    Had an amazing experience with Ann who helped to have me look like myself and have a glow from within on my wedding day. My bridal party enjoyed the team Ann brought as well since they were able to look gorgeous with their own touches for each of their styles. They also were able to help do makeup for sister who had darker complexion and have make up that suited her but blended with the other bridal party members who had lighter complexions. The team was able to work quickly to make sure we were ready on time and the team made it a fun get ready that morning. I love how Ann helped to bounce ideas of all the choices I had to help me to pick the best look. I honestly felt like her makeup look was the best I ever had done before. My friends loved her so much they want her for their weddings as well!! If you have a bay area wedding I highly recommend you book with A-list makeup. Ann also works with good price points to for your budget. I did trial and Ann was definitely able to deliver.

    Jennifer Vo is Jennifer WOAH! Working with Jennifer is so great because she's a kind, caring and VERY patient person. She not only understood my wants, I was very appreciative that she was able to guide me through suggestions with her expertise and knowledge. I was already really happy how the makeup trial went, but on my big day she took it 100x steps up!!My hair and makeup was so beautiful and perfect that it really brought up the day because it really helped make me feel confident to shine on my big day. Thank you Jennifer!

    Kathleen "Kat" Tinney did my makeup last June. She did a PHENOMENAL job! I actually had other trial makeup sessions with 2 other artists from A-List Makeup and wasn't blown away by the results. Kat was the Third makeup artist that I tried and her work is second to done. absolutely amazing. She truly listened when I told her how I wanted my makeup to be and made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day.

    I found Le Tran (@loveleartistry) on Instagram and loved her work right off the bat! As someone that doesn't wear makeup on a regular basis at all, I was really putting a lot of trust in my HMUA. From her portfolio, I could tell she had a lot of experience working with asian eyes (monolid)/hair (heavy/straight), both of which I've had issues with previous artists in the past. Le was incredibly on top of her communication and quick to respond to my questions. She was very professional and even organized a slidedeck of inspiration photos for each of my bridal party members. We scheduled my trial the week before my wedding and we were able to figure what I liked and didn't like. She was very receptive to feedback and made adjustments on the spot to make sure I was happy with the overall outcome. On the day of, Le and her assistant (Nancy, @phacesbypham) arrived to our hotel room 30 minutes early to set up and even brought additional lighting. They were able to get through the bridal, bridesmaids, and mothers HMUA as promised in their schedule. We actually even finished earlier than expected. Everyone was so happy with their looks and all of us got many compliments! Le and Nancy also gave us little touch up bags so we could continue to look our best throughout the night (including lipstick, which was a lifesaver). I would highly recommend Le to all my asian and non-asian girlies out there! High quality, professional, reasonably priced, and super sweet/fun to talk to!

    Mother of Bride Makeup

    I loved how my makeup turned out! My makeup artist was Jennifer Vo and she did an amazing job. I especially loved the lip color she chose for me and how radiant my skin looked. She even helped me find a pair of eyelashes that are lightweight and comfortable to wear since I don't typically wear fake lashes. Despite all the eating and dancing I did, my hair and makeup lasted the entire night. Her team is great as well. My bridal party loved working with her assistants. They paid attention to everyone's requests and preferences. My bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law were comfortable the entire time and everyone loved the end results.

    Really enjoyed working with Jennifer for my wedding day makeup and hair! She is a really great choice for brides looking for a more natural look. Jennifer is very communicative, professional, and pays attention to little details that make a big difference in the overall look. She's also very friendly, and I really love her personality in addition to her professional talent. Would highly recommend!

    Trial hair for Engagement shoot - Jennifer Vo
    Thuy N.

    I had the pleasure of getting my wedding hair and makeup done by Jennifer Vo. From the trial to the big day, Jennifer was nothing less than amazing to work with. I got to do different looks during the trial, and even afterwards Jennifer checked in to see how my skin responded. She offered me a second free trial to find the right products for my skin, and on my wedding day it all looked perfect. Jennifer was super accommodating and flexible with my needs and requests. My hair and makeup held up so well, from 8 AM to 2 AM the next day! She made me look and feel like an absolute bride. I recommend Jen if you're looking to book with A-list, and I'd definitely work with her again the next time I want to be glammed up.

    makeup for the wedding day!

    I had Jennifer as my hair and makeup artist for both my engagement photoshoot and my wedding day. Both times she delivered amazing results! Full disclosure, I am not someonew who knows anything about makeup and hair, so I had my bridesmaids give me feedback. She was super patient and very flexible with the timing because I ended up having to add more people last minute days before the wedding. The hairstyle and makeup I had for the wedding stayed the whole day, even in intense winds and heat, and even my wild dancing at the reception. I got so many compliments on my makeup and hair all night! She's also super sweet and sociable. Cannot be happier!

    Jennifer Vo and her team are wonderful! I did bride trial and day-of hair & makeup with her. I don't usually wear makeup and was worried about the eye makeup looking too heavy with hooded eyelids. Jennifer was super sweet and took the extra time and effort to create a natural glam look that lasted all night. Bridesmaids' and mom's hair and makeup turned out beautiful too.

    Half up braid by Cherie Vo
    Jen T.

