Reviews for Kelly Zhang Make up artists and Hair Stylists Team
I went to Kelly to do my hair and makeup for our engagment photo shoot. She was wonderful to work with! Kelly is very easy to talk to - she listens carefully in what look you're going for and then does her work. And she's very professional. Not mention she is really talented at what she does. And my hair and makeup came out wondeful!! I wanted the smokey eyes w/ romantic hair and that's exactly what she gave me! (picture in bio) Thank you Kelly~!
When I was researching makeup artists for our wedding, I already knew that I would like Kelly's style just from her portfolio & website. When I finally had my trial with her, I was just blown away - I was 100% sure that I had to have her be a part of our day & booked her on the spot. By far, one of the easiest vendor decisions during our wedding planning!
I can honestly say I LOVE Kelly!! She was one of the best vendors we had. She's super sweet & nice, professional, efficient, and just plain AWESOME at what she does! [I always felt she was more like a surrogate big sister - doing her little sister's hair & makeup - rather than another wedding vendor]. She has a good eye and knows how to make a girl feel & look absolutely GORGEOUS!
Kelly and her girls [Jessica & Marie] did a WONDERFUL job on the big day. They showed up on time, kept us calm & collected, and even did some light touch-ups for my FI. In the end, I thought my girls and I looked BEAUTIFUL! Exactly how I pictured everyone to be & more!
I would definitely recommend KZ and her team to anyone looking for an A+++ makeup/hair artist! She rocks!!
Kelly did my bridesmaids makeup and everyone was so happy about how they turned out. She and her assistant arrived on time (7:00 AM!), was easy going, chatty, professional, and fun to work with. She took her time and spent about an hour and a half on each girl so they felt really pampered and special.
I don't know how she did it but despite the 90 degree heat my BMs' makeup lasted the entire day from 8:00 am till midnight. They looked girly & lovely, but still like themselves. Everyone was also very happy with their hair, which was quite a challenge since they each had their own hairstyle.
I made a last minute change but Kelly was so understanding and accomodating. I really appreciated her flexibility and felt like she acted more like a friend than a vendor. I highly recommend her and think she is sooo worth the money!
I truly enjoyed working with Kelly! She was extremely friendly and was always willing to listen to my suggestions and concerns. I also appreciated the fact that she was very honest with her feedback and helped me to choose the colors and styles that would best conceal my flaws while playing up my strengths.
When I was searching for makeup artists, I paid particular attention to ones that specialized in Asian makeup. I did two trials with Kelly (one more smoky eye, and the other slightly more natural), and both turned out amazing! She definitely made my eyes stand out and achieved the "fresh yet glam" look I was going for.
The day of my wedding, Kelly and her assistant did a great job with me and my bridesmaids, and I'd say the only thing I would change would be to have had more hair product applied on our updo's so the stray strands on the bottom could've stayed up longer. Other than that, I think everything was wonderful and I would definitely work with her again in a heartbeat!
Kelly was referral by one of my friend. She told me that Kelly was one of best vendor on the wedding day. I booked her right after my trial with her. She is very sweet and knows exactly how I want it.
She showed up at 6AM (on time )at my hotel to get me and my girls ready. Kelly and her team is very professional. She worked on me and 2 of my bridesmaid, Also she make sure we had plenty of time so that the morning was as relaxing as possible. My make-up lasted all day and night and I loved the eyelashes!
I will highly recommend her to anyone who is getting marry!
I cannot thank Kelly enough for everything she did on my wedding day. She arrived at the hotel on time, and she was very efficient, professional, and calm. I still cannot believe she did hair and makeup for me, 3 bridesmaids, and my mom all by herself in less than 5 hours. She was especially patient with my mom, who is usually very picky but she absolutely LOVED Kelly. Kelly is very talented and I would definitely love to work with her again. Thank you, Kelly!
It was such a pleasure to work with Kelly! Many of my friends booked their wedding with her team also! I was really last minutes bride, but kelly is very is fixable and give me so many suggestions for my wedding day look! It turned out perfectly!!
There is no question that Kelly and her girls are amazing at what they do! All of my BMs, my mom and my MIL all looked gorgeous. We're all Asian except I had one white BM and everybody looked great individually as well as collectively.
Kelly and her girls are also very professional and they do a brilliant job. I really appreciated that rates are posted online... no game playing and no wondering whether or not you're being charged on the same scale as everyone else. I'm so glad I chose them.
