I had an amazing experience with Christy for my wedding day! From the trial session to my rehearsal dinner to the final look, Christy and her team were professional, attentive, and incredibly talented. They took the time to understand my vision and flawlessly brought it to life, enhancing my features while keeping the look natural and elegant. My makeup, bridesmaids makeup, and mothers makeup lasted all day and night without needing a single touch-up!
Beyond her amazing skills, Christy brought such great energy to the day! Her positivity and calming presence made the whole experience so enjoyable and stress-free. She kept the mood light and fun, which was exactly what we needed on such a big day. I received so many compliments, and I couldn’t have been happier with how I looked. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is not only skilled but also brings the best vibes, I highly recommend Christy! I've already recommended her to a list of friends and family.
Thank you for making me feel my absolute best on my special day!
Having Christy at our wedding was an absolutely wonderful experience. From my initial bridal trial to the wedding day, Christy made me feel so at ease and worked with me to bring the visions of my bridal looks to life. Prior to my trial session, I had never had my hair and makeup professionally done before and was always a bit nervous looking for hair and makeup artists since not everyone understands how to work with Asian features and fine, dark colored hair. In the first few minutes of meeting Christy, my nerves immediately subsided because of her patience and positive energy. Her knowledge and experience really shined as she took all my references and inspo photos and created looks to not only compliment and highlight my features, but also to ensure that my makeup would show up beautifully in all our photos.
On our wedding day, she and her wonderful team started off our day with calming, happy energy which really carried through the day. Her team also made my bridesmaids and both moms feel beautiful and look amazing, especially when all of them also aren’t used to getting their makeup professionally done as well. She even helped my husband look his best as well, since he tends to get shiny and wanted to minimize that in our photos. As for me, I felt the most beautiful I had ever felt the entire day with Christy by my side, constantly ensuring I looked and felt my best throughout every moment. She patiently followed me around the entire day from the first look, to our couple portraits, and even during our reception, checking in with me throughout the day to see how I felt and proactively fixing any hairs out of place or makeup as needed. Right before the ceremony, she not only gave me a quick hair and makeup touch up, but she calmed my nerves as well as I was waiting to walk down the aisle. Christy is not only a professional, skilled artist, but she truly is your hype girl supporting you through every big moment and all the emotions on your wedding day.
I’m so grateful to have gotten to work with Christy and am truly so thrilled to have gotten to know her throughout this entire process. She is such a gem and I am so happy to have had her with us on our wedding day.
Christy is such an amazing artist. She is very talented, professional, and able to make the wedding hair of my dreams come true! I loved my lashes and the make up lasted through all the dancing! She was a pleasure to work with and all of her artists who helped her on the day of the wedding were amazing. The bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom had nothing but compliments to give about the service and their results. I would highly recommend trusting Christy for your make up and hair for your special day!
Christy was so wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! I was getting so worried about finding someone who could do my hair and makeup on my wedding day and I was so relieved after my trial with Christy. She is a true artist and truly takes her time and pays close attention to detail to create a beautiful look! She made my eyes look bigger and lifted and made my hair smooth and glamorous. She is so sweet and professional and I was impressed with her work from beginning to end! She also worked with a great team of artists for my bridal party and everyone was happy. I highly recommend booking with Christy!
Christy and I unfortunately did not get to work together as there was an error in double booking; however, she went above and beyond to correct the mistake and found an amazing colleague (Carina Tafulu) to take over for her. Carina did a beautiful job as a hair stylist and was so kind to everyone. The hollywood waves I dreamed of were delivered and I had such a fun time working with her!
Christy did my wedding hair and makeup, as well as my maid of honor, mom, mother in law, and my brother's girlfriend! She was so timely, professional, and made the morning so stress free and enjoyable! She really created a fun and relaxing environment!
Everyone loved their hair and make up! I cannot recommend Christy enough, she has a true gift for bringing out the natural beauty in everyone! I could truly trust her eye and professional judgment and cannot thank her enough for being a part of our special day.
Christy was a joy to work with and so down to earth. During the wedding day, her calm demeanor and focus was exactly what I needed during the getting ready chaos and beyond. Plus, I looked absolutely gorgeous and cannot give her credit enough for her work! Thank you again!
Christy did my HMU for my wedding and she was absolutely INCREDIBLE!! I was lucky enough to meet Christy as a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding, and I loved my makeup so much that I jumped at the chance to book Christy for my own wedding. She is SO talented at what she does and surpassed all expectations to make me feel so beautiful on wedding day! As someone who does not wear a lot of makeup, Christy knew exactly how to enhance my natural look without making me feel overdone. On top of that, my hair and makeup even lasted all night despite my many tears.
