    Long overdue review for Vivian. She is probably one of the most talented and most genuine people I have ever met. I'm a repeat client and I have never been disappointed with her work. I just tell her the event and what I'm wearing then **boom** she works her magic. I have not had any issues with communicating with her via email. She's very clear about making sure you check your spam and check her IG for email response updates. She comes at a premium but her work is stunning, consistently amazing, and your hair and makeup is sure to turn heads.

    I had 2 other bridal makeup trials before I decided to book with Vivian Tran Artistry. On your big day every bride wants to look extra beautiful and glamorous. It's a once in a lifetime event. I'm so glad I came across Vivian's work via Yelp. Vivian was so wonderful to work with. I initially booked her for May but had to postpone until September 2020. She was still able to accommodate my bridal party of 6 into her busy wedding schedule. I sent an inquiry on her business page and she responded promptly. On my wedding day, Vivian and her team arrived bright and early at 5:00am to our bridal suite to get us ready by 8:00am. I really like her upbeat personality. It may be tedious to get your hair/makeup done for 3 hours. But, she made it a breeze with our fun conversations. Vivian spent the whole time with me while her two assistants worked on my bridesmaids and MOB. I wanted a soft glam look that enhanced my features rather than having heavy makeup. She perfected exactly kwhat I had envisioned. I loved the sultry eye makeup with neutral tones and gold. I wanted a flowy half up do with beach waves. It turned out so pretty with my Swarvoski hair vine weaved in. I definitely recommend Vivian for bridal makeup or any special occasion. My hair and makeup lasted for 14 hours and still looked flawless. Thanks so much, Vivian! You're awesome!

    This was from my trial session with Vivian Tran Artistry.

    Having been a bridesmaid multiple times over the years, I've come to know the importance of having a great HMU team on the big day. I also had a full Pinterest board of inspo photos, so safe to say that I had a very specific look in mind. I booked a trial with Vivian for both my fiance and me to coincide with our engagement photoshoot in September 2019. My trial with Vivian was about 3 hours and we definitely bonded during that time, which made the time fly by very quickly. I was stunned by the result - I've never felt/looked more beautiful in my life! My fiance was also very happy with his grooming session trial. My hair/makeup held for the 1-2 hour engagement photo session at the beach, which was no small feat considering that there ended up being fairly strong winds for the second half of the engagement photo shoot and my hair was loose and in curls. We, like so many others, had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. We were so grateful that Vivian was so understanding and let us postpone without any additional fees. On the day of the wedding, Vivian and her team arrived promptly and quickly got to work on all 10 of us (7 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 1 bride). Vivian worked solely on me and my fiance and her team members worked on everyone else. All my bridesmaids and moms were very happy with their hair and makeup and most importantly, we were done pretty much on schedule. They even took the time to explain the makeup tool cleaning and hygiene process to my mom and sister, who were more COVID conscious and had never gotten their hair and makeup done before. In addition to great work and professionalism, Vivian was my hype woman on the day of! She whipped out her portable speaker when the one I brought wasn't working and rocked out to my jams with me. I showed Vivian my Pinterest board and she crushed it! Vivian is very detailed with her work and wasn't satisfied until she got it perfect. I was so happy with my look and got so many compliments throughout the day. Even my mother (being a critical Asian mom) approved! Vivian made my fiance's grooming look very natural and he loved the hair products she used so much that he ordered them after the wedding. Vivian even fixed up my mom's hair and she loved it - she said it made her look 10 years younger. My hair and makeup held all through the entire day (it was in the upper 80s all day on our wedding) and Vivian also provided a touch up kit for me to use. I can't recommend Vivian enough! She is the best.

    So I found Vivian through Instagram and quickly fell in love with her work. I booked her in the beginning of January 2020 for my august 2020 wedding for myself and 7 bridesmaids. As we know, covid happened and the wedding had to be postponed so I needed to figure out if I could get a refund for my hefty deposit. Initially contacting her was difficult as I would not receive any response for long periods of time. Sadly, I was ready to take another loss for wedding deposit. As time progressed and things started to somewhat reopen in 2021 I decided on a new wedding date and Vivian was able to do my hair/makeup for my engagement pictures and my wedding day. During the engagement glam (which I used as a wedding day makeup trial) she gave me tips on how to hydrate my skin as she is very passionate about skincare. I really appreciated that! Vivian has this energy that makes me feel very comfortable and in good hands. My favorite thing about her work is how she does the "Hollywood waves". Absolute magic and literally lasts all day and night...and then some! Her rates match her work. I know they are steep, but I knew I wanted to splurge to look my best on the wedding day as it is the one special event I have always looked forward to. I have had multiple guests since my wedding asking for her contact! I am happy to have found her, but also that everything worked out in the end. Thanks Vivian!

    You can tell Vivian loves her job and she is a master at her craft. I found her on Instagram and did not personally know anyone who had used her before I booked her. I trusted her by just seeing her work on IG. Her pricing was a little on the higher side but I did not do a trial so I felt I could spend a little more on my wedding day hair and makeup. It's kind of crazy that I trusted her to make me look great without doing a trial, but in the end I know I made the right decision. She made me look amazing! I received so many compliments from my friends and family and I truly looked the best I have ever looked on my wedding day! She listened to what I wanted and gave me a natural look that was beautiful. I did not want to look like a different person on my wedding day after professional makeup and she did exactly what I wanted... she made me look like the best version of myself. The way she curled my fine hair made it look like I had extensions..multiple friends told me they could have sworn I was wearing extensions. The hair and makeup lasted and looked good the entire day. And I had a long day...over 15 hrs. My advice if you want too book Vivian is to book early, a year in advance would not be unreasonable. It will be worth it! She is very busy so cannot always answer emails right away, but she answered and did everything that I asked. She allowed me to move my date after my wedding had to be postponed for COVID and did not charge me an extra fee like some of my other vendors did. I appreciated this SO much. (There were many vendors who charged more when I had to postpone my wedding because they knew I had no choice and they could forced me to pay more.) She was a very honest and a nice person to work with. I cannot thank her or recommend her enough!