My only concern was that when my girls and I arrived at my venue, there were some pins that didn't hold very well and we had to push them back in throughout the day. Maybe it's the styles we chose? Maybe it's the texture of our hair? Not sure, but it wasn't a huge deal. I'd totally recommend Kelly and use her again for any of my future beauty needs.
Kelly and her team are absolutely amazing. They did a fantastic job on my hair and makeup for my wedding, and an equally great job on my bridesmaids, mother of bride & mother of the groom. Makeup and hair lasted all night as promised. Absolutely could not be happier with their work. I would definitely recommend Kelly, Karen and the whole team to anyone getting married!!! :)
Hiring Kelly and her team was one of the BEST investments I have made for my wedding. I got so many compliments on my makeup and hair on my wedding day. Kelly is incredibly prompt, efficient, and professional. She offers great advice and tips to whatever the concern may be. Her prices are reasonable as well. I can't thank Kelly and her team enough for helping me and my bridesmaids look so beautiful! I definitely recommend Kelly and her team to anyone who wants to look gorgeous!
Kelly and her team are great! She did my makeup for two engagement sessions, one trial, and the "big day!" Her specialty is asian brides (she studied with a makeup artist in china for a while), but she does amazing work on anybody! She's also easy to get along with and is really prompt and efficient at getting back to emails. There are a lot of really expensive, overpriced wedding makeup artists in southern california that totally aren't worth it. Kelly is much cheaper and does a fantastic job. I got tons of compliments on both my hair and makeup. She makes you look glamorous, without looking cheap or TOO made up. My friend (maid of honor) hired her for her wedding in which I was a bridesmaid and both times we loved the result.
Kelly is wonderful. I went in for my hair and makeup trial about a month ago and I loved what she did with my hair and makeup. She then changed up my hair a bit for my engagement shoot later that day. Everything looked so natural and soft but also formal. I am excited that she'll be doing my hair and makeup at the wedding!
Kelly is great!!! She make my bridesmaid and me looks so beautiful. It seens she knows everything we want, she did a perfect job on our makeup and hair. Thanks a lot, Kelly!!!
I had a hair and makeup trial with Kelly and she was right on with exactly what I wanted. She did a great job and I can't wait for her to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day.
Kelly did hair and makeup for myself, my 3 bridesmaids, and my mom. She did a phenomenal job with all of us. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Thanks Kelly!
Kelly and Karen were great! My bridesmaids looked beautiful. Her prices are great and they are very skilled/professional. I definitely recommend KellyZhang.com to any brides!
We used Kelly's team earlier this month for our wedding and could not be more pleased with their work. Karen and Mieko did the makeup and hair, and it turned out beautifully. All of our makeup and hair stayed put the entire day, and everyone commented on how beautiful all of us looked. When we were looking for makeup/hair artists we really wanted someone who knew how to work with asian features and keep the makeup natural. This is exactly what we got with Kelly's team. Check out Kelly's website for some amazing before/afters, and you'll see exactly what I mean. Kelly's prices are also extremely reasonable. Thanks to the Kelly Zhang team for making us feel and look fabulous on the big day.
Kelly and her team are so amazing! She did my trial, engagement session, and the wedding day. She is very talented at what she does and so pleasant to work with. Finding her as my makeup artist was the best investment I made for my wedding. My bridesmaids and I all loved our hair and makeup on my wedding day. I can't thank her enough for making my day so memorable. I have already started recommending her to my friends awaiting to be married!
I was looking for a vendor who understands Asian skin and I found Kelly in one of the wedding websites. I did a trial make up service for her and it went well. I didn't know what I wanted but she was able to give me some options. During the wedding day, Kelly and her assistant was there right on time. They were efficient and very professional. I and my wedding party looked great from 4 pm all the way to 11 pm that day!
I had to sign Kelly as soon as I had my trial done. She is amazing at her craft! I looked liked myself but better!
Kelly did my engagement ceremony hair and make up and everything stayed put from 8am to 10pm that night! Kelly and her team also did the hair and make up for me, my 3 bridesmaids and my mom on the wedding day. I had a Chinese morning ceremony that started at 8:30AM so we had to start our hair/makeup super early (around 4:30AM!) Kelly and her team even showed up a little early to make sure that the makeup applying started promptly at 4:30AM. She also came back later that night ON TIME during my reception to do another hairstyle for my Chinese dress.