Outside of being incredibly talented, Christy is kind, friendly, professional, and really listens to you to help create a look that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. HIGHLY recommend Christy and her entire team!! Cannot thank her enough for helping to make my wedding day absolutely perfect.
I knew she could do the job once I took a look at her portfolio and how diverse her clientele was! I was initially not going to hire HMU for my wedding, but I felt that I could trust her. She’s able to create any hair look or makeup and will be honest about what may fit your facial features best. She is reliable and is open to feedback. She also did my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup and we were on time even though she did not bring an assistant. They were also very happy with their makeup/hair! The hair and makeup for all of us lasted the entire wedding seriously… Personality wise: very chill, confident, and easygoing. I think she would make a great fit for anyone.
I had the honor of having Christy Yoo do my bridal makeup, and the hair and make up for my Nieces of Honor for my wedding at the Disneyland Resort. Christy came highly recommended by my planner; Dee Lee. Christy was exceptional from the consult to the makeup trial to the wedding day. She was punctual, communicative, and she listened to me. Her makeup was FLAWLESS! I am quite oily and her magic mixture withstood the ultimate test. I usually blot with oil sheets many times a day, but I did not need to with Christy's miracle sealant. (I was married in 85 degree heat in Anaheim.) I appreciated how she listened to me and took my opinion into consideration. Together, we came up with the perfect wedding look. For my make up, I give her 10 stars.
Why the 4 stars? Because my niece (with the really long hair) showed her a picture of a high volume blow out look but ended up only getting the ends curled. She didn't share this with me until the day after that It wasn't what she wanted but my niece didn't want to bother her to fix it because she was working on her sister next and then me.
Final Thoughts... I totally plan on getting my make up done by Christy for my portrait session next year and I would still 100% recommend her for future brides!
Christy is hands down AMAZING! If she is available for your date - BOOK HER NOW!
I booked Christy and her team for my wedding and it was the best decision. I normally don't wear a lot of makeup and have trouble finding artists who align with my vision. Christy truly goes above and beyond to listen to your vision and help you feel even more stunning during your most special moments.
Everyone in my wedding party loved her and her team. I also did my makeup trial with Christy and it was great prep to understand what look I eventually wanted for my wedding.
100000/10 - would recommend her to everyone. I can't stop raving about her and I'm so happy with my experience!
Christy and her team are amazing!! She made my hair and makeup dreams come true for my big day. Her attention to detail is fantastic as well. I would definitely recommend her!!
Christy is AMAZING! We discovered her through a referral by another make up artist in TikTok. We were looking for an artist whose style is natural and elegant. From the trial to the wedding day itself, she paid attention to every detail and listened to what we wanted.
Christy is such a gem!! I can’t recommend her enough!
She has the best energy. We connected instantly during my makeup trial and she made me feel more beautiful than I have ever felt. I NEVER feel pretty when I am not wearing my glasses because I am self conscious about my eyes, but Christy was able to work her magic and make feel radiant and confident. I didn’t wear my glasses in any photos!!
Her team is very professional, on time, and overall wonderful. My entire wedding party looked and felt gorgeous. Christy and her team are up to date on all the new bridal trends, and they were able to create perfect looks for all of us that suited all of our unique personalities very well.
Thanks so much Christy! My wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without you!
Where do I even begin?!? I'll try to keep it short & sweet...which is almost impossible.
When I first got in touch with Christy (October 2023) for her hair & makeup services, a few things I noticed about her was her bubbly spirit, nurturing & reassuring character, accessibility, and flexibility. As someone who is VERY indecisive, rarely wears makeup (outside of the occasional lipstick and mascara), gets overwhelmed by the amount of styles to choose from, AND lives in the east coast, Christy had her work cut out for her, but she never wavered!!
From the get-go, Christy reassured me when I felt like I was already late to booking a vendor for my wedding (March 2024). She didn't focus on that aspect, but instead focused on moving forward with a game plan to get us on track. She had me send her a picture of my hair (to gauge color and length), dress, and hair & makeup styles I had saved that I was interested in. From the picture of my hair and dress alone, she sent over some ideas that she thought would suit me well and then guided me to what length and color of hair extensions to purchase (if I wanted to use them).
