Jira is the absolute BESTEST! She's done my hair and make up for special occasions several times now, and her talent is truly unmatched. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and creativity are unmatched. Whether it's a soft natural look or full glam, she absolutely delivers every single time. My hair and makeup always come out flawless and last all day and night. Beyond her talent, she is also such a warm, kind, and genuine person, which makes the experience even better. read more

I got my makeup done here and the quality was not good. The products used were wet and wild for foundation and low end products. You are in Burlingame so I was expecting better quality products used for a professional makeup appointment.!My eyeliner was not good and my eyelashes were curled after being placed. My makeup was rushed and you could tell. I had to redo my whole entire makeup prior to the event. I had to go to Sephora and apply different eyelashes as I was short on time. It was a disaster. I will not be going back and will not put my picture on this review because I am embarrassed on how bad it was. I was contacted via text message and told the services were rushed. I informed them I would not have paid for the service but had no choice and paid. I was asked to remove this review in order to get 50% money back. I said no this is important that other people see these reviews when booking appointments on their special day. The information listed below by the owner is incorrect. I was not informed I would only get 30 minutes for a makeup that sounds incorrect. Also to correct dark circles you need to add corrector. No high end makeup was offered at all. Every product used was cheap. The owner refuses to accept this review. Also my friend who went after me had the same experience and had to re do her makeup prior to the event. Save yourself from ruining ur special day and shop wisely when getting your makeup done on your special day. It really can ruin it for you. I was told that if I remove the posting I could get 50% back. If not she would not work with me as she did her job. I would not call this a professional makeup appointment. read more

Since my last visit for a haircut, I knew I wanted to color my hair with Jira because of how much trust and confidence I have in her work. When I came in, I was a little unsure about which color to go for since it had been a long time since I last colored my hair. I was torn between going for a brown or a bronde shade, I wanted something that would brighten my overall look and bring more light to my face. Jira listened carefully to what I wanted, offered her honest suggestions, and helped me choose the perfect shade that would complement my skin tone and style. She did highlights and balayage on my hair, and the result was absolutely stunning. I love how natural and dimensional the color looks. it completely transformed my hair while still maintaining a soft, effortless look. The blend of tones is beautiful, and it truly enhanced my overall appearance. What stood out the most was Jira's attention to detail and how much care she put into the entire process. She took her time to make sure everything was done perfectly, and it really shows in the final result. The pricing was very reasonable and completely worth it, especially given the quality of her work and the amount of time she dedicated to achieving the look I wanted. Jira genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy with the outcome. She is kind, professional, and truly talented. The other staff members at the salon are also very welcoming and helpful, which makes the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. I can't recommend Jira enough,she's simply the best! -Sagarika read more

Here I'm again love this place!!. I recently visited Jira salon and I'm so impressed with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, stylish, and relaxing, which made me feel comfortable. Jira really took the time to listen to what I wanted and gave great advice about what would suit my hair type and face shape. The haircut/color came out even better than I imagined -- smooth, shiny, and perfectly styled. You can tell they truly care about quality and detail.Also, the price is respectable. Overall, I'd give Jira salon a 5/5 -- professional service, talented stylists, and a welcoming vibe. I'll definitely be coming back for my next appointment! read more

Jira is a master of her craft and so are the other stylists in her salon! I came here with my bridesmaids to get our hair and makeup done for my wedding day. There had been a slight miscommunication with the start time for the day, but Jira quickly remedied this and still got us out the door on time! We were also allowed to utilize a small break area to store snacks and champagne while we got our hair and makeup done. Overall, it was a wonderful time. My updo held all night, even with lots of dancing, and we all left the salon looking and feeling fabulous! I will definitely go to Jira in the future should another event call for it. read more

This is the 2nd time that I've gone and seen Jira to do my hair and makeup for big celebrations. She's very accommodating, quick to respond, and listens very well. I come having some ideas, showing pictures of my dress and my vision, but still I allow her creativity to flow. I let her decide as she knows what's best and would look best. She pays attention to you and at the same time is still aware of how her staff and clients are doing. I will definitely come back and recommend her. Thank you so much, Jira, for making me look so pretty. Best wishes on your business. read more

