Yin has a vibrant and engaging personality and is one of the best make-up artists I have gotten to know. I needed simple, natural, professional hair and make-up for a headshot, and she was quick to respond to my query, kept me updated through the process, and was very easy to contact for last minute instructions, questions, and requests. She helped me find a professional photographer as well so that we all converged in his studio in an easy to find area of Boston with available/reserved parking. Boston is not a very generous city for parking spots. During the make-up session, she listened carefully to what I needed, explained what she was going to do each step of the way, and made sure I was 100% satisfied with my hair and make-up at every point. Then during the photo shoot, she made sure hair was in place and make-up was refreshed as needed. She was my personal stylist for the entire afternoon! Yin has my highest recommendation for personalized attention and professional artistry. And of course, the pictures turned out excellent! read more

A week ago, I reached Yin for my grad school yearbook makeup. We set a time and met up at her studio this Tuesday. Yin was very warm and welcomed me at her door. She smiles a lot and can always make people happy. Before the makeup, Yin asked me about what I wanted from this photo. We talked while she did my makeup. She really listened to my need and did exactly what I wanted step by step. Whenever I wanted her to change something or add something, she would be very happy to do it - to her, customer's demand comes first. She has worked with many people who had different demands and she is very familiar with the lighting and camera. She knows what a perfect makeup would be like under the camera light. In addition to the fact that she is a great makeup artist and hair stylist, Yin also has a personality that draws people to her. She is very sweet and likes to encourage people. Letting her do my makeup and hair and simply chatting with her made my day. read more

I found Yin from The Knot for my engagement photo shoot and my wedding day. Yin is tremendously experienced and has the most pleasant. She took the time to reach out and speak to me on the phone before the appointment. She gave great recommendations on the day. Our wedding photos turned out stunning. I had a big bridal party. Yin and her assistants arrived early morning (5 am). Yin was always on time for everything and great at communicating with us through the whole wedding process. We had a great time together. They not only did a fantastic job on everyone's hair and makeup but were super flexible about everything. My bridesmaids, mom, aunts, grandma, and mother-in-law were all very pleased with how their hair and makeup turned out. I highly recommend Yin and her team. You will not be disappointed! read more

Yin Tom is one of my favorite makeup and hair stylists I have encountered! She is fast, reliable and she has the latest tricks and makeup products & techniques. She even has makeup that you cannot find anywhere else (from Asia). The look is flawless and she can do both very simple and elegant and well as very sexy and edgy. I went to her for a makeup look for an event as well as for a photoshoot and even though the looks were completely different. She aced them both and didn't disappoint. I highly recommend her, as it is so rare to find someone who can do both hair and makeup and her prices are more reasonable than others. From the very moment I sat in the makeup chair and saw the special lights, the makeup and her inquisitive and adventurous nature, I knew I was dealing with a pro! read more

If you ask me who I recommend for hair and make up. I would answer you Yin Tom is the one. Not only she listens to her clients, understands what her clients want, she also pays attention to all the details. I had a trial makeup with Yin Tom couple weeks before my wedding and I m so pleased and surprise what this girl could do. I love the air brush make up, it feels so light and natural. Also, love what she did with my fine straight hair. Highly recommended for all the brides. Yin Tom also did my bridesmaids hair and makeup and without question they love their looks. Every guest compliment how beautiful I look on my wedding and I believe thats what every bride wants. If you want to have a professional hair and makeup on any occasion, Yin Tom is THE ONE. read more

Yin is very up front and helpful! I appreciate the detailed list of services and her communication of her policies. Additionally, she worked under a time constraint for my trial since I had to get to my engagement shoot! She's fast, when she needs to be but does not sacrifice details and quality. She listened to my ideas for style but still gave her input - in the end we would decide things together which was nice! She also takes into account photographer, facial shape, and just you over all look. I can appreciate her attention to detail while still keeping in mind the big picture. I'm planning to use her for the big day and to have her help with my bridesmaids' hair. Looking forward to it! See engagement pictures for example of her make-up! read more

I got married last month and had Yin Tom for hair and makeup. On the wedding day, Yin arrived on schedule. She is equally talented in hair and makeup and super easy going. My bridal party also had their hair and makeup done by Yin. They all really loved their hair and makeup too. Everyone in my bridal party looked stunning; we could not have been happier with the final results. Also, we have received SO many compliments about the hair/makeup. My sister was really impressed with the bridal party's hair/makeup and hired Yin on her big day! I am so excited Yin will do my hair and makeup again on my sister's wedding day. Yay! Reasonable prices, very responsive and professional. I highly recommend Yin Tom Studio. read more

Yin did my engagement photo hair and makeup and was absolutely outstanding. She has extensive training in a wide variety of makeup styles and is comfortable with a ton of different looks. I was also very impressed with how she was able to adapt the look I wanted to my individual facial structure. Before our session, she asked for my photo as well as examples of the looks I wanted, and she understood exactly what I was going for. She even gave tips on how to make my hair and makeup look the best during photos, which was super helpful. At the end, she took photos to get a sense of how the makeup looked on camera and then made some adjustments based on that, which was awesome. Highly recommend!! read more

Yin Tom fit my teenage prom girl in at the last minute for hair and make up style session--we weren't sure what we were going to get because we hadn't had any reviews, but we were SOOOO happy! Yin was able to do all she wanted and more, while still giving her a look that wasn't too old or over the top. She was amazing with her hair, creating a luscious updo with braids exactly as she had dreamed. Her make up was incredible! She enhanced every feature but didn't make her look overdone, and taught her along the way the best way to do it herself. There is absolutely no doubt that we will be back to Yin Tom again when the girl needs to feel pretty, she left feeling like a star!! read more

Yin is amazing! One of my fave wedding vendors. Yin and her team did a great work on my wedding day. They did my hair and makeup and my 6 bridesmaids. They did an amazing job with everyone.

I can not speak highly enough of her skills and would recommend her. read more

Yin is very professional, I met with her and she did beautiful makeup and hair for my event. She did a bold smokey eye and flawless airbrush foundation.

I wanted a makeup job for some professional head shots I was getting for my social media accounts. I needed a professional makeup because I knew the camera would capture every little detail of my face, but I also wanted to look natural--not heavily made up. Yin accomplished that and while she was doing my makeup she was warm and funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And, wow, did I get compliments when I posted my new Facebook photo! read more

Yin and her team were everything that we could have asked. We were all 100% satisfied and delighted. Everyone looked like an enhanced and natural version of themselves. It was perfect.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with her again and would love to take one of her makeup lessons. read more