Next came booking a bridal trial. Due to living out of state and personal circumstances surrounding work, I wasn't sure exactly what my schedule looked like and that's where Christy's accessibility & flexibility really shined. We were in constant open communication about our schedules in order to fit my needs, which I greatly appreciated! On top of that, my sister who has very sensitive skin was visiting from out-of-state and because she was planning to have her makeup done for the day of my wedding, Christy was very understandable and accommodating when we asked if she could test some sample products on her face. With the high quality products Christy invests in, there was no reaction and she felt comfortable getting her makeup done for my wedding. In fact, Christy wanted to personally do my sister's makeup just to be on the safe side and because she was already familiar with my sister's skin tone and complexion :)
Finally, we reach the wedding day!! Christy showed up with her lovely assistant Summer, who worked on hair and makeup for my sisters. Just like the day of my trial, I think it was a bit apparent that I was nervous when it came to applying layers of makeup. Rather than focusing on each step of the way, Christy reminded me to "trust the process." At the end of all the styling, when everything was put together, I felt so beautiful. Seeing myself with just the hair & makeup alone made me truly feel like a bride and set things into place. A compliment I received over and over was how natural the makeup looked on me, which was exactly what I was going for. I wanted a soft glam with colors that would translate across the different gowns that I was going to wear throughout the day, especially because the gowns were different colors.
If I haven't sold you just yet, let me reassure you that Christy & her team are the way to go. Not only were the compliments coming from our friends; they were also coming from my parents, aunts, and grandma!! Speaking from my experience growing up in an Asian household, family members can be very nitpick-y when it comes to looks so for them all to praise Christy and the makeup she did on me, I'll take it as a win! Book her for any of your hair and makeup needs. You won't regret it!!
Christy and her staff were amazing! My hair and makeup lasted all day and night. She made little tweaks based on my requests after the trial and was always open to feedback to make sure everyone loved their looks. They did beautiful natural makeup and hair for my maid of honor, mother, and mother in law. I really appreciated how both Christy and Summer were calm under the high intensity of the wedding day and were genuinely lovely people to spend time with. Highly recommend her!
If you are looking for an artist you can trust as an east asian bride looking for hollywood waves, Christy is your girl! Hair and make up was an absolute priority for me, and Christy was always kind, professional, and thorough. She made me feel so heard and taken care of throughout the whole process, not just the day of, but also in the weeks leading up to the day. She went above and beyond to ensure my look was perfect, even very generously offering me a complimentary second trial right before my wedding day! My hair and make up was exactly what I wanted, and my make up still looked amazing at the end of the night even though I didn’t have time to use the touch up kit! She definitely earned my trust!
I'm beyond thrilled that I discovered Christy Yoo Makeup Artistry. Highly recommended by a friend, Christy exceeded expectations. Opting for a make up trial was a fantastic decision—it allowed us to discuss and refine my vision for the wedding look and provided quality bonding time. On the big day, she attentively listened, transforming me into the most beautiful version of myself. Christy's artistry moved me to tears! Her thoughtful gift of moisturizer for my very dry skin was an extra touch. Beyond being a skilled makeup artist, Christy felt like a close friend, helping to calm my nerves and accompanying me throughout the day to ensure I looked perfect. I am so grateful she was part of my special day.
The moment I messaged Christy, I could already tell l loved her energy and vibe. She was super responsive on Instagram and text and if she knew she is going to be busy over the next few days, she would always let me know. Christy made me feel so comfortable when she was doing my hair and makeup and it felt like I was talking to a longtime friend even though I had just met her! A few of my bridesmaids and my mom got their hair or makeup done by Christy, and they instantly said the same thing about Christy’s energy and personality.
I did my HMU trial on the day of my bridal shower and it was insanely hot that day. I was sweating so much but my makeup and hair did not budge and looked the same by the end of the day. And to clarify, my makeup did NOT look cakey at all! So Christy knows how to make your makeup look flawless while also having insane staying power. I got lucky on my wedding day where the weather was actually very cool despite being in August. But I was already so confident that there would be no issues with my hair or makeup melting off, and of course, Christy did my hair and makeup flawlessly and it lasted the whole night!
I highly recommend doing a trial if you don’t have a strong opinion about what you want for your look. I was struggling to figure out what I wanted exactly but doing a trial really helped me pinpoint what I wanted for myself. Christy is so helpful with this process and is very open to feedback, which made me feel comfortable discussing changes I wanted. I already loved my look during the trial but Christy helped me figure out what I needed to tweak to help me feel more like myself on my wedding day.
Overall, I loved Christy and I highly, highly recommend reaching out to her if you need hair and makeup for any event! Christy is the best!!
Christy’s talent is like nothing I have ever seen before. She spends the time to understand your vision, and completely executes beyond expectations.