I would recommend Kelly to everyone. Her prices are also extremely reasonable, she's easy to talk to and does amazing work. Thank you Kelly for making me beautiful!
Kelly and Karen were great! .
Kelly did my makeup + hair for my wedding in Oct, 2008. Everyone loved my makeup + hair. I thought the makeup looked ver natural. My bang did start to come undone but Karen was able to fix it before the wedding and photo shoots! (Kelly had to leave early to another wedding appointment.)
They also did a fantastic job on my maid of honor and mom's make up + hair. Karen also did my sister in law and aunt in law's hair. And they all looked wonderful.
Her price is very reasonable and I would definitely recommend her to future brides!
I would definitely recommend Kelly Zhang and her team. I went to her house to do the trial run which was great - she was very meticulous, spending much time and really incorporating the ideas I had to give me a beautiful wedding day look. The day of my wedding, she arrived early and finished ahead of schedule, providing great looks for all the girls in my wedding party. Her calm, easy-going personality was a refreshing way to start my big day.
Kelly Zhang and her team were wonderful for our wedding day. I was so impressed by her trial that I booked her right away. She did show up a little late on the day of the wedding but she was prepared and ready. She still had us all finished at the time I had stated. She did my hair/makeup and she brought another woman who did hair/makeup for two bridesmaids, the mother of the groom and two flower girls. Everyone was thrilled with their work. I definately recommend her!
I had clip in hair extensions which I was really excited about. However, they did not hold the curl that well throughout the night so i would be careful with these.
Kelly is definitely is the best! She is a professional makeup artist in all aspect. Her makeup was amazing and it lasted all day (even though the day of my wedding was crazy! It was cold, windy, and then it would get really hot during the afternoon). However, by the end of the night, my makeup look as if it had just been applied. If anyone is deciding on a makeup artist, check out Kelly before you go anywhere else. ~ Marion
Kelly did my makeup for a wedding I was in.
I heard many good reviews about her on this website as well as many others so I was super excited for her to do my makeup.
I asked for a more nature look but she used darker colors and by the time she was done, I just went with it because hey its not my day, so who cares if my makeup is not the best, its all about the bride right?
What really got me was what many of the previous posters mentioned, I noticed the bobby pins were flying out of the other bridesmaids hairs and it was scattered on the floor. I am not talking one or two bobby pins, but enough to the point where my hair was falling out in 30 minutes and I had to find ways to keep my hair in place throughout the entire day.
Then about 3 hours after my makeup was done, my fake eyelashes were falling off. I had to scramble to find the nearest store that sold eyelash glue since I didn't know the area I was in. I was surprise that she didn't even leave a little touch up kit just in case.
Overall, if I am a bride, the last thing I want to worry about is bobby pins flying everywhere and my eyelashes falling out. Maybe she is more careful on brides?
Overall, I was pretty disappointed as I read many raving reviews about her and
Vendor response to review
Hi Msmarried,
Thank you for your honest review. Your feedback is important to us, praise and criticism alike.
I believe the bride and bridesmaids are both important. It is always stated in contract we reserve averagely 1 hour 15 min to 1.5 hour for each bridesmaids so we have enough time to make sure for all of you ladies look your best.
Because we don't usually have the privilege to meet the bridesmaids before the wedding, we always started by going over with the desired look, and try our best to achieve it. We apologize for the setback of not having a trial for all the bridesmaid. We can't guarantee we will achieve the way you want to look on the first try all the time, and that is why we reserve a longer than average time block for the bridesmaids and encourage your feedback on the spot. Most of time, We start a light makeup so we may add more according to each of your liking.
Also stated in the contract, we do provide a touchup kit which includes the eyelashes glue and extra bobbin pin. It is provided for the bride so all the bridal party will have access to it.
Again, we want to thank you for you opinion and an opportunity to explain in detail about the service we provide, and offer our most sincere apology for not meeting your expectation. We wish to have a second chance with you. We are offering you a free trial for your wedding.
