Hiring Shawna for my June 2024 wedding hair and make-up was one of the best wedding planning…read moredecisions I made! Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

I was lucky enough to have Shawna do my hair, makeup, and lashes for my wedding in 2019. She also…read moredid the makeup for my bridesmaids. I can't say enough positive things about her! Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

She offered some great suggestions on what I could do with my short hairstyle and which accessories to choose. She was punctual and arrived early to our hotel for our appointment. Rossie asked about my normal skin complexion so it would look its best. She completed my hair and makeup totally within the time we had scheduled. She is very friendly and pleasant to work with. I was very happy with how I looked- makeup was not heavy at all and great color choices for my skin tone and features. Her makeup products are very high quality... I started makeup at 7:30 am. By 9pm, after the entire wedding, nap and dinner, my makeup hadn't even smudged! My skin has a tendency to get dry within a few hours of being under makeup, but even at the end of the day, it still looked very fresh. I would highly recommend Rossie for makeup and hair for any special occasion!

She also did a beautiful job with my bridesmaids hair. Rossie was early, responsive, and so helpful even with the wedding prep madness. I LOVED my makeup. Thank you Rossie! !

I got so many incredible compliments on the work that Nikki did and I literally can't imagine having any one else there with me doing my hair or makeup. She's one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone! I have to add, Nikki was incredible with the way she communicated with us. She never let an email go more than 12 hours before following up and I never felt like I wasn't her #1 priority!

"Seriously?" being a single Mom at the time of my first daughter's picture, I didn't have a lot of extra money but I went ahead and paid for it. When I got the gallery, I realized that it was worth every, single, penny. Kim King is truly an artist. She uses makeup to enhance their natural beauty without over-doing it. I have 3 daughters and I've told everybody I know about Kim King. If you're looking for a senior pictures, wedding, or even portraits, hire Kim King... she's AMAZING!
