I searched long and hard for a makeup artist that knew how to apply makeup to an asian face, especially the eyes. I came across JAC Beauty and wrote them a quick email. Jina called me and we started talking. My first impression over the phone was she seem to totally understand my concerns and I felt very comfortable with her.

Before my trial, Jina dolled me up for a few events I had and I absolutely loved what she did. She offered a few ideas and she hit the nail on the head. I got tons of compliments...

For my big day, Jina already knew what I was looking for and wasted no time in transforming me into a princess. Carol worked on my bridesmaids and she was fast and amazing. Everyone looked so good. My husband told me that the moment he saw me I took his breath away and he couldn't stop telling me how beautiful I looked.

I highly recommend Jina and Carol. Both of them are truly amazing and wonderful at what they do. I don't think you can find anyone better!!!! Thank you Jina and Carol for making my big day so memorable!!!

I only had Jina for makeup (I did my own hair). Jina is super-fabulous. She had a funny and relaxing personality--perfect for the morning of your wedding--and I like to think we bonded a little during my trial. I told her I wanted a 60s glam look, and that's what I got, while remaining very natural. My personal pet peeve is non-matching foundation that is obvious on brides, and mine was very natural and lasted all days. My three layers of fake lashes were amazing and totally cool. She was so affordable and uses top of the line products. It's hard to do Asian makeup and Jina really delivered.

My husband was thrilled the day of my trial and kept saying how beautiful I looked and equally thrilled on my wedding day. Thank you Jina for your wonderful makeup skills and great personality!

Jina and Carol of JAC were wonderful! They listened to my requests and did my hair and makeup even more beautifully than I had imagined. They are also geniuses in applying makeup that will stay put! In fact, I moved out of my apartment the day that I had my trial. I opted to keep my hair and makeup on while my fiance and I moved boxes up and down stairs, into the uhaul, and even to the 2 hr drive to my new place - and my makeup actually stayed put despite all the activity! And on my actual wedding day - we had an hour photo session running around in diff parts of central park, the actual ceremony outdoors, and part of our reception on a yacht with high winds - and when I came home late that night I still looked great! They are truly amazing at what they do! It's extremely difficult finding affordable professional wedding makeup in NYC, and although I thought their prices were a bit high, it's important to keep in mind that it is NYC, so they are actually in the mid-price range for the area and for the high quality of their work. They were also a pleasure to work with, really fun and easy to talk to. Jina even stayed to help me with an impromptu safety pin alteration of my dress and helped me wrap my bouquet :). I do want to note that their studio (where you have your makeup trial) is in Queens, so that may be an issue for those who live within manhattan. They come to you on the wedding day, but charge a fee for traveling into manhattan.

Definitely check out their website, it has great examples of their makeup style. Natural, but beautiful - how every bride should look on the big day.

I needed my hair and makeup done for some headshots, and at the recommendation of several other brides (I was married a few months ago), contacted Carol and Jina. They responded right away and were able to accommodate my schedule. On the day of, I told them what I was looking for (me, but better, ha!), and the executed flawlessly. It was about 95 degrees that day, and my hair and makeup still held up beautifully! They were both so fun to work with and their prices were reasonable as well. I would definitely recommend this team!

After 3 different makeup trials, good money spent and still lots of uncertainty, I was at a loss on how I was going to get ready for my wedding day. No look had made me feel like as special as I was hoping to feel on my day, or to give my husband to be the "wow factor." My search went on.

After some good emails with JAC Beauty, and a review of their feedback and work on their site, I figured I was in need of their help. Not only did I leave my trial a happy camper, Jina is a blast to work with. She listened, she was patient and reassuring, and most of all, she delivered! Even when I emailed her a week before my wedding to tell her that I had changed my mind on my hair, she was as cool and as reassuring as before.

On the day of my wedding, she came with her arsenal, and made my bridesmaid, my mother in law and me more gorgeous than I could have hoped for! My hair looked great, and felt right, and my makeup really made me feel I was as beautiful as I could have hoped for. And when my mother walked in with sub-par makeup from a salon, she was able to turn it around, and make her eyes sparkle! The best part of the day was having my husband tell me over and over again how beautiful I was. JAC Beauty was well worth the search.

