I had a big wedding party (2 moms, 8 bridesmaids, 1 flower girl) - Cynthia and her team executed all of their hair/makeup so beautifully! Her team listened to all the girls of what their style and inspiration was and I kept getting asked from guests of how did I manage to get the most beautiful bridal party. As for me, I had a makeup trial (which I high recommend) and it allowed me to see what I thought I wanted but didn't like. Cynthia listened to my feedback, provided advice and the day of, she really bought my vision to life. Cynthia and her team really made me feel at ease and I had the most calm wedding morning anyone can ask for! She checked in on me throughout the time to make sure I was doing fine. I was so impressed with her team's punctuality!! They finished ahead of schedule and that allowed me to have down time before the wedding really kicked off. I cannot recommend Cynthia and her team enough! They are amazing and their work truly speaks for it!!

Our shared bride, Caitie, as well as all her bridesmaids, looked absolutely stunning! I've worked many weddings but was very taken aback at how glowy and seamless all of their hair and makeup was at this event. Normally after standing in the sun and dancing, the wedding party begins to look a bit weathered with natural wear and tear on the overall look, especially with eye shadow smearing, etc. Cynthia and her team, on the other hand, did FANTASTIC work, with everyone looking flawless until the very end of the night! Her and her team have such a beautiful talent of accentuating each woman's natural beauty and features while still keeping everthing natural, but elevated. The blush, the highlight, and more specifically the EYES were all just perfect throughout the entire day. I wish I'd known about this team before my own wedding in 2024, and I will absolutely be referring her to all our future clients.

Results are SUPERB. Great response time, flexible availability, and most importantly I felt…read moreconfident to go about my day. I asked for a low key look and it turned out perfectly. I received a lot of compliments.

I really enjoyed working with Angela and her team. When I first met Angela for my trial session, I…read morewas incredibly nervous because make up is not my forte, but once I started talking to her I felt instantly at ease. She has such a sweet and fun presence where you didn't feel intimidated. It felt like chatting with a really close friend. And even though we had such great conversations going, she kept it very professional and made sure we got the look I was going for. I gave her some inspiration photos and she nailed it. I felt so elegant and beautiful after she finished. (Pics attached) I also really appreciated that she was so open to feedback and did not make me feel like 'she knew better.' She was also able to work with the hair accessories I brought and made it fit perfectly with the hair style I envisioned. Though I only went for a trial, right after the session, I immediately knew I wanted her for my wedding. And on the wedding day, she and her team did a stellar job. They came on time, got right to work, and there were 0 hiccups. My entire bridal team loved their look and I am so grateful for choosing this team. Thank you so much Angela/Beauty in Motion for everything!!

Tiffany, Cece, and May were assigned to my wedding day, and they were absolutely amazing. They were punctual, friendly, attentive, and incredibly experienced and talented in both hair and makeup. We had 1 bride, 1 groom, 4 bridesmaids, and 2 moms who needed hair and makeup services, and the entire team did such a beautiful job on everyone. They worked so efficiently and finished all the services right on time. My bridal party and I were truly amazed by how wonderful this team was! Grace was also incredibly professional throughout the entire planning process. She handled all the communication, scheduling, and logistics so smoothly. She is such a great leader and managed her team exceptionally well, which made the entire experience feel organized and stress-free. I just received my wedding photos, and seeing how beautiful I looked brought back all the wonderful memories from that day. I truly can't thank Grace, Tiffany, Cece, and May enough for doing such an incredible job and helping make my wedding day so special and beautiful. Thank you so much, Grace, Tiffany, Cece, and May! You are all amazing! I would definitely recommend Grace Lin Makeup and Hair Studio to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and reliable wedding day hair and makeup team. You will be in wonderful hands!

Her…read moreportfolio photos looked absolutely flawless, so when I wanted to refresh my own hair and makeup skills with a private lesson, she was the obvious choice. I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!

