This is long overdue—but I got married on December 27, 2024 and I had the pleasure of having Cherie as my hair and makeup artist. Cherie really gave me the bridal experience—not only did she make me feel beautiful, but the conversations and joking helped make the morning go by so smooth. I had a slight hiccup with the hotel we were staying at, but Cherie was so helpful with reminding me to stay calm and have someone else handle it. When she arrived, she reached out to my Matron of Honor just so that I didn’t have to worry which was so thoughtful. She balances the friendly and business vibes very well. As far as providing the look I was going for she really nailed it. I wanted to go softer than I normally go for with a traditional French twist—I felt incredible. She really listens and tends to your needs on that day. If I had any suggestions, needed a darker brow she didn’t make me feel bad about asking. If you want to have the ultimate bridal experience, please book Cherie if you can. You will not regret it. If I have to get my hair and make up done I will absolutely reach out again.

Working with Cherie was such a wonderful experience! I knew from our first few back-and-forths via email that Cherie was communicative and reliable. She was thorough in understanding what I was looking for and I didn't have any worries about my hair during all of the other chaos of wedding planning.

On the day of, Cherie made me feel super comfortable and took her time to let me figure out how I wanted my hair to be parted. Throughout our time, she also shared tips on how to get my veil in and out of my hair and also gave me product recommendations for my everyday hair styling. We also had a lovely time just chatting and getting to know each other. It really was the best way to kick off my wedding day! In the end I had a beautiful half-up, half-down hairdo that made me feel so pretty on my special day. Would absolutely recommend working with Cherie -- she is warm, excellent at her craft, and trustworthy. Thank you Cherie for playing a huge role on my wedding day! (Don't have the official photos yet so here's a behind the scenes!)

Cherie was the most wonderful HMUA I had the privilege of working with for my wedding day. Highly recommend if you are an Asian bride and want to look beautiful, fabulous, and confident on your wedding day!

She did my bridal hair + makeup and was able to also bring an assistant to help with my mom and the groom's mom's hair and makeup a little last minute. THANK YOU for the flexibility.

She is obviously experienced. Her portfolio on Instagram is what convinced me to choose her out of the many options out there. I wanted a HMUA who has worked with Asian brides before and could handle a variety of styles. I was undecided on what I wanted my final look to be, but she applied her signature touch, adjusted to my feedback, and was able to make me look and feel my best.

Trial: The trial went so smoothly and I ADORED the look she gave me. I literally felt like a fairy princess and got soooooooooo many compliments.

Wedding day: About a week ahead of the wedding day, we were finalizing details, and I wanted to change from an updo to a half-up half-down hairstyle to accommodate a bow/veil thing I tacked on last minute. Day of, she came a little earlier to do a mini consultation and executed flawlessly. I honestly loved the updo so much too! Too bad I had to commit to only one look haha.

Besides that, she is just so fun to chat with. If you're spending 6+ hours with someone, it's important to enjoy talking and working with them!

TL;DR - Loved working with Cherie, highly recommend for bridal HMUA.