Thank you
Kelly
Kelly and her girls did a fabulous job! I had 2 trial sessions and on the day of the wedding they worked on me and my 4 bridesmaids. We were all very happy with the results. The first trial I went for a more dramatic "vintage" look. Although I liked how it looked, it wasn't me. I went back for my engagement session and LOVED it. Very natural looking yet not plain, they do magic with eyes!! My bridesmaids are all Latinas and were a bit hesitant about someone doing their makeup. We are all different shades of brown with different types of hair. Karen and Jennie did an excellent job, they were patient and professional, even though my BM kept making adjustments. We look flawless in our pics, they truly work magic. I highly recommend Kelly and her staff, they are very talented at a reasonable price!!!
I truely enjoyed working with Kelly. I've already booked her 3 times and was never disappointed. Engagement session, wedding day and wedding portraits. I sprung the wedding portraits at the last miniute since my wedding day was so hectic, I didn't get a chance to have take many photos with my hubby. I literally called Kelly at the last minute to arrange a session and she was able to accomodate me. That's true customer service! She took her as much time as she did on my wedding day. I highly recommend Kelly and her team to all the beautiful brides out there. Ohhh, and lastly she also gave me some make-up tips =)
~EY
Kelly was very professional, she showed up early to setup and did a great job for my big day. She did hair and make-up for not only me and my bridesmaids, but my family as well.
Everyone was very impressed with the results.
I would highly recommend Kelly
Thanks!
I usually don't wear any makeup so I was worry about looking like a different person on the day of my wedding. For a very reasonable price, Kelly bring out all of my good features and made me look really natural. On the day of my wedding, everyone couldn't stop complimenting how great I looked. Kelly was willing to accommodate me in many ways when me and my bridesmaids needed to be ready early in the morning. It was really windy on the day of my wedding but my hair looked just as great after few hours of outdoor photo shooting. I highly recommend Kelly. Thanks for doing a great job that day, Kelly.
I'm so happy to have Kelly as my make up & hair artist on my wedding day. On the wedding day, she re-evaluated what she did during the trial and improve on it. So ended up,She did a impressive work on my wedding day. She also have really nice make up team, all of my bridesmate and the family member look great! Her service have a reasonable price!
I have personally thank Kelly on a wonderful and professional job, but I want to commend her on-line and share my experience of her with everyone. I found her website last year while fumbling through the internet. At first, I was skeptical, but after speaking and emailing with Kelly several times, I decided to do a trial session.
The day of the trial session, I was impressed with her professionalism. She came with her make-up luggage box and started laying out all her make-up tools. We conversed from the brands of cosmetics she utilized and what types of hair-do would look good based on my facial features. At that time I didn't have any wedding outfits picked out yet. Also, I had my Mom, Aunt, and cousin with me to give me a second set of eyes and feedback. At the end of the session, I was impressed how natural the make-up looked on me.
Was I sold on her afterwards? Trust me, I have lots of friends/cousins who got married, and I'm pretty familiar with some the make-up artists they've used. I've been Maid of Honor three times and know how it feels to go through on a wedding day. However, I was looking for a PROFESSIONAL and GOOD make-up artist who can come to my house early on the day of the wedding and still give me a good deal. After several interviews with other make-up artists around my area, Kelly was the one who was able to meet all my requirements.
The most special day of my life dawned upon me. Kelly and her team arrived at 5:15 am promptly. They were dressed up in their professional black t-shirts with her logo. I was impressed again on her professionalism. She worked on me and afterwards worked on the hair-do's of my bridal party of 6. She completed her assignment by 9am - just in time before the groom picks me up. Around 5pm, Kelly arrived to my banquet location and did a touch-up on my make-up and did a new hair-do for the night. Again, she was on time and waiting for me while I ran a little late.
Overall, I definitely recommend Kelly Zhang for make-up and for her professional and wonderful service. She's very sweet and nice and very pleasant to work with. She listens to the client's needs and comes up with expert suggestions. If I didn't find Kelly on-line, I think my special day would definitely be different.
Kelly, THANK YOU again!
PROFESSIONAL, PROMPT, RELIABLE, KNOWLEDGEABLE...After searching around for a makeup artist, I couldn't be happier with what I found in Kelly. I was initially struck by how much she understood skin tone & face shape as they related to hair & makeup. She spent years studying makeup artistry and it certainly showed!
She also takes into consideration your style, trying to mesh your hair/makeup with your gown, flowers, venue, etc. When she applies your makeup, she is almost in a trance, focused only on making you beautiful by highlighting your natural features. It is no surprise that Kelly is so good at her job; she truly enjoys it.
