Susan Kim is the only choice for SD clients.
Juji W.

In 8 months I had an engagement party, a wedding photoshoot and 3 wedding ceremonies. So I did a total of 7 makeup sessions which included 2 makeup trials : 3 makeup artist from SD(Susan, Kristin, Savannah); 1 in OC (Travis Vu-great but very expensive); and 1 in San Jose (Yavivi-great India makeup- reasonable price). Susan Kim is the only choice for SD makeup. She's professional, reasonable prices, quality skills and a perfectionist. Rare Birds Bride -Kristin used powder that showed when the camera flashed, bad attitude and cost more. Toast to Beauty-Savannah Allen was ok, she's very nice and prices are good, but her skill level is not as good as Susan Kim.

I LOVE Susan! She did such an amazing job for my wedding. Susan was punctual, patient and extremely professional. She made all of my bridesmaids feel comfortable and all of our makeup turned out perfect. We all felt beautiful and the makeup also lasted from 6am till 3am! I am definitely recommending her to all of my girlfriends.

I contracted Susan's services for my wedding. Her portfolio displays a variety of quality work and her price was reasonable. After the trial, I was extremely happy and looked forward to the "real" day. I emailed her a few very minimal tweaks that I wanted, but it was the look I wanted and absolutely loved- the eye make up was perfect. Susan is very nice. She was attentive to what I was looking for and to my needs. Her communication was good. On the day of, her usual hair assistant could not make it. Crystal did the hair instead. I did not have a positive experience with Crystal, but I did have a positive experience with Susan. Everything went off to a good start until it started getting closer to the time they thought they were going to leave at. The mood changed in the room. My hair and makeup did not match the trial. Crystal seemed offended that I did not like how my hair turned out. Susan stayed longer to fix it, and I was/am happy with how it turned out, but going over the photos, you can see the part under the clip ended up being very different. None of Crystal's actions were Susan's fault (Susan ended up telling her to go). I don't think Crystal should be a back up. The make-up on my bridal party (the moms and four bridesmaids) was flawless! Susan is five stars, I would hire her all over again.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I found Susan through another makeup artist's recommendation and I'm so glad Susan was able to do my hair and makeup for my wedding(s). We had a small church wedding and a wedding ceremony on a cruise ship prior to going on a 7 day cruise. Susan was very accommodating and friendly. I had a makeup trial with her first and from the moment I met her I felt very comfortable. She always asked my opinion about how I wanted to look and on the wedding day(s) she remembered what I requested. I would totally recommend her for your event! She's so down to earth and I was so happy with the way my hair and makeup turned out. THANK YOU SO MUCH SUSAN!!

I recently had my brows corrected/touched up on 10/28/18 by the lovely Mrs. Susan Kim @ Brazilia Skin Care in Del Mar, CA. She was super friendly, patient & very professional during the entire process. She's also down to earth and makes you feel really comfortable before, during and after your procedure. I'm so happy I didn't have to wait more than a couple of days to book an appt with her too. Long story short, she knows her stuff, she's extremely talented and she has an amazing eye for detail...her work is impeccable! I finally have the brows I've always wanted and I will definitely recommend everyone I know to go check her out!

Susan did an amazing job on my makeup and hair for prom!! She came in at 10:40am and left almost 1pm. She has a really gentle touch and is extremely meticulous (color correcting, making sure the many individual false lashes were perfectly aligned, actively listening to my suggestions as she worked, etc). I explained to her that my hair doesn't stay curled easily, so she curled very small sections of hair and then bobby pinned them up so I could take them out just before prom began. She's also a lovely person- we had easy conversation going as she was working. I returned from a prom after party at 5am so my makeup was still holding strong virtually 18 hours in. Really appreciate her conscientious work!

Susan was awesome! With my limited knowledge of makeup, she knew all the right questions to ask and my hair and makeup turned out just how I wanted for my wedding day. Thanks Susan!

