Yin Tom Studio

hout ever feeling heavy or overdone—exactly what we wanted for our intimate day. She also styled our hair perfectly, adding just the right touch of elegance to complete our looks. We felt so confident and beautiful, and the photos turned out incredible. Thank you for helping make our day unforgettable!

care that I rebooked them for my own wedding recently. They were so patient and able to provide recommendations that best suits each individual’s needs. They are both very good at matching skin tone and making sure we all feel confident! Yin also makes sure she carves out time out of her busy schedule to check in with you before the big day! I really appreciated how she helped coach my bridesmaids on how to place my veil as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better hair stylist and makeup team!

typically wear makeup and wanted a natural, light makeup look. Yin nailed the look and made me feel like an elevated version of myself. All the bridesmaids and MOB/MOG were very happy with their looks, and hair and makeup stayed throughout the night. Yin and Kettia also brought a positive, fun energy while we were all getting ready. They were on time, organized, and reduced my stress the morning of the wedding. I am SO happy we booked Yin for hair and makeup!

pert in both types of features and aesthetics. Yin beyond delivered. Her makeup quality is all very high quality (Dior, Oribe for hair etc…) and her airbrushing made my face look so flawless. My hair stayed up the entire night and my makeup was SO foolproof that I didn’t even need to touch it up at all for the remaining 8 hours of the day. She was super collaborative on my specific requests and turned a mere idea into a reality. She made me look and feel the most beautiful I have ever felt and I am so so so grateful that we worked together on our special day. My wedding party and I can’t recommend Yin enough!!!! She’s also hilarious a bed so easy going- working with her from 8am till 2pm just felt like hanging out with a friend. You will not be disappointed!!!!!!

he same time, she collaborates with people for what they would like while contributing her expertise to make it happen. She has a warm personality to get along well with all the family. Highly recommend!

week leading up to my wedding, my aunt wanted to get her hair and makeup done and Yin was able to accommodate. They listened and made sure everyone was satisfied with their hair and makeup. My hair and makeup lasted all day! I wanted a slightly different hair style compared to the trial and Yin knew exactly what I was looking for. I went for a soft glam look and she did an incredible job enhancing my natural features. I highly recommend choosing Yin and her team! We all felt so comfortable and had a great time getting ready with Yin and Kettia. You will not be disappointed!

beautiful and like ourselves. All of us got many compliments, and - so importantly - they were people you definitely want to spend the morning of your wedding with! No stress, no fuss, great energy and superb talent. Big thanks and highly recommend to Boston-area brides!

ed a little heavy in real life, they turned out great in the shoot. For my wedding, Yin softened the makeup so it looked fantastic both in person and in photos. Furthermore, Yin is so wonderful to be around! I cannot recommend her enough.

o work with asian features - Yin was an expert at this, and everyone was raving about how my makeup was natural and complimented my own best features. Plus, she was a consummate professional on the day of, running right on schedule. I would highly recommend booking with Yin and her team!

ted hair and makeup artist, making sure to take in your skin type, features, and hair type to create your special look. I showed her inspiration photos of what I wanted, and she went above and beyond. From my trials to the wedding day, Yin hyped me up for my special day, gave me advice, and made me feel relaxed and confident. She didn’t just make me look beautiful on my wedding day; she made me feel beautiful. Can’t recommend Yin enough!

nown to her what exactly I wanted my hair/makeup to look like. The end product was absolutely perfect and it lasted the whole day! I would highly recommend her services!!

party was so happy with their hair and makeup. We each came in with general ideas/visions and Yin helped those visions come to life. Yin is incredibly caring and even gave me a touch up bag with lipstick and other items to use throughout the night. Since the day was supposed to be rainy, she provided extra maintenance to make sure my hair and makeup lasted through the night - and it did! Even with the rain. She also helped to pin in my veil securely and gave my bridesmaids very careful instructions on how to take it out after the ceremony. I feel so lucky to have found Yin and would highly highly recommend her.

