Reviews for Kelly Zhang Makeup | Hair Studio {Airbrush.Extension}




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 and her team were awesome! They came early and set up and finished right on time. All of the bridesmaids got their hair and make-up done and they were very happy. Even my picky mom loved her look. Kelly was very sweet during the trials and on my big day. I felt beautiful and my husband loved it too! I highly recommend Kelly to anyone who wants to feel and look like a princess.




Kelly and her team did such an amazing job for my wedding! I hired Kelly to do the hair and makeup for myself, my 6 bridesmaids, my sister, my mother, my mother in law and my flower girl, and everyone looked fantastic! I had met with Kelly for my trial a couple of months before the wedding, and she did exactly what I'd asked for. I was so happy with the trial that I was almost concerned that I might not look as good on my wedding day! But, Kelly certainly did not disappoint! I am soooo happy with the way my hair and makeup turned out.
I have had my hair and makeup done professionally about 6 times, and perhaps it's because I'm an Asian woman, but I find that many makeup artists decide to go for the "cat eyes" when they do my eye makeup. But not Kelly. She knew exactly how to enhance my features and make me feel beautiful. And, Kelly and her team did the same for everyone in my bridal party (both Asian and non-Asian). And what was great is that they really listened to what each one of us wanted. Some girls wanted really light, natural makeup, and some wanted really dramatic makeup, and Kelly and her team were really accommodating and respectful of what everyone wanted.
Kelly was always really professional, but at the same time she is so sweet and so much fun that it was almost like having a friend there on my wedding day doing my hair and makeup. I am so glad I found Kelly, she is so talented and great at what she does! Now, if only I could find other formal events to go to so that I could hire Kelly again to do my hair and makeup ;) I highly, highly recommend Kelly Zhang!!!!




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!!




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!!! :)




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!




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!




You guys have no idea how many make up trials I had with other makeup artists before I found Kelly. When I first met Kelly, I was very impressed by her Skills! I got very bad acne scar, She used airbrush makeup on me, Covers everything! Kelly and her team show up on time to my wedding day! My make-up was absolutely perfect and lasted all evening. She also did my mother's make-up, my bridesmaids, my mother they all looked stunning!!! I highly recommend her. I would give her 10 stars if I could!




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 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!




Kelly and her team are amazing for our wedding. All my bridesmaids loved their makeups. I start my makeup and hair 8:00am,even after 11pm makeup still looked flawless!




Kelly and her team did a such a wonderful job on my wedding. She lives up to her reputation. All of my friends booked their team for the weddings.! I felt so confidant on my wedding day. My bridesmaids loved Kelly as well and were so happy with the outcome. All and all it was an amazing experience with Kelly on one of the most important days of my life.




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!




I have to say, Kelly is one of my favorite vendor for my wedding. I have nothing but rave reviews for her. I had a great trial run with Kelly. We had a great conversation in which I was able to explain my style, my dress, and all the little details that factored into my look. She did a couple of looks on me until I was happy. Kelly took picture for all of my looks and go over each look with me. I had no doubt on my wedding day that I was going to look exactly how I wanted. That made me feel very confident. On my wedding day, all my bridesmaids had different skin tones and she was able to bring out the best in all of us. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly to every bride!




Kelly and her amazing team did a wonderful job on my wedding day! I just got back my wedding pictures from my photographer. We all looked very very pretty!!! I never thought i would look that way! Kelly is very on time, and very detail!! On my wedding day, She prepared the hair extensions, hair pins, and a very useful touchup kit for me!! I absolute love her!! 2 of my bridesmaid who is getting married this year, is already booked kelly!!
Thank you kelly for making my days even more special to me!!!




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!




Kelly is best! Her work speak for herself! She did my makeup and hair for my wedding in Nov. 


After so many researching , I decided to do trials with 2 of my favorites makeup artist. I set up a trial with Kelly first. Kelly responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is very accommodating. At my trial day, She really takes her time and does not rush you. I ask for a brown smokey eyes, and she did a great job. It wasn't too overpowering, yet enough to make a statement. She is very good at blending and contouring the eyes. She is not afraid to try new things which gives you a wide range of different looks to choose from. Also, My hair is very flat, I’m still amazed how she did my hair with so much volume! i LOVE it! I had so much fun working with her at my trial,I actually cancelled my other makeup trial and have decided to go with her on my big day.
On my wedding day, I ask her to come in at 6:00am, and she even came in early for us. she wants everything to be perfect. My make up stay fresh all day long. I got so much complements on my makeup and hair. Not only kelly outdid herself, but she was able to accommodate me with changes at the last minute. She definitely work well under pressure!
Kelly is fun,sweet,very on time and professional. Its worth it every penny.  
Even my photographer she says my hair and makeup looked thousands times better than the bride in her last wedding shot.





Kelly is AMAZING!!
She did my Trial, Engagements session, & Boudoir session! She never disappointed me! I love all of my makeup and hair turns out. She did exactly I want it!!!!
I can't wait to work with her on my wedding day!




As someone who does not anything about hair, besides a round brush blow dry, or make up, besides eye liner and powder, hiring Kelly Zhang and her staff (Karen) to do the hair and make up for my wedding was definitely the right choice. They were very friendly and accommodating. During the trial session, I was not sure of what hair style I want, up or down and Kelly was able to show me both that same day. I didn't choose the up do for the wedding, but it was gorgeous (see bio) and I loved loved loved my makeup and hairstyle the day of the wedding. They were very professional and that made me very comfortable about my choice to hire them. Kelly is very talented and devoted to her craft and anyone who hires her and her staff will, without a doubt, feel absolutely gorgeous.




Kelly is very friendly and professional!! I had my makeup trial in March 09 and got married 6 months later. She has been very popular and always in high demand so I made a deposit to book her as my make up artist 6 months in advance. She did an amazing job on my wedding day ie arriving at 4:30 AM on time at my house, coming to the church at noon before ceremony for touch up and visiting me at the hotel at 7pm to redo my hair!! I'm sooooo glad that I have her to do my make up. She gave me the look I've always wanted!! Thanks Kelly!! Love your work and best wishes!!!




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




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 =)

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!




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 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!




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.!!!




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!!!




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!




I have nothing but the best to say about Kelly and her team. Being very particular, I had already had 2 makeup trials and a hair trial that included 5 different styles. With the day fast approaching, I was desperate to find the right makeup artist and hair stylist. Kelly was booked but recommended Marie. After my trial I was blown away... Marie nailed my makeup AND hair. YAY!
Needless to say, I was VERY happy on my wedding day. And throughout the entire process from trial to finished look, I was nervous and full of questions and comments. They both answered all my concerns and on the day, Marie did a great job keeping me calm.
I was very specific about what I wanted and it was their goal to achieve it. Also, I was not initially a believer of needing an "asian specific" makeup artist for my features, but I must say, they proved me wrong. They are the definite choice to go with because they understand the differences in skin and features and how to best highlight them.




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.




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.




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 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 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!!!!




I highly recommend Kelly for any of your makeup needs. She specializes in weddings and engagements, but any event where you need to look great in photos is a good reason to call Kelly. I researched wedding makeup artists and Kelly's came up consistently for Asian brides in photos I liked. I was incredibly happy with the job she did for me at the trial and for the wedding day. She is reasonably priced, prompt, alert, and, I dare say, more talented than any makeup artists I've had before.




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!




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!




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!




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.




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!!




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 can't say enough good things about Kelly and her team. They did a such a good job on my wedding. They arrived early to our hotel, and customized different makeup to my bridesmate and my mom. Kelly and her team has a talent for make-up and hair and her prices are extremely reasonable.
GUEST




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.
GUEST




I booked kelly right after my trial session with her. Before my trial, I don't really know what I want, but Kelly was able to give me options and suggest How i can look my best. On my wedding day, kelly and her team arrived at my hotel on time, They did me , bridesmaid and family members. They finished within 5 hours. Everyone looked amazing, and we couldn't have been happier with the results.
GUEST




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.
GUEST




Asian barbie. That's what people said I looked like on my wedding day, and trust me I don't look like a model. I was disappointed when Kelly wasn't available on my wedding day and I was nervous about using one of her artists. But I booked with Jennie who was unbelievable. She did my hair, makeup and extensions. It transformed my face and hair, yet somehow still looked natural. I have flat volumeless hair and oily skin. I kept waiting for the curls to fall out and for my makeup to start smearing around my eyes. It never happened. And I have to admit, without sounding arrogant, that I felt really good about how I looked on my wedding day. It looked great in person and looked great in photos. I tested with many makeup studios and makeup counters and no one even came close to Jennie. It would either look great in person, but I looked like I had no makeup on in the photos. Or I looked like a crazy prostitute in person and looked normal in the photos. Jennie was able to achieve a beautiful look for both.
GUEST




Kelly Zhang's makeup and hair team are awesome! From my engagement shoot to my bridal trial to my wedding day, I felt so comfortable having these ladies work with me to help me look beautiful! First, I had Jennie who did my engagement session hair and makeup. She is so fun and sweet and so easy to talk to! I felt like a new woman going into my engagement shoot. She made me truly feel beautiful!And then I worked with Leann for my bridal trial and for my wedding day! She is sooo great to work with and so much fun. She truly helped put me at ease, especially on the big day. You can tell that she really loves what she does and has such a passion for making brides feel gorgeous on their wedding day. Her and her team of 4 other makeup artists came in bright and early on the wedding day (6 am!) and got right to work! They were very pleasant and so professional! They definitely worked with with my big wedding party (9 bridesmaids and 2 moms) with the small amount of space we had in my hotel room. But everything worked out and everyone loved their look! Leann was wonderful as always, and I can never thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful l that day! :) I couldn't wait to show my future husband how I looked! :) I will always be happy to recommend Kelly Zhang and her team to future brides!

