    Book Nadia!

    Nadia was absolutely the right choice for my wedding day hair and makeup. She is communicative, responsive, and detail-oriented. I'm not someone who wears makeup every day, so I wanted to have as natural a look as possible. Nadia listened to my wishes and made me feel absolutely beautiful. I felt like myself and my hair and makeup lasted all night long--through wind, sweaty dancing, and everything in between. She helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my look between my hair and makeup trial and wedding day, even assisting me with what I should communicate to my regular hair stylist to make sure my hair was ready for the updo I chose. Nadia was on time and flexible--I got ready in an Airstream trailer onsite at my venue and she made it all work beautifully. My mom, MIL, and officiant also all loved having their hair done by her. I would absolutely recommend her if you're looking for an incredible experience on your wedding day!

    Made this 50 year old Bride's Day!

    I'm so glad that Nadia was my Hair and Makeup wizard for my wedding day! I am an older bride at 50 (my second and meant-to-be-all-along marriage!), and was a bit self-conscious about my skin and my thinning hair! I was looking for someone really knew Asian skin and hair, and who could give me a really natural but improved look that would stay put the whole day/evening, and Nadia worked wonders with my sun spotted skin and gave me honest opinions about how we could and could not use hair extensions (I was able to have the twists and the fat bun I wanted after all!), and I actually did look flawless all night! She was such a great resource for products, too - was able to show me that the extensions I purchased on Amazon were fake (! They advertise real human hair but apparently most are fake!) and had me purchase real human hair at a boutique, turned me on to a great lipstick color for me, and directed me to a lip mask that has cured me of my perpetually dry flaking lips! Do the hair/makeup trial - I was on the fence about it because of the extra cost, but it really did help things go smoother on the day of the wedding because we were able to hone in on exactly what I wanted, and Nadia was great about making sure she was really clear on that. She really cares about doing a good job for her clients - you won't regret hiring her!

    Nadia is lovely--I would highly recommend her! She really took the time to understand what I was looking for in terms of hair and makeup and did an amazing job. She is very organized, patient, and provided a lot of helpful guidance and information ahead of and during our session. She really knows her stuff and provides great service!

    Perfection

    Nadia was so great to work with. She really takes the time to understand exactly what you want for your looks and she delivers. She is a perfectionist and takes the time to take a step back and make sure that everything is flawless which was truly appreciated! She is very punctual and made sure that the day ran smoothly with my larger group of bridesmaids. Everyone felt beautiful and we cannot thank her or her assistant enough. =)

    Thank you Mari Marry!

    Thank you Nadia for helping me make my Wedding day so special. Nadia did hair and makeup for my sister, mom, and of course myself. I found Nadia through the Internet and chose to work with her because I loved her style. When I met her in person, she did not disappoint! I loved how I looked like myself, but just the enhanced version. I got compliments on my hair and makeup the entire night. Nadia is extremely professional, goes the extra mile, and most importantly, I can tell that she loves what she does. Thank you Nadia for making my wedding day unforgettable!

    Professional and detail-oriented!

    Nadia was wonderful to work with for my SF City Hall ceremony. She was easy to communicate with and asked me for pictures of hair and makeup that I liked beforehand, and then was patient, professional, and so detail-oriented. I loved my hair and makeup, and she also came with a selection of hairpieces for rent so we could pick out one that matched my look and jewelry. She also offered a touchup kit for later in the day. I'd highly recommend her!

    Amazing Wedding Hairstylist

    I booked Nadia to do my wedding hair and she did a fantastic job! I cannot recommend her services enough. She was very responsive throughout the whole process and had great tips to prep for the big day though I didn't do a trial with her but I didn't feel the need to do a trial. On the day of the wedding, she was punctual and professional while doing not only my hair but 5 other members in my bridal party. Again, she did an amazing job and definitely recommend her services.

    Amazing MUA for my wedding!

    Nadia and Ivy did such an amazing job! Looking through her portfolio, I knew they would be a perfect choice for my wedding. They were so accommodating and time-efficient with my bridal party. There were five of us who needed makeup and hairstyling services; Nadia and Ivy finished styling us beautifully and on time before the wedding ceremony. They even helped me get into my big wedding dress while adding some makeup touch-ups for my first look. They were even ready with the hairspray when it got too windy for photos!

    Nadia was very responsive with our emails whenever we had any questions. She also helped me and my bridal party decide on what styles looked best on us. When we did give her our style preferences, she and Ivy did an amazing job working with our different hair and skin types - course/silky hair, and light/darker skin tones. My husband also loved the work they did for his hairstyle and light makeup.

    If I ever need makeup/hairstyling services again, I’d 100% go back to her! I definitely recommend Nadia and Ivy for any special occasion.

