I found Jira after I did a failed makeup and hair trial in a fancy place on Union Square in San Francisco. They are quite expensive. They asked me to take photos that I like to them. And they basically just copied it onto my face. I looked like a Japanese geisha. I think they knew it, but they said,"you look good!let's do it for your wedding day!"
I was quite angry. Then I did a trial with Jira. First thing, she has a big scrapbook of hair and makeup photos and you can look at these and discuss with her. I was more than happy with my trial. So I also did my engagement photo makeup and hair with her before my wedding. She chose a hair color for me, which I usually don't pay a look. I was a bit hesitated but it turned out to be a very elegant color for my hair. On my wedding day, she made things even better. My heavy updo stayed up a whole day and my makeup didn't fall off a bit. I did look the best ever in my life. All the wedding photos turned out to be wonderful and all my bridesmaids also look the prettiest ever since I knew them. And Jira only met them on the morning of the wedding day.
I highly recommend Jira to everyone, but particularly Asian face brides. I think she has a very good sense of beauty and fashion on Asian looks, which is the No.1 important thing. Her English, honestly, is not very good. But let's say she has no problem understanding me; and when it's in person, it's not too hard to communicate with her. I suggest just making everything clear when you see her. Her price is very reasonable. She is very professional and efficient when she is working. And she is very cheery, easygoing. So the problem of her English is really minor.
