My makeup lasted all day and photographed beautifully, from our first look through the dance floor. Most importantly, I still felt like myself; just the most elevated, confident version of me. I had a hair extension crisis, and she stepped in immediately to make sure my hair was exactly how I wanted it. Her warm, calm demeanor instantly put me at ease. She takes the time to answer all of your questions and genuinely wants her clients to feel confident and happy with her services. I cannot recommend her enough!

Fiona and Jayan were an amazing team! We had many road bumps - rain, completely full parking garage…read moresituation, and worst of all, a city hall closure due to the power outage which meant we couldn't proceed with the ceremony. But despite all of this, Fiona and Jayan were so calm, grounded, and provided the most stunning bridal makeup and hair. Fiona made me feel so amazing (she even gave me a face mask) and brought to life the look I was dreaming of. I had told Fiona my worries about certain details and she completely addresses all of them and made me look like Star. I love Fiona and her work so much!!! Fiona is extremely seasoned and talented!!! Jayan also made my bridal party look stunning!!!

I hired Jen for my wedding, and I'm so glad I did! We were planning on a tight timeline due to a…read morefamily situation, and so many vendors were challenging to get ahold of. Jen emailed me back within a day with all her details and information, and I was so excited. I shared photos with her, and she worked with me and my hair/skin concerns to get a look that I loved. I had my trial with her about two weeks before my wedding so we could also have a trial shoot with our photographer. I rarely wear makeup, and I was blown away by how good I looked and felt - like the best version of myself. The makeup also photographed wonderfully. Jen was so kind and funny, which made the getting ready process on the wedding day so much less stressful. My makeup also lasted through a hot day at City Hall, a windy outdoor photoshoot, and a dinner with dancing, somehow without creasing or running. Sorcery!!! Thank you, Jen!!

I was in search of a hair and makeup artist a few days out from my maternity photoshoot due to some…read morelast minute schedule changes and Jennifer was super accessible and professional from the initial reach out. Once I arrived and met her in person, it was as if we had met before - she is approachable, friendly, and makes you feel like an old friend. Now onto the actual hair and makeup - her talent far exceeded my expectations! I gave her a general idea of what I was going for and she was able to quickly run with it and when she showed me the finished product at the end, I was so thrilled. I love the way it looked both in person and the way it photographed (pictures attached). I would highly recommend booking JT artistry for your hair and makeup needs! I didn't want to wash my face or undo my hair after the photoshoot because it looked so good, haha!

I look back at pictures of my hair when I was in my Mishi era and the cut was on point and framed my face perfectly. The color always complimented my skin tone and was blended perfectly.

Scott has a real gift for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He gives just the right amount of direction to get great, natural shots without feeling overly posed. The session flew by, and I walked away with a collection of headshots of my client that feel authentic, polished, and perfect for everything from LinkedIn to press materials. I also appreciate how organized and professional everything was, from booking through image delivery. He clearly cares about his craft -- and it shows in the results.

Having worked in the wedding industry for many years, I always knew Maria was the best of the best…read more But actually experiencing her as a bride went so far beyond what I could have imagined. From the trial, her attention to detail and professionalism blew me away. I left feeling like the very best version of myself: confident, radiant, and cared for. She even takes professional photos during the trial and sends you a gallery so you can see how everything photographs. I couldn't think of a single suggestion to improve, yet she still noticed minor tweaks and shared thoughtful ideas. We agreed on them, and come wedding day, she delivered a look that was even more perfect than the trial. I truly have never felt more beautiful in my life. Maria is not just an artist, she's a calm and grounding presence while you're getting ready, instilling confidence in every moment. And she goes far beyond the role of hair and makeup: she bustled my dress without me even realizing, captured behind-the-scenes phone footage that made me wonder why I even hired a videographer, and was truly like a wedding fairy godmother working quietly in the background to make everything smoother. Maria is the real deal, both as a vendor and as a person. I wish every bride could experience the level of care, artistry, and love she pours into her work. Booking PMA was absolutely the very best decision I made for my wedding.

I honestly don't know where to begin--Maria Calderon is absolutely amazing.

