Susan did an amazing job on my hair and make-up as well as making me feel at ease on the hectic morning of. She was super sweet and great with communication leading up to the day. I would book her again without question!
I highly suggest Susan for anyone who wants to look even more glamorous at their next special occasion. Susie did my bridal makeup this past March, in Jamaica, and it was everything I ever wanted. Words couldn't describe all the emotions that were going on with the wedding itself, but when it came to my makeup and bridesmaid's makeup- I didn't have any worry whats so ever since I trust Susan to always bring her A game. I'm all for giving every make-up artist an opportunity to really display their talent,but Susan has permanently made her way to my "Favorites" contact list. She's my GO-TO person. I'm definitely team #BeautyBySusan bc she never disappoint!
In 8 months I had an engagement party, a wedding photoshoot and 3 wedding ceremonies. So I did a total of 7 makeup sessions which included 2 makeup trials : 3 makeup artist from SD(Susan, Kristin, Savannah); 1 in OC (Travis Vu-great but very expensive); and 1 in San Jose (Yavivi-great India makeup- reasonable price).
Susan Kim is the only choice for SD makeup. She's professional, reasonable prices, quality skills and a perfectionist.
Rare Birds Bride -Kristin used powder that showed when the camera flashed, bad attitude in terms of not taking my opinion during the trial and cost more.
Toast to Beauty-Savannah Allen was ok, she's very nice and prices are good, but her skill level for eye shadow application is not as good as Susan Kim.
Suan and Helsa did my wedding party and my hair & makeup, and they were fantastic. They showed up promptly, equipped with all the tools needed, and put on amazing makeup & hair styles for my bridesmaids, mom, sister, flower girl, and me.
One of my bridesmaids said she could not even recognize herself after the hair & makeup were done because she looked and felt like a model. Several guests told me how amazing the makeup did not have any smudge and my hair stayed in place.
I'd recommend Susan & Helsa to anyone who needs professional makeup & hair services.
Susan was such a pleasure to work with - she is so professional, fun and most importantly, great at what she does. She made me feel absolutely beautiful - a more glamorous version of myself. And the bride was absolutely breathtaking.
If you want to look your absolute best, Susan is your girl.
I couldn't be much happier that she was my make-up artist for my destination wedding.. I only have the portfolio and man, I have fell inlove with her work in an instant. She was easy to negotiate with & she went extra mile that made me feel really special on my wedding day. The best part was when my groom said I am so beautiful that day was all thanks to Susan's talent. Be hiring you again for our vow renewal when we get back to Hawaii. :) plus so hard to not look stressed especially with two kids & you did wonders.
Susan was amazing. She came to my resort and did both my practice hair and wedding day hair and makeup. Susan was a true artist that listened to my preferences and made them better. I have short hair and was afraid not much could be done. Susan had many ideas and made my hair better than I could have dreamed. All makeup was top quality and brushes and utensils were meticulously cleaned. Susan is like a makeup studio on wheels. She had everything I could have needed. She gave me some touch up lipstick for my wedding day so my look would be perfect. Susan is friendly and personable. I was at ease and never felt uncomfortable. Only wish she could have done my makeup the whole trip.
Suz and her sister did a fantastic job of accentuating our bridal party's beauty; we looked like us, but better. They worked quickly and adeptly to do hair and make-up on 4 ladies in 3 hours (we showed up 45 minutes late and they got us out on time). They kept cool under pressure and were easy to work with despite our chaos. I'd definitely recommend these two to anyone wanting to look their best on their big day (or their brother and sister-in-law's big day).
Susan is the best! She did an absolutely amazing job on my hair and make-up as well as my four bridesmaids and flower girl. Prior to the wedding day she asked me what I wanted so I sent her pinterest photos of hair styles. She arrived early and well prepared with a vision for my wedding party. At the end of the day my wedding party and I looked and felt beautiful. We were all satisfied with how we looked and received many compliments throughout the day.
This is my second time working with Susan and she continues to surprise me with how professional and friendly she is. She became one of the girls that day and shared many laughs with us to ease my nerves.
I highly recommend Susan as a hair and make-up artist. So give her a call asap!
Susan was amazing! She was very personable and did an incredible job on my make up. Loved it!
Susan did an amazing job for one of my best friend's wedding! Rarely do you hear of ALL the girls in a wedding party love their hair and makeup... and we really did LOVE the job that was done. Every girl looked and felt amazing thanks to Susan. Aside from her great work, she is also a true artist that values her clients. She made sure we were comfortable with the amount and style of makeup we were wearing, listened to likes/dislikes, and even touched up each girl right before heading to the chapel.
Not only did she make us look great, she was also a blast to work with! She's very fun and easy to get along with. She became one of the girls instantly, almost as if she was a friend of ours all along. I highly recommend her and know she will make you feel beautiful on your special day.
I absolutely loved my make-up and hair! Susan is a passionate and friendly fun spirited woman who's truly talented! Thank you for making this a memorable experience!! You're the best!!
Susan was super friendly and talented! Always listen to my ideas, give me advice about my skin. She even arrive earlier to do my makeup ! I simply felt like my good friend was doing my makeup and hair .
Love ya Susan
Thank you soooooo much !
Susan carried herself with a great sense of professionalism. Her skill at hair and makeup exceeded my expectations. Susan had a great personality. She held a nice conversation with me while she worked and made me feel very comfortable. Great stylist, would recommend.
Susan did an awesome job with my make up and hair. I actually used her services for a boudoir photo shoot as a gift to my fiancé. First of all, she had great communication and she made time for me even when I contacted her at the last minute. When I met her for my appointment she was very friendly and was so easy to talk to. She knew exactly what I was looking for and asked me simple make up and hair questions so that I felt comfortable with what she was putting on me. In the end I was highly satisfied with my overall look.
She has a lot of experience and I would definitely book her for another appointment in the future.
I used Susi's services for hair and makeup and she did a fantastic job! I had to start getting ready for my competition at 3 am and she was at my apartment on the dot! Her attitude was fantastic for being up so early. My makeup lasted well past the end of the competition and my hair stayed in place very well. I highly recommend Susi for her services!
I was recommend by my photograher to use Susan Kim for my engagement photoshoot. Couldn't be happier with that choice I made! Susan not only make me feel so pretty she was so accommadating and friendly! It's hard to organise and arrange plans when you live overseas but she made it so easy! I really felt comfortable around her and she listened to exactly what I wanted.
Susan was amazing! Her humor made my day less stressful and put me at ease.I absolutely LOVED the way my looked turned out. She comes very prepared, thankfully. I
Wanted to use a foundation I bought a few days prior but the match ended up being terrible. Luckily Susan saved my wedding and made me a perfect match right there to make my skin look flawless. I highly recommend her as I would use her again myself. I couldn't have had as great of a wedding without her help!!! I still looked like me but times 10!!!
Susan Kim is an amazing make-up artist. She is a perfectionist in her work and does a very professional job. She is so nice and very comfortable to be around. She listens to her clients and does exactly what they want. I would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding party or any other event you need to look great for. I'm so glad we found her. Susan did all the make-up and hair for a family member's wedding and we are definitely using her for our next one.
