They were incredibly patient as I figured out the look I wanted and never made me feel rushed. I really appreciated their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, everyone looked beautiful and received so many compliments on their hair and makeup. Our bridal party also commented on how kind and personable Shelby and Melinda were, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

I highly recommend booking a hair and trial to figure out ahead of time what you would want to look like for your wedding day. Anitra was my makeup artist and Celeste was my hair artist. I also have Gabi as an extra hair and makeup artist for both the MOB and MOG. They were are all lovely people to work with and talented professional artists. My bridal hair and makeup lasted for 9 hours with minimal touching up. Same for my bridesmaids as well.

I am getting married in August, 2010. I had been looking for a makeup artist for my engagement…read morephotos and for my wedding, since I am horrible with makeup. I had read that the airbrush makeup is much better than traditional makeup, so I did a google search for a makeup artist. There were a few that looked good, but they were so expensive. I didn't want to spend $1,000 just on makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. I then found Kirsten's website and sent an email inquiry. She did the airbrush makeup and her price is very reasonable. I also like the photos she had on her website. Everyone looked amazing and natural. That is exactly was I was looking for. I had quickly signed up for her to do my makeup for my engagement shoot. Let me just say this, she is beyond talented. I stupidly decided to try the spray tan right before my engagement shoot. I told the lady at the tanning place that I just needed a light tan just to get rid of the tan lines. I didn't want to be too dark. Of course, I come out looking orange. Kirsten was so amazing with my makeup. She took out most of the orange and I looked great for my photos. My photographer asked me if I had done my makeup and I told her that I had a makeup artist do my makeup. She told me that I better book my makeup artist for my wedding because she said my makeup was fantastic, especially in the photos. I am so happy to have her doing my makeup on my wedding day. If you are looking for amazing talent and at a decent price then you NEED to book her!

I used Makeup Artist On The Go-- the awesome Kirsten -- for wedding make-up on myself, my…read morebridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. I did extensive research and the rates cannot be beat especially since she included airbrush, eyelashes, and travel. Most other companies or individuals charged extra for each of these. I will agree with Arisa K.'s review below on a few points and they are valid points that brides should consider:--1-- Kirsten does not have a light touch.. HOWEVER, she has a time-effective touch that gets the job done right. This was important to me because I had 7 bridesmaids, so there was a total of 10 ladies getting hair and make up done for a 2:00 pm wedding. I wanted to be done earlier to get pictorials done. I appreciated the timeliness and having her (and the hair stylist, Katie) come in extra early so that me and the girls can be ready to go. --2-- Kirsten did have a rockabilly style (which I personally think is very cute and would be trying to pull-off if I didn't work in a job that required me to look "professional"). She is an artist and should be able to dress and style herself however she wants. I DID have a little bit of apprehension about my mother-in-law and how she would react (old school Filiipino ladies are usually on the more conservative side). Her friendliness and skill to hold a conversation with anyone about anything carried her and my ladies enjoyed her. The girls and I had a good time getting ready and shared giggles and laughs. Everyone turned out BEAUTIFUL. I know nothing about makeup application so I was clueless as what to dictate on how the bridesmaids and I should have our makeup and hair done. I said "natural smoky eye" just because my cousin who knows more make up than I do suggested. In the end, I told Kirsten to do whatever would look good & she sure did make them look great.. Then when it came to me I said "just make me look better than them".. She laughed out loud, but delivered on my request. LOL. I asked Katie to do side-do's for the bridesmaids. They all had varying hair lengths and styles from to-the-butt long and a super short bob. Katie did a great job on all their hair and everyone looked classy and hollywood once they slipped into their rose gold sequin dresses. I had loose curls and a bouffant?/poof on top. I felt beautiful and my husband was impressed. In conclusion-- I highly recommend! I hope to use them again if I ever have a special event to go to. Pics to come soon!

