Review on Yelp, 8/31/2013
I just had my trial hair and makeup session for my wedding with Yoong today and was so pleased with the experience! Yoong was a true professional, warm, friendly and knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure what exactly I wanted to do in terms of my hair and makeup on my big day other than that I wanted my makeup to be natural and that I didn’t want a tight updo. As she was applying my makeup, Yoong was meticulous in taking a step back throughout the process to see how the shades and application looked. She was very precise with her technique, making my face look flawless and glowing. I felt her years of experience was evident in her brush strokes, airbrush application and touch-ups. The makeup was beautiful, enhancing my features and making me look better than I thought possible. 
Yoong was also a great listener when it came to my hair. As she tried first a half-do and then a loose look per my request, she really showed each option at its best (which of course her talent made it even harder for me to decide which style to go with ) The half-do was very intricate and pinned beautifully and the loose look was pretty as well. With both styles, she made my hair look shiny and gorgeous! Throughout the session, I also really appreciated the tips Yoong gave me for the days up to my wedding. I also enjoyed meeting the owner, Jira. She was very warm and friendly and took the time to ask about the wedding and what I was hoping to achieve in terms of my look on my big day. Both of them were wonderful! One plus is that Wowpretty also features their own cosmetic line, JiraCouture. I wasn’t pressured to buy but I wanted to anyway because the lip gloss Yoong applied was so pretty and could conveniently be used for touch-ups on the big day. I also really appreciated that they carried hair accessories which Yoong was able to incorporate during my trial session and it was really nice that they sell these as well at a really reasonable price. All in all, I walked out very happy and can’t wait for the big day. With all the planning for the big day, I feel so happy knowing that my bridal party’s hair and makeup as well as my own will be one less thing to worry about in JiraCouture team’s trusted and knowledgeable hands.

Makeover Haircut
Most brides need to have long hair for their wedding day but after that it’s time to chop the hair. Today, It was so exciting to give a new short hair look to Sarahlee who was one of our Wowpretty brides last Sept! Sarahlee looks younger and hotter with her new short hair. Love It!

Makeup and Hair Destination Wedding Hawaii /Destination weddings : Gillian + Jame
Yelp.com review from Gillian
We got married in Lana’i, Hawaii and Jira traveled to Hawaii to do our hair and makeup. Our wedding party included 3 bridesmaids, a flower girl, mother of bride, and myself.
From the first time I met Jira for the trial consultation, she was a great listener about how I envisioned my look for the big day. She also recommended different ways to do my makeup to bring more attention to my eyes and ways to give the illusion of a slimmer face. At the same trial consultation, Jira’s expert hands worked magic with my hair. I have long hair and it;s always long & straight. Within 30 min, Jira was able to give me 8 diff. styles, and each was so beautiful that it was difficult to pick one for the big day because I wanted them all. Jira was very flexible with her travel schedule that it made coordinating her flight and hotel very stress free for me as the bride. On our big day, I honestly have never ever felt and looked more beautiful. Keep in mind that the temperature was approaching 100F in Hawaii, there was no cloud in the sky, light wind, and I was in a very heavy tulle dress. With that said, Jira’s expert hands and products made me feel so natural, as if I didn’t have makeup on. I didn’t feel at all like I was in danger of my makeup melting off. In fact, my makeup stayed on all afternoon and into the night and I never once needed a touch up (except for my lipstick). I quite literally took my husband’s breath away (he cried as I walked down) that he, and all my family, commented on how beautiful the hair and makeup was. So many of my friends have asked for Jira’s info. In the photos that my family took (we’re still waiting for the professional photos as I write this) my skin looked so luminous, like i was glowing, my blush was the perfect shade giving me that “blushing bride” look, and my eyes have never been so perfectly smoked.
I am so thankful for Jira’s work in making my dream come true to help me feel literally like the prettiest girl in the world for one day. Gillian~
