If you want to look absolutely flawless on your wedding day, Kathy is the best one for the job! She helped make me feel stunning on my wedding day and it's because of her meticulous attention to detail. Through the whole application she was checking in with me to make sure I was happy with my final look. She prepared me a touchup kit, but I only needed to reapply a bit pf lipstick because the whole look lasted all day with no wear. Ono also helped prepare the makeup looks for my bridal party. She made every one of my bridesmaids look so beautiful and they all looked glowing in their photos. Kathy and her team are real professionals. They come prepared and organized to execute all the looks needed on your wedding day. I can't recommend Kathy Huynh Artisty enough! read more

I hired Linda, an incredibly talented makeup artist on Kathy's amazing team, for my wedding back on 12/13/25, and everything was phenomenal from start to finish. First, I want to start off with how prompt Kathy's responses were to all of my questions and inquiries throughout the 9 months that I was in communication with her. She calmed all of my nerves and reassured me when I shared insecurities that I was worried would impact how I would feel about my wedding day makeup look. She helped me find solutions and peace whenever I mentioned any potential hurdles, which made the experience so stress-free! Now, moving on to Linda's impressive talents and energy, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day, and she's a huge part of the reason behind that! Linda did my makeup for the trial, the religious ceremony for my husband's side of the family, and the day of our wedding. My makeup look evolved as I learned what I wanted for my makeup look, but each look was still gorgeous. (Linda executed every request perfectly and was so receptive of any notes/changes that I had. I just didn't like the way certain techniques/styles looked on me as much as I did on the inspo pics AHAHA) I honestly can't thank her enough! Uyen and Naomi were the other two makeup artists who glammed up my mother-in-law, bridesmaids, and MOH, and everyone looked STUNNING!! We all looked like ourselves, but our features were just more enhanced in a way that made us feel so beautiful and confident. They reassured everyone that changes are welcome and not an inconvenience at all because the most important thing was that they love how they look. TLDR; if you're considering hiring them for your glam squad, run don't walk! read more

I had Kathy and her team for my bridal hair and make up back in April 2026. I booked her a little last minute and SUPER GRATEFUL that she was available for my wedding day. We didn't have a trial but I let her take full control after explaining what I had envisioned for my day. Her work was flawless and lasted the entire night minus a few touch ups of the lips. She made the experience getting glam so fun and it felt like we'd been friends for so long! I loved her energy and sweet personality! 1000% would recommend and book again for another glam session. read more

Kathy and Amy were so great! I really appreciated how they listened to my input but also made great suggestions whenever I wasn't sure. Their communication was very professional, so shout out to Josie as well. Really appreciated working with them. Their team is so friendly and welcoming, it made the whole process seamless. read more

Can't thank Linda Ly & Kathy Huynh Artistry team enough for my holiday hair + makeup look for a company party last night! I actually discovered them through Yelp reviews and reached out to inquire for special event rates. The booking process was seamless, and I had a great experience from start-to-finish! It was my first time meeting Linda, and she is such a gem to work with. She perfectly executed the hair & makeup inspo styles I showed her, and ensured that I still looked like myself--just more beautiful! She even provided an extra lipstick sample so I could touch-up my lipstick at the party. I received TONS of compliments at the company party and even on social media after posting pictures! Book Linda Ly & Kathy Huynh Artistry for your next special event, you won't regret it! read more

I hired Kathy and her team for my wedding hair and makeup, and they were absolutely phenomenal. You can truly feel the pride and care she puts into every detail. The team arrived exactly on time and kept the entire morning calm, organized, and on schedule. Kathy herself was exceptional -- attentive, kind, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt beautiful and comfortable. She really listened to what I envisioned while also offering smart, artistic suggestions that elevated the final look in ways I wouldn't have thought of. She was so patient with me, and her calm presence made getting ready such a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Everyone looked amazing, and even my cousin (who is a makeup artist herself!) was thrilled with how her makeup turned out. Kathy also provided a very thoughtful touch-up kit that I kept with me throughout the night -- and I used it! It helped keep everything looking fresh through hours of dancing, hugging guests, and happy tears. I can't recommend Kathy's business highly enough. If you want a team that's professional, talented, and truly cares about their brides, Kathy is the one to book. read more

