Minjee K. Sent on 04/25/202410/10 Make up artist!!!!
I hired Tina for my destination wedding in Florida. I cannot recommend Tina enough!!! Her talent is undeniable (otherwise, I would NOT have flown her all the way out for our wedding). She has done my make up three times now and each time she impresses me more and more. As an Asian American women, I have never liked western make up on me - it did not suit my face & I thought that was just what I was stuck with! However, I came across Tina and I finally felt seen and beautiful. I could sense her expertise right away by the way she assessed my face and knew instantly the color palette that suit me. What sets Tina apart is her ability to skillfully blend k-beauty and western beauty standards to create a look that's uniquely suited to you - I have yet to find another artist who isn't just one or the other. She also shared a wealth of knowledge for me to "take home," so I was able to improve my every day make up routine - her services don't just end on the chair, you take it home with you for many years to come!
Additionally, my bridesmaids and mother in law all LOVED their make up and hair on wedding day. They are all different ethnicities with different facial structures and skin. All of them have also started to change their every day make up routine to replicate Tina's work.
Through Tina's artistry, I've come to realize that makeup isn't just about enhancing one's appearance... It's a powerful tool that can impact the way that you feel, your interactions with others, and ultimately the entire day. Thank you Tina and Linda for playing an integral role in making my day so special!!!! 🤍

Susan P. Sent on 01/09/2024Your dream wedding makeup and hair will come true
I am absolutely pleased with Tina and Linda on the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, my mothers, and for myself as the bride. I felt beautiful and confident on my day. My mothers and besties were all glamorous. Tina and Linda are personable and professional. They explained to me what they were doing, listened to my requests and comments, and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. Also, I am glad that I did the makeup and hair trial with them. All of us prepared for how it would be like on the wedding day. For me, how I wanted to look like. For them, how to obtain my desirable look without any loss of time on the day of. The wedding makeup trial definitely put all of us at ease and expectations met. On my wedding day, they arrived promptly and understood that I had to leave them at my suite as they continued their work on my mothers. Future brides who choose Shine, Tina, you will look gorgeous on your special day. -

Charissa A. Sent on 02/15/2024The best team for a custom bridal look
Tina and Linda were both absolutely wonderful for hair and makeup at my November wedding! I was looking for artists who could truly create a customized look for myself and my bridesmaids, and this team went above and beyond. I love how passionate Tina is about makeup — she'll chat with you about colors and undertones, facial structure, different makeup products or styles, and generally gets so excited for you to learn what works best for you.
The day of, Tina and Linda both asked each bridesmaid what they were comfortable with and what they were looking for — all of my bridesmaids who had their hair and makeup done separately commented to me that they loved their hair and makeup. The team was working on quite a short timeline, but was so calm and collected that what could have been a stressful morning ended up being a bit more relaxed and definitely fun. We were especially impressed that the hairstyles lasted the whole wedding day through dancing and everything!
If I could make a recommendation to anyone thinking about Shine, Tina! studio for their wedding, it would be to definitely do the hair/makeup trial in advance. It's objectively a little pricey, but so worth it. During the trial Tina and Linda discussed what styles I would want, tried out different products, and took into consideration any likes/dislikes and even skin sensitivities that I have. I was surprised at just how many details they remembered the day of!
Lastly, I would say my favorite thing about working with this team is that they will offer their professional recommendations if you need, but they're also so dedicated to creating a look that you love. When I brought up questions about things that I wasn't sure would work well, they would show me different options and explain their reasoning but leave the decision totally up to me. There was no pressure to go with anything other than what I liked the most. If I ever need hair and makeup done for anything, I would one hundred percent come back to this team! -

Tina and her team were absolutely amazing on my wedding day (and the trial!). Tina just knew exactly what I meant when I explained the type of hair style and make up I wanted - even when I probably wasn’t even explaining it very well!! She also completely nailed my mom’s make up too. She was so fun to have around getting ready too - would recommend to every bride!! -

