If there's any doubt in your mind on who to choose for your wedding makeup literally look no where else! Leslie did such an amazing job with my bridal makeup and listened to every like and dislike during my trial run and made me feel the most beautiful ever on my wedding day! Not only did she fit me into her schedule but also my two bridesmaids, mother and grandmother! She also does a beautiful job with older skin texture! The positivity, peace and light she brings with her can't be missed. Thank you Leslie for such a wonderful experience every Bride should have on their wedding day read more

She understood my skin type and worked her magic--no cakey finish, just a beautiful, natural glow. Highly recommended! read more

Shirrell Beauty is wonderful! I needed someone professional to help me with my make up for a wedding and Shirrell Beauty did a fantastic job! Including my hair- I had many compliments from the wedding, thank you! I wanted something that "pops" since I just gave birth and wanted to feel more refreshed and not have that "tired" look and I was satisfied with the outcome. I showed Leslie at least two photos on what I wanted for hair and make up and she ended up combining two of the styles together. Easy going, very professional and personable. read more

Leslie did makeup for me, my sisters, cousin, and mom for my wedding a couple weeks ago. We couldn't have been happier! She made us look glam while accentuating our features. Because I have dark eyes and eyebrows, I wanted more of a soft look, which she achieved. She's also super friendly, communicative, and fun to be around. Would highly recommend. I have attached a photo from my trial, because my wedding photos show my makeup as well. read more

It was the afternoon for the Holliday party my company was putting in at The Hyatt in Santa Clara and the lady who did my hair and make up the year before could not me found. I looked around Yelp and found shirrellbeauty.com ! Wow it was a very rainy night! I wasn't sure if my hair would do anything! Leslie Tong seemed to do magic with my hair (well with awesome hairspray) :) she gave me braids and curls that were really cute. I brought an adorable white hair piece for the back. She also made my face look very pretty without going crazy with the colors. I really like what she did with the natural colors that worked well with the red sweater I was wearing that night. Leslie was very easy to get along with and to talk to! I would suggest her for any party or wedding! I hope to get her next year too! -Jen read more

Leslie was such a pleasure to work with! I had reached out to a different MUA who was unavailable for my wedding and she suggested Leslie. I'm so glad she did! In addition to being professional and friendly through the booking process and trial, she added so much to the morning of my wedding day! She did the makeup for all 3 bridesmaids and 2 mothers, plus my hair and makeup. Another lovely lady named Sharlene did everyone else's hair. Every single person in my group LOVED the way they looked and really enjoyed the time with Leslie and Sharlene. They were both so fun, patient, and kind. I felt like the most beautiful version of myself! What more could a bride want? Bonus points - Leslie even put together my flower hair piece for me! read more

This review is long overdue...I hired Leslie several years ago for a friend's wedding, to do both her hair and make up. She was great to work with on all stages of planning. As an event planner, I love working with vendors who hold their quality of work at a high standard and that also includes the admin piece. I've met many MUAs/hair stylists and not all are pleasant...Leslie on the other hand is super sweet, genuinely friendly, and her attention to detail is exquisite! She was easy to work with on the front end and made it easy to schedule a bridal consultation as well as confirm arrival time, etc. day-of wedding. Her willingness to travel and reasonable pricing absolutely made a difference also. She was very accommodating to the bride's schedule. She also was reassuring to the bride as this bride does not like to wear any make up and I mean, none! Needless to say, Leslie worked her magic on both the bride's hair and make up. I wish I still had some photos handy, but those have gotten lost in my files! I would absolutely recommend her for other clients and whenever it's time for a big/special occasion for me, she will be my MUA and hair stylist! ;) read more

She is one of the nicest person I've met. I don't usually put make up on but she made sure that I was comfortable with the entire process. She made sure that you get what look you want. I would definitely come back. read more

Leslie is the best! She is so welcoming and friendly! Definitely made seating for 2 hours for make up and hair enjoyable and fun! I've never felt so beautiful in my life. Leslie did my hair and make up on two separate days for my ceremony and reception. Both days I felt like such a glamorous bride. I wish I had close up pictures, I'll update me review when I get pictures from my photographer. Don't hesitate to reach out to Leslie! Thank you Leslie for such a wonder experience and for making me feel so beautiful on my special days! read more