I had an amazing experience with Kathy for my wedding makeup, along with hair by Krystie. Both Kathy and Krystie were extremely professional, talented, and genuinely fun to be around, which made the entire experience so enjoyable and calming. My trial was included and used for my engagement shoot, and the look lasted beautifully. They were always on time, great with scheduling, and very attentive, checking in on my preferences, asking thoughtful questions about my skin and hair, and even reviewing photos of how I normally do my makeup. I loved that I could show inspiration photos and they nailed every detail. I also appreciated the touch-ups, skincare and hair prep advice, and Kathy's makeup tips for my everyday wear. They truly contributed to a stress free and wonderful wedding day, and I'm so grateful to have worked with them. read more

This will be a long review so I'll start by saying that my sister (the bride) and I (bridesmaid) absolutely loved our experience with Kathy Huynh Artistry! Their entire team exceeded our hopes and dreams for my sister's wedding. They communicate well, are very talented in their artistry of both hair and make up, and give happy and supportive vibes so your day starts off in the best way possible! Booking KHA was a smooth experience. I was researching highly rated HMUAs that would make my sister feel heard, comfortable, beautiful, and most importantly - happy. I was also looking for a team that responded well because time was limited. That's when I found Kathy Huynh Artistry through IG, yelp, and their website. With my fingers crossed, I was able to get a fairly quick response back from Josie (KHA Exec. assistant) to let us know that they could still squeeze us in. We moved forward to a consultation call for my sister. She was able to book both lead artists in hair and make up (co-owners Amy for bridal hair and Kathy for bridal make up), and I am forever grateful that their schedules were moved around to include my sister. I know it must not have been easy because of unforeseen circumstances, but they were able to work something out with us and still treated us with such kindness. On the wedding day, the KHA team consisted of Kathy & Amy for Bridal hair and make up, Hienny & Kelly for 8 make up services, and Amy & Kristie for 8 hair services. We began at 4:30am as scheduled and finished as planned for the tea ceremony. They all brought very good vibes to start the day. There were 18 services total and everyone was still so kind throughout the morning. Everyone had touch ups before the HMUAs left. They set up and cleaned up quickly. Everything they did was very efficient. My sister was glowing with happiness. Her bridal hair and make up lasted from morning to night! She looked flawless and beautiful. The touch up kit was also very useful midway through the day. There were so many compliments!!! The moms and bridesmaids hair and make up were all perfect, too! Thank you so much for spoiling us all to look beautiful next to the most gorgeous bride! Overall, we couldn't be happier to have had the KHA team come over to glam us all up! Thank you so much for taking care of my sister!!!! read more

Kathy Huynh Artistry did an amazing job for our large wedding group.

Amazing experience from start to finish! My makeup came out PERFECTLY. Kathy & her team are amazing, I can't recommend her enough. They were timely, professional, and overall just great to hang out and chat with morning of the wedding. So grateful I was able to book her. read more

The creativity and artistry that Kathy and Linda have are one-of-kind. Kathy did my make-up for the wedding, while Linda did my bridesmaids hair and makeup. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and hair. They all felt and looked so beautiful! Here is my experience with Kathy: Kathy is the sweetest and most friendly person I've met. She makes all your makeup dreams come true! She takes the time to listen to all your suggestions and strives to give you the wedding look that you want. I never felt scared to tell her if I wanted to add or change anything. That was important to me because I hate confrontation and giving criticism. Kathy will always make sure you're happy with the final product. I will never forget how she showed up at the venue with an eyeshadow palette that I use for my own routine at home. It was a casual conversation we had at my trial, yet she went out of her way to buy it (and it's expensive), so that I'm comfortable and feel confident about my wedding look. That was one of the most selfless acts anyone has done for me. It shows her deep devotion to her career and her willingness to make her clients feel happy. You won't go wrong with having her be a part of your wedding day. Overall, my experience with Kathy has truly been a special one. She made my rosacea, desert-type skin into a glazed glass doll. I couldn't believe how beautiful I felt staring into the mirror. I got so many compliments because of her. My makeup lasted all night and was perfect in every photo, especially the ones with flash! Thank you Kathy Huynh Artistry for being amazing makeup gurus and great communicators. I definitely will use their services in the future! read more