and Kettia made the day seamless and my friends and I could not stop talking about how awesome they were. Yin completely brought my wedding day vision to life, and my makeup and hair stayed perfect despite hot, hot weather, and (many) happy tears. Can't thank her enough!

th her to help with the bridal party, and she also did amazing work. My hair and makeup lasted all day--even making it through a lot of sweat and. tears--and I loved the natural look that she was able to make for me. I HIGHLY recommend Yin Tom studio!

h hair and makeup. All her styling held up great throughout the day and into the night. And she was thoughtful enough to give me a small bag to touch-up the look throughout the day. I didn’t have a strong “vision” for how I wanted to look but she did such a great job listening to the small amounts of input I gave her and turning that into a perfect look that I was comfortable in and was “me.” I would 1000% recommend her services to anyone!

my hairstyle held all day with no issues, even though it was very windy. I also appreciate Yin's thoughtfulness in making up a lipstick bag for touch ups during the day.

r front! She does such a good job highlighting your features and taking inspiration/ideas from what I showed her on pintrest and executing it for me! On the wedding day Yin and Ketia did a exceptional job on the hair and makeup for all the bridesmaids and the moms and me! They were so much fun to work with and they encouraged our silly dancing and singing and all the girls and moms loved Yin and Ketia and were so impressed with their skills - and how they turned us all into beautiful princesses - whatever style of makeup or hair the girls and moms wanted, they were able to execute and with time to spare! Yin also made me a little baggie for touchup post ceremony/throughout the day and also showed my MOH how to attached and remove my veil without messing up my hair. Love love working with Yin and highly recommended her and her team!

and the natural, simple look I've always envisioned, and even made better suggestions along the way! She also did incredible work for my Mom and friend, everybody was happy with the final result. Would highly recommend Yin to anyone looking for natural looks that brings out your inner beauty best.

ess. Yin hit the balance perfectly AND did an incredible job with my mom & my bridesmaids of varying skin tones. (Everyone was taking selfies the whole day!) She is also SO much fun and made our getting ready time a blast.

ssed my expectations. She not only helped with makeup, but had priceless advice for sequence of events and timing. I feel so taken care of. Also, all the makeup still looked perfect the next day! I was amazed.

tra person was needed for all the services. They were so friendly, positive, and personable, and really made the each of us feel and look so beautiful. None of us really wear makeup day-to-day so we opted for some more natural looking makeup and they both delivered!! My mom had a bad experience with a different HMUA for another wedding a few months back and she knew she did not want anything nearly as extreme as what she got before… my mom looked GREAT for my wedding and loved her look so much and felt much more confident! Fortunately, I had an awesome trial with Yin already in June 2022 so I knew to expect nothing but the best. Some slight tweaks were made between the trial and actual wedding day but it worked out perfectly because my wedding day was drizzly and gloomy and Yin (who did both my hair and makeup) accounted for that and how it would look in pictures. I recommended Yin to one of my bridesmaids after my trial for her own wedding and I’m lucky enough to experience her magic again in the next month! Would definitely recommend Yin (and Kettia) for any HMU needs!!

my hair still looked perfect. Thank you, Yin!

g to find something that would make me feel like myself. I booked Yin for hair and makeup for myself, my maid of honor, and my mom. On the day of the wedding, she did an amazing job with my maid of honor and my mom. They looked like themselves, but more glamorous. They look beautiful in all the pictures! I was also very happy with my hair and makeup and Yin really took her time and also gave me choices on how to ‘amp’ up the look, which I took. Yin was patient, kind, organized, and really did the pre-work to make sure that the hair and makeup matched well with my dress, venue, comfort, and other factors. I would highly recommend Yin for hair and makeup on your special day!

t in styling my hair and makeup. Pick Yin!!

my hair and makeup trial, I felt confident in booking Yin’s services. Everyone in my wedding party loved how much fun Yin made our experience and how glamourous we loved. Yin took the time to get to know each of us and took any stress away. Not only is Yin extremely talented at her craft, but she’s kind, a great listener and a warm personality. I’m so happy to have had her be a part of our wedding day.