Of course, skill without professionalism is nothing. On the day of my wedding, Kelly was recovering from a cold, yet she still arrived early for our 8 AM appointment (wearing a face mask to keep from spreading germs) to do hair and makeup for myself and my three bridesmaids. If I had it to do over again, I would save myself time and money by going directly to Kelly. Thank you for everything!!!
I booked Kelly for my wedding day right after my trial, without going to other hair/makeup artists. I thought the trial went well, but the "after" pictures didn't turn out as I had hoped. I mentioned it to Kelly and she was extremely nice about it. She offered another trial so that I would feel comfortable on my wedding day. I told her exactly how I wanted my makeup/hair and showed her pictures, and the result was great!
I was really appreciative of Kelly's understanding. She provides great customer service, is a professional that I would recommend to friends and I look forward to working with her for my wedding!
I had a great experience with kelly and her make up crew. On my 2 trial runs, Kelly listened to how I wanted my hair/make up and offered great suggestions. I placed my trust in her work and everything was wonderful on my wedding day. They showed up early and on time on my wedding day to work on 4 bridesmaids, me and mother-in-law's hair and make up. They did a fabulous job and completed everything on time. Very professional. They were able to cater to a bridesmaid who didn't want heavy make up/eye lash extensions and still made her look great. I also had a touch-up session in the middle of my wedding day. Kelly was able to rearrange my hair and changed my make up for the night banquet. Awesome work! I'd recommend them any time.
It was such a pleasure working with Kelly. Not only that she's such a professional, but she's so nice. Kelly and her assistant did make-up and hair for myself, my maid of honor, my mom, and mother-in-law on my wedding day, and everyone looked so natural and beautiful. Thanks Kelly.
Excellent excellent excellent!!! I was very happy with my trial so I booked her almost immediately. I wasn't sure how I wanted my hair so she was even nice enough to offer me a second trial for my hair only. She did the best job on my wedding day!!! She's reliable, uses great products, and is very knowledgeable on makeup. Thank you Kelly!
Kelly is absolutely awesome! She has a natural talent for bringing out the best look in you and makes you look amazing every time. After the trial, I had no doubt I wanted Kelly to be my wedding makeup artist. Kelly is sweet, attentive, and a perfectionist (in a good way). Kelly did my hair/makeup, and her team did the hair/makeup of my five bridesmaids, plus four family members. Even though we had a huge group, everyone looked amazing, and we couldn't have been happier with the results.
wow all 5 star reviews, although I'd have to agree. unfortunately I didn't have Kelly on my wedding day, however she was there for my trial and was very nice and helped with the look for my wedding day. I did have Susie, however, and working with her was wonderful. Neither I nor my bridesmaids wear make-up on a daily basis, but Susie made us look pretty! not over-done, and I have to say, please check out their web-site, the before and after shots say it all and these ladies are very sweet, genuine (both hard to find in the industry), and professional. She also gives make-up lessons apparently, and they turned me on to new make-up brands to try which is always fun. =) highly highly recommend these ladies.
Kelly and her team were great! An added plus is that her pricing was very reasonable. I went in for my hair/makeup trial, and Kelly had great suggestions as to how to best accomplish the look and feel that I wanted. She was also honest (but tactful!) with her opinions, which I appreciated. On the day of the wedding, she and her team arrived promptly and finished with everything early. You can tell she is a perfectionist, and that she is very concerned with making sure you are happy and comfortable with the final look. I highly recommend her!
Thank you for the beautiful makeup. she is very artistically and naturally applied my makeup.there are many people have commented on how my makeup was subtle and didn't make me look like a different person. Kelly is reliable professional.
Kelly is absolutely amazing and incredibly talented. I am extremely picky when it comes to someone (other than myself) doing my makeup but after my trial w/ her, I was impressed. I immediately booked her and she made me look and feel gorgeous on my wedding day. The makeup in the pictures came out even better. She really knows how to make up the face to look natural in person yet not washed out in pictures. Amazing and highly recommended!!
