During the makeup test, Linh provided excellent ideas and did a great job with false eyelashes. She made me feel listened to and I was very happy with the results. On the wedding day, she was prompt and highly professional doing my hair and makeup along with the hair of my matron of honor. I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a top notch wedding day. Her styling of my curly hair
was done well and enhanced the look of my curls. Her pricing was reasonable and zi felt she made me look my best

Linh was such a joy to work with! I booked her for both my trial and wedding day hair and makeup, and she was amazing throughout the entire process. During the trial, she shared really helpful tips for skin exfoliation and thinning hair, which I greatly appreciated. She was also so easy to talk to, making the whole experience comfortable and relaxed.
I loved how she really brought out my natural beauty. My makeup and hair stayed put all day and never felt uncomfortable at any point!
Linh is very responsive, organized, and personable. I’d highly recommend her for any big event!

Linh was so amazing to work with! I booked her for myself and my bridesmaids, and could not have been more pleased with the results. Case in point, I have known one of my bridesmaids for nearly 20 years, and I have never seen her eyebrows look as good as after Linh was finished with them. Not only is she extremely skilled, she was also so fun to talk to, thoughtful, and definitely matched the energy we had while getting ready. For my part, even though it was a joy and tear-filled day, my makeup lasted all night and into the after-party. Thank you so much Linh!

Once I set a date for my wedding, Linh was one of the first vendors I booked. I wanted to make sure I reserved her team far in advance! I came across her work through instagram, and I was impressed with how easy it was to start the conversation and share my thoughts and inspiration for the big day.
As someone with sensitive skin and eczema, I was a little concerned that the products may cause my face to flare. However, Linh wasn't phased- she has experience with all ranges of skin types and knew exactly how to combat my skin challenges. She had a clear protocol of skincare tips and tricks starting well before my wedding day.
On the day of, she and her team were prompt and well prepared with a huge collection of high quality products. She started with a moisturizing base and effortlessly matched my undertone while making conversation and putting me at ease. She thinks of the little things, and made sure to leave our lips for last to allow us to continue eating throughout the morning! Linh thought about the whole bridal look too, and advised a bolder false lash look than I was initially used to. I don't usually wear much make up or lashes, and I was hesitant, but I recommend FULL TRUST in her intuition!! I had a large, princess gown and her make up recommendations helped ensure my face and lashes matched the entire look.
My bridesmaids were obsessed with their make up as well! We couldn't believe the way our hair and make up lasted from the early hours of the morning all the way til the end of the night. Sweat and tear-proof! All in all, Linh and her partner Lien (from Lien de Long Artistry) were amazing -- I recommend you reach out right away!

We were so fortunate to work with Linh for our wedding in August. As someone who doesn’t regularly wear makeup, I was a bit timid/worried about how I’d feel about all of it, but Linh was super attentive to my concerns and created a look that made me feel beautiful AND comfortable on my wedding day. Despite not wearing makeup, all of the products worked great for my skin and I had no reactions to anything she used! Linh was also very professional and timely in her responses, making it super easy to communicate my desires/needs.
In addition to being a talented hair and makeup artist, Linh was just really awesome to chat and hang out with during the entire process. I’d highly recommend Linh for hair and makeup and will certainly be keeping her number around for future occasions!

Linh was a wonderful makeup artist and hair stylist. From the trial, it was easy to give her direction and feedback - she is very accommodating while also giving tips. I’m so appreciative for all the attention to detail she took with my thick hair. She was very patient with the mother of the bride as well, making sure she felt confident in her look as well. I highly recommend Linh for any event!

I hired Linh for my wedding day hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids and MOB/MOG. Linh is very professional and easy to communicate with. She listened to my feedback from the trial (done several months before the wedding) and incorporated my feedback into the final look. I was impressed by the staying power of both the hair and makeup, since my wedding was outdoors and my hair was down. All of the ladies looked beautiful and enjoyed spending the wedding morning with Linh and her second artist, Lien. I found her pricing competitive but valuable to other artists in the area and appreciated her quick responses when communicating by email and phone. Thank you, Linh!