I could not be happier with the hair and makeup services I received from JAC Beauty (the talented Jina and Carol) of JAC Beauty! There are so many vendors out there that offer outdated styles for ridiculous prices, so finding the right team to do hair and make-up can be quite nerve-wracking.

Not so with JAC Beauty. Jina and Carol really worked and *listened* to me, during my multiple trials (I had a different type of headpiece and couldn't make a decision) and always made sure that the outcome reflected what I wanted. You can't say that about all vendors.

Jina and Carol were also impressively efficient- I had a day-time wedding (10am ceremony) and Jina and Carol were able to take care of everyone without rushing through anything. I received many compliments on BOTH my hair (thank you Carol!!) AND my makeup (thanks Jina!!), and my mother as well as bridesmaids also got paid many compliments throughout the day as well!

I would definitely recommend Jina and Carol to any bride due to their versatility, professionalism, and most importantly the quality of their work.

I used JAC Beauty for New Year's Eve and my engagement photo shoot. They listened to what I wanted and advised me on what looks would suit me. I couldn't be more happier with the way my hair and makeup looked =) Plus, they are a pleasure to be around!

My only regret was I didn't use them for my wedding day. I wish I did now because I was not happy the way my makeup turned out in my pictures. I looked bare that day! Going forward, I will be using them for special events and recommend them to anyone that would need their services.

Jina responded quickly and gave me quite a few good suggestions.
Great service and on time. good value.

Absolutely the most flexible, sweet and talented make up artist. My bridesmaids and I found her not only trustworthy but also reliable for both our hair and makeup. I've had two wedding ceremonies and the first time getting my makeup done was just disastrous. After realizing that I've been painted like a Geisha, I had to wipe off my entire face five minutes before walking down the aisle, hence I was quite nervous about getting my makeup done a second time, but as soon as I saw how Jina worked with my bridesmaids (I got mine done last), I knew that she was perfect! Our pictures look so natural, and my now husband was able to "recognize" me as I walked down! Thank you so much Jina! We wouldn't have been able to pull off the massive wedding without you!!!

Jina & Carol are both very professional, personable, wonderful etc... Words cannot describe how wonderful they both are... They both worked with the budget I had to offer, yet they still provided the highest quality of artistry for my wedding day. They had made all my bridesmaids and mothers comfortable. My mother became very fond of them! If I were to get married again I would hire them! I would recommend them to everyone! I am blessed to have met both of them, and also have them work with me for my special day! Thank you JINA & CAROL!!! May God continuously shower you with blessings!

I was having such a hard time finding an Asian Hair & Makeup Vendor down in Philly, so I posted a thread on weddingbee.com. Carol contacted me very shortly and we had a series of emails back and forth. Eventhough, they were located in NYC, I decided to do a trial with them. The trial was great, I loved their personalities and the work that they did. I kept my hair & makeup on all night until 11 pm, just to see if it would remain in tack... and it did, not a pin came loose.

Needless to say, I booked them right away for my wedding. Jina & Carol were very professional, provided pictures of the trial, kept an open line of communication and even gave some beauty tips. They were very easy to work with, flexible, arrived on time and very efficient. My entire bridal party was very happy with their hair & makeup and if you know my girls, sometimes it is hard to please all 7 of them.

I would highly reccommend Jina & Carol as they were so amazing to work with!!!

They did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my engagement photos. Unfortunately she was already booked to do my hair and makeup for the wedding. I would highly recommend them.

Jina was a delight to work with.

Jina is a great person to work with. I contacted her at the last minute and she is very responsive and professional. She can do both hairs and makeup which is amazing.

Jina is awesome. Not only is she a talented make-up artist, she also knows how to let the bride stay calm and enjoy her important day. As much as it is the responsibility of every wedding vendors to "do their jobs" (although some fail to even do this part competently), Jina goes above and beyond with a friendly smile. I'd recommend her to any bride who wants more than just beautiful make-up (not to mention those wonderful eyelashes that never fell off even when i cried oh so many times during the wedding) - such as exceptional service.

Jina and Carol did my makeup and hair for my engagement photo session and were both a joy to work with. Their prices are very reasonable, and they are super talented! I didn't really tell them how I wanted my hair done, but somehow, it came out just as I had hoped for. My makeup looked very natural, not cakey, and looked great in our pictures. Unfortunately I was getting married across the country so I couldn't utilize their services for my wedding day. If I ever get my photos taken again, I'm definitely using them!
