Reviews for Susie Chhuor Professional Hair and Makeup Team
Just had my trial session with Susie and i loooved her work!!
Booked her on the spot =)
Susie isnt heavy-handed and the products she uses are not cakey and photograph well. Susie's rates are affordable and she is just about brighter than sunshine in personality.
My fiance was at the trial with me - and he was really impressed with Susie's work. After my trial, we went to my fmil's house, and she commented on how great the makeup was...
Products used for my trial:
Smashbox primer
Makeup Forever base foundation
MAC eyeshadows
Prescriptives and MAC lips
--------------------------STAY TUNED FOR DAY OF REVIEW--------------------------
At the very last minute, I was able to book Susie (based on the recs of PW) for my wedding. Fortunately she was able to accommodate me and my bridesmaids 75 minutes out of town at literally the break of dawn. Since we did not have a trial run nor spoke on the phone, I met Susie and her team for the first time that morning. They got to our hotel in a punctual manner and quickly started setting up their workspaces. Susie and her team were very friendly and worked diligently. If I wanted to change something, she willingly obliged. We were able to achieve the look I wanted for myself, my bridesmaids and flower girls. Susie's work is excellent for her affordable price. The only thing I noticed was that my already oily face became more oily as the day went on which I didn't expect but I had blotting papers so it was alright. This could've probably been prevented with a trial run. Either way, if your a bride with a budget, check Susie and her team out.
Susie was great to work with! I used her services for wedding day, trash the dress/trial, as well as boudoir. She is so sweet, gives ample suggestions and feedback, and was very affordable! We went through a few looks and trials - and she dealt with my fear of too much makeup - until I was happy. I booked her for myself as well as my mom and a few bridesmaids. Everyone looked gorgeous and was very happy with her and her team's services! She was also very accommodating - I had a lot of hair/makeup service requests from family guests after they were done with the bridal party, and she was able to provide her services to as many as she could. =) I have a picky family when it comes to makeup - and they've never been happier with wedding makeup.
Thank you, Susie - you have a great team and provide great service!
SUSIE IS INCREDIBLE!!! Not only is she an incredibly talented professional, but she's a great person. We had 2 hours to get ready for an 11am wedding and she and her assistant were calm and able to breeze through my hair and makeup as well as 2 bridesmaids and my Mother without batting an eyelash. Everyone looked amazing and I'm still getting compliments on my hair & makeup from that day. Everyone who worked with them were happy. Susie was so friendly at the trial that I was hesitant to make any adjustments, however, she is an absolute perfectionist and took my subtle notes and ran with them. My hair & makeup on the day of the wedding was STUNNING and even better than I could have imagined. Thank you Susie for your amazing talent, sweet personality, and on top of all of that, THE MOST REASONABLE PRICES I COULD FIND IN LA! BOOK HER WHILE SHE'S STILL AFFORDABLE!
PS, I also want to mention that Susie's makeup felt very light, in fact I forgot I was wearing it and it stayed on perfectly all day. She also gave me a great little touch-up kit that I didn't end up needing until the honeymoon ;-) ...also, she's the first hair person that's understood how to work with my crazy curly hair.
Susie has the best personality and is very professional, attentive, and AFFORDABLE.
I had a hair & makeup trial with her and, though I loved her personality, I was not happy with either my makeup or hair. She's just starting out in the wedding business so some of her technique is still shaky. She did an amazing job of giving me flawless looking skin but she taped my eyes crookedly and cut off a chunk of my real lashes when she was trimming the false lashes. When I emailed her about this she offered a solution but never came through.
I brought pictures of the hair style I wanted and she had a hard time replicating it. It turned out sloppy and looked like something I attempted myself.
All in all, you get what you pay for. Her pricing is very reasonable so give her a try as she is a sweetheart & really listens to your concerns. She keeps you informed about what she's doing throughout the trial and welcomes feedback. She has probably done a lot more trials by now and so has probably improved her skills.
Vendor response to review
I am very sorry to hear that you were not pleased with either the hair or makeup trial. However, if this was the case then I wished that you would have expressed this to me so that we could have made changes. From my understanding you were very ecstatic after seeing yourself in the mirror and very happy and also expressed this happiness and joy after the trial session. If I had known that after you would go home and feel differently, then I would have appreciated it if I had received an email so that we can find something better to suit your needs. In addition, we went through 2-3 different hair styles and I tried to work with you and "replicate" the hair pictures that were brought in, but unfortunately, not everything can be replicated and is usually based on factors of hair texture, length, color, etc. I apologize for the work not looking clean and exact, but I explained that we would minimize the amount of products being used especially since we would be making various changes to the hair styles and thus wanted to preserve the texture. I also knew that we weren't able to hit the jackpot with what you were looking for so I offered you another free trial session to help the situation. In the end I am very sorry that things didn't turn out the way that we had hoped. I tried my best and had even offered you another trial session. I just wish that there was better communication and as you had mention I definitely welcome feedback and would have loved to hear what you had thought afterwards before posting a review and not giving me the chance to help you.
i trusted my gut instinct and hired Susie to do my makeup+hair for my engagement photo shoot without a trial session as i'm from the bay area but our shoot was in SoCal...and proved to myself that my gut instinct is right again!!! Susie is too AWESOME for words! she was attentive from the time i sent in my inquiry until i left her studio with impeccable makeup + hair. she listened to all of my concerns and what i wanted for my "look" and the end results were exactly what i had hoped for! she and i clicked from the get-go which made me feel comfortable for the whole session. i had to trust Susie's work from what i saw on her website & blog and she totally exceeded my expectations. i'm so very grateful to Susie for squeezing me in on a very hectic day, making me look & feel beautiful, and helping me to become even more excited for our engagement shoot!!
for the picky brides or brides who know what they want, you cannot go wrong w/ Susie so book her ASAP!!!
Since Susie was booked, one of her makeup artists Sunny did my hair and makeup for my trash the dress session. It took about 2 hours which I expected and I looked beautiful. I had such a great time with Sunny who made me feel at home. My face was flawless and smooth. My makeup lasted throught the photo shoot at the beach. I do recommend that you bring your own touch up lipstick or gloss since it will come off after a while. I brought my own so it worked out. Susie tried really hard to find one of her girls since I booked them last minute. Thanks!
My apologies on my late review. But I had a complimentary make-up session around winter of last year with Susie, and she was wonderful. I like how her make up enhances your features and natural beauty. Her makeup felt so light that it didn't feel like you had any on. She is one vendor that I can trust and recommend to other brides.
Susie is awesome! Affordable, timely, and great at what she does. After our initial meeting, she listened to all of my change requests, and implemented them on the day of the wedding. I asked for a natural look, and she did just that. She also made my mom very happy with her hairdo (a rarity, since she hates her curly hair!). My hair and makeup looked great for many hours. =)
Susie and her team did my hair and makeup, as well as my bridesmaids', for my wedding. I can't say enough good things about Susie, My hair and makeup looked amazing. The girls looked fabulous, too. We received tons of comments about how great we all looked. What I really liked was that Susie listened to what I wanted. Everyone said how classy and elegant our hair and makeup looked. We looked "made" up, but not in a way that made us look like ribbon on a package! Susie is very professional. She and her team arrived slightly early so they could set up. They had us all ready by the time the coordinator instructed them. I can't recommend Susie enough!
I just had my trial session with Susie the other day and I am very happy with the results and the experience. Susie was such a pleasure to work with, she let me ask all my crazy questions and she worked with what I wanted. Lots of times with hair and makeup I feel like you don't get to give your input and you end up with something you don't want. Susie was exactly the opposite, she wanted me to really enjoy the end result and to have it be exactly what I wanted. She also seems very relaxed and like she can deal with stressful situations (and people..haha!) very well. Her prices are very reasonable without sacrificing any quality.
I will be using her on my wedding day so I will write another review after that! I'm looking forward to her helping me make it a really special day!
__________________9/6/09 WEDDING DAY UPDATE!!!_________________
I just had my wedding this past Sunday and I can't say it enough...I LOVE SUSIE!!! She was one of my favorite venders. She was so calm and relaxed and tried to keep me that way too. She arrived early and she and her assistant were very professional. She even was able to accomodate an add on service the day of. I loved my hair and makeup, I didn't have any problems with it coming off or messing up. It was very HOT for the outdoor ceremony but I think it still stayed amazing (or maybe I was having too much fun to notice :) ) But I would reccomend Susie over and over again.
