I hired Kary as my HMU for my wedding in April 2026. She was a total professional and really…read morepassionate in what she does. I was really happy with my looks throughout the event and Kary was attentive throughout, really glad to have hired her. During the makeup trial she listened to my needs and took times to try multiple styles and looks until I'm comfortable with my choices. Her makeup style is very beautiful and natural at the same time, she has a great understand of Asian features. I felt very beautiful. During the event she stayed around for almost the whole ceremony to reception, helping with touch ups and outfit/look changes. She was also great with my mother and bridesmaids, patient and giving styling support when my mom had questions. However I think there's room for improvement in her team. The second HMU she brought with her to help with the other half of my bridesmaids was not as good. My bridesmaid mentioned that her side bun constantly fell out and after asking to be fixed multiple time they just ended up fixing it themselves. The second HMU also didn't seem to have the same joy as Kary and wasn't too friendly. Outside of that, Kary's husband Eugene does all her booking, scheduling and communications. Have some patience for him to get back to you and double check the booking times as I experienced some mixed up during the trial booking. Overall I would definitely recommend working with Kary for your makeup, you will not regret it, she really took good care of me.

She really brings out the best of your natural beauty in her makeup, and she can do such a wide variety of hairstyles well. My hair and makeup held up all night. Beyond that, Kary and her assistant were extremely caring and professional. Somehow I managed to give them the wrong address, but they figured out the right address and still arrived early. They also went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kary!

I hired Jen for my wedding, and I'm so glad I did! We were planning on a tight timeline due to a…read morefamily situation, and so many vendors were challenging to get ahold of. Jen emailed me back within a day with all her details and information, and I was so excited. I shared photos with her, and she worked with me and my hair/skin concerns to get a look that I loved. I had my trial with her about two weeks before my wedding so we could also have a trial shoot with our photographer. I rarely wear makeup, and I was blown away by how good I looked and felt - like the best version of myself. The makeup also photographed wonderfully. Jen was so kind and funny, which made the getting ready process on the wedding day so much less stressful. My makeup also lasted through a hot day at City Hall, a windy outdoor photoshoot, and a dinner with dancing, somehow without creasing or running. Sorcery!!! Thank you, Jen!!

Once I arrived and met her in person, it was as if we had met before - she is approachable, friendly, and makes you feel like an old friend. Now onto the actual hair and makeup - her talent far exceeded my expectations! I gave her a general idea of what I was going for and she was able to quickly run with it and when she showed me the finished product at the end, I was so thrilled. I love the way it looked both in person and the way it photographed (pictures attached). I would highly recommend booking JT artistry for your hair and makeup needs! I didn't want to wash my face or undo my hair after the photoshoot because it looked so good, haha!

I can't thank her enough for being so sweet, thoughtful, and caring throughout the entire process. She wasn't just my makeup artist--she was my fairy godmother!

This creates a tricky balance of not feeling comfortable in a ton of makeup but still want enough to feel done up and special. Aimee absolutely nailed it! I felt SO truly beautiful allllll day on my wedding day and still 100% myself. I cannot thank her enough for helping me feel so beautiful on my special day. I did not know much that would be helpful going into our trial and she was able to find the perfect process for my makeup and deal with my mind changing on hair style with extensions seamlessly. Aimee is so so talented and was also such a joy to just be around! Whether hair and makeup makes you nervous like me or if you feel good in that space but are looking for the right person, I know Aimee can provide an excellent service! I recommend her so much that I'm going back to her for a lesson to try and learn from her expertise. So talented and a wonderful, positive person to start your wedding day with! Miss you already, Aimee!

YES, she did my hair and makeup for prom and senior portraits and then again for a few nights out during college. For lashes, I've been getting my extensions done with Minia since 2018. My skin/face is typically really sensitive and Minia's been the only makeup/lash artist I've trusted. She is always so gentle, professional and informative, ensuring that I am comfortable and satisfied throughout the entire process. She's also super patient with all my needs/asks and always goes over and beyond. I love my lash sessions with her, it truly feels like I'm hanging out and chatting with my bestie! Her space is very comfy and tidy, which always reassures me. She plays any kind of music you want and is always very welcoming and warm. Here is the most recent lash set I got on 1/23. It's been a week now and my lashes still look so good! I literally can't stop staring at myself LOL If you're looking for a trusted, high-quality, relaxing makeup and/or lash experience, book with Minia NOW. I drive from San Jose to San Francisco every 3-4 weeks for my fills, so that alone says a lot!