I couldn't have asked for a better makeup and hair artist for my wedding day! She made me feel…read moreabsolutely beautiful while still looking like myself. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through happy tears during the ceremony and dancing all night, and my hair stayed perfectly in place without feeling heavy. I wanted to match the romantic, classy vibes of the hotel and she made me feel and look like a princess! She really listened to what I wanted and brought my vision to life flawlessly. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also calm, professional, and such a lovely presence to have on a busy wedding morning. I'm so grateful to have had her as part of my day and can't recommend her enough! She brought another artist named Sunny who did my girls hair so nicely and quickly!

I did a natural glam, even though we trialed a beautiful glam, and it was beautiful!! I showed her photos of the hair and make up I wanted and she delivered! My hair stayed put a solid 10+ hours! She gave me a lip kit, where she mixed 3 different shades to match the color fit for me. She recommended a setting powder brand and shade for me :) Needless to say, my girls were perfection, and she matched the mink eyelashes to match the style of their make up! Definitely do the airbrush and mink lashes, it completes the look! You won't regret it!

If you're looking for a spa, check this place out. This spa is clean and centrally located in…read morePasadena with reasonably comparable prices. I love coming here for facials and to touch up my brows. I utilize the services of Julie, who is very attentive to detail and your personal skin care needs - this is your go to person. For my facials, I let her take the lead and go with what she feels my skin needs. I have never had any issues from the products used and I have always been satisfied with the outcome. I'm not going to lie, the extractions hurt but they're necessary so just grit your teeth and the process will be over before you know it. This spa is located in a plaza with a very ample parking lot. It is monitored so make sure you pay for your parking (I believe the first 30 or 90 mins are free...forgot the deets on that) or you will come back to a ticket. If you're in a need of a snack before your appointment, there are several coffee shops you will pass before reaching the spa. Appointments are required as is a deposit for services.

I scheduled a month ago for my nieces party. Two sisters for hair and makeup and 11:00. One would…read morebe getting hair while the other makeup and then switch. I text Liz to ask if they can add my sister at 10:00 for hair and makeup and she confirmed yes. I have all the proof on my text. Then a few days before I asked if they could do my hair at 9:30 no makeup and they were nice enough to accommodate me (or so I thought) fast forward to day of our big event. Yes I was running late and they moved it down that was my fault. But when my sister got there at 10:00 they started asking for one of my nieces saying one of them was suppose to be at 10:15. My sister called me on speaker and Liz was very rude and unprofessional. She totally made my sister feel so uncomfortable on a very important day for her and her daughters. It made me so upset that the start of their big day was ruined by how rude they were being treated and how Liz was yelling at me on the phone. I sent screenshots to my sister so she can show them proof of all our conversations. Liz dismissed it still blaming me. I told my sister here is the text she sent me with prices because I have a feeling she's going to try to charge you more. Sure enough my sister said she tried to charge her more. Upon seeing my nieces to get them in their quinceñera dress I could not believe the makeup that was done on them. I could have done a better job. They slapped sloppy glitter on top of their eyelids and put on cheap eyelashes. Their makeup looked lfar from special and the girls were so disappointed they almost cried. This "beauty bar" is not for a special occasion! Avoid at all cost. You will be disappointed. The makeup artist is nicer than Liz that's for sure but does not do quality work. Pay more for makeup because a cheap price comes with cheap makeup and hair . Update! The business intended to clarify but they are wrong. The attitude of Liz ruined what was suppose to be a special moment for my sister and nieces! There was no need to be rude and yell at me on the phone!

