They were on time and very communicative. I also liked the touch up kit that Rena gave me. Had a little bit of the lip color, gloss, powder and pins.
Definitely recommend!

e, and incredibly patient. Most importantly, she truly listened to what I wanted and made sure I felt heard every step of the way.
I absolutely loved how my makeup turned out. It was natural, elegant, and still felt completely like me, and it is exactly what I had hoped for on such an important day. The makeup held up beautifully throughout the day, and I especially appreciated the little touch-up bag she provided. That thoughtful and sweet gesture made such a difference and showed how much she genuinely cares about her brides.
I’m so grateful to Rena and her team for helping me feel confident, beautiful, and calm on my wedding day. I highly recommend Bright Crystal Wedding to any bride looking for a makeup artist who is talented, attentive, and truly invested in her clients.

I had such a wonderful experience at this Bright Crystal Wedding studio. Rena was incredibly professional and made me feel very comfortable from the moment I arrived. I showed her ...
photos of the hair and makeup look I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it; exactly how I envisioned it.
I’m usually pretty cautious with makeup because I really prefer a natural look, but Rena delivered the perfect balance. I still felt like myself, just more polished and glowing, which was especially important since this was for my civil ceremony.
She was also very efficient and everything ran smoothly and on time. I’m so grateful I chose Rena for such a special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, natural glam.

During the trial, she took the time to listen to my ideas and offered valuable suggestions, ensuring that the final look would complement my dress and overall theme perfectly. Her attention to detail was evident throughout the process, and I felt completely at ease knowing I was in capable hands.
On the wedding day, Rena exceeded my expectations. She executed the chosen style flawlessly, and it held up beautifully throughout the day. Even with the inevitable nerves, I felt like a true princess, all thanks to her skill and expertise.
Not only is Rena incredibly talented, but she also has a warm and calming presence that helped alleviate any pre-wedding jitters. She was punctual, organized, and a joy to have around.
I cannot recommend Rena enough. She played a pivotal role in making my wedding day a dream come true, and I am forever grateful. If you're in search of a hairstylist who goes above and beyond, look no further.
Thank you, Rena, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride on my special day!!!

eased with my engagement photos (which I scheduled right after my makeup trial) and knew that I was in great hands for my wedding day.
Rena is extremely responsive and accommodating as I worked out the details leading up to my wedding day. I stopped by her studio in Torrance a few weeks before my wedding to purchase a beautiful floral hair clip (which was the ONLY one that perfectly matched my vision after searching for several countless nights). During that visit, she also worked with me on color matching hair extensions to my hair color to better prepare for the big day.
On my wedding day, Rena and her team were top-notch! They were punctual and fully prepared, even with our hotel's crazy parking restrictions. Three of my bridesmaids got their makeup done and all 6 BM + MOH got their hair done, and Rena & her team got everyone looking amazing with time to spare! Talk about a stress-free way to start off your wedding day, right? My friends have had prior experiences as BMs in other weddings and they were extremely impressed with Rena and her team's ability to work so efficiently yet do such a beautiful job on everyone's hair & makeup.
Overall, Rena did a wonderful job of ensuring that she fulfilled all my hair & makeup needs for my wedding, and I would recommend her and her team to anyone with no hesitation! Not only will you look and feel beautiful as the bride, your bridal party will too!

Bright Crystal provided full hair and make-up for a family member's wedding (bride, 5 bridesmaids, mother of the bride and mother of the groom). They are excellent and this review ...
probably won't cover all of the reasons that I highly recommend their services. The entire team is responsive and professional from the very first introductory call to the very last touch-up.
Lily and Yuko were working with a diverse group of women and everyone looked flawless. The bride especially looked stunning and Lily did a fantastic job of working with her all day especially during touch-ups. We never had to ask for anything to be done, Lily would just step in wherever she saw something that needed to be adjusted or touched-up and would take care of it. Her attention to detail really showed in the photos and the bride's styling looked as good at the end of the day as it did in the beginning!
I would happily work with Bright Crystal for any future styling needs.

I absolutely love my experience with Rena!
She was me and my mom's make up and hair stylist for my wedding.
I don't really know about makeup in general and I was little worried ...
about wedding makeup since I tend to look older with lots of makeup due to my skin texture and face features.
I did a trial with Rena before my wedding. She was easy to talk to and reliable to ask for opiniones which helped me a lot since I had no idea what to do. During the trial, she counseled me and only I requested was natural makeup. She first put pink gold based eye shadow since my wedding dress was Champaign pink. I asked her if there is any other color option. Rena was very flexible to let me try orange based eye makeup since my wedding bouquet was sunflower.
On the day of the wedding, I decided to do orange based eye makeup and I loved it! As I requested, it was very natural yet it embraced the beauty of what I have. I was also surprised how foundation can look so light but covers skin very well.
Hair was perfect as well and it lasted for all day long without fixing! (From 12pm to 12am).
My mom also loved her makeup and hairstyle for her Kimono.
I highly recommend Rena for any special events!

ularly, and went for a half up hairstyle. I did a trial first a few weeks prior, and it came out great - I was beyond happy with it! But on the actual wedding day, it turned out even better than the trial! My hair is thin, extremely straight, and doesn’t hold a curl well, but she made my hair look voluminous, and the curls lasted much longer than I expected. Yuko showed up early, and was very accommodating to staying a little bit to ensure our photographer captured her doing my makeup at the end. I cannot praise and thank Yuko enough for how wonderful she is!