I absolutely adore Leslie. She is fun yet professional and works so well with you to get the exact look you want. I only had Leslie do my makeup for my wedding. I wanted something a little more natural for my wedding and she was absolutely nailed it. My bridesmaids also loved their makeup. Her prices are super reasonable in my opinion after searching up similar styles/works that go for hundreds more than Leslie. She has a discount on bridal makeup if you get her full services for your wedding party as well. You won't be disappointed by her! read more

This is a waaaaaay overdue review. I was supposed to write this back in August, and it's December already. So sorry Leslie!! Anyway, here's the review. I can't put any other word than PERFECT! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and it was more than AMAZINGLY AMAZING. I didn't go with a natural look because there was nothing natural in my wedding. Everything was purple, so I asked her to put purple glitters on my eyes, and she has just the perfect glitter color (unbelievable)! Also I have super long hair and want to keep the length of it, she braided it and gave it volume, again, just the perfect hair style I like. I got tons and tons of compliments on my hair and makeup, and if that wasn't enough, the best thing I LOVED about her makeup skill was that the makeup stayed like new the whole night. I'm a ballerina, so my first dance was almost a full ballet piece, and I also had an actual ballet piece with my dance group. I was sweating like hell in my dance dress, but my face still glowed like nothing happened. I sweat a lot on my face, but after dabbing it with tissue, I was surprised that the makeup didn't smear on the tissue at all, but only the sweat. My face was not oily or anything during the whole night. It was beyond awesome! Pictures worth a thousand words, so here are some pics of my makeup and hair for your references. Book her, you won't regret. She's great! Thank you so much, Leslie. read more

Leslie beside her beautiful talent. What I like the most about her is her personality, not only she has the best customer service. But, she will make you feel like you are one of her friends and make you feel so comfortable and easy to talk to. I let her know how I want my make up and hair done and she delivered it more than I expected. It's my first time doing lashes and she thought me how to put it on and remove it (love the free tutorial). Thank You so much Leslie for being accommodating and I really hope to work with you again. read more

I had a wonderful experience getting my hair and makeup done with Leslie for my bridal boudoir photo shoot! Leslie is so nice, professional and knew exactly what I wanted from the few pictures I sent her. She kept my look glam but also natural, which I love! My pictures turned out so well and I never felt more beautiful! I would highly recommend Leslie for any hair and makeup needs, she's amazing!! read more

YOUR SEARCH IS OVER! I found Leslie through friends and ended up following her on Instagram. She did a few of my friends' weddings and they all looked so beautiful! I had my bridal trial in November 2017 and we had so much fun! I loved her work and knew my search was over. Leslie is so personable, welcoming and so friendly. I felt like I knew her before my trial. Between November 2017 and my wedding in June 2018, Leslie was always on top of things and always responded to questions in a timely manner. I loved the detailed contract and timeline she provided. With inevitable stress, hair and makeup was something I knew I didn't have to worry about (so important on your big day!). Leslie and her team were great on my wedding day. They were on time, bright and super early in the morning, set up quickly, and I was able to sleep for a bit longer (1.5 hours!) because I really had no worries even if they had 13 girls to work on before 11am. I loved my makeup and hair! I'm still getting compliments! I also have to mention that a month before the wedding I ended up changing how I wanted my hair from what we did on my trial, and Leslie did it perfectly! I was (and still am) so, so satisfied! If you're looking for someone who you can trust and have a fun time with while getting ready on your big day, Leslie is definitely your girl. I am so grateful for you, Leslie! read more