I booked Kelly T. at Kelly Zhang Studio for my wedding makeup and hair, and she did an incredible…read morejob. I found Kelly Zhang because I, like many other reviewers, was looking for a HMUA who would be comfortable working with Asian features (I am half-Chinese) and could do natural-looking bridal makeup, and they did not disappoint! I realized only after finding them that several of my friends had gone to this studio for their weddings or other events, and that they all had great experiences, so I felt really confident booking them. Also, the pricing was transparent and extremely fair, even though I did pay extra for travel fees from Pasadena to San Juan Capistrano/Orange County. From my trial two months before to the day-of, Kelly T. was a dream to work with. I don't wear a lot of heavy makeup on a daily basis, but while I definitely wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, I also wasn't afraid to look like I was wearing makeup - and she figured out that balance perfectly. We only made minor changes from my trial because I felt she nailed it right out of the gate, and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day! She did my mom's makeup too, and my mom told me later that she had never had her makeup done by someone who knew how to work with her features, so it was a really special experience. Thank you to Kelly T., Caroline (the coordinator), and Kelly Zhang's whole team for being part of my wedding day.

I booked Kahn as my main hair and makeup artist for my wedding and can't even begin to describe…read morewhat an amazing job she did! I don't usually wear makeup on day to day basis, so I was looking for someone that could achieve a natural, glowy, k-beauty type look for my wedding. When I saw Kahn's portfolio, I knew she was the one! I booked her first a HMU trial a few months before the big day- I absolutely loved my makeup at the trial but decided I want to go for a different hairstyle after taking some time to think about it. On the day of the wedding, I was honestly a little nervous because I didn't get the chance to try out the new hairstyle, but Kahn understood my vision and delivered exactly what I had asked for (which looked even better than I could've imagined). I truly have never felt so beautiful than on my wedding day, and it's all thanks to her! My only slight qualm with the service as a whole (and not Kahn's fault at all) was that there was a last-minute scheduling conflict and Kahn was unable to stay to do hair and makeup for the rest of the bridal party. However, the agency provided us with an additional HMU artist and offered to have Kahn come back during cocktail hour to do a free touch-up. I appreciate that they offered this concession, because it was great to have her touch up my makeup after shedding some tears at the ceremony. Kahn even offered to touch up the groom, and helped me with my outfit change during that time. The two additional makeup artists (Nikki and Madison) were also great- my mom was extremely happy with her makeup and said it was the best makeup service she's ever received. Overall, working with Kelly Zhang Agency was a smooth process from start to finish and I would 100% choose them again if I had to do it all over.

I drive 1.5 hours to see Yuri, and it's 100% worth going out of the way…read more She understands my hair, always makes the best suggestions when I ask, and knows what she's doing. I feel so much better leaving an appointment with Yuri! On top of that, she's so affordable in comparison to other salons in the area. It's $75 for a woman's cut and dry, and I know she can easily charge at least $150 for a cut if she wanted to. She has the experience and the portfolio to prove it. Her salon and associates are just great & experienced all around. Definitely worth booking an appointment.

I've had my make up done multiple times for weddings and such by other people but I was never satisfied. (Actually that's an understatement. I hated it haha) I did my trial with Yuri for my engagement shoot and I could not have been more happy! She's amazing! She really knows how to work with the features you got without over doing it, yet making you look fabulous in pictures. Her and her team of girls did hair and make up for me and my 5 bridesmaids for the wedding and everyone LOVED how they looked! That's hard to do with 6 picky girls! She sweet, she's real, she's accommodating, she's honest, and a perfectionist. Everything you would want in a hairstylist/ makeup artist.

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.

She's very detailed oriented, quick at responding, and gives clear directions and feedback. There was not one thing I would change about my look on my big day. She also has a great personality and an extraordinary work ethic. She's super fun to talk to and we shared so much joy and laughter throughout my wedding day.

Both Chiali and Fefe made it a priority to make both moms feel so comfortable and made it possible for them to make all their requests in Chinese so they could most accurately convey how they wanted to look. Both moms looked gorgeous, elegant, and were so happy with their looks!! Finally, they made sure to touch up my husband's hair and skin with just enough barely-there makeup to even out his skin tone but not look overbearing. We would hire Chiali and her team again in a heartbeat. We're obsessed!!
