WOWPRETTY Prefessional Makeup and Hair

Jira and her team are amazing, and they will make you look and feel like a star! :) They were not just on time, but early, were done on time (something that apparently rarely happens), and made me and my bridesmaids look gorgeous. Thank you Jira, Elena and Yoong!

Jira is amazing. Not only is she beautiful but she is also a very kind person. The thing I valued most able Jira is her honesty. So many vendors will tell you want to hear---not Jira---she straight up tells you the truth. You don't know how much I appreciated that.She did an outstanding job helping me create the "look" I wanted for my wedding---1920s old Hollywood. My make-up and hair never looked so great. They looked so good, I now have her cut, color, and style my hair on a regular basis at her salon in San Mateo! Her team also did H & M for 6 other people in my wedding. All were pleased with her work and looked great.Finally, Jira made communication super easy. She is very responsive over email, always returning calls/emails within 24 hours. Her contracting is straight forward and she was even EARLY to do my H & M on wedding day.Overall experience: A+!

I hired Jira and her team to do hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my future sister-in-law, and the mothers. Jira is the owner and head makeup artist for Wow Pretty. She is very talented and she makes what she does look effortless. Her team is professional, friendly, and, most importantly, very good at what they do. Jira did a terrific job at my hair & makeup trial and it was a no brainer to hire her. Additionally, if you want a guy's opinion, my now husband thought my hair and makeup from the trial looked great too. She has tons of experience and her website shows all the brides she has worked with and the positive testimonials. She's very responsive via email. On the wedding day, she and her team showed up promptly and efficiently got to work since we had so many people. The final product was gorgeous - natural, not overworked; it didn't even feel like I had makeup on. The airbrushing is awesome. It makes your skin look so smooth. Everyone was satisfied with their hair and makeup. I can vouch that all of the women's hair held up the entire night. It rained during my ceremony and my makeup still held. I thought her prices were reasonable given the quality product I was getting. With Jira and her team helping you on the day of, it's one less thing you need to worry about. As a bride, that's gold.

The first thing I learned when I started planning my wedding and looking for vendors was that everyone wants to be your friend, get your business, and take your money. I had already seen several stylist, and was actually already booked with one, but I booked with them because they were good nothing more.At the trial, Jira was more than just a stylist, asking me for what I envisioned. She is an honest friend, someone who I felt wouldn't let me not have a beautiful and glamorous wedding. As a bride with a vision, you may think you know exactly what you want, but Jira would put her foot down on things she just knew wouldn't end up well. Take her advice, she sees many brides before and after and probably hears it all (the good, the bad, the thank you, and the regrets). I took her advice, and am so glad that I did. In fact, it's changed how I do my everyday make up, and I get compliments even though I'm not a bride anymore.Other stylist, just did what I asked, and yes I looked beautiful, but you could tell they didn't share the same passion for my wedding day as I did. After my trial, I cancelled my other stylist and booked with WowPretty. Trust me, you know you've found the right one, when they share the same excitement about your wedding as you do. It's your wedding, surround yourself with those who won't let you fail. Thank you Jira!

Felt like the most beautiful girl in the world!
, after getting married on Jan 30th, 2011, and just had to leave a few words about Yoong from Wow Pretty, she was so incredible. Yoong and her assistant came round the morning of my wedding, and completely transformed me, my two bridesmaids, and my mom, and I still can't get over how amazing we all looked!! I received so many compliments on our hair, and how 'glowing & radiant' our make-up looked, and it stayed on all day. Yoong was an absolute pleasure to spend the morning with, and I would 100% recommend her to anybody looking for a perfect wedding.


