Since we live out of town, I never had the chance to do a trial run. But after showing her a few inspiration photos the night before, she completely understood the vision and executed it flawlessly. Not only did everyone look incredible, she was so efficient and organized throughout the morning. She kept everything running perfectly on schedule without ever making anyone feel rushed. In fact, my mother-in-law was so impressed with everyone's makeup that Chyla was even able to squeeze her in for a service at the last minute, which she was thrilled about. Beyond her talent, Chyla was calm, warm, and such a positive presence to have around on the wedding morning. She made the entire experience feel easy and fun. I could not have been happier and would recommend her to anyone looking for a truly talented wedding hair and makeup artist.

She's definitely an expert with a natural look on Asian complexions but I would recommend her to anyone. I've had more than one bad make up session in the past where the make up artist projected their vision of what I should look like instead of what actually looked natural on me. So I really appreciate someone who listens.

I didn't even do a trial due to circumstance (I was arriving in town two days before the wedding), but everything turned out perfect. I was paired with Heather who was SO sweet. She was quick, kind, on time, and just genuinely a joy to work with. Everyone looked amazing; she pulled my vision for my wedding look right out of my head. I'm so grateful for her being a part of my special day and I would love the opportunity to get glammed by her again.

I had a Chicago wedding and currently residing in LA, I had a hard time pulling the trigger on a makeup artist for my wedding, waiting until 2 weeks before to finally decide. I was drawn to DIem Angie Co. for their gallery and experience with Asian features. After filling out their online form and sending inspiration photos, they sent over a detailed contract (to expire within 2 days). 20% gratuity is already added to the payment. Payment is through zelle or CC with a 4% processing fee. Extra add-ons are paid to the artist after (e.g., lashes and airbrush foundation is an extra charge) through Zelle. Email communication was ok but Diem was straight to the point and provided a timeline right up front which was helpful in planning my day. What was a little spotty was understanding who my makeup artist(s) would be - it wasn't told to me until I asked a week before the wedding because I had just assumed it was Diem (and Melissa who was cc'ed in all emails) since it wasn't noted prior. Pati was my lead makeup artist and hair for myself and she was wonderful! I had my makeup trial the day prior to my wedding and she was very kind, thorough, and asked a lot of questions to get all the details right. I appreciated how she listened to my concerns and we worked through a couple different hair styles which was great. I was wearing a traditional Vietnamese headpiece so we tried that on to make sure it worked with the hair as well. I felt really comfortable with her and she was upfront about any additional costs. On the day of, she was on time, very prepared and worked with each bridesmaid until they satisfied with their look. She gave me some products to keep fo touch-up later on as well. Would highly recommend her!! Our 2nd makeup artist, I didn't find out who until the day of was Amanda (not listed on their website of artists currently). I didn't have much interaction with her but she was timely and worked through my each bridesmaid, Mother of the bride and auntie well. Overall, for a short time frame, Diem Angie Co was professional and timely and I can't stress enough how amazing Pati was!

    I am obsessed with this place! I've been here 3 times for hair (twice) and makeup (3 times with two…read moredifferent artists) and the team nailed it each visit! I'm really impressed with their business model because it's damn hard to find great makeup artists and hair stylists that stick to a pretty solid routine so you know what to expect. I feel like Goldplaited is the like the Lettuce Entertain You of hair and beauty. Like... you can ask for completely different styles or even get different makeup artists (like when you walk into different LEY restaurants) but the level of service and outcome is consistently on point to your level of satisfaction. One time I asked for a stylish pony, another time vintage hair half up/half down, and both times I was obsessed! The makeup artists know how to make you look natural but elevated. Your skin looks like your skin, just better. For make up, I've requested twice (from two different artists) "a natural, me - just better, look," and also a soft glam warm smokey eye - all of which were PERFECT! I did not have to touch up through out the day. All I did was either add more moisturizing spray or UD's All Nighter Spray. Note: If you want airbrush, request it beforehand when you make your reservation. An added plus is that these artists have RANGE! I'm in my 30s but I've seen ladies with mature skin (50+), Gen Z, I mean the skin types ran the gamut and all of the ladies that walked out of there looked beautiful AF. Not to mention the different hair types and requests that they knocked out of the park. The girl that did my hair (twice) was confident and knew exactly what to do even with a brief description or photo. Her confidence gave me confidence knowing she knew her sh*t. And my hair came out perfect every time. The place is very clean and I've consistently seen the artists wash their brushes between each new client. Making appointments online is easy and metered parking is always easy to find. The makeup and beauty industry can be hit or miss but whoever is hiring/training at this place deserves a damn award. And of course, the artists there are just SO talented. If you've got an event, check this place out! You won't be disappointed.

Pretty much sounds like a stylist or receptionist just texted me trying to scam me out of $25 just to put in their pocket because why was this not on the website when I booked an "early bird"? When I checked out, I agreed to pay $60. First and last time customer.

She has such a calming, joyful presence--and she not only made me feel so beautiful, but also so comfortable and confident. She even recommended products that I still use daily, a testament to how much she cares about her clients beyond just the wedding day. Kelly and her wonderful assistant, Nikki, took the time to talk with each of my eight bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandma to understand their preferences and styles. The result was makeup that felt true to each person while still looking cohesive and elegant. Best of all, everyone's makeup lasted perfectly--through laughter, tears, dancing, and everything in between--from the very first application at 9am until the last song at 12:30am. Kelly is not only a talented artist but also a gem of a person. Her warmth, kindness, and skill made her such an important part of our wedding day. I am so grateful we had her with us

Once completing my bridal make-up trial with her, I realized she not only had great taste, but an amazing talent.

Unfortunately, I can't recall the names of the two lovely artists who worked with us that day, but I personally was very happy with both my makeup and hair. They stayed very close to the inspiration images I shared, which was extremely important to me, and I felt confident and beautiful on such a special day. Our group had a mix of services, some bridesmaids booked makeup only, a couple booked hair only, and about three of us had both services done. To be completely honest, not everyone in the group loved their final look. A few of the girls weren't thrilled with their makeup, and a couple felt the same about their hair. That said, in the artists' defense, the bridesmaids didn't feel comfortable speaking up at the time, and instead made small adjustments themselves afterward. I don't believe this reflects a lack of skill, but rather the importance of clearly communicating preferences in the moment. Despite that, I would still recommend Pin Me Up. Their work is professional, polished, and their pricing can be considered on the higher side felt worth it to me for wedding-day services. One piece of advice: I would skip the $75 consultation call. It lasted under 15 minutes and mainly covered who would be present on the wedding day. I didn't find it particularly helpful and would suggest using that money toward something else instead. Overall, if you're clear about what you want and comfortable advocating for adjustments, Pin Me Up delivers quality wedding hair and makeup services and helped me feel great on one of the most important days of my life.

I had an appointment somewhere else but decided to go with Pin Me Up because they were able to come to the hotel and the cost was similar.

I knew I couldn't pull it off on my own so I'm so glad I decided to spend the money on myself because Lily made me look stunning! She was very friendly, outgoing and helpful. I didn't have a vision or ideas for what I wanted and she asked the right questions to get to a great look. My updo was especially exciting since my hair is long, thin and straight.
