I came back to her knowing I could trust her completely, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. Her makeup is natural, radiant, and long-lasting. I don't typically wear makeup, but her application felt light, breathable, and incredibly comfortable all day and all night. She takes the time to truly listen and brings your vision to life with precision and care. She's also so easy to talk to--like catching up with an old friend--which makes the entire experience even more enjoyable. Beyond her artistic skills, she has a rare ability to make you feel beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend!

Sophia was very organized, considerate, and took her time to make sure I was completely happy with her work.

I had…read moreno idea where to go for hair and makeup for myself and my daughters, so I relied on reviews, photos, pricing, location, and availability -- and Yelp did not disappoint. I made an excellent choice. Kelly's studio is adorable, and even on a Sunday she accommodated our schedule. She listened to our preferences and worked her magic with so much ease. She used airbrush makeup on me, and I was honestly impressed by how fast and flawless the whole process was. I was in and out quickly with both hair and makeup, and she did gorgeous hairstyles for my two daughters as well. I highly recommend Kelly. I have a huge family in Orange County, many in that wedding-filled season of life, so I'm sure I'll be back for her services again. Thank you, Kelly!

This review is solely for Vivian's communication (or lack thereof). A friend told me about Vivian…read moreand after reviewing her instagram, I absolutely fell in love with her work. I reached out immediately in mid-August to book her, and she was luckily available! I was ecstatic. I followed up with a question about booking and did not hear back for over a week. That's fine, I get that she's busy. When I finally heard back, I received a long list of items to fill out for a contract. After I sent my contract info, I received an email from her assistant that my info was received and that a contract would be coming soon. I was so excited! It had already been a month since I initially reached out, so I was ready to lock this down. After waiting for TWO MORE WEEKS, I am told that someone else booked my date and thus they could not proceed with my contract. WHAT?! You couldn't have told me that TWO weeks ago after claiming to have received my info?? By this point, it was already October. I was so upset - what a waste of my time! It had already been practically two months since I first contacted her. I decided to reach out again & ask if she had any recommendations for a similar style artist to her, and hoped she would give me suggestions out of good faith after completely wasting my time. It's been almost 3 weeks and no response. In those 3 weeks, I spoke to 5 different artists who responded IMMEDIATELY, and have moved forward with booking & paying, providing my vision, booking bridesmaids, and having all of my questions answered in hours by the artist I booked - a true sign of professionalism. If this is a sneak peek into how working with her will be like on the big day, then maybe it was a blessing in disguise. I'm sure she's a wonderful person but this was so rude & left a horrible taste in my mouth. Seems to be a common issue with her one star reviews too.

There are already so many glowing reviews about Vivian, and I'm thrilled to add mine to the list…read morebecause she was truly one of my favorite wedding vendors. I booked a bridal hair and makeup trial with Vivian a few months before the wedding (highly recommend!), and I was already blown away. She created a soft glam makeup look that enhanced my natural features in the most gorgeous, romantic way. For hair, I went with a whimsical half-up style, accented with different types of braids and a few soft face-framing pieces--it was exactly the enchanted garden vibe I was going for. I felt like a princess. And somehow... she outdid herself on the actual wedding day. Everything just clicked. My hair had even more texture and dimension, and the makeup was flawless--glowy but not heavy, beautifully blended, and lasted all day and night. I've never felt more confident and radiant. Beyond her artistry, Vivian is just a joy to be around. She brought such a calming and uplifting energy to our bridal suite. She made the whole experience feel personal, fun, and warm--cheering us on like our unofficial hype woman while we practiced a surprise bridal group dance. I honestly felt like I had a talented friend by my side. Yes, Vivian may be a bit pricier than some, but she is absolutely worth it. If you want to feel your best, look your best, and have a vendor who makes the getting-ready process magical, Vivian is the one. I can't thank her enough!

We all loved our hair and makeup, and it stayed perfect throughout the entire night, even after we got off the dance floor! We received so many compliments throughout the entire night too! I really appreciate all the personalized details they put into each girl's hair and makeup, and I especially appreciate them for being so accommodating to also fix my cousin's makeup as well - she absolutely loved her look and it means so much to me that you were able to help her at the last minute.

I had my preview session in December of last year and I wanted something natural looking and she achieved that no problem. She was so fun to talk to during the two hours that it took to do the preview session that I was really excited to see her again on my wedding day. On the day of the wedding, she arrived a bit early to get set up with the additional makeup artist and she had a really nice schedule set up for us since we had multiple people that needed hair and make up done. The 3 bridesmaids and the groom were really happy with their results and as for me, I could not be happier! We went a little bit more dramatic with the eyes and did some combed out waves. Her makeup holds up so well that I could lay face down on the ground after a long photoshoot session and it did not budge. Everyone looked super glammed up! Marie and her assistant are so incredibly talented. I wish I lived in SoCal just so I could work with her again! She's great at communicating through email and text, she's super helpful with answering all my questions and concerns, and she's just such a fun person to be around. I highly recommend working with her for anyones wedding day! I miss her already.

DISCLAIMER - This is from a makeup trial in 2020 and wedding in 2021…read more It took me time to get the courage to write this review, because Crystal seems like such a sweet person. However, I don't want anyone else to have an experience similar to mine. First off, I think her makeup skills are amazing and loved her makeup work. She took into consideration my photographer's editing style and how the makeup would show up in the photos. She's also a bubbly person that was very easy to talk to. Makeup Trial in 2020: Makeup turned out great in the photos. It took me a bit to get comfortable with how it looked in person, because I wasn't used to wearing much makeup, but she talked me through everything and wanted to make sure I was comfortable. The makeup still looked great at the end of the night though too - and this is after doing an ocean-side photoshoot. The cons: - She ran 5-10 minutes behind schedule and the trial ended up taking longer than expected due to struggles with my hair; so I had to rush to make it to my engagement shoot. However, I did appreciate how Crystal still took the time to listen and try to correct things. - My hair - I wanted a half up, half down w/ curls hairstyle. In a call beforehand, I had explained to her how my hair has a difficult time keeping curls and that I usually can only get a hold with a straightener. I can't remember if she used a curling wand or a curling iron, but the curls were already falling flat during the trial. By the time of the photo shoot, my hair was lightly wavy. By the end, it got pretty flat. She did offer a discounted retrial to try another technique to see if my hair would hold better. I didn't end up doing a retrial since I had to reschedule my wedding. (Rescheduled) Wedding Day in 2021: I had booked Crystal for makeup for my wedding for myself and my mom. The days beforehand, she mentioned how she was getting vaccinated. Skip forward to the morning of my wedding. I wake up a little over 2 hours before our appointment time, and I notice a text from Crystal that was sent less than 6 hours before our appointment. She says she's so sorry, she's been having chills and nausea and that she's unsure if she can cover and she's reached out to her immediate artists. I don't hear from her again until 1.5 hours before our appointment, she confirms that none of her artists have reached back out to her yet. I'm not sure, but it seems that she became symptomatic because of the vaccination. At that time, it was known that people get side effects from vaccinations, so I thought it was unprofessional to schedule a vaccination right before a booking. It also did not help that Crystal was unable to find a replacement. It was such a stressful morning... In the end, luckily my friend found someone else available to do my makeup and my mom went to a salon.
