She also made sure each look was unique to the event while still feeling true to me. Beyond her incredible skill, what made her truly special was her warmth, calm energy, and professionalism. She was such a great listener and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. She genuinely kept me grounded during the chaos of wedding prep and set the tone for my celebrations in the best possible way. Shanji went above and beyond for me in every sense. She cared deeply about how I felt, stayed attentive to every little detail, and made me feel so beautiful from the inside out. If you want someone who can not only make you look stunning but also make your wedding days feel peaceful and joyful, I cannot recommend Shanji enough. She is truly exceptional.

She was very accomodating and made arrangements for me as i had to be ready super early in the morning! During our session she made sure i'd be all glammed up and ready to go! It was so relieving since i was so stressed and in a hurry! I absolutely loved my makeup! 15 hours, rain or shine (yes, unfortunately it rained), my makeup lasted all day! I received tons of compliments! Maida's a true MUA! I'm so happy i met her. Only now i wish i had more events to attend so i can book Maida again :) I definitely recommend Maida!

Going into…read moremy trial, I had an idea of what I wanted, but since I don't wear much makeup, there were so many things I hadn't thought about. Quendie was incredibly patient and kind, explaining my options and helping me narrow down my preferences. She has such a calming presence, which made me feel relaxed and at ease on such a busy wedding day. I had a 3 AM hair and makeup start time, and Quendie went above and beyond by coordinating three additional artists to provide hair and makeup services for our group of 10. Everyone was so sweet and did an amazing job. My hair and makeup lasted for over 14 hours without budging. I only needed to reapply my lip color throughout the day, and my half-up hairstyle held perfectly, even through having my veil placed and removed multiple times for the ceremony and sunset photos! My bridesmaids and mom also loved their services. I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience and am so grateful to Quendie and her team for making me feel so beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I highly recommend Quendie and her team for wedding glam or any special event!

I…read moreset up a morning appointment since my friends and I were planning on meeting early to eat and take photos, and fortunately Estela had a remaining slot left! After I set up my appointment and sent her a picture of my prom dress, she knew immediately what kind of makeup would work best and come out perfectly in photos. I was apprehensive at first about getting my makeup done because some of my friends' makeovers from MAC were definitely not to my tastes. I was mostly worried that the makeup would turn out too dark and heavy. But, I worried for nothing because Estela's work is simply flawless! I especially love the way she did my eyes and brows - the glitter made my eyes pop out in photos, and the brows are on fleek. While she was doing my makeup, she put me completely at ease. She's very friendly and sweet, and thanks to her, my first professionally done makeup experience was great. And since I got my makeup done in the morning, Estela gave me some powder and lips for touchups later in the day, which I definitely appreciated. I think my makeup was the best out of all my friends in my prom group, and I received many compliments for it! I'd definitely recommend Estela for anyone who wants to get their makeup done for any occasion - either for prom or just for fun :)

Disclaimer: Estela and I went to high school together and played softball those many years ago…read more I am pretty helpless when it comes to makeup. Always had to get it done for school dances and didn't buy my own (except the powder I would buy in junior high just to feel cool) until 3rd year of college when I was prepping for interviews for internships and my roommate took me to the bare escentuals at the mall. Working full-time, my makeup is super simple, and fades (I gradually stop wearing it because when you're a CPA and working long hours, you stop caring). But I needed my makeup done for a photo session for my Save the Dates, and having seen Estela's work on facebook, I got to learn how professional she is. Her work station is clean, organized, sanitized and expansive. I'm Asian so I don't have the double eye lid fold, so that's always a test for makeup artists since many times its not what they are used to. But Estela did a great job. My always critical mom thought it was too dramatic but you have to for a camera. At the end of the day, I did think my eyebrows were a little darker than I anticipated but if I had known what I wanted, Estela would have been able to adjust/accommodate my eyebrows for me. But I thought I looked good in her chair, so that's on me IMHO. I would definitely recommend her even if I didn't know her from high school.

