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! -

Refined Beauty has the best teams! This is my third time getting services from them - the first two were as a bridesmaid and because of the great experience, I booked them for my wedding day. It was definitley a no-brainer since I loved my hair and make up the first couple times and knew they would deliver. I heard a few horror stories from friends of other hair & makeup companies not showing up at all for their weddings, but I knew this wouldn't happen with Refined Beauty.
For my wedding I had Vicky, Wendy, and Karissa - all of them are so nice and are really able to do it all. I let my bridesmaids choose any hair and make up style they wanted and everyone came out looking amazing! My mom, MIL, and husband's sister also got services and they looked great! I love that they listen to what each person wants and helps bring the vision to life. I had a great experience during my hair and makeup trial as well, so I felt good going into my wedding day. My hair and make up lasted all day, but didn't feel heavy - which is important cause I don't usually do full face every day. We also had a change in our timeline, so our morning got pushed up from 8am to 6am(!!). I felt really bad, since it was only about a month out from our wedding date, but Vicky and her team were able to accommodate us and reassured that we would be able to finish on time. Highly recommend and definitely book in advance - they book quickly for good reason! -

I got married on November 9th and absolutely loved how me and everyone getting their hair and make up done looked on my wedding day! Vicky is super responsive and made a really good timeline to make sure everyone got ready on time! Shelby and Wendy did a phenomenal job on doing everyone's makeup and hair and they were amazing to work with! I highly recommend Refined Beauty for their services! -

This is my review for Vicky and Wendy. Vicky (make-up artist) and Wendy (hair stylist) did my bridal trial and day of wedding makeup & hair for me and my bridal party (4 bridesmaids, mother of groom, and mother of bride).
For my hair, it was my fault for cutting it short right before the trial so for the wedding day I actually used hair extensions and that was the best idea ever. I loved my hair so much and it lasted the whole night! The curls were much looser than the trial and I loved that Wendy took that feedback.
Vicky understood exactly what I wanted and learned from the trial that using more voluminous eyelashes on the wedding day would look better on me. Vicky is extremely fast with doing make-up, but she is also very good at it. She made all of us look flawless and natural. In the past, I’ve had my make-up done by other artists and they always make my eyebrows look too thick. I made sure to let Vicky know that and she took that feedback and made sure my eyebrows were the way I liked.
Overall, I would definitely highly recommend Vicky and her team for bridal hair and make-up. They did such a fantastic job for me and my bridal party. I am very very pleased and happy with how everything turned out. My wedding day was a huge success thanks in part to Vicky and Wendy -

Vicky and Jenny did makeup and hair for myself and 8 other people!
They made us all feel so comfortable and we loved our final looks. I highly recommend booking with Refined Beauty.
They were on time, efficient, responsive, and just so fun to talk to as well.

Anitra and Dom from Refined Beauty did an amazing job with makeup and hair, respectively, for me, all my bridesmaids, and my mom/mom-in-law. Somehow, both my hair and makeup stayed looking amazing until the end of our wedding. I would highly recommend both of them for hair and makeup services!! -

Refined Beauty was incredible to work with on my wedding day! I had a tall order with 20 people (myself, friends, my mom, groom's mom, and two flower girls) needing hair and/or makeup done. Vicky set me up with five incredible artists (Jenny, Khloe, Marisa, Dianne, and Caroline) who got everyone's services done flawlessly... and early! Everyone was thrilled with how their hair and makeup turned out! -

The best hmua in socal!
Refined Beauty is literally the BEST HMUA team for weddings! From the moment I contacted them to the day of, their communication, friendliness, and expertise was amazing. During my makeup trial, I had a few adjustments that I wanted made and Vicky was so accommodating and friendly. She took her time to ensure I was 100% happy with the outcome. About three months before our wedding, they kindly sent over the timeline for the day of. They were flexible with any adjustments I wanted to make and made it so much easier to plan for the day. On our wedding day, we had 10 total women in our group needing services, so I was worried we needed to start as early as 5AM. We started at 8AM, had a 1 hour gap as we switched locations, and finished with time to spare at 1:30PM. Let me just say, they made me feel SO beautiful. My makeup was perfect with just the right amount of glam to make me feel like a princess but without making me look unrecognizable. My hair was straight out of a movie (thank you Kerry). My girls were also super happy with Julee’s work. The team as a whole is amazing and super talented. I could not recommend them enough! If you’re looking for quality, friendliness, and speed, you found the right team!! -

Chelsea K. Sent on 07/17/2024Vicky and her team are true professionals
I had a large bridal party and knew from the start I needed to hire a team who could do both hair and makeup for 11 women. I spent a while searching, comparing pricing, and scouring pictures, as I wanted to pick a team who could make not just myself, but all of my party and our wide range of skin tones feel beautiful. I was also concerned with getting 11 people through in a timely manner, but Vicky created a schedule that made the flow of the morning so easy. I could not be happier with the incredible job that Vicky and her team did. Everyone looked stunning in their own ways, and we had a genuinely great time hanging out with our stylists Vicky, Wendy, Anitra, and Kristin as they glammed us out. Thank you again to Vicky and her team, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone! -

Out of this world!
Refined Beautify assigned Celeste (Celestial Glam) to be my makeup artist, and she did my hair & makeup and also my mom's makeup. I was going for a natural/glowy look, and Celeste nailed it. She was SUPERB, and I can't rave about her enough! I definitely recommend reaching out to her directly for your wedding. -