Additionally Susie did hair and makeup for the Moms, my sister and one bridesmaid. Both my sister and bridesmaids LOVED the way everything came out which is saying a lot because they they are definitely in the category of girls that never are happy with bridesmaid hair and makeup. I was happy that Susie was able to please them and I thought they looked amazing!!
I hope I have another opportunity to use her services again in the future. There is absolutely no need to spend more money elsewhere...SUSIE IS AWESOME!!
Susie was extremely professional, patient and talented. My daughter's wedding was planned via wedding websites and reviews like this... and we were so fortunate to find Susie. Even when my daughter, one week before the wedding "freaked" because she wasn't thrilled with the trial hair outcome (hair to short for the natural, beachy low bun that she had envisioned), Susie came through with a perfect hair style that exceeded her expectations. She did make up for the maids of honor, the MOB (me) and hair and makeup for the bride. and everything was natural and understated but with an elegant beautiful outcome. My daughter's step daughter- the flower girl, had appropriate "sparkles" and hair for an almost 4 year old. To say that I am happy with our choice of Susie is an understatement. The final cost included tips and 2 trial sessions-$600!All in all, great value!
I cant say enough wonderful things about Susie. She was such a pleasure to work with and did an amazing job on my wedding day. When we did my trial we had started with a low side pony but on the actual day ichanged my mind and it didnt seem to phase her at all. She made me look amazing! She is incredibly well organized, effecient, reasonably priced and a joy to be around. If I ever need to have my hair and makeup done again i will always use Susie. She's the best!!!
Susie Chhuor did hair & makeup for me and my bridal party last week for my wedding. Her work is amazing! Don't let her looks fool you. Although she looks young, she is very professional and experienced in both glamour, photo-shoot makeup as well as bridal makeup. She was at all times easily accessible by phone or email, on-time, and was very willing to work with my specific requests. She did a fabulous job in enhancing my features, and also has a lot of experience working with Asians. I received many compliments on both my hair and makeup. I highly recommend Susie!
Susie was amazing. She was very helpful being that I was unsure of what I wanted to do for my wedding. She did my hair for my wedding, along with my 5 bridesmaids, and hair and makeup for both of the "mothers." She did such an amazing job. I wish I could have hired her for everything because she was amazing! Unfortunatly when I met her I had already booked my makeup. Don't make the same mistake! You won't be sorry!
I found Susie Chhuor through an online search while looking for someone to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. I compared several companies in the Los Angeles area who had reasonable rates. I booked an appointment for a trial run with Jackie Jang. Before I went in, Susie asked me to email pictures of what kind of makeup and hair I wanted. I chose a sexy messy updo and Asian movie star look and I absolutely LOVED the results.
At my wedding at Castle Green Hotel in Pasadena, I had Jackie and her assistant work on location on four of my bridesmaids' hair and my mother's makeup. My bridesmaid's nationalities ranged from Filipino to Caucasian to African American, and they all had curly hair, in contrast to my straight long black hair. That is quite a range! Jackie and her assistant were incredibly versatile and were able to make everyone look AMAZING!
Susie Chhuor was very professional and upfront about all costs (it's posted on their website), so you don't have to worry about unexpected bills. Susie was very good about confirming everything that I wanted done and was prompt at responding to emails in case you have any questions.
On the day of my wedding, Jackie suggested putting white flowers in my hair because I didn't want a tiara and she was absolutely right to suggest it. The flowers worked beautifully. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup all day and for weeks afterwards! It all looked GORGEOUS! The hair and makeup lasted all night, well into the ten o'clock hour. Our wedding was the best party of my life. I highly recommend Susie Chhuor and Jackie to anyone who wants to look great for their special event without any worries or hesitation.
I was not happy with either my makeup or hair. I went with susie for a trial couple months ago based on the reviews of PW and because of her affordable price. The makeup didnt last!!! My fiance said the foundation is thick. My already oily face became oilier after the trail session as the day went on!!! It went out OK in the trail though. Her rate is definitely affordable, but you really get what you pay. She is very friendly, but I just think she needs to IMPROVE on her work!!!
