I have some personal…read moreideas about makeup + me, like, for example, that I don't think foundation looks "right" on me, and I don't think I have lips made for wearing lipstick. It's just not me. I can't count how many times I've been pressured into wearing foundation when I.Don't.Wear.Foundation. It makes me look completely crazy, and I hate it. Veronica was the FIRST mua that didn't pressure me into it... In fact, she actually agreed with me that I look better without it. THANK YOU!! I'm not crazy!! I first heard about her through Anju (of AnjuThreads), who was hosting Veronica at her threading salon as one of her summer pop-up events. I was celebrating my birthday the week before the event, but figured that if Anju liked her, I would to. AND I LIKE HER! She came to my apartment and got me ready for my birthday with a gorgeous purple smoky eye. I was a complete mess that day because a billion things were going on, including the venue for my party changing 3 times in a day, and the built-in shelves I installed over my bed fell ON TO MY BED while I was at work (and thank god, not in bed), but Veronica was completely calming. I added a photo of my makeup so you can see what she did =)

Love love LOVE! Veronica did the makeup for my wedding this past weekend and blew me away…read more She is insanely talented and also very understanding when you want adjustments or changes. I'm not really a makeup wearing girl. During my trial, I had trouble getting used to the lipsticks Veronica tried and the amount of eye makeup- I seriously have issues with makeup! She was so understanding and said she appreciated my honesty. We worked through some other options and I'm so glad that I chose Veronica to work with! At the end of the day, I was blown away with the end product. Veronica came to my hotel the morning of my wedding and did most of our makeup, which we were all very happy with. Thank you Veronica!!

It's scary to try a new hair salon, but Salon JKU put all my fears to rest with a very positive,…read morerelaxing, competent, and friendly haircut experience. After trying another high-rated salon in Philly and having a hairdresser try and fail to thin out my very thick hair for two hours, I did some research and came across Salon JKU. Even though they don't don't have an online booking platform, it was fairly easy to make an email inquiry, then book a time within the week over the phone. I booked with Amelia, and was really glad I did. She asked a lot of good questions about what I was looking for, then talked me through what she was going for. I get my hair cut every 6 months, so I was really just looking for someone to take out weight and give my hair some shape. Amelia gave me a wonderful short haircut with a lot of movement and texture. Her cut was meticulous and she took out an incredible amount of weight, yet maintained volume and body. After our discussions about my typical haircare routine, she gave me a cut that looks good without any styling. I really appreciated that, because sometimes the cut looks amazing after it's all blown out, but it's not a look that I can ever recreate at home. A few days after my appointment, someone asked me how I styled my hair, and I told them I didn't style it at all. They couldn't believe it because it visually had so much volume! The pricing is higher than other places that I have been in Philly (I paid $100 + tip), but in my opinion, it was totally worth it for one of the best haircuts I've received.

So I went on the phila queens Facebook group and posted for Asian hair stylist recommendations for both cut and color and someone kindly recommended salon JKU to me and after looking at their Instagram and their stylist personal Instagram's I decided that this was the best salon for Asian hair given a lot of the stylist are of Asian descent. I got a full head balayage done by Memmi (@coloristmemmi) and haircut done by Chris Sotos. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the results. PLEASE note this does not mean the salon is specialized in Asian hair only. I was the only Asian client in the salon yesterday. You definitely don't HAVE to be Asian to come here lol I just really really wanted my hair done by someone of Asian descent since I've never tried that before. Anyway, Memmi did such a good job and was so pleasant to talk to while she was doing my hair she really is an interesting person with such a cool backstory. Same goes for Chris, who I had many things in common with. I cannot wait to return to the salon for my next cut and or color. PLEASE take the time to see the huge transformation my hair underwent in the photos attached to this review. And also please check out their Instagram @salonjku because you will instantly want to go there too, like me. And wow I'm glad I did. they do outstanding work here thank you so much team for making my hair look amazing for the first time in my life.

She did makeup for my wedding on 10/19/19 for myself, a few of my bridesmaids and my mom. I can't imagine my day without her. She's more than a makeup artist - from her calming vibes in the morning as she did our makeup to offering practical advice on skincare moving forward. In fact, Emily gave me invaluable advice during my trial and recommended a skin care clinic for facials leading up to the big day. Beyond being a professional, she's a genuinely good person to be around. I would recommend her for anyone's wedding makeup (if you can book her - she fills up fast!)

From the moment I met her at my trial to the day of my wedding, she made me feel so comfortable. At my trial, she took the time to listen completely to what I envisioned for my look - an effortlessly flawless, glowing-from-within version of my natural self - and made the magic happen. She made me feel extra confident and beautiful (without being overdone) on one of the most important days of my life, and for that I can't thank her enough!! My bridesmaids and both mothers also looked gorgeous. I 10000% recommend her to every bride!