I got married 6 day's ago and reached out to Leslie via Yelp. I have to say totally impressed by her professionalism, follow up and follow through. From the start, she was attentive, knowledgeable and very clear in how she would help me. She asked me to send a few pictures of how I envisioned or wanted to look on my wedding day, and we did arrange a trial & hair session at her home, to ensure the looks were on point. I have to say, she transformed me and it was better than I expected. Leslie is also punctual and showed up at my wedding day right on time( few mins ) before which was great considering we were on a tight schedule. I think what I loved most about her was her personality, she was easy to work with and friendly and attentive like a friend who wanted her bride to look the best on her special day as well as concerned at all moments if I felt the makeup was too much or too little but the final effect was amazing. I was so very happy with the results and she was very flexible and her pricing was worth the money spent, just so happy with her and would return to her again. Thank you, Leslie! read more

Leslie was fabulous to work with! After my trial consultation, I knew right away that I was in good hands with my makeup. I provided some sample pictures to reference and she worked with me on my vision - carefully listening to my wants, despite how picky I was. She did my makeup for both engagement photos and wedding day. She is professional, highly skilled, and sure knows how to make a girl feel like a princess ... I'll be calling her again for future special occasions. High 5, chest-bump, 2 thumbs up for Leslie! Highly recommend! read more

My review is long overdue. I found Leslie on Yelp and decided to inquire for a trial for my January wedding. She was super responsive, personalable, and honestly just a easy person to talk to and get along with. I ended up booking her for my wedding shortly after my trial. I was kind of nervous during my trial because I have uneven folds on my eyelids, but she was able to make me feel comfortable and confident. She was proactive on how to make it even better on my wedding day, which I really appreciated. Leslie's work is amazing! Since I had a rather large wedding party who was getting hair and makeup done (10 people total), she contact some other artists in her network to help with the wedding day. I would highly recommend Leslie for your hair and makeup needs. Per pricing is also very competitive. I honestly can't say enough great things. read more

After my bridal trial with Leslie, I just knew I had to book her for my wedding day and I'm so thankful I did! Leslie is a joy to work with. Her professionalism and warm personality made the morning of my wedding day smooth, fun and memorable. Since I had a big bridal party (which consisted of seven girls total, but only five requested beauty services) and family (mom, aunt and grandma) who wanted hair and makeup done, Leslie and her assistant arrived promptly to my hotel room at 5:45 a.m. on my wedding day. It was a long morning, but Leslie and her assistant kept my bridal party and I on schedule while doing a phenomenal job on everyone's hair and makeup. As the bride, I loved the outcome of my bridal hair and makeup. More so, I loved how Leslie was open to any notes I had for my hair and makeup. When adjustments needed to be made, Leslie quickly attended to my emails and accommodated any changes. She did an amazing job helping me achieve the bridal style I envisioned for my wedding day! From booking Leslie to discussing with her about what I envisioned for my wedding day, I couldn't be more thankful for her beauty services on my special day. If you're a bride looking for a makeup and hair stylist who is professional and personable, Leslie is the gal you will want to have beautify you! read more

Leslie did my bridal and bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding, and it was such a wonderful experience. I just love, I mean LOVE, what she did for us, makeup and hair. Leslie is so friendly, funny, and very professional. You can't go wrong with choosing Leslie for bridal makeup. I did my bridal makeup trial with her a few months before the actual wedding and pretty much decided on the spot that she would be my makeup artist! She was spot on with what I pictured of natural and soft bridal look (and all my bridesmaids + Mom agreed!). Additionally, Leslie was very responsive and patient with my questions, requests, and ideas with makeup looks. Usually I would receive a response from her within 24-hours. Last (but not least), Leslie was absolutely on-time (even with another appointment prior) and did all four makeup+hair beautifully and professionally. She was very sociable with us and not shy about sharing makeup tips with the wedding party (we are all makeup newbies). Her being sweet and calm definitely helped keeping me calm on the big day. Lastly, for the amount and quality of makeup work she had done for my wedding, her price range was very reasonable. read more

