Vicky & CJ's Hair & Makeup Service
Categories: Hair Salons, Makeup Artists
Vicky Choe-Harrington & CJ Bae are the BEST Make-Up Artist and Hair Stylist in the state of Hawaii.I know it sounds like a blanket statement, but I researched high and low to find the very best for my one & only dream wedding. Trust me when I say - I am picky about beauty & service - esp. for my mothers, & best friends who were my bridesmaid, and then of course myself "the bridezilla" (heehehe).
My requirements for selecting the artists were:
1. They must come to me on my wedding day (so I could stay in one place and relax).
2. They must be extremely talented - the best in the business.
3. They must be professional and kind.
4. They must give me touch ups during the evening.
5. They must be flexible in case I freak out a little.In the end, we all looked fabulous & felt wonderful!
Consultation: Vicky & CJ require images of the hair style and make that up you want. I forgot this for my consultation and was kindly scolded;-) But we still played with different options for both hair and make-up. This helped immensely to figure out exactly what I wanted and could work with.
Hair: Once I found the photo of my desired hair style, CJ went to town on my wedding day. This was actually her very first attempt at this particular style as it was complicated and technical. She exceeded my wildest expectations.
Make-up: Although I didn't have a very good photo of the make up I wanted, I told her what my issues were during the consultation and I told her which colors I liked and disliked. Vicky is incredibly gifted and knew right away how to bring out my best features. She gave me great advice for the right tones and shades which is required for both photography and a wedding celebration. She wanted me to look like a perfect blushing bride for my husband and guests, but she also wanted me to photograph like a glamorous model.
Speed: I also need to explain how fast they are. They showed up at my hotel suite at 9am - on time as scheduled. They serviced 9 people on my wedding day: 1 bride + 1 groom + 2 mothers + 1 sister + 3 bridesmaids + 1 flower girl. We started at 9am and finished by 2pm for photographs. That is professional talent.
The entire day we all had so much fun and felt so at ease. As a designer, I always know what I want. I was amazed when both Vicky and CJ were able to go above and beyond my highest expectation and deliver with kindness and professionalism. They truly were the BEST and made it so easy for me to look beautiful. It was the easiest part of my entire wedding. My best friend and maid of honor, who lives in Hawaii also researched for me. We both independently came up with Vicky & CJ. We really did the research and it was worth it. My BFF does a lot of media work and she uses their services for TV & Photography too.I recommend them for all your hair and make up needs=) If you want them, book asap. They are also extremely busy and book fast. I booked them a year in advance. They said they are busiest on weekends, but are more available on weekdays.
