My hair stayed flawless all day and night, from getting ready through hours of dancing and the afterparty. She was professional, kind, and so easy to work with.

Cherry Le did my makeup for a television premiere last week. It was my first time getting my makeup…read moredone since my wedding almost twelve years ago, and Cherry made this middle-aged mom feel glamorous and red carpet ready. I found Cherry on Yelp and messaged her just a few days ahead of the Tuesday night event. She responded with her quote and the relevant details, and after mulling over whether or not to spend the money, I secured the appointment with a deposit the night before. She only had a 1:00 slot available, but she was able to come to me, meeting me in my hotel room. She arrived right on time with an arsenal of beauty supplies. I liked her immediately. She was so friendly and energetic, and said flattering things about my skin, obviously music to my 39-year-old ears. I had a great time hanging out with her. She asked what I was looking for and I said I was walking a red carpet and just wanted to look good. She took me through her overall plan and started with my eye makeup, layering on colors and checking in to see if I was okay with the level of drama. I didn't know enough to weigh in and let her do her thing, and less than an hour later, I was fully dolled up. She even put fake eyelashes on top of my already fake eyelashes. To be honest, I was a little worried at first. I looked very dramatic for two in the afternoon, and I wondered if I'd let her go overboard. Once I was dressed and at the premiere, though, I felt fairly confident and comfortable and got lots of compliments. I walked the carpet, the second time I've done that in my life, and stood and posed awkwardly for a million photos. I've seen the pictures from both events and am really glad I got my makeup done this time around. The bolder makeup just worked better with those bright lights. I'm not professionally pretty (I'm a writer, which is, if anything, an ugly person's job) so it was fun to get my face painted and hang out with the attractive people who go to television premieres. Thanks to Cherry, I looked as good as my genes would allow. If you're looking for a professional makeup artist in New York City, I'd highly recommend Beauty by Cherry Le. She's a sweetheart, and she does excellent work.

My makeup was flawless, lasted all night and was exactly what I wanted. She even saved the day by helping me correct a slight spray tan discoloring on my chest Her attention to detail is impressive to watch, but the makeup itself was so light and wearable it almost felt like I had nothing on. Cherry herself is warm, professional and so fun to chat with ! If you ever want event makeup for any reason, I can't recommend her enough

Some of my friends and family also had their makeup done on the day of the wedding and everyone loved how it came out.

Willow House Beauty is the absolute best and I am so glad that they played such a big part in my…read morespecial day. They did hair and make-up for my recent wedding on October 19th and they are the ULTIMATE pros. Michelle (make-up), Gina (hair), and Marisela (hair) worked with everyone to bring their vision alive in a way that was authentic and made each person feel comfortable. We had a range of hair types (long, short, thick, thin) and a range of skin tones and they truly made everyone look the best version of themselves. From my Mom and MIL who both were nervous having their hair and make-up done (both prefer a natural look), to some friends who love to glam up, Willow House Beauty knew exactly how to make everyone happy! For my make-up I wanted a natural but slightly elevated look that reflected the special day but still made me look like myself. Of course Michelle nailed it! For my hair, I wanted it pulled back but also locked down for extreme dancing. Let me tell you, Gina delivered! Almost more importantly, they are the NICEST and bring such positive energy to the room. All of my friends and family called that piece out. It is something that I really value and it is clearly a big priority for Willow House. So run, don't walk, and book them for your wedding or next big event. I don't plan on having another wedding, but I certainly plan to work with Willow House for all of my future beauty needs!

Really great value for the service received!…read more I was able to have Jeremy as my hairstylist and I got a haircut/blow-dry that transformed my long unkempt hair to a chiq and stylish medium length. Overall, it was a very efficient and pleasurable experience that started at the shampoo bowl with a relaxing hair shampoo service. I was then escorted to the styling chair and promptly received my haircut. Jeremy was very attentive listening to my wants and desires for my haircut and was able to deliver with expertise and style. Highly recommend Jeremy for a haircut/styling! Will definitely return.

Super disappointed with my experience :( I showed pictures of the exact cut I wanted and explained…read morein detail the specifics. I really liked my length before and wanted to keep it but maybe take off an inch... really just wanted a trim and some shaping. I even showed her exactly how much I wanted off the end before she cut. I noticed there was more hair coming off than seemed normal and when she showed me my new length she had cut off more like 4 inches. The shape was also completely wrong. I was very clear about my goals but ended up with a haircut I really don't like and now have to wait months to a year for it to grow back out. Definitely depleted my confidence. Would not recommend for a cut - the blow out was good though, but didn't use heat protection

On top of that, the person I spoke with didn't seem interested in doing my hair or providing good customer service. Overall, it wasn't a welcoming experience, so I decided to go elsewhere.

If you decide to inquire about their services, you may want to be mindful about sharing your phone number or email if you don't want to receive promotional messages.

Emi has decades of industry experience working with fashion runway, magazines, and corporate styling. She isn't on social media (nor does she need to be), but if you are looking for someone who will do natural, elegant styling for hair and makeup on your wedding day (or in our case, wedding adjacent since we got married a year earlier), Emi is IT. She was totally responsive to preferences I had expressed before and during our session, she used high quality products, and as someone who finds it difficult to find an artist who understands how to do makeup for Asian faces and features, she hit all the marks and more. I was so happy with her work, and I highly recommend her!! 10/10

Never will I ever support this business again!! I went to the BK location on 3 separate occasions…read moreand it was closed each time. (I checked her BK store hours) I decided to order online although I've been warned by a previous customer not to do so. Against my better judgment and me wanting to give a try for myself despite others opinions and warning has led me to this review. I placed this order on Nov 16,2021. Ten days later and the products have still not been shipped out!(Label created but never shipped) So, I decided to inbox the owner on IG just to be told that (my order was being shipped out that day and that shipping don't include the weekend). She went on to say "she wished it wasn't shipped out because she would have refunded my $$ Her response was downright rude and inconsiderate of my frustration not to mention, she clearly lied about my products being shipped that day!! Theeee WORST customer service EVER‼. I try to be supportive of black owned businesses and this is the treatment I get! They don't hesitate taking your money! **DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY** This is my honest and fair review of the customer service. It does not come from a place of hate or anything other than disappointment and dissatisfaction!! FYI...I have receipts of the inbox, chose to leave that out. However, at no time was I rude or disrespectful to warrant this negative energy!