Brides - DO the hair and makeup trial. It gives you such a great opportunity to get to know Christy and feel confident about your wedding day look. I even ended up booking her for my tea ceremony the day before my wedding - I wanted to look and feel my best which is what Christy is so good at. She is professional, kind, communicative, and makes you feel totally at ease.
Christy pays attention to the details (spent lots of time and effort on my eyeliner which was super trademark to me) and is an ARTIST with makeup. Trust her completely. I have such such straight hair that hardly holds any curl, and the relaxed glam waves she gave me were so perfect and lasted all night. She also worked on my bridesmaids hair and makeup which was INCREDIBLE. Some girls said it was better than what they looked like for their own weddings!
I could go on and on about how incredible Christy is, and how everyone complimented my look all wedding day (and even weeks afterwards), but the bottom line is that you will never regret choosing this wonderful woman to be on your wedding team.
I had the opportunity to work with Christy for a bridal hair trial and also my bridal hair. First of all, I just want to say that Christy is freaking amazing. She is a strong, independent, friendly, and kind woman and I am so blessed to have met her. From the get-go, her vibe was so welcoming that I felt immediately comfortable. She is so great that she made me cry during the bridal hair trial and I can confidently say, she is one of the best in her field. Not only does she create magic through her hair and makeup, she is also extremely informational and educational about so much.
She also did the hair of some of the girls in my wedding party including my mother and mother-in-law and I received nothing but praise and excitement from the girls. They commented on how they absolutely loved how their hair turned out and some even made comments saying that they want Christy for their future weddings and events. I also received a comment from a guest saying, “Your hair alone was everything” and I was like, “Mhm! Christy did THAT <3”.
Christy, you are a beautiful soul and a beautiful person. I hope that we can continue to cross paths in the future because I adore you and your work! Thank you so much for everything and I’ll always support you! Much love, Josephine
There is nobody better than Christy. The most talented, real, kind, loving, safe, and nurturing soul. She not only did my make-up for my wedding, but also my hair and make-up for my rehearsal dinner. Her presence made me feel so calm all weekend and she listened to me and gave me exactly what I wanted. She also gave me so many skin tips and change my skin. I'm so lucky to know her and will use her for any event I ever have. The best of the best. Could not recommend enough!
I recently had the pleasure of working with Christy, and she exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I met her during the bridal trial, I could tell she was incredibly down to earth and that I could trust her with my desired look. She and her talented team went above and beyond to ensure that the entire wedding party and I looked absolutely stunning on the wedding day. She worked with me to capture the vibe of what I was going for; she offered suggestions and insights along the way based on her experience which was so helpful. She went beyond what I anticipated - asking about my dress, accessories, and looking at my photographer's past work to see how the makeup might turn out in photos. She also demonstrated understanding of color theory and varying skin tones which worked well for me and the bridal party. It was evident that she genuinely cared about making sure I felt and looked my best. I honestly wish she could do my hair and makeup every day. If you’re searching for an artist who will make you look and feel your best, I highly recommend!
I loved working with Christy! She did my bridal hair and makeup. She had also done my hair and makeup trial, so she was familiar with the fact that I don't usually wear makeup. She gave me a perfect natural glam look. She also gave me an updo that held strong during a particularly windy day at Palos Verdes Estates. She was amazing and built up my confidence on a nerve-wracking day. I will definitely ask Christy to help with any future hair styling and makeup needs.
Christy was so amazing to work with! She is so knowledgable about all different face and eye shapes. I often feel like I look not like myself when I have my makeup professionally done, but I did not feel that way at all on my wedding day! I keep looking at the pictures and being amazed at how good I look. I love the way my skin and eyes look!!! (Seriously, Christy, teach me your secrets). She also did such an amazing job on my bridesmaids and the moms!
Christy is a gem to work with! She caters to how you want your look to be for your special day. She makes you feel very comfortable on the day of trial and the day of wedding. I loved how she made everyone look so beautiful including myself, my mom, maid of honor, and husband. I am very grateful to work with such a sweet, hard-working, and talented artist.
Christy is the best! From my trial this summer to my wedding day, she ensured that every strand of hair was in the right place and that makeup was on point. So grateful to have Christy as my glam squad for me and my bridal party. Cannot recommend her enough!
Christy is a super talented hair and makeup artist who takes her craft seriously - I was so impressed starting with my trial with her, especially given the huge difference in results compared with other HMUA's I looked into, and was thrilled with her and her team's work on my wedding day!
Christy did an absolutely amazing job as my wedding hair and makeup artist. Both my mom and MIL also loved her work on them. She executed the vision that I wanted perfectly, worked quickly, and kept us on schedule. She is so professional while still being fun to chat with. I HIGHLY recommend her for your special day.