Jira Salon - Meet Jira - Makeup Artists Near Me - Burlingame, California

I came here for wedding hair and makeup session. Jira is very communicative and nice. I'm a bit split because we had a mixed experience. There are different hair and makeup artists. I loved my sister's makeup and I thought my makeup was maybe just okay (I was the bride). I do not recommend this salon if you have curly hair. I'm a bit disappointed because I had read good reviews for wedding hair and makeup so we went here for the mom of groom and bride and the bride. My mother in law ended up taking the makeup completely off because she was so unhappy with it. And she also washed and redid her hair. She also did not like the hairstyle that exposed her thinning hair. Her experience was negative. The foundation color didn't match her skin tone and made her look older. She was so unhappy. My sister had a good experience with her makeup. They fixed some parts of her hair that were messed up after my mom noticed some strands falling out. The makeup got splotchy because she has dryer skin but it wasn't too noticeable. I came with curly hair and had read the instructions sent to me that mentioned no oil in the hair beforehand and also for curly hair folks going for a smoother look, that you need to straighten it out. I didn't want a straightened look but have done my hair and makeup at different weddings and they were able to even use a curling iron on my natural curls. Here though, the hair artist left my hair very dry and puffy and I had to go home to do my hair since they didn't know how to do it. They told me I hadn't read the instructions and that I had to have product. Another staff member mentioned it would take 1.5 hour to straighten my hair then make curls. I've had my hair done by other hair artists, they have also done different hair style types using my natural curls. At this salon, they didn't have products for curly hair either so I was surprised and disappointed that they didn't know how to work with curly hair. I was so disappointed to have to go home to finish my hair right before my wedding. I think it was hard because it seemed like they didn't want to try to make my hair look nice. Like they left it puffy and dry looking. My mom had to ask if they had anything to make it look shiny. She said they didn't... Overall I wish we had a better experience. I know the staff was trying to help but I guess once I saw they didn't have product and didn't want to make big curls when I asked with the curling iron, I gave up. I tried explaining that you can make big curls to the hair too. I was pretty frustrated at that point. My mom and sister were happy with their results. Bride and mother of the groom were not. So that's why our experience seemed mixed. read more

I started going to Jira in 2021, when I needed someone to do my hair and makeup for our engagement photos last-minute. I showed her photos of the venue as well as my dress color, and shared some inspo photos for hair. I was so blown away by her quality of work (and also reasonable pricing) that I didn't even have to think twice about booking her for the wedding events. My friends and family members also loved Jira's work at the events - she is FAST with makeup and also keeps it feeling light. Nobody wants that cakey makeup or feeling like their skin can't breathe. She is an expert at using minimal product while accentuating your best facial features. Jira really understands how different hair and makeup styles will work in different settings/lighting, and on different people. She works closely with her team to ensure consistency as far as looks/styling for a given group. I fully trust her to do whatever she recommends to make me look and feel my best for special occasions. And I have never had to wonder if "my makeup still looks good" throughout the night, which is a huge bonus - it allows me to fully enjoy myself during events! I've recommended Jira and her team to friends and family, and everyone has been very satisfied. In addition to her quality of work, she is extremely professional and exceptional with communication. I continue to go to her regularly for other services that she offers at the salon, as well as other one-off hair/makeup needs. She is THE BEST. read more

I've been going to Jira for highlights and haircuts, and she's consistently amazing and very sweet. She really listens to what I want, the color always turns out beautiful, and my haircut lays so nicely. I get compliments on my hair all the time.

Jira was so nice and patient with me as I explained to her my situation.

I always recommend Jira and her artists for my wedding clients. As a wedding planner, it's invaluable to have vendor partners who are reliable, responsive, and professional and Jira and her team are exactly all of those things. She's very reasonable, flexible, and really works with every client to meet their needs. She responds so quickly and efficiently, I love partnering with her on our clients big day! Thank you Jira for making my job easy! - Adrienne Lee Tickled Events read more

I had my appointment with Jira. She's a really nice person - easy to chat with. If you know what you want exactly in a hair style, then Jira is the person for you. But if you need expert advice on styling like I did, I was disappointed. I did go back for a second cut to give her another chance but was again disappointed. I waited a while to see how my hair would grow out before leaving this review. I didn't like the style she gave me and it drove me nuts every day!! I did get my root touch done and she did this well. The washing station was a bit uncomfortable the way the seat height relative to the wash basin was situated. Parking was relatively easy to find although there's construction in the area. It's metered parking in the area. read more