Leslie and Shar were amazing!! They did my makeup/hair for my wedding and reception. I was their first indian bride and they were super excited/confident about it so I wasn't nervous at all. I was somewhat clueless about the look I wanted so showed them some pictures and they added their ideas to give me a glam bride look. I now look at my wedding pictures and that was exactly what I wanted to look like on my big day. They are also very reasonable and have no hidden fees/charges. They were happy to come get me and my mother/sister ready at 3am in the morning Leslie was probably the easiest vendor to communicate with which was a huge plus (even before she was about to head to the hospital to deliver her baby she shot me an email) I highly recommend them!! read more

I needed a makeup artist for a photoshoot and asked for Leslie's help. She did a brown smokey eye on me with natural lips and the makeup was flawless. She was informative and really thorough during our makeup session and needless to say, her blending abilities are amazing! When I received the photo back from the shoot, the makeup turned out fantastic - not too light, not too dramatic and this was my assessment from an un-retouched photo. I would highly recommend Leslie for any task - video, weddings, studio shoots, graduations or just even a date night. Check out my photo to see Leslie's skills (photo taken by Boudoir by Lily - http://www.yelp.com/biz/boudoir-by-lily-san-francisco). read more

I've had the pleasure of having Leslie do my wedding hair and makeup and I can't thank her enough! The make up and hair turned out absolutely perfect, for me, the bridesmaids and the mothers. Everyone really loved how they looked, I felt fabulous and my now husband was floored. My BM were even asking which products Leslie used on them so they could go out and purchase them. Throughout the whole process, Leslie made everything so easy with great advice and incredible flexibility, while being open to feedback and always having a great friendly attitude! For my engagement photos, I knew I wanted to do them at the Palace of Fine Arts in the City, since my parents took their wedding photos there. My photographer suggested we start at 7 am for the best lighting and to avoid the crowds. Leslie didn't bat an eye when decided to do the wedding trial make up at 4 AM! She is very professional, such a sweetheart and also super affordable when comparing other MA in the area!! Thank you Leslie!! read more

I feel so happy after she does my makeup! I highly recommend her!!! She is my favorite!!! read more

Leslie and her assistant recently did makeup and hair for my wedding. She did makeup and hair for me, make up for my mom and the mother of the groom. She had an assistant do makeup for my bridesmaids. Everything went very smoothly. Her assistant and herself showed up early to set up in time. They both did a great job. My hair and makeup stood up to the winds of an outdoor wedding. The style was exactly what I wanted. Leslie is very sweet, knowledgeable, and reasonable in her rates. I highly recommend her. read more

Leslie did mine and several of my bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding back in October. I did my trial first with her and she did an awesome job so I booked her.

Leslie is amazing! I cannot say enough about how great she is and how beautiful she made me feel on my wedding day. I don't really wear too much make up and my husband hates makeup, but she was able to create a flawless look that looked so natural. During the hair and makeup trial, she was really patient with me, since I didn't really know what I was looking for in a hair style, but she was able to pull off the most perfect boho look for me. I would recommend her time and time again! read more

Leslie is the perfect person to do your bridal make up. She is kind talented detail oriented customer service oriented and overall joy to be around. My mother and my best friend and myself loved the make up she did on the day of the wedding. When you do the make up trail she is to open feedback about what you want changed and will integrate the feedback into the work she does on the day of the wedding. Highly and 100 percent recommend her!! read more

I've had the wonderful pleasure of seeing Leslie work on SEVERAL occasions. She is amazingly organized and VERY professional. When booking with her, you can expect to receive an all star treatment.

Leslie always makes sure her client is comfortable and stays in communication with them throughout makeup application, to ensure they're happy with the services being provided.

Leslie recently did the hair and makeup for myself, mother of the bride, and the bridesmaids in my wedding and I could not be happier to have found her! All of my bridesmaids and mother of the bride looked absolutely stunning and the entire process was so smooth.

