Asian Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist for Asian Brides, Weddings in San Francisco

January 14, 2010

Asian Makeup Artist San Francisco, Asian Hair Stylist Bay Area California, Asian Brides, Weddings

We are often asked “I’m looking for a hair stylist and makeup artist who specializes in Asian brides, do you do makeup and hair for Asian brides?”

See real Asian brides we have recently worked with »

The short answer is yes, we have a lot of experience working with Asian women for their tea ceremonies and weddings. We have a large portfolio of before and after photos showcasing many different types of Asian skin tones, eye shadows for Asian women, lips, hair styles, and more. You can also view a before-and-after video showcasing an Asian bride at her trial.

Chinese-speaking brides have told me they love that fact that my studio manager and I both speak fluent Mandarin Chinese, which often times is helpful for mothers and relatives who speak Chinese as their primary language.

However, not everyone is having their wedding in San Francisco Bay Area, so I thought I’d put together an outline for people who are looking for specific answers.

First of all, it is a completely valid question, so do not feel awkward asking your makeup artist or hair stylist if they specialize in weddings for Asian brides, or if they work specific ethnicities or skin tones. There are special techniques for Asian eyes and eyelids, and Asian hair.

So how do you find an artist to fit your needs? Simple! Look for someone who can answer all your questions and back up their work with a large portfolio. Ask them specific questions about your needs, and ask if they have any experience with those issues.

I feel honored to have such great feedback for my work with the Asian bridal community in San Francisco, and if you have a question or concern about your hair and makeup for your wedding (regardless of who you choose for your hair and makeup for your wedding) feel free to contact us at 888-865-8660.

How do I find the right makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding?

December 5, 2008

There are obviously a number of factors that come in to play when you are choosing your makeup and hair artist. Experience, testimonials and reviews, price, to name a few.

In this industry, you really do get what you pay for. Your wedding date is a once in a lifetime event, so be wary of the lowest bidder. Are they professional? Are they reliable? Are they clean?

We recommend using a professionally trained artist. Keep in mind that not all schools are the same. 

Mei is a top graduate of the Make-up Designory, or MUD, in Los Angeles, where she studied beauty makeup and hair styling, fashion, avant-garde, and character makeup. A MUD graduate is highly skilled and is a great choice.

Professionalism

Artists should have an updated portfolio with a sample of looks, showing a variety of skin tones, hair styles, etc. It is a plus if they have a professionally designed web site with online photos of their work and an easy way to contact them. They should respond quickly to inquires and provide quotes in a timely manner. These are all signs that they are reliable, and that things will go smoothly on your wedding day.

Place of Business

Do they have a studio? Do they operate out of a salon? Do they go on location?

Attitude

They should be friendly, helpful, honest, and should go above and beyond to design the look you envision during your trial and on the day of your wedding. 

Bottom Line

You will be photographed with zoom lenses, recorded on HD video cameras, and the center of attention for the wedding guests all day long. Your makeup and hair has to look great the entire day. A trained, experienced artist will make you look beautiful and will help you through your day.