aids. I went in for my original trial and felt confident in her abilities from the start; a few months later I had a second trial to tweak the updo we had planned. The whole time, Yin was very attentive and receptive to my preferences, and she executed everything flawlessly on the day of our wedding! She also helped me create a realistic timeline for getting ready in the morning, which was extremely accurate -- we even finished a few minutes early. I would highly recommend Yin to anyone!!

ut a total stranger. That's why I was so happy when I found Yin, who could balance beauty and uniqueness. I really appreciate her work!

nd I was not wrong to be so confident! She did a great job. Myself, my bridesmaids and my stepmom were all impressed with our hair and makeup. She managed to make me and my bridesmaids hairstyles each unique while also ending up with the same half up/half down style. Very friendly and professional!

y to ask me what I envisioned and details about my event, including what my dress looked like, venue lighting, and my photographer's style. Yin helped me look natural and elegant, which is exactly what I hoped for. She even added a lovely pearl hairpiece, which happened to match the fairy lights at my venue. She also helped me feel very relaxed with fun conversation during the appointment. I'm so grateful I found Yin for my wedding makeup and hair, and highly recommend her!

e (bridesmaids, mom, mom-in-law, aunt) and really tailored the makeup and hair to each individual and their preferences. My wedding party was very happy with their looks and we turned out beautifully for the photos. My mom can be picky but even she loved her hair and makeup! They were punctual, very professional, and communicative. As another review mentioned, they are Planners and Yin composed a neat, concise wedding prep schedule with lots of buffer time, which wasn't needed most of the time! You could also tell how experienced they were in their flexibility and being able to adapt my hotel room into a full-blown prep room (venue didn't have a bridal suite/prep room). I was anxious the morning of the wedding, and they eased all of the nerves. On personality and bridal trial: Yin was wonderful to work with. She was responsive to my emails and calls from the start. Her personality also stood out to me from the beginning, when I did my makeup and hair trial with her- she really hyped me up for the wedding process! I remember leaving the appointment loving her energy. During the trial, she was attentive to my hesitations and comforting to my awkwardness. She listened to what I wanted as well as giving suggestions and different options for the look- a perfect balance. I remember sitting back loving how I looked and knowing I was in good hands. On the makeup and hair durability: Wow, did the makeup lasted all day! It was 80+ degrees, my ceremony was outdoors, and reception in a greenhouse, so very little a/c time. In addition, I took a few pictures out in the later rain, shed a few happy tears, and danced/sweated my heart out, with several headbangs thrown in. Through all of that water, humidity, and movement my makeup and hair were still SO fresh by the end of the night!! Personalizing the makeup and hair: It was important for me to find someone who could do looks for all kinds of complexions, skin, and hair types. Aside from considering my experience, I recommend you check out Yin's portfolio, which makes evident she can do all of that. In the past, I unfortunately found the wrong people and which led to poor makeup and hair service experiences for my complexion and hair (I'm Asian), that made me not look like me. In addition, two of my bridesmaids are black and I needed someone who knew how to work with black hair, that I could entrust my friend's hair to. I was nervous about finding someone who could be sensitive to these anxieties. I told this to Yin and she was promptly on it- she sent contact information for Kettia so my bridesmaid could talk to her one-on-one about what she wanted and how she needed to prepare her hair. Kettia indeed killed it- my bridesmaid absolutely loved the results! Yin and Kettia accentuated the best parts of each one of us whilst keeping it natural, I was very impressed. I hands down definitely recommend Yin- she's very much desired and busy so book her as soon as you can!

weather my makeup and hair stayed in place as well of that of all my bridesmaids. Yin is easy to communicate with, professional and has a great personality. She makes you feel so special and beautiful as she does her work.

makeup for myself, both moms, and my maid of honor. I already knew how skilled she was from the trial, but I was impressed by how organized and efficient she was at completing multiple services. The schedule she sent included buffers and more often than not, she didn’t need them! She listened to everyone’s requests and fulfilled them perfectly. Everyone loved their looks and were absolutely glowing! Both my hair and makeup held up beautifully by the end of the night after all the dancing. I highly recommend working with Yin. She is a joy to work with and incredibly skilled!