Tina and her team's work is an absolute dream! Every Asian-American bride has a horror story from their childhood about a makeup look gone wrong (mine was prom), and I first found Tina via social media after looking for a hair/makeup artist who specializes in Asian features. Tina and her team went above and beyond in their delivery, not only with my bridal hair and makeup but that of the entire bridal party, the rest of whom are not of Asian descent. They were so engaging to work with and also incredibly flexible - when one of my bridesmaids dropped out due to a conflict, I was able to convert what we would have spent on her hair/makeup into bridal assistance service where Tina and her team touched up my hair/makeup even after first look photos so I looked my best for the ceremony. Our family members and friends could not stop talking about how great their work was on myself, the bridesmaids, and the mothers of the bride/groom and I can't recommend Tina and her team enough! -

Connie Sent on 11/30/2023THE BEST hair & makeup artist!
I first connected with Tina and her phenomenal team as a bridesmaid in a DC wedding – their artistry left a lasting impression. Fast forward to our engagement photoshoot, and choosing Tina for our hair and makeup was a no-brainer. The bride and groom package was beyond words, and I found myself regretting not having Tina with us for our destination wedding in Italy.
Communicating with Tina's studio was a dream – clear, efficient, and accommodating. Every instruction was not only heard but flawlessly executed. The makeup was so stunning that I didn't want to part with it, even as we headed out for a celebratory dinner post-photoshoot. Tina, you're not just a makeup artist; you're a memory maker. Thank you for making every moment special and ensuring the magic lasted long after the photoshoot. 💄💖 -

HIGHLY recommend
Tina and her team are incredible, and I recommend her and her team with full confidence. Because of availability, we had Lyndsey perform our hair & makeup day of, and she was just the absolute best! I only have good things to say about Tina and Lyndsey, but here are some specifics of why I recommend them so highly:
- Incredible eye. Their color matching and ability to flatter features is unmatched. I was blown away! They treat makeup and hair as a true art, and it shows in the quality of their work.
- Very open to feedback. Everyone has preferences, and they were open to feedback and incorporated it so well, without any judgement. This is huge and I appreciated this so much. They are just lovely people inside and out, and want you to feel your best the day of, which was wonderful.
- Flexible and very good communicators. I was able to schedule and adjust as needed very quickly and easily.
Lyndsey was absolutely incredible with everything. That said, I had a wonderful experience with the trial (Tina and Lyndsey were both present) which I think helped hone my preferences so I highly recommend that. I also scheduled a brow session as well (Tina is a brow queen) a couple days before my wedding and loved it all!
10/10, highly recommend! -

Xeniya B. Sent on 11/29/202310/10 would recommend Shine, Tina!
I had the most magical experience working with “Shine, Tina!” (Tina and Linda). They went above and beyond to make my wedding day perfect, not only for me but for my entire bridal party. From the first phone call, I knew I was in the right hands with Tina. Her years of experience in the industry and vast knowledge of event planning were evident as she guided me through the process. She sent me a questionnaire, asked for my vision, and even reviewed inspiration photos to get a clear understanding of my desired look.
The trial with Tina and Linda only confirmed I made the right choice. It was clear they were true artists, knowing exactly where and what to apply to create a look that was both symmetrical and stunning. They even managed to transform my fine hair into a beautiful hairstyle . Throughout the process, they provided invaluable advice for my big day, and I quickly felt comfortable with them, as though we were friends.
On the wedding day, Tina and Linda arrived not just on time but professionally early. In just 10 minutes they transformed the entire suite into a studio with dedicated makeup and hair stations. Tina's claim of being a one-stop shop was no joke; she brought absolutely everything needed to set up the stations efficiently and maximize the available space.
Everyone on the wedding party was in love with their makeup and hair, and mentioned many times about their experience with Tina and Linda and how much they loved it. Despite the scorching 98F temperature during the ceremony, my makeup and hair did not budge and stayed put the entire night.
I cannot thank Tina and Linda enough for their expertise and professionalism. They made me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I would highly recommend them to any bride looking for the best in the business. They are truly the best at what they do, and you will not regret working with them. -

expensive but worth it
I got my wedding hair and makeup done at Shine, Tina this year. I wanted someone who could do more Korean-style makeup. Lynsey did an amazing job making me feel beautiful. I also booked my mom's hair+makeup and three bridesmaids' makeup. I would recommend booking your service with the Shine, Tina team. -