I got my hair and makeup professionally done for my engagement photo shoot and wanted to see if I'd go with Kathy for the day of my wedding! Although I'm not going with Kathy for my wedding day hair and makeup, I'm so incredibly happy that I still went with Kathy and plan on going back if I am in need of her services in the area again! I used this session as a trial for myself and wanted to try out a Thai style of makeup. Kathy made sure to check in to see if I liked the way she was applying the makeup throughout the process and did some teaching as well! I was hesitant about having my makeup done on the heavier side as I'm not necessarily used to a full face of heavy makeup. Kathy reassured me and said that if I planned on having "natural looking" makeup show up on professional photos, MUAs would have to go a little heavier on certain things like contour, eyeshadow, etc. all depending on the photo editing style of the photographer of course. I decided to put my trust into her and I thought my makeup looked great in my photos!!! Her and Linda made the experience so much fun! Kathy seems like she definitely can do a glam style of makeup very well so if that's your cup of tea, go to Kathy! read more

Wow, My girls and I absolutely looked gorgeous on my wedding day. I booked for all my bridesmaids and also mine and my husband's mom. They were so professional through and through. And gave top quality results and worked fast as a team. The bridal suit was not that big but we made it work with 6 bridemaids and 5 artist LOL. Also, my husband's mom only speaks Vietnamese and they were able to communicate and make her feel comfortable and beautiful. So thankful for that. If I ever have another important event in my life I would definitely booked them again. All my girls loved their looks as well & i know they will consider them for future weddings. read more

I booked Kathy Huynh Artistry for my boudoir photoshoot because I wanted a makeup artist who specializes in Asian facial features, and the entire experience was seamless! This was also the perfect trial run for my future engagement and wedding makeup. I was paired with senior makeup artist Michelle, who was absolutely amazing. From the moment I arrived, Michelle was warm, friendly, and welcoming. She asked about my inspiration photos, took the time to understand how I normally do my makeup, and regularly checked in to see if I was happy with the look. When I asked for a few adjustments, she was completely open and happy to make the changes. The final look made me feel so beautiful and confident - exactly what I had envisioned. I will definitely book them again and will gladly refer to family and friends. A special mention to Kathy and executive assistant Josie - their communication was prompt (always within 24 hrs) and they provided all the appointment details clearly, making the whole process so smooth. I highly recommend KHA!! :) read more

I highly recommend Kathy Huynh Artistry if you are in the OC area. Kathy is very professional, responsive with emails/texts, and truly care about the quality of her team's service and her clients' concerns. Pricing is expensive but it is WORTH it! Honestly, I was a bit hesitant after the makeup and hair trial session since I was not used to wearing a lot of makeup plus my dry / combo skin, redness, acne problems made the makeup look cakey by night time on the trial day. However, Kathy assured me to let her team know my preferences (what I like and don't like) and that her team won't be offended, they just want us to love our look. She really listened to my concerns and suggestions (less blush, wispy eyelashes, more dewy not matte look, etc.) and passed along the message to her team. I also told her that my mom is allergic to SPF so they were very mindful with the products they applied on my mom. They were so nice and even provided recommendations to address my dry skin concerns such as recommending facials and skincare tips, which I began getting more frequent facials a few months prior to the wedding. I ended up booking their Senior Artists. After that, Amy sent over the schedule for the bridesmaids' makeup and hair, which really helped keep everybody on time on the wedding day. Naomi did such an excellent job prepping my face with Korean skincare products that I brought as I have requested beforehand and completely mesmerized me with her bridal makeup skill on the day of the wedding. She even provided a nice little touch up kit but the makeup was so good, it lasted the whole day (sweat proof, no oiliness, no cakiness, no dry patches) which was exactly what I was looking for. I barely even used the touch up kit except for reapplying a little bit of lipstick and lipgloss at the end of the night. Kristie did my bridal hair, which was a half-up, half-down with braids in the center and I brought my own hair extensions. She did a fantastic job with my hairstyle and it felt so natural and light weight even with all the bobby pins, I didn't even remember I had hair extensions on. The curls lasted all day long late into the night. Ono and Naomi both did makeup for my bridesmaids and my mom while Kristie and Rosie did hair for them. Based on the huge smile on their faces, I could tell the girls really loved the results. Overall, the team arrived very timely, worked very efficiently even though we have a large bridal party, and set up / clean up very fast. They were so great to work with! Just wanted to give a huge thank you to Kathy and the team! read more

