From the fast response on yelp, attending my call on a weekend to the minute I sat in her studio, to get my hair done, I felt completely taken care of. She really listened to what I wanted, offered thoughtful suggestions, and executed everything perfectly. The hair turned out absolutely amazing. The Soft, elegant look that I had envisioned for such a special day. I felt confident, beautiful, and shower-ready the entire time. What stood out most was the attention to detail and the calm, positive energy throughout the appointment. We connected so well and It made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable, which is exactly what you want during pregnancy. Not to mention, she finished the entire look in 30 minutes . If you're looking for someone you can trust for an important event, Ngugen is your person. I'm so grateful and will definitely be coming back. Highly, highly recommend!

Since my event was only 4 hours, she offered a beautiful recreation of a more natural look. I was open for artist creative freedom and opted for no trial. I will definitely contact Nguyen for future events! She has fair prices and travel fees. I'm lucky that she was referred to me by a fellow HMU artist.

I had THE most fabulous time being made camera ready by the talented Michelle for not just one but…read moreTWO different photo shoots in the last month. The first time was for a head shot shoot, where she gave me lovely fake lashes and a smokey eye look. I looked so gorgeous I almost didn't want to wash it off at the end of the day! The second time was for a model shoot where I was being photographed wearing different types of eyewear. No fake lashes that time but she still made my eyes POP with just the right amount of eye shadow and mascara. She also curled my hair (which was kind of frizzy when I showed up to the shoot) and it was so perfectly done that now I am seriously thinking of investing in a curling iron. If you are looking for a professional MUA with a great personality who makes you feel at ease and comfortable in her makeup chair, I highly recommend Michelle. Her whole vibe makes you feel pretty and ready to take on the world!

I got so many compliments from all of our guests :') I wanted a semi-natural look with smoked eyeliner, and Michelle worked with me to create something that was comfortable (I don't normally wear makeup) but also bridal. I also wanted a very specific hair style with real florals, and she took so much time to make sure it was perfect - even slotting me in for a second trial to get the length and fullness right with extensions. From our very first conversation Michelle was sooo helpful and patient, sharing many tips and guides with me to nail my skincare routine - and this continued throughout our trials and the day-of. She navigated scheduling changes with ease, was so patient as we took a ton of getting ready photos, and she even helped my family out with last-minute hairstyling requests a few weeks before the event! Michelle is all around fantastic to work with, so responsive and patient, and does everything possible to make her clients feel taken care of. I had such a great time working with her, and would highly recommend her to any brides!!!

This is coming a little late but I wanted to take a moment to thank Linh for taking care of me on…read moremy wedding day. I don't think I could have trusted anyone else to ensure that I was looking my best. A couple of months before the wedding, during a trial, we talked about color, natural looks, and what I'd feel comfortable with. She cleaned up my brows and made suggestions for what would look best for my big day, including what kind of lashes would work best for me. Her consultation was really professional and made me feel comfortable. With her guidance, I ordered what she recommended and, of course, for my actual wedding day, I left everything at home instead of bringing them to the hotel!! Omg... thankfully, Linh had extras of everything I'd need. She made it work, including back up lashes, and told me not to panic. The customer service, preparedness, kindness, and care really helped to make my day go smoothly. I can't believe I blanked out on such important stuff, but she had me covered. She even helped one of my bridesmaids when that wasn't part of the original plan. I had a truly great day, and it helped to have Linh start my morning off right. Her comforting smile and calm demeanor was such a welcome. Thanks Linh!!

I have dark and thick brows. They are unruly and stubborn. But with the right hands and skill, they…read moreare one of my favorites features on myself. I've tried and gone to endless brow places (in the East Bay, SF and along the Peninsula) over the last ten years - tried everything from just tweezing, waxing and threading - some have been great, some have been not so great. But none have understood me and my brows like Lyn does. She has a knack and eye for natural beauty and seriously brings out the best in your features. My most recent brow experience before going to Lyn left my brows in a disastrous state. Too thin and uneven. As someone with thick and dark brows, it was truly an insecure and vulnerable place to be in. So, again, I was in search of my next brow person. I've always admired Lyn's work on Instagram, so was so excited to see that she was offering appointments again. I signed up for a 'Full Brow Transformation'. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I could not be happier with Lyn, the entire experience or how my brows turned out. The second picture is with my brows filled in, but even without them filled in, they look fantastic. I intend on seeing Lyn every couple weeks to maintain and update the shapes of brows - not just through my wedding in September - but for....like...

Pushp did an amazing work with my hair, I had requirements like no comb or any hair tools usage and she agreed to all terms and conditions and created a lovely updo.

The previous day for my Haldi function, she made a beautiful side fish braid and only stopped when she was satisfied with the result. The day of the wedding, she made a nice bun with side braids My hair stayed perfectly intact the whole day. I absolutely loved my hair. Simi was amazing before the wedding day as she kept reminding me of all the things I need to buy for the makeup and hair and sent me good checklists so I don't forget anything. In covid times, where i hardly had any help and everything was decided last minute, Simi was of great help! I will totally go back to them whenever I need to.

I don't like to write negative reviews, but overall, I was somewhat disappointed with Tiffany given…read morehow expensive her service was, transparency and how my hair held up at the wedding. Tiffany really nails the soft-glam look for makeup. It's very flattering but you still look like you. She's a pro for this What bothered me the most is she didn't mention she had a minimum until after she did my trial. It's not on her website and not in the informational email. In order to meet the minimum, we decided to add my mom and MIL into the schedule but this ended up changing our whole timeline for the morning at the last minute and, I had to wake up way earlier than I planned since she said it would take too long to set up at the Airbnb they were at, but OK. I did a trial with her a week before my wedding and the teasing really damaged my hair, I could barely brush it. My hair looked great during the first look, but it really didn't hold, and even by the ceremony it was falling out. Similarly, my MIL also had curls done and I noticed it didn't hold up either. Lastly, she overslept my trial (which she was very apologetic for). She offered a small discount, but I didn't really feel like it compensated for me taking the day off, spending a whole day driving to San Jose, waiting an hour, driving back, and then rescheduling. She was about 15 minutes late arriving to our venue, but it didn't end up setting our schedule back.

I had already trusted her with my makeup from other jobs we had done together, but she truly gave me the best glam I have ever had! She was also amazing at doing my mom and sister's glam as well. Her attention to detail is so professional, she was helpful with getting us into our dresses, and she was always there for a good touch up on our long day.

I've told her I need to take lessons from her.. Bc she just knows how to work my eye shape. Other makeup artists won't do that it good EVER. Besides that she literally will give me glowing skin and knows how to contour my face perfectly. She is a TRUE professional and perfectionist. I remember she came super super early and on time before the sun came out for the day of my marriage ceremony- with a perfect attitude and ready to go.. I was the sleepy bride to be lol she's focused, and patient w me when I continue to blink during my sessions and I always get nonstop compliments when she does my makeup'.. she kills it every.

She came highly recommended by my planner Courtney Bailey at Cole Drake. Kelly absolutely did not disappoint. Her attention to detail is incredble, and she has such a calm, professional, and warm presence that made getting ready for my big day such a joy. She made sure my team know how to place my veil and Vietnamese headpiece properly, and she provided touch up kits which were such a lifesaver throughout the day.
