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.

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!

Florist here! I had to write a review on Cynthia's beautiful work on one of my brides whose wedding…read morewas this weekend at Anaheim Hills Country Club. 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.

Their online booking system was very straightforward and easy to book, and I was able to book a "Hollywood Waves" session with Nicole. It was nice that they offered the $45 price without hair wash. It's a small shop located inside the Colonnade Mall on South Lake Ave. You can park in the parking lot in the back and it's located on the bottom floor of the Mall. Nicole was very sweet and I showed her a few pictures of inspiration. I liked that she listened to what I wanted, I had mentioned that my hair tends to frizz when I have curls so I'm glad she was able to tame my hair so it didn't at the end. Nicole is very talented and she made the experience so relaxing, and it seemed so easy to make my hair so beautiful.

She keeps it real and doesn't try to sell you anything you don't need like the trending glass toners on Tik tok.

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!

Writing this under a pseudonym~…read more I had a mixed experience at Kelly Zhang Makeup & Hair Studio. When I first arrived, I made eye contact with Kelly while she was speaking with the receptionist, but there was no greeting or acknowledgment from her -- just a brief glance. It wasn't the warmest welcome... The makeup artist I worked with was competent enough, but there were some communication issues. I specifically mentioned that eyeshadow tends to smudge on me, hoping she'd use techniques or products to prevent that. Unfortunately, it seemed like she didn't really take that concern into account. When the smudging inevitably happened (after I had left the studio), she told me to use my saliva to wipe it off. The final result was fine -- I looked like myself, but not the elevated "me, but better" version I realized was lacking afterward. The studio itself was clean and organized, and the service was completed in a reasonable timeframe!

My make up artist was not in the unit so I called their remote receptionist who informed me that the artist will be right there to open the door. The artist called me to inform me that she didn't come because she was unsure if her schedule started at 8:45 or 10:30. Instead of verifying her start time with management she didn't show up. Since the artist is coming from the Westside I would have to wait for nearly 90 minutes before she starts the appointment. I won't be calling them back. I had to do my own make up for my event. On an upside, they're remote receptionist is very responsive. So I give them an extra star for decent customer service.

The shampoo and scalp massage alone are worth the visit--so relaxing and indulgent. The salon carries fantastic Oribe products, and the space itself is always spotless, calm, and beautifully maintained. I also love the lounge area, the great music, and the thoughtful touches like coffee and drinks. Plus, easy parking makes it all the more convenient. I highly recommend Union Salon--such a gem.

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 would definitly recommend her and go back to her as my hairstylist!
