Abigail Sent on 01/21/2025Amazing at every turn!!
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. -

Lily Sent on 10/21/2024Beautiful results, very organized and responsive
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! -

Erica Sent on 10/01/2024A dream to work with
Fei was a dream to work with from start to finish and her artistry made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!
– Communication: Fei was very prompt in her communication. I had a lot of questions for her from the time I had originally reached out in the spring up until my wedding day in late September, and she was quick to respond each time. When it came to the in-person trial and day-of appointments, it was so easy to talk to Fei, too! She's very professional but also personable and funny, and she made both experiences genuinely enjoyable.
– Expertise: Fei has a great deal of expertise in her work. I requested a change in my hairstyle in between my trial and wedding day and Fei knew what I needed in order to make the look work (certain types of hair extensions, a bridal hair pin, etc.) She offered perspectives on what my options were and helped me make informed decisions.
– Hair: I got so many compliments on my hair and the style held through the full day. As mentioned above, I used hair extensions and they stayed in place through a ceremony, multi-hour photoshoot, and evening dinner and drinks.
– Make-Up: I loved the make-up look Fei developed for me. It felt like an elevated look to my features and usual look, and held well throughout the day. It photographed so well, too!
Many thanks, Fei! I'm so appreciative. -

Lauren Sent on 09/05/2024Goddess-Level Glam by Fei Xu's Dream Team!
A few months before my summer 2024 wedding, I was struggling to find a makeup artist in Boston experienced with Asian faces. My bridal party and I are mixed-race Asian, and after an unsuccessful trial with another artist, we realized we needed someone skilled in techniques that complement Asian features. We found Fei Xu's website, and though she was booked, two team members, Yuki and Priceless, were available. They created stunning, personalized looks for all of us, closely following our inspiration photos and feedback to ensure we were happy with the results. For my bridal hair, I changed my mind from the half-updo look I had done at the trial and opted instead for a vintage pin-curl style on the wedding day. Yuki used authentic pin-curl techniques to craft the old Hollywood look I envisioned—something other stylists had not been able to do with the same reference photos during previous trials. My makeup also held up beautifully through the entire day and night and remained beautiful and luminous even after getting sweaty on the dance floor! Overall, we were blown away by the skill of Fei's team and would highly recommend their services. -

Excessed Expectations
Fei is not only a great HMUA, but she is just a great person to work with. She gave me helpful tips to prep my skin and hair to ensure the longetivity of the style and maintain a healthy glowy look. She listened attentively and kept in contact to ensure she understood my vision. She was also flexible as I had a traditional ceremony in the morning, so that means the start time was at 2:30 AM! I booked HMU for my bridesmaids too and all of them were satisfied with their looks and had positive expereinces with both Fei and her assistant, Lynn. 11/10 would recommend! -

Fei is amazing!
Fei not only did an absolutely amazing job on our hair for my wedding, but she is truly an incredible person. She communicated so well from day 1 and made sure I was satisfied with everything from the actual hair style all the way down the music I wanted to listen to during the services. If you need a great stylist for your wedding/event hair, look no further!
Thanks again Fei! ❤️ -

Fei is an incredible hair and makeup artist who made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She nailed the look I was going for 100%. She's not only talented, she's an absolute delight to work with. She was flexible and adaptable when it came to any requested changes after the trial, and was a really calming presence on the day of! Would absolutely book again. -

Jennifer Sent on 06/20/2024Super experienced with wedding glam!
Fei is super sweet and extremely experienced with wedding glam. I first contacted Fei regarding her availability 6 months prior to my wedding and she was really quick to respond to my emails and provided all the information I asked for to complete the reservation. We did a trial first and she was so patient to show me different styles before choosing one for my final look. On my wedding day, she was able to do my make up and hair perfectly like how we discussed. Everyone in my bridal party was so happy with the way their makeup and hair came out! In between the tea ceremony and dinner, I had went outside to take pictures and it was sunny and windy that day, and really glad I got the glam squad package because I really needed a touch up before dinner. Thank you so much for taking care of us! Overall, Fei was very accommodating and attentive to my needs, whilst being punctual and professional. I can tell she is really familiar with taking care of brides. I highly recommend Fei and her team for your wedding glam :) -

Lily Sent on 06/08/2024Fantastic makeup artist especially talented with Asian makeup
I had a great trial with Fei back in March and she truly delivered amazing work on my wedding this past Thursday! I chose to have an elopement with my fiancé (now husband) and the most important thing to us were our photos that we can share with loved ones.
Fei made sure we looked camera ready - our hair and makeup were wonderfully done by her and she is also so friendly and made the experience enjoyable. My husband, who has never used makeup, was not used to someone being so close to his eyes, but Fei never missed and made him feel more at ease. He has unique features (i.e., deep-set eyes) and she was able to bring out his blue eyes often hidden by his dark circles.
I had quotes from other Asian makeup artists and Fei was by far the most reasonable and accommodating. Having been a bridesmaid for several friends, I have never seen a bride get a facial mask treatment the day of like Fei did for me. She truly made me feel relaxed and beautiful and all day, my husband kept praising how great the makeup looked.
I know her business will continue to flourish. Asian MUAs in the Northeast is a niche but important market and Fei's talents stand out. I must point out that she also has non-Asian clients, of course, and has editorial experience.
In summary, I highly recommend Fei! Please reach out to her; she is extremely responsive and detail oriented.
Note: As I've only received sneak peeks of the wedding photos, I have a few photos to show. The one eating cake was early morning and the second was at City Hall four hours after shooting outdoors in warm summer heat. My makeup and hair held up well and I did not touch up due to the tight schedule. -

Christine Sent on 06/04/2024Invaluable Experience - Would Book Again In a Heartbeat
I cannot begin to express what an honor it was to work with Fei and her team! I had been flip-flopping on getting professional hair and makeup done for my wife and me but ultimately pulled the trigger a month before the wedding day. Not only was Fei able to accommodate us on short notice (!!), but she was also extremely responsive to all questions and requests. It is clear that Fei’s years of experience helped her guide me in making the best decisions to elevate my natural features. Fei suggested a soft glam look instead of my original soft Korean makeup request to better flatter my tan Southeast Asian skin. I am glowing in our wedding photos instead of looking gray! Never once did I doubt her expertise! Fei spent almost 1.5 hours styling my hair into an intricate mermaid braid, which was the star of the day. I received so many compliments on both!
Priceless took care of my lovely wife and really drew attention to her eyes, giving her an elegant, timeless beauty. Many times during the evening, I was unable to look away from my wife :) Thank you again, Fei and Priceless. Truly, the best team we could have hoped for!Fei Xu Beauty Studio's reply:
Christine, I can’t say enough how adorable and sweet you both are. When I saw the photos you kindly shared with us, it was clear you couldn't take your eyes off each other. The love between you is palpable, even through the camera. We are truly honored to be part of your big day and wish you both a happily ever after and all the best in everything. -

Grace Sent on 05/19/2024Wonderfully tailored makeup - absolutely recommend!
Fei did a wonderful job with my bridal makeup and hair! She is clearly a makeup expert with tons of experience, and she was very nice and professional. It was a joy to have her with us on our big day! She really listened to my preferences while also providing her own expert recommendations, and she tailored the makeup for my specific features and skin tone. We also booked the glam squad package, where she followed us throughout the day and helped maintain all aspects of my makeup and even gave me a hairstyle change, which I really loved! I'm so glad I chose her as my makeup artist! Thank you so much, Fei!Fei Xu Beauty Studio's reply:
