Grace and her team were exceptional for my bridal party and me during my wedding last June. I was…read morelucky to work with Olivia from the studio, who helped me during my trial session and during my wedding day. She was communicative throughout both processes, always checking in to make sure that I was happy with the results. She also gave me great make up and skincare tips during my trial to help me feel my best during the wedding day. Grace's team's aesthetic is focused on a soft glam look, which made my bridal party and me feel like a done up version of ourselves. The looks also held up well despite having our wedding be on a hot June day in SoCal. Would absolutely go back to Grace's team for future makeup needs!

I came across Grace Lin through Yelp and noticed a few of my friends follow her on Instagram. 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!

Booking and communication was easy and seamless- shout out to Caroline for making the whole process smooth and stress-free! I communicated with Caroline through email to select an artist, schedule a trial and the wedding day, and etc.! She was so patient with me when I didn't have specific details, and never made me feel rushed or frazzled. The artist I ended up going with was Kirsten, and I could not be happier! She was so kind and warm, and she's so good at what she does. Seriously, no notes because the end results made me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt :') 1000% recommend Kelly Zhang Studio for your hair and make up needs!

I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than on the day of my wedding. Valarie did an…read moreAMAZING job on my hair and makeup. Booking: booking with Kelly Zhang studios was very easy and straightforward. The packet that they send you is very transparent on the cost of service. My communication with Nancy was punctual and professional. It was also very easy to pay for my services, with reminders of deadlines. Pre-wedding: I did do a makeup and hair trial with Valarie a few months prior to the wedding. It isn't included in the wedding packages, however, I am so grateful I did it because it gave me time to discuss with Val what makeup and hair looks I wanted/liked and how they'd compliment the vibe of my wedding/wedding dress. And also a second day in my life where I felt absolutely gorgeous. Would highly recommend spending some extra money for this. Val was receptive to my feedback and accepted the fact that I was not very adept at makeup/not used to it. She took that in stride and somehow created the vision I wanted, but way better. I teared up the day of my trial imagining self walking down the aisle. Val was also so friendly, it was easy to open up to her and we just talked for 3 hours about everything!! It made it so non-awkward and I really appreciated that. Day of: Val did hair and makeup for myself and 2 other people, one being my mom. My mom, who does not normally wear makeup and is picky about her makeup, could not stop gushing about how beautiful she felt and how flawless her skin looked. Val absolutely nailed it. My sister, who often does her own makeup and was nervous about having someone else do it, was also stunned by Val's makeup and hair. For me, I literally tell my husband everyday that I'll never be that beautiful again. My skin was flawless, and I have a few scars from prior acne, but my base didn't feel caked on. It felt light and natural. My makeup lasted all night, with a few touch ups of powder and lipstick that Val provided me. I definitely cried the waterworks and my makeup did not smudge at all!! My updo lasted until the very end after I had been on my dance floor for 2.5 hours straight. Post wedding: no breakouts! My initial pictures taken by guests made me look stunning (and these aren't even the professional ones!) Would highly recommend Val and Kelly Zhang studios. They are professional, listen to your desires, but also are willing to take some creative direction if you aren't a pro in makeup or hair. If you want to feel absolutely gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, radiant, and beyond satisfied with your hair and makeup, go with Val & Kelly Zhang studios! Will absolutely be asking Val for all my professional makeup needs in the future!

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!

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 cannot rave enough about Cynthia! She did makeup for my mom and I the morning of my wedding, and…read moreshe absolutely exceeded our expectations! My makeup was flawless, with the perfect balance of glam and natural. I felt so beautiful and confident the entire day. My makeup also lasted all night long without a single touch-up needed. Cynthia made my mom look stunning as well; we both felt like the best versions of ourselves. Beyond her artistry, she was warm, patient, and such a calming presence on my wedding morning. Cynthia is also an excellent communicator and responsive to questions and discussing ideas for various looks. If you're looking for someone who listens, delivers, and truly elevates your whole experience, she's the one. I couldn't recommend her more!

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.

After I submitted an inquiry form, she reached out almost immediately and offered to schedule a call to really understand my vision and hair goals. My wedding was fast approaching, but Theresa made me feel completely supported and pampered throughout the entire process. Her responsiveness, professionalism, and genuine care truly set the tone for such a positive experience. I was paired with Isela for my hair, and I'm so grateful I was connected with her. She is incredibly talented and has such a warm, fun, and personable presence which is so welcomed on such an important weekend. We did a trial together where we tested the wedding day look-- it was so helpful and kind that she made herself available for this on such short notice. She created a gorgeous updo for my rehearsal dinner, and on the wedding day she styled my hair in the most beautiful soft glam waves. She made me feel completely at ease because it was clear she is a highly skilled professional. She was also very open to my feedback--like switching between a side part and a middle part--and adapted quickly to make sure everything felt perfect. My mom and bridesmaids also had their hair done, and everyone looked stunning. Isela was so fun and lovely during our getting ready process which set the fine for a fun wedding day. We received so many compliments all night long! Thank you so much to Theresa and Isela for making me feel so beautiful and cared for. I truly can't thank you enough for helping make my wedding weekend so special!! I hope to work together in the future!

Turns out she grew and just opened a salon in Pasadena! I was beyond thrilled. The studio is gorgeous, modern, SEXY and there are multiple beauty services offered. I think nails, blowouts, and hydra facials are queued up for later this year as new additions. Tash is not only talented, she's an excellent conversationalist and full of fun and sass. She makes you feel very welcomed. But brows....so you're not supposed to be in the sun that much. Every artist has a problem child though, right? I was baking myself all over Italy and France, for two summers. They definitely got faded. I should've been back for my touch-ups but got lazy. Tash was still able to work with my brows but it was treated more as a new service again, more than fair. We even redesigned my hair strokes as my taste has changed slightly. My tails have always been thin so she added the hair strokes I wanted there. The numbing cream is strong though you will feel some of it; it's manageable and goes by quickly. I'm in LOVE with the results! Super natural for effortless daily beauty routines. Highly recommend seeing Tash for brow expertise and excited to try other stuff here.

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.
