I'm not used to wearing heavy makeup, and she found the perfect balance in making me feel done up, while also feeling comfortable/like myself. She is punctual, and a relaxing presence to be around while getting ready for what can be a stressful day. I'm Indian and initially incorrectly thought I needed a South Asian HMUA, but Chau did a fantastic job with both makeup and my hair, placing the tikka, and securing jasmine flowers to my hair. Highly recommend Chau!

I originally had her assistant at one of the weddings and felt my makeup was decent but not the way I would like for our wedding. I went to another artist for a trial but felt like she wasn't able to execute what I was asking for. In reality, I shouldn't have gone on a search, I came back to Chau and her attentiveness and consideration was worth it! She knows what she is doing and I could trust her the entire process. My makeup was prefect! She covered all the areas I requested and prepped the makeup in case of tears. My hair was beautiful and she knew what to do to accentuate the accessories I had. Her assistants are skilled but may be off the mark sometimes. My bridesmaid's foundation was a few shades too light as she has a darker complexion. She didn't notice until after everything was already on and didn't want the artist to redo all her work. It was still decent but something to keep in mind. Don't look any further for a makeup artist as she is worth the price!

I came prepared with inspiration pictures as well as my own pictures with the most makeup on, and she immediately understood the look I was going for. She curled my hair and elevated the style in a way that looked polished and romantic. I absolutely loved it. For makeup, Chau was so reassuring. She made me feel confident by enhancing my natural features instead of overdoing it. She really listened to my preferences and offered guidance when I wasn't sure. The result was soft, timeless, and perfect for photos. She also gave me great advice for touch-ups to make sure I stayed photo-ready throughout the day. Beyond her skill, Chau has such a warm and calming presence. She made the whole process stress-free, which was exactly what I needed before my engagement session. I left her chair feeling confident, beautiful, and excited for my session. If you're looking for someone who not only delivers gorgeous hair and makeup but also makes you feel comfortable and cared for, I highly recommend Chau Nguyen!

I learned a lot about myself as she pushed my comfort zone but was gentle in her approach to help me prepare for my final look on my wedding day.

I would give more than 5 stars if I could!…read more Miranda did my makeup as well as my sisters (maids of honor) makeup on the day of the wedding. My sisters and I wear very little makeup on a daily basis and know very little about makeup in general. Miranda was very patient with me during my make up trial as it was the first time I've ever had my makeup done. She was also extremely patient with my sisters on the wedding day as it was also their first time and we had a lot of questions. She was very friendly and kind and it was a pleasure talking to her while getting ready. She is very gentle with the makeup and easy to trust. She made me feel so incredibly beautiful without making me feel unnatural. She takes the time to listen to how you would like your makeup done and is very adaptable. For example, I have very oily skin and she adapted which make up she used to make sure I wouldn't be shiny throughout my big day. The entire day, I didn't have one worry about my makeup and I received so many compliments on it. I would highly recommend anyone to Miranda for makeup! She is very sweet, talented, and kind.

The curls stayed all throughout the day and the only touch ups I needed to do were if any baby hair were sticking out. We all appreciate the small hair cream and bobby pins that were given to us, if needed for extra touch up. I think what amazed me though was the bride's hair. My friend had initially wanted a half do like all of the bridesmaids did, but to stand out as a bride, Miranda gave a new suggestion to her and I think it was a good choice for her to go with Miranda's recommendation of hair style. My friend looked gorgeous on her wedding day.

Hannah and her team were amazing! They came early to prep my hair and start on my Bridal party…read more Hannah was very professional and paid attention to what looked good on me. She knew I didn't sleep the night of the wedding so after she prepped my hair she made me go take a nap while she worked on the other girls. She was very organize and made a timeline for each girl before the day came since I had a Large group of 7 girls getting their hair & makeup done. Their pricing was reasonable and Everyone looked Gorgeous! My family and guest loved the way she did my make up! Most people complain that you might look too caked on or older. But Hannah made me look young and like I got some extra Hours of sleep!! It looked flawless in the pictures!! She even does make up for the Miss Vietnam competition! Thank you for helping me on my Big day!! You are amazing!! I will def recommend Elegant make up to all my friends for the special day!!

My bridal party is mixed ethnicity, all with different hair textures and desired hair styles, but Hannah and her team did a wonderful job! I really appreciated that the makeup artist was flexible and considerate when doing the makeup of my mom and mother-in-law; neither wear much makeup and were worried about heavy makeup or makeup that doesn't suit their style and age. But they both received a natural look they were happy with. Also, my hair, veil and pin were flawlessly in place all night! We finished my hair around 2pm and from then until 11pm I needed it to stay up and under control. I had half my hair up and half of it down, swept to the side. Hannah sent an itinerary ahead of time so I and my bridesmaids would know what to expect. Her team is efficient and helpful - we asked for help putting on false eyelashes and borrowed a couple powder products when we found we were a few products short. I would definitely book the Elegant MakeUp team again, and highly recommend them! Affordability, service, communication, style, professionalism, skill are all on point!

I am a professional makeup artist contracted by this company, and I can tell you these folks…read moregenuinely have been abysmal to deal with from an employee standpoint and I'm not sure what that says about them as a company, but I would NOT trust your credit card number with them. They pay us via their own online payroll system and we have to login to to transfer our funds to a bank account or Paypal. After working a few jobs with them, my account was hacked and someone was able to login, add a new transfer method and transfer my wages to their account within 4 minutes of my being notified of a "new login". I saw it immediately as I was on my computer when it happened, and changed the password, but it was too late. They had transferred funds to a Paypal account that was named with my last name, so it's obvious that there was some kind of data breach in their system that allowed for someone to strategize this and did this either to track their transfers or simply to fly under the radar and not be noticed. I didn't share my password or login with anyone, nor did I have any other login attempts or hacks on any other account so it's obviously stemmed from wherever this data is being stored. This also obviously was someone that knew their system well enough to be able to do this so quickly in spite of their website backend being a little strange to navigate. After completely ignoring multiple emails, their controller finally responded. I was shocked at the lack of seriousness in the company's response. I could not imagine why any company would not take seriously that their data is so not secure, that their employees wages are straight up getting stolen. Who runs their company that way? When I finally did get a response, the controller was not only NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT apologetic or empathetic for ACTUAL WAGES from hours of SKILLED WORK getting stolen from THEIR lack of security in THEIR unfortunate excuse for a payroll system, but when asked what the company was willing to do to rectify or assure me that I was safe to continue working and this would not happen again, she simply responded by denying that this has ever happened before and saying there was nothing she could do. I was floored. Any company that handles their employees and their online security this way has no ethics (at best) and can absolutely not be trusted, especially with your data and credit card info.

The theme was the 1920s and costume for that era was required, so I requested hair and makeup for that era as well. My stylist, Rose Hill, did an amazing job!

We had a wonderful conversation the entire time and had so much fun. This was my first time using beGlammed. It was so easy to book and very convenient. I think it's a great service because the stylist came to my house and everything was done in the comfort of my home. The price was very reasonable, too. I plan to use them again in the future.