    This review is for Cherie Vo and Dan Tam Truong: I have to go with my girl, Cherie, first. Since I'm trying to coordinate everything from out of town, I didn't have time to do any trials - both engagement and wedding. In fact, Cherie and I planned everything via email, corresponding about my hair and makeup inspirations. Looking at Cherie's work on Instagram, I had a gut feeling that she would do a fantastic job for my engagement shoot. Needless to say, she made my hair and makeup look phenomenal. It was her first time meeting me, and she was able to flawlessly cover all my blemishes, and accentuate my features. Cherie also nailed the hair half-up look with natural-looking makeup!!! The engagement photos turned out amazing. On to my wedding day, Cherie was able to style the glamour waves (that I requested) on my shorter hair length. I have to say this was a difficult task because I really needed longer hair for the waves, but she made it happen! I was glowing in all the wedding photos. Most importantly, my hair and makeup lasted through the hustle and bustle of the wedding ceremony and reception. Cherie is such a hardworking individual. She's great as what she does! Our conversations flow easily as if I've known her for years. She also brings this relaxing vibe around those stressful moments. I highly recommend Cherie Vo to be part of your special day. I wanted to also give Dan Tam Truong a huge shoutout! She was the assistant artist for my bridesmaids. I was so impressed with her speed. It's one thing to get the job done, but she gets it done efficiently and perfectly. She was able to do the makeup for all three of my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride & groom without breaking a sweat. I also love that she speaks fluent Vietnamese, and was able to persuade both mothers to rock the false lashes. Thank you for beautifying everyone!!! We had a great time. I would trust both Cherie and Dan Tam with your hair and makeup. Until next time, ladies!!!

    First make up and hair trial
    MinhAn N.

    This review is for Jennifer Vo. I have very dry skin, and it was not easy for Jennifer to work with me. I also don't do makeup; therefore, I couldn't give her any context regarding what works well or not for my skin. I went in for a trial, and she spent a lot of time ensuring I was happy with my makeup and hairstyle for the wedding. I asked for very light makeup, and she recommended slightly darker for photography. Everything was great once we wrapped up the trial, but then afterward, the makeup became rather flaky. This was when I learned that I have very dry skin. I contacted Jennifer immediately, and she quickly proposed that we do another trial for free to ensure I would look good for the big day. She came by my place not once but twice to test the different foundations, and we learned that air spray was the best for my skin. I am thankful that Jennifer did not give up on my skin and tried many methods to resolve the problem. She was also great with the hairstyle and gave me two options to try out, that part was pretty easy compared to my dry skin situation. I would highly recommend Jennifer to any future bride-to-be. She is very caring as a makeup artist, and I appreciate her dedication to this job in making sure that we are beautiful on the special day.

    I was looking for someone to do my make up and hair pretty last minute (like 2 weeks before my actual tea ceremony date), and luckily I was connected to Jennifer Vo at A-List Makeup. Jennifer was sooo welcoming, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. I am someone who does not wear makeup up at all. During my make up trial with her, I suggested a few modifications for my true tea ceremony day and she did not disappoint. She was able to do a very natural but put together make up look for my special day and I couldn't be more happy with my make up. Highly highly recommend Jennifer!!!

    Bridal hair & makeup by DamTam Truong
    Angelica L.

    I booked 3 HMUAs through A-List for me (AKA the bride), 2 bridesmaids, 1 MOH, 1 best woman, & 2 moms. They were all easy to communicate with, friendly, professional, & really love what they do. DamTam Truong: I chose her to do my bridal hair and make-up after our trial. I emailed her with all the details I was looking for which she referenced during the trial. She listened to my concerns & feedback and gave me great advice on how to prep for the wedding day. I was debating between an updo and a half up/half down style; she was nice enough to let me come back to try the 2nd style for free since I had limited time during my first appointment. Make sure to allot 2.5-3 hours for your trial ladies. On th day of, she took all my comments via email + the trial and was able to transform me into exactly what I was looking for!!! I received so many praises that day thanks to her amazing talent DamTam is also a very calm and nice person to work with. She even helped me book MyHanh to do my girls' hair & makeup. I cannot recommend her enough! MyHanh: She did 4 girls' hair and makeup in 4 hours which was very impressive. They didn't have any particular style in mind so MyHanh just did what she thought would look good on them and they all looked beautiful Nancee Pham: She did my two moms' makeup. They turned out nice as well but you can tell she isn't as experienced as the other 2 HMUA.

Walking in, my hair had uneven tones, visible warmth/brassiness, grown-out color, and dryness through the mid-lengths and ends. Vy took the time to thoroughly assess my hair, listen to my goals, and explain the process step by step--something I genuinely appreciated. Her attention to detail and knowledge instantly made me feel confident I was in the best hands. The result? Absolutely flawless. Vy transformed my hair into a beautifully blended, cool-toned, dimensional finish that looks healthy, sleek, and incredibly polished. The color is seamless from root to ends, with no harsh lines, no patchiness, and the perfect balance of cool and natural tones. My hair feels softer, smoother, and looks healthier than it has in a long time. What truly sets Vy apart is her precision, patience, and artistry. She doesn't rush--she perfects. This wasn't just a hair appointment; it was a true transformation. If you're looking for someone who is talented, professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely cares about the health and outcome of your hair, Vy is THAT stylist. I'm beyond happy with my results and will 100% be coming back. Highly, highly recommend ‍

They don't use the most fancy hair products or hair tools but it's a solid choice for a trim every quarter. I got an appointment slot of my choice when I booked 2 days in advance with my choice of hairdresser so it's convenient as I don't need to plan way in advance. I was happy with the attention to detail from Holly and with the length of hair she trimmed. She is very thorough at her job. The only thing I have to point out to them which I have noticed at every visit is to request them to apply heat protectant before they use the hair dryer. I wish they kept that in mind on their own. This is irrespective of the hair dresser at this salon. I think their prices are quite fair for the services they deliver. I will continue to visit them for my hair trims in future as well. It's a reliable hair salon in Milpitas.
