  • Tea Ceremony Wedding Hair and Makeup

    We worked with Pam late last year for her tea ceremony and wedding hair and makeup in San Francisco. As we set up our on-location kit at her home for her Chinese tea ceremony and started the services, we shared laughs and stories with her mother and family.

    Just before the tea ceremony…

    As Mei was finalizing Pam’s hair design, David Ham (seriously one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s best wedding photographers), arrived with his crew and equipment and got right to work. It’s because of clients like Pam and Bill that we love our job. Enjoy some of the joyous moments from their ceremony below, special thanks to David for the photography!

  • Dara’s Stern Grove wedding makeup

    Dara, her mother, and her sister scheduled makeup and hair trials for Dara’s wedding at Stern Grove in San Francisco.

    We had a blast shooting the trial photography at her makeup trial at our studio in San Francisco.

  • Dana and Jeremy

    We knew there was something special about Dana when we first met her for her trial. She was easy going and all smiles, and we had a great time going over her hair and makeup looks. Mei and Dana decided on an updo with an elaborate side bun — Dana brought the perfect hairpin for the bun.

    On the wedding day, we arrived at the Omni Hotel to setup our on-location gear. The atmosphere was relaxed and the entire bridal party was great to work with.

  • Asian Makeup Artist, Hair Stylist for Asian Brides

    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.