Jira did makeup for my mom and I for a family wedding. It was very light and natural just like what we wanted. It turned out really nice and we both loved it very much. Jira suggested that I get highlights to give myself a new youthful look and I said why not since my hair is boring anyways so I went for it. I decided to scheduled this appointment a few days later. I'm glad I did because Jira did a great job and I am loving my new hair. She colored my hair, washed/shampooed, trimmed and styled my hair. I liked the color she chose for me and it's pretty visible given the fact I didn't bleach my hair. Overall, I had a pleasant experience with Jira. She is extremely sweet, professional, very detailed, personable/easy to talk to, great at what she does and you can tell she loves her job. I will definitely be back. See you soon Jira! read more

Jira is an incredibly fast and attentive hair dresser and make-up artist! My mom and I came to get our hair and makeup done for my wedding celebration. At first I was quite nervous about the timing and did not think Jira would be able to work on both of us in under 3 hours, but she completely amazed me and did my updo in record speed time. I also give her huge kudos for doing my hair exactly how I wanted - I just showed her an example picture and she worked on me swiftly and flawlessly. She was also very attentive when it came to working on my mom's hair. My mom had brought in her own hair extensions and Jira consulted her on what would look best. She ended up giving my mom a side bun updo which looked incredible on her. I've already decided I'm coming back to get my highlights touched up. Highly recommend Jira! read more

Sooyeon did my hair and makeup trial and my hair and makeup for my wedding day, as well as for my mother and mother in law. If accentuated natural beauty (soft glam) is what you're looking for, she's your girl. She did an AMAZING job on my moms, so much that they were taking selfies together in the suite for hours! It was the cutest. It was my mistake to ask for touch ups for my moms before I got started, as my hair and makeup was a little more rushed (but this was truly on me lol). I felt gorgeous on wedding day and my makeup stayed put throughout all the crying. My hair for my trial was perfect, but because my hair was more rushed (again, my fault lol) my wedding hair didn't last as long against the wind and long night. Am I upset? Absolutely not, it made it to all my photos ;) Sooyeon is super sweet and professional - I personally love the style that she excels at, and if natural to soft glam is what you're looking for, book her!! read more

I did butterfly hair cut. Jira is very professional. I'm very impressed with my hair cut and I'll come back again for my hair cut.

I had a cut and color session with Jira, and I love the result! Jira has done hair for a long time, and was very helpful in giving me what I was looking for from just a single photo, but was also great in giving some suggestions to specifically cater to me (like my face shape, and hair goals). In my case, going from straight to side bangs, and adding a bit of layers for volume. It took 4 hours but I felt very relaxed the whole time. The shop was clean, spacious, the staff wore masks, and water is provided if you'd like some during your service. My hair felt more refreshed and beautiful after the cut and coloring. This was also my first time bleaching, so I was glad the shop also had purple shampoos and other hair care products if you ever need it. Jira is an expert, took care of me well, and knows what she is doing, so I highly recommend her! read more

Her work was satisfied, I looked the way I wanted and my family and friends love it also.

So I thought I didn't need makeup artist for my wedding because I will only have virtual ceremony before the actual celebration...but sure enough, few days before the ceremony I burnt my finger when I tried to practice doing my hair (it's pandemic, been years since I did my hair) so I decided to find a makeup artist last minute. I called so many vendors, and they were either fully booked, or unreasonably expensive the moment they hear "wedding" and "bride" even though I said I don't need a real wedding makeup (not sure what's the difference except the price tbh, I'm no expert). I came across Wowpretty and Jira picked up my call, she gave me an earful for not booking in advance like other brides would (in a friendly way, no hard feeling at all) and she gave me a reasonable price. There was a little bit scheduling issue because she tried to fit me into her full schedule but we luckily we were able to find the time before my wedding. She is really talented, hardworking, understanding, friendly, and willing to communicate. She asked me if I have any model or sample that she wants me to copy, and she made it just like that! I'd surely recommend her and will go back again (although, hopefully, not for another wedding ceremony but for another events). She has a full service salon and real estate too! It's definitely a one stop for all! read more

At Jira's it's magical.Her attention to detail was amazing, and the final result was stunning! Whether you need makeup for a special event, photoshoot, or just a personal makeover, I highly recommend her. She uses high-quality products and ensures everything stays in place all day/evening. I loved how natural the look was. Plus, she's super personable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the process. read more

