I had the most AMAZING experience with Hien for my wedding. Along with Metzli (hairstylist) and…read moretheir assistants, They were able to get my 8 bridesmaids, mother and MIL and myself all done before the estimated time. They were super efficient and they made it so fun and easy in the morning. The makeup itself was really light and didn't feel cake-y at all. I'm really glad I had the makeup trial with Hien and hair with Metzli beforehand too. I am a zero makeup user day to day so I was looking for something minimal while still having it stand out enough for people to know I am the bride. Communication through email and text only- Hien was very responsive so there were no issues or miscommunications. I would definitely recommend Hien if you're looking for someone who's not heavy handed with their makeup looks! Unless that's something you're going for, she can pull that off too!

I reached out to Hien in May 2021 to do makeup and hair for both my wedding trial/engagement photo…read moreshoot in June 2021 and wedding in January 2022. I sent her an email to inquire about her availability and she responded the next day. Hien only does makeup and she collaborates with another artist to style hair. Hien was the only point of contact and so all questions were directed to her for both hair and makeup. Hien was friendly, professional, and quick to respond to any of my questions throughout the entire process. I scheduled my trial with her on the day of my engagement photo shoot and LOVED how my makeup turned out. She assesses how comfortable you are with makeup and asks what your preferences are so that she can get a sense of what would be most suitable. I really appreciated that she provided suggestions on what to do if I were to cry or if my skin got oily. By the end of the day, my makeup still looked great despite sweating a little from running around on the beach. On the day of the wedding, she came on time at 7AM and set up all of her things very quickly. Hien and Metzli did HMU for my mom, the groom's mom, and myself. They were able to finish hair and makeup for all three of us by 10AM as promised, and everyone was very happy with their look. My mom even said that her makeup looked better compared to when she had her makeup done for my brother's wedding a few years ago. My makeup still looked great even after all the sweating I did from dancing by the end of the night. I would absolutely recommend Hien to anyone looking to get their makeup done for any occasion

First and foremost, Christine absolutely nailed my wedding day look! Going into this process, one…read morethe biggest things I was concerned with was how sensitive my skin can be through different seasons and/or travel or with certain make-up products, and Christine really used the best products that looked flawless on my skin! I opted for the airbrush option and I am so glad I did. My look stayed through all the happy tears and dance floor shenanigans, and it's just a testament to how great of a job she did. What I also appreciate is how wonderfully she integrated the minor changes I wanted to make from my trial to the actual wedding, and how beautifully it all turned out. She was truly mindful of all the details I requested and in my moments of "I don't know what do you think looks good", she made the best selections for me. One thing that really stuck with me was how she was dedicated to using products and techniques to accentuate her brides' beauty, and it shows in all the clients she works with, and I truly felt this on my day. On the day of, she and her team were very efficient and even wrapped up ahead of schedule, which really got us in a great position for the rest of our day as well! Her and her team really made me, my bridal party, and our moms feel so beautiful. Thank you so much Christine!

Come day of the wedding, she arrived and was set-up on time. All my bridesmaids LOVED her, she made getting ready so much fun! And they made all of us look STUNNING! I also cried and sweat so much throughout the day and my makeup and hair STAYED pristine! (in fact my tears rolled down my cheek without ruining the makeup at all!) Definitely looking to do a girls date and take one of her make-up classes after this!

Nancy is absolutely amazing. She has done my make up on numerous occasions. She did my make up when…read moreI was a bridesmaid in a wedding, she's done my graduation make up, she has done trial make up, and she even did make up for my own wedding. What I loved most about Nancy's work the first time was that I literally cried my eyes out at my sister's wedding, and I remember thinking my make up was absolutely ruined, and when I looked in the mirror I had never looked better. The make up stayed Until the next day. The second thing that I loved most about Nancy's work is that she has experience working with little to no eyebrow hair and drawing on eyebrows. This was perfect for me since I do not have eyebrow hair she listened to my critique and made me feel comfortable with somebody else doing something that is very particular to me. Nancy is experienced in all shades and skin textures. She provides you prep work before the day of make up. Nancy makes you a glowing model every single time. I've included some photos below of the multiple times that she has done my make up. I cannot say enough about how professional she is with coordinating her work. She always has clean, make up brushes, and comes prepared with lighting a chair, and a variety of colors /shades. I will be booking a make up class session with her so that I can learn how to do this with my own make up at home. Definitely will be booking with her again, and totally recommend anyone looking for a make up artist to book with Nancy.

