I cannot recommend Jessica enough! I used her for my engagement photo trial and bridal/mom wedding…read moreday makeup, and the experience was flawless. She is incredibly professional, kind, gentle, and responds to texts almost instantly, which took so much stress out of the planning process. After my trial, she took all my feedback and executed my wedding day look perfectly. Most importantly, my makeup did not budge at all--it stayed put through the entire day and survived all my happy tears! If you want an artist who is talented, truly listens to feedback, and delivers high-quality work, book her immediately!!

I cannot recommend Jina enough!! I first went to her for my wedding makeup trial, and I was…read morehonestly blown away. She took the time to really analyze my face shape, skin type, and features. As someone with very oily skin, I've always struggled to find makeup that looks good and actually lasts, but she absolutely nailed it. My skin looked flawless and smooth. The makeup lasted all day without breaking down, and in photos it translated beautifully. I genuinely felt like a K-pop idol. What impressed me the most was how detail-oriented and thoughtful she was. Every step felt intentional, and she clearly knows exactly how to enhance someone's natural features rather than just applying makeup the same way on everyone. After that trial, I loved working with her so much that I immediately booked a makeup lesson with her. And wow, I learned more in that session than I have from years of watching tutorials online. She shared techniques and tips I had never heard anywhere before, and they completely changed the way I approach my own makeup. I would have never known if I hadn't taken her class. Because of how amazing she is, I also booked her for my future engagement photoshoot makeup and my wedding day. These are some of the most important days of my life, and I trust her completely to make me look and feel my absolute best. I would not trust anyone else to do my makeup on my big day. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly skilled, meticulous, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does, she is it. I trust her with my life when it comes to makeup, and I'm so grateful I found her.

I was pretty nervous and anxious during my wedding day, but I felt so at ease after I got my makeup and hair done.

I could have never been able to replicate her work, and now I want to take make-up lessons from her. She slayed, honestly.

I had gotten a facial a week ago, and my face was turned upside down.. very sensitive and red spots, and unevenness in the facial texture. But she knew exactly what needed to be done!! I was so surprised to see all the redness and bumps be covered up like there was nothing to begin with. And even after I removed all the makeup, my skin wasn't irritated at all. She is also very sweet and funny! I was with her for more than 2 hrs due to my skin condition, but there was never a dull moment :) I trust her expertise and experience, and I will choose her again for my next special occasion!

Which brought me to Theodora to have my thick hair tamed by the talented Somi. I honestly didn't know what to expect besides going back to my former home of Koreatown. I was pleasantly surprised to have a free parking structure to park in, along with a grocery store and one of the last remaining Tom and Tom coffee spots! You enter the salon through the main galleria doors and it's located easily on the first floor with clear signage. It was popping off on a Saturday! Every chair was filled with hip young people, I felt a little out of my element at first, not gonna lie hahaha I was then taken back by the wonderful Chloe to get my locker for my stuff and for the most amazing shampoo I've had in a long time! After that, I met the stylist Somi and she assessed my face shape, hair pattern, and took it to account my vision and need for low maintenance. Her process clearly worked because I love my haircut and I couldn't believe that some people noticed it from a Zoom meeting yesterday! It was that transformative! The hospitality and care here reminded me of my hair salon in Osaka, Japan (Grace Alley)-- which made me feel comfortable going to a new place. I'm super happy and look forward to seeing how my hair grows out and longest haircut will last. If all good, then I'll be a loyal customer!

The…read morestaff is talented, the salon is great, and I stayed loyal because I genuinely liked coming here. Unfortunately, my most recent experience completely changed my perspective. I had to reschedule an appointment due to the insane LA traffic -- something that's honestly unavoidable at times -- and instead of showing any understanding or flexibility for a long-time customer, I was told I would need to pay a deposit just to reschedule. After years of supporting this salon, that response felt disappointing and impersonal. Loyalty clearly doesn't mean much here. There are plenty of salons in LA that value their returning customers and handle situations like this with more professionalism and empathy. Sadly, Theodora lost a custome

I've always heard great things, and it absolutely did not disappoint. From start to finish, I felt truly taken care of. The salon itself is beautiful, well-kept, and feels very luxurious. I had my appointment about two weeks ago with a stylist named Justin, and he was AMAZING--easily one of the nicest and most attentive hairstylists I've ever met. We got along right away, and he really listened to what I wanted. He checked in with me throughout the appointment and even let me record him while he shared styling tips (which I really appreciated since I'm terrible at styling my own hair!). The stylist working next to him was also very friendly, which made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend this salon. Thanks again, Justin!
