Bright Crystal Wedding LA/OC

orrect 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

rom my mom to my bridesmaids to myself, everyone was happy with their look. Highly recommend this team for your wedding day makeup.

an up-do would be better. All the girls would double check with us if we wanted more color or if anything needs to be changed before finalizing the look for me, my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL. The girls were punctual, accommodating, and gave great recommendations. I love my hair and makeup overall.

Would highly recommend her and her team for your wedding day!

particular spending a lot of time on two of my bridesmaids who has difficult hair. Everyone's hair looked great and stayed until the end of the evening. Would highly recommend her for any event!

s and my mom. They were timely and let us give examples of what we each wanted. They made us look like flawless dolls :) Thank you so much for your great communication and making my wedding day perfect.

ect at the end. Everyone was happy with their final looks. They showed up on time, and we were all ready at the time we had planned. No crazy pressure or rushing. Everything was on point and I am so glad I decided to book them, everthing came out perfect. Thank you Lily and Yuko!

as just as talented. They both made our morning perfect!!!

in!

ored to work with Yuko and Maki. They both came on time with their own chairs, surge protectors, and tools. They had such happy and friendly personalities! They are so talented too; all my bridesmaids loved their hair. The two mothers are also very picky and they couldn't have been happier with their hair. Yuko did my hair and I was so surprised that NOTHING HURT! at the end of the day, i didn't have any aches or painful bobby pins!!! This is a great team

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!!!

ready on my big day. Overall, I was very happy with my hair and makeup.

he wedding timeline. I also loved that Rena has a calm and competent presence. She can do it all without being overly chatty and distracting, which was helpful for me amidst the chaos of a wedding. I have recommended her to all my friends getting married and looking for an awesome makeup/hair stylist, and they agree that she is the best!

really easy to work with--on time and responsive. It was disgustingly hot on the day of my wedding--over 100 degrees and humid--and my makeup and hair still looked great at the end of the evening (even though I had been sweating all day)!

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!

hole 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.

akeup stayed all day! Thank you!!!

night.She was on time,even ahead of schedule ,very friendly and easy going person.I highly recommend her to anyone for weddings or any special occasions.

very easy to work with. I highly recommend!!

ou 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.

ena and Bright Crystal Wedding and I am so thankful and glad that I did. From our trials (I paid for 2 because of my OCD) and she showed me how beautiful I could look like in a matter of an hour a glimpse of my big day. Trials don't do her work justice because on my big day... I was absolutely blown away at the work she had put in to make me look the most beautiful I have ever looked in my entire life. Because of Rena, I felt and looked amazing and her work has left an everlasting memory of the beauty my wedding came out to be. Not only was her work wonderful, but her sweet, wonderful and kind personality was a bonus! I would book her again in a heartbeat.

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!!!

navailable the day of my wedding but her Senior Artist, Yuko, was. Before having a trial with Yuko, I reserved my wedding day ASAP! I also needed hair and makeup for my engagement pictures, Yuko wasn't available but Rena was. She did a great job and was really friendly during the session. I loved my makeup and it didn't feel heavy on my face at all. My hair is bad with curls staying so Rena pinned them and told me an hour before my photo session to unpin it so it can set. The curls stayed on the whole time! Part of our photos were taken on the beach, I was worried the salt water in the air would mess it up but it didn't Hair trial appointment with Yuko went really well. She followed the pictures I showed her perfectly. However, it wasn't until later my fiance mentioned that the eye makeup was a little dark, I thought it was a little bit too. When it came to the wedding day, I told Yuko to lighten my eye makeup, no problem! The day of my wedding, we were running a little late to the venue. Yuko and Kumiko were there and ready to go! I felt really bad but they were in great spirits the whole time. I have to give it to these ladies, they were on their feet non-stop! I offered them water and food but they were ok too. My bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup. My mom and grandmother also got their hair and makeup done and it was beautiful and age appropriate. I loved how they looked. Everyone looked so beautiful and I loved how everything turned out. I would love to use them on future events, they are the best! Thank you Rena, Yuko, and Kumiko!
