    Talented Makeup Artist!

    1. Quick and detailed responses: Mei and her husband, Robert run the company together, with Robert handling the business and scheduling side of things, resulting in email responses that took sometimes less than an hour to receive, while I had to wait a few days or weeks to hear from other companies. Given I am in another state and time zone, this helped me with my own scheduling and planning.

    2. A personalized hair and makeup trial: I highly suggest opting for the hair and makeup trial in Mei’s studio beforehand. Her studio is located in Union Square, which was a 5 minute walk away from my hotel, making it super convenient. Her studio is small yet open, airy, and beautiful. She has music playing, making the mood light and comfortable. I showed her pictures of the hairstyle and makeup I wanted and she asked me a few follow-up questions to better understand the colors and setting of my wedding. She immediately understood my vision and quickly replicated and exceeded my expectations.

    3. A prompt, speedy yet perfect wedding day: Mei and her additional team member, Anna, showed up early to our hotel on our wedding day to set up. And because I had a hair and makeup trial, my estimated 2-hour time slot only took 1.5 hours- but Mei’s work was flawless! Everyone in my wedding party absolutely loved their makeup and hairstyles. And Mei and Anna were so relaxed yet professional, and getting ready with them around was like having two additional friends to chat with.

    4. A natural, enhanced look: Mei specializes and emphasizes that her makeup style is natural, which is exactly what I wanted. Her philosophy is to enhance the natural beauty of all her brides, and as an artist, she really does achieve that. I’m usually apprehensive to get my makeup done because I sometimes don’t recognize the person staring back at me in the mirror. But Mei made me feel the most beautiful, inside and out. She was so lovely to chat with and get to know.

    I do not regret hiring Triple Twist- they made my wedding experience stress free and joyful and I can’t thank them enough!

    Perfect makeup for the whole group, easy to work with

    I tried makeup from 3 artists, and Mei at Triple Twist way my favorite by a wide margin. She really listened to my preferences (don't go bold on the eyebrow) and put a lot of effort into perfecting the look, including blending foundations to match my fair and hard to match complexion. She did the makeup for the bridal party and the moms and everyone looked stunning. I was particularly impressed with the work on both moms, it was so tasteful, elegant, stately...we told my mom she looked like Madame President. It also lasted super well, on both the wedding and photoshoot days. The setup she brings to the hotel room is nice and makes for great photos, and it's really easy to work with her and her husband (he runs the business side) by email and their contracts are well organized and straight forward. The SF location is easy to get to for your trial, or if you are a City Hall bride then she would be so convenient. Absolutely recommend!

    Mei is A-mei-zing

    I did a trial with Mei a few days before our destination wedding. We sat down and I showed her my accessories, told her that I don’t wear makeup so was looking for something that wouldn’t take me too far out of my comfort zone, and showed her some Updo ideas. She did an amazing job putting together a light makeup look and applying lashes to enhance my best features, and I felt absolutely stunning by the time she was done. Not something I even imagined. She did an amazing job with my fine, thin hair. I don’t even know how she made it look like I had so much hair, but my updo was just perfect, had a very clean non-products look, and no flyaways which is a miracle for my hair. She took photos and sent to me so I could review and think on things over the next few days. She did an even better job on my day of and she appreciated and did a great job incorporating my few minor requests for tweaks.

    She also went way above and beyond and helped me get ready so I could keep my look a surprise to our guests and my husband.

    Mei is the absolute nicest person I can imagine, and honestly that means a lot because feeling beautiful is not something I do regularly and her gentle sweetness helped me open up to feeling the beauty she created and enhanced. Love Mei!!! I am looking for the next excuse to use Mei’s services already.
