Sharon's work will make you feel so so so pretty!…read more I had a trial with her which I was so happy with. Honestly, Sharon is so good at what she does, I don't even think I needed a trial because I absolutely loved what she did but it gave me peace of mind and reassurance. I told her all my concerns (oily skin, hair that doesn't hold curls, etc) and she made sure it was all addressed. I had SO many compliments after my trial and on wedding day. My hair normally doesn't hold a curl but I wanted cohesive waves and they held the entire night without making my hair feel stiff. She was perfectly on time too. Her arrival, set up and doing my mom's makeup, my sister's hair and makeup and then mine. She ended perfectly at the end time we aimed for too. I was also pretty nervous on wedding morning and getting my hair and makeup done was surprisingly soothing. I've never felt prettier in makeup than I did with Sharon's work. I'd hire here again for any event I'd want to look extra perfect for.

With all the stressors of a wedding and managing so many different things, Sharon was someone who I know I didn't need to worry about doing an amazing job. She is SO good at what she does (both hair and makeup!) and did all my bridesmaids, mom, MIL, and SIL looks the day of and stuck to the timeline. I had a wide range of ethnicities in my getting ready group and she was able to do such a good job with every single one. I've never felt prettier than I did with Sharon's work. From the trial, she listens to you and is totally receptive to feedback on any adjustments you want to make. She is so easy to work with and she will make you feel absolutely stunning based on whatever look you are going for. Book Sharon if you want to feel your best!

You guys. Seriously. You guys…read more Val is the jam and the peanut butter. Found her through these glowing reviews on Yelp so I wanted to add to the resounding chorus. I am new to the LA area and my brother's wedding events spanned two weekends in mid-October. My sister and Mom were coming in from DC and also wanted their makeup done, so I took to Yelp to find someone who would come to us and who clearly was familiar with working with darker skin tones. Val was the first one I found and after going to her website, I straight up prayed that we would be lucky enough to work with her. And we did! She met us in random locations in Santa Monica and Malibu, made us look and FEEL beautiful, and above all, made us as comfortable as she could. The makeup matched our skin tones perfectly and was perfectly in place for the whole night. She even saved our butts for a last minute photographer for one of the events! Day of! Val is part of our family now, and I am so grateful to know her let alone have had the opportunity to have had my face touched by her artistic (self-taught?!?!?) hands.

Just got married last week. I'm the groom and Kelly Yi did the makeup for the bride. So this review…read moreis from my perspective. My fiancée at the time came back from the makeup trial and was very happy with her experience with Kelly. On the wedding day, the makeup was done really well but Kelly's rudeness ruined it for the bride, my sister (a bridesmaid) and the mother of the groom. My bride (now wife) told me how she pestered her about payment all day and even to the point of hovering next to her while peeing, 5 mins before walking to the alter. My sister, who was holding the wedding dress so the bride could go pee, had to tell her to back off. She even bothered my mom for payment even though she was late getting dressed. It wasn't until one of our wedding planner assistants caught her asking for money, and then pulling her aside to have a chat that she stopped. My wife remembers the wedding day as magical and perfect, but her one bad taste is Kelly. She does good makeup, but if you care about an experience, I wouldn't recommend her. Oh, and about the payment. I sent the payment to the address on the contract before the wedding. Turns out she forgot to check her old mailbox as she moved to a new location

Cathy and her team were amazing!…read more From the very start Cathy was very prompt with her correspondence and always happy to answer any question or concern that I had. Her services worked well in our budget and I was thrilled to book her. I did my hair and makeup trial at her home studio and she was so hospitable and offered bottled water to my MOH and I. I enjoyed how she described all the products she used and why. Unfortunately, at the end of the day my greasy/oily skin won supreme and I found myself blotting constantly and always feeling so shiny. Also, although I really liked my hair and it looked like the picture example I showed her... there was something missing that kept me from LOVING it. I shared all my concerns with Cathy and right away she assured me that these worries would be taken care of the day of the wedding. She blew me away! The makeup she applied was flawless! She used different high quality products for oily skin that gave me a matte finish but not leave me feeling cakey. I only had to blot twice from the time of application until the end of the night (10 hours!). For my hair, she took my initial hairstyle that I liked... and added extra texture to the front and side of my head. The extra pinned curls really elevated my hairstyle and the application of fresh flowers from my florist made it everything I ever wanted for my wedding hair. Thank you Cathy for making me feel so beautiful on the biggest day of my life!

A few month ago, I hired Cathy as my hair and makeup artist for my first photo shoot. I have to say…read moreCathy was very professional, came to my place on time and I really thought she did an excellent job! Fast forward a few month later, I reached out to Cathy again to book her for another session for a photo shoot. But second time around, I did not get a good vibe from her. When I reached out to her, she told me at first she was pretty sure she was free for my hair/makeup, only to text me later saying she's booked. I asked if she has other dates that are free, as I am very willing to work with her schedule. She said she's completely booked. I called her several times, sent her messages asking her other available times, left messages, none was returned. I even asked if she can refer me to someone else....but she never got back to me..completely ignored me. She honestly could care less about my business. In fact, if you check her website, the website says "As of 8/1/2017, Cathy is completely booked for the reminder of 2017". Are you serious?! From what I can gather, I wonder if it is because the makeup is only for me, rather than for a large party, probably not worthwhile for her to come out on a Sunday morning, not even for a repeat customer....what a shame... That two star is for her previous work..and zero star for this recent encounter.