    Nadia is the Best Bridal Makeup and Hair Artist!

    I’m so glad that I found Nadia as my makeup artist!! I had a bad trial experience with a different makeup and hairstylist before who made me look too dramatic and I did not look like myself. I had a hard time looking for a professional who is good with Asian makeup and hair, until I found Nadia! Luckily, Nadia made me feel very comfortable and listened to exactly what I wanted (a natural light and soft wedding look that also looks good in photos).

    My eyes are super sensitive when it comes to applying makeup but she was patient with me and reassured me that I’ll look amazing. She is so detailed, friendly, and professional. And the most important part, I was nervous when I scheduled with other makeup artists during Covid. I didn’t feel comfortable that their tools and products looked kind of dirty and not clean. But Nadia was totally different, her kit was super organized and clean. She sanitized every single tool after it was used. That took me to a surprise, since the other makeup artist did not clean and sanitize before or after use.

    I’m so thankful that she made me look so beautiful! I received so many compliments on my photoshoot thanks to Nadia and her team. I’m so glad that I found her and I definitely recommend!

    Great make up service on my big day!

    Nadia is awesome! She’s on time, she’s professional, friendly and listens to what you want! I enjoyed working with her. She’s so good with her skills and she puts in a lot of effort to plan “the look” - but, she still makes sure that she respects the bride’s preference and weave in what I wanted. She’s the best! And if u want a natural make up that enhances your look… she’s the one who could make it happen!

    Nadia is the best!

    Nadia is super amazing! Nadia and Ivy did our hair and makeup for my wedding and they did an amazing job. In so thankful that Nadia was a part of my day. I really like my makeup more natural and she did just that. She is also super professional and flexible. I ran into an issue where we had to change the times for getting ready and she helped me figure it all out. I loved that she gave me a little package of things I may need to touch up on my makeup.

    Amazing + professional!

    I absolutely loved that Nadia was part of my wedding day. She was professional from the very beginning and always wanted to make sure that everything she did for me was to my liking. She asks of my opinion continuously to make sure that I was up-to-speed, which I really appreciated. She did my makeup and hair, along with 3 of my bridesmaids' makeup and hair, as well. They all loved her as well and felt that she was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. I'd highly recommend everyone to hire Nadia!!

    Great experience

    Nadia was professional, efficient, and considered my feedback during the bridal trial. She was flexible with scheduling punctual, and prepared. She checked in the next day to ask about how my makeup and hair looked and felt during my engagement photos. I look forward to working with her on my wedding day!

    Highly Recommended MUA!!

    Nadia is amazing!! She did my make-up and hair for my wedding photoshoot that I scheduled very last minute and she was very accommodating. I showed her some inspirational photos and she was able to recreate the style very easily that matched my best persona. She was very patient with what I wanted and all my silly concerns. Not only that, she was very attentive to the little details and added beautiful touches when I changed into a different dress during the photoshoot.

    On top of that, I was very impressed my make-up and hair stayed in placed for the entire day! Throughout my experience, Nadia is very professional, talented, and very hygienic with her makeup tools, which was very important to me. She was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend Nadia!! Thank you so much again and so grateful you were my MUA!

    Go for Nadia

    I had a city hall wedding and I did not have time to prepare for it. My friend, Kate, referred Nadia to me as a bridal makeup artist. I borrowed her beautiful hair accessories that also matched my wedding gown. Nadia gave me a lot of suggestions and advice. She is patient and she had no problem answering my Email in a fraction of time. She did my makeup glam and natural that I really like, her makeup products and tools are very clean, and she used different set of brushes for me and my mother, and always wiped her hands during each sessions. I am glad that she was able to do my makeup and hair.

    Amazing & talented make up artist

    Nadia is a phenomenal makeup artist. Her talent is unquestionable & she's easy to work with. Her service is worth your money. She did an amazing job with my hair & make-up (also with my daughter's hair). She made my face look fresh and was able to accentuate my features without making me feel over done. It was also flawless at the end of a long night of dancing!  I never even had to touch anything up, except for the gloss. I loved it and I have great pictures to prove it. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is seeking a professional make up artist for any
    occasion.

    Wonderful!

    Nadia did my hair & makeup for our Chinese wedding and she was so patient throughout the scheduling process because she had to do my mother in law, sister in law, and aunt as well. She made me feel and look beautiful that day! She included a beautiful hairpiece and touched up my makeup before the reception. My hair and makeup lasted all night and she even gave us a mini kit for touch up which was perfect! Thank you for helping with my day!

    Nadia was not only a fantastic makeup artist, listening to my requests and providing guidance, but also helped with how to arrange my dress, making sure I looked good during the photoshoot by giving me signals to address my hair, and jumping in to help out on random things when my bridesmaids weren't around. Thank you for helping me make my day fantastic!

