About Us
Triple Twist is a San Francisco hair and makeup studio led by Mei Zhou, a former Cirque du Soleil trapeze artist whose years on stage shaped her approach to beauty, timing, and preparation.
After retiring from performance, Mei studied at the Makeup Designory in Los Angeles and founded Triple Twist in San Francisco. Since then, she has worked with thousands of brides and built a team known for polished artistry, careful preparation, and calm, organized wedding mornings.
Our Union Square studio serves as home base for bridal previews, city hall appointments, makeup lessons, and in-studio services. We also provide on-location hair and makeup throughout San Francisco, Napa, Marin, Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area.
Robert manages daily operations, scheduling, timelines, and client communication. Together, Mei and Robert run Triple Twist with a focus on preparation, precision, and reliable timing.

Awards
BRIDES Magazine voted Triple Twist Best Bridal Studio in San Francisco.
Triple Twist is Certified by Here Comes the Guide, California's most popular wedding planning resource, and was exclusively featured in their print edition book for five years. Unlike many review sites, HCTG has a rigorous certification process that requires each vendor to submit 30–40 references, including wedding industry professionals and at least 15 recent brides. They then contact each bride and get their honest feedback. Only if the company gets a rave review will they accept a wedding vendor as a client.
What real brides are saying
“I loved that Mei had strong capabilities in both hair and makeup and that I didn’t have to sacrifice on either to receive both services from the same professional.”
“My makeup lasted through the tears, kissing, and dancing. My hair stayed curled the entire night—something it usually doesn’t do!”
“My makeup was exquisite, unlike anything I have ever done or had done for myself. Flawless, glowing, and natural.”
“I really appreciated having the photographs taken after the trial and being able to see how the makeup would look in the pictures.”