Long story short, choosing Kathy Huynh Artistry for my big day was a great choice. Not only was the team exceptionally skilled, but they were also thorough and accommodating, which are very important features of hair and makeup artists! Beyond the conventional compliments that everyone else already wrote, what stood out to me the most was their accommodation to my last minute unexpected change. A week prior to my wedding, I got a tan line and a flare-up of psoriasis on my back. I was concerned, given that my wedding dress was a low-back. But, the team sent a specialist in airbrush techniques who skillfully covered up my imperfections, as if they were my own skin! The team's thoughtful approach to scheduling the bridal party was another aspect that impressed me. Rather than having all nine members of the bridal party arrive together at an early hour, they gave them scheduled arrival times. This not only prevented unnecessary waiting but also allowed members of the bridal party to efficiently run errands or attend to other preparations for the wedding. At the end of the makeup and hair, I received an emergency touch-up bag. Although I never needed to use it, as my makeup and hair held up perfectly well throughout the night, even in the midst of a hot summer wedding! Overall, I am pleased with the service provided by Kathy Huynh Artistry, and I highly recommend them to other future brides. read more

Kathy's team did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. -My makeup was prefect--natural yet glamorous, with long-lasting staying power. They listened to my preferences and enhanced my features in a way that felt true to me. (Which was very important because I like the natural look as I don't wear a lot of heavy makeup in general). -My hairstyle was everything I envisioned--elegant, secure, and photogenic from every angle. They incorporated my veil and accessories seamlessly, and it stayed flawless all night. - One of the BIGGEST gifts they gave me was peace of mind. They arrived early, worked efficiently with my bridal party, and handled everything with such warmth and expertise that I didn't have to worry about a thing. Their calm presence was a game-changer on a busy morning! GREAT JOB TEAM!! WELL DONE! read more

Kathy, Amy and the rest of the team were THE BEST GLAM SQUAD!!! They were on time, organized, and extremely talented. They glam squad is the hero of the wedding and they were so wonderful at listening to what everyone said and making sure we were all ready on time. I have to give a special shoutout to Amy for jumping in and streaming my dress like a hero. Kathy was dealing with many other issues behind the scenes, but you would never know it. She was so great during the whole wedding with a positive attitude and happy vibes. Thank you so much, Kathy and Amy! read more

LOVE Kathy and her team!! I've been in two weddings where the bride's makeup went haywire somewhere throughout the day so booking the right glam team for my special day was a huge priority for me. One of my cousins had booked Kathy in the past and she and her whole bridal party looked amazing, so I knew I needed to book Kathy! It was so important to me that I booked my venue first and Kathy second immediately after, lol! I did my hair and makeup trial with Amy and Kathy back in May and loved how it turned out! They both listened to what I wanted and delivered exactly that at every step of the process to create a bridal look for me. Then, of course, 5 months went by and I changed my mind (any other brides get decision fatigue towards the end and start second guessing themselves? No? Just me? Aight cool cool cool). We ended up pivoting my makeup look a bit the week prior to the wedding when I realized I wanted to keep my lash extensions, but wanted some falsies but not too many. Does this sound insane? Idk but Kathy understood exactly what I meant and went in search of lash clusters to achieve my look. The end result was IT!! Me and my MOHs all kept saying "it's giving bridal" throughout the day and it really was giving bridal. It was exactly what I wanted! And even better, it lasted the whole day, even through all the wedding day tears, yay! Kathy gave me a pretty in-depth touch up kit but I honestly only needed a lipstick touch up throughout the day. The rest of my face didn't budge. AMAZING! Amy's hair styling also ALWAYS POPS OFF! I love that she doesn't tease the hair too much bc she wants it to be taken care of and be healthy after. That helps even more since I was also wearing hair extensions ahead of my wedding, so trying to brush out teased hair with extensions in would've been crazy. The curls she made for me were so pretty and lasted the whole day. (Actually they lasted for days after and I think they still would've lasted if I hadn't needed to wash my hair.) I also usually hate how I look with a little bit of a bump on top for volume, but the way Amy does it somehow doesn't make me look ridiculous and just enhances the look. Uyen (makeup) and Chanel (hair) rounded out the glam team we had for my wedding day! They did the hair and makeup for my two MOHs and my mom, and I was so happy with how everyone's looks turned out, and most of all, so were the girls! One MOH said to Chanel "my hair doesn't typically hold a curl." Well idk what Chanel did but those curls held strong until end of the evening! I love Uyen's makeup too bc the girls still felt true to themselves while still being the glam version of them. Also the foundation match was so on point for everyone! Maybe that's a given, but I've left a makeup artist's chair before looking like a Cheeto, so I really appreciated the color match these girls achieve. All the girls who were with us had great energy as well. I wanted a fun and peppy vibe for us to get ready in and Kathy's team really brought the energy! Everyone was yapping and having fun while we got ready and I really appreciate that vibe. One last note - I'm a girly who's struggled to find her makeup shade for the last 10 ish years while I've started wearing makeup. Kathy took one look at me and said "oh it's because you're olive toned and need a foundation with that undertone." Umm, consider my life changed. Thank you, Kathy. I owe you my life. Anyway, all that is to say, 100/10 would recommend! Do yourself a favor and book Kathy! read more

