Being in my 50s, I was a little nervous--I wasn't sure how the look would suit me. But I was pleasantly surprised and so happy with the results! They made me feel beautiful and confident.

Amazing hair stylist! She will take good care of your hair, cut to exactly how you want, or if you…read moredon't know what you want, she will do her best to help you find the perfect style for you. I've shown her pictures of what I wanted, and she has never failed to satisfy me. The only thing is that Miss Kim's primary language is Korean. However this doesn't stop her from providing quality service and fulfilling your request. She used a translator so that I would be able to understand her, and that she would be able to understand me. She really does the most for her customers!

I deleted my previous review for this business last year, because I felt pressured to write a…read more5-star review. The owner directly asked me to leave one for her at the end of my appointment. The only other person I can recall that has done that was patronizing at best. First off, I felt very uncomfortable during my time here because she kept trying to push and sell her products. My mother originally had scheduled a hair appointment, and I accompanied her and ended up being a walk-in. Apparently, she only takes 3-4 customers a day because her hours are limited, compared to other Korean hair salons. I should have just been stubborn and refused. I didn't want a haircut, but felt coerced to appease. I asked for a straight, clean cut, and it was not only choppy and layered, but also messy. She wanted us to buy hair care items (conditioner and hair oil) and placed them on the counter, as if we had no option but to pay for them. It left a bad taste in my mother's mouth because it's not like she was offering it--it was more of a must. The salesperson tactic she put on was one of the more demeaning customer service interactions of my life. She boasts about her experience in Korea with celebrities and also apparently is a makeup artist. However, I was unhappy and super dissatsified with how it turned out. She said she normally charges $35 for cutting bangs/fringes, yet she would do it free of charge. Like who does that? I ended up DIY-ing my own hair later at home because I couldn't stand the way it looked. It was super awkward because she ended taking pictures for me, and it was the strangest photoshoot session ever. Then, she somehow ended up convincing my mum to buy her hand-painted tissue boxes to pick up at another scheduled visit. At that point, I was so zoned out and ready to leave. I'm pretty sure my mother had zero interest in doing any more business with her, other than receiving the hair care, and the wooden boxes look like crappy work not even aesthetically-appealing enough to sell on a dreadful site like Etsy. We won't be returning. There are plenty of other Korean hair salons that are more affordable and will treat you like a human being, with better skills.

I got my first professionally done makeup from Estela for prom, and I couldn't have been happier. I…read moreset up a morning appointment since my friends and I were planning on meeting early to eat and take photos, and fortunately Estela had a remaining slot left! After I set up my appointment and sent her a picture of my prom dress, she knew immediately what kind of makeup would work best and come out perfectly in photos. I was apprehensive at first about getting my makeup done because some of my friends' makeovers from MAC were definitely not to my tastes. I was mostly worried that the makeup would turn out too dark and heavy. But, I worried for nothing because Estela's work is simply flawless! I especially love the way she did my eyes and brows - the glitter made my eyes pop out in photos, and the brows are on fleek. While she was doing my makeup, she put me completely at ease. She's very friendly and sweet, and thanks to her, my first professionally done makeup experience was great. And since I got my makeup done in the morning, Estela gave me some powder and lips for touchups later in the day, which I definitely appreciated. I think my makeup was the best out of all my friends in my prom group, and I received many compliments for it! I'd definitely recommend Estela for anyone who wants to get their makeup done for any occasion - either for prom or just for fun :)

Disclaimer: Estela and I went to high school together and played softball those many years ago…read more I am pretty helpless when it comes to makeup. Always had to get it done for school dances and didn't buy my own (except the powder I would buy in junior high just to feel cool) until 3rd year of college when I was prepping for interviews for internships and my roommate took me to the bare escentuals at the mall. Working full-time, my makeup is super simple, and fades (I gradually stop wearing it because when you're a CPA and working long hours, you stop caring). But I needed my makeup done for a photo session for my Save the Dates, and having seen Estela's work on facebook, I got to learn how professional she is. Her work station is clean, organized, sanitized and expansive. I'm Asian so I don't have the double eye lid fold, so that's always a test for makeup artists since many times its not what they are used to. But Estela did a great job. My always critical mom thought it was too dramatic but you have to for a camera. At the end of the day, I did think my eyebrows were a little darker than I anticipated but if I had known what I wanted, Estela would have been able to adjust/accommodate my eyebrows for me. But I thought I looked good in her chair, so that's on me IMHO. I would definitely recommend her even if I didn't know her from high school.

I was looking for a professional makeup artist for an event when Makeup by Michelle HK Kim popped…read moreup on both Yelp and Instagram, so I decided to reach out for a quote. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly Michelle responded, and we were able to confirm everything that same day. For an additional cost, I also booked a trial session with her, and I'm so glad I did! I immediately fell in love with her work and was so impressed by how professional, talented, and attentive she was. I actually forgot to bring an inspiration photo to my trial, but that wasn't a problem at all. Michelle knew exactly how to create the look I was going for--natural but still pronounced enough for photography. She really understood how to enhance my features without making the makeup feel too heavy or overdone. What I truly appreciated about Michelle was how comfortable she made me feel throughout the entire process. While she was doing my makeup, we chatted and got to know each other, and conversation with her was so easy and natural. By the end of the session, I honestly felt like I had known her for over a decade! As for the makeup itself, I absolutely loved it. She gave me a beautiful, dewy complexion while covering all of my blemishes and still making my skin look natural. For my eyes, she used reddish-brown tones and added a touch of shimmer to the inner corners, which really brightened and opened up my eyes. She added lashes that were full and long, but still looked surprisingly natural. She finished everything off with a cute pinkish blush and a natural pink lip gloss. I truly felt like a doll--and, most importantly, I felt so pretty! On the day of my event, Michelle was able to replicate the look from my trial perfectly. I was so happy with how everything turned out, and I received so many compliments on my makeup. Thank you so much for making me feel so pretty for the event! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for professionally done makeup.