During my wedding planning process, I searched long and hard for a solid makeup artist. I stumbled across Kelly Zhang on Yelp and noticed how many glowing reviews she received along with a large and impressive hair/makeup portfolio.After my wedding trial with Kelly this past Spring, I booked her immediately and was 100% confident she would nail it on my big day. She definitely "gets it" and knows how important it is to look your most beautiful on your wedding day. I still remember what Kelly said - "You only have one shot so you have to get it right." I signed up my entire bridal party along with the mother's since I wanted everyone to look amazing.On the actual day, Kelly and team arrived right on the dot (they would've arrived 30 minutes early but traffic on PCH was bad that weekend) with makeup equipment in tow and ready to rock. Kelly is extremely professional but very easy to talk to and has a friendly demeanor. But what I love most about her is that she is so extraordinarily talented in making you look your best by enhancing your features without piling it on.Kelly knows exactly what colors to use and the best way to contour your face - and she is ridiculously fast and efficient. I received compliments all night long about how gorgeous I looked and how great my hair looked. I was definitely on cloud 9 the entire evening - it was the best night of my entire life!Ladies, if you're looking for a phenomenal hair/makeup artist for your wedding, look no further. Remember, you only have "one shot" to look your best on your wedding day which means you need to recruit the best vendors. I loved the way I looked in my pictures - Thank you, thank you Kelly Zhang!
GUEST




I went with Kelly Zhang's Make Up team for my wedding day & engagement photo shoot! Mieko was my hair & make up artist for both and she did a fabulous job!! I wish I had someone like her to do my make up everyday! She is super sweet & if theres something you don't feel comfortable with, she'll fix it without hesitation. On my wedding day, all my bridesmaids make up & hair also came out absolutely gorgeous, thanks to her assistants that day: Denise & Jennifer. I would hire them for my everyday hair and make up needs if i could..!!!
GUEST




I love Kelly Zhang Makeup! Kelly did my engagement and wedding makeup and she has amazing makeup skills and she is the easiest to work with. A few of my friends have used Kelly at their wedding, so I have seen her work first hand. Her makeup is flawless and natural. She makes you looks like you, but a "beautified" version of yourself. I can go on bragging about how talented Kelly and her team are, but their portfolios speak for themselves.When it comes to choosing a wedding vendor or makeup artist, it is also important to consider their reputation and their services. If you book with Kelly, you will not have to deal with any vendor nightmares. Kelly is flexible, always accessible and delightful to work with. On the day of our wedding, she arrives 30 mins early to make sure we start on time. Kelly does have magical hands, all the girls' makeup looked amazing and the makeup lasted throughout the day too! Thank you so very much, Kelly! You are a Saint in the makeup world! =)
GUEST




I'm so grateful that I found Kelly Zhang Makeup through Wedding Wire. From the moment I first contacted Kelly, I knew I was in good hands. The photos on the website speak for themselves - Kelly and her team of makeup artists are the best. I also appreciated Kelly's warmth and professionalism throughout the booking process. Her emails were always friendly and helpful and I could always count on a quick response from her. Marie was my makeup artist for my trial and on my wedding day. She is friendly and sweet and I felt very much at ease with her as soon as we met. She is an amazing makeup artist. On my wedding day, I felt like the prettiest version of myself. When I looked in the mirror I saw a beautiful girl, glowing on the inside from unparalleled happiness and radiant on the outside because of unparalleled expertise in makeup application, thanks to Marie! Every girl should be so lucky and feel so beautiful on her wedding day!




Love the Kelly Zhang team! You definitely want to do the trial session so that you know what kind of hair and makeup you will want for your day and they were great for my wedding. Denise showed up early and started on my mom's hair first. She then worked on my hair and makeup and it turned out great. I received nothing but compliments throughout the evening/night at the ceremony and reception. They also provide you with a touch-up kit of the makeup that was used, along with straws and mints. :) I highly recommend the Kelly Zhang team for your wedding day hair and makeup.
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her hair/make-up team are truly amazing! Kelly is so professional, friendly, and really makes a bride feel like part of their family. I was beyond pleased with my hair and makeup on my wedding day. I never felt more like a princess! My husband was so thrilled to see me at our first look, that it really set the tone for the rest of the day. The makeup was perfect, and felt like I had nothing on with the airbrush makeup. My hair was down in curls all day and didn't go flat. Meiko, the lead artist, made me feel so comfortable that morning and relaxed. I love Kelly and her team, and I thank them so much for make my day extra special. Thank you guys! <3




Kelly was amazing. I was so pleased with all of her work, and the work of her assistants. She was very professional, calming, easy to talk to, talented, and most importantly I feel like she understood what I was envisioning though I was horribly prepared at our consultation and at articulating what I wanted. In total- there were three ladies who had their makeup done, four bridesmaids w/ both hair and makeup, and mine own hair and makeup. All of the girls looked amazing. I had a beautiful bridal party to begin with, but they really did look great.
TIP #1- buy one of those makeup/hair books from amazon or buy some magazines with great pictures in it for you and your ladies to go through. I really suggest the makeup books since you can see the eye-makeup, lip color close up as opposed to some paparazzi shot of a celebrity. It really is so important. Sounds so simple, but with everything else going on it is so easy to forget. I had forgotten this at my consultation and was completely rushed at the last minute trying to pull up celebrity pics of hair/makeup I liked on my phone. Right when you need a picture of Kim Kardashian there is suddenly none to be found!??!! So when it came for the wedding day I was sure to bring in extra pictures. However, I brought in pictures that I liked for my own makeup/hair....I hadn't brought in much of a variety for the girls. Even if you ask them to bring in pictures, they most likely won't; just accept it and buy a good book with pictures of hair and makeup, it's worth it.
FYI, if you go to Kelly's blog website, you can see my picture of the before and after http://blog.kellyzhang.com/?p=2651 and you can also see pics from wedding day on www.priscilavalentina.net, our pictures were just posted on 12/25/11 Matt and Jacqueline.

Kelly Zhang is a preferred vendor from my wedding reception vendor (fantasea yachts) and looked at her website right away. Right when I saw her work online, I immediately booked her for my wedding day even though it was 10 months in advance! Lead artist Jennie did my hair and make-up for the engagement photo shoot and everyone who saw the engagement photos loved my look! Jennie was so much fun to work with, she can entertain you while she works with you ;). I had so much fun with her and was impressed with her work, so I made sure that Jennie was going to do my hair and make-up for the big day. On the big day, Jennie & Kelly Zhang team arrived right on time and even brought an extra artist with them to make sure that there would be no delay. All the girls at my wedding party totally loved their hair and make-up, and of course I was totally more than satisfied with my own. Jennie gave me a natural look for the wedding! Everyone was complementing how I was glowing on my wedding day! The hair and make-up lasted the whole day. Jennie is a great artist and now consider her a good friend. Only met Kelly Zhang team 3 times, but I miss them already and appreciate all their hard work and talent. Would love to come back for a make-up lesson to learn from the best in the industry and just to have fun hanging out with them! I would highly recommend Kelly Zhang and team for wedding and any other special events.
GUEST




Kelly and her team well exceeded my expectations. Kelly called me at 3:45am to let me know she and her team were on their way, and they also arrived sooner than expected for a 5:00am start, making me feel comfortable we will finish on time. When I asked how many additional staff Kelly was planning to bring, there were initially 3 artists, and then Kelly brought an extra artist to be on the safe side. I really appreciate that! We ended up finishing around 8:15am 1 bride, 5 bridesmaids, and 3 relatives without a rush and everyone loved their hair and make up. In addition to the 9 people mentioned above, I also hired Kelly and her team to do hair and make up for 3 additional relatives in another city. My relatives had a positive experience with Kelly's artists. Thank you Kelly and your staff for arriving on time, making us all feel so beautiful, and staying professional. I am so happy with my decision to have you and your team provide hair and make up services. I definitely recommend Kelly and her team to my friends and family.