Christy. Is. The. Best. That’s all I can say!!! From the trial, to the booking, to the day of…she KILLED IT!!!!!! My makeup and hair was flawless, her team was ridiculously talented, and they were all able to go with the flow even when things changed at the last minute. Don’t even hesitate—BOOK. HER. Christy, thank you for everything I am so grateful for you and thank you for adding to the joy and love of my wedding day!!!!!!
Could not be more thankful for Christy!! I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day thanks to her! The professional HMU I've had done previously never turned out the best, so I was nervous about finding the right artist, especially since it was for my wedding. When I found Christy, I felt confident in her abilities and could clearly see her expertise through her portfolio.
For my trial, she recreated the hairstyle I showed her, and it turned out amazing. I didn't have any inspo pics for my makeup, but she knew exactly how to create the look I was going for based on what I described - she's a makeup fairy godmother!
I decided to go with a more natural hairstyle for my wedding day and emailed her new inspo pics. Despite doing a completely new hairstyle, she nailed it!! She also perfectly color matched my makeup to my tanner complexion on the wedding day. Would definitely recommend Christy if you want to look and feel flawless!!
I hired Christy to do my makeup and hair for my wedding. I was going for a natural bridal make-up look and a low bun updo with curls to frame my face. I was a bit hesitant at first whether she can handle my African American hair, but she handled it like a boss! She is extremely talented at what she does and she gave me the exact look I always dreamed of having on my wedding day. I also had a bridal trial with her where we were able to play around with makeup colors and styles so that we can be good to go on the big day! She is very sweet, professional, patient, open to feedback, and will execute your dream look. Look no further, hire Christy and you won’t be disappointed! Check out her Instagram if you need more convincing IG: christyyoo_artistry
Christy and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! Christy, Karen and Summer accommodated to our every request and did such an amazing job for me, my bridal party, and other members of my family! I was so thankful and happy I chose them to be a part of my day. After my bridal trial, I decided to go for a more minimalistic look on my actual wedding day. Christy took my inspo photo and made it into a reality! I have extremely thick hair and the bridal bun she didn't budge one time throughout the day/night. Just looking at her Instagram and from my own personal experience, Christy is an amazing makeup artist who can accomplish just the look you're going for. So many people complimented me on my hair and makeup at my wedding! So thankful to Christy and her team for making my dreams a reality!
Christy is SO TALENTED!! I had a H&MU trial with her for my engagement shoot and my make up was flawless - it looked amazing in photos and lasted many hours. Christy took her time with my make up, applying many different products and layers that worked with my oily skin to ensure my skin looked flawless (never cakey, not even one bit!). She really knows what she’s doing!
Christy is also a hair goddess - she did my hair and all my bridesmaids’ hair for my wedding. For my hair, I wanted simple loose waves with volume, which looked awesome and the volume lasted all day and night! My bridesmaids had all different styles, from half-up styles to updo styles, and they all looked amazing as well.
Christy is the sweetest - she listens to what you envision yourself looking like on your wedding day and helps you achieve your goal, and she is fun to talk to! I am so happy she did my hair & make up for my wedding and I am very grateful for her hard work. I would recommend Christy in a heartbeat!!
Christy could not have done a better job for my wedding! I am so grateful for her. We did a hair trial not once, but twice because I wanted to change the style of waves I had & she wanted to make sure I was happy. The end result was STUNNING on my wedding day & I had so many compliments. She is so kind, personable, & really makes an effort to make sure she brings your vision to life. Her & her second artist, Summer, took on myself (the bride) & 6 other ladies (3 bridesmaids, mother of groom/bride, & flower girl) on my wedding day & we all loved our hair! To top it off our hairstyles lasted all night. Thank you Christy & Summer! Forever grateful. I highly recommend Christy!
Christy was amazing!! She did my hair, my moms hair, & a few of my bridesmaids. She was kind enough to even add an extra bridesmaid last minute. We all know wedding days can be so stressful & she was flexible throughout the whole process. My wedding was in July in Temecula...in the middle of 90°+ weather. My hair was perfect and lasted the entire time! I would definitely recommend her to any future brides.
Christy is the consummate professional and incredibly detail oriented! She did my bridal hair and make-up as well as the hair and make-up for both mothers and really listened to what each person wanted. She is so precise and yet also made it just a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. I would trust her completely with anything to do with hair and makeup!
Christy is a hair goddess!!
