Now centrally located. We are in downtown San Francisco, walking distance to restaurants, hotels, Union Square, shopping, and more.

An important part of any professional training will focus on cleanliness, so when choosing your beauty vendor, make sure that your artist uses these best practices too. Below are some of the techniques we use to maintain the highest level of cleanliness with our clients.
We make you look your best while maintaining the highest standard for cleanliness. We only use professional makeup and hair products, purchased at professional outlets that require business licenses and permits. We use products from Shu Uemura, Chanel, Dior, Make-up Designory, Ben Nye, M-A-C, to list a few.
We take cleanliness very seriously, and follow strict guidelines when it comes to maintaining clean equipment and a clean environment.
Triple Twist applies the best makeup industry techniques and practices for cleanliness.
At Triple Twist we clean and dry all of our brushes with safe professional brush cleaner after every client. After a thorough cleaning, we allow the brushes to dry horizontally for 24 hours.
We have multiple sets of our brushes, so there is always a disinfected, dry brush for every client.
All lipstick is taken from the original packaging and applied to a clean Ben Nye palette. Lipstick and gloss are placed on the palette, then applied with a cleaned brush.
This palette is cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol before and after each use. This method prevents transfer of product between clients.
We use palettes to eliminate transfer of product between clients.
The sponges, pads and puffs that we use in our sessions are used once per client. You are welcome to take the puffs home after your trial, otherwise they are disposed of. They are also great for quick touch-ups throughout the day on your wedding, as they contain your custom foundation color.
Curling irons, flat irons, combs, and all other equipment are disinfected after each use, and our studio is cleaned daily by a maintenance crew. The studio hair is cleaned eight times per hour with a professional HEPA air purifier. I hope this helps answer some questions that you should have about cleanliness with your makeup and hair artist! Triple Twist’s ‘clean techniques’ are industry standard in Hollywood. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at 888-865-6960 or email at mei@tripletwist.com. Thanks!
L-R: Mei, Bride. Red carpet treatment on a secluded beach near Princeville, Kauai.
I traveled to Kauai, Hawaii in March 2009 for a wedding on a secluded beach. I was booked for the entire day for touch-up services, which ended up being a great move. Beaches tend to have a breeze, and right after the ceremony there was short, light rain that passed (it was so romantic!). I was able to adjust the bride’s hair and do quick touch-ups between the rain drops.
Because I am experienced with both hair and makeup, only one person is needed on your wedding day for these personal services.
I’m proud to say that my services are not limited to just makeup and hair design. When you choose my day packages and touch-up services, you are getting a personal beauty designer for the entire day. I am aware of the surroundings and the photographer, and I make quick in-and-out adjustments to your hair and makeup so you stay looking your best.
Touch-up services are a luxury you will not regret. Contact me here to schedule services for your destination wedding or beach wedding.