If you are at all remotely interested in getting Kelly Zhang for your wedding, BOOK A TRIAL EARLY! I contacted her in January for my wedding in September & she was already booked!
I saw some crazy before & after transformations on their website so I was intrigued. The after photos have a common aesthetic: fresh faced, flawless complexion. The hairstyles range from sophisticated up dos to laid back curls & they're adept with birdcage veils & hairpieces. Here's what got me: they know how to make hooded Asian eyes POP & not in that anime kind of way.
Jessica C. did my bridal hair & makeup trial. While I didn't get 2 different hair styles as quoted on their website, she pulled together an up do that fit all the things I was looking for. I was a little hesitant about the makeup. It photographed well & didn't look cakey in person, but Jessica's stepwise fashion & slow graduation from natural look to more defined got me a little worried I would look too bare faced the day of.
I was asked to make a decision 2 weeks after the trial & booked Jessica C. No regrets here. I felt that Jessica C. did an even better job the day of, meeting requests of further eye popping and bone structure contouring spot on. The hair & makeup lasted through 10 hours of laughter, tears, & sweaty dancing, no fading, no hair falling out of place, & no false eyelashes coming off. No headaches either from the up do and obscene amounts of bobby pins used to hold it up. I really appreciated how Jessica C. was on time, calming, professional, & even allowed me to eat while she was doing my hair.
I booked with Mieko for my engagement shoot and was really pleased with how it photographed. Her enthusiasm & energy make the hair and makeup session a fun experience. She is also very knowledgeable about her craft & offered some great tips.
My interface with Kelly was the initial introductory meeting about bridal styles and booking. Kelly was so patient with the process. Circumstances kept changing & I had to keep updating the amount of bridesmaids & relatives getting hair & makeup. I appreciated how understanding & professional she was.
TIPS: Again, book a trial early. I cannot emphasize this enough. Their makeup artists get booked fast.
Try airbrush before you commit. I got the airbrush foundation for the engagement shoot & the application stung like a mother. The compliant Asian in me didn't say anything so it's really not fair to bring it up. Although it photographed well, airbrush looked cakey on me live. I'm glad I stuck with the traditional foundation for the big day.
Leave a lot of cushion time for hair/makeup sessions the day of. We went a little over the estimated time because I had 1 person in my camp not feeling how her hair & makeup were going. It's good to take that into consideration when planning.
GUEST




I found Kelly Zhang from http://theKnot.com and was impressed by the good reviews for her online. It turned out that she was also the recommended makeup artist by my wedding coordinator. I did a trial with Kelly 5 months before the wedding and was very very happy about the result. I went to take my engagement photo shoot right after the trial make up, and those photos looked amazing; I knew I wouldn't have to worry about how I look on the wedding day. On my wedding day, Kelly arrived early and worked her magic on me again. The result looks natural and beautiful and it lasted all day long. I didn't even do any touch up. I cannot be happier. I wish I could get her to do my make up everyday :)Highly recommend Kelly!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her team are wonderful! She was able to squeeze her team in on my wedding day.... 2 days before my wedding! Her team was on time, very professional, and they are great at doing makeup and hair. I got many compliments on my makeup and my mom's hair was GORGEOUS. Our makeup lasted all day too! I would not hesitate to refer them to my friends. Thank you so much Kellly! You saved my wedding day.
GUEST




Kelly did my hair and makeup for my engagement session and for the day-of. She was AMAZING on both occasions. I had so many compliments regarding my hair on our wedding day. She listened to what I wanted and created something even better than I had imagined. In addition, she made me look gorgeous, but still looking like ME. Her team also did a fabulous job on all of my 5 bridesmaids, my mom, and my sister-in-law! She was a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to any bride out there. Thanks Kelly, Marie, Jennifer, and Jessica!!

Kelly does amazing work!!! I have always been very picky when getting my hair and makeup done but I didn't have one complaint with Kelly. She made me look my absolute best on my wedding day. My hair and makeup looked great in photos and in person. Also, the air brush is a must...it lasted all day with minimal touch ups. I wouldn't trust anyone else on such an important day...you won't be sorry!
GUEST




Kelly was awesome! She did hair and makeup for the bride and her mother. She even came to the venue that night for touch-up work and for working on the bridge's 2nd hairstyle. What a pro! We love Kelly and would absolutely book her next time we need hair and makeup for another fancy event. Thanks Kelly! ^__^




I can't say enough good things about Kelly Zhang and Mieko! My make up trial was so good and I couldn't decide which look I wanted --- I ended up with an updo for the ceremony and hair down for the reception. Mieko worked with me -- she was awesome. She arrived very early (earlier than I was, actually!) and was super prompt. I loved my make up -- it wasn't overdone. She's equally good at both make up and hair. She worked really fast too, came prepared (she was already fully set up when I arrived at my getting ready location and reception area), and was dressed very well!
Kelly too has always been very sweet and accomodating! She would answer emails even after midnight (!!!) -- she's always been very prompt to reply! I also had to adjust a couple things the *night* before the wedding and she has been so understanding!
GUEST




The Kelly Zhang Team.. one word: amazing. My bridesmaids had the look they wanted and it turned out beautifully. Her team was Leann, Claudia and I can't remember who the other girl was. But they made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful. They finished early even! That was a bonus. Kelly is the sweetest person.. I would definitely recommend her and her team to anyone that wants to look/feel beautiful on any occasion. Thanks ladies for showing us your passion! :)
GUEST




Marie was my hair and make up artist. She is awesome!!! I even changed my hair style a little after the trial and she had no problem with the change. It was very helpful to have a trial and be able to see the before and after. I have a TON of hair so I know how exhausting it is to curl every piece - I really appreciate it Marie!! The make up looked awesome - not too overdone, but definitely glamorous. I cannot tell you how convenient it was to have the girls come to my location. With all the craziness on your wedding day, it is small things like this that make your day go smoother. And they came at the crack of dawn which I needed since my wedding day started very early. They worked on 7 people in my wedding party and all of them looked great. I was very happy with their services :)
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her team are AMAZING!! I booked Kelly Zhang for my wedding day the day after my friend (Amy P.) got married. I was in Amy P's wedding as one of her bridesmaids, and was very impressed with how our hair and make up came out. It lasted all day and all night! I was sold!Between the time I booked Kelly for my wedding and the day of the wedding, we had tons of emails between each other. She was quick to reply to my questions and was flexible with my many changes. She even was able to calm me down when I had emailed her, freaking out about the tan lines on my chest that appeared after walking my dog a week and half before my wedding date. Kelly reassured me that she would be able to cover it with air brushed make up and not to worry.The day of the wedding, 06.17.11, Kelly and her team arrived bright and early! Like Amy, my girls and I were eating breakfast at the hotel, and then we heard the footprints and suitcases! Sure enough, Kelly was there with her team, 15 minutes early! They set up quickly and began to work their magic!I never had any other trials or engagement sessions with Kelly, just the bridal party hair and make up for Amy P's wedding on 09.03.10. The day of the wedding, I showed her a picture of how I wanted my hair, described how I wanted my makeup to look and showed her my veil and fascinator, and boy did she deliver! My hair and make up came out great!! She also made my tan lines go away, leaving my chest all one color, so that I looked fabulous in my strapless gown! My bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, aunts, grandma, and of course, Amy P, all looked fabulous!!! Just to piggy back on what Amy P said, Kelly and her team really do make you look like yourself, but a better version. Everyone that had their hair and make up done by Kelly and team received complements all day and night! Do not hesitate to hire Kelly Zhang to do your hair and make up - you will not be disappointed! Kelly is professional, personable, and kind! Her team is awesome too! I have no complaints about Kelly Zhang, only kind words! So hurry, pick up that phone or compose that email to contact Kelly Zhang ASAP to do your hair and make up for your wedding day!!
GUEST




Kelly and her team were fantastic to work with. Marie and Leann were my specified artists. I requested to work with Marie at the recommendation of my MOH who worked with her previously. Both artists were fantastic, they had wonderful personalities and did an excellent job making us look like super models. They worked on my 4 bridesmaids, my mom and myself and finished before their expected departure time. I couldn’t be more pleased. Makeup and lashes were perfect the entire night! Thanks ladies for making my day so special!




I just had my wedding last weekend on June 11, 2011 and Kelly Zhang and her team did an amazing and stunning job on me and my bridal party. I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOOOOOOVED my hair and makeup. I am a pretty picky person and it almost took me about 1 month to finally decide on who my hair/makeup artist will be and when I found Kelly zhang, the choice suddenly became so easy. Her website and facebook are awesome b/c she frequently updates all her latest brides almost every weekend, which helped me see her work consistently. Kelly is OBVIOUSLY a professional makeup artist, someone I completely trust and know will make me beautiful on my wedding day.
Kelly listened to every request I had at my trial and perfected all of them and even asked me to email her a progress report that evening. I loved my hair and makeup and it was even MORE beautiful on my wedding day. I asked for dark, smokey eyes using natural earthtones and Kelly was such an awesome makeup artist. I got EXACTLY what I wanted and she made me feel and look so beautiful. I've honestly never felt pretty like that before and I really felt pretty on my wedding day. Kelly knows ALL the beauty secrets to enhance asian features and she made me feel like a GORGEOUS bride on my wedding day. EVERYONE kept complimenting how natural and beautiful my makeup was, and it lasted ALL DAY LONG without even fading at all. I never got oily skin, or oily lids, or any breakouts; it was just perfect. My bridesmaids all looked gorgeous and they were SOOO happy with their hair and makeup. Trust me, my BM's are SUUUUUUUPER picky and even they were so thrilled and already want to book Kelly for their future wedding!!!!
Kelly showed up ON time for the morning hair and makeup session on my wedding day, and on time for my afternoon hair change and touchup. She is extremely professional and responsive. She called several times during the days and weeks leading up to my wedding day, confirming everything and making sure I was okay and if I needed anything. Now that's first class service! She even offered to bring me coffee in the morning! so thoughtful!!!!
I did hair extensions and air brush foundations, two things i HIGHLY recommend for every bride out there.
Believe me when I say this, BOOK KELLY FOR YOUR WEDDING!!! She is so talented and truly amazing!!! You can tell that she LOVES what she does, and that's so important when you are looking for an artist. I was lucky I even got to book kelly as my artist b/c I booked her pretty late (about 8 months before my wedding!) I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Kelly Zhang!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING ME FEEL SO BEAUTIFUL ON MY WEDDING DAY, KELLY!!! YOU ARE THE BESTTTT!!!!! - Michelle
GUEST




