Hiring Shawna for my June 2024 wedding hair and make-up was one of the best wedding planning…read moredecisions I made! Living in Portland, finding a HMUA who specializes or is experienced with Asian brides is a huge challenge (compared to my hometown of LA). I'm so grateful to have found Shawna! Shawna has years of experience, is so talented in her craft, and is wonderful to work with. She is so professional (clean, prompt, responsive), down to earth, calming, and open to feedback -- all qualities a nervous bride wants on her wedding day! I love Shawna's work for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful, the hair/make-up lasted through the day/night, and her work photographs beautifully (without it looking too cake-y IRL). She also did my mom's hair and make-up, which my mom ended up loving (especially since my mom's has had poor experiences with professional hair and make-up artists in the past). In addition to my wedding hair and make-up, Shawna did two sets of eyelash extensions for me. I'd never gotten lash extensions before, but she was so patient and instructive in explaining the process and teaching me how to take care of them. I cannot recommend Shawna enough for your hair, make-up, or eyelash extension needs!

I was lucky enough to have Shawna do my hair, makeup, and lashes for my wedding in 2019. She also…read moredid the makeup for my bridesmaids. I can't say enough positive things about her! Not only is Shawna professional, clean, and efficient, all the things you want in a makeup artist - she is also so creative, talented and personable. Shawna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I normally wear minimal makeup in my daily life, so for my wedding I was concerned about looking way overdone. Shawna absolutely nailed what I asked for. She made me feel like a more elegant, polished version of myself. She knew right away how to accentuate my features but still have a natural look. The touch up kit made it easy for me to fix my lip color in between photos. For my hair, Shawna did an amazing updo that I never would have been able to do myself! I gave her some creative freedom with the hairstyle and was so happy with the result. An updo is not easy with my hair because it's very thick and heavy, but somehow it stayed in place all night through lots of hugs and dancing. The lash extensions were done a couple days prior to the wedding. She had a few different options ranging from natural-looking to more dramatic. I loved that I didn't worry about sweating or crying off mascara or strip lashes during my wedding, and they looked beautiful! I was a lash newbie but Shawna gave me easy instructions on how to care for them. The process does take a couple hours if you're getting a full set, but it's absolutely worth it. I definitely recommend scheduling a trial if you can, to give you the opportunity to try different options ahead of time, show her inspiration photos, etc. It made me feel much better going into my wedding day knowing we already had an idea of the look I wanted. Do yourself a favor and book her

I had such an amazing experience at Yek Rose, truly a 5-star facial from start to finish!…read more I have very sensitive skin, so I'm always extremely careful about where I go and what products are used on my face. This was one of the best decisions I've made for my skincare routine. The level of care, attention, and professionalism was outstanding. The products felt high-quality and gentle, yet incredibly effective. I had zero irritation, no acne, and no burning afterward, which is rare for me. Instead, I saw an immediate glow right after the session. My skin looked refreshed, hydrated, and healthy. You can tell Yekta truly care about skin health and not just quick results. As someone who takes skincare seriously, I felt completely confident and comfortable throughout the entire experience. Highly recommend to anyone especially if you have sensitive skin and want real results without any damage. I'll definitely be coming back!

While I could have booked Nicole for my wedding hair and makeup, she was unfortunately way too expensive for my wedding budget. However, I had two big priorities when it came to wedding planning: I needed an amazing photographer (CHECK!!), and I needed a really amazing makeup artist. Nicole suggested I go with her contractor Lindsey, and not to downplay AT ALL the work that Lindsey does, but she was much more affordable. The contract and payment process was a bit muddy, and I could have used just a bit more responsiveness, but overall, I couldn't be happier with the end product. Lindsey was an absolute joy to work with. During the trial, she really listened to what I wanted (erase that triple chin, girl, and make my eyes big!!!), and was able to create a look that complemented not only my dress, but the entire style of the wedding. When choosing a HMUA, my big goals were to (a) look amazing, and (b) still look like myself. I look at my wedding photos and know that I look like a really great version of my current self. She also made my sister and my mother look absolutely stunning. She was certainly worth the price, and I'd go with her again in a heartbeat. I'm even trying to persuade my mom now to go and get haircuts from Lindsey. She has a knack for making you look elegant, and I'd love to see what she could do with my mom's hair. Anyway, very talented team. I'm so grateful Lindsey was part of my day.

On the day of the trial I thought she would come to me, but that was not the case (oh no!). I was able to make it to her studio in time to still have my appointment which did not feel rushed at all despite me being late. She is knowledgeable about skin health and gave me great tips on making my skin look as healthy as possible for the wedding day. I do not usually wear makeup and loved the finished product. My husband on the other hand looked at me like I was a total stranger! The morning of the ceremony (which was VERY early in the morning) I asked her to lighten up the look so my husband could recognize me. She did a great job adjusting to my request. I also wanted to make a little change to the hairstyle we had tried, which Marina was able to do perfectly. My husband wanted to have a stress free time getting ready, so she did his hair too! I also had Marina wax the winter coat I was wearing on my legs. Let me tell you, my legs had never been that smooth! Marina is a fantastic esthetician, definitely consider her services for your events or beauty needs!

Didn't seem to have the time of day to help me. I came to the counter with what I was going to buy, and the lady just looked at me. She didn't offer to ring me up or anything, just blatantly stared at me. So I said "I'd like to buy these...???" obviously with a little bit of an attitude by now. She responded with a snarky "Oh, you do?" The only reason that I'm still giving two stars is because I know that they're not all like this. There are a select few of them who give the most pleasant experience, but overall they need a major attitude check when dealing with customers.
