“Angela is a wonderful make up artist! She did the make up for my wedding reception. I appreciate the time she took to understand what I wanted and made my vision come to life. I don't wear much make up on a daily basis so I appreciated her guidance and suggestions for making me look my best on my special day. As a woman of color my greatest fear was having foundation that did not match my skin tone. She was able to blend the perfect foundation match and relieved all my fears. Angela is very professional, punctual, and talented- everything you want for your big day.“
“Booking Brides Nest was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I first noticed that the owner, Stephanie, works a lot with our photographer, @antonioprophoto. Because our photographer was such a joy to work with, we had a feeling Stephanie would be amazing as well. Her Instagram account showed pictures of beautiful brides with soft glam makeup. As soon as I visited her website, I knew that she was not only a talented makeup artist but also an organized, transparent business owner. She made her pricing readily available (I didn't have to contact her separately about it), and I was able to instantly figure out if she was available on our wedding day. The booking process alone made it easy for me to decide to work with Brides Nest.
I was able to schedule my trial on the day of my engagement photo shoot. Stephanie listened to my thoughts on the soft glam look I would like for myself, asked me how my makeup looks on a daily basis, and took into consideration the type of makeup I do not prefer. She was down-to-earth and fun to chat with! It was clear that she enjoys what she does, which goes a long way when you book any vendor. Thanks to Stephanie, my makeup looked amazing in all the photos, and it lasted several hours without requiring a touch-up. This definitely helped because we did our shoot at Griffith Observatory around sunset and dusk, so I had no time to look at myself. My hair stayed put throughout the entire session as well. I appreciated that she recommended using extensions.
We still have a few months to go for our wedding, and working with Stephanie is making the process much less chaotic for us. She is quick to respond to all of our questions. She was more than happy to schedule another trial session for me because I'm still not sure if I want to put my hair up or down on the big day. She'll also be doing a trial for my husband.
We're looking forward to seeing how gorgeous everyone will look on our wedding day!“
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Grace. As a makeup novice, I was nervous about finding someone who could help me create a natural look that suited my skin color, skin type, facial features, and makeup style. Grace exceeded all expectations!
Her in-depth consultation and tailored makeup lesson were both informative and enjoyable. Grace broke down every step of the process clearly and patiently. She demonstrated techniques on one side of my face and then guided me as I tried the other side. I even got to record videos to reference later.
She also provided a detailed list of all the products she used and expertly recommended several high-end makeup brands like Giorgio Armani, Charlotte Tilbury, and Tarte. Her product recommendations have completely transformed my skincare and makeup routine.
Grace is not only a talented makeup artist but also a kind and supportive person. She went above and beyond to help me find the perfect products and tools. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking to enhance their daily look, or achieve flawless makeup for any special occasion.“
“I recently came here to get a hair cut and touch up on my balayage. Maria was so welcoming. As soon as you enter, you will notice the super warm and clean environment. I typically have super long thick hair, but it literally felt a pound lighter after my hair cut. Maria is also the coolest person you will meet and she is always asking you on what you think about it. She truly think about you and I definitely have my fair share of horror stories of salon. Some people will cut your hair 5 inches when you really only wanted 2 inches. Maria will show you and ensure you feel comfortable about it. She is amazing!!“
“Stacy is amazing! Found her on FB social media and took a leap of faith and decided to give her a try since she's local to me. Thank goodness I did. She was upfront with me and was so confident in achieving the color I was looking for. She even mentioned of her tips and tricks that I would have never known about. That tells me some other stylists can be lazy and not put in the work to achieve the best results. An even added bonus was finding out that she knew the same people I knew. No wonder the vibes were right! Thank you Stacy!“
“Adriana is AMAZING. She nails it all the time. She knows exactly what I expect. Her services are beyond. Very grateful for her. She always makes sure my daughter, mom and I are taken care of. Love her service. Salon vibe is always so positive, and very welcoming.“
“First time here. I had recently got back from Japan followed by a crazy work week. I needed someone to help me look alive for a wedding down in SD. I reached out just a couple days before the wedding. Angela responded back quickly and did a wonderful job with my hair and make-up.“
“I am surprised that yelp does not have more reviews for this place. I was very lucky to have a found Lizi's studio on Google. I was searching for Photo Studios that did traditional Chinese photography and costumes that were very popular in Temple city over 15 years ago. But those places have all since closed. I wanted to plan out a photo shoot with my mom and my sisters for Mother's Day. And Liz was so kind to accommodate us and we had a lot of fun. We spent the entire day shooting all sorts of backdrops in our Shanghai qipao dresses. I plan to go back next year on my own to do Hanfu style photos. Liz's photoshop skills are also top notch. If you let her know exactly what you want fixed, she will make you look like an empress! The VIP service is worth it!“
“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Balqees for my clothing brand’s photoshoot. It was an amazing experience, she is dedicated, talented, and such a delight to work with. Her work is impeccable and she made every one of my models feel special. I would highly recommend her service!“

