Highly recommend Kristie for your bridal hair and makeup needs! Got tons of compliments on my big wedding day thanks to Kristie. She is so nice and did such great work on me. I especially thought the hair updo was well done as my friends said it was impressive. I was doing Chinese style and she accommodated putting in hairpins that I bought. She also provides great recommendations. Also, very on time with her work. Both my engagement photos (her trial session) and actual wedding day had the job done exactly within two hours. And arrived on time to travel to our hotel location and venue on the wedding day with her whole makeup and hair workstation ready to go. Fast work so she knows what she is doing and well. Plus covered up active acne I had well. Overall can't thank her enough for the help she provided! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience! Kristie was incredibly accommodating and agreed to do my hair at 5AM so I could make it to my elopement in Santa Barbara by 10AM. She created the perfect casual updo that was exactly what I had envisioned - elegant, effortless, and it stayed beautiful throughout the day. The hairstyle complemented my traditional Thai wedding outfit perfectly, and I received so many compliments. She finished within an hour, which made our morning completely stress-free and allowed us to leave for our ceremony as planned. I highly recommend Kristie. Thank you so much for helping make our special day so memorable! read more

I am so happy I found Kristie! She did an amazing job on my hair and makeup for an important gala. She has great vision, attention to detail, and is professional and easy to chat with. She took time to understand what my dress looked like, asked questions, and made recommendations, which I'm glad I trusted. The end result was an elegant romantic updo with a dusty rose soft glam. I received a lot of compliments and will definitely come back to Kristie! Her studio is next to the mall, easily accessible, and with lots of parking! 10/10! read more

OMG you guys -- Kristie was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. I thought long and hard about choosing a good HMU artist for my wedding day. There was a lot of pressure for me to choose wisely! I had a bad experience with another HMU artist so I was afraid but Kristie was so nice and took into account exactly what I wanted. I told her that the prior HMU artist covered up my features rather than accentuate them, and the eyeshadow was heavy so it made me sleepy. WHY I LOVED KRISTIE: - She took into account what I wanted -- and reassured me that she would do that. Not only did she deliver, but she exceeded expectations. I've never loved my makeup so much in my entire life. Everyone called me a princess, and I personally felt that way too. - She knows ASIAN makeup. She did things like natural lashes, cut them up into small pieces for a more natural effect, double eyelid tape, and even mascara to cover up some white hairs. My eyes became so bright and all of my features were gorgeous. - She is kind and thoughtful! I felt so comfortable with her throughout the day. She knows what's best for you and I can trust that she will deliver perfectly on the special day. I have absolutely no complaints about Kristie, and I can't wait to have her glam me up for even more events in the future! read more

I found Kristie on Yelp, but I communicated with her via email at first. Then leading up to the wedding date, we were texting. I helped plan a wedding, and the bride decided to hire Kristie to take care of the mothers and the bridesmaids. Kristie courteously agreed even though she did mention she handles mostly brides. The location was outside of Temple City, so there was a travel fee. Leading up to the wedding, there was one hiccup that caused me so much anxiety. All the girls were asking me what time to show up, but I literally didn't have an answer because Kristie didn't tell me. She was busy and didn't give me the schedule until the night before the wedding. We were scheduled to start at 7 AM because there were 6 of us, but only two people are getting worked on at a time. Some girls showed up at 6:50 AM super tired but didn't get worked on until 9 AM. I felt so bad. They could have slept in. The results though were good. The girls felt their requests were handled. One girl needed to use her own make up due to sensitive skin, and Kristie obliged. Kristie had one assistant (Amy?), and they even used the hair pieces that the bride provided. Thank you, Kristie and assistant! read more

Kristie and her team provided hair and makeup services for my wedding, including bride, bridemaids, groom, and the mothers of the bride and groom. Before the wedding, I had a trial with Kristie at her salon. I really liked the high quality products she used, and she was very careful and took her time to do a good job. She was collaborative, receiving feedback and trying different things. Her makeup style is natural and polished, highlighted with shimmer and feminine colors. She has an eye for what will look nice when photographed. After the trial, Kristie remained responsive, and I mostly communicated with her over text and email. Her pricing was competitive with or even more affordable than other HMUAs of similar style. We had a large group needing hair and makeup, but she assembled a team of experienced professionals and created a schedule to stagger everyone. My party's hair and makeup looked beautiful; everyone still looked very much like themselves, just enhanced. My groom has a perm, and he was pleased with Kristie's styling which made his hair look full and neat in photos. My hair style was an elegant up-do and the face framing curls were gorgeous. My makeup stayed on all night, even after a lot of dancing. I am so pleased to have found Kristie for my wedding. We look so timeless in photos and felt great because of her and her team! read more