Had my hair and makeup done by Linh for my wedding and she was great! Very responsive and professional, extremely knowledgeable. Hair and makeup looked great in pictures and held up throughout the day. She did a great job with adding in hair extensions and was thoughtful about creating my look with the inspo pictures in mind. I also appreciated her prompt and thorough communication leading up to the wedding as well as during the actual appointment. She sought out my feedback and was very receptive. Thank you so much Linh!

Hi Brit,
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It truly means a lot to me that you t...
ook the time to share your experience.
It was an absolute honor to be a part of your special day and a joy to get to know you both. Thank you for sharing about how you met. I could feel the love you have for each other. There was just so much love in the air that day.
I’m thrilled that you loved your hair and makeup, especially without a trial run. You were so trusting and open to my suggestions, and I can’t thank you enough for that. And getting the hair extensions was a great one, wasn't it? They added that perfect touch of volume and elegance. Brides like you remind me why I love what I do.
Wishing you both a lifetime filled with happiness, love, and unforgettable adventures. May your journey together be as beautiful as your wedding day.
Best regards,
Linh N.

Linh was absolutely wonderful to work with for my wedding day! She was professional, warm, and brought such great energy—it really set the tone for a fun and calm morning. From the start, communication was seamless. I appreciated how easy it was to book with her, and she sent over a detailed schedule right away that synced with my calendar, which made planning so much easier.
The quality of the makeup and hair services was fantastic. Linh used products that suited each of us perfectly, and I could tell all my bridesmaids felt beautiful and confident. Their looks held up flawlessly throughout the entire day and night, even through lots of dancing and happy tears! Everything ran smoothly in terms of timing and organization, and I never felt rushed or stressed.
I’m so grateful we were able to book Linh—she was a key part of making the day feel special

Linh's fabulous and I'd highly recommend you to reach out to her for her services. Not only does she take the time to listen, but she also gives suggestions along the way without pushing you to feel one way or another.
I had shared inspiration pics with her prior and she took the time to re-confirm my decision before proceeding. Not once did I feel like she didn't respect my opinion. She was personable and friendly and my makeup turned out great and lasted all day without any issues. I'm grateful for Linh for her time and experience!

Hi Venus, thank you SO much for your amazing 5-star review! 💖 I'm beyond grateful you too...

Hope to glam you up again soon—you're always welcome in my chair! 💄✨

I highly recommend Linh Artistry for wedding make up or any special occasion. She did my makeup trial for my engagement photo shoot and my wedding day. She was very professional and personable throughout the process and communicated very well. She was prompt with email communications. During the actual time she was applying make up, she engaged me by asking what look I was going for so she could figure out what I wanted and would also tell me what she thought would look good and worked with me so we could create the look I wanted. I trusted her judgement. She did it!
I was going for the soft glamour look and she nailed it! (the hair, the make up...the entire look!). So many of my friends commented how they loved both my engagement photos on display and thought my MUA did a great job and of course on my wedding day I received so many compliments. My sister and I appreciated her skill even more after looking at the wedding photos later. I thought she did a good job on the make up trial and thought she did fantastic on my wedding day. Looking at the photos, I could see as a MUA she understands the layers of make- up appropriate for just sitting for photographs that differ for viewing in person/and photography. She really knows how to use make-up to accentuate your natural beauty. (particularly as an Asian woman I was impressed that she could bring out features with her make-up artistry -for instance making my nasal bridge more prominent in photos). She takes feedback well on the trial and incorporates that on the wedding day.
I wore false eye-lashes (which isn't often, so initially I could feel them. but they were not particularly heavy. For the wedding day I went for something a bit subtler and lighter but you could still see them. The lashes stayed on all evening and the next day even so she did a good job gluing them on. (I removed them after),
For my hair, she had a good idea of how tight to make my curls so they would look soft and loose depending on the time until being photographed which differed for the trial/engagement shoot and my actual wedding day. The curls were soft and lasted the entire wedding into the night. They didn't go flat and I didn't feel my hair was plastered with hair spray. I ended up using hair extensions for the wedding. Although she did not work with that during the trial she really did an amazing job folding it in so it looked natural. She did exactly what I had wanted. I absolutely loved my hair the day of the wedding.
Overall, the make up quality was very good as it lasted over 10 hours. I didn't really need a touch up in the evening for the reception. The make up was suitable for my skin type (which is dry and oily in some areas). I didn't have any reactions after (my face is pretty sensitive) .
The morning of the wedding, she arrived on time. She did my mother's make up and my sister's make up and then my make-up and hair. We did not feel rushed and she stayed on schedule. She is flexible- can travel to your home or you can go to her studio. Overall, I think Linh did an amazing job! She will bring out and highlight your beauty. You will look beautiful! Best decision ever- as these photos will last my lifetime. I greatly appreciated her services. She knows her craft and is highly skilled.

