Sophia is truly exceptional. As a returning client, I can confidently say her consistency,…read moreprofessionalism, and talent are unmatched. I came back to her knowing I could trust her completely, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. Her makeup is natural, radiant, and long-lasting. I don't typically wear makeup, but her application felt light, breathable, and incredibly comfortable all day and all night. She takes the time to truly listen and brings your vision to life with precision and care. She's also so easy to talk to--like catching up with an old friend--which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. Beyond her artistic skills, she has a rare ability to make you feel beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend!

As someone who knows next to nothing about hair and makeup, Kelly was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process. We did two trials, and while the first makeup trial wasn't quite what I was looking for and the second got much closer, I still wasn't 100% confident we had landed on the perfect look. I tried my best to explain what I wanted, but I just couldn't quite put it into words. Somehow, Kelly understood exactly what I was envisioning and absolutely nailed it. My bridal look was everything I could have hoped for! I wish I had my wedding photos to share because the final look was everything I dreamed of, but I couldn't wait any longer to post this review! I'll include my hair from my 2nd trial instead, which is what we went with. Throughout the process, Kelly never made me feel rushed or dismissed my concerns. She truly listened, offered thoughtful guidance, and worked with me every step of the way until we got it right. She was so easy to work with, genuinely sweet, and her entire team was wonderful. I couldn't have been happier with my experience and would recommend her to any bride!

I had…read moreno idea where to go for hair and makeup for myself and my daughters, so I relied on reviews, photos, pricing, location, and availability -- and Yelp did not disappoint. I made an excellent choice. Kelly's studio is adorable, and even on a Sunday she accommodated our schedule. She listened to our preferences and worked her magic with so much ease. She used airbrush makeup on me, and I was honestly impressed by how fast and flawless the whole process was. I was in and out quickly with both hair and makeup, and she did gorgeous hairstyles for my two daughters as well. I highly recommend Kelly. I have a huge family in Orange County, many in that wedding-filled season of life, so I'm sure I'll be back for her services again. Thank you, Kelly!

We cannot say enough great things about @brittany_makeupartist!…read more Brittany did an incredible job with my wife's makeup. She looked absolutely beautiful on our wedding day. What stood out most was that she didn't make her look like someone else -- she enhanced what was already there. The makeup was elegant, natural, and perfectly balanced. It highlighted my wife's natural beauty while giving her that extra confidence and glow for such an important day. From what my wife shared with me, she truly enjoyed the entire experience and felt comfortable throughout the process. Brittany's talent and attention to detail were amazing, and we are so grateful she was part of our wedding day.

This review is solely for Vivian's communication (or lack thereof). A friend told me about Vivian…read moreand after reviewing her instagram, I absolutely fell in love with her work. I reached out immediately in mid-August to book her, and she was luckily available! I was ecstatic. I followed up with a question about booking and did not hear back for over a week. That's fine, I get that she's busy. When I finally heard back, I received a long list of items to fill out for a contract. After I sent my contract info, I received an email from her assistant that my info was received and that a contract would be coming soon. I was so excited! It had already been a month since I initially reached out, so I was ready to lock this down. After waiting for TWO MORE WEEKS, I am told that someone else booked my date and thus they could not proceed with my contract. WHAT?! You couldn't have told me that TWO weeks ago after claiming to have received my info?? By this point, it was already October. I was so upset - what a waste of my time! It had already been practically two months since I first contacted her. I decided to reach out again & ask if she had any recommendations for a similar style artist to her, and hoped she would give me suggestions out of good faith after completely wasting my time. It's been almost 3 weeks and no response. In those 3 weeks, I spoke to 5 different artists who responded IMMEDIATELY, and have moved forward with booking & paying, providing my vision, booking bridesmaids, and having all of my questions answered in hours by the artist I booked - a true sign of professionalism. If this is a sneak peek into how working with her will be like on the big day, then maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I'm sure she's a wonderful person but this was so rude & left a horrible taste in my mouth. Seems to be a common issue with her one star reviews too.

There are already so many glowing reviews about Vivian, and I'm thrilled to add mine to the list…read morebecause she was truly one of my favorite wedding vendors. I booked a bridal hair and makeup trial with Vivian a few months before the wedding (highly recommend!), and I was already blown away. She created a soft glam makeup look that enhanced my natural features in the most gorgeous, romantic way. For hair, I went with a whimsical half-up style, accented with different types of braids and a few soft face-framing pieces--it was exactly the enchanted garden vibe I was going for. I felt like a princess. And somehow... she outdid herself on the actual wedding day. Everything just clicked. My hair had even more texture and dimension, and the makeup was flawless--glowy but not heavy, beautifully blended, and lasted all day and night. I've never felt more confident and radiant. Beyond her artistry, Vivian is just a joy to be around. She brought such a calming and uplifting energy to our bridal suite. She made the whole experience feel personal, fun, and warm--cheering us on like our unofficial hype woman while we practiced a surprise bridal group dance. I honestly felt like I had a talented friend by my side. Yes, Vivian may be a bit pricier than some, but she is absolutely worth it. If you want to feel your best, look your best, and have a vendor who makes the getting-ready process magical, Vivian is the one. I can't thank her enough!

