I am a June 2023 bride. My biggest worry in trying to find a Hair & MUA for my wedding was: I…read morewanted to have a natural/soft glam style of makeup for my wedding day AND I have Asian features and haven't had the best experience with Western makeup styles and products. There are only a handful of vendors that meet these requirements, but I was so happy when I came across Christy K. When I had my trial, I could tell Christy was very knowledgable and provided excellent recommendations given that I was a very lost bride with almost no clue what direction I wanted to go for my makeup. On the day of the wedding, we had a very limited time window with 7 ladies who needed to get ready. Christy and her team not only got us ready with beautiful makeup & hair, but also finished much faster than the timeline we had previously discussed! And therefore, we had more time to do other wedding related activities. Her rates were also very reasonable. We received many compliments of how beautiful, yet natural we looked! There is one special thing I wanted to note about Christy and team. I had an outfit change from my Western bridal dress into my Chinese qipao. The makeup style for these two outfits can sometimes be very different - and if not done correctly, I wouldn't have looked as good in one or the other. However, the way Christy and her hairstylist did my hair and makeup worked perfectly with both outfits. Incredible talent! I don't always like how I look in photos and videos, but the way Christy and her team got us ready (as well as the few photo sneak previews) has me so excited for the upcoming photos and videos! I am so grateful for Christy K and team for making me look and beautiful on my wedding day! If you're looking for a top-notch makeup and hair artist that specializes in Asian features, I highly recommend Christy and team!

Warning, don't try booking Christy if you value your time or professionalism. My wife and I booked…read morea photography date and then sent the attached email to Christy to confirm the day and time window. When we contacted Christy again to finalize the exact time, she had told us that she booked another client. This meant we had to scramble to find another makeup artist for the date we already set with the photographer. Christy claims she didn't confirm the date stating that her first email says "-Booking is confirmed till contract signed." She may want to learn to proof read because I don't think she realizes she wrote the opposite of her claim. She could also have been more professional to check back with us before booking someone else if she really wasn't sure that we would continue our originally schedule date with her.

I have visited the salon for my wedding hair and make-up application. It was such a wonderful…read moreexperience that I have working with both Ashley and Lauren. The make-up looks flawless and stunning on my special day. Somehow, I have ordered the wrong hair extensions type (tape-on) from Amazon (instead of clip-on). The amount also not enough as well. Luckily, she had an extra clip-on with exact color and was able to let me use it. I really appreciated how Lauren had went above and beyond to make sure the clip-on and tape-on blend well together. Couple days after, I went to get the extensions removed. The process to remove them was also not painful as I thought also.

The location itself is gorgeous and has such a welcoming vibe, which made the whole experience even better. Lauren was absolutely wonderful--so sweet and genuinely welcoming. She took the time to make me feel comfortable and gave me the most amazing blowout! I left feeling refreshed, confident, and so happy with the results. Highly recommend Seattle Beauty Boss if you're looking for a beautiful space, great service, and a stylist who truly cares about her clients. I'll definitely be back!

TL;DR: Do NOT book with her…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience and feel obligated to warn others. I booked this hair and makeup artist last year for my August 2026 wedding and paid a deposit to secure my date. Everything seemed fine at the time of booking, but when I reached out in January to schedule my trial, I received no response. I followed up multiple times over the course of four months via email, text, and phone calls--ignored every time. My wedding planner also attempted to contact her on my behalf, with no success. At this point, it is clear this is not a case of a missed message or temporary delay--Yessie ghosted me as a client. Because of this, I was forced to find and book a new hair and makeup artist under time pressure, adding unnecessary stress during what is already a busy planning period. To make matters worse, I never received my deposit back. For other future brides out there, please do not let Yessie scam you. Taking a client's deposit and then completely disappearing without any communication or services rendered is unacceptable.

I checked out her Instagram and loved all her work ! I reached out to Her thru email and she replied to my emails promptly and we were all set up.

I would hire Kat again in a HEARTBEAT to do my wedding hair and makeup. She is absolutely…read moreincredible to work with. She spent 4 hours on my trial and tried two totally separate styles because I really couldn't decide how I wanted to do my hair. She listened to exactly what I wanted in terms of makeup and never made me feel pressured or anxious about it. I know that during the wedding planning process, I was a little unsure because her social media presence is less than some of her peers (and I wanted to see photos) - but seriously, do.not.worry. You are in the best of hands. My bridal party looked incredible thanks to Kat and her team - do yourself a favor and book them. And if Kat's skills weren't enough - wow, she is just a lovely human being. She is so calm and grounded and was just a wonderful person to spend time with. I can't recommend her enough.

She is so sweet--I actually forgot my veil at home and she offered to go get it for me (that's a 30 minute drive each way!) while we did our first look!! She did my hair and makeup, including the flower arrangement in my hair, put on my husband and his best man's bout and even zipped up my dress! I'm going to post a few photos because honestly, they speak for themselves--I couldn't be happier with how my hair and makeup looked that day! Thanks so much, Kat!

