Not only is Lulu an absolute delight to be around, she is also INSANELY talented and easy to work with. Worth every penny! -
Sabena Sent on 09/29/2017Our wedding planner recommended Lulu, and she was AMAZING. I have never felt as relaxed, confident, and dolled up as I did working with Lulu. Like many mentioned, book her ASAP because she is in high demand. I had her assistant Janet for my first day (she was also super nice!) and Lulu for my second and third looks on my second day.
At the trial, Lulu knew exactly what she was doing - I showed her a few inspiration photos and she completely exceeded my expectations. She creates the look YOU want, and she does so effortlessly. I had hair pieces for two of my looks, and she put them in without stabbing my head or using a million bobby pins. Despite having a full face, hair extensions and 2 hours of work done, my face never felt cakey or heavy and my hair felt light and easy to move in around in.
Besides doing stunning makeup and hair, Lulu and Janet are easy going, sweet, and friendly people. When you spend 6-8 hours with a person, you want to make sure you get along. She was incredible and made me feel like a bride all throughout the wedding. -

User2353307 Sent on 10/06/2015Loved working with Lulu and Linh! Lulu was not available on my wedding day, so she did my engagement shoot hair and make up and it was great! Linh did my trials, pre-wedding events and wedding and reception hair and makeup! I absolutely love her :) She did an amazing job on me, my mom and my sister during the wedding weekend. The team she brought along were on time and professional and fun to work with. Their team also made my bridesmaids look amazing! We loved it! -
User1573435 Sent on 04/01/2014LULU is absolutely amazing. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and I looked fabulous. She is a makeup artist who used high quality makeup too. She is so humble, friendly, professional, outgoing, and nice! She is the number one person who I would recommend for any makeup/hair occasion. -

Nina Sent on 08/31/2011Lulu did my make up along with the 2 moms, sister and sister-in-law. I've gone to Lulu before for other events and as soon as I got engaged, I knew she would be the perfect person to be my make up artist. She did an amazing job with everyone!!! My dad even told my mom that she looked so beautiful, he wanted to marry her again :)
All our make up was perfect all throughout the day and we're big on crying. During my reception, I was surprised with a video from my family in the Philippines. As soon as it showed my grandma (the one person I really wish could be there, but couldn't due to her sickness), I cried like a baby. We're talking about a napkin drenched in tears, full on sobbing and shaking, ugly type of cry. As soon as the video was over, I went to the bridal room to fix my make up, but there was nothing to be fixed!!! Well my nose needed a little powder from rubbing it on a napkin so much, but even if I didn't powder it, no one would've noticed!
Lulu is the best of the best! She made me and the rest of the other women look and feel beautiful! LOVE HER!!!! -
User1760266 Sent on 08/12/2014Lulu is an amazing hair and makeup artist! She brings out the hidden beauty in everyone. Lulu has so much experience which allows her to work in a limited time between events. Would highly recommend her for all of your big events! -

I usually don't write reviews but the experience I had with Lulu was so unprofessional and unethical that I don't want any bride to go through what I went through.
Lulu was the first vendor I had booked as soon as my wedding date was finalized - which was one year out. I was so excited to have her do my HAMU. However, as soon as our contract was finalized, she stopped replying to my texts or emails. Months before the wedding, my planner and I would text/call/email her weekly with no responses. Two weeks out of my wedding date -she told me that she would only be able to make it for 2 of my events since she had overbooked with another client and won't be able to make the flight. I was really frustrated since I had booked her a year out for all my events. I let it pass since I had no other choice. At this time, she still hadn't shared her flight details - even after asking for it multiple times. I was getting worried -but my planner reassured me that she has never had a HAMU artist cancelled on a bride. One week out - still no updates on flight details and no responses to messages. Three days out -she text messages my planner that she had a family emergency and won't be able to come. My planner tries to get in touch with her but she doesn't pick up. She messages saying only one assistant will come to do my HAMU, who was originally supposed to do my mom. So now, I had to find someone from my mom as well.
The part that upsets me the most is that Lulu didn't even have the audacity to call me directly. I get it - life happens. But she couldn't take 2 mins out to call me and tell me directly. Also, I find out later from the assistant that Lulu had told her she wasn't going to make it the weekend prior. So she knew and didn't inform us until much later.
Brides just be aware - I never thought this would happen to me. If it happens once - it can happen again.
Here's another review of someone else going through a similar experience with Lulu:
"I've been debating writing this review for over a year now but I have decided to share my experience with others so they're aware. I had hired Lulu and her team for my wedding day well in advance. I had several events leading up to my wedding and hired other mua's for events to try them all out. Two weeks before my wedding, I had an event and the MUA asked me if I had confirmed everything with Lulu recently so I decided to email her and received no response, the mua was kind enough to give me lulus personal phone number (which lulu never did) and she responded confirming a week before. Another mua just days before my wedding told me she doesn't think Lulu will show up and I should have a backup. I truly didn't think that was possible since she had just confirmed with me. Now, imagine how I felt when I recieved an email the night before my wedding at 10 pm that she would not be able to make it. Me and my entire family started flipping out and contacting every mua in all of Southern California. I Lulu told me she had taken a trip to India to attend a friends wedding and got stuck there due to protests against the government. I know that's a rare situation but I also know that she would have known far sooner she was unable to make it as the trip back is about 24 hours so I could have known earlier (I also thought it was irresponsible to book a flight back the day before a client wedding). She had offered a replacement for her but when I looked up that mua she hadn't done a south Asian bride at all. I debated posting a review because this situation was so rare but it's been a year and it took me so long to realize how unprofessional she was. Even her team was confused and shocked when we told them! There was little to no communication and I stayed up till 4 am on my wedding day confirming a different MUA. So yeah just beware of unreliable MUA's!"