I chose Rena from Bright Crystal Wedding after thoroughly reading through all of her reviews. It sounded like she was able to work with all types of skin and all types of hair and ...
she was very pleasant easy to talk to. These reviews were 110% correct and I'm so glad all my research led me to her. Her prices are fair, the makeup and hair she does is exactly what you ask for, her and her team arrived on time (early actually to get set up), and were insanely nice and understanding of all my girls needs and concerns. They got everything done in such a timely fashion without rushing. The makeup Rena did for me was natural-looking, but full coverage (exactly what I requested) and I never looked or felt prettier in my entire life, but I still looked 100% like ME. That's how everyone should feel on their wedding day. A huge reason I chose her besides her great hair/makeup reviews was things people said about her personality. I knew on my big day I would be nervous so I didn't want anyone with a personality too crazy/talkative to make me anxious or feel like I had to converse for the full 1-2hrs of getting my hair/makeup done. I needed that time to breathe and relax. I also didn't want a personality too quiet to make me feel shy/nervous. Rena is like your long lost friend. Easy to talk to, easy to connect with. If you don't want to talk, she doesn't bug you. If you want to chat for the full 2 hours, she'll chat with you. That was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable and relaxed just before walking down the aisle. I 100% recommend Rena and her team and will hire her again for any makeup/hair I need done. 6 stars

Finding a team that can do BOTH hair and makeup will make your life that much easier on your wedding day, but very few teams can do both well. Rena and her team are among the few w...
ho can. I LOVED LOVED LOVED my hair and makeup. [Concern #1] As someone who doesn't wear makeup, I was worried about how heavy the makeup would be. You're in good hands with Rena - she has a gift of achieving natural looks that are durable and strong enough for photo/video lighting. My family and bridesmaids had the same concern as well, and were all happy with how their makeup turned out. [Concern #2] I'm Chinese, so I wanted someone who knows how to work with Asian features (e.g. not pile eye shadow on top of my eyelids). Rena nailed it. [Trial] Do a lot of research on what you want before the hair and makeup trial so you can use the time to refine the look. If something doesn't look/feel right, tell Rena. She's incredibly patient and will work with you until you're happy. [Day of] Rena and her team showed up right on time and even finished ahead of schedule, which helped us stay on track overall. They were super easy to work with! [Recommendation] I would highly recommend Bright Crystal Wedding for both hair and makeup. If you can, try to book Rena. She's incredibly talented!!!

I found Rena through Yelp and after seeing all the amazing reviews and photos, and decided to use her hair and makeup services for my engagement photos and wedding. Rena was able t...
o replicate the hairstyle photos I showed her, and made my hair look even prettier than the photos I showed her :D Her makeup skills don't make you look like a different person with heavy caked on makeup. You still look like yourself, but a more elegant version.
My engagement photo shoot was by the water and it was so windy outside. My hair held up so well in the strong wind. Somehow Rena was able to keep the hairstyle looking soft and natural, but tough against the wind! On my wedding day, Rena and her stylist arrived at our venue on time, quickly setup, and got to work! The thermostat was broken in the room where we got ready, so it was freezing cold inside. Rena plugged in a few hair dryers and placed them on the ground to help warm up our feet, and gave me some hot hair rollers to hold to keep my hands warm. Our wedding ceremony was outside on a hot August afternoon but despite the heat and perspiration, my airbrush makeup held up so well! I didn't need to touchup anything all day. She provided me with a little kit with hairspray, extra lip color, and oil blotting paper before she left.
Prices are very fair. Rena was excellent with communication/texting/emails, always super friendly and responds quickly. She even sent me a message the night before the wedding to "sleep well tonight!".
Thank you so much, Rena!

Wow, really. I don't wear makeup in my daily routine, so I am always self-conscious about looking like a clown. Rena worked her magic, and I felt amazing. The makeup was so ligh...
t weight that I forgot I was wearing any, and it stayed on the whole night after all the dancing and festivities. Rena is so awesome that she actually gives you a little touch up kit with the lip color, too! She and her assistant arrived on time and made my bridal party look and feel like the gorgeous people they are.

I don't know where to begin but Rena is absolutely amazing! I did a trial and used it for my engagement shoot. And the other day, I got married and Rena did my hair and makeup. Ren...
a is very easy to work with. She will give you options on what you like. She'll show you different ways of doing what you want and ask you which one you like most.
I also hired Rena to do a touch up after the reception (cause there's a huge chance that I'll cry and ruin my makeup)... But she went above and beyond. When everything was getting crazy, she helped me with my wedding dress and waited until I walk down the aisle (really really went above and beyond). After the ceremony, there was a little time left (and we should leave the chapel), but Rena works very well under pressure. She's very composed and organized. I would love to work with you again and will definitely recommend to my friends.