Yoong thank you so much for everything.After several trials with other people i came across you thank god. my hair and makeup was everything i had wished for and more,my bridesmaids and mum looked amazing. im so glad i had you there on the morning of my wedding you were fantastic above the call of your duty and i will always remember you as one of the nicest people i have ever met as well as being the best in the field at your job xx

Just want to drop words that Wowpretty team did SUCH an amazing job on my wedding day on Nov 5, 2010. Yoong , Elena, and Sylive are 3 senior stylists from Wowpretty, they arrived 10 min before the time. My 7 BMs, 2 Moms, and I were absolutely satisfied with the make-up and hair they did. I got so many compliments from friends and family specially My husband~ love it!! And also I really love the "air brush" technique which Wowpretty team used different foundation than another stylists since I have tried a bunch bay area makeup artists in the past 3 years. I can hardly feel that I am wearing and makeup. I would like to say highly to Wowpretty team. They did a wonderful job as well on my best friend weddings on Sept 12, 2010 and Aug 22, 2010.Rachel!

If I could give Yoong (WowPretty) and her team a 10 star rating, I would do it in a second. The Wowpretty company was the first name to pop up in my internet search after my first (and only) botched hair and make-up trial with another vendor. After reading Yoong's glowing reviews online, I had to do a test trial right away; which I knew would be worth it...and it WAS. Yoong and her team were so professional, talented and sweet on the day of my wedding. They were so friendly, I felt like they were my guests...Thank you very much Yoong You made my special day extra special...

My hair and make up was exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. My skin looked flawless because Jira uses airbrush make up which matched my natural skintone. I loved my eye make up; a great balance between sexy and natural. My make up lasted all day and night. Thanks Jira!

Yoong a senior styles at wowpretty did a great job on my hair and make up for my wedding day. I received many compliments on my hair and makeup. The make up stayed on the whole day and it came out looking very natural and very nice in person and in pictures. I recommend Yoong if you are having a wedding because she is prompt and she does a very good job at making you look your best.Thank you so much for helping me look my best on my special day!Marry M.

Jira was a pleasure to work with on my wedding day. I had two ceremonies in one day and she was able to accomodate my bridal party and myself for the entire day. Her team is very talented and I would recomment her services to any bride looking to look beautiful on her wedding day. My makeup was perfect at the end of the night after my long wedding day that started at 6 a.m. and ended at midnight. Thank you, Jira for being so talented.

Jira is not your ordinary makeup artist, she is a makeup magician! Having worked with a few other makeup artists on previous occasions, I can truly speak to the difference. She does not make the stiff and chalky faces that you often see on traditional brides. Rather, her artwork is very light and natural-looking, as well as fashionable. My fiance was so amazed by the results of my hair & makeup trial that he kept saying "it's like the work of magic!" I had always dreamed of walking down the aisle looking my best. Thanks to Jira, my dream came true on the wedding day!

Jira is amazing! I worked with Jira for my engagement session and also on my wedding day. She is very good about listening to what I want and was able to create the looks that I wanted for my engagement session and my wedding. She and her team worked on me and my 3 bridesmaids and everyone looked so beautiful! On my wedding day, I had originally wanted my hair down. It was an outdoor ceremony, but just my luck, there were STRONG winds outside. Jira was quick, calm, and collected with plan B and ended up giving me a beautiful updo and it stayed put! Jira and her team are very professional -- they arrived a few minutes early and finished in time for my wedding photo sessions to begin. This type of professionalism is so important because you do not need added stress on your wedding day.I highly recommend Jira's services!

Jira of WOWPRETTY did an AMAZING job for my wedding earlier this year. I was so happy with the results--both for my makeup trial and the actual wedding day! Everyone was complementing me and were saying that they loved my hair and makeup job. Jira listened to everything I wanted and came up with some innovative suggestions. I can't imagine using anyone else for an important occasion and recommend Jira and WOWPRETTY very highly!!

Jira is an amazing make-up artist and hair stylist. The first time I met Jira was at my wedding trial appointment. I was so impressed with her work at my trial appointment, that I booked her right away for my wedding day and for the day before, so I can look good at both my wedding and my rehearsal dinner party. For my wedding weekend (when more photos will be taken of me, than at any other time in my entire life), I wouldn't trust my hair and make-up to anyone but Jira.

