I head about Elaine through a friend and really liked her work. She was really great to work with as she is super responsive through text and email. Elaine and her team made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful on our big day. With her service, she does offer a make up trial. She was really patient with me as we had gone through a fee options in terms of what I wanted for my make-up and hair. I originally wanted to do a lower bun look and was glad that we had this trial to help me figure the best style for my big day. The lower bun did not make the cut so I ended up doing curls with a quarter up do so the hair piece I purchased would be able to sit on top of my head. In the end, I was super happy with the way my make-up and hair turned out. Elaine and her team did an amazing job. I could not have been anymore happier with the outcome. read more

Back in 2021, a family friend referred Elaine to me as my wedding makeup and hair stylist. Due to Elaine's quality of work and her professional responsiveness to my emails, I chose her as my makeup and hair stylist. I scheduled a makeup trial with Elaine for my engagement shoot. The full makeup trial took four hours because Elaine took her time to ensure I was happy with the makeup and hair styles for my big day. A week before my wedding in October 2022, Elaine had sent a reminder email for me and my bridal team to let us know do and don't list to prepare for my big day. On the day of my wedding, Elaine and her team arrived on time, efficient, and well-organized. They completed a total of five people makeup and hairs earlier than expected. Elaine was mainly focus on my hair and makeup, and she took her time to ensure everything was good and perfect. As I had a traditional and long Asian wedding (around 12 hours+), Elaine's makeup was good for the full day without any touch up. I am very satisfied with Elaine's professionalism and experience. My bridal team and mothers were very satisfied with their makeup and hair as well. Many of my wedding guests had given great compliments of our makeup and hairs. Highly recommend Elaine and her team, and I am looking forward to book Elaine as my makeup for future events and photoshoots. read more

This is a little overdue but Elaine was amazing for our wedding in 10/2019. Believe me, I shopped around on Yelp and tried to compare pricing with great quality and Elaine had a good package deal for the quality. She is very experienced and knew what she was talking about. We did a trial beforehand and tried 2 different hair styles. Elaine is friendly, and she gives a small touch up kit for the day of that I honestly didn't need except for little lip color. Around a week before, Elaine confirmed the makeup and hair schedule for my bridesmaids and I with time slots. Her team arrived on time and were efficient. We actually finished ahead of schedule to my delight. I was a little stressed about it. People loved the makeup. It included airbrushing as well. She also helped trim my eyebrows, which I got compliments about even after the wedding. Elaine also can help with wedding decor as needed with a separate company. read more

Elaine and her staff was recommended to me by my sister who had one of the senior artists for her wedding day, and now almost 10 years later for my tea ceremony. I do not wear make up or put up my hair so I was concerned about my look being caked on or unnatural, but Elaine was very experienced and did an amazing job! She was very mindful of her products used and even traveled to my location for my booking. Everyone complimented my look and I would recommend her for all your special event needs! She even provided touch up kit to use throughout the day. The make up lasted through my whole event and was amazing up to the very last minute of our special day. read more

She was very reasonably priced and very close to my house. read more

Did make up and hair with them for a wedding (I was a bridesmaid ) and was super pleasantly surprised at the results. Reason why is because I didn't have any idea of what type of hair I want, so it was kinda just winging it. They came up with this up do on the spot, reminds me of something from the olden days and I was a big fan. Would use them again. read more

Elaine was amazing for my wedding day on 11/23/19. She did my hair and makeup, and her team (one hair stylist and one makeup stylist) worked on my bridesmaid, mother, and groom's mother. Everyone looked amazing and they were punctual and efficient. My services started at 6am and everyone arrived on time because we had to be done by 9am for tea ceremony at 930am. Everything worked out great and smoothly. The trial hair and makeup was great too, I went to her studio and she was able to follow the pictures and samples. She gave recommendations and suggestions The price was reasonable and comparable to the other quotes I received. I highly recommend her!! read more

I first booked Elaine in 2020! I completed my trial with her in 2020 and did my engagement photos using the hair and makeup there. At our wedding in May 2023, I decided to modify the makeup style to be more peachy/pink vs brown. Elaine did an absolutely amazing job with making my false lashes look natural, making me feel confident, and using tape to form a double eyelid. She made me feel comfortable and even when I was worried about the wedding, she provided calm reassurance. Elaine is super sweet and extremely responsive (usually responding to texts and email within a couple hours and definitely within a day). She also arrived on time and worked with my schedule. I never had to worry about my hair and makeup. I will note that she can be brief over text (which initially felt cold to me) but she is super nice and very easy to work with. My sister in law, mother, and mother in law also got their hair and makeup done by Kimmy and I thought they looked amazing! Overall, I am very happy with my experience and would recommend her to any Asian bride. She communicates in both Chinese and English. Thank you Elaine for all your help! You are so sweet and it was such a pleasure working with you! read more

