Weekend comes around, and I'm ready to make the most out of it...except.. well I suck at makeup…read more Sure..daily work makeup I can do.. but seriously when Friday hits 9pm..and its Girls Night Out..I want to look all jazzy. And thats where it lead me to Donna! A few of my friend have used Donna for NYE parties and weddings, so I was sure she was more then adequate to do some makeup for a Friday GNO. She was truly professional, and REALLY listened to what I liked and DID NOT LIKE with my makeup. I explained to her that I want BIG EYES, and did she give me BIG EYES!!! LOL I don't want to toot my horn... but I looked great that night!! (I mean I had people thinking I was a model! HA!) And you know what? After 6 hours of dancing and drinking... my face was STILL flawless!!!! =)

I was truly taken away with Donna and her amazing artistic skills. I went from un-fly to super…read morefly!!! Thanks for making me super hottt and teaching me new techniques. I highly recommend her services as I could not have been more pleased with her professional talents. Thank you for all your help and all that you do.

I hired Kary as my HMU for my wedding in April 2026. She was a total professional and really…read morepassionate in what she does. I was really happy with my looks throughout the event and Kary was attentive throughout, really glad to have hired her. During the makeup trial she listened to my needs and took times to try multiple styles and looks until I'm comfortable with my choices. Her makeup style is very beautiful and natural at the same time, she has a great understand of Asian features. I felt very beautiful. During the event she stayed around for almost the whole ceremony to reception, helping with touch ups and outfit/look changes. She was also great with my mother and bridesmaids, patient and giving styling support when my mom had questions. However I think there's room for improvement in her team. The second HMU she brought with her to help with the other half of my bridesmaids was not as good. My bridesmaid mentioned that her side bun constantly fell out and after asking to be fixed multiple time they just ended up fixing it themselves. The second HMU also didn't seem to have the same joy as Kary and wasn't too friendly. Outside of that, Kary's husband Eugene does all her booking, scheduling and communications. Have some patience for him to get back to you and double check the booking times as I experienced some mixed up during the trial booking. Overall I would definitely recommend working with Kary for your makeup, you will not regret it, she really took good care of me.

She really brings out the best of your natural beauty in her makeup, and she can do such a wide variety of hairstyles well. My hair and makeup held up all night. Beyond that, Kary and her assistant were extremely caring and professional. Somehow I managed to give them the wrong address, but they figured out the right address and still arrived early. They also went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kary!

I really like coming here. Everyone is very professional and the atmosphere is fun and uplifting.read more

Look no further! Lily is the real deal with a cherry on top. I thank my wedding planner for…read morerecommending her. I also thank that dry bar employee who mentioned Lily's work. I was looking high and low for a hair and makeup artist with enough experience and talent to do my makeup better than myself and as good as other pro LA artists I follow on Instagram. I have high expectations of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like for my wedding- I wanted to look like a goddess, ultra glam, lots of lashes and contouring. I wanted to look like a Persian Barbie/Persian princess. I have gotten my hair and makeup done a few times before with various artists for a couple of engagement parties and one engagement shoot before I found Lily. Lily nailed it. Now one of the most important vendors for my wedding has been found and now I can sleep better at night. More professional photos taken by Aroos Magazine to come!!!

Lily is such a wonderful artist to work with. I found Lily through yelp and we communicated through…read moreemail prior to my wedding. I didn't really want to do a makeup trial because I was only doing a simple City Hall Wedding. I was so pleased/relieved that Lily did not pressure me to do a trial and just told me to email her the hair & makeup styles that I liked. I was really impressed with how quickly Lily responded to my emails (I had quite a few questions and even had to change my appointment time). On the day of my wedding, my mom and I went to her studio to get my makeup done. Lily's studio has a bathroom & an area to change, just in case you need to change into your dress and head directly to your wedding (which I thought I would have to do, but Lily finished my makeup/hair earlier than expected). My mom had no idea what type of makeup style she wanted, so she just let Lily decide. My mom was very happy with the result. I knew exactly what hair & makeup style I wanted and emailed a few examples to Lily and she perfected it! I was also very worried that my lipstick would transfer/dry out during the wedding, but Lily told me not to worry and packed me some lipstick and gloss to go (I actually didn't really need to reapply because it stayed on very well). I am very happy and lucky that I found Lily. I highly recommend her.

Extremely disappointed with my experience here!! I went in asking for a layered cut that would stay…read morea past shoulder length, but the stylist (Dennis) spent barely 15 minutes cutting my hair and they cut it far shorter than I requested (I can't even tie my hair now) The most frustrating part was that when I explicitly asked them to stop cutting more hair, he refused to listen and said, "I'll finish cutting and then you tell me how it looks." By then, the damage was already done. I chose this salon because of the positive reviews, so this experience was honestly shocking and very disappointing. Please save yourself the money and avoid going to a stylist who doesn't listen to you!! There are far better hairstylists in SF who are willing to spend the time to understand what you want and actually listen to your needs instead of rushing through a haircut!

I was a little disappointed because my sister loves this place and her haircuts have been…read morefantastic. She and I both have very thick and long hair so I decided to get my hair cut here to try them out. This place requires a deposit when you book an appointment. I'm not sure the percentage but I was charged $37 since I only wanted a haircut and the deposit goes towards the bill. I got my hair washed by a nice lady and everything was going well. I asked for layers and he quickly got to work. I was actually surprised how fast he was done to be honest. When it was time to blow dry, I expected him to style my hair all the way but he just did my bangs... and he left the rest of my hair frizzy. And I have REALLY frizzy hair. my normal hair stylist would help me straighten my hair before styling. But I was left with unfinished hair because there was another client waiting. I spent an hour at home straightening and styling myself and noticed some of the layers were a bit choppy and not layered properly. oh well, some hair salons will be a hit or a miss. And this time, unfortunately, was a miss.

I have to thank her though because she recommended Joan...and what a blessing. Joan was professional, prompt and prepared. I felt so at ease with her as she worked her magic on me in my home.

I felt confident, calm and received compliments all evening. The only thing I'd change about the experience is: Joan will be the FIRST and only makeup artist I'll call for my next event!!
