meet your needs. Satisfied Bride!!!1 read more

Jen did my hair and makeup for my wedding. She also did the hair and makeup for seven of my bridesmaids. We were all really pleased with Jen's amazing demeanor and work. I had one hair and makeup trial, and one additional hair trial because I was unsure how I wanted my hair for the wedding. Jen was super accommodating, and even came my office for one of trials. She is always super professional, and has such a wonderful energy. The day of the wedding is so stressful, so I was extra appreciative of the calmness she brought to the day. I felt like a princess in large part to Jen's amazing work. My makeup was flawless, but I still looked like me. She just knew how to accentuate the good, without making me look unnatural, which is exactly what I wanted. She even gave me some lip gloss and mascara in a cute makeup bag so I could reapply later that night. I really can't recommend Jen and her team enough. Thank you! read more

Jen, and her crew of 2 really nice others whose names escape me, did my hair and make-up for my wedding (as well as my 11 bridesmaids, yes 11!). They were on time, super professional, super sweet and REALLY good at what they do! She came over to my house (in rush hour traffic!) to do the trial beforehand and we played around with different hair styles for a long time and then we came to the perfect look. She made me feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day! I hightly recommend her :) read more

I have worked with Jen, corporately and privately, on many occasions and always recommend her to people seeking talented makeup artists. I first met Jen when I hired her for our photo shoots at a clothing design company. She is very easy to work with, sociable, and professional. She asks for honest feedback to continue to perfect her skill set and makes sure that her work is in line with your vision. We continued to hire her on as our preferred makeup artist as often as we could. Because her schedule fills up fast, we would lose her to other gigs sometimes so book quick and in advance!! I recently hired her for a wedding that I was coordinating for someone very special to me. Jen was very accommodating while scheduling for a trial session and took her time to listen to the bride's dream wedding makeover. This was also the first time that I hired her to do MY makeup and hair! I'm usually really fussy with makeup and hairstyles because I'm plain (and incapable of producing anything close to presentable). She gave me beautiful loose curls because I told her I like my hair to be light and the makeup she did was comfortable to wear all day. Jen is very punctual and fun to work with. It is really hard to find a makeup artist you trust and enjoy working with but when you find them, you don't let go!! read more

Jen is a magic worker when it comes to makeup and hair. She did an amazing sexy natural look for an event I had. This girl knows her stuff! from contouring to false eyelashes. On top of that she makes you feel comfortable and relaxed-- easy to work with! She is definitely amazing and I would recommend her to anyone! I would LOVE to ask her to visit SoCal again to do my makeup for ALL my events. Thanks Jen!! read more

Jen is an amazing artist and a person! What else I can say! I met her at one of the weddings I was shooting and I loved the way she did the make up and hair of my bride. And not only that, she doesn't waste time like some other make up and hair stylists in talking. She works pretty fast and straight to the point. She know what she is doing. She is knowledgeable, creative and fun. She is a great collaborator to work with her on a photo shoot. For a photographer like me who is trying to capture more portraits of the bride by herself before the ceremony I can't wish for more. If the make up artist takes most of the time before the ceremony that means less photos for the bride. I even hired her personally. She did my make-up and hair for my maternity portraits and I recommended her to few of my clients who used her and they were extremely happy with her proficient work and service. I have worked with Jen few times on a set and she is so easy to work with. Just hire her and you wouldn't regret. She does love what she does for living. And I will keep recommending her for engagement photo session, weddings, maternity, glamour, boudoir and all kind of portraits or just to get your hair and make up done to go out for a special event. read more

Jen was my go-to makeup artist for my wedding. I was a bridesmaid at my sister's wedding where Jen was the makeup artist. I thought she did such a great job that I wanted her to be the makeup artist for my own wedding and for my bridal party. Besides makeup, she also did my hair. Jen was tremendous. I had several hair and makeup trials with her and each time, she was patient and kind. She took time in all the trials, always asked me for feedback, and wanted to know how I'd want the makeup/hair adjusted so I was completely happy with the look. She was wonderful to be so caring. She genuinely wanted me to be happy and fully satisfied. On the day of the wedding, she arrived promptly at the hotel and was friendly and professional all the way. She had everyone's makeup timing/schedule figured out beforehand and everything went so smoothly! I was working with a pro. She is a trained MAC artist so is very skilled with makeup and knows how to make any girl feel beautiful. She is not heavy-handed but able to help you achieve that soft, naturally glowing look--- esp great for wedding days! Thanks so much, Jen. You are awesome! read more