Susie Is So Awesome. She Did My Makeup For A Photo Shoot Prior To My Wedding And I Looked Absolutely Gorgeous. Susie Is So Nice. She Works Very Fast And She Is Super Friendly. I Would DEFINITELY Used Her Again. If She Is Available For My Wedding I Will DEFINITELY Use Her.
So I am a very picky person when it comes to makeup. I've gotten by makeup done at other places for twice the price of what Susie charges and never fully was satisfied with the work. But first and foremost, Susie is very professional and also very polite. She informed me of every product that she used on me and also was extremely gentle. She let me know what she was doing which I really appreciated because in the past, I've had makeup "artists" just cake on makeup on me without letting me know how dark they were filling in my brows.
Susie also gave me very helpful skin advice. She asked me what face products I was using and explained why my skin was so dry and what changes I could make in producing healthier skin which would enhance my makeup.
She seemed to be very knowledgeable and also a down-to-earth, sweet person.I didn't feel awkward or uncomfortable at all and have received numerous compliments about my makeup from those who saw me that night and who have seen pictures.
I definitely recommend her! Prices are affordable, service is AMAZING, & makeup is professional!
Susie did my make-up for both engagment session and wedding. She did such a wonderful job and made me feel completely at ease. She has the type of personality that makes you feel like you've been old friends forever! I travelled all the way from San Diego for Miss Susie to do my makeup for our engagment shoot, and I loved the work she did so much that I booked her for my San Diego wedding as well! She's very talented and profesional. Thanks Susie!!
I loved how susie rocked the house. her personality was perfect and keep me in the moment. Loved the style and look for my makeup and hair. loved it.
I had a makeup/hair session with Susie for a wedding photoshoot. Susie was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. She made sure I was happy with the results and was willing to change anything that I wanted. I enjoyed my time with her - she made me feel extremely comfortable.
I would definitely go to Susie again for any makeup/hair needs. She is reasonably priced and the results were fabulous!
It was such a pleasure to work with Susie! She was extremely flexible and was able to work thru a power outrage and an additional bridesmaid. Plus, the convenience of her being able to come to my home was a great stress buster because I was able to finalize some last minute details while everyone got ready. Lastly, her work speaks for herself. Everyone looked great and we all received so many compliments that day! My make-up survived all day thru stress, tears, and lots of pictures. Thanks again!!
She was amazing! She is young and has a great business so good for her! I had an amazing wedding but there were a couple of things here and there from my vendors that I was unhappy with; Susie was the only vendor that I was 100% happy with. I looked B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L on my special day......everyone could not stop talking about it! She did an amazing job with my hair and makeup, I am still getting compliments on it through my pictures now. She was even able to do my moms hair and makeup last min. and work with new found wedding tan. I am so happy I picked Susie to do my hair and makeup for my wedding.
Susie is Great and her team is also amazing! Susie did my hair and make-up, and her team worked on my mom, MOH and two bridesmaids. All of my girls looked beautiful. Susie's team really listens and the girls were able to achieve the look they asked for. I liked the more natural look and Susie was able to make me up, without making me look like someone else. I felt comfortable in my hair and make up all day long. Make up stayed on all day, no touch ups needed (except for lips...) I'm glad I chose Susie and her team. She uses the finest make-up and is super fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend her to future brides. My advice for any bride when having hair and make-up done: Be vocal and specific on what you want done and it will be achieved with Susie & her team!
Susie and her team were AMAZING! I received so many compliments on my hair and make up! Also, I ended up crying like a big baby the whole night and my make up never ran at all! It looked just as good at 1045 as it did when she finished at 4:00. Her prices were very reasonable, 200 for the bride 100 for everyone else for both hair and make up.
My bridemaids and my and my husbands moms were totally satisfied, we could not have asked for more professional and friendly services.
I changed my mind about 100 times and Susie was so patient and helpful. Everything turned out beautiful, I highly recommend. :)
Susie is so awesome! I went for a trial session for my wedding and she nailed the look the first time. On my wedding day, my skin was freaking out and she knew exactly what to do to help me. On a lot of brides she does a more natural look, but I wanted high drama and she was able to give me the big hair and smoky eyes that I loved. She can definitely do ANY look! She even helped me to make a beautiful flower hair accessory that looked amazing in my pictures. It was so great to have her there on my wedding day, it was like having a good friend to hang out with that is ALSO a really talented makeup artist. Thank u for all your hard work! ~Pam
I went with susie for a trial couple month ago because of her affordable price, but I was not happy with how my makeup turned out. i ask for a natural makeup, but the foundation that she use is very thick and i feel very cakey. She is very nice, but I just think she needs to improve on her work.