I found Kelly Zhang through Yelp and Wedding Wire so I first have to thank all the "reviewer" brides for bringing me to Kelly (and her Studio) in the first place. What I immediately loved about Kelly was her incredible response time to all of my emails. She was one of the best wedding vendors when it came to answering any of my concerns and questions. I did a few make-up trials with other artists in the area and it was pretty unanimous from family and friends that my trial run with Kelly was the best by far. What's amazing is although the make-up may appear heavier in person, in photos, Kelly manages her make-up to look light weight and flawless. The word...perfection comes to mind.Price wise- Kelly is extremely fair to honor the price based upon what the rates are at the time you sign up. I hired her in 2010 but she agreed to offer me the 2010 rate even though I was getting married in 2011. I appreciated her professionalism in this regard.What I love about Kelly is not only her excellence in make-up but the fact that she managed to keep the naturalness in me and my 5 other bridesmaids but enhance our appearances to feel and look beautiful, confident and comfortable. Kelly can work with different hair types and skin tones which I was thankful for (my bridesmaids were of different ethnicities). It was a breath of fresh air to know I was working with a true professional. My bridesmaids and I received compliments all day on how natural and beautiful our make-up and hair looked. Although I had my hair styled by another artist, I was really impressed how Kelly styled each of my bridesmaids. Kelly made all of us look fantastic. She was wonderful to work with on the day of my wedding. She has a warm personality that is so nice to enjoy on a stressful and exciting day such as your wedding. Kelly arrived early, began to set-up quickly and smoothly transitioned each girl in her chair without any delay. I am so thankful and happy I went with Kelly. Thank you Kelly! You made me feel beautiful on one of the most special days of my life...I'll never forget it and I will make sure to recommend you to anyone in So Cal getting married (and needing a professional make-up/hairstylist).A couple recommendation to future brides: When getting a make-up trial, give yourself plenty of time to get to Kelly's location in Pasadena. I ended up getting there late because I was unfamiliar with the area (and traffic was bad that day due to heavy rain). Unfortunately, I was 45 minutes late so it cut down on my hair trial. I was disappointed I didn't have the chance to see how Kelly would have done my hair had she had more time to work with me.Kelly gave me a wonderful wedding make-up emergency kit but because I was so nervous and excited about the day, I forgot to ask her what was in each little container (and how to put it on). I would recommend having either your Maid/Matron of Honor or Bridesmaid receive make-up application instructions from Kelly so that way you have someone throughout the evening touching you up just in case. You probably won't really need it -my make-up stayed pretty much all night. Exception of the lipgloss because of dinner and cake-tasting).
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her girls are amazing. Mieko was my specific hair/make up artist and she was so sweet and great. She worked quickly, efficiently, and most importantly she did a FANTASTIC job. She is really talented and everyone looked amazing.I did a hair/make up trial with her for my engagement session: http://sarahkchen.net/?p=4039And she did my hair/make up for my wedding. All of the hair and make up stayed fresh and looked flawless ALL day (even until midnight!!) =)I would definitely highly recommend Kelly Zhang and her girls to anyone.

I hired The Kelly Zhang company for my wedding day purely on reviews. I live in another state so I never had an engagement session or bridal trial session. My wedding day was the first time having my hair and makeup done by the Kelly Zhang team and I could not be happier with the results. Kelly Zhang was wonderful at contacting me. They made sure to ask exactly how I would like my hair and makeup done for myself and bridesmaids. They confirmed the time and location of where they needed to be. My wedding ceremony was early so I needed everyone's hair and makeup done by 830am. We had 9 women including myself and they had three Artists to work on all of us. Our appointment time was 4:00am. I was impressed that the Artists arrived 15 mins early to my house and were ready to start exactly at 4:00am. My friends are beautiful, but The kelly Zhang team made them all look gorgeous. My mom and mother in law never wear make up and they received complements all day long. The best part about the makeup is that I cried a lot. I balled down the aisle. I was sure I ruined my makeup. I was wrong, even after crying my makeup was flawless. Yay!!Another thing i loved was that they did everyone's lips last. that way we could eat and drink without ruining our lips.just look at my bridesmaid http://carlosdelgadophoto.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/James-Jennifer-Wedding-5-28-11/G0000zOaXPBRh2aE/I0000HViXY6jKVfwhttp://carlosdelgadophoto.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/James-Jennifer-Wedding-5-28-11/G0000zOaXPBRh2aE/I0000WynUXLpXYK8




I got married on May 14, 2011, and after thorough research of the best hair and makeup artist in the OC/LA area, Kelly Zhang topped it all. Kelly and her assistant, Linda, created the look that my bridesmaids and I wanted for my special day. I couldn't ask for a better artist that listened to what I wanted, and also gave her professional input. She provided me with the security that I would look my best for my wedding day.
GUEST




Highly recommended make up artist. Everyone gets nervous on the big day. I worried if things will turn out well or if any vender will have issues on my big day…. Kelly is definitely a reliable person to work with. She arrived early on my wedding day, relief my fears. Took care my mom, mother-in-law and myself. We all got great complement on our make up, and hair design. Thank you Kelly
GUEST




I had Marie as my hair/makeup styles for my wedding. She's very friendly and sweet. Marie and her assistant Leann did an amazing job. I highly recommend them both.
GUEST




Kelly is FABULOUS!! She has the eye for beauty and amazing skills to make anyone look beautiful. I am so happy that I chose Kelly to be my MUA on my wedding day. Not only is her work absolutely flawless, she is friendly, accommodating and understanding. Dealing with so many ladies with different personality in a day is not easy but she was really patient and listened to our requests and likings. She is just awesome! My mom, 5 bridesmaids and I were all very satisfied with her excellent service. I seriously cannot ask for more. Kelly went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Kelly to all engaged ladies out there. Be rest assured that you will look absolutely stunning!
GUEST




Kelly is awesome! I had done one m.u. & hair trial before going to Kelly. The first trial with a different m.u.a. was good, but being someone who doesn't usually wear makeup, I wanted a second trial to compare. I'm so glad I went to Kelly. From the trial and on, Kelly was receptive to my ideas as well as providing me with her professional opinion and knowledge. She's so easy to talk to and work with, plus she and her team works hard to make sure everything goes smoothly and that you're stress free on wedding day. Prior to wedding day, I received both confirmation calls and emails from Kelly and Jennie. On wedding day, Kelly and Sherry arrive to the hotel early, got set up and went right to work. My BMs looked gorgeous, and both my mom and my mother-in-law looked fabulous. My mom never wears any makeup, gave Kelly few instruction and Kelly was able to make her feel pretty and comfortable - AMAZING! It also helped a ton that Kelly speaks Mandarin and understands both Mandarin & Cantonese. As for my makeup - I loved it! Kelly did it perfectly. She's also super sweet & thoughtful. She reminded me to eat and drink since it was going to be a long day. She also gave me a touch up kit that included straws! I didn't even think of that!Overall, hair & m.u. is one of the most important parts of wedding day. My hubbie & I are really happy that we went with Kelly & her team.
GUEST




Had a trial session with Kelly and LOVED it! Came time to my wedding and LOVED it even more! Thanks Kelly for making me look beautiful on my wedding day and the touch up kit came in handy. Will definitely have you do my makeup again for a special occasion.
GUEST




I was initially disappointed that Kelly was booked for my wedding day but once I started working with one of her lead artists, Jennie, I was very happy. Jennie did my trial, engagement session, and of course my wedding day. By the time my wedding day came, she knew what I would want, even though I wasn't sure! I liked what I saw in the mirror but hopefully the pictures come out well...I watched Kelly do a trial for a potential client as Jennie did my engagement session hair/make-up, and this bride looked amazing afterwards! I hope she chose to go with Kelly!!
GUEST




Hiring Kelly Zhang for my wedding day hair and make up was the best decision I could have made for such an important day. She came on time, finished on time (in fact, early) and simply did the best "natural" make up on me that I could have ever imagined. My side up do was also exactly the way I wanted it and lasted all night! Kelly really has skills! She has such a sweet & outgoing personality too that it was fun working with her. I received tons of compliments on my hair & make up (and I've already referred some friends to her). My only regret is that I should have had Kelly do my make up for my engagement pictures too (pics would have turned out so much better!)...lesson learned. Going forward, if I ever need my hair and make up professionally done, I would not hesitate to call Kelly. She did a wonderful job on my mom too who really doesn't wear much make up and wanted more of a natural look than I did. My mom looked beautiful, but also felt comfortable and not like she had a bunch of make up caked on her. If i could, I would give Kelly 10 stars...she is just THAT good!
GUEST




I got so many compliments about my hair and makeup on my wedding day thanks to Jennie from Kelly Zhang Makeup Studio. Jennie totally understood the style that I was going for and made it work for my face shape and skin tone. She also did an amazing job on my bridesmaids too.Kathy was our 2nd artist and she did a great job on my mom and my other bridesmaids. Everyone looked beautiful and natural. They showed up on time, got us done right on schedule and provided extra touchup items for me and the girls.Kelly was great to work with when it came to scheduling and details. She was great with all my last minute changes and really went above and beyond to accommodate all my requests.I went with someone else for my engagement session and I wish I would've stuck with Kelly and her makeup artists for all by bridal makeup. I'm going to be in a friends wedding next year and if I have a choice, I'm going to use Kelly's services again.
GUEST




Kathy did my hair and makeup (I did go in for a trial run and met Kelly who is a hoot). Amazing job - everyone told me that I looked beautiful (which of course they have to because you are the bride and it is your day). They made my eyes look huge (without taping them) merely through use of makeup and falsies. My skin looked flawless and natural. Everyone who saw the photos said that I looked so happy - and I have to attribute some of that to how beautiful Kathy made me feel. I still looked like me but a more made up me.My maids and my mom also got some of their hair and makeup done - my mom looked amazing. Everyone had huge eyes (thank you falsies) and perfect skin (no airbrushing!). Kathy even introduced some of them to new products to use that would really hold makeup in place throughout the day (combatting shine).All in all, the best money I could spend - if you're going to shell out so much money for photos, you should look amazing in them as well.