after crying from the ceremony and speeches. Also, I forgot my hair piece, she was so resourceful and used a flower from my bouquet for my hair! She was also great with my mom who is not used to getting her hair and makeup professionally done. So glad to have her as a vendor for my wedding!

king perfect. During our trial, she took her time and answered all my questions. She was patient until we achieved the look I wanted. I've had many trials with other artists but Yin's work can't be matched. On the day of my wedding, she calmed me down when I started getting nervous and was just such a soothing presence to be around. You definitely get really great treatment from her. Cannot recommend her enough!

good she is at mixing the colors and creating a natural look for my makeup. She is very friendly and made the makeup session very pleasant.

r our families and wedding party (including some groomsmen/bridesmen, who ended up looking very suave but natural). Their work was incredible, turning all of us into the most glamorous versions of ourselves. Many of us went into the experience not knowing what to ask for, but they knew just what to do with us, and we were all very pleased with the outcome. Not only was their work incredible, they were just really fun as well, and turned what could have been a stressful day into one with lots of fun and laughter.

you. We did a trial and she asked several helpful questions to better understand what kind of hair and makeup I wanted. On the day of my wedding, she did hair and make up for myself, two moms, and two sisters, and she did a great job accommodating everyone's personal preferences, skin tone, desired hair style, etc. My hair and makeup lasted all evening despite hot weather, tears, and lots of dancing. Thank you so much Yin!

e a perfect natural and lovely city hall wedding look, which lasts for the whole afternoon and night. It was a great experience working with her, and I would definitely work with her again on the big wedding day!

runs due to COVID delays). We have a total of 24 services for 5 flower girls and 8 adults. Yin created a schedule to allow all of us to be ready but not have to wait too long (she came with 2 other make-up stylists). My bridal party had a mix of white (Irish), Indian, Thai, Chinese and of course a lot of mixed race flower girls - Yin and her team simply made us look “naturally” beautiful. She stayed with me all day and into the evening to provide touch up services during the photoshoot post ceremony and a change of hair style for the reception. Everyone loves the hair styles the team created for our bridal party BUT we really really love the makeup - which was so natural and yet made us look sooo good. She also did my husband who has rosacea and wanted to make sure that the photos would look good. His face was so natural and lasted all day. I would be guided by her suggestions both on styles and timing - she’s a professional.

I was so pleasantly surprised by my experience with her. Not only did she do a great job with my wedding party and get us out exactly on time, but she was responsive, flexible, clear about her pricing, and I've never felt better about makeup. I was shocked with how comfortable I felt and how beautiful everything was without making me look like someone completely different. The trial was definitely helpful, as I felt like she took our trial and improved upon it on the day of. I would absolutely recommend her, especially for East Asian people, as I know it's hard sometimes to find someone able to do our makeup well.

ry. She was able to nail down exactly what I wanted, and her and Kettia are absolutely the sweetest. Every one really liked how their hair and makeup turned out - some had examples of what they wanted, but most just told them, and they pulled it off. We had so much fun with the both of them. Yin is also communicative, professional, and so so talented. She'll make you feel like you're a movie star.

cuss my needs. She is very professional in what she does and how she handles her clients. As a bride, I was very relaxed once I booked her. On my wedding day, she made sure I and my bridesmaids were ready on time and provided touch-ups for everyone just before the ceremony began. Her work is fantastic. She understood exactly what I wanted and gave me a look that was in my mind. All my bridesmaids loved her as well, which is hard to hear because my sisters are very picky when it comes to makeup and hair :) If you are thinking of booking her, I would highly recommend her. You will love her and her work for sure, just like me.

g and she did the rest. I am beyond happy with the results and her work speaks for herself. I loved working with her so much that I booked her for our wedding. If you're like me and want someone knowledgeable, collaborative, and a true artist, Yin is the woman for you!