    Really great experience

    I found mari marry from Instagram, her works look amazing. Therefore I contact her and we did a trial for makeup and hair. I feel comfortable to communicate with her, she always listened and understood what I wanted and what I needed. On the wedding day, she did a really good work. She is very professional and detailed, and I would highly recommend. I have very bad skin since the wedding stress, and she used a skincare oil with massage on my face, then my skin look soft and much better. Also she did a great job to cover all my spot!!! She make me so beautiful and I got a lot of compliments for my makeup on the wedding day. I will definitely to use her services for my future event. Thank you Na!!!

    Excellent Service

    I hired Nadia to do my makeup and hair as a bridesmaid’s make up before and I really like it. Later I hired her for my City Hall engagement session too. I was very happy with Nadia’s work and would recommend her services. She was professional, friendly, responsive. Most importantly, she knew what style suit me the best and at the same time being very sensitive to what I want and I need. I was so amazed with how she created a natural look on me and made me beautiful and natural as I don’t usually put make up on my face. Overall really amazing experience and Nadia is just very pleasant to work with! Highly, highly recommend!

    Brides makeup and hair style for ceremony

    Nadia is very responsive for my makeup and hair style for SF city hall ceremony. She arrived 15 mins earlier and set up the equipment quickly to start the process. During each step, she would communicate with me and ask my opinion and feedback. I'm very surprised by her work and my friends all said I look fantastic that day! Really recommend her!

    Limited Hair Styling Abilities (and won't admit it)

    I had a bad experience with Nadia for my hair & makeup trial. She may be a skilled makeup artist, but her hair styling abilities are limited and she is not the kind of vendor who will admit it. Prior to my trial, I sent Nadia photos and descriptions of my hair as well as the style I wanted, which was just a high french braid.
    Nadia was not able to create a french braid. The top of it just looked weird and messy, and she isn't aware of how to fluff a braid to make it look more voluminous and extend the length. I tried to be really respectful and I asked her if we needed to get extensions, or if my hair just couldn't handle the style, but she insisted that my trial photo looked like the inspiration picture (take a look for yourself in the attached photos to see!). I don't appreciate being gaslighted, or paying for a style that's not done correctly, so I did not hire Nadia for my wedding. I hired a more experienced stylist who did an amazing job with the exact same hair - no extensions.
    Hair trials are so expensive, it really sucks to have a failed trial with a stylist who refuses to acknowledge that your request is beyond her abilities. I even appreciate Nadia trying, but once she clearly could not succeed, she should have at least offered a discount or something. All around a bad experience.

    Mari Marry Makeup artist & Hairstylist's reply:

    Dear Stephanie,

    We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on your recent hair and makeup trial experience with us. We extend our sincere apologies for falling short of your expectations during the trial.

    We take our clients' concerns seriously, and we want to address the points you've raised. During the trial, we were taken aback to learn that you had encountered dissatisfaction with 5 previous makeup and hair stylists prior to experiencing our services. Upon reviewing the trial video, we noticed that you expressed satisfaction and agreement with the hair as we meticulously discussed and crafted each section. It's perplexing and regrettable that this sentiment did not align with your overall experience.

    At the onset of our services, we thoroughly discuss each client's inspiration pictures, specifically highlighting the aspects they admire and the desired modifications. In your case, we understood your desire for added volume in the crown area while maintaining the essence of the braid concept. We take pride in our ability to combine different elements to create unique and personalized looks, and we carefully explained that this approach might result in a departure from the exact inspiration image.

    Throughout the trial, we engaged in continuous consultation, ensuring that you were informed and comfortable with every step. We are disheartened that our communication failed to convey our intentions effectively. Subsequent to the trial, your concerns were promptly addressed via email, where we provided comprehensive details about the adjustments made to your hairstyle, aiming to provide clarity and transparency.

    When our clients ask about hair or lash extensions, we do not encourage add-on services that will cost more for the clients unless we truly think it is necessary. Based on our experience, we did not recommend for you to add on hair extensions.

    While we are delighted that you discovered a hairstylist for your wedding whom you resonate with, we regret that we cannot extend discounts or refunds for trial sessions. Our discount policies are primarily structured around bridal packages rather than individual trial sessions.

    We meticulously reviewed the photos you shared, comparing them to our work, and acknowledge that our interpretation did not align with your envisioned outcome. We genuinely apologize for any miscommunication that may have contributed to this divergence.

    Your patience and understanding during this process are truly appreciated. We extend our best wishes for your special day and beyond.

    Warm regards,
    Nadia from Mari Marry
