So thankful that I got connected to Shirley. I was looking for a professional makeup artist who was well equipped to do my hair and makeup for my engagement shoot and wedding, and Shirley EXCEEDED my high hopes and expectations! It is rare that a makeup artist knows how to work with Asian makeup and do it well, but she did an outstanding job. This was the first time getting my makeup done professionally so I went into the process of looking for the perfect artist nervously and did a round of interviews before I found Shirley. But "surely," Shirley quickly appeased all my anxiety and was easy to communicate with and I have AMAZING photos to prove it! Like most women, I am my harshest critic when looking through photos of myself, but when I saw previews of my engagement and wedding pics, I knew this was not going to be the case and I wasn't going to be disappointed. Because of Shirley, I don't have to regret my wedding photos the rest of my life, like many women do. And on the most precious day of my life thus far, Shirley came through and delivered not only for me, but also my bridesmaids. I am so grateful for her talent and I have so much respect for her! She's truly a master at what she does and I would highly recommend booking Shirley for both makeup and hair services for your next event! I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to having someone else touch my hair and makeup, but with Shirley I have FULL confidence in her ability. I had her do a little "extra" on me for my engagement shoot, and for my wedding I had her tone it down just a bit...and she proved herself competent in both looks! So whatever it is you're looking for, she does each and every job with supreme excellence! She lives up to her name! Thank you, Shirley!!! read more

I loved my makeup and hair as it was completed for me before I officiated my best friends wedding. Shirley was so nice and very professionally. I was an open canvas when I came to my makeup and she executed it beautifully. My hair was also perfection. Both lasted until the end of the reception. She was on time and very friendly. Thank you so much and I will definitely book you for future occasions. read more

Ms. Shirley is the most sweetest MUA and Hair Stylist I have met. Right from the beginning she established a wonderful relationship with me. She responded the very next day when I left an inquiry on her website and we messaged for a couple of weeks. I was able to book her for my cousin's Jaggo, Wedding, and Reception. Her prices were reasonable and she gave me a discount for booking all three days. Everyone LOVED my looks for all three days and my absolute favorite being the reception look. I'm someone who has dry skin, loves glitter, and goes for a natural/soft glam look which she did beautifully. I got so many compliments on my social medias and in person and she is the one to thank for that. My makeup stayed all day and that's all thanks to her because I wouldn't have been able to do that myself. She takes the time to get to know her clients and what type of look they are going for. She even creates mood boards based on the information you give her and will provide feedback based on what will look better for your skin type. If you have any inspo pics, she creates the same exact look so easily and even provides any touch ups to go if needed. She creates an amazing vibe when working with her and I enjoyed every moment. She is very professional, on time, and overall THE BEST!! My mom and I enjoyed the conversations with her and getting to know about her. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WORKING WITH MS. SHIRLEY AND WOULD RECOMMEND OTHERS TO HER AS WELL!! I will definitely work with her when I get the chance and if I'm in the LA area again. Thank you so much for making my weekend and for making me look so pretty, Ms. Shirley! read more

Shirley is amazing at what she does! So professional and first class !! Anything you want she can do! It was the first time getting my hair/makeup done professionally & I was so stunned to look at myself in the mirror the day of my wedding I almost cried but I had to hold it together since I was minutes away from walking down the aisle. I also had the honor of her dolling me up for my baby shower and man oh man I looked like one sexy pregnant lady. Had I not been pregnant my husband would of put another baby in me. She's the best of the best and words can't explain how amazing she is. She pays attention to detail and is very accountable. You can tell she really cares about her clients she has a great scenes of humor! Such an incredible woman of strength!! Thank you Shirley!! read more

Definitely book Shirley!! She was the first MUA I went to and honestly she did such a great job. Given that it was my first time going to get my makeup done professionally I was nervous cause I heard all these stories about rude makeup artists. But Shirley was nothing like those makeup artists she was very kind and she pays attention to her clients! It was nice having her because she communicates with you to be sure what make up look you're going for. Her skills are incredible, I had her do my graduation party makeup and hair and I felt so beautiful all thanks to her skills! Thank you Shirley for everything! - Amina K. read more

I was very lucky to have Shirley as my MUA for my wedding. She did such an amazing job on myself and the rest of the bridal party. I had a few outfit changes and she helped me get in and out of different gowns so easily. I'm so thankful I was able to work with her, I highly recommend her, she's amazing! read more