“Gel by Jill did such a great job on my nails! We did gel x full set and I wasn’t sure what design I wanted to do but it came out so pretty. Thank you Jill!!!“
“I was planning to find a makeup artist for my future wedding, so I found Mindy for makeup and photo shooting for preview. And I should say that she truly has the eye of beauty, the makeup result was amazing, she was very patient and took care all the details for you, and gave you a makeup suit you and your circumstance the best. Most importantly, she made me to look at myself differently and started to feel I am beautiful. And I am happy to book her as my makeup artist for my wedding.“
“Shauna is the best beautician in Los Angeles. I've known her for over 10 years, and all my eyelash extensions, eyebrow microblading , eyeliner, and lip tattoos were done by her. She's very professional, skilled, has a high aesthetic sense, most importantly she is reliable and responsible. I'm very satisfied with her services and would highly recommend her.“

“Amazing experience!! Seamless booking process and staff is very nice. When you check in for your appointment, there's complimentary water and teas! I've had a shoulder-length haircut with Amanda twice now, and had such a positive experience. I showered her reference pictures from Pinterest both times, and she guided me throughout the whole hair cutting process with recommendations and an attention to detail like no other. I will be back :D Great vibe with high-quality products! Parking is metered outside and plenty available outside“
“I had my first cut with Yolande yesterday and I am so pleased. First, the vibe of the salon is light, clean, and beautiful. Street parking was easy. Yolande herself is absolutely lovely.

They took the time to listen to my needs and preferences, ensuring that I left the salon feeling confident and satisfied with the results.

“First time here and I really loved my experience. I Google searched for a high reviewed spot in the area since I'm not from the area and they had a high review. I was specific about what I wanted as far as what they used. I am staying away from the jet spa pedis because they are known to carry bacteria and fungus if not cleaned and sanitized correctly. This place uses a foot bowl with water from the tap and that's exactly what I wanted. They even waited for me and I was late! The ladies Were Minnie (Pedi)nand Diane (Mani). I fell so much better after my session. They were professional and pleasant throughout my service. Thank you ladies!“
“I had a fantastic experience with Paola during my first facial. Time flew by in her efficient and amiable care. Her explanations of the products and consistent check-ins on my comfort level made me feel at ease. The relaxing service room, coupled with the thoughtful inquiry about my music preference, added to the overall comfort. The facial, complete with extractions, left my skin feeling amazing.Paola's attention to detail and personalized approach made the entire experience enjoyable. I am very happy with the results and will definitely return. To summarize, services with Paola are a 10/10 experience, I highly recommend!“
“Veka did my hair and she did such an amazing job!! Everyone keeps complementing my hair! I am beyond pleased with her service. I will be going back to her.“
“Pamela is a hair genius. She is unbelievably talented, thoughtful, and her aesthetic is unmatched. I have been getting my hair cut by her for almost 10 years and I will never stop. She is an artiste with her scissors and a friend to confide in when you are in her chair. Our hair is a part of our spirit and I only trust pamela to cut/style my hair.“
“Had walked by Rockin' Rollers for some time. Finally booked appt. Glad I did. Stylist Ann took measure and suggested a great cut. It turned out terrific giving me a new modern and stylish look. Thanks Ann!“
