Mei, Robert and Jack

Mei is a former Cirque du Soleil trapeze star who performed her unique act across hundreds of cities worldwide, entertaining millions. She wowed audiences with her 'triple twist' trapeze act, featured in Cirque du Soleil's Emmy-winning show, Dralion. During her career, she performed for dignitaries like the King of Monaco, US President George H. W. Bush, and Chinese President Jiang Zemin. She was also a gold medalist in Paris, Monte Carlo, Luxembourg, and China before joining Cirque du Soleil in 1999.

Mei’s love for makeup and hair began during her trapeze career. With 5,000 shows under her belt, she became adept at creating her stage look, spending about an hour on makeup each day. This passion led her to a new career path after she retired from Cirque du Soleil—one where she could keep her artistic spirit alive with her feet firmly on the ground.

Mei met her husband, Robert, while on tour with Cirque, and after they married, she graduated from the Makeup Designory in Los Angeles. She then launched Triple Twist, a bridal hair and makeup studio in San Francisco. Since then, Mei has worked with thousands of brides nationwide and has grown a team of talented artists. Helping brides feel their best on their wedding day brings Mei immense joy.

Robert has a background in project management, IT, and music, and runs the daily operations at Triple Twist.
