    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!

    LOVE

    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!

    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!

    Loved my make-up

    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.

Jessica did an amazing job on her hair and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. She was friendly, fun to talk to, and made conversation feel easy and natural, which helped create such a relaxed atmosphere. She really listened to what was wanted and paid attention to every detail. The braided style blended perfectly into the curls and ponytail, and the final look was beautiful, elegant, and photographed so well. She left there with a big smile and said she felt so pretty! Her makeup turned out gorgeous, unfortunately I do not remember the lady's name, but she was terrific. My son's gf had picked out a look she wanted, the makeup artist did mention that the look would be dark and they could start light and go darker if needed. She was absolutely amazing with makeup and truly a wizard with the brushes. Her blending skills were incredible, and she really knew how to enhance features without making the makeup feel heavy or overdone. The final look was soft and natural, while still giving that glamorous polished finish perfect for a special event. She created such a beautiful balance between elegant and effortless. Everything stayed comfortable and secure throughout the event. The makeup lasted and did not smudge or smear off. I would absolutely recommend Jessica and the makeup artist to anyone looking for hair styling services and makeup for an event. We would definitely come back to here again!

I've been dealing with thinning hair from stress and early pre-menopause, and it's really taken a toll on my hair and confidence. I was curious but also a little nervous going in... and then I felt nothing. Zero pain. It literally felt like a gentle scalp massage with light vibration--so relaxing that it felt more like self-care than a treatment. The process was fast, easy, and I went right on with my day like nothing happened. No downtime at all. This is new hair technology, completely non-invasive, and such an easy yes compared to anything surgical or scary. Rosey recommends a series of 3 treatments, with an annual maintenance treatment for optimal results, which feels totally doable--especially since it's painless. I loved it so much that my husband had the treatment done too. I'm really excited to see my results and can't wait to come back and update this review once my hair starts growing in. If this works the way the research says it does, I honestly don't know why anyone would ever choose hair transplants again. Rosey is incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely cares, and is always ahead of the game. Highly 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.