I LOVE KELLY ZHANG!!!! After stalking her for several weeks via Facebook and other wedding websites I knew she was the make up artist I wanted to hire for my wedding. Before I go on and talk about how wonderful and great she is (and SHE IS!) I remember this one telephone conversation I had with my wedding planner. We were talking one day about make up artists and I was telling her about this make up artist I was really interested in. My wedding planner then went on to say, that she already had someone in mind to do hair and make up for my wedding. And at the same time we both said, "Kellly Zhang." :) Great minds think alike apparently! :)Kelly and her team arrived early at the hotel the day of my wedding (9.3.10). They were suppose to arrive at 7:00 AM. My girls and I were still downstairs in the hotel eating breakfast at 6:55 AM, when we heard the sound of footsteps and suitcases rolling into the lobby area. It was Kelly and her team, ready to go!!! So we quickly swallowed our breakfast and returned to our suite to let them in. They set up shop really quick!Kelly was awesome to work with! She is professional, kind, sweet, and works FAST!!!!! Working with her, I felt at ease the whole time. Not once did I feel doubt or hesitation in what she was doing. She does some amazing work! When she does your hair and make up you still look like yourself, but just a better version. I was amazed how she and her team made my mom, my sister, mother in law, aunts and bridesmaids look absolutely gorgeous!!! Everyone looked breathtakingly beautiful! Best part was, the hair and make up lasted ALL DAY!!! One of my bridesmaids who is getting married next June was so impressed by her, that she wants to use Kelly for her wedding too! I would totally, and absolutely 100% recommend Kelly Zhang to anyone who is looking for a make up/hair artist for their wedding day.
GUEST




My bridesmaids an i absolutely LOVED having jennie from kelly zhang's team! She's the sweetest girl ever! She makes you feel comfortable and I felt horrible changing and switching around the schedule on the wedding day, but jennie was extremely flexible and understanding. As far as her expertise goes, it was amazing! The way she applied the foundation felt lightweight but the coverage was outstanding. My bridesmaids all had their own wants as far as hair and makeup goes and jennie was able to execute each look even better than what the girls expected :) the kelly zhang makeup an hair team is outstanding!! Book jennie before she gets booked on your day!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her staff are absolutely amazing! I booked Kelly and her staff for hair and makeup for my wedding in October. Having heard from a friend that she is super busy, I called in early February to book Kelly for my wedding but she was already taken! No worries though. Kelly asked if I would be willing to work with her very talented staff. Of course I said yes. I did a trial run with Karen and she was awesome. She truly understood my Asian features (i.e. small eyes, pale skin tone) and made sure to enhance them. She also took extra care to make sure that my makeup looked natural but not too dark so that it wouldn't show up in pictures. On my wedding day, Karen and Kelly's other makeup staff person, Leann showed up right on time. Leann did a fantastic job on all of my bridesmaids. Even when my maid of honor decided she wanted to change her hair because she didn't like her down do, Leann immediately fixed it and gave her a fantastic up do. She was really fun to work with - laughing and making jokes with all of us as one of her favorite movies played on tv. It was a great time! By the time Karen and Leann were finished, it was 1 PM (they started at 9 AM). My makeup and hair remained flawless throughout the night with very few touch ups because of the high quality of products they used. If you're looking for a top makeup and hair person, I highly recommend Kelly and her staff! Book early as she gets very busy. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Kelly, Karen, and Leann for making me and my bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang is absolutely amazing. I used to work for Chanel cosmetics, and often do wedding makeup myself...so my standards are pretty high. She exceeded all my expectations. I also have problem/sensitive skin, and her products did not aggravate my skin. Kelly is a pro...and especially talented with Asian makeup, which is a definite skill! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang and her team was so great! They did such a perfect job for me and my bridesmaid in the very limited time that we had. The makeup and hair was exactly what I wanted, and I still felt like myself. Kelly even placed individual fake eye lashes for me. And the make up lasted the whole 8 hours!




Love...love...LOVE Kelly & Co.!
I hadn't even met her in person and I loved her! I booked her before I had my trial and she was just so calm and relaxed, even on my wedding day. I felt gorgeous on my Big Day--although (in my opinion) I looked completely different, my make-up felt light and my hair extenstion felt great! (I actually felt like Beyonce in all her fabulous-ness!)
The majority of my 10 bridesmaids used her team for their hair and just loved all their looks. Those that got their make-up done all commented how natural the products felt on their face. Her prices were excellent for the quality of work they do!
Kelly and her team arrived 30 minutes early (4:30am!) and were ready to work--no sleepy eyes and tireness. They were all very professional and so easy to work with.
I am SO lucky to have had the pleasure of having Kelly & Co. on our Big Day and would bok her again in an instant! Not to mention recommend anyone else who's in need of an amazing beauty team!
GUEST




Kelly is an expert at what she does, and she makes all her brides feel and look spectacular on their wedding day. She is professional, understands the nuances/personalities of large wedding parties and provides a source of relaxation and comfort for her brides. She and her team are just wonderful to work with and DEFINITELY worth the price.
GUEST




Kelly is very talented and her team are very good at hair and makeup. I felt beautiful on my wedding day despite having very little sleep that whole week. She made me look very refreshing and although I cried the whole day during my wedding, my makeup still last very well (with minor touch up at night time). My bridesmaids and mom also looked amazing. I will go back to Kelly and her team for future makeup and hair needs.
GUEST




I was so worried about the "beauty" part when I planned my wedding because I don't know anything about makeup nor hair, and Kelly found me a perfect make-up artist - Karen that eased my stress.I never wear makeup, so I was hoping for something simple that I won't be so concious about myself & Karen just did a GREAT job. She was very detail oriented and made sure everything was done perfectly. During the make-up & hair trial, Kelley & her tried to make sure that I was pleased with the result & also gave me some advises on what kind of hair style I should keep, so it would look better on my wedding day...I loved what Karen did for me on my wedding, and I believe every makeup artist in Kelly Zhang Makeup/Hair Studio would give you a perfect look that you'd love on your wedding day!
GUEST




The Kelly Zhang team did mine and my bridesmaids make up and hair for my wedding and i absolutely loved how it turned out! I looked exactly like my trial session but better! My bridesmaids also loved the way their hair and make up turned out!! The team is so professional and even showed up earlier than the scheduled time, which i loved!! Kelly replied to all of my emails no later than a day after i sent them. She helped make my day stress free! I recommend everyone to Kelly Zhang Hair and Makeup Team! They will definitely make you more than happy with the outcome!




From the moment I met Kelly at her studio in Pasadena for my makeup trial, I knew she was awesome! I booked her right away for my wedding and everybody looked gorgeous! The bridal party & mothers looked amazing and I received a ton of compliments on my hair & makeup on our special day. Kelly and Helen were prompt and even called to give me an update in the morning. They were both so fun to talk to and were very calming in the "getting ready" room. Kelly is a true pro and knows exactly how to stay on schedule and time everything perfectly. The touchup kit came in handy too after all the hug/hug, kiss/kiss, cry/cry. =D I only wish I could have used her for my engagement session too. When it comes to hair & makeup (especially asian makeup), Kelly & her team are the best in the business!
GUEST




For all you brides to be out there, you guys will regret not having Kelly Zhang and her team to beautify you and your bridal party on your big day!! Let me just say that I actually went through 2 long and dreadful trials from other artists prior to having a trial with Kelly. Unlike the other 2 artists I had trials with, Kelly actually listened and followed through. She put my nerves at ease and calmed me down as I rambled about my worries and stresses. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I expect my hair and makeup portion of the day to be relaxing and soothing and Kelly definitely made me feel just that during our trial. The other artists I had trials with kept trying to force colors and styles on me that I clearly did not want..As for Kelly, she went over pictures and color suggestions with me so that we could be on the same page. She was not forceful at all. As it came close to finishing up, you could definitely tell why Kelly is rated such highly. She goes above and beyond to cater to you because she UNDERSTANDS that it's your wedding day. That's extremely important for me. On our wedding day (August 21,2010) Kelly arrive early to set up and got right to work! She even gave me a call the night before to check up on me! Just little things like that puts me at ease and it comforts me to know that she's dedicated and won't flake at the last minute. She takes care of her clients! Book Kelly and do it now!! You won't regret it one bit!!Oh, and her chic and antique studio wasn't too shabby either! It actually gave me ideas on how to decorate my room! =)
GUEST




Attention all brides-to-be: book Kelly Zhang for your make-up and hair and YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Kelly did my make-up for my engagement session and my make-up and hair for my wedding day. Everything was flawless and lasted ALL DAY!I did a lot of online research, read reviews, compared prices, and even did a trial with another vendor because Kelly was only available from 6-8am on my wedding day (but my wedding was at 4pm). I could've saved a lot of stress, time, and money if I had just stuck with my instinct and booked Kelly earlier! I contacted her again and booked her for 6-8am on my wedding day. She arrived at my hotel room a little before 6am, made both me and my mom feel comfortable while she worked (even though it was so early in the morning), and finished my hair and make-up before 8am. My wedding ceremony didn't begin until 4pm, but my make-up and hair stayed intact throughout the entire day (even through sweat and tears). Basically, Kelly is amazing and works magic!No matter what type of wedding you are having, this is the one vendor that I recommend for every bride. My only advice is to book her early and you will not regret it!
GUEST




I was a very satisfied bride! Choosing the best make up artist was my second priority behind finding the perfect dress. Kelly Zhang was the first make up artist I tried, and I KNEW that she did a fabulous job, but I couldn't pull the trigger when I hadn't had any other trials. I booked appointments with a few other makeup artists, but I quickly figured out that Kelly was the best at applying my make up the way I envisioned it. Luckily when I contacted Kelly she was still available on my wedding date. I wanted a glamorous look with a smokey eye and Kelly did just that - the blending was the best I'd ever seen on myself. Kelly was also very patient with the many requests and questions from my group and we all really appreciated that. She was great to work with and brought a good vibe to the whole day. I recommended Kelly to a girlfriend of mine that was getting married a few months after me and I will continue to recommend her because she just flat out did a fabulous job. No complaints from me and really nothing but praise for her and her team.




