    Inspiration Photos and After Photos from my engagement session and trial so you can judge for yourself.
    Amber T.

    I never write negative reviews, but I think other brides deserve a heads up! I booked with Nia based on her reviews and the photos on her website. I am high-risk so I decided to pass on the trial and book a session for our engagement photos. I was reasonably pleased with my makeup and decided maybe we had a miscommunication about my hair. Since it was too late to make a change, I made the best of it and thank goodness our photographer got some great photos. After that experience I booked a trial for the wedding to be sure we were on the same page. Again I tried to make the best of it, but my hair was a disaster! I showed her photos and attempted to intervene. When she saw I was upset she tried to argue that the style might not be possible with my hair. Trying to work through it I returned home and redid the hairstyle myself to share photos with my hair. She made no attempt to problem solve or reassure me. When I finally cancelled, she literally replied "no worries" but despite the month of advanced warning and all my efforts to work through things she still refused to refund my deposit. So disappointing. If you want anything other than the simplest hair style, stay away! Praying I can find someone better in time and hoping it will be a funny story some day. Updated - since I posted Nia did provide a refund.

    Nia is awesome! I was very happy with my wedding day make up and hair done by Nia and her assistant Brianna. Both ladies were able to accommodate 7 of us (5 bridesmaids, MOB, and bride!) in a reasonable amount of time. It was such a fun-filled glam morning/afternoon! I received many compliments on my wedding day make up and hair. Both my hair and my make up lasted all evening (from 3 pm to 5 am). I even went to sleep with my hair still intact, and eyelashes on! Overall, Nia and Brianna were very professional, listened to our requests, and did a beautiful job! Thank you :)

    Where do I begin!? Nia is an incredibly kind, punctual, and vibrant person. I've actually been in contact with Nia for a little over a year now due to my wedding being shifted around with the pandemic, and she's been such a joy to work with! Throughout this whole process she's been organized, flexible, and communicative- did I forget to mention she's also extremely talented!? I had my wedding hair & makeup trial with her this morning and just had to tell the world how fantastic she is. When I came home from the trial this morning my fiancé couldn't take his eyes off me and definitely started tearing up- his reaction solidified it all for me! :) I'm someone who is extremely picky with my makeup and she was able to create a wedding look for me with such ease and positivity. What I really loved about her style was that my makeup looked so glam, polished and elegant without looking too dramatic. The products and technique she uses makes your makeup feel so light and airy! I also have naturally curly hair and it's always been hard for me to find stylists that I trust with my curls- Nia took on my curly head of hair like a pro! She even taught me some amazing tricks and showed me a ton of new products to use to keep my hair happy, healthy, and behaving (if you have curly hair you know what I mean!). You can tell she really loves what she does and truly has a passion for helping people feel beautiful inside and out. I can't thank her enough for making this process so fun and stress-free. I'm so happy that I found Nia and I'm beyond excited to have her style my bridal party on my wedding day. Can't wait to update this review later with more pictures once I get married in May!

    Nia did my hair and makeup for my engagement pictures and my wedding. She is very fun and energetic and does a great job hyping you up on your special day! She also did my bridesmaids' and my mother-in-law's hair and makeup on the big day. Everyone's hair and makeup lasted the entire day- we got married on a warm, sunny day in September and didn't experience any makeup sweating off. Nia was very accommodating and picked up hair extensions for me to achieve the wedding hair look I was looking for. My hair has a hard time holding a curl and volume- but my hair held the entire night!! The curls were still holding strong the next morning after sleeping! I also love the foundation she used- there was no creasing on my face. I felt like a beautiful bride and I was very happy working with Nia! :)

