Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a hair & beauty partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

It was a pleasure to work with Yin and her lovely team for my wedding day!! Not only did she recreate my inspiration photos to a tee, her calming and bright presence made getting ready such a joy! Her makeup skills truly shined in her ability to create gorgeous looks across the varied skin tones, undertones, and features of my bridal party (think Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Shade 1 to 8.25). The waterproof airbrushing lasted all day, didn’t settle into any fine lines, and was so light that my MOB and MOG (who rarely wear makeup) thought it was just moisturizer! Her time-management and organizational skills are unmatched. Yin + 2 assistants completed hair and makeup for 5 bridesmaids, MOB...

Yin and her team did a great job on both hair and makeup services on my summer wedding day. Her makeup and hair application stayed the entire summer day and I received compliments from so many people in my wedding party that her makeup application was some of the best they've ever had since it lasted and looked beautiful while also very natural. My hair style also stayed and the curls held into the evening even after it rained after the reception. She came recommended to me from my cousin after she did her wedding and she is now also going to the HMU artist for my other cousins' wedding later in the fall of this year so her quality of work definitely speaks for itself. She has so much exper...

Yin is an amazing artist and completely understands the assignment at hand. She did my makeup and hair for a photo shoot during a heatwave last year and ensured that both the makeup and hair stayed perfectly in place despite the heat and humidity. I completely trusted her expertise and felt calm knowing I had the best makeup artist ever!! She would recommend alterations on my inspiration styles to best suit my features and I am thrilled with the outcome. Fast forward to most recently when she styled our moms, and bridesmaids. Across many different styles and asks, Yin delivered looks that stood up in every lighting and environment we had that day (dark indoors with flash photography, dimly-l...

Yin was superb. Throughout the process, she’s very responsive. She did both my engagement photoshoot (in Feb 2022) and for the wedding (July 2022 - hot) (of course we did 2 trial runs due to COVID delays). We have a total of 24 services for 5 flower girls and 8 adults. Yin created a schedule to allow all of us to be ready but not have to wait too long (she came with 2 other make-up stylists). My bridal party had a mix of white (Irish), Indian, Thai, Chinese and of course a lot of mixed race flower girls - Yin and her team simply made us look “naturally” beautiful. She stayed with me all day and into the evening to provide touch up services during the photoshoot post ceremony, prior to ...

AWESOME! I had much worries previously, as my hair is very dark and not easy to hold up curls, and I am afraid that it will not have any texture. Yin did an amazing job on giving me a perfect natural and lovely city hall wedding look, which lasts for the whole afternoon and night. It was a great experience working with her, and I would definitely work with her again on the big wedding day!