Loved my make-up
Jennifer C.

Susan was recommended to me by a co-worker and she is fabulous! I live in LA and had my wedding in Oahu. I was super nervous about not having a trial until the day before my wedding, but she did a really good job on me and my bridesmaids!!! Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

She is seriously the best person to have your make up done for any occasion! She did an amazing job the very first time I got glammed up by her, and she made it happen again! Shes super friendly and really easy to talk to. I love having her do my make up, she REALLY knows how to do it super well. Im forever going to continue to get my make up done by her, even for my wedding!

Thank you for your amazing work! Highly recommend. Hope to work with you again I the future

So I don't know what magic Amber does but she took my hair from a washed out neon pink to the most…read moregorgeous natural blonde I've ever seen. Not only was it gorgeous when I walked out of the salon, it has grown out beautifully since. Highly recommend Amber for corrective color and blonde! My goal was to grow out my short bob, and she gave me that without having to come in every 6 weeks for maintenance. I will be going back to Amber when I'm ready for another hair service. Pricing is about what you would expect for a higher end experience with corrective color. Salon itself is clean and i love the vintage dressers at the stations. So freaking cute! The owner is super responsive and was the one who recommended I see Amber, so huge thanks for that! Highly recommend overall.

This review is for Brooke Congalves:…read more I'm new to the area and had been searching for a new hairstylist, which can honestly be nerve-racking when you've been searching from someone you can trust with your hair for years. I don't have access to social media, so I ended up finding Brooke through Yelp and I am SO happy I did! I reached out to her by text and she responded almost immediately. Before my appointment, I sent her a photo of my current hair along with a few inspiration pictures of what I was hoping to achieve. Right from the beginning, communication was easy and I felt like she understood what I was looking for. The salon itself is adorable clean, welcoming, and has a really cute modern feel. When I met Brooke, she took the time to actually look at my hair and talk with me about my goals. One of the most important things to me is keeping my hair healthy because I'm trying to grow it long which has taken some time. She was very upfront that getting exactly where I ultimately want to be would be a process, and I REALLY appreciated that instead of trying to do too much in one appointment. She respected the integrity and health of my hair while still getting me incredibly close to my inspiration photos. Brooke was also just genuinely nice and easy to talk to. The entire appointment was comfortable, relax and I was in and out in about three hours, which was another huge plus. She's also only about a 15-minute drive from my house, so finding someone this close who I actually trust with my hair feels like hitting the jackpot! Her pricing was very affordable, but to be completely honest, the quality of her work was beyond! If you're looking for someone who listens to what you want, is realistic about the process, cares about maintaining the health and integrity of your hair, and can actually deliver what you show her in an inspiration photo, go see Brooke. So happy I found MY new stylist. 10/10. Absolutely recommend!

Britney did such a good job styling my daughter's hair that she walked out excited to show all her friends and family ! The glitter on her hair was the cherry on top it made her feel beautiful ! We will definitely be back for her back to school haircut ‍