I head about Elaine through a friend and really liked her work. She was really great to work with…read moreas she is super responsive through text and email. Elaine and her team made my bridesmaids and I feel beautiful on our big day. With her service, she does offer a make up trial. She was really patient with me as we had gone through a fee options in terms of what I wanted for my make-up and hair. I originally wanted to do a lower bun look and was glad that we had this trial to help me figure the best style for my big day. The lower bun did not make the cut so I ended up doing curls with a quarter up do so the hair piece I purchased would be able to sit on top of my head. In the end, I was super happy with the way my make-up and hair turned out. Elaine and her team did an amazing job. I could not have been anymore happier with the outcome.

Edit: After I made this review, Emily reached out to me and sincerely apologized. It warmed my…read moreheart that she came to me directly and offered to make things up to me in some way. She even offered a refund but I could not in good conscience take it. Emily worked hard and did her very best. She was sweet and my face makeup was everything I wanted. I decided to change the style of my hair after the trial and did not redo the trial. I also believe that she did not have enough experience with my hair type and texture to honor what I wanted. I suppose in retrospect all I can say is she did her best and I respect that. If you are looking to book her and you happen to change your mind about the style after the hair trials, based on my own experience I would recommend to do another before your big day. Overall, she is a great person and an even better artist. Original post: I got married last year October 2025 and I have been thinking about my experience here and I just can't keep my experience to myself anymore. I really really wanted to like this business, I liked the K drama idol glam, the pictures she posted seemed so well done, and when I met her she was sweet. I liked Asian style make up because it was natural and seamless, which is what I wanted. She did an incredible job with my makeup and it really did stay all night! I showed her an inspiration picture and she nailed it. But, what went wrong, was my hair. I should have known when I saw the demographic of her portfolio. This is to say, I am Caucasian and have thin fizzy oily hair. And well, in all honesty I don't think Emily had lot of experience with my kind of hair. I asked for a half up have down style with curls for my trial hair and makeup. She did it and my first thought was that it was messy. I recognized that maybe this was part of the style and went for a different style. In retrospect, I should have done another hair trial as soon as I changed my mind about the style I wanted but I couldn't have afforded it. Anyway, as for my curls I let her know my hair is pretty shapeless and thin, so curls need extra time to set a a light product to hold. I ended up with curls that heavy and caked with product that lasted a grand total of 30 minutes. I went to Emily and told her my experience and she just said that my hair didn't hold a curl very well so she would have to add more product and go slowly with each curl. So I took it upon myself to do 2 things, choose one of the sturdiest curl styles of "glam waves" and find my own product and test it myself to know it worked. Shout out to davines. I had even used the product myself to curl my hair and saw that it lasted a couple days when I did it myself. I was confident, I had seen the portfolio pictures where Emily had done glam waves and she confirmed she could do them. I had had picked and tested a product that I knew worked. Then I even got hair extensions so that the texture of the hair extensions could help to hold my hair exactly in place. Well, it still didn't work out. First, as I was getting my hair done, there was a strong scent of burned hair. It was so strong that my mother in law and sisters in law came in and were actually concerned something was wrong. We went on with the hair appointment and seeing as she had a picture of the glam waves I wanted, and said she could do it and did it before, I sat and waited. I waited for her to be done. When I finally got to see, it was not what I asked for. Again in retrospect this is what hair trials are for and I don't blame Emily, I do believe she did her best but just did not have enough experience with my type of hair. Emily had done generic curls that were heavy and crunchy with product, my hair was heavy and smelled. What was disappointing is that I did not get Hollywood glam waves. The curls were not even in a single direction and It did not look like she combed out the curls and set them as waves. I was extremely disappointed but I was out of time. I had to accept what was done and go off to my wedding! Now when I look at my photos I see my hair and I am upset to think that it did not turn out the way I imagined. I really wish she had been honest about not knowing how to work with my hair so I could find someone else. All in all I loved my makeup but I was unhappy with my hair.

My makeup was flawless, long-lasting, and perfectly suited to my features, and my hair was styled beautifully--exactly what I envisioned (even better, honestly). Not only is Nathaly incredibly skilled, but also warm, calm, and such a pleasure to be around--she made the entire experience fun and relaxing. If you're looking for someone who truly understands beauty, precision, and luxury-level service, look no further. Highly, highly recommend!

I was referred to Nathaly by another makeup artist who couldn't accommodate me since I had such a…read morelast minute request. I think I texted her on a Friday for a Sunday afternoon appointment as I wanted to treat my mom to get her makeup done for a wedding we were attending as guests. Nathaly primarily (only?) works out of her studio in West Covina, so she won't be able to travel to you, but that worked out fine for us as we lived close by. Her studio has just enough natural light, was kept well-air conditioned, and very clean. I appreciate that she didn't rush and stopped periodically while doing your makeup to make sure she was meeting what you were looking for. I've had makeup artists look at my reference photos and give me something completely different, so I felt very heard and respected in my wishes. My mom does not wear makeup (like ever) and English isn't her first language, but Nathaly was really friendly and still made her feel very comfortable as she was doing her makeup. She made sure my mom was able to get the coverage/look she wanted while not overdoing it and she hit it out of the park! Lastly, her prices were very reasonable and transparent! I like that she publicizes her pricing so you know ahead of time vs having to reach out and ask. I don't have many events to warrant getting my makeup done, but would recommend her to anyone looking for it!
