I truly couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist than Vian for my wedding day. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me look like the best version of myself. I told her early on that I prefer a very natural look and don't feel comfortable in heavy makeup -- and she absolutely delivered. My makeup felt light, effortless, and still completely me... just elevated. It was more beautiful than my daily look, but never overdone. I especially loved what she did with my eyes and lashes. They looked soft and natural, yet defined and stunning in photos. And my hair -- this was huge for me. I don't have a lot of hair and I didn't want to wear a wig on my wedding day. She respected that completely and somehow created beautiful, natural-looking volume that made me feel confident and radiant. I was honestly amazed at what she was able to do. She was also so open to feedback and small adjustments throughout the process, which made me feel really heard and comfortable. Beyond her talent, she's just a lovely person to have around on such an important day. Calm, experienced, and clearly passionate about what she does. Even her husband stopped by to help us pick up drinks that day -- it felt personal and supportive, not transactional. Having her there made my wedding morning feel relaxed and joyful. I'm so grateful I chose her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any bride looking for a natural, beautiful, and thoughtful approach. read more

Vian K Makeup & Hair - Wedding day! - Makeup Artists Near Me

This is a review purely for the bridal hair and makeup trial, have no experience with her in an actual wedding setting. The main reason I did not go forward with booking with her was because of the haphazard nature of the hair part of the trial. Vian did not part my hair, comb my hair, or use hairspray, and just draped the headpiece on instead of tying it to the hair. She told me the trial is to only get an "idea" of what the hair would look like and made me undo the hairstyle after getting pics so she could get the hair piece and pins back. I was pretty stunned because I paid almost double to include hair in the trial rather than just makeup, so I was expecting to get more than just an "idea", I wanted to see how the hairstyle would stay throughout the day. The end result was messy hair (attached a photo) and my sister who was watching commented after that she could have done a better job. In addition, Vian told me I needed to get a haircut for curtain bangs before the wedding in order for the hairstyle to work. This felt like an excuse, I'd expect her to work with the hair I have and make the best hairstyle possible, not fault me for it not looking good. Afterwards I had a hair and makeup trial with a different artist for the exact same price. At this one, I got a full hairstyle with combing, hairspray, pins that stayed on for the full day and I wasn't told that I needed to cut my hair, and it looked much better. I ended up proceeding with booking this person for the wedding instead. For the makeup, later that day I noticed that there was a smudge on my eyebrow. I checked photos and it was there in the very first photo my sister took of me after the trial was completed. I was surprised Vian didn't notice and fix this and this made me question her makeup skills as well. Style wise the makeup didn't match what I had on my Pinterest board that I showed her -- those had softer, lighter colors but I was given a darker, higher contrast look. To be fair, she asked what lip color I wanted and I told her she could choose because I didn't know (not experienced with makeup). However, the second makeup artist was so much more thorough -- she looked through my Pinterest board and asked things like, "these are all warm toned but this one is cool toned -- do you want warm or cool toned" and was able to distinguish what I liked from that, and I ended up with a look I was much happier with. Perhaps Vian would work better for someone who has a strong idea of what they're looking for, versus someone completely new to makeup (me). read more

Vian was wonderful and patient. Communication and scheduling were easy with her since she responds quickly. For the trial, I didn't have any photo inspiration, but she listened carefully to the key features I wanted and was attentive to my feedback. We even did some preview for the hair style with the makeup. On my wedding day, she came early and was fully prepared. She adjusted my makeup based on the feedback from the trial without any judgment. She worked well with my coordinator and knew exactly how long she needed to stay on schedule. I loved how my makeup turned out and how it looked in the photos. The colors she used matched my skin tone beautifully and fit the style I was going for. read more

Vian is so easy to work with. I don't use a lot of make up and she took time to help me figure out a make up look I'd love. She took my feedback, answered my questions and explained her recommendations. I had a trial for hair and make up. On wedding day she was on time and took great care to make sure my make up would last on a very hot day. She was very patient and reapplied the lashes multiple times as the glue was showing the first time and she didn't like the appearance. Super happy with my experience working with Vian! read more

