She takes extra time to fully understand what her clients want to get out of their beauty experience and the vibe or look they're going for. She's kind, accommodating and is very helpful when it comes to recommending skin and makeup products that are "just right". She introduced me to lashes and I've never looked back since! Seriously girls, life-changing! My only regret is that she's back in California, but if I'm ever out there, I'll book an appointment with her ASAP! She really is amazing and has her own special way of making women of all ages and backgrounds feel beautiful, inside and out, every time they sit in her chair.

Tomiko is the most talented artist and personable woman in the business…read more I feel so fortunate Tomiko was even available to do the makeup for my wedding day, because I know from her reputation that she is in high demand. The reasons why I chose Tomiko are simple. First, she is so warm and instantly puts anyone she is around at ease. This becomes important, because on your wedding day, you really want to be surrounded by good people that make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Secondly, Tomiko is all about highlighting a person's natural beauty. I am not used to getting my makeup done, and so many artists overdo it and make you feel like you're looking at a stranger in the mirror, but not Tomiko. Tomiko made sure I was 100% in love with my wedding makeup, and that when I walked down the aisle or saw myself in photos after the fact, I recognized myself AND felt so beautiful. Thank you Tomiko!! You are a gift to brides everywhere!!!

While I adore Page and thought she was lovely, I wasn't thrilled with my hair as a bridesmaid at a…read morerecent wedding. I have been a bridesmaid several times and my hair is super easy to do. Pull it back, throw in some fake extensions and call it a day. My hair looked VERY promy, but Page redid it and it looked good for about an hour. Before we left for the wedding, the bride herself was fixing my hair that was falling down. But, let me start at the beginning... Page and her make-up partner, Cindy, arrived on time and set up. I, as well as the bride, had been in contact with Page several times and MONTHS before the wedding. When they arrived they both said they were "expecting" more people to get their make-up done. WHY? I have no idea. So, while I was getting my hair done, Cindy complained out loud that she had other appointments that she needed to get to. We booked them for the wedding... she should have been there for when we and the people who were getting their make-up done needed her. I also reminded them that NO ONE wanted air brush. Apparently, Cindy only does air brush make-up. This should have been brought up in the beginning. But, it was just another thing for Cindy to complain about. When the bride arrived, I decided that I would suck it up and get my eyes done so Cindy would stop complaining and giving everyone dirty looks because she was "sitting around." My eyes cost $35. My eyes water a ton in general (which I warned Cindy about), but she kept packing on the frosted eye shadow. I asked her to stick with the matte colors, but it didn't do much good. Then... came the lashes. And... The lash glue. It was a disaster. She got eye lash glue all over the place. When she said she was done, I went into the bathroom and saw one lash on crooked and the other eye with make-up running down my face since my eyes were stinging. So, I took everything off and started over myself. Then, we had to pay Cindy - who THEN complained that she only took cash and who told us we could pay with a check? I did pay her the $35 and gave her $40 in cash. Seeing that I no longer had my make-up on since she almost blinded me with eye lash glue, I thought she would offer my a discount or to redo them, but took the $40. When I asked her for my change, she said she didn't have any and had to ask Page for some. (Page did offer to redo my lashes, but at that point, we had to be getting dressed for the wedding.) Overall, Page was great... the price was right and she was very sweet, but if you want modern and messy up-dos, she's probably not your girl. Cindy, isn't anyone's girl. She was just unpleasant the whole day.

Andrea is hands down the best, the only person I would trust to do my hair!…read more Since it was the first time I had ever bleached my hair, I was so nervous but she did not disappoint! I got to my ideal color over a few sessions and over time since I was nervous as how I looked with lighter hair but after, I couldn't imagine being anything but blonde! On top of that, I've had very bad experiences with salons in the past. Most hair stylists do not know how to cut Asian hair and I ended up looking like someone hacked at it every time. Andrea always knew how to thin out the ends so that choppy block look never happened. I always ask for a lot of layers in my hair and she always delivers. I am fairly low maintenance when it comes to hair, I don't like to spend a whole lot of time doing it and she always gave me a cut that accommodated my lifestyle as well as gave me tips to get a great look that wouldn't take a long time. I could wear it down or lightly curled at it always turned out FLAWLESS! Lastly, Andrea was super helpful with how I should keep my hair healthy and recommended the best products possible to keep it beautiful and healthy. I had no idea how different my hair would feel once I had it bleached and her recommendations definitely helped me keep it feeling hydrated and soft rather than dry and brittle.

On my wedding day she was on time and I was truly shocked at how fast and precise her work was. My bridesmaids had everything from updos to curls, my hair was slicked down in the front, and she made each of us look and feel so beautiful. She was so organized that not only were we done on time, but we were actually ready early! Which is unheard of on wedding mornings. Having that extra time did wonders for my nerves, and it was all thanks to Andrea for moving swiftly without compromising on anything.
