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

    I reached out to Emily about doing my makeup for my baby shower, as I'm getting tired quickly these…read moredays. I met with her at her studio which was a very tidy, professional setting with great lighting and tons of makeup products. Her tools were all laid out ahead of time, with clean fluffy brushes and all her makeup products organized just a step away. She took her time and was quite thorough with every step of the makeup, starting with the consultation and inspiration. I opted for a shimmery, pearly look to match my theme and dress. Emily was able to match my color perfectly and made me look airbrushed which was amazing. I found her to be very responsive and amenable when I asked to focus on certain areas like contouring my jawline or adding more blush. We found the perfect eyelashes and she really emphasized my eyes, which looked so much bigger after she did her magic. I found myself looking over the products she used and I was happy to see lots of brands I personally used and recognized on top of luxury brands. I loved how my makeup came out at the end of the 1.5 hour appt, and would happily go to her again for future events. At the end, she asked if there was anything I wanted to add or change and I didn't need anything else done- she did my makeup exactly the way I wanted. She's an excellent artist local to me that I would highly recommend!

    (Review based on 4.5 stars)…read more Located across from The Peach Cafe with it's own parking lot. It is the yellow looking house in case you are on the look for it on Colorado. I came by this past Friday a little before 11 am for my hair appointment. When I came in, I was not initially greeted or acknowledged. The lady whom was talking and working on her client's hair saw me but turned away. She kept looking at me but never said anything (deducted 0.5 star for that). But another woman in the front greeted me and offered me something to drink. Since I came early for my 11 am appointment, I just sat at a chair in the front and waited for Isabel. When she arrived (before my appointment time), she greeted me and took me to the back where her chair was. She then told me that I could put my purse down and lead me to the sink to wash my hair. It was rather relaxing as my hair was being washed. She asked if the temperature of the water was okay with me and continued. Then when she was done, she walked me back to her chair. She asked me what I would like for my hair cut. I told her that I wanted to cut my hair for charity (Beautiful Lengths, http://pantene.com/en-us/experience-main-section2/beautiful-lengths for more information) and that the organization I donate it to (I do this every year) request that the hair is dry and tied in a pony tail, banded with a hair tie from the top and bottom to secure it. Isabel made sure that my hair was fully dry before she tied it up and cut it. She explained that with a cut from the pony tail, it would leave my hair uneven. She made sure that my hair was even all around after cutting it. Last September when I got my hair cut (at another salon), the person who cut my hair did not take the same care as Isabel and so my hair was a little uneven (did not find this out until I came home). Isabel asked me what is the minimum length that the organization I am donating to requires. I told her 8 inches and so she measured my hair before cutting to let me know how short it will be and afterwards, measured it again to show me that it is exactly at 8 inches. During my time, Isabel was a delight to talk to while she styled my hair. She was friendly and I enjoyed learning about her family and sharing about mine. I truly appreciate the time and detail that Isabel paid to my hair during this visit that I tipped her rather higher than most hair salons that I have gone to in the past. I will definitely go back to Isabel in the future for my next hair cut (which will most likely for charity again).
