“I had a wonderful experience with Ai. Her work is truly amazing - she has such impeccable attention to detail and a keen eye for capturing your vision without veering towards overdone or costume makeup. I felt so natural and gorgeous at my wedding”

“I just wanted to send a very heartfelt thank you to you and your team. My hair and makeup was so beautiful!!!!  Everyone kept on complimenting me all night!! And my bridesmaid loved their hair and makeup too. Our day was so perfect and I know it would not have been everything it was without you! (I will write a review on yelp as soon as we return from our honeymoon) Thank you so much again Ai!!!!”

“I never wear makeup, and am so glad I chose Ai to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. During the trial, she was sweet, patient, and meticulous, taking notes and photos to keep track of each look. After I booked her, communication was easy via email and Ai or her assistant would respond relatively quickly to any questions I had.

On the wedding day, Ai did a nice and simple (but very relaxing) facial massage for me before starting the makeup, and it was very calming! Everyone complimented me on how I looked, and I felt so comfortable. Before the wedding, my husband had worried that I would look very different than how he was used to seeing me, but on the wedding day he said I still looked like myself and looked beautiful.

The makeup lasted all day, and looked really nice in photos. My updo stayed up and in place all day, and I was so happy with it (I have long, thick Asian hair that is not the easiest to work with). Overall, I’d highly recommend Ai!”

“I’m so happy that I found Ai to do my wedding hair and makeup.

I know nothing about makeup and was afraid to try different things because I was worried that I wouldn’t look like “me”. But Ai was so patient and helpful at my trial, she tried and suggested different makeup colors and hairstyles.

I remember there was one point where she did my eyes based on the picture I brought with me; it was very natural and light. But I thought it looked too “plain” on me.

Then she spun me away from the mirror, did her magic thing to my eyes and spun me back to see my reflection. I remember saying “OMG! I love it!” She gave my eyes such beautiful definition!

I knew right there that I had to have her for my wedding day. It had the right amount of color to be defining but was still natural and elegant. She was such a delight to have help me get ready on my wedding day and engagement shoot.

She even helped me with my haircut so that it was at the perfect length I wanted for my up do. I received many many compliments about how beautiful I looked! THANK YOU Ai!”

“It was great working with Ai for my wedding day hair and makeup. She was my first choice for a hair/makeup artist and I’m so glad she was available for my wedding day.

Ai did a wonderful job with my hair and makeup – I felt very glamorous but still like me. And my hair stayed up and my makeup stayed on through an outdoor ceremony and lots of dancing after!

If I ever need special occasion hair or makeup again in the NY area, I will ask for Ai!”

“I’m back from my honeymoon! I wanted to take this time to THANK YOU for a wonderful work you did for me and my bridesmaids. Everyone loved their makeup and hair!

It was a pleasure to work with you and I definitely will make an appointment to get my hair done at your salon. My haircut is also great! People love it as well! Thanks again!”

“Ai did an amazing job. During the trial run, she was incredibly patient and helped me try multiple looks with both my hair and makeup. On the wedding day, I was so pleased with the result! I normally don’t wear any makeup, so I was nervous about looking appropriately glammed up but still looking like myself. Ai definitely achieved the perfect look for me. I felt beautiful all night! 🙂”

“It was great having Ai take care of the hair & makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I requested to see her portfolio which definitely made me secure about her skills. On the wedding day, we started early-6am! and Ai was there right on time. I was extremely happy with her work and her personality certainly made a stressful day much more fun and relaxing.”

— Suzanne


“Ai was wonderful. I don’t usually wear make up or have my hair professionally styled and Ai made the experience relaxing and comfortable. I felt beautiful and not ‘overdone’. Ai was able to create just the look I wanted. My now husband was having a bad hair day and she fixed him up in the lobby of the hotel at the last minute – he was very grateful. I would definitely have Ai do my hair and makeup again. Thanks Ai!”

— Emily


“I would recommend Ai to all my friends and family. She is extremely talented, and I felt like my most beautiful self on the day of my wedding. The makeup and hair lasted all day long and I received lots of compliments. Ai is also very friendly and wonderful to talk to. I would love to work with her again.”

“Ai and her team did an amazing job. I felt like Ai really listened to what we wanted and was so accommodating. She’s really sweet and easy to talk to, which makes the time just fly! I didn’t know I could look like that. Very happy!”

“Ai did an amazing job at my wedding! She made me feel beautiful while still giving me a natural look. I don’t wear very much makeup on a daily basis so I wanted the makeup on my wedding day to still look like me. Ai did two different looks for makeup and hair during the trial. She was a good listener and spent a lot of time making sure everything was perfect, even during the trial. On my wedding day, her and her assistant were on time, came prepared with the pictures from the trial and exceeded my expectations. I got so many compliments from my friends and family on how nice I looked. I highly recommend Ai for wedding hair and makeup.”

“Ai did an excellent job doing my hair and makeup for my wedding day. Prior to the wedding, I had a trial with her and another makeup artist, and it was an easy choice to pick Ai in the end. Ai spent so much time with me during the trial, trying the two different hairstyles (hair down and then hair up) and two makeup looks (more natural and a little more dramatic) that I asked for. She was sweet, patient, and meticulous, taking notes and photos to keep track of each look. After I booked her, communication was easy via email and Ai or her assistant would respond relatively quickly to any questions I had.

 On the wedding day, Ai even did a facial massage for me before starting the makeup, and it was very relaxing and helped to calm me down! Everyone complimented me on how I looked, and I felt so comfortable even though I don’t normally wear makeup at all. Before the wedding, my husband had worried that I would look very different than how he was used to seeing me, but on the wedding day he said I still looked like myself and looked beautiful. My updo stayed up and in place all day, and I was so happy with it. My bridesmaid, who also doesn’t wear makeup ever, ended up being really happy with her look, and she said that it didn’t feel like she had a lot of stuff on her face.

 Even though Ai’s services were a little out of my budget, I decided to splurge, and it was well worth it. I’d recommend Ai to anyone looking for hair and makeup services, and especially to people who are not used to wearing makeup!”

“Ai and her assistant were wonderful to work with. She is really talented and knows what she is doing. I got a package for bride + 2 others and also selected makeup service for my 7 bridesmaids. I woke up late and we were running 15-30 minutes late, but Ai did a great job without compromising the quality of her work. She knows how to create natural and bold looks. All the bridesmaids were happy with her work as well.”

“Ai and her team did an exceptional job, starting with my first hair trial through the last minute before the ceremony. She is very talented, creative, and detail-oriented. She never rushed her work – she made sure my hair and the bridesmaids’ hair was picture-perfect and our make-up flawless. She took each individuals unique bone structure, skin coloring, and tastes into account to create a look that fit each of us. She was prompt to arrive at our hotel the morning of the wedding and stuck to the schedule we decided on prior to the day. Great value for the work she delivers. Since the wedding, I’ve started to go to Ai for my regular hair appointments. She is a very talented artist and I highly recommend her.”