Her seeming-less style and delicate touch easily stand out from many others (you know, sometimes the makeup is too strong, and you look like a zombie? With Lynn it will never happen). She has the talent to see people as who they are and tailor the one-of-a-kind makeup that's designed only for you. She will spend HOURS with you, even for a trial session, to make sure you look like a dream. And the result? You won't even believe the goodness in the mirror is you A word of tip? Nothing! She's got it all!! The makeup, the hair, and the love. During my wedding weekend, she's never left my eyesight - As a matter of fact, I saw her more than my mom, lol.

Marie and her assistant PD are skilled and talented makeup and hair artists, and they made me, my mother, and my best friends/bridesmaids feel so beautiful and loved on my wedding day this past Saturday in San Diego. They were super professional, punctual, and so much fun to hang out with for the hours of makeup and hair prep before the wedding. We all loved our hair and makeup, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire night, even after we got off the dance floor! We received so many compliments throughout the entire night too! I really appreciate all the personalized details they put into each girl's hair and makeup, and I especially appreciate them for being so accommodating to also fix my cousin's makeup as well - she absolutely loved her look and it means so much to me that you were able to help her at the last minute. They also did makeup for my husband (the groom), and it looked so natural and his skin looked flawless for all the photos.

I showed up with only a headpiece in hand and a theme. No inspo pics and asked them to have fun and do their magic! They sure did!! I felt amazing, best glam I've ever had. They got me done abit sooner than expected, which was so helpful so I could get back to help before the event started! I received sooo many amazing and genuine compliments all night long, people who've seen me daily, for years were even shocked bc they didn't recognize me immediately. I felt gorgeous and starring their contacts because they are now my superstars for that! By the end of the night my look was still perfectly in tact! I was so exhausted after an amazing event that I just crashed when I got home but when I woke up, I honestly could have gone to another event - everything was still on, in place and looking ready to keep going. Oh and the cherry on top, I could do that bc I didn't feel heavy or piled on, from the makeup or the hair products!! If you can, BOOK with her IMMEDIATELY! It'll be the best (and easiest) glam decision you'll make. THANK YOU again Natalia (and Adriana) for making me feel and look better than I could have dreamt of.

I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about Ting and her team…read more Ting was the only makeup artist I had in mind for my wedding. I've been following her work since college after discovering her through Chriselle Lim's Instagram, and I've always loved the looks she created on her. When I told my planner, MJ, that I wanted to work with Ting, she immediately said, "Oh, Ting? She's top of the industry. Let me check if she's available." I was surprised MJ knew exactly who she was and had worked with her multiple times before. She spoke so highly of Ting, and after my experience, I completely understand why. Ting and her team are not only amazing at what they do, but they're also so sweet and kind. We chatted so much during my hair and makeup trial and even on the wedding day, which made the whole experience feel so comfortable and enjoyable. Ting is also super professional and even knows how to help fix dresses and assist with wedding dresses on the day of. My bridesmaids all looked so beautiful after Ting and her team's magic touches. My mom and mother-in-law were also so happy with their transformations and received so many compliments. Choosing Ting was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. If I ever get married again, Ting will be my go-to!!!

DISCLAIMER - This is from a makeup trial in 2020 and wedding in 2021…read more It took me time to get the courage to write this review, because Crystal seems like such a sweet person. However, I don't want anyone else to have an experience similar to mine. First off, I think her makeup skills are amazing and loved her makeup work. She took into consideration my photographer's editing style and how the makeup would show up in the photos. She's also a bubbly person that was very easy to talk to. Makeup Trial in 2020: Makeup turned out great in the photos. It took me a bit to get comfortable with how it looked in person, because I wasn't used to wearing much makeup, but she talked me through everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The makeup still looked great at the end of the night though too - and this is after doing an ocean-side photoshoot. The cons: - She ran 5-10 minutes behind schedule and the trial ended up taking longer than expected due to struggles with my hair; so I had to rush to make it to my engagement shoot. However, I did appreciate how Crystal still took the time to listen and try to correct things. - My hair - I wanted a half up, half down w/ curls hairstyle. In a call beforehand, I had explained to her how my hair has a difficult time keeping curls and that I usually can only get a hold with a straightener. I can't remember if she used a curling wand or a curling iron, but the curls were already falling flat during the trial. By the time of the photo shoot, my hair was lightly wavy. By the end, it got pretty flat. She did offer a discounted retrial to try another technique to see if my hair would hold better. I didn't end up doing a retrial since I had to reschedule my wedding. (Rescheduled) Wedding Day in 2021: I had booked Crystal for makeup for my wedding for myself and my mom. The days beforehand, she mentioned how she was getting vaccinated. Skip forward to the morning of my wedding. I wake up a little over 2 hours before our appointment time, and I notice a text from Crystal that was sent less than 6 hours before our appointment. She says she's so sorry, she's been having chills and nausea and that she's unsure if she can cover and she's reached out to her immediate artists. I don't hear from her again until 1.5 hours before our appointment, she confirms that none of her artists have reached back out to her yet. I'm not sure, but it seems that she became symptomatic because of the vaccination. At that time, it was known that people get side effects from vaccinations, so I thought it was unprofessional to schedule a vaccination right before a booking. It also did not help that Crystal was unable to find a replacement. It was such a stressful morning... In the end, luckily my friend found someone else available to do my makeup and my mom went to a salon.
