Talented artists!

I cannot sing enough praises for Vicky and Jenny!! I am so so happy I found Refined Beauty Inc. Where to begin...

Makeup by Vicky: First off, I really wanted someone who knew how to do makeup for asian skin tones/faces. I've had bad experiences with makeup artists that struggled with my skin color and eye shape. Vicky is an absolute pro. I was blown away by her ability to mix up the exact shade of my and my bridesmaids' skin! That is pure skill and a testament to her abilities. She did beautiful work on my bridesmaids and they all loved their makeup. Not to mention, Vicky has such a great personality! So down-to-earth and we had a great time chatting and hanging out while getting ready! I wholeheartedly recommend Vicky and her team. My friend and I are seriously considering boking her for makeup lessons so we can attempt to recreate the looks she did for us!

Hair by Jenny: Jenny is so friendly and talented! She created so many different styles for my girls. I struggled with getting my hair just right, and she patiently worked with me to put every strand exactly in place. I got so many compliments on my hair :]. She is also fun and really easy to talk to. Thank you, Jenny, for being so receptive to feedback and making us look gorgeous!

Book these ladies!! You won't regret it!

The best beauty team!

Booking hair and makeup services through Refined Beauty was one of the best decisions I made on my wedding day. April was our makeup artist and Dom was our hair stylist. Vicky was easy to communicate with and everyone was prompt and on time. Everyone that got their hair/makeup done on the day of the wedding looked absolutely incredible. Highly highly recommend!

The best in the business!!

I can't speak high enough praise to Vicki and Wendy for both being so fantastic to work with. For both the trial and the day of Vicki absolutely killed it. She nailed exactly the look I was going for and I truly have never felt so beautiful!! She asked tons of questions to make sure I was happy with my end result that as someone not well versed in makeup I never would've thought of. We ended up finishing our services early (pretty much unheard of for wedding glam so extra points!!) And my entire bride squad was absolutely breathtaking :) If you're looking for pros who are wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding process look no further than Vicki and her team!!

Top 3!!! Professional, Calm, and Composed.

Hair and Makeup ranked among the top 3 vendors on our wedding day. Vicky and Dominique were incredibly professional, calm, and composed – which helped reduce stress on my wedding day. They stayed on schedule – and in many cases, even ahead – while doing all the girls’ hair and makeup.

With my hair, Dominique took my feedback since the trial, adjusting so I could love the final look even more. She also handled a tricky situation gracefully when one of my bridesmaids requested the same hairstyle as me, resolving it effortlessly without needing my input. Vicky was equally attentive with my makeup, answering my questions and even reapplying my lashes multiple times during the trial until they felt comfortable.

I loved how each one of my friends still looked like themselves, even with full, professional glam. Everyone’s styles were beautifully cohesive without any coordination on my part.

When researching vendors, it was important to me to find artists with proven experience working with Asian clients – and their Instagram provided both the expertise and examples I was seeking.

The Refined Beauty team was amazing!

Thank you so much to the team at Refined Beauty for making the HMU experience for my wedding so easy and enjoyable! Vicky was responsive and organized logistics between the artists and timeline for my coordinator and myself so seamlessly. Caroline (hair) and Anitra (makeup) were absolutely amazing - not only were they professional, capable, and accommodating, but they took care of a whopping 9 of us in a timely manner on the day of the wedding! It was fun and such a pleasure to work with Caroline and Anitra - they really took care of my ladies and myself by spending time to understand each person, help us feel comfortable, and of course make us look beautiful. I would highly Refined Beauty for a trusted one-stop shop for your wedding beauty needs!

Bridal Hair and Makeup

From the moment I requested a quote Vicky was super friendly and helpful with pricing options that matched my budget. I ended up booking a H&M trial as well and got assigned Kerry who is amazingggg!!! Kerry was very professional and friendly, she made the experience during the trial fun and knew exactly what questions to ask for me love my finished look. On the day of my wedding 6/21/25 Kerry did hair for myself and 4 other women, and the assistant did make up for the other women while Kerry did my makeup. Kerry gave us enough time to not feel rushed and also helped with touch ups and even provided me a little baggy of extra lip color, face sponge and qtips. She made me feel so beautiful and helped me feel confident for my big day!

Amazed, Astounded, Thankful

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Refined Beauty! Shelby (makeup) and Sarah (hair) were both absolutely incredible. They truly listened to our visions and brought them to life—making them even better than we imagined.

I was looking for a glam makeup look that elevated the makeup I wear every day, and Shelby nailed it. The makeup was flawless, felt like me (just extra special), and it lasted all night long. Sarah worked magic on my hair—it never holds a curl, but she made it not only stay, but look stunning the entire day. I’ve never seen my hair look so good.

Both Shelby and Sarah were kind, professional, and so easy to work with. I felt so confident, beautiful, and completely myself. If you’re considering Refined Beauty—go for it. They’re amazing.

I cannot recommend Refined Beauty enough! From start to finish, they were absolutely amazing. Not only did they make me and my bridal party look and feel stunning, but they also kept everything perfectly on schedule, making the morning stress-free and enjoyable. Their kindness and professionalism shined through every step of the way, and they were truly the ultimate hype women—making sure we felt confident, beautiful, and ready for the big day. If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and all-around incredible hair and makeup team, look no further!

Highly Recommend!

Vicky and Jenny did an absolutely amazing job on my makeup and hair for my wedding! Both were very responsive to my Pinterest inspo and feedback, making sure that I felt confident. I had a dry patch on my face that I was so worried would look flakey in pictures but Vicky miraculously made my look lasts all day.

My friends referred Refined Beauty to me and now I referred all my friends to them. They made me feel beautiful on my special day! Professional, friendly, and so talented—I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

Refine Beauty or Bust!

Vicky is amazing! My sister found her for her wedding in October 2022...I booked her immediately in early 2023 for my wedding on August 3, 2024. I loved my look for my sister's wedding and wanted something similar but with a 70s flare. Vicky was so excited to do a darker, bolder wedding glam look, compared to her typical requests for soft glam. She absolutely delivered! I will be coming back to Refined Beauty and recommend her any chance I can! Thank you Vicky!
