She began her career in fashion; studying fashion at FIDM. Working in fashion led her to her current passion for makeup and it’s ability to truly transform an individual.

She has earned a reputation in the entertainment industry and in the makeup and beauty community for her expertise, talent, and passion for her work.

Kelly also showcases her talent in her ability to create a soft, youthful radiance with a distinct focus on emphasizing her clients’ natural beauty.

Kelly Zhang Makeup & Hair Team

Kelly Zhang Studio began as a humble dream and has since transformed into an industry leader for bridal hair and makeup. Kelly began the business in 2007, out of her own home, with just herself and one other artist. Her studio has since blossomed into impressive team of 10-15 devoted artists with a sister company, Studio K Hair Designory, devoted to blowouts, cuts, and color.

Our team of passionate artists are dedicated to creating a unique and unforgettable look for each client. With their own personal makeup styles and tastes, we try to match each artists’ skills to our clients’ wants and needs. Kelly and her team are renowned for their hard work and talent in ensuring that each client leaves the studio feeling absolutely gorgeous and, most importantly, like themselves. This is why many of our clients continue to entrust life’s special occasions to our team of artists.

Each of our artists uses the highest quality of professional products and tools, with a clear understanding of the best application for each skin type and skin tone. With backgrounds in film, television, and photography, each of our artists has undergone vigorous training in makeup principles, application, and technique; as well as hair styling artistry. Most importantly, every member of our team is committed to furthering their skills and keeping informed of the latest beauty trends through regular workshops with beauty industry experts.

Kelly Zhang Makeup Line

My makeup line was inspired directly by the thousands of brides and women who I have served over the years. My clients told me repeatedly that they wanted to look beautiful, natural, and flawless on their big day. I wanted to enable them to feel that way every day. It pained me to hear their stories about overspending on products that were ineffective and sometimes even damaging to their skin.

After months of research and testing (never on animals, but sometimes on myself!), Kelly Zhang Cosmetics was born. Each and every product is packed with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants that care for your skin as it delivers superior, long lasting color and pigmentation.

My cosmetics line is designed to help you feel naturally beautiful not only on your wedding day, but every day thereafter. It is both affordable and accessible, without sacrificing quality. I look forward to hearing your thoughts about Kelly Zhang Cosmetics. I know that once you try the phenomenal products in this line, you will be as excited about its launch as I am.

Veronica is the best!

Veronica is the best! I wanted minimal makeup for my wedding day and she absolutely delivered while giving me advice about how professional makeup could look different in professional photography / under various lightings.

During my trial, she spent almost 3 hours on my hair and make up to make sure everything was the way I wanted, not including an additional 45 mins we spent discussing and taking photos. She asked detailed questions about my venue, dress, photographer, etc. so that she could make sure my hair and makeup fit with everything. I wore falsies for the first time and she was super accommodating to find the shortest, most natural looking falsies per my request.

On my wedding day, I loved my hair and make up, as well as the moms’ and wedding party’s. So many people told me that I looked beautiful or that they loved my make up, and that the make up was still holding up really well at the end of the night.

Thank you Veronica for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

Veronica brought my vision to reality

Veronica was my makeup and hair (M+H) artist for my engagement photoshoot and elopement day. At the trial meeting, I showed her a few ideas on how I wanted to look on my big day. She asked to see a photo of my wedding dress to ensure that it all coordinated well and gave her honest, professional opinions. Both times that we met, I left feeling and looking like a gorgeous bride.

Veronica brought my vision to reality. I can't explain how much I loved the outcome of my M+H on both days. It was an absolute dream. Veronica made the whole experience memorable. She was so easy to talk to and amazingly talented! I really admire her attention to detail and the extra mile she went to make sure I loved the way I looked before finishing.

Although we already eloped this year, my husband and I plan to celebrate our marriage with our family and friends next year! I have already booked Veronica for our next big day in 2021 and can't wait to have my M+H done by her again!!!! :D

Fantastic experience

My bridesmaids and I loved working with Kelly Zhang Studio. Emily did my hair and makeup as well as my Matron of Honor and Vianne worked on the rest of the bridesmaids. Emily was great to work with from the trial to the day of. I loved my hair and makeup and it held up really well throughout the day. As I and my bridesmaids don't usually wear make-up, we all wanted a natural look and we were all very happy with our results. Emily and Vianne took their time with each of us and we never felt rushed. They even had time after to do touch ups on anyone who needed it. I would very much recommend Kelly Zhang Studio to anyone who is looking for hair and makeup for their wedding.