The HMU artists I worked with did an incredible job on me and my ladies the morning of my wedding. Shout out to Michelle, Krystie, and Chanel! They made us look and feel beautiful The owners Kathy and Amy were always responsive and flexible with any changes I made to my wedding day (adding a person, changing touch up time, etc). The pricing was also very reasonable as well! Overall I would recommend Kathy Huynh Artistry to any future bride! read more

Let me start by saying, I know very little about hair and makeup. So when I was researching on whose services I should book for my engagement photoshoot and wedding, I did very light research. I figured anyone I chose would be better than me. I was referred to Kathy Huynh Artistry by my wedding venue (Mon Chéri). When I reached out to KHA, Kathy Huynh texted me the same day and set up a call for later that evening to walk me through the entire process. I really liked the personal touch, especially as someone who knew very little about the beauty industry. My beauty trial was my engagement photoshoot and I had both lead artists: Kathy Huynh and Amy Tsai. Both were amazing to work with and listened to my requests: I wanted a natural soft glam that made me look the best version of myself while still looking like me. They both took their time with me and constantly checked in to make sure I was happy with my look. This vision was executed when I received my engagement photoshoot. What really impressed me with KHA was their service on the actual wedding day. As you can imagine, as the bride, it's a stressful day where you have a carefully crafted timeline that you are always conscious of. KHA showed up on time, executed their artistry to perfection. They were so efficient, we finished well before our designated timeline. This is huge for me because the wedding timeline is everything you've put the last months of planning into. Any deviation from the timeline sets a domino effect and creates unnecessary stress on one of the most important days in your life. I cannot emphasize this enough - having vendors who perform amazing service in the allotted timeframe they've given is gold! My bridesmaids, both moms and I left the wedding morning looking amazing. Throughout the rest of day, we had so many compliments on how beautiful we looked. I was glowing inside and outside. And as a bride, that's the best gift, anyone can gift you on your wedding day. read more

I was recommended Kathy from a previous client of hers whom I was a bridesmaid for. Kathy is the sweetest, kindest, most accommodating artist I've spoken to! She was flexible when it came to scheduling my trial on the same day as my engagement photoshoot. The pics turned out so well! She was prompt and on time, along with Amy, on my wedding day to complete my gorgeous hair and makeup that lasted all day! Even through all yhr happy crying!! She is very easy to communicate with and was a doll to work with! Thank you so much Kathy and Amy for making my entire wedding experience special and memorable. I will cherish these memories forever! Her prices are also quite competitive and reasonable! :) read more

My wedding was back in August so I am long overdue for this review! I wanted to start off by saying I give Kathy Huynh Artistry a 10/10! It was a smooth experience from booking, to the bridal trial, and ending with the wedding day! I am so happy with how my makeup and hair looked for my wedding day. I did my trial on a day I had an engagement shoot scheduled just to see how well my hair and makeup would last throughout the day. Amy was great at checking in with me at the end of the day to take notes of any possible changes I might have wanted or any concerns I had. This helped a lot when it came to finalizing the wedding day look. In the beginning, I had trouble with explaining what I wanted in terms of makeup looks and all I had was inspo pictures, but Kathy was able to create a makeup look that I was comfortable with. I expressed my concerns of having my professional makeup done as I still wanted to look like myself, but more enhanced and she did just that. Kathy and Amy had great communication throughout the entire HMU process to ensure you like how your hair and/or makeup looks which I truly appreciated. I was provided with a touch up kit with everything that I would need, however, I barely needed it even though I cried a lot. Both did an amazing job! Thank you both for making me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I had so many compliments! KHA provides incredible service and is really great at hyping you up as well! I cannot recommend KHA enough. read more

I hired Kathy's team for my wedding hair and makeup, and they were absolutely incredible. They arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and kept the whole morning running smoothly. I especially want to highlight Kathy, who was so attentive, kind, and reassuring throughout the entire process. She really listened to what I wanted while also offering thoughtful recommendations that helped bring the entire artistic vision together. I felt completely comfortable with her, and she was so patient with every adjustment and question I had. The whole team was extremely professional, and everyone looked amazing by the end -- even my cousin, who is a makeup artist herself, was thrilled with how her makeup turned out. I can't recommend them enough. They helped make my wedding day feel beautiful, calm, and seamless.