Saw her posting on Facebook about lash extensions and contacted her through FB Messenger. She got back to me right away, and it was easy to make an appointment. I liked the fact that she was very willing to work around my schedule to accommodate me. I usually get lash extensions that cost tons of money but only look "OK." The lashes that Shirley put on me are the best I have seen! They look natural but dramatic, and I like them better than regular lash extensions (these are cluster lashes, put on with regular lash glue, rather than the ones that stay on until your real lashes grow out). The price was very reasonable and she worked quickly. I had a ton of fun talking to her because she is very down to earth. I would definitely go back for refills! read more

I got super lucky a few years ago when my husband and I were asked to do an engagement Photoshoot and Shirley who was friends with the photographer was assigned to do my make up. She did such an amazing job, that my husband to this day, can't stop looking at the pics from that Photoshoot. I immediately hired her for my wedding make up artist, and my personal favorite make up artist for all special events and she never ceases to amaze me with her creative and beautiful looks. What makes Shirley such an incredible make up artist, is her ability to listen. I'm not big on a lot of make up, but if I'm going all out... I like to make sure my mua knows the exact look I'm going for and not only open to suggestions but contributes by adding her own touch. She's willing to go above and beyond to make her clients feel and look absolutely stunning! read more

Shirley is VERY talented and the best!!!! She was always on time and ready to start with a smile no matter how early it was (3am!). We had the pleasure of her dolling us up (hair & makeup) for 4 of the 5 events. She knew exactly what would look good on my sister and me. Plus she got my mom and aunt ready (hair & makeup as well) for 2 events too. Shirley helped me get out of my comfort zone and I felt beautiful! She is an expert on south Asian makeup. Shirley is my go to makeup artist for any occasion I want to look my best. Shirley, thank you for making me feel & look my best! read more

She also takes the necessary safety precautions by sanitizing every thing and makes sure you are safe. read more

Shirley was very professional and definitely made me look and feel beautiful on our wedding day back in November 2017. I loved the hair and make up on my bridesmaids too as well as my mom, aunt, flower girl, grandma and sister in law. She really knows how to make you look stunning. I know my guest loved how I looked too. I had a hair and make up trial with her before and after that I knew I didn't need to try with someone else. It was a yes from the beginning. On the day of our wedding, she brought with her one of her specialists to help with the bridesmaids and family hair and make up. They came to our place with all of the equipment. Even though I didn't know exactly what I wanted for my hair and make up, I trusted Shirley she would do an awesome job! I would definitely hire her again for a big event. She made the day go by smoothly and with zero stress. Thank you Shirley! I'm so thankful my coworker referred you to me. You exceeded my expectations! read more

I was so Happy with my girl Shirley's work. She left me just the way I wanted to look for the day of my wedding. I was really scared at first because I have had horrible experiences in the past with other people, but she made me comfortable as soon as I got to her place actually before that when we confirmed our appointment through the phone! She understood that I wanted a very natural glam look for my wedding and I thank her for that! Even my husband loved her work and he is NOT a fan of makeup he wanted me to do it myself because he knew I had bad experiences in the past and he didn't want me looking like a whole different person!so that for me makes it worth trusting Shirley again in future special events in my life! My make up was flawless! Not to mention my very beautiful individual eyelashes very naturally looking I loved them! If you guys are looking for a glam squad she is your Girl!! Thanks Shirley!! read more

Shirley's service were amazing!! I was a bridesmaid for my brother's wedding in early August and she provided exceptional service to not only me but my daughter, mother and aunt. Her pricing is reasonable and her service fee to travel to your location is well worth it especially if you're on a tight schedule! Besides being super professional, Shirley is talented. Many people complimented me that night and loved how Shirley made me look truly gorgeous! Thanks again Chica. I highly recommend her for any event or simply if you're interested in playing with a new look. read more

Shirley is one of the best make up artists out there guys!! She did my wedding day glam and I am SO happy I made that choice. Not only did she take her time, she checked in with me and made sure I was satisfied (which I definitely was) with the look as she was working!! On top of that, my wedding day from start to end was 12 hours long- 8 of which were spent outdoors and many of which were spent dancing and sweating (lol tmi) ... EVEN THEN, by the end of the night my face still looked bomb and I felt flawless!! Do the right thing- hire this girl!! read more
