Fei Xu Beauty Studio

Working with Fei and Yuki was such a pleasure! Fei coordinated with me to discuss services, scheduling, and styles while Yuki was my HMUA for the wedding. Leading up, Fei was super responsive and answered every question I had in detail. She walked me through the process and took any changes I requested in stride (e.g. number of services, schedule, etc.). Yuki was really lovely, kind, and talented. She was similarly responsive to requests I made for my HMU both during the trial and on the wedding day. She also got rave reviews from my mom and MIL! All of our makeup lasted all day, even through dancing and after party. Highly recommend them both!

I truly could not have dreamed of a better experience for my wedding! Fei was super communicative heading into the trial and wedding and I felt 100% confident she would do an amazing job. The day of was so fun and chill and we all looked amazing. The hair and makeup also lasted all night to an insane degree. I still have gorgeous glowy skin and perfectly curled hair in the end of night photos where we’ve been dancing for 2+ hours. Same goes for the entire bridal party. Cannot recommend enough!!

Fei was my fei-ry godmother of all things beauty leading up to my October wedding! I've never seen my hair or makeup look so lovely! Her portfolio speaks for itself on her artistry in both hair and makeup, so I want to highlight the things you can't see from pictures:

Fei is an amazing communicator -- she gives her opinions and takes feedback in a way that doesn't make you feel insecure about your looks and preferences. I had a bit of anxiety around not wanting to look like a different person on my wedding day, but Fei was able to help me look/feel like myself while still being beautifully elevated.

She also had techniques for all of my usual beauty issues -- in particular, I have fine hair & not much of it cut in layers (the enemy of most hairstyles) and my monolids always give me panda eyes within hours even with eye primer. But Fei managed to give me my exact inspiration picture hair and her eye makeup magic lasted all night!

Fei is well worth the investment -- her guidance and skill helped me feel confident both on the "one day" and in the "forever" pictures. Thank you, Fei!!

I recommend Fei Xu and her team one million percent! As soon as I came across Fei's work, I knew she was the artist for me. I wanted to feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day, and wanted to be sure my family (sister, mom, step-mom, and mother-in-law) did too. Fei and Yuki did just that! They are truly experts, and importantly for me, calm and professional presences. I trusted Fei implicitly throughout the process. She made recommendations after my trial, and I felt like an absolute princess on my wedding day. On the bus home after my reception, multiple friends mentioned how beautiful my makeup still looked! I was just thrilled with her work and recommend Fei and her team highly.

Fei was amazing! She did make up/hair for myself, mother, mother in law, and maid of honor the day of the wedding and was very attentive and detailed with the whole process. We had different skin tones (Asian, Indian) and hair types (straight, wavy, fine hair) and she was able personalize all our looks. We all felt beautiful thanks to Fei!

Fei did my makeup for my wedding weekend, as well as for my mom and cousin, and we couldn’t have been happier. She’s a talented makeup artist with extensive experience in both editorial work and weddings. During my trial, she listened carefully to what I wanted, incorporated my feedback seamlessly, and stayed up to date on current beauty trends. She even sent me a thoughtful email with skincare tips leading up to the big day, which was incredibly helpful. On the wedding day, Fei was a joy to be around—professional, calming, and fun. She kept us on schedule while making sure every detail looked perfect. My makeup lasted all night, and I received compliments throughout the evening. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Fei for your wedding makeup!

Fei and her team were truly incredible and such a special part of my wedding day. From the very beginning, Fei shared so many helpful tips and thoughtful advice that made the entire hair and makeup process feel seamless and fun. On the day of, she made me feel absolutely beautiful. My look was everything I had hoped for and more. My hair and makeup stayed flawless all night, and I truly felt like the best version of myself, just elevated in the most natural, radiant way.

Fei brought such a calming, joyful presence to the morning, which made getting ready one of my favorite parts of the day. My bridesmaids, cousins, mom, and aunts all looked and felt amazing too, and we all felt so well taken care of. I’m beyond grateful for Fei’s talent, kindness, and care. She went above and beyond, and I can’t recommend her enough to future brides especially those who are mixed Asian!