She really listened when I provided look and feel, as well as my concerns with my sensitive skin, and dark and puffy under eye circles. And WOW, I could not have been happier with my results.

I went for different looks for each, and she nailed both: soft glam for wedding; sexy beach waves for maternity. I'll update my post with wedding pictures once available. Diane did the hair for my bridal party and everyone looked just perfect. Alyssa is my go-to for maintenance color and cuts, and I just adore her. She knows my hair and does a great job, so much so that I explicitly trust her to do whatever she thinks would look good.

She delivered my vision perfectly. My hair and makeup lasted all night long even through all the happy tears. :) If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I love Haydee !!!!!

Shelby is an actual wedding day makeup goddess!!! I don't even know where to start with this review…read morebecause it's difficult to put into words just how amazing and incredibly talented she is. When I was planning for my original wedding for 10/10/20, I reached out to Shelby (WELL in advance) but sadly she was already booked. Fast forward to peak covid, we made the decision to postpone the wedding to 10/23/21 and the only vendor that wasn't able to accommodate our new date was the MUA I previously hired. I immediately reached out to Shelby for the 2nd time, hopeful that she'd be available for the new date, and she was! I knew it was meant to be so I hired her on the spot before doing my trial. I was an out of town bride so we ended up doing a trial a few months later when I was visiting for the weekend and she made all of my wedding makeup dreams come true. I'm a makeup lover and wanted FULL GLAM for the big day and Shelby delivered 1000%! On top of her extremely talented makeup skills, she is incredibly sweet, has the best energy/so fun to be with and we hit it off instantly. I even decided to do a 2nd trial/glam sesh when I was in town again a couple months before the wedding, just because! Shelby recently opened up her own makeup glam bar/studio Toniq, and we decided to use the studio to get ready on wedding day. It was literally a dream! Toniq is THE most fabulous studio ever and I still can't even believe we had such an amazing location to get ready. We had 9 girls total for both makeup & hair and more than enough space for all of us to glam, and set up breakfast and drinks. Shelby is incredibly accommodating - provided ice, drink coolers, and even surprised us all with babe rosè (which of course we had to use in our getting ready photoshoot)! When we arrived, she already had the music playing and the mood was set for the best glam day ever. Again, it was literally a dream! If you are getting married in San Diego and have the option to get ready at Toniq, I absolutely recommend it. Our getting ready photos are better than I ever imagined and look like they belong in a bridal magazine! Shelby - thank you for everything! Postponing our wedding was challenging, but I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and I'll be forever thankful & grateful to have had you as our MUA. There are simply not enough words to express my gratitude, but I'm so happy I had the chance to work with you and now have so many amazing photos and videos to relive all of the best moments getting glammed with my girls for the big day. These memories will last a lifetime and you truly made me feel like the most beautiful bride (not to mention, my makeup lasted ALL day & night - through A LOT of tears and endless dancing)! My entire bridal party felt the same about their makeup and we all just love and adore you!

I had my engagement photoshoot in San Diego in Balboa Park in January. I was traveling from OC to…read moreSan Diego, so it was important for me to find a mua in SD. Shelby was so quick to respond to my inquiry, she was able to fit me in her schedule, as she was already booked with a morning appointment and my photoshoot was in the afternoon. Shelby's studio was stunning and so clean! I've never gotten my makeup professionally done so well in my life. I was able to show Shelby a few inspo pics and she worked wonders on my face! I was so incredibly happy with the outcome from her use of high quality products and overall knowledge of her craft, Shelby delivered! Thank you for such a great experience, Shelby seriously ladies, do not hesitate to book with her, you won't be disappointed!

Looking for a person that would keep my eyebrows looking as natural as possible was my biggest concern. Lynn was highly recommended and when we met it was an instant match. She really listen when I said that I did not want crazy eye brows. I wanted natural and a little uneven to look even more natural. I didn't want to look like a clown, I wanted a masculine look. Lynn really listen and started lightly. Lynn also let me choose how dark I wanted to go. She gave me tips on how to keep them darker by going darker plus tips on how to rinse, etc . Lynn made sure to inform me that going a little darker would allow them to last longer. I trusted her guidance and she was right. By third visit I decided to go darker and it was a little weird at first but then they lighten up and I was able to find a sweet spot. I love Lynn's work and I'm very happy that I can notice my eye brows now, even outside in the daylight. Thx Lynn, you're the best .
