Jame Kyson Lee 's Celebrity from "Heroes"

Jira and the Wowpretty team want to congratulate Philippe and Jade Studios for the opening of their 2nd studio.

The grand opening event on July 16th had many vendors, brides, and other beautiful people throughout the day and night. Great food, drink, and music made for a truly splendid affaire to kick off the amazing new spacious studio at Treasure Island.

The following day, Philippe /Jade Studio and Wowpretty had a photo shoot with actor James Kyson Lee, who plays the character named Ando, from the TV show , “Heroes"

We really had a wonderful time with 4 great outfits that were custom created by James Kyson Lee himself.

Hi Jira!!!

I want to let you know that you made my wedding day truly amazing. Words cannot begin to express how vital of a role that wowpretty plays in making my wedding day beautiful. My make up lasted the entire 12+ hours. As you remember, my wedding was one of the hottest days (about 88 degrees), but both my hair up-do and make up lasted. I knew I had pure confidence in you aftering the trial in which you did my hair and make up, and you once again provided the upmost quality. I cannot wait to recommend you to future brides!!

ps. Wedding photos are on the way!

Hugs,
Carrie


Review from Yelp.com

Jira goes above and beyond what is expected as a hair and make up artist. From the first time of initiating contact with her via email, she was prompt in replying back to me and letting me know she was available for my wedding date of 6/27/09. As meticulous as I am, she was everything and more.

Everytime I emailed to ask a question, she never hesitated to email me back the same day. When I had my make up and hair trial with her about 2 months before my wedding, I was stunned at how efficient and careful she is with a bride. She takes her time to understand what I wanted and never tried to impose her feelings on to me. She was opened to whatever I suggested, yet did not get defensive if I disagreed with something. She also treats her brides like a friend, which is not always something that you will find. On the actual day of my wedding, Jira and one of her assistants came to do hair and make up for myself and my mother and hair for my 4 bridesmaids.

Jira showed up on time and made my dreams come true. It was such a hot day on my wedding (almost 90 degrees) and both my hair and make up lasted the 12+ hours that I was up. The make up still continued to look fresh and cool even with the hot sun beating down on me. I got so many compliments from guests about my hair and make up.
If there is ever any hesitation that you may have about whether or not you want Jira as your hair and make up person, this is one person that you cannot pass up.

Review from Cindy on Yelp

Jira did my wedding hair and makeup for my July 09 wedding. She made me feel so gorgeous and the hair and makeup both lasted all night without any touch ups. Jira and her team did my bridesmaids and we had one last minute addition and they accommodated my fickle family members and each person's individual taste. Both moms never wear makeup so they were wary but they were extremely impressed. They got light makeup done and they looked beautiful.

I had two trials with Jira. The first time I didn't know what I wanted and I didn't love it. But the second time I had gone through Jira's blog and noted down the girls whose makeup I especially loved and went to Jira prepared, with my hair flower, earrings and a better sense of what I was looking for. I highly recommend you prepare ahead of time and if you don't love it the first time, you probably just need to go back and try a different style that you like.

It's definitely pricier than I was originally looking to pay (believe me, I did my research and went to the makeup counters but I just wasn't convinced they knew what they were doing for a high-stress event like a wedding) but it's a once in a lifetime experience and I know that everyone says that and it's cliche now but it's actually true - how sad would you be if you cheaped out and felt gross during your wedding and looking at all your wedding pics and video!! That is documentation that will will be hard to overlook because you saved a few bucks. That's my perspective anyway. Of course, don't break the bank. If you can't afford it all, just get Jira to do your makeup and a friend to do your hair and your girls can do their own. But Jira's definitely worth it.

Good luck. Hope you have as much fun as I did.