I have had the chance to work with Kristie twice. One for the hair/makeup trial and the other for the wedding day makeup & hair. I had great experiences on both. During the hair/makeup trial the communication went very smooth and Kristie understood what I wanted for my wedding immediately. She was very easy-going and accommodating. When I was unsure about the false eyelashes style, she listened to my concerns and adjusted them a little bit, which turned out to be perfect. Kristie also gave me very helpful advices, such as what hair color should i go, what accessories go with my style, etc. I knew that I wanted to hire her as my wedding day MUA as soon as I finished the trial. On the wedding day not only she arrived at the venue early (even earlier than me), but also both she and her team were able to do some magic on me and my bridesmaids. The hair and makeup lasted an entire day and all of us looked beautiful. I couldn't ask for more from her and her team. read more

I hired Kristie Beauty for a special event, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Kristie and Juliana were an absolute dream team -- incredibly professional, friendly, and encouraging throughout the entire day. I had four different outfit changes, and they gave me four stunning makeup and hair looks to match. Each one was thoughtfully designed and absolutely gorgeous -- I felt like I was glowing all day long! We also had a trial session beforehand, which made me feel extra confident going into the big day. What really impressed me was Kristie's deep understanding of East Asian facial features and her ability to blend Asian makeup trends with Western styles -- the results were modern, flattering, and perfectly tailored to me. read more

I cannot recommend Kristie Hair and Makeup team enough! Her team member did my hair and makeup for my best friend's wedding, and it lasted the WHOLE day, 12+ hours without budging. From the ceremony to the dance floor, everything stayed flawless. I felt so confident and beautiful the entire time. Kristie also did my hair trial for the Miss LA Chinatown Pageant and styled my hair for the entire pageant night. She absolutely delivered. She understood the vision, made thoughtful adjustments, and ensured everything was polished and stage-ready. Beyond her incredible talent, Kristie is truly the sweetest person. She's attentive to detail, professional, and so easy to talk to. I loved all our chats and laughter. She genuinely cares about her clients and takes the time to get to know you. She's also very responsive and always willing to provide tips, guidance, and honest recommendations. Right now, her studio has been affected by a fire next door, and more than ever she deserves our community's support. She is hardworking, resilient, and pours so much care into her craft. If you're looking for someone reliable, talented, and kind, Kristie is your person. read more

I am so happy I found Kristie as my wedding hair and makeup artist! Kristie and her team, Juliana and Sylvia, did an absolutely amazing job on me, my mom, and my bridesmaids. I wanted natural, soft makeup that didn't look heavy or overdone, and Kristie executed it flawlessly. My mom and bridesmaids wanted the same clean, subtle look, and her team delivered beautifully across the board. From the makeup trial to the wedding day, Kristie was a pleasure to work with and offered good suggestions that made me look good. The makeup lasted all day--we started at 7:00 AM, and it held perfectly well past 10:00 PM. I only needed a quick lipstick touch-up. My updo was just as impressive and stayed intact all day as well. Thank you so much to Kristie, Juliana, and Sylvia. I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

Annie was so professional with my in-home bridal hair and make-up appointment. She came on time, did my hair and make-up the way I requested it. Natural glam make-up and fairy hairstyle. I told her my hair doesn't hold curls as it is naturally straight. My wedding ceremony was at 12 then the reception at 5 PM. Both make-up and the hairstyle lasted the entire day up until the next day. Oh and she covered my dark eyebags pretty good too as I wasn't able to sleep much the night before the wedding from too much excitement. I would hire Annie again in the future. read more

I found Kristie by the power of yelp. I came to do my trial bridal hair and makeup today. I was so impressed with her. I felt she knew my style just by looking at me.

She is definitely yelp worthy. Come check her out! read more

We obtain her service for wedding photos. She did a great job on both makeup and hair styling. My daughter looked amazing.