My friend recommend her because I wanted a super glam up do. I have black, super flat and thin hair so i was worried I wouldn't have the volume I craved for . During the trial, Christy worked her magic!! I was BLOWN away at how much dimension she created with my boring hair.
Before my wedding, I decided to go lighter and myyyy ohhh myyyy. My hair was a dream. It was better than I could ever imagine! She also did a splendid job on my bridesmaids, too. Thank you sooo very much Christy!!!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Hire Christy nowwww! Christy is truly an artist. She did my and my entire bridal party's hair for my wedding. I showed her my inspo pic, which also happened to be one of her masterpieces, and she recreated it to perfection! She also made my mother look like a GODDESS! My maid of honor kept saying how impressed she was with how Christy styled each girl's hair to perfectly frame and shape their face. I cannot wait to book her for my next event!
Christy did my hair and makeup for my wedding, and she DELIVERED! I noticed most of her clients had a more natural, soft look, but I wanted full glam!! Big hair and face beat…because when else am I ever going to look like this? I showed inspo pictures during our trial and she knew exactly what to do. She even made tweaks on the day of the wedding to make it even better! My hair and makeup lasted all day, even after all the crazy dancing and sweating. Christy was so great to work with and very patient with all the changes I kept throwing at her. It ended up being 8 of us getting our hair and makeup done so Christy brought in 2 other artists. They were both wonderful as well. My whole bridal party, mom, MIL, and sister in law looked beautiful and I can’t thank Christy enough for making that happen!
Christy was recommended by a long time client of hers and a friend of ours. She definitely lived up to the recommendation and more! We had 4 stylist that morning, and what could have been chaos was anything but. Christy had 7 clients and they all were so thrilled with how individual and gorgeous their styles were. AND, the styles all lasted and continued to look amazing well past the end of the night. Thank you Christy for being an important part of our daughter's memorable day!
Christy WOW! She works magic! She’s so gentle yet determined. I literally felt I ended up looking like a magazine bride. My now husband was afraid I would not look like myself since I usually use natural make up and id like to say he fell in love with me again after Christy’s work. Not only my make up, but she did amazing with my hair. I have naturally long very thick hair and somehow she make it look flawless! I loved the work she did on me. Thank you Christy! You are phenomenal!
I was sooo nervous about having my photo taken at my wedding, I'm so camera-shy but after Christy worked her magic I felt READY. She was so chill and fun to be around during the hours of makeup and hair, it was an awesome environment to be in while preparing to get married. She totally understood the look I wanted and her execution was flawless. As you can see from the photos- I was very much feeling myself :)
I cannot recommend her highly enough! Thank you Christy!
Christy did an absolutely amazing job for our October wedding!! We had 6 women getting their hair done, and Christy made sure to get there 5 minutes early so that we had enough time. My sister and I also have really thick hair - and wanted these delicate looking updos - and Christy made it look MAGICAL! She made it look so effortless - but when I took out all the bobby pins, I realized that she had put 50+ in there! It stayed put all night, and really made my wedding photos all that I wanted them to be <3 Thank you so much Christy - you are incredible!!
Christy has the best quality in a hair & makeup stylist which is listening to their clients. She made to sure to check in along the way at the trial and wedding day to make sure I was happy and she was on track. The trial was so comfortable and felt like hanging out with a friend. She perfectly re-created my inspiration photos and put my nerves to rest when she could sense I was uneasy.
She was prompt on the wedding day and even had my large bridal party ready early including final touch ups. She was extra gentle with the moms that are not as accustomed to the getting ready process (as compared to bridesmaids). Her additional artists were equally as talented and kind and made the day even more enjoyable.
Christy and her team did AMAZING work for my 8/14/21 wedding. She took my vision and brought it to life. She’s easy to talk to and really organized, which I appreciate. I had 4 bridesmaids, my mom, my grandma, and me(the bride). Everyone looked flawless throughout the ceremony and reception.
What isn’t there to say about Christy? She is the best in the business and I feel so blessed and honored to have had her do my hair and makeup for my wedding day on July 31, 2021. Christy went above and beyond to help me get my dream boho look.
Doing a trial is well worth the time and money because Christy really takes the time to understand the look you are going for and what works best for your particular hair and skin types. I was so glad I did a trial because, not only did I get the time to discuss my ideal look, Christy also put together an entire skin care routine for this tomboy bride who was previously on the soap and water regimen. I didn’t even realize how dry my skin was, and after a few weeks on Christy’s recommended regimen (which was all super simple and affordable products), I was a new woman. For that I am forever grateful.