I live in south bay and have been happily going to Jira for my haircuts for the last 15 years since my wedding day! I have full, thick Asian hair and other stylists in the past have gently complained to me about it. I've had haircuts that made me look like a mushroom at the end because they really want to take volume out of my hair by thinning it and my hair rebels by poofing up. Jira had done my hair and makeup for my wedding day and has no problems not only wrangling my thick hair but making it look and feel like it's an asset instead of something to manage. She has been doing this for decades now and her work speaks -- check out all the happy brides and customers she's had over the year! A good hair stylist is a gem when you find her, and I highly recommend Jira to anyone looking for a wonderful haircut and haircut cutting experience! read more

I was looking for a last-minute makeup artist for my engagement photoshoot and I was calling anyone I could find in the area. I connected with Jira by chance and I am SO glad that I did. She's a talented artist and a great person overall. One of my favorite things about Jira is that she actually listens to you and wants YOU to be happy and respects your wants. I was so happy with her work and her professionalism that I had her and her team do my makeup and my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding last February. THANK YOU JIRA read more

Jira made me feel comfortable and really took the time to understand the type of make-up I wanted on me. She was also fun to talk to, since she wanted to know the person who she was putting make-up on. I'm the type who doesn't usually put make-up, so the end result of Jira's work on my face and hair was astonishing!! The salon was also quite clean as well as their bathroom. read more

Jira is incredibly talented, understanding, and friendly, with excellent communication skills. She did the hair and makeup for my bridal party and me, and we all loved the results. She asked for sample styles I liked and recreated them perfectly! I would highly recommend her and will definitely return for future events and formal occasions. Her full-service salon is fantastic, and the other stylists are wonderful as well. It's truly a one-stop shop for all your beauty needs. I'm so happy I found her! Jira was super responsive before booking and an absolute pleasure to work with. Upon arriving at the salon, I was greeted and seated immediately. I can't recommend her services enough--she's simply the best. read more

JIRA was very nice and did a great job on my hair. I really enjoyed the conversation. The salon is also very nice. I think the only thing I would change is the transparency in the actual price of service. The prices say they don't include shampoo - which for most people getting color done doesn't make since, as my logic tells me that it is necessary for color to be rinsed out. Although it was explained to me after. I had a full highlight and I did think $130 was way too good to be true when seeing the price set- not realizing just having it rinsed out and shampooed was an additional cost. ( even though the pricing states that) anyways , JIRA is AMAZING ! She did such a great job and I learned some Thing new today - that some people choose to go home and shampoo the chemicals out themselves to save money. I can see why she charges extra for her shampoo as it involves a scalp massage with product and feels great. Despite that little mix up I give five stars because it is great to find such a genuine person who is a hair perfectionist. read more

I had an amazing experience getting hair and makeup done with Jira here. I set up an appointment easily by phone and Jira provided tons of photos of her past work for me to look through and find inspiration. I had never gotten hair and makeup done before so I was a little nervous when I arrived at the appointment, but Jira took one look at my inspo photos for a natural look and knew EXACTLY what I was looking for. She got right to work on my makeup and gave me flawless skin, and natural lash, and a beautiful brown eye shadow look. When it came to hair, Jira actually understood what I wanted even better than I did myself, if that's possible. I showed her some photos, and Jira was able to suggest something and show photos of something a little more loose and textured which is exactly why I wanted but couldn't express. We were done in exactly two hours just as Jira said we would be, and I honestly couldn't be happier. I will definitely be back!! read more

I took my daughter to get her hair done for her 16th birthday party. We paid $125.00 for an updo, cut and wash. The entire experience was fantastic! The salon is beautiful and modern. Jira was so kind and had such a great sense of humor. We'll definitely go back to her for regular maintenance and special occasions. Thank you, Jira for such a wonderful experience! read more