I was so happy I chose to go with Kathy Huynh Artistry for my wedding hair and makeup. They were recommended to me by my wedding planner, Kelly Duprat, and I felt like their team did an amazing job with my wedding look. I opted to have their Senior Artists do my hair (Linda) and makeup (Naomi). Both of them were such a pleasure to be around. I knew from the moment we finished our makeup/hair trial that I liked their vibe and wanted them to do my look for the wedding. They were honestly so sweet and easy to talk to! I felt comfortable having them work on my hair/makeup. Linda and Naomi really captured the final look I was hoping for my wedding day. Even though I liked the look from the trial, I thought the hair and makeup we had for the wedding day was better and exactly what I wanted~ I highly recommend Kathy Huynh Artistry's team for any bridal looks! Linda & Naomi, I truly thank you both for doing my hair and makeup! I loved being able to get to know you girls through the short time we spent together. You both did an amazing job and I got so many compliments from all my guests at my wedding! read more

The professionalism and care by the team working on my bridal party, MOB, MOG & myself was above and beyond. The team was wonderful to work with and the quality of their artistry in both hair and makeup of the team leads was amazing. Linda did my hair and she understood the romantic vibe I was going for. She made sure I liked my hair and knew what I wanted before I could say it (looser curls to have length). Michelle is an exceptional artist, she recommended skin care tips as my face is really dry in the winter seasons and really listened to what kind of look I wanted. When I did the retrial for my makeup, it was the perfect amount of makeup without feeling heavy and it lasted about all day long and throughout the reception. The rest of the team, Claudia & Oono, really listened to each persons wants and needs. Everyone felt and looked beautiful and I really appreciate the work KHA did for my wedding day. read more

There's so much I could say about how amazing Kathy & her team is!! Due to my extremely sensitive skin, I was very nervous for so much makeup to be on my skin all day long but Kathy ensured that all of her products were safe!

Where to begin?! My wedding was in Irvine in November 2023. I'm from out of state (MD) so having to plan a wedding across the country wasn't easy, but one thing I did not have to worry about was the hair and makeup because Kathy and Amy's team made it a smooth process! Even with my millions of questions, Kathy/Amy were always so thorough with their responses which I really appreciated. I chose to work with Linda for my hair and makeup. I first had to do a trial so I scheduled it for a day in August when I was already planning to be in OC doing other wedding stuff. I met Linda at the KHA studio and Linda was super easy to work with. I showed her a few inspiration pictures from my Pinterest and she immediately knew the exact look I was going for. She also asked me for feedback to make sure I was comfortable with the look. I wanted a lighter pinkier color for my lip than what Linda originally chose, then she managed to pick the EXACT shade I was hoping for. Linda also gave me several recommendations for my skin, which I started basically right away so that my skin could be in the best shape possible for wedding day! Linda is truly a miracle worker. On wedding day, Linda came to meet me at my hotel at which I had booked the bridal lounge. Another artist, Rosie, did my mom's hair. My mom has super frizzy short hair but Rosie made it look so glam and fabulous. Linda did my mom's makeup and I swear she made her look 15 years younger! I am not someone who wears a lot of makeup if ever, but I was BEYOND happy with my bridal look. I received so many compliments on the day of and cannot thank Linda enough for making my bridal dreams come true. I'm also glad that I did the airbrush because my makeup DID NOT BUDGE period. I am a super heavy crier so if you're like me, you. need. the. airbrush. Linda gave me a touch up kit but honestly I didn't even use it (even after constant crying throughout my ceremony)! Price-wise, while I thought the costs were slightly higher than the average makeup artist in the OC area, I 100% think it was worth the price. I could not be happier and I highly recommend booking KHA for wedding/special event hair and makeup. Thank you team for everything and being a part of my special day. read more