We want to thank Christina and Jessica for their amazing jobs not only on the bride but on all the 6 other girls getting hair and the 2 mothers getting hair and makeup in a span of 5 hours. They were so patient with my mother who was so particular and so sweet to the flowergirl who was so shy. They came very very early and could've started without being crunched for time had it not been for the bride who woke up late (although that was still only 3 hours of sleep). Thankfully they stayed late with Kelly's permission and finished until everyone including my mother-in-law looked absolutely stunning. My husband still comments on how beautiful his mom looked and that we've never seen her like that. Of course everyone, especially my husband still talks about how beautiful I looked that night. It was exactly what I wanted and Christina worked very patiently with me to get every strand of my hair exactly the way I wanted. The whole night was magical and I felt like I was cinderella. Jessica worked very quickly doing the rest of the girls but she also made them look so beautiful. We really can't thank you enough for all your hard work and amazing talent! I'm so glad we went with Kelly Zhang Makeup!
Kelly was fantastic! I had a makeup and hair trial with her and knew right away I wanted her to be my makeup/hair artist for the big day. She was a great listener, very sensitive to my needs, calm, friendly, and very easy to work with.
On the day of the wedding, she and her team showed up 6am in the morning, very professional and ready to go. I got terrific complements on my hair/makeup and felt beautiful. I loved the fact that Kelly went for the nature approach, made me look radiant and still be true to who I am.
Excellent job, Kelly!
What can I say about Kelly and her work that hasn't already been said? She did a great job on my hair and my Maid of Honor's. I am pretty inexperienced at having my hair and make-up done for special occasions, so Kelly's advice on how I should wear it and take care of it was extremely helpful. I was amazed at how quickly she worked, and even though she did my hair in the morning and the wedding wasn't until the evening, my hair kept its shape the entire day. Even though Kelly didn't do my make-up because my friend had offered to do it as a wedding gift, Kelly was sweet enough to offer to take a look at the colors we picked out and offer some helpful tips. I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly and her team to make you beautiful!
Kelly and her team are Awesome! I love all of her works. I booked with her without a trial session, and she didn't let me down! I look and i felt very beautiful on my wedding day, All of my bridesmaids are very satisfy with their work too! Thank you for making us beautiful Kelly!!
Thank you for kelly and her team! She really listened to my feedback and worked with me to achieve my ideal look. I felt wonderful and thought the look translated well in the photos!
Once you meet her for your trial session, you can not resist her appeal. Kelly will go the extra mile to make sure that you as the bride look as beautiful and confident as you feel. Kelly and team is Worth every penny and more!
Kelly and her team are absolutely amazing!! I didn't even want to wash my face after my wedding! Everyone telling me how beautiful I look!! My makeup stays on all night. Everything is perfect. I was really worry about my mom's makeup, cause she had a bad experience with another makeup artist before on my sis wedding. But when Kelly's team did my mom's makeup, She love it.!!!
Kelly and her team did such an amazing job on my wedding. We are really satisfied with me and mom's makeup and hair. I'm really happy that i made a correct chose using her on my wedding day. I went to many trials before my wedding, all the them turn out to be very heavy foundation and dark eye make up, Which i really hated it! But kelly gave me a very natural look, but it looks really good in pictures. I recommend her to all my friends!!!
Kelly did my hair and makeup for my engagement ceremony a year ago. I immediately booked her for my wedding right after! She is super super sweet and genuine, professional, and no doubt talented! She give me a natural look for the morning and a smoky look for the reception all while "making me look like me." I would definitely recommend her in a heartbeat!
Kelly was very accommodating and professional. I had a trial session on a weekday and the price was very reasonable. My maid-of-honor accompanied me to take pictures and to get an idea of what to expect for her own make-up and hair.
Another great attribute about working with Kelly is that she is really gentle when she applies make-up on you and styles your hair. My eyes are very sensitive to make-up but she was patient and able to make them look great. I requested a natural look for how I wanted my make-up to appear and she did a wonderful job during the trial session and the actual day of the wedding. My ceremony took place in Orange County and I was very grateful to Kelly and the other make-up artist for driving all the way from Pasadena. They arrived promptly at the hotel. I felt really guilty for asking them to come at 5:00am, but Kelly had mentioned during the trial session that another bride had requested her to arrive at 5am so I was relieved that it wasn't the first time that she has had to get up so early! My ceremony began at 10:30 am, and in addition to myself, there were 3 bridesmaids who needed their hair and make-up done, while the mother-of-the-bride requested only make-up, and the mother-of-the-groom asked for only her hair to be styled. Kelly and the other make-up artist managed to have all of us ready by 8:30am! I had mentioned to Kelly that I needed to be ready by 8:45 in order to leave to get pictures taken before the ceremony and she was excellent at managing the time without making us feel stressed or rushed.
