“My micro-wedding came together in two weeks and Jean made herself available right away. She did an amazing job on me, both my sisters' hair and makeup, and my sister-in-law's hair. We all have different hair and skin textures so she asked us what we each wanted and personalized each look to our personal hair and makeup styles! We all felt extremely confident as our hair and makeup stayed in-tact from 12p.m. to 12 a.m. and if it's any indication of how great she did...

... my sisters would not stop taking selfies of themselves my entire wedding day!! Jean was also so fun to have in the bridal suite during the morning or the wedding - she felt like a friend, which made the early morning/anticipation of the wedding that much more relaxed and enjoyable. I already booked her for our large one-year anniversary party for next year!!”

“Jean was an exceptionally professional and kind makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding photos. As a COVID bride, I already felt a little uneasy and unsure about taking photos just to celebrate our wedding, but Jean made me feel excited and absolutely gorgeous. Her kit was expansive and very clean. She even helped me get ready in our apartment! I hope to have another excuse to work with her again!...

... My makeup lasted all night and I could not stop smiling because my hair! Book her!”

“Jean Kim is an experienced hair and makeup specialist and I couldn't be happier with her services. She is reliable, fair and extremely professional. I had a difficult time articulating my vision for my engagement shoot, and Jean was able to manifest the dream look I had been yearning for! She provided suggestions the week before and was really flexible. Her set up and approach adhered to all COVID safety measures, so I feel comfortable the entire time. As we were...

...finishing the service, my fiance mentioned he was insecure about his rosacea and Jean kindly agreed to help him out. She made him look completely natural and I have never seen my fiance so confident! Highly recommended :) ”

“Having monolid eyes, I have struggled since 14 to find makeup artists who knew how to work well with the shape of my eyes. I’m now 38. Jean Kim is a gem and hands down worth the investment! I was looking to either spend money on one day’s worth of bridesmaid makeup OR spend money learning how to do my make up one-on-one with Jean so it was a no brainer, I wanted to learn on top of looking pretty. ...

...She made learning the fundamentals simple and at a relaxed pace, building off of the make up and tools I already own and using my inspiration photos to create my favorite look. She’s professional and great at responding so that makes things much easier and put me completely at ease, we all know how stressful it is trying to get the right look for this momentous day! Jean asked me for photos of looks that I was going for and what tools and make up I had, that way I didn’t need to buy a ton of extra stuff; she’s considerate, accommodating and smart. We planned for 3 sessions in 3 weeks: 1) she applied and explained in detail a full face of makeup, 2) split my face 50/50 she did one side and I did the other, 3) she walked me through as I applied a full face. Following all COVID safety measures, she showed up glowing and beaming from behind a mask and outfitted with magical bags of makeup goodies. In the first lesson, she patiently walked me through what each product does and how it reacts to my complexion as she applied it, showed me tips about blending, waiting a certain amount of time to set something, applying lashes/mascara/eyeliner. It’s all about the tips to keep from caking, running, getting oily through the day. She used just a couple of her own products on me as I didn’t have them, she made budget friendly suggestions on items I desperately needed and ones I could do without. Nothing frivolous. Second lesson we did the 50/50 split which was very informative, educational and telling. She really is a master of her craft; she helped me angle my brush correctly, blend better with brushes and beauty blender, apply products in the correct areas- this is so important. This was the lesson I learned the most during, the side by side, you can really see the value of these one-on-one classes. The final lesson, she watched me apply a full face and only corrected me when I needed help, solidifying that her teachings and techniques are memorable and effective. Two weeks later, day of the wedding, I looked and felt beautiful in 87 degree heat at 5pm. Thank you, Jean, you made this possible."

“Jean did my hair and makeup along with my mother and mother in laws make up for my micro wedding! Leading up to the event she was accommodating and quick to respond! She showed up on time and ready to hustle as she had 3 of us to work on. She was extremely professional and followed Covid guidelines to keep not only us but herself safe as well. She was pleasant to work with and really listened to the look...

... we wanted and made it happen. She truly made me feel like a beautiful bride on my big day! My hair and makeup held the entire day (in 100 degree heat I may add). Both moms looked stunning thanks to Jean! She made us all feel special. I would highly recommend her for any hair and makeup needs!”

"We had our wedding scheduled for July 2020. About a month before our wedding, we found out we wouldn't be able to have the big celebration we had been planning for due to COVID-19 and we had to readjust our plans. We decided to still have a small local wedding, but all of our original vendors we had booked were in a different area so we scrambled to plan a new wedding essentially...

...Enter Jean Kim- the makeup artist extraordinaire! I found Jean Kim through a bridal Facebook group and she was wonderful from the beginning. She was quick to reply to my messages and put my mind at ease about doing my makeup on my wedding day. Since it was so last minute, I asked her about doing my makeup for my shower the day before my wedding as my trial and she agreed. She also offered to do my hair for my shower. I was so pleased with both days and LOVED the way I looked. The pictures from both the shower and wedding turned out great thanks to her stellar work! I will definitely be using Jean Kim again in the future!”

"Jean was my makeup artist and hair stylist for my wedding. She did an excellent job-my makeup was flawless and my hair was beautiful. From the trial to the finishing touches on my wedding day, she asked the right questions to understand what I wanted and made sure her work matched my expectations...

...She was also easy to work with and very communicative, from setting up my trial through finishing touches on my wedding day. I highly recommend Jean for her makeup and hair services.”

“Jean made me feel like an absolute princess on my wedding day! I didn't really know what I wanted, so Jean put me at ease and made great recommendations along the way. I really appreciated her ‘chairside manner’ as she always checked in with me to make sure I was doing ok or was satisfied with the work she had done. My husband absolutely loved the final result. Thank you so much, Jean!”

"Jean is AWESOME! She was so wonderful to work with on my wedding day. I hired her to do hair and makeup for my maid of honor and myself. She arrived early and had everything set up on time. Both my MOH and myself were so pleased at how our looks turned out. She really nailed it; I'd never felt more beautiful. Given the opportunity, I'd hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely nice Hair and Makeup Artist."

“I am incredibly grateful to this talented chick! Jean made me feel so beautiful on our special Elopement Adventure Day when we had professional photos capture our magical moments together while we explored downtown LA! My hair looked classy and elegant with soft curls tucked into a pretty leaf crown that I adored for the theme and season and my skin looked...

... flawless and bright as she brought out my favorite features. I was so happy how the photos turned out and even more impressed with her personal grace and care throughout the process. She even provided touch up items because it was such a hot day! Hoping I can work with Jean again when I get my headshots taken!"

“Jean did my hair & make up for my engagement shoot & wants to make sure you are comfortable, whether you want a full face glam or minimal makeup. She makes you feel beautiful in your own skin.”