EXCELLENT!!! Sorry this is a late review. I would like to thank these wonderful ladies for a wonderful job done on my wedding day last January 8, 2024 at Dana Point. I wanted an airbrush style make up for my wedding. My sister is a make up artist who had my face done with airbrush on a wedding we attended back home. I really liked the way I looked and hope that I'd be able to recreate the same style on my wedding day. I found Kathy on Yelp. I saw the different pictures of the brides she has worked with. I liked her style and immediately scheduled for pre nup make up session for my pre nuptial photo shoot. They answered every question I had and was very professional. When we met for the first time for the prenuptial photoshoot, it was like meeting with your besties. They are so warm and friendly, I felt very comfortable. Even my fiance liked them. The prenup make up was lovely and lasted all day long. Fast forward to the day of, I was very nervous. Kathy and Amy made sure that everything will turn out alright. Their warmth and kindness calmed my nerves. As they worked their magic, any concerns and nervousness faded and I just became excited for result. Kathy and Amy went above and beyond. They did a fantastic job. I looked and felt so beautiful that day. Kathy even helped me get ready in my wedding gown. The hair and make up lasted for a long time even after reception. If you are looking for a great HMUA then look no further. Kathy and Amy, this glam team will definitely deliver. They will make you look and feel gorgeous for your special day. Book them now and you won't regret it. Thank you ladies for everything! ~ Michelle Welch 1/8/24 read more

She made me feel so relaxed while prepping and she recommended using a scrub months before my wedding, which helped with my skin! She did an amazing job and I trusted her skills- I loved having Linda as the lead hair and makeup artist on my big day! In addition, my bridesmaids and mom all felt beautiful, and were very satisfied with the results of their hair and makeup! My wedding was on September 1, 2023 and I booked KHA in July 2022. Amy guided me through the whole process and even made a schedule for my bridesmaids on the day of the wedding, which was so nice and one less thing for me to do as a busy bride! The whole process was very organized from booking, to doing a hair and makeup trial, to the big day! Overall, I 1000% highly recommend KHA if you are an OC bride! The team showed up early to set up their equipment in the bridal suite and everyone in my wedding party looked so beautiful! If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely book KHA! Thank you so much to everyone at KHA for glamming up my squad and I!! read more

My daughter was accompanying my husband to the Oscars and I was looking for someone who could do makeup and hair for her. I found Kathy through Yelp and was impressed with all of her glowing reviews and portfolio. Kathy (makeup) and Rosie (hair) did not disappoint. They were very professional, very friendly and super chill. There was great communication before the appt. They showed up on time and were very good about making sure that what they were doing was what my daughter had envisioned. They would double check to make sure that everything was just right. This was the first time my daughter had her makeup and hair professionally done and she was extremely pleased with the results (as was I)! She left for the Oscars feeling confident and beautiful!! Thanks to Kathy and Rosie for making her day extra special! Whether you need someone for a wedding or a one off special event, i would highly recommend Kathy and her team. They work hard to understand and capture your vision and they will 100% make sure that you walk away feeling beautiful and happy. I would definitely use her and her team again. read more

Had such a wonderful experience with Kathy, Amy and their team. I did my hair and makeup trial about 6 months prior at their studio in Orange. Both Kathy and Amy were super friendly, professional and asked me throughout the whole process my thoughts and preferences. At the end of the day, I took notes on things I may have wanted to switch up or improve. For the day of, my makeup and hair were PERFECTION. I had no complaints and all the things I wanted to update from the trial were done. Airbrush stayed all day long even with some drizzle! Loved the mini touch-up kit they provided and barely needed it thankfully. They also had Chanel and Linda to help with hair and makeup for my 6 bridesmaids and my mom. Everyone was happy with their service. We all were ready on time for pictures and loved the results. Communication was super clear throughout and the schedule of getting ready was sent to us about 1 week prior. Would definitely recommend KHA for your professional hair and makeup needs! Didn't want to wash my makeup off because I had never had it done so beautifully! read more

Kathy, Amy, and their team are the very best. I found Kathy via different influencers I was following on Instagram. My wedding planner reached out to Kathy and team and they already had a wedding scheduled the morning of my wedding but due to my wedding being later in the day, KHA were able to work with our schedule and fit us in. I had a LARGE group getting their make-up and hair done, including my bridal party, aunts, cousin, MOB, MOG, & friends. In total, we had almost 30 services. Not only did Kathy, Amy, and the team finish on time, they finished early, each and every one of my party sent nothing but praises to the KHA team. And the make-up and hair LASTED all day long - I cried a bazillion times and my make-up was perfect all the way to midnight. The touch-up kit was a lifesaver and had everything I needed. My hair & hair pieces (made by AMY @meily_embellishments) got so many compliments and I could not believe how many pins came out of my hair and it did not feel heavy at all. AND I almost forgot to note that I had a tea ceremony the day before my wedding, and Kathy and her team did my hair and make && I got another piece from Amy. I couldn't have trusted my glam to any other team. I now have KHA on speed-dial for any future event. another funny note - Kathy and Amy thought I was trolling them with my last name but my last name is Kha just like their business KHA - I believe in fate and I believe meeting them was meant to be. I'm happy that they were a part of such a special memory. read more

