    Claudia finishing up my hair
    Vivian H.

    Claudia did my hair, my mom and mother in law's hair for my wedding back in June. She did an amazing job, I loved my hair it was exactly how I envisioned it for my big day. Our hair lasted all through out the very hot day. Even though I didn't have a a hair trial she did amazing. She was very nice and friendly, I would highly recommend her!

    I had a wonderful experience working with Claudia, Alma, and Deisy! They were always professional, easy to work with, timely, and patient with my crazy bridal schedule. And of course the results were perfect! I was nervous and changed my mind regarding some styling details right up to the last minute and they were patient and guided me through the decision making process. They also did amazing work on my bridal party. I would 100% recommend.

    I'm a photographer in the Los Angeles & Orange County areas and was looking to partner up with a makeup artist for a Maternity Shoot I was doing. I found Claudia on Facebook and after chatting we agreed to collaborate. She was very easy going throughout the process, asked great questions and needed very little guidance to understand the makeup I was going for during my shoot. Fast forward to the day of the shoot and she arrives at the studio BEFORE ME! Usually I'm early and this would be hard to do but I was very impressed with her punctuality (that's big for me). The call time was 9am and when I finished with the studio staff and walked into our staging area she was already working on my client! She was dressed professionally and had everything she needed laid out the girl was on fire! Not to mention the final product was so beautiful. She did exactly what I asked and gave my girls a soft glam with "glow from within skin" and she did it in record time. The makeup photographed so well and my clients were very happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend working with Claudia for Bridal, Maternity, family...really any occasion. I look forward to collaborating with her again and recommending her to my clients.

    Fresh hair and makeup!

    I had such an amazing experience with Claudia and her hair partner. They did a fantastic job on my bridal group's hair and makeup! My makeup lasted the entire 15 hours and our hair stayed through the entire day as well! I highly recommend this group. They were so sweet, punctual, and talented!

    A lot of the time when I get my makeup professionally done I feel overly done-up and not like myself. Not with Claudia! She did such an amazing job, I still felt like myself and the makeup lasted all day!

    Isn't she beau-ti-ful isn't she love-ly! You can tell by the look in my eyes that i was ready for the honeymoon!

    A bride's bestfriend! If u want a happy beautiful bride for your wedding day then Claudia Pinto is the make up artist your looking for. Very professional and punctual and a great sense of color combinations and blending technique. I don't know how can u make something already beautiful more beautiful but u did it! My beautiful wife looked stunning and so glamorous. I would definitely recommend you have Claudia Pinto as your makeup artist for your special day.

    Bridal hair and makeup

    I found Claudia maybe a month before my "third times the charm" attempt at a Covid wedding in October 2021. She was amazing to work with and her prices were so reasonable compared to some other travel bridal/bridal party makeup services in Los Angeles that I got quotes from. I had seven bridesmaids that needed hair and makeup plus my mother-in-law... 9 people to get their hair and makeup done in about 4-5 hours was not an easy feat and most artists I reached out to said they either couldn't do that many people or it would be 5-6x my budget. Claudia was so professional and so calm and listened to what I wanted... even though I barely knew what I wanted at times. She was so patient and during my trial let me ask questions and try things that I was thinking of doing even though I ended up going a different direction for the day of. I am so grateful for her and her team because she really set the tone for a peaceful and calm morning before the big day.

    I am not a big fan of wearing makeup on the daily. But when it came down to my wedding, I wanted to look like a goddess. Claudia achieved just that while understanding that I wanted to be comfortable. My makeup lasted all day and only did touchups on my lips. It made me feel comfortable while looking gorgeous!

    Wedding

    When it came down to my wedding day I wanted to look beautiful since it's a day we all dream off. Claudia achieve the look I had in mind and wanted. She listen to what I like and she made it happen. My makeup lasted all day with no retouch. She did a fantastic job, She made me look and feel beautiful. Will definitely recommend her.

I was…read morelucky to work with Olivia from the studio, who helped me during my trial session and during my wedding day. She was communicative throughout both processes, always checking in to make sure that I was happy with the results. She also gave me great make up and skincare tips during my trial to help me feel my best during the wedding day. Grace's team's aesthetic is focused on a soft glam look, which made my bridal party and me feel like a done up version of ourselves. The looks also held up well despite having our wedding be on a hot June day in SoCal. Would absolutely go back to Grace's team for future makeup needs!

I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!

It looked amazing from every angle in photos (which never happens when I do my own makeup!), and I really appreciated how she took the time to understand my face shape and skin tone to create a look that worked for me, not just a direct copy of the inspo pics I shared. She also did an amazing job on my mom, mother-in-law, and sister, effortlessly tailoring each look to their vibe -- even for my MIL, who doesn't often wear makeup, she made her feel very comfortable. Michele did all of our hair and worked seamlessly with everyone's different lengths -- from short bobs to extra-long hair. My hair was the perfect soft waves that held all day, despite me constantly touching it. They both made me feel so comfortable and confident, and everything lasted beautifully (literally until 6am). I'm so glad I trusted them for such an important day Highly recommend them!