Hi Nawe09,
I am sorry that you were not pleased with the trial session that we had set up, but I wish that you would have let me know that the foundation had felt cakey. I always ask my brides how the foundation feels and whether it feels cakey for them so I am not quite sure why you would have had this feeling. Again, I am sorry to hear that things didn't work out and that we couldn't try other methods to improve your makeup. Thank you.
Susie had done my hair and makeup for an engagement session. I was actually really pleased with her work. Because she was busy in the afternoon the appointment was pretty early in the morning. I was concerned that the makeup and hair would not last until the engagement session or through the end of it. But to my pleasant surprise it lasted until the end of the day and the pictures turned out great. She was really nice and pleasant to work with. I don't normally wear makeup and so I asked for a very natural look, for her to be very minimal in what she used. She made sure that I was comfortable with the work she was doing and asked me throughout the session if I liked what she was doing. On top of all that she is very affordable. Just an all around great person to work with. Thanks, Susie!
Susie was such a pleasure to work with. She has such a down-to-earth personality and you immediately feel relaxed as if you've known her for years!
She recently did my hair and make-up for my engagement session and I couldn't be happier!! She did an AWESOME job and worked with the look I was going for. The whole time she made sure that every style and color for hairstyle and make-up was according to what I wanted. She constantly made sure that I was happy with what she was doing, and for that I'm grateful since this was pretty much my first time getting professional hair and make-up done.
I will definitely use her again, for what ever occasion I may need in the future! I just wish she lived closer to my location (SD) =(. In anycase, the trip was definitely worth it! I definitely recommend her!! Reliable, affordable, and the nicest person you'll ever meet!
Susie and her team are very professional, they arrived right on time and came prepared. The last thing you need are vendors creating chaos around you on your wedding day. She brought 2 other girls, 3 people total, this made sure there was enough time to get everyones hair and make-up (6 people) perfect. Everyone looked amazing!
Thanks Susie and team!
I recently used Susie's makeup and hair services for my wedding. Not only were they extremely professional, she and her assistant (Sunny) were both very talented and had great personalities. I was living in New York while planning for my Los Angeles wedding, so I first found Susie through the Internet. Not only were the pictures on her website impressive, I was also comforted by all the positive reviews from previous brides who had used her. From the very beginning, Susie was accessible via phone/email and I never once felt nervous booking her even though I was 3000 miles away. During the trial, she was great about listening to what I wanted, while letting me know her professional opinion; however, I never once felt pressured to give in to what she wanted. On the day of the actual wedding, Susie and Sunny were both an hour early and were quick to get everything set up even though things in my suite were very hectic and there were people milling in and out. I loved how Susie did my hair and makeup and felt completely at ease the entire time - I felt like I looked like a better version of myself :) I was more than happy with her work. Most notably, Sunny did a great job on my mother-in-law, who was very apprehensive about what to do with her hair. Not only was Sunny able to put her at ease, she did a great job and my MIL looked great. I have nothing but positive things to say about these ladies and would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a makeup/hair stylist... for any occasion! Thank you, Susie and team!
Susie is an amazing make-up artist as well as hair dresser! She truly made my special day a true joy. She made-up and hair styled me as well as my bridesmaids. He artistry illuminated my wedding day, and my photos turned out incredibly well.
I highly recommend Susie for any special occasion, especially weddings. Her make-up and hair artistry made me as well as my brides maids look pure and ethereal.
Here are my before and after shots:

Susie is definitely talented. One thing that separates Susie from other make up artists is she's flexible and is always willing to work around your schedule; saving you time, money, and the hassle of finding quality service. She diligently works on perfecting every feature of your face to bring out your natural beauty while also enhancing it. She made me up for professional portraits and they came out FANTASTIC!! I will definitely recommend her to all my friends for any occasion. She's talented, flexible, and creative. You will definitely be pleased and satisfied when she's done, guaranteed!
