Yelp on 5/23/11: “It took me a while to find a hair stylist and make up artist for my wedding. YELP helped to make a choice and I am happy that I chose Triple Twist. Mei and Robert were an absolute pleasure to work with. It was a very easy and stress-free process. Robert was great at scheduling the services and the trial. Mei did a great job with the hair and make-up. Many guests commented that my hair looked great on the wedding day; the make-up was done very well and it looked fresh the entire night. Both Robert and Mei are very kind, professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Triple Twist. The products and techniques that Mei uses are great for weddings as I did not have to worry about my hair or make-up the entire evening.

Mei and Robert, thank you for making my wedding day a special one. We wish you all the best and many more brides to come.

Yulia B.”

Thank you Yulia!

Stannia rocks, seriously. Fun, happy, positive, just a great experience all around. We’re also happy that the orchid from our studio will forever live in these photos!

Stannia’s very talented wedding photographer Erwin Wijanto recently sent over these photos from their City Hall ceremony. Enjoy!

We got ready at our bridal studio in Union Square early in the morning, and they were off with one of San Francisco’s finest photographer, Matthias Photography for their session at City Hall and up in the beautiful Marin area. Photos are copyrighted and courtesy of Matthias Giezendanner, thank you, enjoy!

It was a pleasure working with Esther and her bridesmaids in her bridal suite at the Intercontinental Hotel (fantastic views!). Enjoy these photos from one of San Francisco’s finest, Carmen Alvarez.

Like many brides these days, I considered doing my own hair and make-up to save money, especially after I found out the price point for wedding hair and make-up stylists. Then one day I stumbled across the website for Triple Twist. I was so impressed by the before and after pictures that I immediately made an appointment for a trial.

At the trial, Mei did an awesome job! I especially love the individual fake eyelashes! She is an expert at applying them and I couldn’t even feel them once they were on. They take before and after pictures and send them to you via email the same day. It is super awesome to see what the makeup will look like on camera. Also during the trial, I found out that Mei used to be a performer for Cirque de Soleil. How cool is that?

After the trial, I was so impressed that I immediately booked Triple Twist for my wedding. Just happens it was just in time because another bride was also interested in my date!

Fast-forward to the day of my wedding. Robert showed up right on time, if not a bit early to set up and Mei followed in right after. They were extremely professional. I got compliments all day on how beautiful my hair and make-up looked. It’s definitely all because of Mei!

Incidentally, I had hired another hair-stylist to work on my bridesmaids(not associated with Triple Twist at all). This person decided to NOT show up on my wedding day. When Mei found out, she graciously offered to help. She whipped up hairstyles for three of my bridesmaids AND with time to spare! Mei totally saved us that day and I couldn’t be more grateful…

Just off a flight from Houston, Texas, Wendi contacted us for engagement hair and makeup for her engagement photo shoot in San Francisco.

“I was so impressed with how well my makeup stayed all day with the bad weather. I assumed it would melt right off, but when we went to dinner that night it looked just as good as it did when I walked out of your salon!” – Wendi T

Thank you Wendi, it was a blast!

I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know who we be getting married. Thanks again, Mei… You are a very sweet and beautiful person and I’m so happy that I met you. Take care and I wish you well, Love April”

April booked us for her makeup and hair nearly a year in advance for her July 4th weekend wedding at the Palace Hotel. This proved to be a wise decision on her part, as we had over 100 inquiries for her date from when she booked us. After attending her bridal trial in late 2009, she added eight more people for hair and makeup.

While the Bay to Breakers was taking place right outside our studio, we had a blast with Veena for her pre-wedding makeup and hair for her photo session at the Civic Center! Thank you Veena!