I would highly recommend her if you are looking for quality service and a friendly face. read more

BOOK. HER. DO NOT LOOK ANY FURTHER - BOOK HER!!! This might be my first review on Yelp ever, but I just had to put my 2 cents in about Leslie. I had my bridal trial with her back in March, and knew on the spot that I wanted to work with her on my big day. Echoing everyone else, Leslie was super sweet, warm, funny, PATIENT, and incredibly professional!!! As a bride, you want everything to be absolutely perfect, and for things to run smoothly without any hiccups. That is exactly what Leslie delivered! On the day of the wedding, Leslie not only arrived early, but she came into the room cheerful and ready to go. She helped all 4 of my bridesmaids and my mom with makeup - each of them with different skin tones and complexion - and all 5 of them hopped off her chair looking absolutely radiant and beautiful. As for me, Leslie was able to recreate the exact look we tested out during the trial run, down to my specific lip color mix. For my hair, I presented her with fresh blooms and greenery (somewhat of a surprise), and she totally ran with it. I'll be the first to admit that I'm crazy picky, but Leslie exceeded my expectations, and I honestly could not have been happier with how my makeup and hair turned out that day!!! Leslie's expertise and professionalism fit the bill of a great vendor, but her composure, attention to detail, and warmth makes her a DREAM to work with. Literally everyone that sat on the chair had an amazing experience - she totally keeps you entertained, calm, and collected. I have nothing but good words to say, and I would recommend her to anyone!!! THANK YOU LESLIE - YOU ARE GODSEND. read more

Leslie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was quick to respond to my email inquiry about setting up a hair & make-up trial for my destination wedding. She made things easy and clear in terms of setting up an appointment as well as what I needed to do to prepare for the day. Even after just speaking with her, I knew I was in good hands for my bridal hair & makeup trial! When it came to the actual appointment the experience was great. Leslie was incredibly nice and so easy to work with. She knew exactly what she was doing and was able to help me come up with the perfect look for my wedding day. She even wrote up incredibly detailed notes for the actual stylist for my destination wedding - who was incredibly impressed with it by the way! I cannot recommend Leslie more! She was fantastic throughout the entire process! read more

I contacted Leslie about doing my wedding makeup before I was even engaged. Sounds a little crazy, but I found her facebook page by accident and immediately fell in love with the beautiful work she does. She is a true artist, and SO friendly!

Thank you so much Leslie- you're amazing!!! read more

This review is overdue!... I originally came across Leslie's page after finding out in late Dec '18 that my original stylist (husband's cousin) would no longer be doing my bridal hair/makeup. I went into complete panic mode as my wedding was just a month away and I now had to come up with a last minute makeup/hair budget. After contacting several stylists who were ridiculously out of my budget, I came across Leslie's page. Her work looked amazing and I was super excited to find out that she fell within my budget. Super responsive from the beginning. I reached out to her and explained my situation and she was able to fit me in for an in-person meeting, not a consultation. She was so understanding of my concerns and I left that meeting feeling at ease. Man did she deliver! A month later and the whole early morning session for my wedding day was awesome. We were chatting away the whole time, while she still made sure to check on how I was doing and offering me drinks. I did not want to look cakey or look too different from myself and she completely understood that and reflected that through the time she took on making sure my makeup looked more towards the natural side. I cannot do makeup or hair myself and I don't know what I would have done for my big day had it come down to that. Honestly, the cousin bailing on me was a blessing in disguise. I would not have looked as amazing as I did or felt on my big day had I not come across Leslie. My husband loved it as well and could not stop complimenting me. I was so sad when the time came to take my hair apart, I absolutely loved it! I received many compliments that day and dedicated a whole appreciation post for her on my social media soon afterwards. I have not stopped recommending her to others since then. Leslie is an amazing and talented woman! I will most definitely go to her for any future styling needs. Thank you Leslie! read more

Leslie is an awesome MUA as well as a person. I loved how I looked on my wedding day, and everyone, including the photographer, asked who did my makeup and hair because they did an amazing job. Leslie made me feel special while still looking like myself. She had great suggestions and was patient, listened to my ideas, attentive to details, very professional, and super responsive to emails (despite us being in different time zones leading up to the wedding). She was transparent regarding pricing and was very productive and efficient during the trial run. Leslie even gave a touch up kit to use during the wedding, which proved to be useful! My makeup looked great in person as well as in the photos. Leslie is a such a wonderful, positive person, and I would recommend others to book her for their special events! read more