I cannot express how thankful I am to have found Fei for my wedding hair and makeup! After some frustrating experiences with other hair and makeup artists in the past, I was a bit apprehensive. However, from the moment I met Fei and her assistant, I knew I was in expert hands. They were incredibly communicative and offered valuable tips and advice ahead of time.

During my session, Fei truly brought my vision to life. The makeup was not only stunning but also felt so comfortable on my skin that I hardly noticed it throughout the day. I felt so beautiful! Fei is a master at enhancing natural beauty. When my husband saw me for the first time on our wedding day, he shed a tear. It was the first time I had ever seen him cry.

Fei even worked on my husband’s hair for our wedding day. His hair looked great, and now his mom and sisters are telling him to do his hair how he had it on our wedding day every day, haha.

Fei's assistant worked magic with my bridesmaids, each with their own unique style. My bridesmaids joked among themselves that one felt like a beautiful mermaid, one felt like Cinderella, one felt like a Greek goddess, and one felt like a medieval princess, and they all looked absolutely amazing!

Fei made my wedding day dreams come true, and her easy-going nature made the whole experience enjoyable. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel their absolute best on their special day! Thank you, Fei!

Fei and her team with the absolute perfect fit for my wedding. I scoured the greater Boston area searching for a makeup and hair artist whose galleries showed a breadth of experience in different ethnicities, hair types, and the particular style of makeup I wanted (Douyin/angelic dewey style). Additionally, my wedding was held in my hometown over an hour away, so they needed to be able to travel. Not only did Fei Xu Beauty Studio display a breadth of experience and skill in all of my requirements, and were willing to travel, but they were frankly the ONLY makeup and hair artist team who I was confident had this variety of skill.
And needless to say, she and her team did amazingly! I and my bridesmaids all felt gorgeous and confident upon the completion of their work. I remember that before I showed my bridal party the makeup and hair artist I chose, quite a few of the girls messaged my privately that they were worried a makeup artist would not be able to effectively do their hair and makeup. However, after I told them I had decided to go with Fei Xu Beauty Studio, and sent them her extensive gallery, everyone was so excited! And for good reason.
I cannot stress enough how perfect Fei and her team are! I am so grateful to have hired them for my wedding. And they were super kind and personable, which is always a happy bonus.

I hired Fei and her team for my wedding on 10/5/2024 to do hair+makeup for myself (bride), 3 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers. I reached out to Fei because I wanted to work with someone experienced with East Asian skin and hair. I don’t wear makeup normally, and it’s not something I have a lot of expertise in, so I wanted to work with someone who knew what they were doing.

Fei was extremely responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. We quickly settled on a date for my hair and makeup trial, and Fei emailed me a questionnaire to understand what kind of look I was going for and give me customized skincare tips based on my existing routine. Though Fei herself was booked for my date, she set me up with Yuki (who did my hair+makeup and my mom and MIL) and Sherry (who did my 3 bridesmaids).

I met with Yuki for my trial about a month before the wedding, and we workshopped my whole look, trying different shades for eyeshadows and lip colors. She was very friendly and made the process completely unintimidating, even for a makeup newbie like me. We met at a nice, well-lit and clean salon space in Brookline, though she did offer to come to my place in Cambridge (I just did not have enough space at my home). I was impressed with what Yuki did with my hair; I didn’t have high hopes since my hair is a short pixie without much volume, but the final look surpassed my expectations.

On the wedding day, Yuki and Sherry came to the bridal suite on time (they traveled to my venue in Cambridge), and they stayed on schedule the whole morning. Yuki recreated my look from the trial efficiently and faithfully from the detailed pictures she took. Yuki even chatted with my mom in Chinese while doing her makeup, which helped reassure my mom and calm her jitters. I felt so beautiful and bridal! Even though I don’t normally wear makeup, I still felt like myself with the makeup on. They left us with some touch-up supplies for the rest of the day, but the makeup was so bulletproof that I didn’t feel a need to use them.

In summary, Fei Xu’s beauty team is organized and communicative, experts at what they do, and they truly made me feel confident and beautiful!