My only concern is one that has been mentioned in other people's reviews -- my up-do and my bridesmaids' hair styles did not stay in place for long. Some of the pins were falling off before the ceremony. But other than that...
I highly recommend Kelly and her staff for weddings and other events. Throughout the entire process, she kept in touch and always responded to my phone calls and emails right away, which is a huge sigh of relief for any bride who is planning her own wedding.
Kelly really turn me into a princess on my wedding day! thank you kelly!
Kelly did a wonderful job on my wedding last week! I loved it. Everbody love my make up and hair. Good job !
I love kelly's work! So Glad to have her on my wedding! Her price is reasonable, and her team is very professional. She made all of us look So pretty!!!!
Wonderful! Kelly was great to work with on my wedding. She took the time during my make-up trial session to find out what my dress looked like and really try to match my hair and make-up to my dress and wedding theme.
The day of the wedding she and her assistants arrived promptly at 5am to get me and other family members ready. Kelly was very patient with two demanding mothers. All of us turned out beautiful! I was receiving complements all througout the wedding on hope wonderful and natural my make-up looked. It even lasted all day in the L.A. heat! After the wedding my husband and I had a photo session with our photographer and my hair and make-up were still perfect!
I would highly recommend Kelly Zhang for anyone's wedding. She is very professional, but also fun. She puts you at ease as she works her magic on your hair and face.
Kelly and Co. did my makeup for my sister’s wedding in Nov 2007. They did a great job on my sister, her bridesmaids, and me (the maid of honor). We all loved our hair and makeup and received a lot of compliments. Kelly did such a great job that I booked her as my hair and makeup artist for my own wedding without looking else where. She gave me wonderful suggestions and showed much creativity during my trial with her.
Kelly and her assistant, Karen, were awesome on my wedding day, June 28, 2008. My special day was extra magical because Kelly made me feel like a princess. My bridesmaids and I were very beautiful that day. We looked great in person, pictures, and videos. Kelly was a great and professional stylist to work with.

I LOVE Kelly Zhang and her makeup team. Kelly is the sweetest most patient person. I had so many reservations about my hair style, flat curls, etc...and on top of that, I have major skin allergies that she was able to work around so well. She showed up bright and early with her partner Karen to do hair and makeup for 4 bridesmaids, myself and my mom. Everyone turned out so well, and my hair NEVER went flat the whole night.
Check out her website as she has AMAZING transformations! Her price point is also amazingly reasonable for the amount of work and effort she puts into each and every one of her clients.
Thank you, Kelly and Karen, for making me and my girls look AMAZING at my wedding!
You did a fantastic job! Thanks so much for being so patient and understanding with me and my mom... Your professionalism is first rate!
Kelly was probably my FAVORITE vendor. Thanks to her, my makeup was flawless but natural...everyone remarked how I still looked like me. She was on time, brought her assistant as promised, and allowed for several pre-wedding day trials all at a VERY affordable price. She is an expert at what she does and can work magic (see her before and after shots on her webpage to be wowed). I was allowed THREE hairstyle changes and changes of makeup to match my different outfits! AND, she brought hair jewelry for me w/o charge.
I met Kelly at my friend's wedding 2 years ago. She is the makeup artist for my friend the bride and I was the brides mate.She made the bride and all of bridesmaid look beyond gorgeous.I loved her work. So now finally it's my turn, I hired her for my wedding. She made me look like a princess.I received so many compliments on my hair and make up.The make-up and hair stayed on for the whole night. I had a 2 outfit change, each time She help me do a different hair style and make up to match the my dresses.I could not recommend her enough. Thank you Kelly, you did a good job.
Kelly was great and super cool. At my hair trial she was really nice and gave great suggestions, the day of the wedding she showed up on time and was very quick and efficient. Everyone loved my hair and makeup and I look great in the pics.
Kelly just did my hair and makeup for my engagement ceremony. Kelly was very sweet and accommodating. Meeting Kelly you can tell she loves the profession as she is meticulous with her makeup application and is highly dedicated to continuing her education and skills in the profession. She gave me a flawless natural look that was enough to cover the blemishes and highlight my features but not too much that my skin was cakey. It turned out great on pictures too!
I would highly recommend Kelly- she does stunning work and my brides have had nothing but great things to say about her!