One of the main things that I look for in a makeup artist and hairstylist is reliability. It is hard to find someone who shows up on time, is willing to work with what you need, travel, charge at an affordable price, and does a great job. Susie definitely proved to be all of the above and more. I love her professionalism and her friendly attitude. She makes the whole process easy and stress-free. I would definitely love to work with her again for my future events because Susie is so talented and does a wonderful job with makeup. Totally recommended for anyone who is looking for AMAZING results!!
Susie just did my makeup for an engagement session and WOW! I LOVED my makeup and I can't recommend her enough. I went in there looking like a lumberjack and came out looking like a babe.
She was reliable, answered my phone calls/emails promptly and she worked me in when I had to reschedule. Best of all, her rates are very reasonable. Ladies, go to Susie if you need your makeup and hair done. I will definitely use her again!
Susie is absolutely fantastic. I had my first trial session with Susie about 2 weeks prior to my wedding. She did such an amazing job and I absolutely loved the results. The hairstyle I chose ended up not working with my face, and she made suggestions for something that would go great. I loved it! I stuck with her suggestion.
I am not the type of person to ever wear makeup so I did not want anything to crazy. I did not want to feel like I had a cake of makeup on me. Susie used products that didn't make me feel like that, and she still made me look amazing. She was such a great help and did a great job. I would definitely recommend her to anyone else. Not only did she do an amazing job with my hair and makeup at the trial and my actual wedding day, but she made other adjustments to my day. She helped me with my wedding dress, my shoes, and my jewelry. She told my bridesmaids to help me and make my bouquet bigger. She helped me relax and made everything seem okay. She started the day off on the right foot, and everything went perfectly from there.
Susie is definitely worth every penny, and the good thing is that her prices are very reasonable. I loved her!
I used Susie for my Trash Your Dress session in March. She did a wonderful job and helped me with very natural looking makeup. She makes every effort to make you feel comfortable and she is detailed and meticulous.
It's nice to finally find someone who can do BOTH hair and makeup. :)
I wish I had used her for my real wedding day! She gave me a touchup kit to take with me to my shoot (which my person on my wedding day didn't even do!) She did a great job on my hair, used great makeup products and my husband couldn't stop staring at me all day! I am definitely considering her for any upcoming special events I have (plus she's only 2 miles away from me).
The bonus too of course is that her prices are very reasonable, compared to the others out there. You don't have to pay a fortune to have quality work done!
I found Susie online and met with her 2 months prior to my wedding for our consultation. From our first meeting I was totally comfortable with her and just knew she would make me look amazing. She is really good on responding to my many emails and that was so appreciated since I was planning my own wedding and was really stressed.
The day of my wedding she was prompt and brought two assistants who were also great, I will never forget the feeling I had seeing my mom get pampered and wow did she look beautiful! I also had my maid of honor and one bridesmaid get make-up & hair and they looked great.
Susie took care of me, as you can imagine I was very nervous and anxious. She put me at ease and we laughed the whole time, I can not recommend her enough and will do so to anyone that asks. I will definitely use her again for any special occasion.
P.S. I got so many compliments on my make-up & hair.
I am so glad that I went with Susie Chhuor for my hair and make needs for the day of my wedding. Susie was very professional in promptly getting back to me with any questions and is very knowledgeable in what she does. She was able to assist me in letting me know what look worked best for my wedding attire. At the trial session, she gave me a great idea of what my look would look like and was prompt in emailing me photos of the work. The day of the wedding Susie arrived prompt to my house to do my hair and make up and make up for one of my bridesmaids. She was able to complete the work in good time allowing me plenty of time to get ready for my big day. The make up and hair lasted the whole day and she provided me with a touch up kit to use throughout the day. The make up looked great on the photos! I am extremely grateful to Susie for all her work and would recommend her services to anyone!
Susie Chhuor Professional Hair and Makeup Team did a great job! I loved my hair and makeup and they did a fantastic job on my bridesmaids. The rockabilly/50's hair do's looked perfect on my bridesmaids, just how I imagined them to be. We got lots of compliments. They were very professional and well prepared. I would highly recommend Susie Chhuor and her team!