The best!
I've never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and a huge part of that was my STUNNING hair & makeup. I originally looked at Refined Beauty but they we're booked up for my date. I then booked an individual HMUA who basically ghosted me after I paid my deposit. I reached back out to Refined Beauty and Vicky worked her magic to book me, I was so thankful! I was booked with Kristin for hair and Khloe for makeup and both were incredible. Kristin is literally a hair genius and Khloe is a makeup master! I was really worried about my hair staying all day but it didn't move an inch. And for my makeup, I decided to change it day of and as soon as Khloe handed me the mirror after, I was in tears, everything was so perfect. Thank you all so much ladies!!! -

Incredible Experience
I had the best experience with Refined Beauty throughout the entire process — from booking my services to the day of my wedding.
For my trial hair & makeup, at the last minute, my mom had decided to travel in to help with a few other wedding details and was interested in having a trial done as well. When I asked to see if this was something that they could accommodate, they were quick to adjust. Vicky was our make-up artist and Jenny was our hair stylist. They were both incredible, personable, and experts at what they do. Not only did we love our hair and make-up, but we had such a fun time with them. Felt like catching up with old friends.
For my trial hair and makeup, I decided to do a dress fitting the same day to see how the entire look would come together. My make-up and hair were both gorgeous, but after trying on my dress I realized that my original make up inspiration didn’t really match the aesthetic I was going for with the look of my dress. Afterwards, I gave them feedback and they were very receptive.
On the day of my wedding, Vicky easily made adjustments to what I was looking for. I was blown away with my final look and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Additionally, they did services for all my bridesmaids (4), MOB, and MOG, and each one of them told me that this was the best make-up and hair they’ve had done for a wedding.
As everyone knows, the day-of can be quite hectic with everything that needs to be done. Vicky and Jenny, were efficient at getting through our schedule without missing a detail. We had a few things go off track that needed my attention and they were so calm, flexible, and able to quickly adjust to keep us on schedule, helping to keep me at ease.
I absolutely loved working with Refined Beauty. Vicky and Jenny were nothing short of incredible. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. -

Brianna R. Sent on 08/27/2023Loved my hair, they made everything so easy
FIVE STARS. I found Refined Beauty here on Wedding Wire and really loved all their rave reviews, so reached out to see if they had availability to do hair for my August 19, 2023 wedding. I had already booked a MUA but hadn't found anyone for hair that I liked, and it was getting pretty close to my date so I was having anxiety around figuring it out. I had an initial call with Vicky in early June and thought she was great and also found their prices very reasonable. I was nervous that I was cutting it close with my trial which was in July and fairly close to my wedding date (what if it didn't work out, what if I had to start over, etc etc) but Sarah was amazing and I knew I immediately knew I would be in great hands on my wedding day. She did a couple styles for me to see what I liked and it was hard to decide because both were gorgeous! On the day of my wedding my bridesmaids loved her and it was so great having her as part of my special day. They were also super flexible when I had some last minute changes (I had a bridesmaid that wanted to get added, and then my mom decided to opt out of hair) but Vicky is awesome and was really understanding. Highly recommend!! -

Robyn L. Sent on 05/12/2023Amazing hair and makeup experience
I had an amazing experience with Refined Beauty, especially with Vicky and Julee. Vicky was very prompt and responsive to all my emails, and they were very understanding when there were delays with our wedding when I was diagnosed with cancer. I was worried I would not look very good after going through chemo and losing all my hair, but I still felt beautiful after Julee did a great job styling my wig and using makeup to hide the redness on my skin :).
I liked that the makeup they applied was more natural looking (I have seen other places that have applied caked on/heavy looking makeup but this was not the case at all). Julee and the rest of the team arrived on time for both the trials on the wedding day and promptly got to work. They also did a great job on hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and the rest of the wedding party. Their prices are also very reasonable, and I got a lot of compliments on my hair and makeup from our wedding guests. I would definitely recommend them! -

Jessica Sent on 05/06/2023I felt like a GODDESS 🥰
Vicky was amazing from day 1! When I first reached out, Vicky was quick to respond and answered all my questions. Fast forward to trial day, she was super friendly, easy to talk to, and listened to what I wanted. I’ve never tried a soft glam look so I asked for that at my trial. Afterwards, I realized I liked more of a Smokey eye look, although the soft glam was done beautifully and flawlessly! I also told her I wanted fuller lashes and thinner brows on wedding day.
Fast forward another few months to wedding day, Vicky came with such great energy and really delivered! She remembered all the little details of what I wanted back from when I told her after the trial, and made me look PERFECT. I have never felt more beautiful in my life. My makeup stayed on ALL NIGHT, my skin looked seriously flawless, and I looked absolutely radiant all night. My 6 bridesmaids also looked so beautiful, and she nailed the look that each one wanted to a tee. We had a range of skin tones and shades and she did an excellent job color matching everyone and choosing complimenting lip colors.
Overall, I would 100% recommend Vicky and team to anyone looking for bridal makeup!! Not only was the service exemplary, she is also extremely friendly, funny, easy to talk to, and has just been such a pleasure to work with! THANK YOU VICKY ❤️ -

Kerry and Julee were amazing to work with. Kerry did my bridal hair and makeup on wedding day. She made sure everything looked perfect to what I envisioned when we did our wedding trial makeup. She had great energy and was so easy to talk to. Our makeup and hair lasted all day without being so cakey which was important to me. Julee was patient and listed to my bridal party needs when doing their makeup. I loved both of them and would hire them again in a heartbeat! Lastly, Vicky (booking manager) was so responsive and communicative which made booking with them seamless. Thank you again, Refined Beauty for being such an integral part of my wedding experience!
