    Perfect makeup & hair!

    Thao and Thy transformed me, my mom, and my entire bridal party for my big day! They ensured that our hair stayed curled for the entire day (impressive). Thao’s attention to detail was much appreciated for my wedding makeup look- she trimmed my hair to perfect the length and switched the type of lashes to fit the look. I cried A LOT the whole day but my makeup looked great at the end of the night! I am so thankful for Thao and Thy’s expertise.

    Timelessly Beautiful

    Working with Beauty By Thao was such a breath of fresh air. She communicated with me every step of the way, always clear and to the point, which made planning so much easier. On the day of the wedding, Thao kept me grounded when my nerves kicked in and even suggested some overnight skin prep tricks that made a real difference. Her work is incredibly detail-oriented and she has a real gift for making people of all skin tones and ages look and feel their best. She was flexible with exactly what I needed and adjusted things on the fly without any fuss. I'd absolutely recommend Beauty By Thao to any couple looking for someone who actually listens and delivers.

    Amazing Wedding Makeup Artist!

    I hired Thao for my wedding day makeup. We did a trial a several months before and the whole experience was amazing. She was attentive and paid attention to everything I wanted. Furthermore, after the trial, I continued to send her email updates about what I wanted. She was always receptive and accommodating to what I wanted. On the day of, she made my makeup look flawless. All of my guests complimented me on how wonderful my makeup looked. Thao also did my bridal party's makeup. They all looked beautiful as well. I highly recommend Thao!

    Highly recommend Thao and her team

    We were so lucky to have found Thao as hair/makeup artist for our big day. From the moment I reached out to her, she was very responsive, thorough and professional. My biggest concern was not looking/feeling myself since I don't wear a lot of makeup. She took the time to listen and worked with me to understand my vision and make my makeup/hair vision come true. During the trial, she checked with me every step of the way to make sure I feel comfortable. Thao and her team were able to finish makeup and hair for myself, the moms, and 7 other bridesmaids on time. My makeup and hair came out beautiful, just how imagined myself as a bride, natural and just myself. She was wonderful from start to finish. Her professionalism and warm personality definitely showed during the makeup application process which made my big day that much more special.
