I had such a wonderful experience working with Pace for both my civil ceremony and wedding banquet,…read moreand I would absolutely use her again! From the beginning, Pace was communicative and clear about what she needed from me to understand my vision. The hair and makeup trial was such a great experience - I felt comfortable throughout, and it was clear that she was being thoughtful and intentional about understanding what I liked (and didn't like) about the looks we tried. Pace was punctual for every session, and the hair and makeup on the actual event days aligned beautifully with what we discussed and worked through during the trial. She was open, listened to my feedback, and made me feel like I could really trust her to bring my vision to life. She gave me exactly the look I was hoping for: natural, but elevated and polished. And the hair and makeup stayed completely intact throughout both events, which was especially impressive given how warm it was! I'm so glad I found Pace and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for hair and makeup for a wedding or special event. She's talented, thoughtful, communicative, and just genuinely wonderful to work with.

I highly recommend Pace for wedding day makeup. It lasted the entire 10 hours (could probably go…read moreeven longer) with no touch ups needed! The hair also stayed put in the San Francisco wind during my ceremony. Pace is super meticulous with face makeup it looks airbrushed and her color matches are on point. For the hair I showed her inspo pictures and she nailed it perfectly. She is also responsive to feedback; I did a trial with her first and told her what I wanted to change and she executed it perfectly on the day of and made tweaks in real time when I asked for it. I highly recommend booking her as your wedding day hmua if you like long lasting natural makeup that is suitable for Asian features (double eyelid tape if needed; meticulous falsie application).

Everything was clean and classy and natural on my wedding day. Shadow was accommodating, punctual, and super hard working. She came to my location to do my makeup and hair early morning. I asked her to come at 5am, but she showed up EARLY to set up her little station so she can start on makeup and hair exactly at 5am!! I was very impressed how serious she is with her job. Her makeup was beautifully applied and I got compliments throughout the day. I got three different dresses, she also changed my hairstyle 4 times throughout the day. I love her amazing skill with makeup, is that she's so sweet and incredibly easy to work with. She was thoughtful, kind, and professional from start to finish with reasonable price. I'd highly recommend her.

Also, aside from making you look beautiful, KoKo is the ultimate hype woman I didn't realize I needed on my wedding day. She was so easy and fun to talk to that she really set the tone for what a special day itll be and I felt so energized leaving her studio. She also gave me a lot of tips and showed me how to maintain my hair and makeup throughout the day. If you're considering it, book Koko given she'll make you look and feel like a million bucks on your special day.

Koko arrived super early at the bride's house and finished all three of us (bridesmaids) makeups and hair! Before she started the makeup, she discussed with me regarding the styles and few heads up instead of moving forward without my opinions. She's delightful to work with! During the process, she also patiently explained her choices of the makeup products to better suit my skin and style :) She also responded well to spontaneous requests and concerns! I told her that my hair is soft and thin so it's hard to create a "full volume" look. She immediately addressed the issue, creating a very beautiful hair style for me :) I would recommend Koko to everyone who is looking for a makeup artist who listens, cooperates and is skillful and pleasant to work with ;)

The salon is very clean and all employees are friendly and professional. When you're driving by the salon, it can appear to be closed, but it is open throughout the day, and they even opened up super early on a Sunday so I could get my makeup done for graduation. There is street parking along the side street and your car will be safe. When you're getting your makeup done here, you're their main priority - unlike when you go to the mall to get their makeup done and they stop a few times throughout your appointment to cater to others or push products on you that you won't even know how to apply right when you get home. The makeup they use lasts all day (I had it on from 7am-12midnight) and it still looked flawless at night even though I was out in the sun in June all day! Before booking an appointment to get my hair done, I stopped by one afternoon to show Jasmin my hair. At this consult she told me what she would have to do, how long it would take and a quote. I gave her my hectic availability and she was able to book me an appointment the following week! During my appointment, Jasmin explained each step and why she had to do something a particular way and how long each product would be in my hair. She also explained that every final result differs on the hair. I really appreciated this because never in my journey was I nervous or expecting a result that was not realistic for one session. When my hair was finished, it felt and looked so healthy! I opted to have Jasmin use the oil in my hair that she recommended to help my hair after being bleached. I have gotten my hair bleached at other salons before but was left with dry, brittle and easy to break off. Its been over a month and it still is healthy and soft feeling! She also cares about hair health because she recommended a lengthly gap (8-10 weeks) before coming in to do a lighter shade of balayage. I really appreciate this about her. She also suggested products that I should use to maintain the color, but wasn't pushy about selling her products. If you follow the salon on instagram you'll see what amazing work they do!

Jasmin did not try to upsell me with products or services but gave me feedback on what I need and should do for the maintenance of my hair.