I came across Kathy Huynh Artistry via online group. After researching different HMUA, they offer the best package and I love their makeup style. I am glad that they had an open spot for my wedding day on short notice. I had the pleasure to work with Amy and Michelle. I love that they listen to my concerns and offer suggestions. My hair and makeup were done to my liking. They are professional and show up on time (5am) on my wedding day. I recommend working with Kathy Huynh Artistry! If you're considering touch up, do it! My wedding day was from 5am to 10 pm. I cried a lot during my tea ceremony at 10am that the touch up kit was not enough I have included pictures of my makeup trial, tea ceremony, 2nd ceremony, and reception read more

Kathy did an incredible job for a photoshoot I had for work. it was a very specific project where they were taking some pictures of me on the helipad of my hospital for a magazine since I'm a nurse. Kathy was very thoughtful in asking questions about what look I wanted, what environment the photoshoot would be in, etc. She involved me every step of the way knowing I wanted to achieve a glamorous but professional style. Kathy was also so kind and pleasant, even though our start time was 6am. You wouldn't be able to tell she had to wake up so early and drive a distance because she was so happy and sweet. Couldn't be happier with the service! read more

Naomi did my makeup and Lily did my hair. I absolutely love my wedding makeup. The airbrush didn't budge, which was great! I wanted a bold but semi natural look. But i kept asking Naomi to go darker and I don't regret it at all. Naomi isn't afraid of going full glam at all. I just wanted to see if I can have a more natural look, but my heart kept asking to go dark. I loved my wedding look so much. Thank you Naomi if you're reading this. My hair only fell apart during the reception when people started hugging my head lol. I gave Lily an inspo photo during the trial and I stuck with the look. I wanted a low updo bc I wanted the back of my dress to show. Kathy was super helpful setting all the appointments up. She even gave me some advice on my dry skin spots. read more

Where do I even begin. This professional team of ladies made everything so easy and fun! From the initial contact to the day of the ceremony, they would follow up with me throughout the journey. We did our preview at their studio and made sure that I liked everything about my hair and make up. With trying different colors of eye shadow and hair styles, they were so patient and diligent! Highly recommend a trial run before any big events. The day of the ceremony was stressful but they made sure I was calm, eating, and making me laugh. They are an amazing group of ladies that work so well together and made me and my bridal party feel and look so beautiful! Definitely book them for any event because they provide nothing but the best service! Shoutout to Kathy for my make up and Amy for my hair read more

Kathy, Amy, and their team were absolutely amazing. I'm so happy I made the decision to hire them for my wedding day for myself and my bridesmaids. From just the bridal hair and makeup trial, I knew we would work well together because we vibed! We chatted away for the entire 3-4 hours that I was sitting in that chair and time just flew by. The exact same happened on the morning of my wedding! They are so personable and easy to work with. They will continuously ask what you prefer and will make sure to fix it to your liking so that you will look perfect! Communication with them throughout the planning process was a piece of cake. They did such an amazing job and made me look like a princess! The hair and makeup lasted the entire day! They give you a touch-up kit so that you can touch up your makeup and hair throughout the day, but honestly, I barely had to use the touch-up kit because everything stayed so well. I was able to try Kathy's KHA mink lashes and they made my eyes pop! It was so pretty and they were so soft. I highly recommend booking Kathy and Amy for your wedding! They are very professional and so easy to work with. They're honestly the best! read more

My bridesmaids worked with Julie this past weekend for my wedding and I have only wonderful feedback to write. In terms of artistry, most of my bridesmaid wanted a more natural look and Julie accommodated all their requests. Julie was fun and a great person to have in our hotel room. She ended early and was able to provide touch-ups to all the bridesmaids. I also had Julie apply false lashes that never lifted once, even throughout the tears and sweat the day brought. Kathy and her team were incredibly responsive since booking. Kathy checked in with me wedding week to make sure everything was all set. She even texted me first thing in the morning that Julie was having some car trouble and might be 10 minutes late. I appreciated the transparency and how early they let me know. Not only was Julie still on time, but was calm, cool, and collected upon arrival. If you are looking for a professional team that leads with kindness and incredible artistry, look no further. I cannot recommend this entire team enough. read more
