I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Bilino/Shino/Naoko!!!! They are all absolutely fantastic and VERY talented! I worked with Naoko for my wedding hair and makeup, and the outcome was even better than I could've dreamed of! Not only did my hair and makeup last the whole night, but the entire "look" was exactly what I was going for. Perfect execution. Many guests were asking who did my hair and makeup and were highly impressed!!! We did a trial for the hair and makeup the day before, and Naoko expertly recreated what I wanted from inspiration photos. On wedding day, she fit in services (hair/makeup and only makeup) for two other guests without any issue and to everyone's HIGH satisfaction! Not only is Naoko incredibly skilled at hair and makeup, but she was also a wonderful person to interact with during the wedding experience. She was so genuinely kind, courteous, upbeat, and professional! Highlights: - Very competitive and fair pricing - Will travel to you/your hotel - Super easy to communicate with/book via e-mail and to pay for services - Hair and makeup that last ALL day/night - High-quality services that are very comprehensive just exceptional I can't recommend Bilino enough for special events, and especially weddings!!! They are truly THE BEST! Book early while they're still available on your date! Thank you so much Bilino for making my wedding day so special!

Shino from Bilino is an incredibly talented makeup artist. I worked with her for both my wedding hair and makeup trial and the day of the wedding, and both times, I was beyond thrilled with how I looked. She’s truly an expert in makeup for Japanese women, and this was the first time I’ve felt that makeup suited my features so well—it felt natural yet stunning. Shino is not only meticulous in her craft but also very friendly and professional, making the whole experience a joy. Although she’s understandably busy and sometimes doesn’t respond immediately, she is lovely in person and absolutely worth the wait. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again for any future hair and makeup needs.

Dear Lili Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review. Your ki...

nd words mean the world to Shino and to our entire team — it truly encourages and uplifts us more than we can say. Actually, I just recently discovered that there’s a way to reply to reviews here! I figured, “Google allows replies, so maybe this platform does too,” and after playing around with it for a bit, I finally found the feature. Even now, whenever I look out at the beautiful ocean on the west side, I sometimes find myself wondering how you and your mother are doing. We truly hope to have the chance to see you again someday. Thank you once again for your warm and thoughtful message — it means so much to us. Shino and All Bilino team
