    This place is great. My fiance picked them to do her hair and makeup for our wedding at a Korean wedding expo. There's main location is here in midtown. We planned our photo engagement session with our photographer and we stopped here a few hours before to get glammed up. Well not me. I already look goooood ;) I was bored having to wait so they allowed me to catch some ZZZ in one of the facial's room. Before we left the makeup person touched up my face with some powder and gelled me hair for free. They did a great job with my Boo Boo's hair and makeup. We shot at Central park and the meat packing district in 90 degree weather and our hair was still good and her makeup lasted many hours after the photos were done. I understand that planning a wedding is expensive and a lot people is going in to try to under cut the price of many vendors. I don't think its worth pissing off or go cheap on a vendor such as the makeup and hair person since photos and how you look will be what people will remember. This session was around $200 and we tipped $20 cash to each stylist. I expect them so a banging job on the wedding day as well. I am also having them to do up the bridal party as well. So, my beautiful Boo Boo will be surrounded with her friends who also feel beautiful.

    Hera did my hair and makeup for my wedding in September 2018 and I was very happy with her work. They are clearly veterans in this industry especially for Asian hair/makeup. Their prices are pretty steep but there are few brides that want to take a bet when it comes to their wedding. I didn't do a trial and booked VickyC5 after hearing numerous testimonials from many of my acquaintances. I showed Hera a few pictures but for the most part I entrusted her expertise - I think she did a great job executing the natural look I wanted. I think the most important thing for the bride is her hair/makeup person's confidence, professionalism and positive attitude - they have all of these qualities and made me feel very calm (when I could've been very stressed). One thing - they aren't as responsive to emails as they could be. Contacting them may require a phone call.

    I had the pleasure of working with Yoomi and Arum's team of 4 artists for my wedding on 07/28/2018. My initial conversation with VickyC5 was a bit rocky but after talking to Vicky herself, we decided to work with her team of artists. Yes, Vicky can seem a bit strong but she definitely has the experience and the knowledge to make your big day a dream. Unfortunately, I don't think you can choose your artists but I am so happy to have worked with my team! If you want the no-makeup/natural beauty makeup, Arum is the artist you are looking for. She is super adorable and fun! She will definitely make you laugh while she does your makeup. Yoomi (one of the managers at VickyC5) was in charge of my bridal hair. I showed her 3-5 different hairstyles that I wanted to try. Despite taking 3 trials to get my dream hair look (because I was indecisive), she incorporated her styles to create the bridal look that would look good with my facial features and makeup. Yoomi will make you feel right at home and guide you through what would look best based on your personality and features. The trials were great but they really brought their A-game on the wedding day. VickyC5 team arrived at 5:45 AM to get everything set up and ready to go by the scheduled time. The team was able to get 6 ladies (bride and 5 bridesmaids) by 9 AM and 2 mothers by 10 AM for photos. We were a bit pressed for time but they did not drop quality to rush everyone's makeup and hair. I'm really happy how gorgeous and flawless everyone ended up looking that day! I cannot express how thankful I am for the beautiful work! Thank you Yoomi and Arum for your fantastic work!

    I honestly did not put hair and makeup as my "priority" for my wedding planning since I don't wear much makeup (literally only wear eyeliner and that's it!). So I was set with another artist and did the trial and it was such a horrific failure that I realized how important hair and makeup is! Finding an artist that understands my face (asian/korean), and knowing what will look good and to enhance what I have is probably most important thing for your big day. Haha.. So I emailed and they have given me a quote that is pretty reasonable and after I did the trial I was blown away! My artist was Tory, and she did such an incredible job. Very light, still looks extremely natural but made me feel like a bride. I had 6 bridesmaid and a mom + me for the hair and makeup service, and we had to get ready pretty early. They came very on time! A little early even around 6:20 am! I thought it was 3 artist but 4 (Including tory) artists came. They were EXTREMELY FAST AND FRIENDLY. All my girls were done and ready to go way before the scheduled time. The makeup & hair also stayed on the whole day from 11am to 10pm eventhough I cried so much and sweated alot from dancing. They are worth every penny! They also have a bridal boutique in bayside for dress rentals! Thank you thank you!

    I wanted to look for Korean or Asian make up artists for my wedding since I like the Korean make up style, and I have inner double eyelids that are difficult to put eye make up on. I wanted someone who would be familiar with dealing with Asian faces. From consultation with Vicky all the way to makeup/hair on my wedding day, everything went super smoothly. A team of three ladies came to do hair and make up for me, my two bridesmaids, and two moms. They were all super nice, easy going, and professional. Everyone was really happy with the results. My make up and hair stayed all day and night into the wee hours of partying and sweating and dancing. I opted out of a make up/hair trial because my budget didn't allow me to splurge, but I was really happy on the day of and I didn't have to worry at all. The artists have a good understanding of the most complimenting style for each person. The price isn't cheap, but definitely worth it for the quality!

    Vicky and her team are magical! They gave us a very natural, pretty look with our hair and make up, and we looked so good!!!! My mom and mother in law could not stop raving about their make up. They also have hair accessories at their studio - love!!!!!!