Kristie is so talented! I had such a great experience working with her and her team members. I don't typically wear that much makeup, and she did a great job of giving me beautiful bridal makeup while still looking like myself, listened to my concerns and desires, and also had great suggestions for me such as complementary colors of lips, etc for my complexion (I'm white and have very thin/non-existent eyebrows). I also gave her a rough idea of what kind of down-style hair I wanted to have and she freestyled it to be more beautiful than I expected. (I also have really thin, fine hair so she recommended extensions that blended well and didn't weigh down my head--they stayed in all night comfortably). Everything turned out perfect and was seemingly effortless for her! read more

She is incredibly kind. She handled everything with such care and attention to detail.

I will definitely come back to her for my next event. Thank you! read more

(Long overdue review) I found Kristie through yelp about a year ago, booked my first appointment with her and a second one shortly after. Two completely different makeup styles and she was able to deliver on both perfectly! It was my first time booking a makeup appointment and she made me feel super comfortable! Everything was done on time and I've already booked a third appointment. I cannnot recommend her enough! read more

I was very disappointed with Kristie's services for my wedding day. First, she arrived late and was very slow. She was so delayed that my entire day of schedule got messed up and I had to skip a lot of photos with my photographer. She was so rushed doing my hair that she did a very sloppy job. My bangs kept separating into two very ugly chunks throughout the day. I did two trials, and really loved my hair in the second trial. But what Kristie did on the wedding day was not the same, even though I showed her a picture from the trial. There was no time for her to fix it, and it ruined much of my photos. I was also self-conscious and worried about my hair all day. My mother-in-law's fake lashes also fell off during the reception... read more

On time, amazing and affordable service and everyone complimented me on my makeup. I was a bit worried because I didn't do a trial for my wedding, but I did send her photos of my face and the type of makeup style i was hoping for. I dont wear makeup often and wanted something natural, but also a little mlre glam than the barely there makeup i usually go for. I also let her know I was a bit tanner and not super fair in complexion and she custom mixed my shade in the hotel room. She contoured my face to perfection, eyebrows were perfect, and she put on some fake lashes and eyelid tape to make eyes pop. The makeup lasted through 92 deg heat, tears and dancing. I still had a full face at the end of the night and I loved it. read more

Kristie Beaute - My wedding hair - Makeup Artists Near Me - Arcadia, California

I had the pleasure of working with Kristie twice- for my wedding ceremony and then for the reception a few months later. (She even worked on her birthday for my event!) I had also booked her and her makeup assistant for mothers-of-bride-and-groom makeup and groom hair/makeup. She worked on the hair and makeup for me and my husband while her assistant worked on our mothers. Because my mother only spoke Chinese, it was important to me to find someone who could speak the language so that my mom could communicate comfortably what she wanted. Kristie was able to speak both Mandarin and Cantonese fluently, and so was the assistant she brought with her. Meanwhile, my husband had long curly hair and needed some styling, though he didn't know what look he wanted. She cleaned up his look, mattified his T-zone, and made him look sharp for the wedding photos. The communication and booking process was very straightforward and efficient. Kristie was responsive and gave a lot of good insight throughout the process. I also highly recommend booking a makeup trial with her before your wedding and bringing your wedding jewelry/hair accessories with you (maybe on the day you take engagement photos or before on a day you plan on going out, to see how the makeup sits on you over time). This way, you can make any adjustments you need, and you know exactly what you want on your wedding day, with no surprises. I love the look Kristie created for me. After listening attentively to my ideas and what details I cared about and what general vibe I was going for, she was able to create a look that was exactly what I wanted that would suit both my traditional tea ceremony attire and wedding ceremony attire. She even took into account the weather and how up-close I would be with guests, to adjust her makeup and hair styling for me. I highly recommend her services if you're looking for someone with makeup and hair expertise and can create a look according to your vision. read more

I have had my make-up done twice with Kristie Beaute and both have been great experiences; I feel so beautiful and get many compliments =) In particular, Kristie and her team are skilled at doing Asian make-up; I like the natural glam look, which isn't overly dramatic. I appreciate Kristie's patience and flexibility in coordinating with me as we had to make some last minute changes for both my make-up trial and make-up on the wedding day, she was very nice. On the morning of my wedding day, she helped me touch up my hair as I unfortunately messed it up a bit when I was changing into my dress; thank you so much Kristie for your help! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about Kristie and her team! From start to finish, they were the epitome of professionalism, ensuring that every detail of my bridal hair and makeup was absolutely flawless. The individual lashes they use are incredibly lightweight--unlike other lashes I've tried--and felt so natural and comfortable throughout the entire day. My makeup was stunning yet natural, enhancing my features without feeling heavy or overdone. It lasted beautifully, and I felt confident and radiant the entire time. Holly was an absolute lifesaver, helping me with a hairstyle change and touch-up. She went *above and beyond* to make sure I was comfortable, taking her time to perfect every detail without ever rushing. Her attention to detail and dedication truly made all the difference. I couldn't have asked for a better team to be part of my wedding day. If you're looking for an incredibly talented, kind, and professional team for bridal hair and makeup, look no further than Kristie and her team. Thank you all for making me feel so beautiful and special! read more