I was a BM for my best friend wedding. she hired Jira / Wow Pretty on her wedding 5 years ago so now It was my turn and look for a good makeup artists and hair stylists for my wedding 7/10/2009. I decided to hire Wow Pretty team which had all what I wanted airbrush, Makeup, hair, travel, big team, and touchup neededThe price was OVER my budget but unfortunately that I liked her/her team. I, 7 BMS, and 2 moms needed M&H done. The result was so excellent. Jira was SO Great and also Sylive, Yoong, Elena, and another guy I can not remember his name. Our M&H was last - midnight but started from 8am , not needed touchup much just for one time lipstick and a power touchup which provided from Jira cosmetic, called Jira (couture ) I think, and also they were a good team work and good attitude. I would recommend to every bride. They had positive energy, on time, and natural professional. A makeup artist will be the 1st vendor on your wedding day so it is very important to choose the right team to start on your big day. it is not just only M&H for wedding that they can do but also provide you a good hi-light and cut before my big day.

Jira did my engagement session and wedding day hair and makeup last year and I couldn't be happier with the results on both occasions. She made me look and feel so beautiful and glamorous. (One of my guy friends even told me that I looked like a model at the wedding!) Usually, I don't like to wear much make-up but Jira is truly an artist and can make anyone feel/look beautiful and natural, which is pretty significant when it comes to wedding events. I have some acne scarring and blemishes and I was afraid that these would be visible in the wedding photographs but she was able to conceal these imperfections and still have the makeup look natural. Jira is really sweet, professional, easy to talk to, responsive, detail-oriented, and good at listening to what you want. She really takes the time to listen and understand what you're looking for.For both my engagement session and wedding day, I had the airbrush makeup and fake lashes put on - which I highly recommend for the bride. The makeup lasts for over 12+ hours and Jira gave me a complimentary touch-up kit for use throughout the day. (Although, I didn't have to touch up at all for the rest of the day). I brought my own lipstick (but this is a more personal thing because I'm more picky about this). Depending on the package you choose, Jira will help you figure out how much time is needed to get everyone's H/M done and also anything else that might come up. On the wedding day, Jira and her assistant arrived punctually at my hotel and they were both so fun, friendly, and professional to work with. They did such a great job on me and my bridesmaids. (I'm Asian and a few of my bridesmaids are Caucasian but all of our makeup came out beautiful). Also, our hair stayed in place all day, which is pretty impressive given all the moving around.Her services were worth every penny and more. Wedding hair and makeup is so important! And so is trust. After the engagement session, I knew that I could trust Jira and WoWPretty for the big day. I cannot recommend WoWPretty enough.

Wowpretty was really amazing on my wedding day. When I went for my trial with Jira she gave me the exact look I wanted and dreamed of. On my wedding day she went right to work and created that same look with no problems. Jira is really talented and takes her business very seriously, however, I feel like I made a good friend when I met Jira. She cared a lot about what I wanted and did everything I asked to make it happen. She was so easy to work with and made me look great. The cost of Wowpretty was great, I felt it was a good deal and I would highly recommend Wowpretty to anyone and everyone. Thanks Jira.

Sylvie from Wow pretty did my make-up for my wedding. We did the Air-brush make-up. Our trial went well, but for the day-of, I requested Sylvie make some minor adjustments to her original make-up. She recalled our colors and original plan to the dot and was very flexible about my requests. Sylvie made me look gorgeous and I still looked like myself, which was exactly what I asked of her. My make-up lasted all day and all night. I only had to re-touch my lipstick and blot some oil off twice. Sylvie was a pleasure to work with, she is very sweet and accomodating, she listens to your concerns and requests and I would highly recommend Sylvie to others.

I had my trial with Senior Stylist Yoong at Wowpretty and I absolutely loved her. My wedding was on March 2009, and I was so delighted that I found someone who can do an amazing job with air brush makeup. I usually never wear makeup, but after the trial, my mom and sister were very impressed with Yoong's abilities.On the day of the wedding she came with another stylist to take care of my bridesmaids so that she could focus on me.She arrived on time and did a wonderful job and wowpretty is a great vendor that you can count on for your wedding day.I recommend Yoong for doing you hair and make up for any special event..Thank you so much Yoong for the picture perfect memories!