Using my hubby's account to write this review Elaine was an amazing makeup and hair artist! She did my hair and makeup for our wedding day last year. I booked her really early to take advantage of the promotion at that time where I get a trial run + day of at a discount and it was such an incredible deal! At trial, she listened to my concerns carefully such as having sensitive skin and not liking too heavy makeup or eyelashes on me. She also did 2 hair styles since I was indecisive during trial. She was quick to respond via email and text. And she and her team who helped my bridesmaids hair and makeup all arrived promptly on our big day. She was very careful with my giant hair bun and pins. And very patient with my makeup! She even give me an extra set of eyelash glue and lip balm in case of emergencies. I was very comfortable with Elaine's work and the final "look" was amazing very thankful for Elaine's hard work and patience! I love to share more photos but for privacy reasons, I will post only back/side photos from our wedding day please don't hesitate to contact Elaine to do your hair and makeup for your wedding day! read more

Elaine did an absolutely amazing job with me and my mom's hair and makeup on my wedding day, I cannot recommend her enough! She was so patient and attentive to detail, she would check in with me often to make sure I was happy with everything.

She really understands what suits our features the best and she truly cared in helping me and my mom look and feel our best! Not only is she talented, but she is kind and took the time to listen to what we wanted, which is also very important to look for in a makeup artist.

I know that Elaine is the best artist I could have worked with and I cannot thank her enough for the beautiful work she did! read more

I found Elaine through my matron of honor that had her wedding last year in Sept. Although she didn't choose Echou makeup as her first choice, it was a very close second. Elaine was very responsive via email even though she was super busy. She was able to give me her old pricing that was listed on her website even though her prices had changed!! decided to give her a try and booked a bridal trial with her on the day of my engagement shoot. She was very attentive to detail and took her time making my uneven eyes even (very hard to do with my monolids). She airbrushed my foundation on and it looked flawless! I went with a natural glam and had 2 hairstyles to try. She also gave me some very useful information on how to prep for the day of the wedding. My engagement photos turned out wonderful due to Elaine's artwork! I can't wait for her to do her magic on my very important day!! read more

Elaine did my makeup for my wedding and I'm very happy with the way I looked on the day of my wedding and in my pictures. I was looking for a makeup artist who is experienced in doing makeup for East Asian clients. My friend recommended Elaine to me and I saw pictures on her website and she quoted me a very reasonable price. She also didn't charge a travel fee as my venue was in city of industry. My family also hired her for makeup and hair, and they were very happy with the results as well. Elaine is also very professional- she is very easy to reach, prompt to reply via cell phone, confirmed our appointment, and arrived on time. Bonus- she also speaks, reads, and writes Mandarin If you're looking for a makeup artist and hair stylist, I highly recommend Elaine! read more

It's very natural and it doesn't stick because it's spring allergy season and my skin is very sensitive, but Elaine's makeup on me is very natural. read more

Echou Makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me - Temple City, California

