As a mom, I really appreciated how professional and prepared Daisy & Natalia were. The makeup and hair was stunning--flawless, glowing, and perfect for photos, yet still age-appropriate.

I couldn't find any available or responsive MUAs and was reluctantly accepting I wouldn't get to have the look I wanted. But then I found Natalia! Messaged her late Thursday night and she got back to me in the morning. She squeezed me in for the next day, connected me with an amazing hairstylist Adriana, made booking with both super easy and quick. Natalia's studio is so sweet and welcoming. I showed up with only a headpiece in hand and a theme. No inspo pics and asked them to have fun and do their magic! They sure did!! I felt amazing, best glam I've ever had. They got me done abit sooner than expected, which was so helpful so I could get back to help before the event started! I received sooo many amazing and genuine compliments all night long, people who've seen me daily, for years were even shocked bc they didn't recognize me immediately. I felt gorgeous and starring their contacts because they are now my superstars for that! By the end of the night my look was still perfectly in tact! I was so exhausted after an amazing event that I just crashed when I got home but when I woke up, I honestly could have gone to another event - everything was still on, in place and looking ready to keep going. Oh and the cherry on top, I could do that bc I didn't feel heavy or piled on, from the makeup or the hair products!! If you can, BOOK with her IMMEDIATELY! It'll be the best (and easiest) glam decision you'll make. THANK YOU again Natalia (and Adriana) for making me feel and look better than I could have dreamt of.

I found this place when I searched for "top 10 hair dressing saloons" and the prices were online…read moreand seemed more reasonable compared to other top places which is why I went. I stick with Kenny for all the times I went here and he spends a lot of time to ensure the blond highlights are even and not much damage caused and he has been doing a dark color for my roots to cover the roots. He has been doing steam etc. at the end the hair looks good and I was happy with the color. All the extra care means a lot of hours waiting so be prepared to spend all your afternoon. I did get compliments on my hair when he did my hair so it is worth it. They also pamper you with drinks if you like. However it is not cheap. First time I went thinking highlights was 200 dollars and it ended up being something like 400 dollars because they split the highlight from toner online and you have to buy both separately. You won't get one or the other everyone gets both so I was quite shocked about this glitch and didn't realize my highlight was going to add up to 400+ dollars including tip just to get highlights. To my surprise they will give you a price and make you sign a form so it is almost like an agreement and I guess it is because of this glitch to make sure everyone understands the real pricing but I will be honest my first time I felt deceived (because I went thinking highlight was 200 dollars) but I am glad they did this so I didn't see the high price after I got the hair done. So my first time I signed up for highlight and cut but after I saw the real prices (both services would have cost me 700+, I decided not to get the hair cut because I felt this was ridiculous amount of money. Because Kenny did a good job I went back but could only afford highlight... One time I asked for "partial" and when I got partial usually they did everything including sides but not the back (which is not seen) to avoid too much damage and price difference is only 50 dollars but I learned the partial here means only top of the head so my sides were left. I asked if it can be converted to full because I didn't want the contrast of having brown hair with blond hair and it looks cheap and I was filling to pay the extra 50 dollars (when you already pay 400, what is extra 50 to get the full head) but it was refused because he didn't have time saying next time he can do full. Overall, they do good coloring job but prices are not cheap and you will spend all your afternoon (like 5+ plus) to get your highlight. I recommend Kenny. He also has a lot of reviews from other customers which was why I choose him and he didn't disappoint

With all the stressors of a wedding and managing so many different things, Sharon was someone who I know I didn't need to worry about doing an amazing job. She is SO good at what she does (both hair and makeup!) and did all my bridesmaids, mom, MIL, and SIL looks the day of and stuck to the timeline. I had a wide range of ethnicities in my getting ready group and she was able to do such a good job with every single one. I've never felt prettier than I did with Sharon's work. From the trial, she listens to you and is totally receptive to feedback on any adjustments you want to make. She is so easy to work with and she will make you feel absolutely stunning based on whatever look you are going for. Book Sharon if you want to feel your best!

Sharon's work will make you feel so so so pretty!…read more I had a trial with her which I was so happy with. Honestly, Sharon is so good at what she does, I don't even think I needed a trial because I absolutely loved what she did but it gave me peace of mind and reassurance. I told her all my concerns (oily skin, hair that doesn't hold curls, etc) and she made sure it was all addressed. I had SO many compliments after my trial and on wedding day. My hair normally doesn't hold a curl but I wanted cohesive waves and they held the entire night without making my hair feel stiff. She was perfectly on time too. Her arrival, set up and doing my mom's makeup, my sister's hair and makeup and then mine. She ended perfectly at the end time we aimed for too. I was also pretty nervous on wedding morning and getting my hair and makeup done was surprisingly soothing. I've never felt prettier in makeup than I did with Sharon's work. I'd hire here again for any event I'd want to look extra perfect for.

The artists just know what works well on Asian features, and I've never felt more beautiful! I love the natural yet enhanced makeup look, and the team here has that nailed. Sarah used the notes from my trial and made sure all the feedback I had was taken into consideration for my final look. I also had some skin issues from travel/stress but the base makeup was so light and natural it literally looked like I had perfect skin. Honestly magic! Sarah also did the most gorgeous work on my mom, who was nervous about her damaged hair and has extremely sensitive skin. Sarah offered some great suggestions for skincare, and did the most glowy natural makeup look paired with a lovely blowout for her - she said she felt so much younger! Everyone looked perfect and the looks lasted all day and night. I cried so much walking down the aisle, but the makeup still looked pretty much flawless the rest of the day. Coordination was super seamless - pricing is transparent and they provide an easy timeline for the number of services needed on the wedding day. 100% worth the investment! And approved by Asian moms too!

I know this is about makeup, but I first fell in love with her personality, and then her skills are top-notch like I don't know where the training came from, but it definitely is super professional and incredibly knowledgeable. All of the makeup she uses is the highest quality. She's really into proper skin care as well and has so many good tips and tricks that you can apply to your own make up routine when you don't have a professional like her around to do your face ha ha. I hired Beatrix to do my make up for my birthday because I was turning 37 and wanted to feel like I was only turning 27! Mission accomplished she gave me a fresh glow Dewey face, perfectly plump lips that I still have not been able to replicate for some reason, ha ha, and this effortless Fresh face Look that made me look insanely pretty but also like I wasn't trying at all. It was perfect.! She was quick and so fun to talk to you. I almost didn't wanna leave and I even invited her to come to my birthday party! Everyone complimented me all night, which is something that doesn't happen often when I do my own makeup, even though I consider myself medium skilled ha ha anyways I'm really glad I did it. No regrets!

I emailed her, and she got back to me super quickly. On the day of the lesson, she showed up right on time. I liked her personality too, she was very personable and friendly. You can tell how experienced she is from the way she demonstrates her techniques. We went through everything from full makeup to hair, and we recorded the whole session. I've been rewatching the videos over the last few days to practice. I picked up so many helpful tips I hadn't thought about before, like better ways to shape and enhance my eyebrows, better bronzer application, and little tricks for both hair and makeup. She also mentioned she'd send over a list of recommended tools afterward (I definitely realized I'm missing a few things, like stuff for crimping hair). It was valuable to go back to the basics with her guidance and see exactly how to level up my everyday techniques. Highly recommend if you're looking to improve your skills!