I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Vian for my wedding this past June. I decided to book Vian based on the style of makeup I saw on her website and Instagram, and I'm very happy that I did so. Vian was very responsive, especially through text. She asked for photos and preferences of everyone getting their M&H done before the wedding, and sent me a schedule for wedding day and detailed instructions on how to prep for M&H, all of which was appreciated. On the wedding day, her and her assistant were on time and did M&H for 10 people. She and her assistant were very kind, able to accommodate everyone's preferences, and help people figure out their look. Vian did an amazing job on my makeup. The makeup lasted all day, and while Vian left behind some foundation and lip stick incase I needed to reapply, I didn't feel the need to do so. Many of the wedding party complimented Vian's style of makeup, saying that the natural style of makeup she did really suited everyone. I would definitely recommend Vian if you're looking for a more natural style on your big day! Photos by Kate Belle Photography, taken 6 hours apart read more

I am so pleased that I found Vian to do my makeup for my wedding day in October. She did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, and as other clients have shared, she really focused on attention to detail. I wanted something special but not so over-the-top that my family and friends wouldn't recognize me on my wedding day. We started off with a phone consultation where I got to ask questions about her services, the products she typically uses, and any concerns I had. She was extremely patient and understanding. We met for a hair and makeup trial at her studio. The final look for my wedding was so natural and beautiful, but most importantly it felt comfortable and lasted the entire night. I didn't have to retouch my makeup with the exception of reapplying lipstick. She was so helpful the day of the wedding and helped me with my dress train during my first look photo session! She took some wonderful photos and videos of my first look. I highly recommend Vian if you are looking for a professional, talented, and experienced makeup artist. read more

I had such an AMAZING experience with Vian as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding! From the moment I booked with her, the communication was seamless. She was always responsive and patiently answered all my questions, even going the extra mile to recommend the best hair length for my haircut. On the wedding day, Vian arrived on time and worked her magic on my hair and makeup beautifully. She offered professional advice and made sure I looked and felt like myself, which was so important to me. Her calm and professional manner put me at ease throughout the process. I have a very long and heavy veil, but my hair stayed perfectly in place and never loosened. After the ceremony, Vian returned to help me with a second look, and it was stunning! She created a completely different style that was just as amazing as the first. Even with a fast first dance filled with turns and movement, my hair stayed flawless. I received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup. The makeup lasted all day and looked just as perfect at the end of the night as it did when we started. I didn't even want to take it off when we got home because Vian did such an outstanding job. I would 100% recommend Vian to all my friends - she truly is amazing! read more

Vian is super professional and truly skilled at her craft! I first had a trial hair and makeup session with her, and she was extremely patient and accommodating with all my questions and requests. My friends gave me feedback on how the look came across in person and in photos, and Vian took their comments and suggested some great adjustments. On the day of my elopement, she ensured I had a stunning look that lasted throughout the day (probably the most beautiful I'll ever be haha). She's also very efficient and experienced, the groom touch-up was quick so that we could leave on time but looked great! I can't recommend Vian enough to any bride who wants to look amazing without any added stress. read more

Vian did the bridal makeup for my wedding, and I was very pleased with how it turned out. Finding a makeup artist who knows how to work with Asian features was very important for me, and Vian understood how to accentuate my individual features for both the close-ups and many portraits we took. I felt like a fairy that popped out of the woods once I had my dress on. In addition, the makeup held up very well -- I cried, laughed, wore a dab of frosting, and danced my heart away over a summer evening, and I still looked the picturesque bride! read more

We disagree with the characterization in the reply. For example, neither the assistant rate was offered nor was the timeline agreement as simple as described; due to the pressure to finalize details long before the wedding day, we were essentially forced to accept her last-minute scheduling request. Vian added extra stress to our wedding day, and in contrast, we had no issues with any of our other vendors and found them all very professional. However, we hope no one else has this experience, and we wish Vian the best going forward. read more