I went to this salon based on a recommendation and booked with Ashley P. Unfortunately, I left…read moreextremely disappointed with both the result and how the situation was handled. My service was fairly straightforward: an all-over brown color with a red/copper undertone and a trim. I specifically explained that I wanted a copper undertone rather than a purple-toned red. There were no highlights or foils. After the first color application and wash, Ashley apparently noticed an issue before I had even seen my hair and began correcting it. Once she dried a section, I was finally able to see the color myself, and my roots were noticeably bright/glowing red. She mentioned that the salon lighting was making it appear worse and took me outside to look at it. For context, my appointment started on time at 2:30 PM, and it was after 5:30 PM before I was able to see the color for the first time. At that point, I had already been there for three hours for an all-over color and trim and needed to get home to my kids. Ashley offered to continue color correcting it, but because of the time, we agreed she would adjust the roots and I would leave with wet hair. I went back to the bowl for another application, my hair was washed and towel dried, and I paid and left. Once I got home and dried my hair, my roots were still very bright red. The photos attached to this review were taken after I got home. What made the experience especially frustrating was the $400 total: $275 for the all-over color and $125 for the trim. I messaged Ashley afterward to explain that I was unhappy with the result and asked whether any of the additional attempts to correct the color had been included in what I was charged. She explained the pricing and offered for me to return so she could attempt another color correction free of charge. I was also told there would be no full or partial refund. At that point, I declined. After spending $275 specifically on an all-over color, sitting in the salon for more than three hours, and already having multiple attempts made to correct it, I prefer to return to the stylist that I know will get it right and save myself the time and further disappointment. I understand that hair color doesn't always turn out perfectly on the first application. I've had that happen at my usual salon. The difference, for me, is how it's handled afterward. In those instances, the issue was corrected quickly and successfully. I don't expect perfection every time, but at this price point, I do expect the finished result to reasonably resemble what was discussed--or for there to be a meaningful resolution when it doesn't. A few additional observations about the salon itself: it was extremely loud, to the point that having a conversation with my stylist was difficult. While I was there, another stylist had food delivered and appeared visibly irritated with the delivery driver because utensils weren't included, walking away shaking her head. I found that interaction uncomfortable and unprofessional to witness. My back also became soaked while I was at the shampoo bowl, and Ashley mentioned that this happens frequently because of the chairs they have. I do want to give credit where it's due: the salon was kept clean, and I repeatedly saw stylists cleaning not only their own stations but helping clean one another's as well. There seemed to be good teamwork in that regard. Unfortunately, cleanliness doesn't outweigh leaving after more than three hours, paying $400 for an all-over color and trim, and still having to go elsewhere to have the color corrected. I won't be returning and will be going back to my stylist at another salon. Lesson learned.

The conversation was great and the salon was super clean and very relaxing. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I was hoping for a positive experience at Salon MK with Giselle Q, but I left very disappointed…read more The photos clearly speak for themselves but here's what happened-- When I first reached out to Salon MK in June, I was connected with Giselle and specifically requested a light brown, neutral balayage. We booked a balayage ($280) and a haircut ($85). I sent photos of my hair and several reference photos. During the appointment, she explained that balayage is essentially highlights, which made me a bit nervous, as I understand it to be more of a blended, ombré-style look. Still, I trusted her professional judgment. Unfortunately, the final result looked nothing like my reference photos..... The highlights leaned much more yellow and brown rather than the neutral tones I had requested, and they were also uneven, with some highlight sections noticeably thicker than others. The haircut itself was uneven, and the top layers were longer than the bottom section. She offered to fix it, which I appreciated, but by that point I already felt uneasy. I decided to give her a second chance since she was willing to fix the uneven haircut, so I went back in October for an all-over color before an important work event. I was very clear and specific about what I wanted and provided several reference photos beforehand- a dark, natural brown with subtle purple/reddish undertones. I explicitly asked to avoid black, copper, blonde, vivid red or purple tones, and NO highlights. We discussed this thoroughly, and I even said that if there was any hesitation, I'd prefer to play it safe with a darker brown balayage instead. Giselle reassured me she could achieve the color....... Unfortunately, the result was again nothing close to what I requested. My hair turned out coppery brown/red and still showed highlights, which I had specifically asked to avoid. I felt embarrassed going to my event with it. When I reached out the next day with photos, I was told that the custom conditioner I purchased should temporarily fix the issue. This was frustrating, as a conditioner with very minimal pigmentation shouldn't be relied on to correct a $165 color service, especially after I left a 20+% tip out of kindness. Overall, the results did not align at all with what we discussed or the reference photos I provided. My concerns weren't resolved, and I ultimately had to attempt to fix my hair myself before the event. Everyone's experience is different, but I wanted to share mine so others can make the decision that feels right for them and choose a stylist they feel 1000% confident with.