Kelly, Kelly, Kelly...I literally could go on and on for days about how fabulous Kelly and her team are. They are true masters at what they do and make any gal feel her absolute bridal best!
I actually worked with Miz Kelly on three occasions- once for my engagement party, once for my engagement photos, and, of course, for my wedding. We did a different look each time (low do, hair down, updo- respectively) and she nailed- NAILED- each one. I absolutely would not have changed a thing. Her makeup was flawless and stayed on the entire duration of each event. It never felt heavy or overdone- just classic and enhancing. Somehow she took my minimal direction and translated my image into reality. I always felt like we were on the same page. She was excellent at playing up my good features and equally talented at hiding the not-so-beautiful ones. In the week up to the wedding, I was stressed, didn't drink enough water and broke out all over my face. Despite the ginormous, Everest-sized zits, Kelly was able to make me feel great about myself and covered those suckers up skillfully. It was like they weren't even there. In addition, I have a LOT of hair (prob about an inch and a half diameter in a ponytail) and Kelly's low do and updo stayed in all night long for each event. She really knew how to structure the design so that it prevented pulling or headaches and still looked fabulous.
On the day of the wedding, Kelly brought an assistant, Denise, and she was fabulous! All of my girls were really happy with their hair and makeup! I definitely had a stunning bridal party!
As for professionalism- Kelly is about as legit as they come. Emails were answered promptly, she was always on time if not early, and hair and makeup on the wedding day ran on time (so important!). She's so genuine and every compliment she gives you seems so earnest and from the heart- even if you have any self esteem issues, Kelly has a way of making you feel like a super model! Seriously! I enjoyed every moment of being around her and my experience with Kelly was a complete joy! I highly, highly recommend her!
*oh, and just as a side note- Kelly is also incredibly talented with more mature faces. She did the makeup for my mother on two occasions (engagement party and wedding) and my mom looked absolutely fabulous. Sometimes, older women with too much makeup end up looking like they're trying too hard, but Kelly is a master at subtlety. My mom looked fresh, age-appropriate, and absolutely stunning. And she loves Kelly, too!
GUEST




Kelly is amazingly talented and also very friendly and professional. I really enjoyed having her do my hair and makeup and it looked soooo beautiful! She and one of her girls came to my hotel room and did hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honor, and my mom. They also did hair on 2 other bridesmaids and my stepdaughter. They were on time and on schedule, were quite quick for the quality of everything. All of my girls were happy and everyone looked beautiful. Cannot recommend her more!




"KELLY I LOVE YOU!!" This is the one and only thing I want to say to her every time when I see her. I met Kelly when I went to a trial with my friend two years ago and I saw what a great job she did for my friend's hair/make up so I said to myself that I will definitely book her for my own wedding. A year later, I was engaged, and the first vendor I booked without hesitation was Kelly! She's very responsive, not to mention, extremely friendly and helpful to your needs. She is never rude to her clients (listening to her on the phone with other clients) and she always respects what you want. But believe me, you want to TRUST HER with all your heart if you want to be a hot bride. :)
She arrived promptly on my wedding day and of course did an amazing job on my hair and make-up. I showed her some pictures of the hair styles I like, and she did exactly what I had in mind! Also, I was looking for an earthy-toned make-up so I don't look like I'm going to clubbing after the wedding - Kelly did a wonderful job so I looked gorgeous even without the smokey-eye make-up. :) In addition, I really appreciate the fact that she took the extra mile to do touch-up for my mom and my mother-in-law. She didn't have to do this (especially she has another wedding to run to from Newport Beach to Pasadena!) so when she did, I was absolutely grateful.
I love it how she is able to enhance your positive features and improve (or cover up) the negative. I was really worried about my eye brows not being the way I like - but Kelly managed to do an excellent job on my brows! I was really happy on my wedding day and very satisfied with her work. I received numerous compliments from all my guests the entire night. Everyone told me that I look absolutely stunning! I know that people say brides are ALWAYS beautiful, but believe me, Kelly will make sure NO ONE is hotter than you on your big day. :)
Kelly! Thank you so much for making me the happiest/most beautiful bride on my wedding day! :)
GUEST




Professional & friendly. I am very happy with the service. Thank you!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Kelly is an amazingly talented hair and make-up artist. I was so nervous about not "looking like myself" or just not totally loving my look on my big day. Kelly is so good at sizing up your personal style, and coming up with a look that fits you perfectly. She did my hair and make-up for both my wedding and engagement session, and not only did she make me feel like an A-list celebrity, both looks photographed so well! She also beautified other members of my bridal party, and all were thrilled with her work. Kelly is super sweet, very accommodating, completely professional, and always quick to respond to questions and concerns. Kelly, if you are reading this- I can't thank you enough!!!

Kelly Zhang team are the BEST!Before my wedding, I went did so many trials with different artists. They are either make me super pale or make me look like I have a bad tan. Kelly is the only artist that can achieve the look I want. She make me flawless! On the wedding day, Kelly and her crew came on time, very professional! I felt very relaxed and enjoy my makeup time with kelly. My bridesmaid are usually very picky, but on the wedding day, they love their makeup and hair done by Kelly's artist. Everyone love my makeup on my wedding day. Thank you Kelly for doing a such a great job! She become my new best friend!!
GUEST




I decided to do trials with 2 of my favorites makeup artist. I set up a trial with Kelly first. Kelly responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is very accommodating. At my trial day, She really takes her time and does not rush you. I ask for a brown smokey eyes, and she did a great job. It wasn't too overpowering, yet enough to make a statement. She is very good at blending and contouring the eyes. She is not afraid to try new things which gives you a wide range of different looks to choose from. Also, My hair is very flat, I’m still amazed how she did my hair with so much volume! i LOVE it! I had so much fun working with her at my trial,I actually cancelled my other makeup trial and have decided to go with her on my big day.On my wedding day, I ask her to come in at 6:00am, and she even came in early for us. she wants everything to be perfect. My make up stay fresh all day long. I got so much complements on my makeup and hair. Not only kelly outdid herself, but she was able to accommodate me with changes at the last minute. She definitely work well under pressure!Kelly is fun,sweet,very on time and professional. Its worth it every penny. 
Even my photographer she says my hair and makeup looked thousands times better than the bride in her last wedding shot.
GUEST




Picking a makeup artist was the one of the easiest wedding decisions I had to make thanks to Kelly. I don't wear makeup on a daily basis (just blush and a little eyeliner) and Kelly was very thoughtful about creating a natural look so I still felt like myself on my wedding day. Her false eyelashes (from her own line) are awesome! She also did my bridesmaids and the mother's makeup and everyone looked great! My mom (who doesn't EVER wear makeup) looked AMAZING and absolutely loved Kelly. I would recommend Kelly to anyone :) Hint: book in advance!




I went to Kelly for both my engagement session and for my wedding day. She did a wonderful job on both events. I loved the way my hair and make up looked! I never felt more beautiful. Kelly is also very punctual, personable, and great at what she does. My bridesmaids and family members were very pleased with the way their hair and make up turned out as well. I would recommend Kelly to anyone getting married!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang studios is a must for any bride wanting to look and feel absolutely gorgeous. Mikeo, one of the artists, and an assistant did my bridesmaid and my makeup. It looked flawless. We just got our HD video back yesterday and the makeup looks even better on film. I thought my makeup was perfect, but it was so nice to have friends and family tell me that my makeup, not only looked beautiful, but was very natural looking too. I just looked like a more glowing version of myself.The girls from Kelly Zhang are prompt, professional, and fabulous.I am so glad they could do my event.
GUEST




I used Kelly and her team for my engagement session and my wedding (May 2010), and would use her over and over again if I ever need a hair and makeup artist! I have been a bridesmaid 4 times, and each time, I have never been completely satisfied with my hair and makeup. I never wear makeup, so each time I felt like the artists made me look like a doll with a lot of makeup, rather than using makeup to bring out natural features. Kelly, on the other hand, knows how to use makeup in a way that brings out your natural beauty in a way that makes you look your absolute best while also making you feel completely comfortable. I really cannot say enough for her talent and how much time and care she devotes to her clients. She also genuinely enjoys what she does, and her personality makes your wedding day just that much more fantastic. She and her team are the utmost professionals - they are prompt, and very responsive to your questions, and communications before the wedding day. I cannot say enough good things! Thank you to Kelly + team for making my day fabulous!