I had my wedding makeup and hair done here. I did a makeup trial that I was happy with. I was going to have an appointment at Halo for a blowout because I wanted a simple blowout, not an updo. However, Jira convinced me that she could do my blowout to avoid my having to go to two separate locations on my wedding day. It was my mistake not doing a hair trial but I figured it was just a blowout after all. The first strange thing was she told me to wash my hair at home, otherwise I would be charged extra to have it washed in the salon. She immediately starts drying my hair without putting any smoothing or heat protectant product in, and she dries it very roughly. And then she starts curling it. At this point I'm very concerned because I had requested a blowout not curls. And without product and/or pulling it with a brush during the blow drying, I'm worried my hair will be very frizzy. At the end I ended up with frizzy curls that no amount of hairspray could fix. My sister was constantly trying to smooth out my hair throughout the wedding and photos, and I'm sad about how my wedding pictures turned out. A few months later I went to Halo to get a blowout for work photos and my hair turned out beautifully. I really regret going to Jira / Wowpretty for my hair. I think a salon like this should be capable of doing a simple blowout, especially considering how much I paid! Edit: Jira has posted my identifying information, which I have asked her to remove. I notice she has done this on several negative reviews (but not positive reviews), and I think it may be an intimidation tactic to encourage people to remove negative reviews. I reported this to Yelp, who removed her response due to it violating Yelp's content guidelines, but she reposted it again with my identifying information. Think twice about supporting this business! read more

I've recommended Jira for my clients wedding for more than 4 occasions. Each time she has been, patient kind and responsive. Not many artist will do trials, but Jira had not hesitated to do so personally or with a member of of her team that will show up on the wedding day. She helps me support my clients who are very discerning, feel heard and takes trial feedback well. She is a business who is also Queer/ LGBT+ welcoming. Highly recommend read more

I got trial bridal make up done with Jira for a mini photoshoot. So glad to have found her! Jira was super responsive prior to booking and she was so pleasant to work with. Once I got to the salon, I was greeted and seated right away. Everyone is masked and the environment felt comfortable. I showed her the style I wanted and make up inspirations on my phone. Once we agreed on the style, she worked magic without minimal guidance. The end result was spectacular and i was very happy with the outcome. I highly recommend her for her services. read more

I have done my makeup with Jira for my wedding and now going back for my hair. Love her work!

I got my hair and makeup for my wedding through Jira and Sooyeon! I did a trial a few weeks prior, which I highly recommend. You may think you want one particular hairstyle or makeup look, but then when you try it out, it's not executed as desired. I'm glad I did the trial, and figured out what I wanted before the big day! I had Jira do my bride hair and makeup. I was extremely pleased with the way it looked. I specifically chose her because it seems that she specializes in Asian make up - which may not matter to some, or may not be what others want, but it's what I wanted. I also wanted that elegant, timeless, romantic look, which is exactly what I got!! I really appreciated her helpful tips and advice on what looks good, what wouldn't work for my particular hair type (thin, short). Her makeup and hair on me was flawless the day of!!! She does airbrush makeup, and also does hair extensions if you want. Sooyeon was her assistant, who did the hair and makeup for each of my bridesmaids. She did a great job overall, and my bridesmaids were happy with her service. The only reason why I give 4 stars is because the schedule said Sooyeon's arrival time was 6:30am. No one was to be seen at 6:30am, so I texted her to see what the ETA was. Sooyeon texted back "Omg" and "I will be there soon." She ended up arriving at 7am. Jira apologized, and ended up showing up a little early, and squeezed in my mom's makeup to help with the tardy attendance. All the hair and makeup did finish at 11am (instead of projected 10:30am), but it was okay because the photographer allowed for extra time. In the end, it all worked out fine. But I think Jira should have offered a discount of some sort to makeup for the situation. All that was discounted was that they both were dropped off at the hotel, so I didn't have to pay for their parking. I also feel like her website was outdated and difficult to navigate. She has photos from years ago, which were nice, but I wanted to see more recent ones too. Communication wise, she is VERY VERY fast to respond by email or text, which was SO NICE!!!! Literally she will respond within minutes, every time. This was SO helpful!!! Overall I'm very satisfied with the makeup and hair I got for my wedding, and for my bridesmaids, and I would recommend them for you if you want that look! read more

Yay! COVID is over well at last life si back to normal. Truthfully we let our hair go it go but now its time to dress it up. Kay was very happy with her treatment and the price is reasonable too. Until last year we have been coming here for 10 years every 4 months and Jira is absolutely fantastic. She is always professional and runs a very clean studio. She is very friendly and every conversation is informative. A few of my friends have said their hair stylist didn't make the pandemic. So I decided to write a review so I can just dig this up. Be safe and look good! read more