Michelle is not only incredibly professional and talented, but you can truly see how much she enjoys what she does. She has such a passion for makeup and also her colleague's hairstylist who came with her on the day of our event, and both of them shows in every detail of their work. They're both fantastic artists and very welcoming people. Made you feel comfortable while being beautified. Honestly, I've never seen myself look and feel this beautiful before! She took the time to create a look that made me feel confident, glamorous, and truly special. Even my in-laws and my daughter were so happy with their hair and makeup and loved the service they provided. If you're looking for someone who is professional, talented, passionate, and genuinely cares about making you feel beautiful, I highly recommend Michelle!

I can't recommend Rose highly enough! I've been her client since 2023 and just completed my fourth…read moreeyebrow touch-up. Every experience has been exceptional. Rose is kind, professional, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She has an incredible eye for detail, and my eyebrows have truly never looked better. The results are so natural that people often compliment my face without realizing why. She consistently chooses the perfect pigment to complement my skin tone and carefully documents every detail, ensuring beautiful, consistent results at each visit. Her studio is easy to find, with plenty of convenient parking near Target. Just as importantly, everything is impeccably clean and well maintained. I've experienced zero complications after any of my procedures, which speaks volumes about her commitment to health, safety, and proper technique. What really sets Rose apart is her expertise. She is incredibly knowledgeable about eyebrow hair growth cycles, pigments and how brows naturally behave, how our bodies metabolize the pigment over time (which is why we need touch ups) which gives me complete confidence in her recommendations. I truly trust her with the "windows to my soul." Thanks to Rose, I wake up every day with beautifully shaped brows that make my face look polished and put together with minimal effort. I no longer have to spend time penciling in my eyebrows as part of my daily makeup routine, and that alone has been life-changing. Thank you, Rose, for consistently providing such exceptional service and artistry. Your talent, professionalism, and attention to detail keep me coming back, and I look forward to many more years as your client. If you're considering eyebrow services, don't hesitate--you'll be in the best hands!

I'm thrilled that my color stayed vibrant and maintained its ashy brown shade throughout the two years. Previously, my brows were micro-bladed by a different artist, and they ended up lightening significantly in less than a year and turning reddish (bottom photo)! However, two years ago, when I visited Rose for a redo, she expertly color-corrected them and it's been a game-changer ever since! I love how Rose pays meticulous attention to detail and how relaxed and welcoming her energy is. The time spent getting my brows done flies by in her studio, thanks to her calming atmosphere. I highly recommend Rose and will definitely continue to return for future retouches. She's truly a 10/10!

I kind of put review like comments on the photos of my hair that Ashley posted since she took the…read morephotos on her phone. Facts: 1. I was recommended to Ashley by my wedding photographer who is also my mom's friend's son but I also highly recommend him too, but back to Ashley. I didn't even really need to meet with her to see her portfolio since many of his clients used Ashley and photos of her work were in his portfolio. But I feel it's important to disclose what may or may not be information that would create bias. That being said, I still went through her yelp reviews and photos for Studio Ahtti to confirm the pick. 2. I am Korean but second generation and my Korean is super limited and terrible. 3. My bridal party was mostly Asians with two Caucasians. 4. She was at Studio Ahtti when my bridal party went the day of the wedding. Studio Ahtti is bigger and has more support staff. 5. I went back to Ashley and saw her at StyleBox 9 later for my formal bridal photos which we took after the wedding because of schedule constraints. StyleBox is a smaller studio and may not work if you have a large bridal party that needs to get ready for an earlier wedding. Overall: I would definitely recommend Ashley to someone who is Asian, getting married, and has the budget. Pros: I had gained weight pretty much steadily since the engagement and I was worried about my photos. I think the hair and makeup combined made me look awesome in my wedding photos considering my weight gain. I loved loved my look wedding day. I was very happy with my hair for my formal bridal photos, but I almost wanted my wedding day hair again, since I loved it so much. But she would have charged me more to do it again (formal bridal photos work was less than wedding day price). And my Asian bridesmaids all equally looked great. Cons: 1. Speaks primarily Korean, since my Korean is limited, it's a little hard to communicate with her. 2. My non-Asian bridesmaids might have looked better if they had been serviced by someone who works on non-Asians more as they are just different enough where perhaps the similar look didn't quite work? But only one bridesmaid complained about Ashley and the Studio Ahtti team. 3. Price, they are higher than others but also very similar to others so it's not a big con, but hits the budget. I talked to her about bleaching and dying my hair purple but her price was just to high. I ended up going to a friend of a friend who is also a very highly sought after wedding make up and hair studio but more in the Irvine area, and I had considered them when picking wedding make up and hair "vendors" without knowing about the mutual friend/relationship. They were more affordable and would have been more affordable for the wedding as well but location of studio also played a part in my decision.