Susie and her girls were terrific. They were fun and very professional, and made me, my mother, and my bridesmaids look wonderful. I look back at my wedding pictures and think, "Wow. I looked amazing!"
Susie did exactly what I wanted for my hairstyle and did better than I imagined for my makeup. She was very knowledgeable and her vast experience was plain to see when I worked with her. I was on a budget for hair and makeup, and $600 for hair and makeup for 5 women (including a bride) is phenomenal considering the quality of work that Susie does. Not only that, but she drove out to my hotel site with all of her supplies and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Susie Chhuor was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding.
Susie and her team are AMAZING! They made my bridal party and I look flawless. Susie is so nice to work with and a real pro.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Susie. She is professional, kind, super talented, and efficient! And on top of all of that, her prices are very affordable. Susie was my hair stylist and makeup artist for a trial session, my engagement shoot, and my wedding. I trusted her completely each time, and she delivered every one of those times. My makeup always felt very natural, never heavy. Also, the makeup looked fabulous on camera. One of the best aspects of Susie's personality is that she is more than willing to work with her clients. She takes her client's vision, and does everything in her power to achieve that vision. I feel that is a highly valued quality in the makeup industry! I got so much more than what I paid for.
I would use Susie again in a heartbeat. In fact, if I ever need my hair and/or makeup done again, I am definitely calling her. The stellar reviews she has received thus far are a testament to her talent and impeccable work ethic.
I had Pa Kou (one of the people who works for Susie) did my hair and make up for my wedding. It was so natural and wonderful. Everybody loves the make up and hair.
Everything went pretty well, except a little bump. When I did my trial in Susie's Office, we talked to Susie about adding a fake orchid in the hair. Susie put down the orchid and the charge price ($5) in the invoice. However, no one remember the orchid during the wedding day. But as soon as I mentioned the orchid, Pa Kou contacted Susie. And someone brought the orchid to my apartment in an hour, so problem was solved.
My make up lasted ok. My fake eye-lashes was peeling a bit after 6 hours. My lips was a bit dry. If you can, bring a lip gross for touch up. The little touch up kit was ok. You may need a bit more power and lip gross for later. Bring it yourself!
Overall, it was a great experience. Good price ($200 for hair and make up on wedding day)! Good work! NO TRAVEL! You can just stay at home, and enjoy the moment. No stress!
If I have a friend who needs hair and make up, I will suggest Susie to her right away! For that price, no one can beat it!
Susie is the best (and she arrived early on my wedding day, which helped ease my wedding day stress)!!! As described by one of my wedding guests, my makeup was "flawless."
I plan to use Susie for all of my future special event makeup needs! She's efficient, very accessible via email and phone, meticulous, fun, easy-going, and extremely talented!
Susie did an incredible job and was extremely patient in dealing with a stressed out and picky bride and a fussy mother. Thanks sooo much Susie!
Jackie did an amazing job!! She did a flawless job for my trial session on both my hair and make up so i knew she was going to do a great job for my big day, and she did it even better :) I wanted to use extensions in my hair to make it more full and to hold the curl, it was not a problem and turned out great. My hair stayed perfect the whole night and my make up did too, i didn't even need the touch up kit. Jackie is the best!
Susie and her group of girls are very nice and very professional. I will recommend them to anyone needing hair and make up service.
Thank you so much Jackie and Susie you guys are amazing :)

Susie is AMAZING! She has a lot of experience, impeccable taste, she is honest, she is meticulous, and she is reliable. This is also what makes her team so wonderful as well. On the day of the wedding Susie brought 3 team members. They were on time and we stayed on schedule the entire morning and afternoon. The 3 team members focused on the bridesmaid. Their hair and make up all matched and they looked beautiful. Susie focused on my hair and make up for more two hours! Also her prices are very very reasonable. Please go to her website, she has all her prices and services neatly listed, which I loved. I highly recommend her.
I first heard about Susie Chhuor through the Weddingbee.com classifieds and had the opportunity to meet with her for a hair/make-up trial session this past December.
I was late to the session due to unforseen circumstances and I had no idea what type of hair/make-up I wanted, but she was able to create a look that I definitely think I'd be happy with the day of. She's clearly very talented, friendly, and has a sense of ease to her work. Even under a time constraint she was able to make me look good! Her trial prices are really reasonable - I've already recommended her to everyone I know in the LA area looking for a hair/make-up stylist! Thank you again Susie!