Once every blue moon, I must leave my hibernation cave and look presentable for an important event…read more The kind that requires more than just washing my face...and maybe brushing my hair. This event was one of my closest friend's weddings where I was also going to be giving a speech. No wallflower girl or invisibility cloak will help this girl, except for a makeup artist guru. Trying to find a good makeup artist is fairly easy I feel. But finding a great makeup artist who really knows how to bring out all the best of one's feature...that's a feat. Thank goodness for Cherry of Sessions Makeup. Cherry was recommended to me by a dear family friend. My friend told me she knows I will love Cherry. If this review looks too long, this is the TLDR version: Cherry is a phenomenal makeup artist, a guru, who knows how to bring out the best features in people through her art, and her energy is magical. Have faith in her skills and know one will walk away in the end feeling beautiful and confident. Here's my longer review: I hesitated to make an appointment, only because I am not one to have my makeup done professionally, and it was just nerve wrecking, especially for someone who is makeup-illiterate and also has low confidence. My brain would say: "how could any makeup possibly fix something that is not pretty nor beautiful?" Eventually panicking as my friend's wedding approached, and knowing I wasn't going to become makeup literate in less than a week, I scheduled an appointment with Cherry. I appreciate so much how organized Cherry is from the start with the appointment time, location information, and deposit information. I knew exactly what to expect, because I even asked her follow up questions about the makeup session. From the moment I stepped into Cherry's studio, the energy of her joy, passion, enthusiasm, love for her craft, and infectious laughter was lovingly contagious. Cherry is so compassionate, warm, and has a way of making one feel completely at ease, and to put fear aside and trust Cherry and her process. Did I also mention how genuine and kind she is too! I let Cherry know the wedding was going to be outdoors, and despite the ceremony being in the evening, it was one of the hottest days of the summer in Orange County, CA. Cherry listened to my concern and told me not to worry if I was afraid that my makeup would melt. She said the makeup would actually do just fine and be dewy, in the good kind of way, if I did sweat. Cherry then proceeded to ask me what kind of makeup I wanted. I told Cherry that all I knew was that I loved the winged liner look and for her to highlight my eyes. Everything else, I told her to do her magic and gave her free creative reign. Cherry definitely has all the skills and talent up her sleeves. She is meticulous and pays attention to detail. She is also a perfectionist, in a good way. Several times I teared up as she was applying my liner, and that's because I am super sensitive to eye liner, but also at the time, I was suffering from allergies, hence the watery eyes also didn't help. Cherry fixed my eyes constantly because the tears would mess them up. As soon as she was able to get my eyes to dry completely with a little fan, she nailed the winged liner look I wanted, and made it infinitely better with what she called a "soft winged liner". Cherry took her time applying foundation and all the other amazing makeup tools in her arsenal of weapons. At the end of the session, I actually walked away feeling so beautiful, so glamorous, and yet knew it was still me staring back from the mirror. That night and in the pictures, I received so many kind compliments about my makeup. Many of my friends told me my makeup was glamorous and also natural, which is the best kind of compliment. And the real test too...my makeup was still PERFECT 11 hours later. My makeup withstood emotional crying at the wedding, sweating through the heat, and yet at the end of the day, my face remained flawless. Cherry's price is also reasonable. From what I know as of July 2024, the price for professional makeup in Orange County, CA ranges from $100-$250. With that being said, I would 10/10 recommend Cherry in a heartbeat, especially for those who need to look flawless and beautiful for any special occasion. Cherry is an artist who is incredible at her craft and has a huge heart.

Reviews of wedding services:…read more Oh my word! Cherry Sessions of Sessions Makeup is absolutely one of the most consumate professionals I have ever worked with. A hundred years ago I was a swimsuit model and dealt with lots of makeup artists. Cherry is top of the top. I hired her for my wedding, which was a smaller beach wedding that we put together in about 5 weeks (please see my other reviews for all the services we used). The outcome was gorgeous- and Cherry was a major part of making it so. Although our wedding was an impromptu and less formal affair, I still wanted a some very high quality services such as hair, makeup, flowers & food. After lots of research I found Sessions Makeup on Yelp and looked at Cherry's work and who she works with. She kicks butt for national pageant contestants, she works on professional models as well as brides and the like. Everyone she does looks beautiful and flawless. Her makeup is matched and perfect to the face. Sessions Makeup is not inexpensive, however, for a quality professional that is what you do. We started off with the test makeup, I had photos of what I thought I wanted but it ended up looking too heavy & dark. We worked around and played with it for a little bit and we came up up with a beautiful palette. Her skills are amazing. It is easy and fun interacting with Cherry as she was so aware of my thought process and my evolving vision. In the couple of weeks before my day, Cherry checked in with me several times, helping me to prepare. "Get some little eye gel patches" she said, "and put them on your eyes on the morning of the event". I forgot and she had them and did it for me. "Drink lots of water and get some good sleep" she said. Things that you'd think you would remember to do, but with everything going on I didn't and to have her in the background coaxing me along was simply wonderful. The wedding plans were fluid with regards to location and time until I was able to lock things in, and Cherry was always available to talk or text and she worked with me easily so it flowed well. The morning of my wedding I was setting up flowers and table cloths, and napkins at Pete's and of course it always takes longer than you think. We had planned to start at 9 I couldn't get back to the suite until 9:20, so Cherry had gone and set up everything beautifully. She had relaxing music on so when I came back, I fell into a state of calm and happy. I sat back in the directors chair that she brought, and let her do her magic. Now, aside from all her excellent work and talent. She possesses a true and unfettered demeanor and handled herself like an absolute pro regarding what happened with my hair stylist. My hairstylist, (and again, please read the review) was absolutely insane. I have been going to her for years which made us friends, but that makes no difference when someone is hired to do a job. She blew in late like a tornado, with crap falling all over out of her bins, not dressed, no make up on and swearing and carrying on about some one in her family. Then she had the nerve to come up to Cherry and ask her if she if she really wanted to use that particular make up for whatever Cherry was doing on my eyes at the moment. I would've liked to bite her but Cherry handled it so eloquently, and kindly, she simply said "Oh, it's waterproof" and turned up the music louder and said "Breathe my bride, breathe" and she had me back in a good place. As you can see from the photos, my make up was absolutely spectacular. I felt beautiful and full of joy and thankful because Cherry was such a good "balancer "and had such positive effect on everything. In conclusion, an emphatic thumbs up, I absolutely highly recommend Sessions Makeup. Thank you Cherry, thank you, thank you, thank you!