I had the most AMAZING experience with Hien for my wedding. Along with Metzli (hairstylist) and…read moretheir assistants, They were able to get my 8 bridesmaids, mother and MIL and myself all done before the estimated time. They were super efficient and they made it so fun and easy in the morning. The makeup itself was really light and didn't feel cake-y at all. I'm really glad I had the makeup trial with Hien and hair with Metzli beforehand too. I am a zero makeup user day to day so I was looking for something minimal while still having it stand out enough for people to know I am the bride. Communication through email and text only- Hien was very responsive so there were no issues or miscommunications. I would definitely recommend Hien if you're looking for someone who's not heavy handed with their makeup looks! Unless that's something you're going for, she can pull that off too!

I sent her an email to inquire about her availability and she responded the next day. Hien only does makeup and she collaborates with another artist to style hair. Hien was the only point of contact and so all questions were directed to her for both hair and makeup. Hien was friendly, professional, and quick to respond to any of my questions throughout the entire process. I scheduled my trial with her on the day of my engagement photo shoot and LOVED how my makeup turned out. She assesses how comfortable you are with makeup and asks what your preferences are so that she can get a sense of what would be most suitable. I really appreciated that she provided suggestions on what to do if I were to cry or if my skin got oily. By the end of the day, my makeup still looked great despite sweating a little from running around on the beach. On the day of the wedding, she came on time at 7AM and set up all of her things very quickly. Hien and Metzli did HMU for my mom, the groom's mom, and myself. They were able to finish hair and makeup for all three of us by 10AM as promised, and everyone was very happy with their look. My mom even said that her makeup looked better compared to when she had her makeup done for my brother's wedding a few years ago. My makeup still looked great even after all the sweating I did from dancing by the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend Hien to anyone looking to get their makeup done for any occasion

In my research of other makeup artists, I noticed that Jennifer had a keen eye for color matching foundation to a person's skin tone and was very observant when it came to undertones across different ethnicities. I found that her color matching for me was absolutely perfect and completely undetectable. She is also extremely receptive to feedback if you would like to change anything about your makeup or hair, and she is truly a master of her art. I have oily skin and typically need to blot every 2-3 hours, so I was honestly shocked by how long my makeup lasted. The way Jennifer set my face allowed my makeup to last 15+ hours with minimal oil coming through at all. I received compliments throughout the entire night that my makeup didn't look heavy and that I still looked like myself. I highly recommend Jennifer for your makeup and hair needs!

I had heard about her through mutual friends and community. I'm really glad that I got to work with her for my wedding. She is dedicated to her craft and really talented. I am always nervous about working with others who may not be as well versed in my Asian facial structure and hair, but I did not have to worry at all with JP Charming! I did book a trial with Chi Hang so that I could get a feel of what I liked and would want on my special day. I was able to match this up with my engagement photoshoot. Chi Hang talked me through the whole process of my hair and make up. She also asked me a lot of questions to see what I liked and what I wanted to aim for. This was helpful as she was building my profile for my wedding day. I was torn between a half-up, half-down and a low bun. Turns out, I can have both! On the wedding day, the base would be half-up, half-down and then turned into a low bun. The low bun would be for the ceremony and then turn into a half-up, half-down for the reception by taking out some bobby pins! On the wedding day, Chi Hang and her team were right on time and ready to go at 6:00 AM! I absolutely loved the two gals she brought with her: Pari and Lucy. My sister is usually so quiet, shy, and not super into doing hair and makeup. But I could hear her laughing and chit chatting away. I know my girls felt at ease working with Chi Hang, Pari, and Lucy. They really take into consideration what their clients want and make it happen! My mom was very impressed and whew, it can be hard to impress her. The whole process was very well organized and timely. She had sent me a spreadsheet of the breakdowns of who does what and what at time. We were on schedule, which was a relief to me because I have been a part of a wedding party where one of the bridesmaids was missing from the tea ceremony due to the makeup artist miscalculating timing. My wedding was the end of August so it was still very hot out! However, my hair and makeup stayed great throughout the whole day. She gave me a little kit to help touch up any pieces. It was such a sweet touch. I'm so grateful that I went with JP Charming for my wedding! She is so kind and really wants to know what you like. It makes it easier for people like me who sometimes have a hard time speaking my thoughts. Thank you for everything, Chi Hang! If you're looking for a A+++ team, look no further than JP Charming!
