I used our engagement photos as a trial run and shared with her what I liked or didn't like for the wedding day. She did a great job of listening to the feedback and made adjustments when necessary. Overall, I absolutely LOVED my hair and make up on our wedding day. The look she gave me was absolutely beautiful, but more importantly I still felt and looked like myself. Thank you again, Jill! The look you gave me was stunning, and I will forever be grateful to you for making me feel like a million bucks!

I booked her on March 23rd for my daughter's prom make-up and hair on April 18th…read more At 4:40pm the day before on April 17th she called to say her sitter was in a car accident and she wouldn't be able to take my daughter the next day unless it was at 9:45am or she could refund my deposit. If you are familiar with the industry: she got a better booking that would make her more money and waited last minute to try and force my daughter's appoint to 10 hours before her event. And she's a bad liar...you know the type: they ramble, they over explain, etc. Simply put: she does business dirty. Unless you have a wedding with a large party that will make her more money she won't be loyal to your booking. Lastly, it took over 12 hours from the time it was confirmed I would not be using her, a venmo request, and a text to get my deposit refunded while I scrambled to find a replacement. We booked someone who came in on their birthday weekend when she heard what happened. My daughter looked STUNNING. Girl, bye. Have the life you deserve. Does dirty business.

She installed my clip-in extensions flawlessly, and they stayed secure and looked absolutely perfect from the first photo of the day until the last dance of the night. My wedding hairstyle was everything I had dreamed of and looked exactly like my inspiration picture--if not better! Christina truly has an amazing eye for detail and made sure every curl and piece was perfectly in place. She also styled three of my bridesmaids, and each of them looked beautiful and unique while still fitting the overall wedding vision. They were obsessed!!! Her talent, efficiency, and warm personality made the entire getting-ready experience so enjoyable, and I am so grateful she was part of my special day. These two are the dream team!

I messaged at 10pm asking for help after a major hair disaster and panic that I was in. The salon owner messaged me at 12pm reassuring me they could offer a consultation and told me to come in first thing in the morning. On a Saturday when salons are their busiest, the owner matched me up with one of her top color correction specialists. We got nothing but compassion and reassurance that they would do all they could to help my daughter before her photography shoot. I was most afraid of the cost, however what they quoted me for the time they needed to fix the problem was so incredibly reasonable. While I waited the owner continually checked on me, I was offered a latte, she talked me through my daughters process and just made us both feel very special. I knew this place was heaven sent. I even booked my next event with their hair and makeup specialist. The salon is very clean and has Top quality equipment, products and their stylists have tons of experience. I left feeling so thankful and came back for a Keratin treatment done by Adriana, the owner. I have not met anyone who takes such pride in her business and the quality she puts out is so amazing. My new place highly recommend. My second review is for Angie, our stylist who put over 12 hours of work in to fix my daughter's hair. It was horribly damaged. She not only squeezed her in on her day off but she stood as long as it took to make sure it was not rushed and not further damaged. After we were done she wanted to see her again to put another conditioning treatment and be the one to blow dry her hair before her photos. She took such good care of us, I'm so thankful!

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.

Edit: After I made this review, Emily reached out to me and sincerely apologized. It warmed my…read moreheart that she came to me directly and offered to make things up to me in some way. She even offered a refund but I could not in good conscience take it. Emily worked hard and did her very best. She was sweet and my face makeup was everything I wanted. I decided to change the style of my hair after the trial and did not redo the trial. I also believe that she did not have enough experience with my hair type and texture to honor what I wanted. I suppose in retrospect all I can say is she did her best and I respect that. If you are looking to book her and you happen to change your mind about the style after the hair trials, based on my own experience I would recommend to do another before your big day. Overall, she is a great person and an even better artist. Original post: I got married last year October 2025 and I have been thinking about my experience here and I just can't keep my experience to myself anymore. I really really wanted to like this business, I liked the K drama idol glam, the pictures she posted seemed so well done, and when I met her she was sweet. I liked Asian style make up because it was natural and seamless, which is what I wanted. She did an incredible job with my makeup and it really did stay all night! I showed her an inspiration picture and she nailed it. But, what went wrong, was my hair. I should have known when I saw the demographic of her portfolio. This is to say, I am Caucasian and have thin fizzy oily hair. And well, in all honesty I don't think Emily had lot of experience with my kind of hair. I asked for a half up have down style with curls for my trial hair and makeup. She did it and my first thought was that it was messy. I recognized that maybe this was part of the style and went for a different style. In retrospect, I should have done another hair trial as soon as I changed my mind about the style I wanted but I couldn't have afforded it. Anyway, as for my curls I let her know my hair is pretty shapeless and thin, so curls need extra time to set a a light product to hold. I ended up with curls that heavy and caked with product that lasted a grand total of 30 minutes. I went to Emily and told her my experience and she just said that my hair didn't hold a curl very well so she would have to add more product and go slowly with each curl. So I took it upon myself to do 2 things, choose one of the sturdiest curl styles of "glam waves" and find my own product and test it myself to know it worked. Shout out to davines. I had even used the product myself to curl my hair and saw that it lasted a couple days when I did it myself. I was confident, I had seen the portfolio pictures where Emily had done glam waves and she confirmed she could do them. I had had picked and tested a product that I knew worked. Then I even got hair extensions so that the texture of the hair extensions could help to hold my hair exactly in place. Well, it still didn't work out. First, as I was getting my hair done, there was a strong scent of burned hair. It was so strong that my mother in law and sisters in law came in and were actually concerned something was wrong. We went on with the hair appointment and seeing as she had a picture of the glam waves I wanted, and said she could do it and did it before, I sat and waited. I waited for her to be done. When I finally got to see, it was not what I asked for. Again in retrospect this is what hair trials are for and I don't blame Emily, I do believe she did her best but just did not have enough experience with my type of hair. Emily had done generic curls that were heavy and crunchy with product, my hair was heavy and smelled. What was disappointing is that I did not get Hollywood glam waves. The curls were not even in a single direction and It did not look like she combed out the curls and set them as waves. I was extremely disappointed but I was out of time. I had to accept what was done and go off to my wedding! Now when I look at my photos I see my hair and I am upset to think that it did not turn out the way I imagined. I really wish she had been honest about not knowing how to work with my hair so I could find someone else. All in all I loved my makeup but I was unhappy with my hair.
