Stacey and Kevin, Wedding Photos on May 9, 2009



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.

Hi Jira,

The wedding was really great, we managed to pull off both ceremonies without too many glitches! Everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves.

I was very happy as well with everything you did. You were so easy to work with and that made the morning nice and relaxing for all of us.

After a failed makeup trial session with another vendor who was recommended by one of my bridesmaids, I checked out a variety of websites in search of a makeup and hairstylist for my wedding. I came upon Jira's website.

I e-mailed Jira in regards to finding some information and she was always easy to reach and responded in a timely manner.

I met Jira at her studio and we sat down and talked about my wedding and my dress and different outfit changes. We talked about what I liked and what I didn't like in makeup. We also talked about a variety of hairstyles.

When I first went in, I was sure I wanted to wear my hair half up, which I'm used to doing most of the time. Jira suggested that I at least try an updo style and let me look through a book with some pictures.

I'm glad that she convinced me to try my hair up. After looking at my photographs, I am as well as all of my friends are in agreement that my hair looked awesome up.

Jira also tried two different makeup styles as well. I was so excited the whole time she was doing my makeup. She was extremely friendly and easy to talk to. She was also always asking for my input as what I liked and didn't like.

The results were amazing. I haven't even had my wedding yet, but I can't wait until that day. After my makeup trial, I completely trust Jira and her work.

Check out the results from the trial if you'd like. Keep in mind that I had my makeup done after being up for almost 24 hours (I worked the night before) and I had tried this new moisturizer that was a bit too oily so I think it made the makeup just a little oily. Jira recommended that I don't wear that moisturizer that morning of my wedding and or switch back to my old moisturizer.

Even despite my sleepiness/tired eyes and the oily moisturizer, I was so impressed!! Everyone says a picture is worth a 1000 words, so here's a couple 1000 more words to my review...read more.