I hired Elaine to do makeup for me, my mom, my mother-in-law and my husband for my wedding in January. I wasn't 100% satisfied after the trial, but I hired her anyway because she has positive reviews, and by that point I was just tired of contacting vendors for our two weddings (one in TC and one abroad). I think things turned okay, but I kind of wish I had gone with my gut and tried out other makeup artists. TRIAL RUN: First of all, I thought it was strange that she never introduced herself to me through email or in person. I only knew her name was Elaine because of all the Yelp reviews I've read. She did two hair styles and one makeup for the trial. She didn't seem very interested in my dress when I tried to show pictures to her, so don't hope for any input from her. I didn't really like how my hair turned out, but she blamed the thickness of my hair. She didn't make any suggestions or try altering it to look nicer since it was already the 2nd hair style so I was a little disappointed. I ended up choosing a simpler hair style for my wedding day. Luckily the MUA I hired for my other ceremony abroad was able to achieve what I wanted! Unlike Elaine, the other MUA actually took the time to get to know me, and we discussed what hair/makeup would go with my dress, shoes, etc. even though I wasn't able to do a trial with her before my wedding day. The contrast between that MUA and Elaine really stands out to me in hindsight, and I regret not trying out more MUA's for my wedding in TC. Overall, Elaine did a good job with my makeup, but I really didn't like that she kind of laughed at my eyebrows. I have thick eyebrows and she said they were "too much" and also commented on how they were uneven and seemed unsure of what to do with them. Even my eyebrows weren't perfect, I think there are better ways of going about it if you are a professional. I felt so self-conscious after the trial that I actually ended up going to an eyebrow waxing salon every month leading up to my wedding to try and get them to look better. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, her makeup kits were very messy/dirty, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. WEDDING DAY: A day or two before the wedding, Elaine texted me to confirm details. She said that her assistant would not be able to come even though I had booked her back in June, but she assured me that she would be able to do makeup for all four people. She was very flexible about time, which I appreciated, and she suggested a good time to start, taking into account when my photographer would be there and when the ceremony would start. Elaine arrived on time and immediately set up and got to work. She was able to do the simpler hair style I chose much better than the one I had her do at the trial, but after she left, I notice crimped parts showing that should've been hidden so that bothered me all night. At least it's not noticeable in pictures. Also, one of the fake eyelashes she had applied was falling off by the end of the night. At least this time, she didn't say anything about my eyebrows, so I guess going to the wax salon paid off. I thought it was strange that she didn't apply ANY powder to my eyebrows, though, since not all of the hairs had grown in completely yet. I wish I had spoken up, but everything was so chaotic that day, I didn't notice until it was too late. Overall I looked okay. It was just the little details that bothered me. She did a far worse job on my husband and our mothers. She literally told my husband before she started that she's not good at doing hair/makeup for men, which kind of put him off. She only applied a thin layer of powder to his face and barely did anything to his hair. She did nothing to hide the flaws he's self-conscious of, and he also had to do his own hair in the end. She should take groom's hair/makeup off her website if she is unable to perform that service. I'm not sure what I paid for. Our moms complained that she didn't really do much makeup on them either. Unfortunately, no one told me how disappointed they were until AFTER I had already paid and tipped her. I really regret that. I also felt weird that she left without telling anyone. I saw her packing up, but since I was running around doing other things, I didn't notice when she actually left and no one else knew that she had left either. I feel like you should tell at least one person that you are leaving before you disappear. You should probably double check that at least the bride is looking her best before you leave. ADVICE: Definitely do a trial run and no EXACTLY what you want. Simple is better. If you are going to hire her, only hire her for bridal makeup. Don't bother with other family members and definitely not the groom. She also didn't apply any skincare on any of us before she started applying makeup so make sure you do your own skincare routine beforehand if you decide to hire her. Also, make sure everyone is satisfied before tipping. read more

First time ever getting hair and makeup done and I'm so glad I found Echou Makeup. I called about a week before my wedding and Elaine was able to get the contract ready for me in a pinch with a discounted price. We didn't end up doing the trial run because of the short notice so she recommended adding an hour to the session, which we didn't end up needing. Elaine did a wonderful job & the whole time, I felt that I was in good hands. She is skilled in her craft and best of all, she has the heart of wanting to make you look your very best on your special day. I loved the natural look she did for my makeup and I received many many compliments on my wedding day. I would definitely recommend Echou to friends and family and anyone wanting to look their best for any occasion. Elaine is the best and I'm so grateful for her. THANK YOU, ELAINE read more

Echou Makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me - Temple City, California

Exactly one year ago, Elaine did a fabulous job on my bridal hair and makeup! Her prices are as reasonable as anything "wedding" goes, and it even included airbrush makeup which others were charging extra for. After my hair and makeup trial, I decided to go with something completely different on my big day because I wanted to be more comfortable (all those up-dos require a lot of bobby pins which can become quite uncomfortable after a few hours) and reflect what I normally looked like. Elaine easily adapted to my new requests and everything came out great! She was very professional and easy to get along with. My makeup and hair lasted for the entire day even in an outdoor June wedding, and I did NOT feel like I had pounds of makeup caked on. I loved how my photos came out thanks to her hair and make up artistry. Elaine enlisted the help of 3 other hair stylists/MUA to help with the entire bridal party, but Elaine solely worked on my hair/makeup. She even left me with a small touch-up kit, but I didn't have to end up using it. The bridal party was satisfied with the services of the other hair stylists/MUA as well. read more