Thank you for such detailed review, Yen. It truly means the world to me to hear about your...
experience with me. I absolutely had a blast getting to to know you and your family.
I am so glad you went with my advice and added on hair extensions. They really made a difference in length and fullness which really shows in all of your photos.

My bridal party and I loved Linh and her assistants! Throughout the process, Linh was very responsive, flexible, and knowledgable. I very much appreciated the hair and makeup trial so I could adjust to exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. I cannot praise her and her team highly enough!

Linh is incredibly responsive, flexible and professional. She's been in the business for over 15 years and it shows. This was my first time ever doing hair and makeup and she was incredibly organized, which made me feel really at ease. She sent me calendar invites, skin prep instructions and was available over text to chat about inspiration for makeup and answer my questions. On the day of my wedding she arrived on time and was an incredibly calming presence. She constantly checked in on me and offered suggestions when I wasn't sure what I wanted. And when she realized how much hair I had (which was a lot) she rushed to finish it all on time. The results were amazing! I am so excited to get the profesisonal photos back.

I highly recommend Lihn for your hair and makeup on your wedding day. She is highly professional and knowledgeable. Lihn was my hair and makeup artist this past July for my wedding. My hair and makeup lasted the whole night even though it was very hot (90+ degrees in Livermore, CA that day). My makeup looked so natural. I don't normally wear any makeup and I had never gotten my makeup done professionally before, and so I was very apprehensive about getting my makeup done. Linh is very personable and friendly and she made me feel comfortable with the process. I had a trial about two months before the wedding and I was really glad I had that opportunity since it gave me time afterwards to explore different options and experiment with different colors, etc. On my wedding day, Linh arrived on time and she really listened to me and worked with me to achieve the look that I wanted. I was so pleased and I felt like I wasn't wearing any makeup at all and felt like my authentic self. Linh also did an updo for my 16 year old daughter and bridesmaid. It was a very classic look that also lasted the whole night.

Absolutely made me feel gorgeous on my big day. Communication was amazing, and she was so gentle and took her time in the best of ways. I never felt like my makeup was heavy or too much, and it lasted all day in a July wedding. My hair never cooperates, and despite a ton of sweating, nothing moved, and only my baby hairs started to lose their style. Highly recommend!

I've just had my makeup trial with Linh, and she was very efficient in wanting to know what your style is and helping to elevate you into a beautiful bride look! Make up stayed on all day after a day at the beach for pictures, and hair was still beautiful after 7 hours! Makes me feel confident about the day of!

A friend of mine referred me to Linh Artisty since Linh did her makeup for her wedding. One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was to hire Linh Artistry for hair and makeup for me and my bridal party!! They were early, showed up with smiles on their faces (even though we started at 4am), and their personalities shined! We loved getting to know each artist as they were very genuine, especially Linh. I chose a soft glam with Hollywood waves and Linh nailed it! Thank you, Linh, for your help!!!