Maria is not only incredibly talented but also full of warmth and joy. She truly takes the time to understand her clients, their preferences, and their vision, ensuring the final look is flawless. My wife looked absolutely stunning, and it was clear that Maria's artistry and attention to detail made all the difference. Beyond her exceptional skill, Maria goes above and beyond in every way possible. She starts early, coordinates seamlessly with other vendors, and ensures that both the bride and groom feel confident, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Even when her work is done, she's the type of professional who will jump in to help wherever needed--her dedication and work ethic are truly unmatched. If you are looking for a talented, reliable, and genuinely caring makeup artist who will make your day unforgettable, look no further than Maria Calderon. She is the definition of professionalism and passion. We cannot recommend her highly enough and will absolutely be using her again for future events.

Jane Kim is ridonkulous. Ridonkulously GOOD. Jane did my hair and make-up for a boudoir shoot and…read moreholy effing moses, I was floored by her work. A few brushstrokes and extensions later, she made me look so sexy and glamorous that I was almost embarrassed to look at myself in the mirror. What I like about Jane (aside from her spunky, bubbly personality and sense of humor) is that her goal is to make you look like a better version of yourself. I'm not into the overdone, fake look, so Jane's approach was exactly what I was looking for. She's so good at what she does and LOVES what she does so much. Kudos Jane! You rock my socks off!

She was so…read morededicated to keeping me looking 100% right up until the ceremony, fighting against Mother Nature to do touchups and keep my hair in place! Seriously though, the whole experience working with Jane was great. She started with a survey to get to know my beauty style, inspiration photos, skin sensitivities, etc. Then I brought my mom to the hair and makeup trial, and Jane made her feel so comfortable and welcome (lots of bonding over K-dramas :) ). Last but not least, I loved the look she crafted-- the perfect balance of polished and natural! On the wedding day, all of the makeup artists (Jane, Jasmine, and Erika) were so friendly and accommodating of the requests of the family members I had booked for HMU services. Everyone had such a lovely, memorable time getting all glammed up together. I highly recommend The Glamourist for any bride who just wants to relax and enjoy her wedding day knowing she looks awesome.

I hired S Studios to do makeup and hair for my wedding in Oakland last weekend, and I couldn't be…read morehappier that I did! My mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids looked gorgeous, and I never felt more beautiful in my life. Nikki, Emily, and Yoong were all incredibly professional, polite, and a pleasure to work with on the wedding day. I had done several photoshoots in the past and had my hair and makeup done by various stylists over the years. Not all of them were equally well-versed in working with East Asian clients, and I had a very diverse wedding party, so I was insistent that our wedding makeup artists be versatile and competent. Their master stylist Nikki really blew me away on the trial date, and I felt great going into the wedding day knowing she knew exactly what look I was going for, and how to achieve it. Since our wedding day started early, I decided to hire Nikki to stay with me for an additional 5 hours for touchups throughout the afternoon. I don't regret doing so for a minute: Nikki not only made me look fabulous all day; she was calm, supportive, and encouraging, and freshened up my look before I headed into the second part of the day. Susie, in the months leading up to the wedding day, was highly responsive, clear, and flexible in accommodating changing plans. She worked with me to optimize the schedule, helped coordinate a trial session for my mother, and in general was informative and thorough whenever I reached out to her with questions. Overall, S Studios is a solid vendor. If you want to look flawless, feel confident, and work with the best on your wedding day, S Studios is it. I couldn't be more grateful that we had Nikki and the rest of team with us on our wedding day!

This is a way overdue review that I've been anxious to write because Susie is absolutely AMAZING! I…read morecontacted Susie months before my daughter's wedding about doing her makeup and mine. I was handling all this from across the country and had tons of questions and concerns, which Susie promptly and patiently answered, thoroughly setting my mind at ease. We hired her for hair and makeup for events over 2 days of the wedding weekend. I should mention that my daughter never fusses with hair or makeup and really had little interest in even doing this! She didn't do a trial session and really had no specific ideas about how she even wanted her hair done! I explained all this to Susie ahead of time and she dealt with it beautifully - making suggestions and coming up with the perfect plan for 2 different hair styles for the 2 days and makeup slightly more subdued the first day to see how Alicia liked it. Well, I was stunned - not just at how gorgeous it was - but because Alicia totally LOVED the whole process and the final result!! I attribute all this to Susie's calm, sweet and knowledgeable manner. She explained everything perfectly and her suggestions were spot on- it was obvious that she was a seasoned pro! I wouldn't have thought it possible, but by the second night, Alicia was really into a more dramatic look which was PERFECT! Also, we had some last minute timing issues which Susie was kind enough to accommodate by juggling her own busy schedule. I simply can't say enough positive things about Susie, her work and most importantly, her sweet disposition! I would recommend her highly and without hesitation!