Be careful when you deal with this person/business. Kristie is unprofessional and unreliable. I had an appointment this morning for hair and makeup and she never showed up despite reconfirming last Thursday. I had my 70th birthday celebration today and she ruined this special day. She could have canceled the appointment Friday and Saturday but didn't, taking away my ability to explore other options. Totally unacceptable!!! read more

Kristie, you're the best. 120% recommend. I needed someone to do my makeup and hair for a quinceanera and so does the quinceanera's godmother. No matter your nationality, she will make you look so beautiful!! She listened to our needs; she doesn't rush, very professional, she makes you very comfortable, and she delivers! Mind you this past Saturday was 98F-- I was sweating and crying throughout the day, but my makeup stayed strong. The godmother's as well!! Thank you Kristie; you're amazing! read more

Everything from first contacting Kristie until D-Day was a very pleasant experience! When I did my trial make up, she's walk with me on every process & make sure it was exactly like what I want and also make sure the make up comfortable (it's very important to me) to wear for the whole day. Kristie is a very professional & nice! Everyone singing praise for her work on my wedding and I couldn't be more happy to recommend her to them. If you ever see her Yelp page, I assure you 1000% that you wouldn't regret it, go ahead and let her do the magic on you too :) read more

I got my makeup and hair done during two occasions with Kristie, and I was truly amazed and happy with both results. I don't really do nor do I know how to do makeup or style my hair, so being able to treat myself to such while also receiving such high quality work demonstrates how amazing Kristie is. I also enjoy the little conversations I have with her, as it makes the overall environment less tense, and very comfortable. I would sincerely recommend Kristie if you need your hair and makeup done. read more

Amazing job! I booked my trial with her for an engagement shoot and she did a fantastic job with my make up.

Kristie did my makeup trial, engagement photos and wedding make up last year and she's AMAZING. I wish she lived closer to me so I can hire her for all my formal events. For my wedding make up, everyone (including my bridesmaids, mom, MIL) we're all so impressed that she could turn someone who never wears makeup like myself to a bride that truly felt beautiful on her wedding day. She was gentle and used top notch high end products. She was patient and knew what I wanted even when I couldn't explain it. She helped me with multiple hairstyles/looks for the trial until we found two that I liked. So many ppl were impressed that they asked for her info and even flew her up to NorCal for their wedding! Then my friends Mom's saw my pics and demanded her info as well! Overall, Kristie did a phenomenal job, especially for an Asian face. She speaks fluent Cantonese so she was able to communicate with my mom as well which was a plus. When I went to her salon, she was patient and also really professional (we had a great time talking about her kids and ordering takeout while she was curling my hair)! Overall, I highly recommend Kristie! I have very high expectations usually and she went above and beyond my expectations in terms of the quality, care, and expertise. She would make you look BEAUTIFUL and you should not hesitate to book her! read more

Kristie was my hair stylist and makeup artist on my wedding day. I did hair/makeup trial with her for my bridal shower and she did an exceptional job. For my wedding day, I wanted to have an up-do hairstyle for my tea ceremony and later put it down to make Hollywood waves. She told me she would have another artist named Annie stop by after the tea ceremony to put down the hair and Annie did a really quick and amazing job. My makeup stayed put the entire day although hair waves sort of loosened out throughout the night but that's just the nature of my hair. I would highly recommend Kristie for any hair and makeup styling for a wedding or basically any event where you want to look like a more beautiful version of yourself :) read more

I received many compliments. Most recently at the automotive museum, so many people said my hubby and I looked like an Old Hollywood glamorous couple. Last year I felt like a million bucks at LA Live when she made me look soft and pretty in my green lacey dress. This year I asked for a dramatic look and she delivered! She also dyed my hair to help me have a thicker, more vibrant look after the drab of pandemic lock down. Also went back for a root touch up.