Elaine is always on time. She is very humble and easy to talk to. I have had many make up artists do my face but, they can not quite figure out how to do my eyes and eye lashes. I have hidden double eyelids and putting on the eye shadow and eye lashes are the trickiest part usually but, Elaine is a professional and she figured it out and did an AMAZING job! Thank you Elaine. I miss you already and will recommend you always! Janet read more

Elaine did such an amazing job with my bridal hair and makeup. From day 1, she was always quick to respond to all my inquiries which made her very easy to work with! First, I had a the hair and makeup trial which I used for my engagement shoot. Everything held up really well in the blistering LA summer heat. On the day of the wedding, she showed up early (!) to the hotel where we got started with the hair and makeup. She applied everything flawlessly, and everything turned out perfect. Her assistant, Tina, also did an excellent job with my mom and maid of honor. The timing worked out perfectly with the photographer, so Elaine and her team definitely deserve a big shout out, because I know how many things run behind on wedding days! My updo and makeup held up really well for the entire day! My FAVORITE thing about Elaine is that she also didnt try to make me look unnatural. Many other Asian makeup artists always try to make me look paler than my natural skin tone (Im pretty tanned), but she stayed true to the natural hue I was going for. Highly recommended! read more

Elaine and her stylist team did my sister's wedding hair and makeup. Fast forward 10 years later, it was my turn to get married. I reached out to Elaine to schedule a makeup and hair trial for engagement photos. I chose an updo but Elaine removed the updo at the end so that I could just have curls for the photos. Elaine provided a hair and makeup schedule for the rest of the wedding party which was so helpful! Elaine and her team did a great job! We all wanted a more natural look and that is exactly what we got. Elaine's professional and so easy to talk to. I would recommend booking her for your bridal or special event beauty needs! read more

I came to Elaine for my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding. She was very easy to talk to and understanding. My fiance and I were on a budget since we were paying for our wedding on our own. Elaine understood and worked with me on the pricing. I came to her for a hair and makeup trial, bringing in a few photos. She did 2 different updo's for me to consider. After she was done she even said for me to take note of what I liked and didn't like so that on my wedding day she could make adjustments. She took her time in doing both hair and makeup. I don't have too much hair. To give my style more volume she suggested using some fake hair which she would let me borrow during the wedding day. She also let me borrow a hair piece as embellishment. I just needed to leave a deposit and pick up the hair piece a week prior to the wedding day. After returning the pieces she returned me my deposit. Each curl was pinned very carefully. When she didn't like how something looked she would redo it. Same went for the makeup. I have uneven eyes. When it came to forming my eye shape and applying the fake eyelashes she tried multiple times, getting just the right look to her satisfaction. During the trial she used whole eyelashes pieces. They didn't stay for very long and I was leaning towards more individual lashes. I returned to her for my hair and makeup for the engagement shoot. At that time I asked to trial smaller sections of lashes. She agreed to try and it felt more comfortable and stayed on longer. On the day of the wedding she looked at a photo I had taken from the trial and replicated with changes here and there that I mentioned to her. My friend was hanging out with me as I got ready. She even made a comment on how meticulous Elaine is, taking her time doing things just right. Elaine had suggested adding braids in my hair. My friend noticed how intricate of a style she had done for me. It was beautiful. I would recommend Elaine. My wedding day was great! read more

Wedding Quick Tips!! 1. Echou Makeup is located near Temple City Blvd. and Las Tunas, there is another haircut/makeup shop very near it so be sure to go down a bit. 2. There is a back parking lot if you have multiple people coming over for a hair appointment etc. 3. Elaine can speak Mandarin and English when it comes to talk terms. Elaine was extremely professional. Over the phone, my wife agreed with Elaine for a package deal for $1,230 which include the bridal makeup and hair ($570, including trial), and $110 for each additional makeup and hair service for other people. She also gave us a discount if we wrote a yelp review. My wife and my mother-in-law went to the engagement trial. Elaine was very meticulous with my hair. Jenny showed her a style of hair that she liked. Elaine was able to copy the hairstyle very well and adjusted as she went. The hair part took about an hour and a half. She then did Jenny's makeup. Again, Jenny showed her a style that she liked and Elaine tried her best to copy it and improve upon it. Elaine was able to do so and also showed Jenny different types of eye lashes and other accessories that Jenny could borrow on the wedding day. After giving Elaine's information to our wedding coordinator, A Touch Of Lavender (Check my reviews!), Elaine and an additional hairdresser and additional makeup stylist showed up on time to do the makeup for Jenny, her 3 bridesmaids, and my mom and sister. The team knew exactly knew what they were doing. Elaine worked exclusively on Jenny's makeup and hair, while the makeup artist and hair dresser tag teamed each other on the rest of the people involved. The hair and makeup on our bridesmaid was perfect, very elegant, and well done. My sister and mother both commented that they felt like their makeup really made them feel beautiful and young! Overall we would highly suggest hiring Echou Makeup as their team is professional, fast working, and very detail oriented. Thank you for making our wedding great! read more