    Extensions! Voila~

    Even though it's been almost a year since my wedding, I continue to visit Vicky c5 on a monthly basis for my eyelashes, massages and makeup/hair for events. I had such a good experience that I have referred them to my friends getting married, who have also been very happy with their work. Since I already wrote a general review, today I'll write about my lashes. I've been getting lash extensions done for over 10 years from places that charge $30 to $300+ per sessions. Amy at Vicky c5 does an amazing job for a reasonable price. The lashes look dramatic without looking fake. Even better, I am done in less than an hour and the lashes look great for over a month. I usually go 2.5 months between eyelash visits (I like to take breaks between applications and wait for them to fall out instead of doing touch ups.) I love not having to wear a lot of makeup, especially when I'm on vacation or when the weather is super hot. Check out my pic!

    It was a fantastic experience working with Hara and her team on my big day. There are couple things I want to highlight: 1) the look: It came out really nice of me and my bridesmaids. 2) timing: I am impressed how on-time and professional they are (especially when compared to some of the other makeups I participated as bridesmaid) Thank you! You made me look really good!

    VickyC5 did a great job on the hair and makeup for my May 2012 wedding. At first I was skeptical about how many people and how long it would take to get the bride + 6 bridesmaids + 2 moms ready with hair and makeup in just a few hours, but Vicky and her team stuck to schedule without compromising on the final product (attaching some pictures here for you to judge for yourself). They've clearly been doing what they do for a long time and came prepared, even showing up a bit early. Once I booked them for my wedding, Vicky suggested a series of facials starting several weeks before the wedding. I personally take things that aestheticians say with a grain of salt. However, at my mom's urging, I followed the skin-care regimen suggested by Vicky, and ultimately I was not disappointed. They also had a good collection of accessories (hair pieces, birdcage veils, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, to name some) which I was surprised to find were more affordable than the ones for sale in the wholesale shops in the nearby Fashion District. They are definitely pricey, but if you think hair+makeup are worth splurging on for your wedding, I highly recommend them!

    I just can't say enough great things about Vicky and her team, so I'll let the pictures do the talking. Just a little of background: on the day of our engagement photo shoot, the entire week of our wedding and on our wedding day, it poured and Joaquin also showed up; nevertheless, Vicky and her team made sure, my fiancé, sisters and I looked our best at all time. If you are looking for commitment and quality work, you are in the right place. P.S we had the silk extensions.

    Is it only for wedding or daily makeup to?

    They do weddings and daily makeup. They can be pricey though but well worth it!

She assessed my lash type and eye shape and told me that it's just a matter of where she placed the rod. My lashes turned out super lifted and lovely. She had a timer for each solution and it was all very matter of fact and systematic - perfect. For first time clients they discount the lash lift from 90 to 80 and give a castor oil lash solution. They said keep lashes dry for 4 hours (one day is for old solutions I guess) and no mascara for one day. You can pay with the card you used to book the appointment. They prefer tip in cash but will also accommodate putting on card. Overall this place was great and if I lived here I would be a regular.

Got 12 mm mascara mink Studio was clean and gave me makeup remover before the service (I made a spontaneous decision to get my lashes done for the first time). I used the first time cash discount and got mink lashes to look more natural and they lasted me a whole month looking pretty full before needing a refill, despite me going through bereavement and crying constantly! I live in California so I can't get them refilled but highly recommend this place to anyone - while they've started to fall out, I can see my natural lashes and they don't look very damaged like I had feared. I took pretty good care of them and didn't rub my eyes including only splashing water on them to wash them. Also the session was only 1 hour which I heard was pretty fast compared to some other places.

When you walk in and sign in, you'll tell the front desk what style you want (i.e. natural, mascara, glam, anime) and the lengths of the lashes. They will write down everything on a note, which they give to the lash artist. There's not really a consultation with the lash artist herself, since she just takes the note and starts right away. If you can, try to find an opportunity to show your artist any reference pictures to make sure you are getting the right style and lash mapping. While my extensions looked fine, they looked nothing like the reference picture I had, so I regret not confirming the style with the lash artist beforehand. The price is certainly cheaper than other places, especially if you pay in cash and with a first time discount. The whole procedure also took an hour, and they were very gentle. Overall, I wish there was more guidance for people new to lash extensions. Otherwise, great place for those who are experienced with lashes!

I had gotten extensions in the past which looked great, but extensions are uncomfortable, I can't sleep on my face without stressing, and they're a lot of maintenance. A lash lift isn't as life changing as extensions, but it certainly makes a difference if you have some decent natural lashes to start (the real flex would be using latisse for a couple months, and then getting a lash lift). I saw Annie and made an appointment a couple days in advance online. It's around $150 for a lift and tint which honestly feels like a lot. However, it takes the technician more than an hour to complete, and I could tell Annie was doing very thorough and careful job. The end result was great. I chose the L curve which is the most lift. All my lashes are evenly lifted and uniform. When I actually have mascara on I'm sure the results will be much more dramatic. It will last for 5-7 weeks - I definitely plan on adding this into my routine every couple of months.