Christy is super approachable and fun. She is someone who is easy to talk to and get to know, which is such an amazing trait in a hair and makeup artist because it makes it easy to give feedback and discuss your look.
While I loved my hair and makeup at my trial and it would have been great if it stayed exactly the same for my big day, I really appreciated that Christy took the time to analyze the pictures she took from the trial and make small changes in order to best fit the vibe of my wedding even more. She recreated my inspiration pictures to a T and I could not recommend Christy enough. I have never felt so beautiful in my life and I owe it all to Christy. I am so happy to say that in hiring Christy, not only did I gain a killer makeup and hair artist, I gained a new friend. I VERY HIGHLY recommend Christy for hair and makeup for any occasion.
Christy was amazing and she really made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. I showed her some inspo pictures and she nailed the makeup and hairstyle perfectly. I highly recommend Christy!!! She also was super nice and friendly.
I was truly floored by the work Christy did on my hair. I didn't even do a trial, and just trusted that she would be able to get it done and she delivered. I looked at her previous work, sent her a few examples and the execution was unreal. Besides the quality of her work, the people I had in the room with me while getting ready was massively important, I did NOT want a company that just brought in a big group of random people to get us ready. I wanted a very relaxed environment and someone whose company I enjoyed being around because I knew I would get a little anxious. Christy hit every mark, she brought her assistant Amber and they were incredible. Again, from the quality of their work, their personalities and their professionalism, you can NOT go wrong picking her for your big day! I'm trying to find another event I can attend to have an excuse to have my hair look so good!
She was so so sweet & down to earth!! She did all the bridesmaids/bride hair and did exactly what we asked for!!! Zero complaints and would hire her in a heartbeat!
Amazing!!! My hair never holds a curl and lasted a full 12 hours!! Was able to recreate the photo I showed her perfectly!
I found Christy through Instagram. Her style is amazing and was exactly what i was looking for. She is so helpful in answering in detail with any questions you have for you vision for your special day. She is the sweetest i absolutely loved my hair for my wedding !! I can’t stop looking at all my pictures my hair made the whole look!!!
I found Christy while browsing through Instagram for a hair stylist, as my wedding was approaching quickly, and a previous artist bailed. She was so quick to respond, very thorough, and without even meeting her, I knew 1,000% that she was going to be my hairstylist for my special day! She is so sweet and made me feel like I deserved everything I had envisioned for mine, my bridesmaid's, and families hairstyles for my wedding day. I had sent Christy inspo for different hairstyles for myself, and after scheduling a trial with her, we learned that the hairstyle was not for me. Rest assured, Christy was so accommodating and able to give me EXACTLY what I wanted for my wedding day. She was attentive to my needs, what worked for me, and what didn't. She truly gave me my "Egyptian Goddess" fantasy. My half-up, half-down do lasted ALL night, and my 6 bridesmaids up-dos lasted all night as well which received many compliments. STUNNING! I can't wait until we can collaborate one day again in the future! She is officially someone I can call a friend for life!
Christy was my HMU artist for my wedding. Without a doubt, she was an essential person to my day as all eyes would be looking at her handy work. From the beginning (and up until my big day), Christy was super responsive to my inquiries, moreso, I noticed she offered outstanding communication and answered all my many questions clearly and thoroughly. This was truly appreciated because she helped relieve a lot of stress which admittedly you never know what you’re going to get out of wedding vendors these days; especially when they ask for deposits before you work with them. I had several ideas of how I wanted to look, but the hard part was to narrow down the ideas to what my vision was. Christy was patient in laying out what was needed to achieve these looks and breakdown for me my options. I’m not very artistic and quite low maintenance, therefore Christy’s talent, artistic visions and recommendations were very helpful to me. And ultimately my only goal was I wanted to look beautiful. Christy was professional and offered great advice and recommendations. From helping me match my extensions to my hair color and giving me options that would work with my budget from skincare regimen and products that would help improve the longevity and quality of my skin long after the wedding. On my wedding day, Christy was punctual and came prepared with notes from my trial. She never complained and always had a positive attitude. While I was mending a broken ankle even on my wedding day, she was so understanding and accommodating throughout. This just goes to show that I was working with a real professional whose ultimate goal was for me to look and feel beautiful even when I was concerned and wanted to change small things about my look. Christy remained calm under pressure and didn’t skip a beat. Ultimately, I received many compliments on my make-up and even more on my hair which lasted all night long and didn’t require a touch-up even though she left me a little kit in case I needed it. She’s got a whole bag of tricks and quality make-up and hair products to make any person look radiant. Furthermore, I noticed she was very sanitary and practiced clean and safe methods while working. My experience with Christy was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking to beautify themselves for a special occasion.
