Highly Recommended. A true PRO!! :)

Jira is the best! I loved her as my makeup artist for my wedding. She was attentive, fun, and great at her craft. The whole experience was enjoyable. I had gotten the makeup test done at her salon a few weeks before the wedding, and knew right away she was a PRO. She took some before and after pictures, and I'm not sure if I ever looked that good. Lol. On the day of, she and her team arrived early and the whole experience was seamless. Even my bridesmaids raved about her and her team and they can be a picky bunch. Highly recommended!

Amazing service, unbeatable price

Amazing service! Was able to get bride, 7 bridesmaids, officiant (SIL), and 2 moms HMU done with 3 stylists in 5hrs. Even offered a discount for the large group. The stylists were all so friendly and we looked amazing!! And the price was unbeatable compared to other bay area companies. Would highly recommend to any bay area bride! My bridesmaids are still raving about how good their HMU looked at the end of the night :)

Wow pretty!

Jira did my hair & make-up for my pre-wedding photos & on my wedding day. I have short hair and was so happy that she was able to be creative with the hair accessories creating a tiara effect with the pearl silver vine wrapped in my hair. The make-up for both days were beautifully done!
I was so anxious leading up to my day & Jira made me feel so comfortable. I completely turned myself over to her. She did not disappointment!
Highly recommend Jira for your wedding and all of your special occasions!

I was glowing!

I reached out to Jira's team for myself and my mom for my wedding in Santa Cruz. She matched me with one of her stylists, Anna, who came onsite.

Prior to the wedding, I also did a trial in their Burlingame location and Jira totally nailed the hair and makeup look I wanted! It was incredible!

Back to the wedding - Anna arrived on time at 9am. She started with my mom who was indecisive about what she wanted - Anna quickly was able to narrow it down and produced a beautiful updo with natural makeup - my mom was so pleased.

Then came my turn - we had great conversations during the whole process! She was so easy to work with and although it "felt" like a lot of makeup (I never do foundation etc personally) it came out looking so natural, clean and pretty, and also didn't feel heavy at all. Airbrush makeup is wonderful. I was legitimately GLOWING on my big day and every picture came out perfectly.

I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful team. Booking was easy and scheduling the trial was extremely flexible. If you want to look your absolute best self (wedding or any other event) you have to choose Wowpretty!

Would highly recommend!

Jira did my hair and makeup for my wedding this year, and I highly recommend her! She is amazing at Asian makeup and also very attentive to personal preferences. For instance, I was worried about my bangs blowing in the wind, and she helped style and spray them so it wasn't a problem. I had a lot of dance performances during my wedding, and the hair stayed up all night! My makeup also lasted through the day and night really well. On top of all that, Jira is extremely responsive and on top of her email, which makes coordinating logistics very smooth. I'm really happy with my wedding hair and makeup. Thank you so much Jira! :)

Wonderful!

Jira is very friendly and professional! She was super prompt with emails, appointments, and was on time (if not early) for the big day! She did such a fantastic job with my hair and makeup and I can't thank her enough!! She and Anna worked with my bridesmaids and they all looked amazing also! We all got many, many compliments. Wowpretty was also able to schedule me with limited notice after I had a negative experience with a previous stylist. I recommend them to everyone! Thank you!!

The best beauty skill

This review is so overdue. My wedding was 5 years ago now I have 2 kids boy and girl. We found wowpretty.com from the projectwedding.com Love this company specially Jira. She is very professional, passional and good kills the beauty. She was my makeup artist on my wedding day. Sooyeon and Nancy were there at my wedding too. They took care of my wedding party.

What can I say!? Everyone loves Wowpretty Makeup & Hair and they are AMAZING! Our wedding planner (A Monique Affair) put us in touch with Wowpretty because they have won all of these amazing awards over the years and really know how to pamper you for your wedding. My fiance and I wanted to make sure that our moms had a great hair and makeup artist, as they were coming in from out of town and wouldn't have their usual stylists available. Ask for Anna - she's amazing! She arrived at our house 10 minutes early and got all setup to take care of our family without any issue. Our moms got so many compliments throughout the wedding and reception, and being able to have your hair and makeup done at home without having to make it down to the studio is just a treat. Oh, and Wowpretty has a few Mandarin speaking artists on staff if your parents are more comfortable - just ask! They were very responsive by both email and phone. Oh, and they do book up fast so I'd call at least a month in advance.

Chose Wowpretty, the most reason is closest to my venue and heard from our venues recommendation. We ended up getting makeup and hair done at Jira Couture Salon in burlingame ( their new salon location) along with my 5 bridesmaids, 2 mothers makeup and hair. Everyone looked so fab, flawless skin thanks for the airbrush, hair stay all night (even so much wind on the day). I love my 1st hair style and makeup but I love even more my evening look. we love everything about this company, clean blushes (salon), reasonable price, good customer services, respond my email fast.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
