Hair and Make Up by Pearl  Photography by Iann Ivy
Lisa L.

We are definitely spoiled by choices in the Bay. So happy I chose Pearl. Communication with her was easy and professional. I opted out of the trial and just shared my Pinterest board with her. On my wedding day, she showed up and after two hours, transformed me into the best self I've seen in awhile. It was like catching up with an old friend while getting the royal treatment. It was also my first (certainly not the last) time I got air brushed foundation. Still looked amazing after 10+ hours. Can't say enough positive things about my experience. Look no further for an awesome make up and hair artist.

She is the best. My go-to gal now for any occasions. I have stuck with her and recommended her to everyone. She knows her stuff and she knows how to make someone who has no idea how to make herself gorgeous, really good. She's also such a pleasure to spend time with. Considering you'd be sitting in her chair for awhile that's a plus!!!

MY QUEEN B. My…read morerelationship with Bianca goes back to when my girlfriend recommended me to get some color at Sun Trenz for the summer (http://www.yelp.com/biz/sun-trenz-san-bruno-2#hrid:5DkqcF5VGFhHsGsvQqHTTA) To summarize, since day one, Bianca has given me nothing but honest recommendations in terms of how long to go into tanning, how to prevent burning, what lotions to try, etc. and I trust her with all beauty questions. I've seen photos of the make up she's done on others but I've never had an opportunity to go to anything special to get my makeup done. Well, lucky me. I had a last minute invite to a wedding and Bianca was down to do my make-up, schedule the day before. Can you say AMAZING? I was super excited and nervous at the same time because it's so hard to find a non-Asian MUA to do Asian make-up. You think I'm kidding but I'm not. I've had my make-up done by many make-up artists who I've seen do a great job on other faces but not on Asians. WELL, I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. Bianca was well-prepared for the make up session, I didn't have to bring anything at all. And let me tell you, she made my face flawless and the way she contoured and worked with my facial structure -- I was very impressed. I couldn't stop staring at myself for the longest time :DDD We also did a spray tan the day before which gave me a nice summer bronze for the evening. We actually forgot a spot during my session but she recalled later and told me to come back and get it done again. Uhhhh-mazing, right? Who does that? And another client who had come in before me was asking to do a spray tan right after a regular tan and Bianca told her it wasn't a good idea because of the lotion and all and I just appreciate great customer service like B's. She could've made extra money there and then but she had the customer's interest at heart. Oh, and I got so many compliments on my make-up, you don't even know. Bianca is for sure my go-to gal for any future events. Love her!

When I left, my skin looked so much smoother, my blackheads were gone, & my pores were so much smaller. I bought the package for microdermabrasion & oxygen treatment, but it really felt like I got so much more. Christina is amazing at what she does & made so many knowledgeable (and practical) suggestions about skincare. It's clear she has a lot of experience in this field, I felt like I was in good hands. She was also very kind & the treatment was VERY relaxing (I think I fell asleep!). The office felt clean & friendly. I will absolutely be going back & highly recommend!

I left refreshed and my skin got the pick-me-up that it needed. I opted for the collagen and even tone treatment package and I thought it was the best for my combo skin and hyperpigmentation concerns. They let me know each step and what products they used and were very knowledgeable about my skin condition and what products I should pay particular attention to. For example, she noticed I had extra blackheads on my nose and could tell right away that I don't spend enough time cleansing that area. I would highly recommend their facial services!

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.

My inspo also changed a lot from the trial to the wedding day, and she handled it so gracefully. The way she does skin is so dropdead gorgeous. I wanted you-but-better, flushed, fresh, dewy. She delivered on all aspects. She made me feel so beautiful, and the full-day service was absolutely worth it. I really appreciated the little videos she took throughout the day, and she took care of things I didn't think of-like holding my veil off my lipstick until it was Go Time, carrying my dress train on the long march to the ceremony area, assisting with photo posing (things like throwing the veil onto me). I highly recommend her services! Eugene was very responsive with scheduling and made everything easy!

I worked with Joey for my wedding on Feb 1, 2019, and couldn't have been any happier! Originally…read moreJBeautique, I found Joey while perusing Instagram/Yelp and saw she was now a part of Urban Beauty Loft. As someone who normally does not wear makeup, it was difficult to find examples of hair styles that suited my preferences. I wanted to wear glasses, and have my hair mostly down, with bangs. You would not believe the lack of brides-in-glasses examples they have online! #thestruggleisreal Nevertheless, as fate would have it, I did find Joey and we scheduled a trial run on the day of our engagement shoot. It went so well! Not only was Joey patient and kind, but she delivered a look that I loved so much, I wanted the same style for the day of my wedding. My makeup felt light and looked very natural - essentially I "looked like myself," which is exactly what I was hoping for. Joey not only went above and beyond by coming to my home to get ready ridiculously early in the morning, but she came afterwards to do touch-ups! I had a long gap in between my ceremony and the reception, and it was so nice of her to come pretty me up again. She also gave me great tips on how to remove my makeup at the end of the day. I love love loved working with Joey! Thank you for making me feel special on my big day! Photo credits: Michelle Chang Photography

This review is for Joey. Writing this after two weeks to ensure I don't let emotions get in the way…read morebecause I had strong, sad emotions on the day of. I had Joey as my artist. It was for my city hall wedding. Summary below. Detailed review followed. Tl:dr: South Asians - find somebody else. The eye makeup was great but that was about it. The complexion matching and evening out Skin tone wasn't great. I have a pretty nice skin with no acne or scars - with one caveat. I'm south Asian so I have dark circles and slightly darkened skin around my lips. And Joey had neither the right products or the experience to even those out. We removed and reapplied the full base three times and still didn't get the results. The hair were rushed and hence didn't have the nice smooth, flowy bun which was the brief. Joey tried but I don't think this is their strength. Also, we decided to plan this in a few weeks so I didn't have time to do a trial. Definitely got burned. Joey is a nice person but I definitely wouldn't have chosen them if I'd done a trial. Pros: 1. Both Fiona and Joey were good to talk to and coordinate. Joey came on time and was prompt with communication. 2. One star for the eye shadow application which was great. Lashes took a while to get right but great when they did! Cons: 1. Complextion: My biggest brief to them was about evening out my skin tone around my lips and covering up my dark circles. And after three application and a cry session later - still didnt not get it right. She didn't have the right products to color correct or match the tone. Results: great eyelids with dark circles underneath and darkness around lips and on chin. 2. Hair: I'd asked for a simple, loose bun with smooth hair. We'd even aligned on pictures. But because we'd spent so much time on the face, she didn't have time to smoothen and straighten. Only ended up curling into a tight bun full of hair spray and wax to get over that we hadn't straightened the hair. 3. The base makeup didn't stay well beyond 5 hours (maybe because of the rushing at the end) and it became patchy after 5-6 hours