Christy is the most amazing makeup and hair artist! I am so happy I booked her for my wedding!!!
I stumbled across her makeup page on Instagram, and told my sister she should try her out for a wedding HMU trial. My sister hired Christy for her wedding and Christy did my bridesmaid HMU. I loved her style and immediately booked her for my wedding.
Christy is so attentive to detail and made sure to always confirm I liked the way my makeup looked. She does tons of wedding so she would also give me her feedback as an expert, but I never felt dismissed. She somehow always knew exactly what I wanted. Christy and her team is also very hygienic and would sanitize often. Her prices are reasonable and she does a great job listening to her clients. I love that she can do a K-beauty natural makeup look for my sister, but was also able to do full glam look with pink glitter for me. My makeup stayed on well during the whole wedding and I didn't have any issues during the night.
Now that Christy has done my bridal HMU and my sister's bridal HMU for her wedding we feel like she is part of the family. We can't wait to hire her again for other special events!
Dream wedding hair! Christy is so sweet and talented, and was just lovely to work with! I found Christy while searching for hair stylists in the area for my wedding on May 21st. She was quick to respond, very thorough, and was knowledgable in helping me decide what would be best for my hair-type, the vibe of my wedding, and the style of my dress. I first did a hair trial with Christy, and loved chatting with her while testing out a couple different hair-dos. She was gentle and paid attention to the care of my hair to not damage or pull anything too tightly.
I ended up falling in love with the long, thick, glossy curls as my hairstyle. Come wedding time, Christy gave me great tips to help me prep my hair to have it really moisturized and shiny for the day-of. She also rocked out other gorgeous half-up styles for my 5 bridesmaids. Each girlfriend of mine loved their hair. I was so glad Christy was part of my glam team for my big day! She helped things go smoothly and was able to bring my vision to life for such a special day. Thank you so much Christy!!
Christy and her team made my couture, elegant bridal look come to life! From the moment I reached out to Christy she has been super sweet. I was in between 2 different hairstyles and she was able to do both styles for me during our hair trial to finally help me make the final hair decision. I wanted a couture up do twist and Christy was able to make that happen. I received so many compliments on my hair. She is very detailed and was always making sure I was happy every step of the way which I really appreciated. Karen, her makeup artist, is also very sweet and was also always making sure I was happy with every little thing she was doing as well, keeping me involved in the decision making for my final look.
All of my bridesmaids were also very happy with their hair and makeup on the big day. One of the girls had a bad experience with false lashes but Karen was able to apply just a few individual lashes that she ended up loving! Everyone looked fabulous and Christy and her team was able to finish everyone's looks by the requested timeline. Christy was very accommodating with all of my requests and I highly recommend her and her team for your big day!
Christy is absolutely amazing and SO good at what she does!! I watched Christy do my friend's HMU on her wedding day (she actually also left an amazing review here too!) and knew she was the one! I feel soooo lucky to have been able to book Christy for HMU for my wedding day: even without being able to do a trial run because of COVID 19, Christy perfectly captured who I was in hair and make up!! You know, I'm really not the type of girl to know exactly what I want, especially when it comes to hair and make up. But with the little description I gave Christy, she NAILED it. I've received sooo many complements and our wedding photos came out amazing!!
During the process, Christy has been very down to earth, chill, affirming, so easy to talk to... I literally changed plans like 3 times and Christy remained so so very understanding and supportive throughout the whole processes! Definitely recommending Christy to anyone looking for an amazing HMU artist!!
Christy is extremely thorough, detailed oriented and professional. At every stage of planning my wedding look she was excellent at listening to my ideas and providing ideas when needed. Christy paid close attention to the little details and executed every thing so seamlessly together exactly how I had envisioned it. She was so easy to work with and so helpful making thing run SO smoothly and taking a load of me witch made me feel relaxed and stress free! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
if you’re looking for a hair & makeup artist, look no further. just book christy! she is really the best at what she does. i had the honor of getting my HMU done by christy for my wedding and she made me feel so beautiful and confident! she understood my vision for the whole BOHO, soft glam look and exceeded my expectations. my mom, sister, and MIL loved her! in fact, my sister liked her so much that she booked her on the day of my wedding for her own wedding this following spring! i got so many compliments on my wedding day. christy is not only the best at what she does but she is also such a kind, understanding soul. during these pandemic times, she really made it a point to emphasize that safety and health come first and she was able to implement all of this with comfort and ease. this is not the end of my friendship with christy and i plan to go to her for any other major events in the future!