    I have worked with Vivian 4 times now. She did my boudoir makeup the first time I did my boudoir shoot. The makeup came out flawless. She did exactly what I wanted. I wanted something super subtle. I at the time was not a huge makeup person. I even said light styling for my hair. It was kind of boring but is what I wanted at the time. It was a soft curl but looked great. When she was doing my makeup then I told her my man loved 60's inspired makeup and she was like I love that era! It was meant to be. So I decided to schedule a private lesson with her. I was so inept with makeup I could use all the help I could get. :) I was a fun time and I would totally recommend it! The third time I saw her was when I did another boudoir shoot and we went a little bolder this time. Way different look! I have to tell you AHHHH-MAZING!! She truly is a master at her art! The fourth time (and it won't be the last) was when I did headshots. I knew I loved how she made me look and wanted her to do my hair and makeup for it. I wanted her to be there with me so she could touch up my makeup and hair between shots and changes. And she did and much more. She made me look like a million bucks! I highly recommend Vivian to anyone. She does a great job and she is very wonderful at her makeup and hair capabilities! I am sure I will use her again in the near future but I also highly suggest you do too!

    I needed makeup done for a family session with my hubs and 3 month old baby. As we all know, moms are busy people so I needed someone close by and easy to reach. I contacted about 4 or 5 people on Yelp and only Vivian got back to me in a timely manner. Her prices are reasonable and she was able to accommodate me at an early time without extra charge. The booking was super easy and hassle free! What surprised me the most initially was her warmth. It was 6am, and I myself was still half asleep, but she was enthusiastic and fun to work with. She mentioned she had a wedding the night before so I was grateful she was willing to take me that early. Her consultation was brief and to the point. She asked all the right questions and I knew right away that she would do a great job. I asked for something more natural, described the dress I would be wearing and mentioned a few hairstyles I liked on Pinterest. The turnout was better than I could have imagined. She did a phenomenal job on my makeup! Even though I just needed photo ready makeup for a family session, this makeup was good enough for weddings or any formal occasion. Next time I need makeup assistance, I'll definitely be giving Vivian a call!

    I found Vivian through Instagram and fell inlove with her work! She made me feel so pretty on my wedding day and I got plenty of compliments on my hair and makeup! (Also made my husband cry like a baby because he said I looked so beautiful!) Working with her was a breeze and I definitely recommend her as she knows what she's doing for sure! Thank you Vivian!

    Vivian's skills are not only on point but her personality is just the cherry on top of the amazing experiences I had with her throughout my wedding planning to day of make up. First off, I contacted at least three artists and she was the first to respond in a timely matter. Her website was also so professional and made me excited to see how our interaction would play out. I contacted her and scheduled an in Home trial for my engagement pictures and we vibed right away. We love animals and she told me about her cats and I went on and on about my dog. Good times! After my engagement pictures were taken I wanted to change it up a little bit for my wedding day and asked her for her advice and opinions which she gladly assured me that it wouldn't be a problem. Fast forward a couple months later and my wedding day has arrived. I'm having a traditional vietnamese wedding which entails multiple events even before the ceremony. Vivian has been given final details and comes to my hotel at 4:30AM! The first face I see on the day of and she's all smiles. We get to work right away and some tunes get us up and moving! Hair & make up for two hours and we're ready for the camera crew! I have also add I have really long all natural hair and the curls alone were to die for! Her team also worked on two bridesmaids and both mothers while Vivian stuck with me. I thank her profusely and off they go. Lastly I see Vivian again around 5:30pm for a night look/ touch up session. I think it was def worth it especially after such a long day already! Plus the tears have definitely been streaming down my face. She meets me at the wedding venue and gets to work. Changed up my hair style and a little change up in lip color for the night and I'm good to go again for cocktail hour and the endless instant photos we take with our guests. The pictures say it all and I could not thank Vivian enough for all her hard work, time, and travel for me!

    Wow, I don't even know where to begin with this review because there truly aren't enough words to express how talented Vivian and her team are! I spent a lot of time and research trying to find the best hair and makeup team for my wedding day and I believe these photos speak for themselves that Vivian is out of this world talented. She brought my dream wedding hair and makeup to life and everyone's mind including mine were blown with how amazing it came out. I felt like a queen on my wedding day, I truly did and that's all because of Vivian. If her talent isn't enough to book her, she is so down to earth, sweet and funny. I enjoyed every moment with her during my wedding day morning! I have nothing but positive things to say about Vivian and her team and I will refer every bride to be to her!!! Forever mesmerized by my wedding photos. Thank you Vivian.

    My hair and make up was perfect, thanks again Vivian!

    I had Vivian do my wedding make up and hair for my reception and my husband said it was the best make up job he's ever seen compared to other professionals I've been with. She was very understanding of my concerns with keeping my bangs in the front for my updo as I'm insecure about my forehead (lol) and she managed to make it work. My make up and hair lasted all night and I got so many compliments from my guests. I was so sad to remove it at the end of the night because I know I'll never be able to look as pretty as she made me that night so thanks again, Vivian!!!