Our shared bride, Caitie, as well as all her bridesmaids, looked absolutely stunning! I've worked many weddings but was very taken aback at how glowy and seamless all of their hair and makeup was at this event. Normally after standing in the sun and dancing, the wedding party begins to look a bit weathered with natural wear and tear on the overall look, especially with eye shadow smearing, etc. Cynthia and her team, on the other hand, did FANTASTIC work, with everyone looking flawless until the very end of the night! Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day. I wish I'd known about this team before my own wedding in 2024, and I will absolutely be referring her to all our future clients.

I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

Before the wedding, I had a trial with Kristie at her salon. I really liked the high quality products she used, and she was very careful and took her time to do a good job. She was collaborative, receiving feedback and trying different things. Her makeup style is natural and polished, highlighted with shimmer and feminine colors. She has an eye for what will look nice when photographed. After the trial, Kristie remained responsive, and I mostly communicated with her over text and email. Her pricing was competitive with or even more affordable than other HMUAs of similar style. We had a large group needing hair and makeup, but she assembled a team of experienced professionals and created a schedule to stagger everyone. My party's hair and makeup looked beautiful; everyone still looked very much like themselves, just enhanced. My groom has a perm, and he was pleased with Kristie's styling which made his hair look full and neat in photos. My hair style was an elegant up-do and the face framing curls were gorgeous. My makeup stayed on all night, even after a lot of dancing. I am so pleased to have found Kristie for my wedding. We look so timeless in photos and felt great because of her and her team!

I helped plan a wedding, and the bride decided to hire Kristie to take care of the mothers and the bridesmaids. Kristie courteously agreed even though she did mention she handles mostly brides. The location was outside of Temple City, so there was a travel fee. Leading up to the wedding, there was one hiccup that caused me so much anxiety. All the girls were asking me what time to show up, but I literally didn't have an answer because Kristie didn't tell me. She was busy and didn't give me the schedule until the night before the wedding. We were scheduled to start at 7 AM because there were 6 of us, but only two people are getting worked on at a time. Some girls showed up at 6:50 AM super tired but didn't get worked on until 9 AM. I felt so bad. They could have slept in. The results though were good. The girls felt their requests were handled. One girl needed to use her own make up due to sensitive skin, and Kristie obliged. Kristie had one assistant (Amy?), and they even used the hair pieces that the bride provided. Thank you, Kristie and assistant!

Booking: booking with Kelly Zhang studios was very easy and straightforward. The packet that they send you is very transparent on the cost of service. My communication with Nancy was punctual and professional. It was also very easy to pay for my services, with reminders of deadlines. Pre-wedding: I did do a makeup and hair trial with Valarie a few months prior to the wedding. It isn't included in the wedding packages, however, I am so grateful I did it because it gave me time to discuss with Val what makeup and hair looks I wanted/liked and how they'd compliment the vibe of my wedding/wedding dress. And also a second day in my life where I felt absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend spending some extra money for this. Val was receptive to my feedback and accepted the fact that I was not very adept at makeup/not used to it. She took that in stride and somehow created the vision I wanted, but way better. I teared up the day of my trial imagining self walking down the aisle. Val was also so friendly, it was easy to open up to her and we just talked for 3 hours about everything!! It made it so non-awkward and I really appreciated that. Day of: Val did hair and makeup for myself and 2 other people, one being my mom. My mom, who does not normally wear makeup and is picky about her makeup, could not stop gushing about how beautiful she felt and how flawless her skin looked. Val absolutely nailed it. My sister, who often does her own makeup and was nervous about having someone else do it, was also stunned by Val's makeup and hair. For me, I literally tell my husband everyday that I'll never be that beautiful again. My skin was flawless, and I have a few scars from prior acne, but my base didn't feel caked on. It felt light and natural. My makeup lasted all night, with a few touch ups of powder and lipstick that Val provided me. I definitely cried the waterworks and my makeup did not smudge at all!! My updo lasted until the very end after I had been on my dance floor for 2.5 hours straight. Post wedding: no breakouts! My initial pictures taken by guests made me look stunning (and these aren't even the professional ones!) Would highly recommend Val and Kelly Zhang studios. They are professional, listen to your desires, but also are willing to take some creative direction if you aren't a pro in makeup or hair. If you want to feel absolutely gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, radiant, and beyond satisfied with your hair and makeup, go with Val & Kelly Zhang studios! Will absolutely be asking Val for all my professional makeup needs in the future!