Olivia did a great job on my makeup look!!…read more Here's why: 1) She is patient, attentive and professional (she will call out products that would work better for the next time around since it was a trial) 2) Spotless and organised makeup station, tools and products - no worries on cross contamination or bad hygiene. Extremely meticulous! 3) Knowledgeable in products, colours and techniques Final note - most importantly the outcome! Simply gorgeous!!! She has a great sense of what beauty is and should look like and will definitely give you a transformation!!

I had a not so great experience with the first makeup artist I contacted about services for my…read morerecent wedding, and was feeling a bit discouraged. Then, I found Olivia through Yelp with her 5-star reviews, and from the first contact everything has been AMAZING! Olivia responded quickly, was so organized and friendly and I felt so much more comfortable right away with her. My wedding day unknowingly aligned with a demonstration march through downtown Seattle. Our hotel was right in the thick of it and all the roads around it were closed down by police. However, Olivia miraculously made it right on time and even told me she had to run through the marchers with her makeup suitcase in order to get to our hotel!!! I booked Olivia to do my own bridal makeup along with makeup for my sister and mother. She took her time to make sure that we all loved our looks, while still being very efficient. Having not done a makeup trial with her first (I live out of state), I'm so impressed that Olivia totally NAILED the look I had envisioned, based on some examples I'd pulled from Pinterest and sent her the week before. Olivia even left me with a small gift containing a tiny size of the same lipstick she'd used and a matte powder with puff for touch-ups. I felt beautifully glamorous and the makeup stayed all night, including lots of crying. ;) I highly recommend Olivia!! She's just the sweetest thing and a true artist.

A special shoutout to Caleigh, who did my autistic sister's makeup. She was so sweet and understanding, allowing my sister to take breaks when she felt overwhelmed, and I am sincerely thankful for her patience. I highly recommend Jess and her team for your wedding makeup!

If I could give him a million stars, I would! My hair was two toned, my natural dark blonde roots…read moreand the rest was almost a brassy/yellow color. I had dyed my hair red for a long time and the previous person I went to made me blonde for $500, but it turned out yellow and the roots were still red, it was awful! That's an example of someone who tells you that they can achieve a lighter color in one setting. I wish she had told me she couldn't do it or that I would need more sessions, which is usually the case when you're going lighter unless you want to murder your hair with bleach. So I walked into Alfonso's and told him that I didn't know exactly what I wanted but I told him exactly what I didn't want, and he made a masterpiece! I told him that I just wanted my hair to look pretty natural, be on the darker side instead of blonde, and something to look nice while my natural grows out, so he didn't touch my roots at all. He gave me a bunch of options for what I wanted, some permanent and some not so permanent. I told him whatever He thinks will look the best and He made my look beautiful! He added some partial darker peices and toned all of the yellow into the same color as my roots so that my hair would blend and have dimension. It looks absolutely beautiful! My face looks so much brighter and youthful! He also did an amazing cut, just some thinning, a trim and long layers that are perfect for my square face shape. It has taken me 2 years since moving to Seattle to find a great hair stylist and now I will never go anywhere except Alfonso's! Also, the parking is very easy. As long as you dont park in front of the Groove coffee shop, you won't get towed. Alfonso also texts a map of how to get there before the appointment because he knows it can be confusing! He is truly the bestx

I booked Jara for my bridal make up back in September 2013…read more I did a lot of research, looking through hundreds of local artists' pictures in my area before I came across Jara's website. I loved her style!!!! I called and made a trial appointment with Jara. Once I see the magic she did, I was sold! She was friendly and made me feel comfortable during the trial, also she made sure to follow my requests on what I want on each detail (my eye shadow, my lashes, etc.). but she's not shy to tell you what you want might not bring out your best features. She's also very professional and understanding. I love that she was on-time even though she had to be at my house at 5:30 AM to get ready for me and my whole bridal party. I have recommended her to several of my friends who were getting married. She's simply amazing!!!!

Jara! You are fantastic!!…read more Decided somewhat last minute to get my makeup professionally done for our June wedding. I'd never had my makeup done, so knew very little of even what to say...darkening my eyebrows? Fake lashes? What? Lucky for me, Jara is an absolute pro and a total hoot. I was so comfortable during my trial and absolutely loved the way I looked on our wedding day. My new husband damn near fell over when he saw me. My mom and sister looked incredible too, and Jara even managed to convince my normally zero-makeup best friend to wear a bit for the wedding, and we were one good-looking gaggle of gals. The little makeup kit was just what I needed for minor touch-ups, but the majority of the makeup held up incredibly well, even through tears, lots of kissing (wedding day, after all!), and a lot of dancing to Michael Jackson and the Boss. Jara made me feel at ease and comfortable, and even made me laugh during my pre-wedding jitters. I really loved working with her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
