    Wedding make up and hair

    I wanted to have a more natural look for our elopement in the city hall, and Aakanksha was great!!! The make up looked very natural and highlighted my facial features, which is what I wanted. Thank you so much!

    Our makeup looked amazing!

    Akankcha was incredible with hair and makeup for my e-shoot. She did a beautiful job and I was really happy with that part of the service.

    Hi! I don’t think this is the right business that you’re referring to.

    Aakansha was amazing and did my makeup exactly how I wanted it! I got so many compliments on my mehndi event and loved how natural it was!

    I hired Kary as my HMU for my wedding in April 2026. She was a total professional and really…read morepassionate in what she does. I was really happy with my looks throughout the event and Kary was attentive throughout, really glad to have hired her. During the makeup trial she listened to my needs and took times to try multiple styles and looks until I'm comfortable with my choices. Her makeup style is very beautiful and natural at the same time, she has a great understand of Asian features. I felt very beautiful. During the event she stayed around for almost the whole ceremony to reception, helping with touch ups and outfit/look changes. She was also great with my mother and bridesmaids, patient and giving styling support when my mom had questions. However I think there's room for improvement in her team. The second HMU she brought with her to help with the other half of my bridesmaids was not as good. My bridesmaid mentioned that her side bun constantly fell out and after asking to be fixed multiple time they just ended up fixing it themselves. The second HMU also didn't seem to have the same joy as Kary and wasn't too friendly. Outside of that, Kary's husband Eugene does all her booking, scheduling and communications. Have some patience for him to get back to you and double check the booking times as I experienced some mixed up during the trial booking. Overall I would definitely recommend working with Kary for your makeup, you will not regret it, she really took good care of me.

She really brings out the best of your natural beauty in her makeup, and she can do such a wide variety of hairstyles well. My hair and makeup held up all night. Beyond that, Kary and her assistant were extremely caring and professional. Somehow I managed to give them the wrong address, but they figured out the right address and still arrived early. They also went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and relaxed on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kary!

    Look no further! Lily is the real deal with a cherry on top. I thank my wedding planner for…read morerecommending her. I also thank that dry bar employee who mentioned Lily's work. I was looking high and low for a hair and makeup artist with enough experience and talent to do my makeup better than myself and as good as other pro LA artists I follow on Instagram. I have high expectations of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like for my wedding- I wanted to look like a goddess, ultra glam, lots of lashes and contouring. I wanted to look like a Persian Barbie/Persian princess. I have gotten my hair and makeup done a few times before with various artists for a couple of engagement parties and one engagement shoot before I found Lily. Lily nailed it. Now one of the most important vendors for my wedding has been found and now I can sleep better at night. More professional photos taken by Aroos Magazine to come!!!

    Lily is such a wonderful artist to work with. I found Lily through yelp and we communicated through…read moreemail prior to my wedding. I didn't really want to do a makeup trial because I was only doing a simple City Hall Wedding. I was so pleased/relieved that Lily did not pressure me to do a trial and just told me to email her the hair & makeup styles that I liked. I was really impressed with how quickly Lily responded to my emails (I had quite a few questions and even had to change my appointment time). On the day of my wedding, my mom and I went to her studio to get my makeup done. Lily's studio has a bathroom & an area to change, just in case you need to change into your dress and head directly to your wedding (which I thought I would have to do, but Lily finished my makeup/hair earlier than expected). My mom had no idea what type of makeup style she wanted, so she just let Lily decide. My mom was very happy with the result. I knew exactly what hair & makeup style I wanted and emailed a few examples to Lily and she perfected it! I was also very worried that my lipstick would transfer/dry out during the wedding, but Lily told me not to worry and packed me some lipstick and gloss to go (I actually didn't really need to reapply because it stayed on very well). I am very happy and lucky that I found Lily. I highly recommend her.

She listened to my thoughts and immediately started working on my look, which was so pretty and natural. I really appreciated seeing three different hairstyles, and I really liked the way she put on the false lashes in small pieces, which made them look like my real lashes! My makeup and hair withstood the windy SF engagement shoot and still looked great after. Then, for my wedding, I loved my hair and makeup once again, and the baby's breath Joyce put in my hair made me feel so pretty. Joyce and Nadia made my moms and sisters all look so beautiful for our special day as well. I especially appreciate how patient Joyce was with my mom who was having trouble deciding on her hairstyle. My groom Daniel also looked great after his touchup. All in all, choose Joyce! You will not regret it!

Her natural style was perfect - she was able to make us feel like ourselves but elevated which was perfect especially for those that rarely wear makeup or only do minimal makeup. During the trial and wedding day, I found Joyce to be detailed, quick but thorough, and to have a relaxing vibe which was perfect and exactly what I needed since I was feeling overstimulated with all the chaos during the morning of the wedding. Joyce was a pleasure to work with and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist!