Rachel L. Sent on 12/02/2023Best choice for my big day
I used Shine, Tina's service for my wedding and it was one of the best choices I made! Booking process and communication was great. Tina was very timely and clear with her email responses, which I value so much in wedding planning. I think it was also helpful to do trial consultation prior to the wedding. It was a good chance for me to clearly communicate what I wanted for my hair and makeup as well as the makeup artists to get to know my skin complexion and hair style before the big day. On the wedding day, my mom, mother in law, a bridesmaid, I got hair and makeup. All of us really loved and appreciated the services we received. I would say that the makeup and hair stayed intact throughout the entire wedding ~ about 8 hours. While the price of the service is somewhat on the higher end, I'd still recommend Tina and Tina's team for the big day!! -

Hanna L. Sent on 10/19/2022The best!!
Tina and her team were amazing from my first email interaction through the wedding day! She was extremely responsive and helpful over email and sent a detailed schedule ahead of time. The team showed up promptly and had hair and makeup done for me, 4 bridesmaids, my mom and sister all on time. I got to know them a bit during my trial session, and they were very fun and friendly and also collaborative and open to feedback on the look they were creating. I was very pleased with the final results on the wedding day and felt beautiful! One bridesmaid commented on how impressed she was that she simply showed a photo of the hairstyle that she wanted and the artist was able to recreate it perfectly on the spot. My sister hasn’t gotten professional makeup done before and was nervous, but she said she loved how it turned out. My mom was also very impressed. I highly highly recommend booking Tina and her team!!

The Dream Team
Tina and her team were a dream. The right vendors really make the biggest difference. They were willing to work with me and all my indecisiveness (sorry Tina and Linda for being so annoying).
My single non-negotiable for the wedding was having a hair and make-up artist that has shown excellence working with Asian faces. I wanted to make sure we had someone that understood my bone structure, skin undertone, and hair texture. These ladies are THE PROS! And the best part is that even for my non-Asian bridesmaids, they delivered the most GORGEOUS outcomes. You can trust that Tina and her team will deliver!! My bridesmaids, my mom, MIL, aunt, and I were all so pleased with how everything turned out. And my hair and make up DID NOT BUDGE. I was bad and fell asleep with my make up on, and I woke up looking like I just had my make up done!
And some other details - Tina is so responsive. She was willing to work different timeline scenarios with me and help me settle on the team and timeline that would best achieve a smooth wedding day.
This is your dream team! I promise! -

Worth the investment!
Though pricing is higher than most vendors, we were very glad to have hired Tina and her team! Tina and Linda made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I especially felt like a princess, and neither my makeup nor hair budged at all the entire day (almost 12 hours)! With this being said, I am extremely thankful I invested in a hair and makeup trial beforehand.
Tina is incredibly skilled with her makeup work. With quick, analytic eyes, she is able to personalize all parts of the makeup to suit your face in real time, with little trial and error. Although I was happy overall with the trial, there were some components that I personally wanted to tweak for the wedding day. To my pleasant surprise, Tina was on the same page as me with my requests, and she even made some other helpful suggestions as well. She truly is an expert and really cares about her clients.
Linda styled my hair into an effortless updo that was both romantic and clean, just as I had requested. Though we had to try a few different styles at my trial to find the right fit, I was extremely pleased with my hair on the wedding day. Linda is a perfectionist in the best possible way. There wasn’t a single hair out of place, and she took so much care in ensuring that I would look pristine walking down the aisle.
We also chose to do the makeup and hair touch ups for my husband. Though only a short time was blocked for each of his services, Tina and Linda still took care in making him look extra handsome and camera ready!
Overall, we are very thankful to have worked with Tina and Linda, as they are true experts in their fields and work with their clients to ensure their happiness. -
