Absolutely amazing experience with Yaya! From my trial to the wedding day, everything was so smooth and easy. She is incredibly professional, attentive and very detail-oriented. I had six different looks throughout the day and every single one felt unique and beautifully designed. Yaya was honestly one of the most reliable and calming people to have around on such an important day. Couldn't recommend her enough.

I'm so lucky to have Jennifer as my makeup artist. Her skill is impeccable! The full face stayed on for the entire day since 9am and we only needed a bit of touch up before the first dance. She helped me create 3 different hair styles suitable for tea ceremony, main ceremony and reception. She is both efficient and pays great attention to details. Highly recommend her to be your personal stylist for your big day!