I really like coming here. Everyone is very professional and the atmosphere is fun and uplifting.read more

I love this place so much and Krista is a hair GODDESS…read more I haven't had a haircut in about a decade because of health and anxiety reasons and decided to take the step and my fiancé reached out to figure out how to set an appointment for me because I was a little overwhelmed by the choices online. They said they could have me in for a consultation same day and after the consultation we made an appointment for me to do my hair with Krista. Oh my goodness. Any anxiety I had went away immediately when I walked to the shop and Krista waved hi to me. Honestly one of the warmest sweetest people I've had the pleasure of meeting AND she is a master of hair magic. She communicated with me throughout, made sure I was happy and comfortable, and let me know what was happening while she was doing my hair. Y'all, I am beyond amazed and impressed with how everything turned out. I have really thick unruly curly hair in my opinion and she tamed it and styled it and I already know even after I wash my hair and do my natural curls, it's going to look amazing. She checked in with me to make sure that the color was what I wanted and when the first time wasn't as vibrant as I wanted she helped me adjust until I was satisfied. Honestly this was the greatest experience I've had this year, if not my whole life with hair. The shop is also gorgeous and immaculate and I know whenever I have any hair-related needs I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so much wonderful staff at Bloom and especially Krista! You absolutely made my year.

I highly recommend Lia! She was very responsive, organized, friendly, kind, easy to get along with,…read moretalented, and professional since our very first correspondence. The fact that Lia was even able to meet me at 4:30 a.m. so that I could be ready by 7:30 a.m. for my elopement at SF city hall spoke volumes about her. Being a bride who has very minimal experience with getting my hair and make-up done, I was a bit skeptical at first about whether I really needed to have a three hour appointment, but in the end, I think it's incredibly wonderful that Lia carves out three hours to work with her brides. It turns out that it was the perfect amount of time for Lia to do all of the following: confirm the look I want to have for my wedding, set up, do my hair, apply make-up, give me stretch breaks, clean up, and have some time to spare. Even though I opted out of a hair and make-up trial, Lia certainly knew how to deliver. Her artistry, expertise, and skills are all to be admired. She was also very patient and willing to answer any questions I had throughout the hair & makeup process, and made me feel beautiful and confident for the eventful day to come. Lia also went above and beyond and helped me into my wedding dress, which was no easy feat! You see, it had a corset back, and neither of us ever laced up a corset wedding gown before. With the help of some Youtube videos, Lia got me into the dress like a pro. This meant so much to me, because if it weren't for her, it would have been much harder to do a first look with my fiance before we took off to SF city hall together. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better person to get me ready for my big day, and would recommend Beauty by Lia to friends and family without hesitation. Thank you so much Lia!

I loved that I still felt like myself in all makeup and hair looks by her, just like a really glamorous version. I was able to fully relax in the hair and makeup chair each time because I knew I could fully trust Nikki's skill and artistry. She was even able to handle some very complicated hair jewelry for my family's, in-law's and my traditional Pakistani outfits. I would recommend her with confidence to any bride!

Before starting, I clearly explained to Chris that with my hair texture, blow drying alone would not be sufficient and that a flat iron was necessary. Despite this, he disregarded my concern and only blow dried my hair. On top of that, he left midway through the appointment to get something to eat, which was very unprofessional. Thankfully, Sam stepped in to help. She straightened my roots and curled my hair, and she did a great job fixing what she could. However, since the rest of my hair was never properly flat ironed, it became curly and frizzy again shortly after I arrived at my event. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. Long story short, Marissa reached out to me, saying the manager keilani will reach out to me and make it right, never heard from anyone and when I attempted to reach out crickets.