Kelly and her team are awesome. Kelly and her team showed up early on the wedding day and started right away on the MOG and MOB. They were very easy to work with and talk to and the MOG and MOB were in perfect hands. She finished everyone's makeup early and even helped me get into my dress.
I received so many compliments from everyone at the wedding. Thank you Kelly and team!




Kelly Zhang did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my engagement photos. Unfortunately she was already booked to do my hair and makeup for the wedding. Karen did a wonderful job as well. I would highly recommend them. FYI book Kelly early if you really want her.
GUEST




Kelly is just about the best investment any bride can make on her wedding day! she's a true miracle worker! I have tiny eyes, poor skin complexion, and thick stubbornly straight hair!!! Kelly made my eyes look HUUUGE, my skin look FLAWLESS and curled my stubbornly straight hair (AND i have a TON of hair - and my style was half up half down....so everything had to be curled!!!) and to top it all off.....everything lasted all night!!! She's amazing!!! will DEFINATELY be going back to take her makeup lessons!!! as i definately need help in that area!!!
GUEST




I used Karen, Kelly's lead make up artist. Upon hearing that Kelly was booked the day of my wedding, she told me what that her asst was available. I was a little hestitant but after the trial and after my wedding day, i am over the moon with her services. I have no regrets about anything that had to do with how i looked the wedding day. when you feel stunning, it shows. And i received soo many compliment about my hair and makeup!! i even asked her to change my hair and makeup a little bit after the trial and she happily obliged. It was great! i just wished she stayed with me all day but she does give a touch kit to take away with me for the entire day. you wont regret booking this vendor. the before and after shots on the website are pretty accurate of what the girls are capable of.

Kelly is best vendor I had for my wedding. She is there on time and did a wonderful job on me and my bridesmaid!
I found out Kelly at my best friend's wedding 2 years ago. I was falling in love with her work ever since! She is a very sweet person and her team is very professional!




Kelly and her team were amazing! I booked her first for a trial and loved the results. She listened to what I had to say, but made suggestions as well on what she thought would look good.
On the big day, Kelly and Jenny showed up on time (5:30am!) and they did a wonderful job for me and my bridesmaids. They were professional, easy to talk to and helped me to not feel so nervous about everything. Everyone was happy with the end results and I received so many compliments on my hair and make up. Kelly is very skilled at what she does and knows a lot about make up and what will look flattering on each individual.
She also packed a touch up kit which came in handy. About 2 weeks after the wedding, I also received a thank you card and a note pad, which I thought was really sweet. I would definitely book her again if I ever need to get hair and make up done. I highly recommend her to any brides in Southern California :)
GUEST




Kelly is THE BEST! She's totally friendly and low-key, and knows exactly what she is doing. She did a great hair and makeup trial for me, then did the makeup for our engagement photos, which came out great. On the wedding day, she did hair and makeup for me, plus makeup for the two moms and my grandma. All of this work called for a wide range of looks, and Kelly was able to come up with perfect, flattering makeup for each. Everybody loved how they looked (it's a month after the wedding and my 87-year-old grandmother can't stop talking about it!), and our makeup held up until the end of the night without a problem. I would highly recommend Kelly's services to anyone.
GUEST




I loved my hair and makeup. She also did my bridesmaid's hair and makeup and it also turned out perfect. She was on time and had all of us done and ready by tea time. =) Kelly was on the ball with exactly what I wanted at my trial run and replicated it on my actual day. Now whenever my friends are in need of a hair and make up team, my first and only recommendation is Kelly. Thank you!!!!
GUEST




I've had a really wonderful experience with Kelly and her team. I had very bad experience with other makeup artist. But Kelly did a great job on me. I loved it! Kelly truly felt like my close friends with me on my wedding day. She is there in a very early morning, She is patience and calmness in dealing with the ordinary wedding stresses. I want to thank them for doing such a great job and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for talented makeup artists.
GUEST




Absolutely love Kelly! She is great and she does amazing work! I did a practice session but on the day of the wedding I asked for a couple makeup changes, which she did perfectly. It was exactly what I wanted and my makeup lasted all night long!! Would absolutely recommend Kelly.
GUEST




I love and enjoy with working with kelly and her team! They arrived on time for my wedding day. Make all of us look the best. I highly recommend her and think she is sooo worth the money!
GUEST




Kelly is best! Her work speak for herself! She did my makeup and hair for my wedding in Nov. 

After so many researching , I decided to do trials with 2 of my favorites makeup artist. I set up a trial with Kelly first. Kelly responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is very accommodating. At my trial day, She really takes her time and does not rush you. I ask for a brown smokey eyes, and she did a great job. It wasn't too overpowering, yet enough to make a statement. She is very good at blending and contouring the eyes. She is not afraid to try new things which gives you a wide range of different looks to choose from. Also, My hair is very flat, I’m still amazed how she did my hair with so much volume! i LOVE it! I had so much fun working with her at my trial,I actually cancelled my other makeup trial and have decided to go with her on my big day.On my wedding day, I ask her to come in at 6:00am, and she even came in early for us. she wants everything to be perfect. My make up stay fresh all day long. I got so much complements on my makeup and hair. Not only kelly outdid herself, but she was able to accommodate me with changes at the last minute. She definitely work well under pressure! Kelly is fun,sweet,very on time and professional. Its worth it every penny. 
Even my photographer she says my hair and makeup looked thousands times better than the bride in her last wedding shot.

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.
GUEST




Kelly and her team did both my engagement photo and wedding day makeup and hair. I was complimented more on those days/photos than I have ever been in my life. My husband, who's kind of unexpressive, told me I looked amazing. :) But most importantly, I felt beautiful and loved the way I looked. She was accommodating to meet me wherever I wanted to get ready for both sessions, easy to talk to and work with and a great person to do business with. I was so happy I went with Kelly. Go to her website and look at her before and after photos. She's magical!
GUEST




Kelly Zhang did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and make up on my wedding day!!! Kelly knew exactly the look I wanted, and she also gave really helpful recommendations on what would and wouldn't work. I received so many compliments on how beautiful my hair and make up was the entire day. I first met Kelly and her team when I was a bridesmaid; they did an excellent job on the whole bridal party. In fact, I've seen Kelly do a few friends' hair and makeup now and, each time, she did a wonderful job and the girls always looked so gorgeous. Kelly Zhang is very talented, extremely professional, responsive to emails/telephone calls, super friendly, and really cares about how the bride wants to look. I have and continue to recommend her services to all my family and friends.
GUEST




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!!!
GUEST




Kelly's team (my hair and make-up artist was Marie and Mieko was the assistant artist for my bridesmaids). They did a awesome job. Most importantly, they were there on time and making sure we liked the job they've done. I highly recommend Kelly Zhang's make up and hair services to my friends who are getting married.
GUEST




Kelly & her team are the best! Prior to the wedding I had Kelly do my extensions twice because I always wanted to have long hair for my engagement pics & my wedding. She did a really good job & they were a really good deal! Kelly did my makeup for my engagement photos & it looked so beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted...very natural yet pretty. Kelly is just an all around cool person, super easy to talk to & very talented. Karen did my hair & makeup for the wedding day & Jennie & her did the hair & makeup for my wedding party & mom. Every single girls hair & makeup turned out beautiful. Very glamorous yet not too over the top. I loved my hair & makeup & am still getting compliments on how it turned out. If you can book with Kelly & her teams!! But do it ASAP because they book up fast!
GUEST




If you are looking for a hair & makeup artist, KELLY ZHANG MAKEUP is your right choice. My day-of hair & makeup artist was Marie and she's great & punctual (trust me, this is very important. you dont want your makeup artist to be late on your big day!)! She was also very creative when doing my bridesmaids' hair since not all of them have same length of hair.If you are like me, who is indecisive, you can always count on her for great advice! For example, I didn't want to have the typical hair updo. I wanted to have part of my hair down on my shoulder. But of course I didn't want to "blend" in with my bridesmaids either. So she has suggested to have all my bridesmaids pushed their hair to one side. Kelly is always very helpful and very fast in replying emails/phone calls.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (especially you are looking for the perfect yet natural look)Note: If you want to book Kelly, you better book one year in advance before her schedule gets booked up!
GUEST




Kelly did my makeup for the wedding and it was absolutely flawless and amazing. She is awesome at what she does and can make anyone look and feel like a million dollars. I am so thrilled I chose Kelly to do my makeup and it looked incredible on my big day. She also gives you a cute little bag for touch ups to use throughout the day. She made me, my mom and my bridal party look stunning!
GUEST




I absolutely loved how Kelly did my wedding makeup and hair! It turned out looking so natural and flawless and my makeup and hair stayed on ALL DAY. My wedding ceremony started at 11 am so Kelly and her team (she brought 2 assistants to help with mothers + bridesmaids) arrived on time at 5:45 AM. They were easy to get along with and made everyone feel very comfortable and pampered. Even one of my bridesmaids who usually hates putting on makeup loved the whole experience.The planning process was very smooth and easy as Kelly knew exactly what I wanted after showing her a few photos. Since I am from out of town, a trial session was not possible but it didn't matter - everything came out EXACTLY how I wanted. Kelly was very responsive to emails/phone calls and made it very stress-free.One of my BMs liked Kelly's work so much she is considering using her for her own wedding next year. I would highly recommend Kelly and her team to anyone wishing to look stunning on any special occassion!
GUEST




You won't regret hiring Kelly Zhang! Trust me, I did TONS of research when looking for my hair and makeup artists for my wedding, and Kelly and her team are not only VERY talentend, but SO well priced!! My maid of honor said she's never loved her makeup as much as she did that day. And mine was fabulous! Kelly is so sweet and will always listen to your opinion. I am an actress and have had my makeup done by many professionals, so I have high standards, and Kelly was AWESOME.
GUEST