    Nia is as good as it gets! BACKGROUND: Before I contacted Nia for my wedding day makeup and hair needs I was hesitant and a bit concerned about where to turn. I'm an Asian American female who hadn't the faintest clue about most makeup procedures. I'm a plain Jane who loves her lip gloss. While most girls experimented in their preteens and teenage years, I was about to embark on a new adventure in my 30s. Finding a makeup artist professional was a last minute decision. They say you only get married once, so you might as well look your very best for your BIG day! WORKING TOGETHER (IN 2009): As the other reviewers have said, Nia was professional, affordable, responsive, knowledgeable and most of all T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D! Nia is skilled in her craft and truly listens to her customers. My initial contact with Nia was 10 days before my wedding date! YES, ONLY 10! We arranged to have my trial run five days before I tied the knot. I was pleased with my hair and makeup trial run, therefore booked Nia for my wedding day. All went smoothly on my wedding day and I loved her services so much that I booked another makeup session a month later. Nia helped me achieve what I wanted for two different grand events! She's my go-to gal when I want to look and feel beyond beautiful! A quick tip for those feeling nervous or hesitant: you'll never know unless you try.

BUT I got out of the shower and just kind of scrunched my layers as they dried- SUPER CUTE. Natural volume and curl.

I was floored by his skills and attention to detail, not only towards my hair but also to my comfort. Making an appointment was easy - just text his number and asked about availability and sent pictures. I drove from South Bay but this was more than worth the hour drive. Plenty of street parking available. Upon arrival at 3:30 pm on a weekday, K greeted me with warmth into his well lit studio. Chic Hair Design is a one man show. I'm not sure about other's preferences, but I appreciate having one expert care for my hair from beginning to end (vs 5 different people passing the baton on different tasks). K inspected my hair thoroughly, made recommendations, and took the extra mile to ensure my shirt stayed clean, that I had something to drink, and kept me laughing with his charming demeanor. He makes it very apparent that he enjoys his career. Color, shampoo, haircut, blow dry, and style took a little less than 3 hours and the result was stunning! K made me feel like a K-drama main character walking out of the salon hahaha. His pricing is competitive - so do tip him generously! Can't wait to come back!

Once you walk in, you know you're in a salon that is clean, well valued, and have a sense of serenity! The decor is also on point and there has never been a time that I've gone that the shop has been in a disarray. What shop have you ever been to that's always spotless and smell good at all times no matter how busy it is. Toni makes sure she takes pride in her brand and is a perfect example of her work! She is always put together and never makes excuses as to why her hair or appearance is a mess and she is always professional. This is why I was shocked to see the 1 star review that was left! I'm not a hairstylist, but I do have curly hair and know that my curly hair will never be bone straight with a relaxer. A relaxer is made to straighten your hair, but a good stylist is able to keep your hair healthy by keeping the integrity of your texture, especially when you want to add color. That is one thing Toni and I have discussed when she has colored my hair in the past. Her motto is healthy hair first! She is not one of those stylist that will put chemicals in your hair without you understanding what comes with the process. I love how she has taken care of my scalp; which has allowed my hair to grow and it's the healthiest it has ever been. No more shedding! No more flakes! No more dead hair! I have a beautiful full short cut with volume and she's even gotten my thin sides to fill in. I am thankful that Toni always puts her clients first, always reinvesting in her hair studio, takes the time to always educate her clients, and most recently have made major changes to incorporate COVID changes that proves she's not playing any games with our health nor hers!

Toni agreed to do both within three weeks of each other. I asked her more than once if the relaxer would make it bone straight and she replied yes each time. A week after the relaxer I washed it and it wasn't bone straight like she said it'd be. It had an unexpected curl to it. I respectfully brought this concern and question to her via email honestly thinking I would come to a better understanding and resolution to my hair goals. She replied back explaining things to me regarding the relaxer service & process of going blonde that she failed to tell me during my initial consultation. Had she done so I would've obviously understood why my hair still had a curl to it and not questioned her about it. Instead, she decided not to do business with me ever again which I feel was out of spite due to her feeling slightly offended. She met me with the classic "I wish you the best of luck..." I've attached the factual email exchange between Toni & I and also proof that I was a client of hers & I did pay her for relaxing my hair so Yelp knows I'm genuine, legit, and voicing a real concern I had regarding my experience with this business owner/hairstylist.

I was adamant that even though I was putting together an Indian wedding with heavy outfits, I wanted all my makeup looks to be as natural and timeless as possible with elements of fun. Maria delivered on all of these requests, which included numerous rounds of trying different eyelash strips/lipstick colors/eyeliner shades and texting inspo pics and was always helpful and patient.