I had a special event to go to and our generous coordinator booked a few of us appointments at Elaine's studio. When I got there ( I was the earliest) at noon on a Sunday, Elaine was already there with her makeup set up. She has a huge cart of the stuff and looked very organized and well-prepared so I felt good about getting a new face painted on. She has a studio booth area but had me seated at a spot near the window since it was bright and sunny, natural lighting always being the best. We went over what I needed for the event (heavier make-up, a more dramatic effect because it was being filmed) and then she got to work. I'll admit I wanted to steal down the names of some of the products she was using. There was a pink tube of moisturizer or primer that felt fantastic on my skin and worked miracles getting everything to blend and set. At first I was skeptical of the idea that makeup could possibly take 2 hours but Elaine really worked her stuff. She proposed that we do one look and then tweak it a little, before deciding on which I would actually keep for the event. She custom matched my skin color on a palette and took her time working out my "problem areas". She even made my eyelids match with tape! (I felt like a Non-no girl, hehe.) She noted that I should comb out my brows better to keep them growing in the same direction and then showed me how she was drawing them to even them out. Elaine really worked hard and she made sure to blend everything down to my neck, paying attention to little details that made me feel like she cared about the finished product as much as I did. She had me up in these big rollers which did amazing things to my hair and showed me her collection of extensions and hair accessories. So many goodies! When I asked, she said that a lot of brides actually don't have their own hair decore or jewelry and so she lends them out occasionally when she does their design. My favorite part was the airbrushing, because I'd never had it done before. She had a kit that she plugged in and used to smooth everything over. (She also said that she did airbrushing at the end because it made the make up not as "heavy" as if it were done for the whole thing.) It must have helped with setting the make up too because man, that thing lasted through a lot of heat, sweating and running around later that night. I'll post a photo of the make up after a hot day's worth of work- (note that this make up was intentionally a bit heavier because of filming, however, it wasn't cakey or thick feeling at all like some other places.) I liked all the colors she used and she did a lot of customizing to work with what looks good with your skin and clothes. The regular price for these things are $190, I believe? The full bridal package is more expensive although you can always go cheaper with one of her team's other make up artists. Elaine was professional, friendly and had a great personality- she didn't make me feel like a guinea pig but also gave her honest opinion and suggestion on what would be best for my face. You can tell she's done this for a long time and she really knows what she's doing. I would definitely recommend her for any special events you want to splurge for or a wedding day! read more

Echou Makeup - Makeup Artists Near Me - Temple City, California

Elaine did a great job with my hair & makeup for my wedding last month! I especially received a lot of compliments on my hair. After our trial a few months before, I let her know that I wanted a little less foundation so that my makeup didn't look like it was cake-y in person, even though I understand that it's for photos. However, she definitely kept that in mind for the actual wedding and it turned out great! Her team also did hair for my bridesmaids which came out nice as well - see photos. Her prices are reasonable. My only concern was that she did not spend that much time on my mom's hair/makeup and she didn't feel "pampered" (although to Elaine's credit, my mom didn't say anything to me until after Elaine had already left). In any case, I did really like Elaine's work on me and would definitely recommend her. Thanks Elaine for dolling me up! :) read more

Elaine is good, she has a lot of talent with makeup and updos for hair. I did a trial at her studio first, the style turned out to be too dramatic and overdone for my taste, I requested a redo, looked up a lot of more natural styles that I wanted and went back again and she did it more to my liking. So I would suggest going in knowing exactly what you want and bringing a lot of examples from the internet. On the day of my wedding she was on time and did my hair and makeup up to my specifications and I thought it looked beautiful. Her prices are reasonable compared to all the studios I researched. She is nice to talk to. I would recommend her for your big day, just be sure you know what style you want. read more
