  • SF City Hall Wedding Makeup and Hair

    Karin and Leland traveled all the way from Hong Kong to have their engagement wedding photos in San Francisco for their wedding celebration next year. We were so excited to work with them, as they had such a special day lined up.

    We got ready at our bridal studio in Union Square early in the morning, and they were off for their session at City Hall and up in the beautiful Marin area.

    Esther contacted us early on in 2010 for her late summer wedding in San Francisco. She wanted natural beauty makeup, a side swept bang, long loose curls done half up / half down. We had a blast at the trial, Mei worked with her to get the perfect look.

    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!

  • Palace Hotel Wedding Makeup and Hair

    “Dearest Mei, Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job with my hair and makeup. You made me look naturally beautiful and that made me the most happiest bride in the world! I hope you noticed that in my wedding pictures :) You are such a talented artist and I am very grateful and honored to have had you there as I prepared for my big day. We also wanted to thank Robert and Jack for being there as well!

    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.
