Karen and Joe' s Wedding Photos on Aug 8, 2009



Jira was amazing to work with! I got married in August '09 and had my hair and make-up trial with her in October '08. I brought along inspiration photos to my trial session and Jira was really attentive to what I wanted for my wedding day. She was very sweet, relaxed, and easy to talk to. She was also able to recreate my inspiration photos perfectly!

I was extremely pleased with my trial and Jira's work that I booked her again for my engagement photos in June '09. She again recreated exactly what I wanted and I received a lot of compliments on my make-up and hair.

On our wedding day, Jira exceeded all expectations again! She made me feel relaxed and at ease which was very important. She also took her time and paid attention to detail. Jira also did hair and make-up for my mom. My mom's not very knowledgeable in this area and she doesn't really wear much make-up. However, my mom loved Jira's work and said she felt beautiful and received many compliments from her friends and family.


Jira used airbrush make-up and individual fake eyelashes on me, which I highly recommend. My hair and make-up lasted all day (12+ hours) and I didn't even have to re-touch once! I also received lots of compliments from friends and family. Even though it is one day, the money spent on hair and make-up was well worth it especially if it's with Jira. And you'll have gorgeous wedding photos to show for it =) It's important to have a hair and make-up artist that really listens to you and that you really trust.

Jira defnitely succeeded in making me feel sexy and look like a bride on my wedding day! Thank you so much , Jira!

Review long overdue...I used Jira and her team for my wedding hair and makeup last year and was pleased with the results. I visited her for a hair and makeup trial, where we did an up do and down do hairstyle. I was pleased with the results. I actually did a hair trial elsewhere, and my hair fell out of the style after only a couple of hours. That sealed the deal for me. Being Asian, it was really important to find someone who knew how to work with Asian hair and apply makeup on the sisters. I've had countless disasters of past makeup applications (sorry, yellow and mango eyeshadow do NOT look good on me; no, I have no eyelid flap so yes, contouring on me will be different; no, I don't want Asian princess bride look, sorry...).

The makeup felt great on my wedding day, didn't run, and my hair was awesome. She did a great job on my hair, which is really thick and sometimes hard to curl.

In sum, Jira is really nice and friendly, and a total kick. I would totally recommend her to anybody looking to do their hair and/or makeup for their wedding or any special occasion. Ladies, it is well worth the money spent to look gorgeous for your wedding day.

There are some things a bride can cut corners on, but makeup is NOT one of them. Your face will be front and center on everyone's camera, and no amount of photoshopping is going to beautify your face and hair like Jira does!

I spent a pretty penny on hair and makeup with Jira but it was worth every cent! Her stylings skills moved my husband to TEARS when he saw me!! He said he couldn't believe someone so incredibly beautiful was going to be his wife, and I'm not a naturally pretty girl.

The day of my wedding I forgot to bring my reference pictures but Jira had my trial photos and was all ready to go. She gave me an ice cold bottle of water which I held to keep me calm and cool on the big day, and I just let her work her magic. My hair and makeup turned out even better than at the trial! Everyone at my wedding loved how natural yet gorgeous my makeup was, and many asked me for Jira's name.

If you've had a trial session with Jira, don't worry if your makeup or hair is not quite up to wedding standards. It's just to let her try out what you're requesting, and she does listen very well to requests. I had two trials with her, and each time it seemed the work was draft quality and it seemed she would definitely run over time on the wedding day. It had me a little worried. BUT on the big day, not only was she such a perfectionist with every aspect of my face and hair, she finished fifteen minutes early! I guess this is the experience you pay for. On my false eyelashes alone, she spent maybe 45 minutes, making sure each one (four different lengths) was pointing the most natural way possible! My bridesmaids kept saying my lashes looked amazing but never suspected they were fake.

Jira really cares that you look your absolute best on your wedding day, and on the actual day, she may make some suggestions after seeing how your trial photos turn out. For example, I thought my trial photos looked okay, but on the wedding day, Jira said we needed to go darker on the eyes. At first, I panicked a little about making changes on the day of, but I trusted her expertise and my wedding photos turned out so much better because of it! My small Asian eyes really looked bigger than in my trial photos, but they weren't so dark as to look remotely goth. So a word of advice to all the brides-to-be...you may think you know, but Jira knows better. =)

Thank you so much, Jira, for making my husband cry - in a good way!

So, a few weeks ago my cousin setup an appointment with his wife's makeup artist.. me hesitant with ALL things makeup since i have superdupertruper sensitive skin and really hate wearing makeup.. i tried a session before at the nordy's bobby brown counter, since i don't mind bobby brown makeup and felt their makeup was more natural looking.. that session at the bb makeup counter was a big disappointment, i looked like a clown with pink cheeks.. so, when i went to this other makeup apptmt i was not thinking much of it since i didn't want to spend much time nor money on something that wasn't important to me.. and my fiance's sister was very nice enough to offer to do my makeup for me..

however, after two hours of jira doing my makeup & hair, i was HUGELY surprised.. she made me feel really comfortable, she did this special airbrushing that made it look amazingly clean.. despite the fact that i was breathing some of this stuff in, i still really liked what she did.. she even made me have eyelashes!!! everything looked really natural.. and i now am so happy that i'm getting my makeup and hair done.. i even booked her for my mom and some other friends.. so, if any of you can't find a makeup artist for your wedding or event, be sure to book JIRA from wowpretty.. she is absolutely amazing and works miracles!!

Gosh I've known Jira almost 8 years now. We first worked together on a photoshoot years ago. She really knows how to do Asian make-up.

Needless to say I had to have her do my wedding at the Julia Morgan Ballroom this past May. Jira uses an airbrush technique of foundation that lasted 12+ hours and through the my various tearing sessions throughout the day/night. Yay for her water proof mascara. Not only did it last all day but turned out flawless in photos. I just got my proofs back from my photographer Chung Photo. Her team was able to do hair/make-up for a bride, 6 bridesmaids, mom and cousin in 5 hours time. Right on schedule. She's also does great cut/color and extensions too. The Works!!

Brides: if you have a certain style or look you're looking to recreate, just tear out a picture and bring it to your trial session.
