I wish the team at Vickyc5 could do my hair and makeup everyday! They really know how to style hair and do makeup for the most flattering look. They were very quick but thorough, getting all 7 ladies of the wedding party dolled up on time and with touch-ups after the photoshoot, after the ceremony, after the cocktail hour, etc. They brought with them a vast array of products, colors, and tools. The team was fun and personable as we were preparing. Very professional all around. Can't wait to use them for another event! read more

VickyC5 - Makeup Artists Near Me - New York, New York

OK, let's be honest. I don't really come here for myself. But seeing as my wife doesn't have an account with yelp, I will post this review for her. I will say that she has come here repeatedly for various occasions. The latest being a co-workers wedding, tonight. She loves it here and would come back for future occasions. She was referred here by my sister in law, and she is grateful she did. I've been here a couple times as well to drive her here. Everyone is so nice, accommodating, and great at what they do. I think my wife even wants to take make up classes with the company. It's such a great place that we've even recommended VickyC5 to other family members and friends to come by for future occasions (a couple of my cousins did come by for make up and wedding dresses!) read more

I will be recommending VickyC5 to anyone who might need hair/makeup services for the rest of my life. Every member of their team is extremely skilled, patient, friendly, and helpful, and they all helped me in different ways. They are extremely generous with their time and energy, and I felt I truly got the best value for what I paid for. The team at VickyC5 was very receptive to hearing exactly I wanted for my wedding day, and they were ready to work at 5am on the day of our wedding to help style all 7 of my bridesmaids, my mother, and me. Thank you, VickyC5, for all of your help!!! read more

It was hard to find a makeup artist (specifically working with Asian skin) who was able to start at 7:30am or who was even available a few months away from a September wedding! I worked with Mike who helped me book my session at the store and he was so pleasant, polite and professional! The day before my session, I called the store and Mike picked up and immediately knew who I was. He then sent a text later on in the evening and confirmed the appointment once more. It may seem a little overkill with confirming twice, but having had a bad experience in another country when my MUAH never showed up for our appointment even WITH a confirmation, I didn't mind the extra step Mike had taken. I arrived 10 minutes before my appointment and the team was already there. Hera and Leah were both so amazing! I was blown away by my makeup and my hair style. They truly executed the style I wanted exceptionally and it lasted all day. I received so many compliments at my wedding! They may be a little on the pricier end (~$400 after tax and tip for bridal makeup.. it is cheaper for bridesmaids and everyone else), but after seeing the results, I would highly recommend them! So worth every penny! read more

VickyC5 and the staff were so professional and so great on the day of my wedding! I received compliments all day on my hair and makeup! They made me feel like a princess! They knew exactly what I wanted and definitely delivered on my vision. They were punctual and organized and got everyone's hair and makeup done just in time for photos! The my makeup and hair lasted all through the night- even after dancing! Also- they were experts at applying makeup on Asians. I've had other makeup artists try and fail- but VickyC5 made the makeup look so natural and beautiful. I'd definitely recommend VickyC5 to any bride! read more

I was a bridesmaid and needed someone to do my make up and hair for a Saturday morning wedding (5/16/15). I had to get to the wedding venue which was in Long Island by 9:30AM so it was quite difficult to find a make up artist for 7AM. After some research, I found VickyC5 through Yelp and through recommendations and I'm so thankful I did! Most places were charging me an extra $200 just for opening early for me & another girlfriend of mine but VickyC5 opened early for us for NO EXTRA CHARGE! They were very professional and accommodating through the whole thing. I emailed them with lots of questions and they answered promptly and everything was done through email/telephone which was great especially if you're working. I was able to make a deposit over the phone and just had to pay the remaining balance on the day of. My friend and I got there at 6:50ish for a 7AM appointment. We told the artists exactly what we wanted with our hair & make up (simple & natural) and that's exactly what we got! And to make it even better, they finished both of us around 8:15AM! Gave us plenty of time to get dressed and head to the venue. The artists we had were professional and worked their magic. We came out feeling beautiful! We also received lots of compliments throughout the day. I will definitely be using them again for my next big event! Wish I can use them every day! read more

I came here to get my eyeliner semi permanent tattoo done. Making an appointment was quick and easy. The process was surprisingly very quick. I went with one friend and we were both done in one hour total. The set price includes one retouch session which you book for about a month after your first session. In my honest opinion i didn't feel any pain or discomfort. I think it really depends on the person because my friend felt pain during the procedure. I was a little disappointed because after my first session you cant really tell i got the eyeliner tattoo because the line is super thin. The technician said it will be more visible after the second session so we will see. Overall, the place was super clean. It is located inside a wedding studio. read more

