Rena is so talented!!! I had done a Trial Hair & Makeup Session with her about a year before my wedding, and I knew right away that she was the one for me! She was very quick to respond to emails, and during the trial, she did such a great jo...b with listening to what I wanted, looking at sample pictures I had collected, asking a lot of questions to get a feel for what I liked, and made very good suggestions and recommendations. Every time she did something, she would ask me what I thought and if there was anything I would change. I don't wear makeup on a regular basis, so I had asked that I have a more "natural" look, minus making my eyes a little more dramatic. Also, I wasn't too sure about what to do with my hair, but knew that I wanted it up and maybe in a side-bun type style. Not only was she on-point with my makeup, I did not have clown-face or cake-face, but she styled my hair in such a beautiful way that I would have never thought of. She took lots of pictures and notes, and I immediately put my deposit down to have Rena do hair and makeup for myself and MOH for my wedding. Fast forward a year later to The Big Day - Rena was on-site and on-time at the hotel we were getting ready at. She was well-prepared and was able to recreate my hair and makeup exactly as what was done at the trial, plus a few extra touches as suggested by my MOH. Also, my MOH is notoriously picky about her hair and makeup and also has had bad experiences in the past with makeup artists giving her ridiculous "Asian eyes". She was overjoyed with the excellent job that Rena did - her hair was perfect with a classic look, and Rena did an awesome job with enhancing her features with makeup and without the "Asian eyes". I felt and looked beautiful and received so many compliments from the hubby, wedding party, and guests. Everyone was blown away! I look great in all the amateur pictures that were taken, so I can only imagine how good the professional ones look (we'll be getting those soon!). I am so happy with Rena - her pricing is very reasonable and she is beyond talented. Highly recommended!!!
