Our Clients Say
Having Aya as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding was the best decision. My trial went smoothly and she was open to trying a few styles ! had picked out. That gave me confidence that the wedding day would be stress-free and easy.
It rained on my wedding day and the ceremony was outdoors, but Aya was prepared and she made sure my hair and makeup wouldn't budge while looking exactly how I wanted. She was actually early on the day so we were ahead of schedule, which I loved!
Professional, organised, friendly, and knows how to do Asian makeup and hair. Highly recommend!