Review 5/1/18 - I highly, highly recommend VickyC5 for wedding makeup and hair services. They did an AMAZING job on my wedding day. My makeup and hair were on point, and my bridesmaids looked gorgeous. Everybody said that I looked like a different person and admired my hair and makeup. I was so happy to find a Korean makeup artist who was able to do Asian makeup. I had bridesmaids who are Korean, Philippino, and Chinese, and VickyC5 was able to do my bridesmaids' makeup extremely well. Everyone looked very pretty and like the best version of themselves. I had done makeup trials with 2 other vendors before I found VickyC5, and I was so disappointed with the results. By the time I tried VickyC5, I was worried I wouldn't find a good makeup artist for myself. Fortunately, my 3rd and last makeup trial was with VickyC5. I was extremely pleased with their skills and ability to make me look younger and like a beautiful bride. read more

Vicky completed my eyebrow tattoo and it turned out really well. She listens to your preferences and she's a real professional. She makes sure that your safety and health are a priority and shows the needle/microblade she is using is brand new. The brows turned out really neat and natural! Highly recommend her for permanent makeup. Coming back for a retouch soon!! read more

Had Vicky C5 do my bridesmaids and they were great! They were on time and the make up was natural! Would definitely recommend them for weddings. Thanks Vicky C5! read more

I CANNOT say enough terrible things about this place. RUN RUN RUN AWAY! SAVE YOURSELF FROM THE HEADACHE AND AGGRAVATION!! They will tell you everything you want to hear but execute a very poor job. Their skills and experience are limited to maybe people with good "typical" Asian skin. They cannot recommend provide advice on your skin type, hair type or what may work best with a venue (outdoor vs. indoor) that has a lasting power to look good the entire day or execute something off a picture. They are COOKIE CUTTERS and VANILLA that will provide you results that are blah or you would be better off getting a friend to do it if you choose them. They will also not make the mistake of providing you any guarantees or your satisfaction on their work. Their consultation is WEAK but they will be quick to offer that you come back so they can try something else that you will like more for MORE money for their subpar services. Their eyelashes also fell off - what a rip-off. They will also take advantage of you emotionally as a bride. Wish I looked at these reviews first because unless you know them or speak their language, you are out of luck in communicating with them because they will "misunderstand" what you are saying to their advantage. RUN or FIND YOURSELF IN A BAD and not funny version of an SNL skit but the JOKE IS ON YOU! read more

I am not the type to write reviews but I have to say VickyC5's team is amazing! I first went in to their bridal boutique to look for wedding gowns and they were so helpful and sensitive to my needs and wants. I tried on many dresses and they were so patient to help me find the perfect dress! I loved their service so much that I ended up doing a makeup trial with a lady named Alice that turned out exactly how I wanted to look and more! They have a group of facialists as well that I've started sessions with and so far I'm satisfied with the results. This team really knows beauty inside and out and I am so glad to have found them! read more

VickyC5 did my makeup for prom and they did an amazing job! They did my hair and makeup promptly and were extremely kind and professional. My particular makeup artist was very attentive and was not afraid to correct or change things if I asked. So much love for VickyC5! read more

I was literally donned head-to-toe in VickyC5! I bought my wedding gown, veil, earrings and hair accessory from VickyC5 AND they did my hair and makeup! The result? I was one happy bride, confident in her coming debut. All of Vicky and Hera's suggestions were great and they knew what would best flatter me. It's funny because the very first wedding gown I ever tried on was with Vicky, and it was the one I ended up getting, even though I did go to other places to try on other gowns. Originally, I went to her Bayside salon to book a hair/makeup appointment, not knowing that she also sold dresses. However, after booking the hair/makeup, she suggested I try on this dress and it ended up being the one I selected! For my hair and makeup, Hera did a fabulous job and I love the up-do she gave me. She made my hair tendrils fall in a very natural manner, which stayed put the whole duration of the wedding festivities! Both Vicky and Hera possess a great eye and I am extremely satisfied with their services. They are very experienced in the wedding industry, and it goes to show that experience here does matter. Thank you VickyC5 for being so amazing! read more

Vicki and her team deserves all the praise for making me feel and look amazing on my wedding day. From the day of the trial to the actual day, she was always easily reached through her team and she allayed any anxiety that comes with such a big day. She exceeded my expectations and despite it being a windy day, my makeup and hair stayed put for the outdoor photos. I wanted them for the touch up package (where they come to your venue and stay for a certain number of hours) and while it is an additional charge, I highly recommend it!!! Vicki and Hera changed my hair for the ceremony and for the reception and touched up my makeup for more drama and partying during the reception and I am so glad she did. Not only that, I wore traditional outfits and getting in and out of my wedding dress (lace corset back) was not easy but the experience and professionals that they are, they did it very quickly and they helped me significantly even though they were not there for that purpose. All in all, incredibly professional and worth every penny. I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I ever have another event. You don't want to skimp on your wedding day but the prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. Additionally the studio in bayside is very pretty for getting ready photos if you don't want to be at your house with all the chaos. I only got ready with my mom and maid of honor and it was perfect for us. Getting ready there and with Vicki's calm and fun demeanor really created a nice ambiance to start a beautiful day. Thank you Vicki and Hera!! read more