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.
GUEST




I hired Marie for my wedding day, and she did an incredible job! She did my hair and makeup as well as my sister-in-law and one of the bridesmaids, it all looked fantastic! Both makeup and hair stayed put all day and night (I had my hair up in a lose bun). I was so surprised my bun didn't fall out after all the dancing, but it was secured with tons and tons of pins. Best of all, my hair and makeup looked really natural, which was important to me and my husband. Everyone commented on what a great job she did!
GUEST




I am so happy I found Kelly Zhang Makeup online. I had a trial session for my hair and makeup and was SO pleased. My hair and makeup for the day-of turned out beautifully and I received many compliments! :) It is a bit on the pricey side, but it was nice that they came to us at the hotel where we were getting ready and were prompt and professional. Beautiful work.
GUEST




I loved her!!! Kelly Zhang's makeup studio did my bridal makeup and after my trial session, all of my bridesmaids wanted to work with her too. I was referred to her by a friend of a friend which should already say a lot since my friend gushed about her without ever actually having experienced working with her! I'm not someone that normally puts on a lot of makeup so I didn't really know how to express what I wanted with my makeup. I worked with one of Kelly's makeup artists, Jessica C - she was so professional and with only a minimal amount of information about what I wanted for my wedding, she made me look so flawless! I couldn't even tell I had makeup on except for the fact that she covered all the imperfections. I even had my mother come with me on the day of so they could do her make up as well. My mom has not had professional makeup applied since her own wedding almost 30 years ago. She was so nervous but after a couple of minutes in the chair was already so comfortable that she was telling them what she wanted. And she looked so beautiful!!I TOTALLY recommend Kelly Zhang and her makeup staff! They were really flexible with working with my schedule that kept changing (brides, I know huh). Jessica even followed up with me after my wedding to make sure everything worked out well. LOVE love!!
GUEST




Kelly is just AWESOME!!! Every bride wants to look natural yet stunning on their wedding day- she does just that. She is able to apply makeup on and make you look like yourself but yet better without caking on 10 lbs of makeup. I got so many compliments about my makeup as well as my hair- the curls stayed in day!!! She is so very easy to work with- always so responsive via email or phone call. I would refer her to any bride of anyone who needs their makeup and hair done. 5 stars!!! Kelly Zhang- thank you for being such a greater vendor! It was my pleasure to have you as a part of our special day. I hope to see you again for other special events from here on...
GUEST




I hired Kelly Zhang to do my wedding hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup of 3 of my bridesmaids and my mom. She and her assistant, Rachel, did a BEAUTIFUL job! You can tell they are truly experts in how to bring out someone's beauty in a very natural way. She didn't cake on the makeup; rather, she highlighted the beauty of our faces. We all got compliments on how we looked without looking "not ourselves."Even from hiring her, Kelly was flexible and so nice about everything. Because of others changing their minds around, I had to keep changing plans with Kelly, but she did her best to meet my needs without giving any sort of attitude. When I finally met her, she was bubbly and just excited for me, making me feel like a longtime friend!For my trial, Kelly listened to all my requests, but also gave some of her own opinions/suggestions. I'm so glad she did! She really knows what she's doing and wants you to look your best on the wedding day.She was above our budget, especially since the trial doesn't come with the package, but Kelly's work is exceptional, and not at all as expensive as other artists out there. You'll see that she has a great reputation in the LA area, and always comes highly recommended. I'm glad I listened to my friends/family's recommendations to hire her!
GUEST




Kelly is amazing. She is a true artist. She did my hair and makeup for my May 2011 wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with how I looked. She and her team were fun to work with, and they are very flexible. You can give her a lot of direction, or let her have free rein--either way you will be thrilled with the outcome :) I would highly recommend Kelly to any bride-to-be!
GUEST




I booked Jennie for my hair and makeup trial and Jennie, Jessica, and LeAnn for my wedding day. Jennie was so great at the trial session - I love her energy. Then on my wedding day, her energy was great on what started out as a gloomy looking day weather-wise, yet she had a calmness about her that helped me with wedding-day jitters. She was great, and Jessica and LeAnn who I met for the first time that day were also really great. All 3 were so professional and nice, very easy to work with. The work they produced was also so beautiful. I had some changes from my trial, which Jennie was able to fix to my liking. All my girls and the mothers looked fabulous. I would highly recommend booking these ladies!
GUEST




My lead makeup artist was Marie and her work was absolutely flawless. She was very responsive to what I wanted and really understood my vision for the wedding. On the wedding day, Marie was joined by Claudia and they did an amazing job on everyone's hair and makeup. All nine people (3 bridesmaids, 2 moms, 2 grandmas, me (the bride), and my brother's girlfriend) looked great the entire day.My only minor issue was that sometimes Kelly was not always accessible or quick to respond. She is incredibly busy and I think she is starting to shift some of the client responsibilities to some of her associates, which I think will help her ability to reach her clients.Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely use Kelly Zhang again




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.




I had a very good experience with Kelly. My consultation was very relaxed and she really listened to what I like and don't like. She also showed me a couple of different looks so that I would have a better idea. On my wedding day she was on time, quick, and did a great job. My three bridesmaids also really liked the job she and her assistant did. My makeup and hair lasted ALL day! She came to my parents' house early in the morning. It was a very hot September day and our makeup stay put. My sister is a hair dresser and was very happy with Kelly's work.
The only reason I didn't give her four stars is because she was not very clear as to her availability that day. We had talked about them coming at a certain time during the consultation but she later told me she had to come earlier because she had another wedding she was doing that day. In the end in all worked out, though. Thank you, Kelly!




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 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




When I started inquiring about Kelly's services I told her exactly what I wanted and even brought pictures for one of her team member's Karen who she sent in her place to do my hair and make-up for my Oct. 2009 wedding. When Karan was done working on me I didn't feel to sure about how she had done my make-up. I asked for dark and dramatic since that is how I normally do my make-up. Well she did the opposite, even though I told her and brought in examples. I just received my wedding photos back from my photographer and I hate them. I look HORRIBLE!!! I look completely washed out. I read all these great reviews, looked at previous brides who had their make-up done and they all looked great...Guess when it came to me Karen was not interested in how I wanted to look on my wedding day. Worst mistake I made hiring them for such an important day in my life. I should have done my own make-up to be honest, I would have done a much better job and I have not had any make-up schooling like these girls say they do. Now I am stuck with these pictures forever and it's the worst i've ever looked. I was suppose to feel beautiful for this one day and I did not. I looked terrible. Thank you for your services!
Vendor response to review
Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your makeup.
Again, I would like to reiterate the importance of the trial session. Without a trial, it is very difficult for us to achieve exactly what the bride wants on the first try.
At Kellyzhang, all of our artists are made aware how important it is to serve the clients on their wedding day without a trial. Karen, being one of our most experienced artists, knew this very well by heart. Karen was very accommodating and paid close attention to the bride’s needs. She is required by our strict standard to ask for bride’s approval of the makeup before she left, and she did.
The bride did ask for strong makeup. We usually started by light makeup first and will gradually make it heavier according to the bride’s preference. It is easier to go from light to dark, but not vice versa. Again, for all the future brides to be, we recommend having a trial session with your makeup artist on the most important date of your life.
P.S. I have seen the how well your wedding photo shoot came out. You DID look stunning and beautiful. Besides, it is very similar to the samples you brought to Karen. I stood by Karen’s work. Again, I would like to apologize it did not turn out the way you wanted.
Hi Kelly,
This is way past due but I just wanted to write and thank you for saving my big day back on October 3. I called in a panic when the hair and makeup artist I hired called me minutes before she was supposed to start to say that she was sick! You called me back right away to tell me that Mieko was on her way, heading straight down from LA even though she had just finished another wedding party with a 3:00 am start! I'm sure that you know how important a bride's appearance is to her on her wedding day and I am just so grateful that I still had your contact info in my email (I had hoped to hire you months before for my wedding but you were booked). Mieko was extremely professional. She lugged her makeup case up to the third floor, unpacked, and got to work immediately. My hair and makeup turned out beautifully and lasted perfectly all night.
Mieko asked my mom to send her a few photos of her work. Here are the amazing results. Please tell her how thankful I am that she was able to make me so beautiful on my wedding day!

If you're an Asian femme who needs hair and makeup, call Kelly!
I don't know about you, but I've had people put makeup on me that was really meant for white people with big eyelids. It just doesn't work.
Kelly knows the Asian face. She's an artist with some amazing skills.
I said, "Make my eyes look bigger." and she did it. I loved the makeup and hair she did for me. She's energetic and fun in person, and she'll come to your location.

Karen is awesome! We did a trial for my wedding and what a transformation! for the better, of course! She is very patient and on time (I was a bit late) and really make my eye pop. Can't wait for my wedding day!

http://www.yelp.com/biz/kelly-zhang-makeup-and-hair-team-pasadena
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!

Kelly is absolutely fantastic. Can't say enough great things about her and her work. Kelly is extremely professional and proficient in her craft. I used Kelly's services for my own wedding and constantly recommend my brides that I work with to her. Why would anyone go anywhere else? Contact her asap and let her work her magic.
Working with Kelly and her Makeup/Hair Team makes my job as a photographer so much easier. I know that if Kelly is working with them that the bride and bridesmaids will be flawless and beautiful. Thank you for such a great service.