I truly can't say enough great things about Vian. She did an amazing job for both my engagement shot and my wedding day. She really takes the time to understand what are you looking for and listens to your need. The best thing about her service is how she manages to make you look elegant and classy while staying natural. Everyone complimented on how great I looked on my wedding day and my husband was simply in awe when we did our first look - none of that would have been possible without Vian's special touches. She also constantly checked in with me during the day just to make sure I was happy with my makeup throughout the day. If you are getting married and need a makeup artist, look no further. Vian is the one. read more

Amazing experience with Vian. She did hair and makeup for me and bridesmaids as well as makeup touch up for men. She was both very detailed (touched me up MULTIPLE times / stayed a little longer during pre-ceremony photos to ensure I had what I needed) AND efficient. We all felt like she took great care of us. Lastly, the makeup and hair stayed all day and night - through rain, wind, tons of dancing, a very windy ferry ride, and all the way to after party 12+ hours later. I got tons of compliments on how well the makeup stayed on. Would definitely book with her again. read more

Vian is an excellent hair and makeup artist who goes above and beyond for her clients. She made sure I did not have to worry a thing about hair or makeup on my special days. We did a hair and makeup trial which went wonderfully. She was also a part of both my pre-wedding photoshoot and my wedding day. She listened to my ideas and gave her professional opinions on how different hairstyles or makeup styles would look prettier on me. I requested for three hairstyles changed and done within a short amount of time and she executed it perfectly. She also helped with props and my wedding dress train during my photoshoot session. She even took behind the scene shots and videos for me. Can't recommend her enough! read more

Vian was amazing and I really liked her makeup and hairstyle. She was also very patient and kind. I can't recommend her enough!

We are so glad that we have found Vian to be part of our wedding! Vian did a great job for both our engagement photo and wedding day. She went above and beyond to make sure we are happy about the makeups and hairstyle. My mom and I prefer a more Asian natural looking makeup, and my two bridesmaids want a more American look. Vian did both styles nicely and we all loved our make up!! Our wedding was on one of the hottest days in the summer and the makeup lasted all day & night long even after all the dances! read more

I'm very thankful Vian did my wedding makeup and hair, she did an awesome job, it turned perfectly on my wedding day. My first look went beyond my expectations, I don't think I can do it without her. With extensive wedding experiences, she gave us a lot of tips on the timelines and preparations. She even gave us some checklists a few days before to make sure my bridemaid and myself are in the best state. She always answers my question promptly, it definitely helped me to be more confident and less stressful during the preparation. Her professional skills provided best customer experience in our wedding. Without any doubt, I highly recommend Vian! read more

I highly recommend Vian for your wedding makeup & hair.She is easy to work with and meet your needs with high efficiency. I contacted Vian a week before my wedding. Upon confirmation for the work, she asked about my dress style and my preference for the hairstyle and makeup in advance, as well as gave out some suggestions. P.s, I didn't do the trial makeup coz I looked up the photos and believed I wanted those fresh and elegant looks for my wedding. Night before the wedding day, I asked Vian if she could come earlier and she came almost an hour earlier even though she had another appointment before! Then she brought full set of tools, even the lighting equipment (oh, and she brought hair pins in different color to match your hair). She is so professional and managed to do a long-lasting yet not "too much" makeup. All in all, I love the look she made and would recommend her to my friends! read more

Vian she is so experienced at bride making up and also she could help you to design the hair styles in what you fitted for or the one you like.

If you have a big day in Seattle area I highly recommended her to be your making up artiest. read more

I've had the pleasure to have Vian do my makeup on multiple occasions and every time was a wonderful experience. She is efficient, professional, and on time. She uses high quality products and pays attention to details, making sure I have perfect make up and hair done.

Highly recommend her for any photoshoot, wedding, special events and parties, etc. read more

Awesome work! I contacted Vian for my engagement. She came on time and we had a great time when doing makeup! My eyes are clearly not even, and she fixed them perfectly without hurt or uncomfortable for the long day. I love natural make up, and I think she did it very well. My haircut is messy and my face is kinda long, but the hairstyle fixed them and also fit with my traditional dress. She also told me how to do makeup remove and take care of my hair after the engagement. She is a skilled and kind makeup artist! Highly recommended! read more