I found Susie on craigslist and I was pleasantly surprised by her work on my trial. She was very nice and helpful in giving me ideas for hairstyles. She was not pushy like other artist and was open to my ideas/suggestions. I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a makeup & hairstylist for their wedding or any events.
Susie did an absolutely awesome job on my hair & makeup. She was also very fun to work with and ended up doing so much a greater job than I wanted or expected. Although we bumped into a few problems while setting up the trial session, at the end, everyone got what they wanted and because she did such an awesome job, I'm hiring her for my wedding! She is very professional and has the most gentle touch and great tastes. You can exepct a lot of questions about what you want, but in the end... just let her work and do her magic because she really know what she is doing and what will look great... as can be told through the results!
The makeup was very natural but also very elegant. Her hairstyling was quick but perfect. I can't wait to see what it will look like on the wedding day! :) Thanks a lot Susie!
Even guys recommend us!
I was referred to Susie Chhuor through a co-worker (my date to the banquet was complaining about how it was always a gamble getting a department store to do her makeup.. sometimes it would be great and sometimes it would be downright embarrassing). So I told her to check out Susie as she had a very professional portfolio of past clients already.
Well to make a long story short..when all was said and done, my date was the damn best looking girl that night. : D
Two thumbs way up.
First I wanted to thank you for all of your hard work.
I was totally happy with my hair and makeup! My
bridesmaids and mom also looked fabulous as well and I
just can't thank you enough for helping make my day so
awesome!
Our photographer took over 1300 photos so it's taken
us a while to get them all together. I picked out a
few that I think show the makeup well and I will
forward them onto you.
Also, thanks so much for acknowledging how crappy that
hair girl was. She was so unprofessional! Even the way
that she just jumped in and started curling my maid of
honor's hair without talking with anyone about how
they wanted it. Luckily it worked out, but seriously,
she needed to ask. I was so irritated with her, making
me feel like I was holding her up on my wedding day.
And thank you for fixing my mom's hair. It looked
ridiculous the way she left it and I would have just
let it go and ended up hating it in all my pictures so
many thanks for stepping in and fixing it!
Susie is extremely professional and easy to work with. Her makeup is absolutely stunning and really brings out the best features of every person! I cannot recommend her more!
Susie has done the hair & make up for three of my sessions! All the girls looked beautiful-- absolutely radiant, elegant and not "overdone"!She is also very affordable, which is definite plus! I fully recommend her!
Susie is one of the most talented makeup artist / hair stylist I have ever worked with. As a wedding photographer, I work with brides closely and no flaws really escape from the camera. There are times I notice other MUA either apply makeup that's too heavy, or lashes too thick that make the brides uncomfortable, or foundation that doesn't seem to be even, or blemishes that's not covered well. But with Susie, she seems to have that magic touch that always strike the perfect balance with the amount of makeup and the style that puts a smile on your face. Her hair styling and makeup often seem to accentuate the beauty of the bride rather than making you look completely different which I absolutely adore.
Go with Susie and her team, and you can't go wrong! :)

Team: Meet the Team at Kelly & Johnnys’s Wedding
While getting Kelly ready for her wedding at the San Gabriel Hilton on Valley Blvd, our good friend, Herman Au, who happens to also be Kelly’s photographer was able to get some candid team photos. Thank you Herman for your warm heart and humor. Are you surprised? (*inside joke)

Meet Susie. Kelly had a whole head full of extensions to give her hair length and volume. Boy, did she look sexy!

Meet Susie. Shh!! We need silence. It takes concentration and a steady hand to apply false lashes!

Meet Erika. Oh Erika! We love her unique sense of style and bold makeup, yet her simplistic and natural talent for making girls beautiful!

Meet Vanessa’s hand while she’s helping one of Kelly’s bridesmaids get her hair in tip-top-shape!

Meet Vanessa’s back as she adds on the final touches to a bridesmaids makeup, LIPS! MUAH!

Meet Jackie. She’s listening intently with a good ear!

Meet Jackie. (again) while she styles some hair! Wow! Look at those colorful clips!
