JAC Beauty (NYC)

Jina is so great to work with. She'll create the look that you want but also make helpful suggestions that will look make you look your best on your day. Thank you so much! Got so many compliments from everyone :)

Ladies, if you're looking for absolute, on-point, gorgeous professional work with incredible responsiveness and timeliness - look no further. I cannot express how amazing I looked on my wedding day. It truly took my breath away and put my guests in awe. Carol knew exactly how to accentuate the flat features of my very Asian face. She was beyond talented, attentive and supportive. And my hair was amazing as well - it looked very professionally done. Could not be happier.

I hired Jina to do my bridesmaids' hair, my mom's make-up, and my hair and make-up for my wedding day. Each step of the way, from the initial inquiry, to the trial, to a second trial, to the very day itself, Jina was really sweet, expert, and professional. She was really fun to work with all along the way. Jina was great taking my relatively inarticulate desires and turning them into beautiful ideas and executing them wonderfully. I loved how she did my bridesmaids' hair and my hair.Plus, Jina really knows what's good for make-up when it comes to professional photography, and that's a major asset!Strong recommend.

Jina was amazing - she did my hair and makeup for the engagement shoot and the actual wedding. She did a wonderful job and was such a pleasure to work with. You definitely won't go wrong hiring her!

I can\'t say enough great things about Jina! She was so professional and efficient, but also incredibly calm and sweet at the same time. She really has a lot of great experience doing wedding make-up and hair and was prepared for pretty much anything that could happen. I didn\'t have a hairpiece? No problem, she had extra hair crystals. My dress wasn\'t staying in place? She had the best professional double-sided tape money could buy. The girl is unflappable and does it all with a smile and immediately makes you feel comfortable and at ease. It\'s like having one of your favorite girlfriends doing your hair & makeup and the end result is flawless. If you can get a spot with Jina, book her!

Jina was recommended by my MUA and I'm so glad she did. From the first email, I can tell Jina would be very pleasant to work with and she is! It turned out Jina and I live in the same neighborhood so we decided to meet up and chat. It was nice to talk to someone else beside your friends and family about the stress of wedding planning. She gave me good advices and recommendations. The day of the wedding, Jina showed up early and got to work right away. All the bridesmaids LOVED their hair and was complemented by many of the guests. I hope in the future I get the opportunity to work with Jina again. THANKS JINA!!!

Jina was my wedding day hero! It sprinkled on my outdoor photo session & misted on my outdoor wedding, but after all of that (plus hugs, kisses, crying, etc.) my hair and makeup still looked PERFECT at the end of the night. Not only that, but Jina was such a calming presence on that crazy day. She arrived exactly on time and did exactly what she said she would. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

My family and I had so much fun working with Jina from JAC Beauty! She was always responsive and understanding and took initiative when I felt lost/overwhelmed. I felt bad because I kept adding people towards last minute for their hair/makeup, but Jina was more than happy to accept. My bridesmaids and I just loved her work. Through all the tears and sweats, our hair and makeup still stayed put...however, we did not want to take our hair and makeup off, it was too beautiful!!! We really left everything up to her for the most part because she knew what would look great on specific people. Jina provided that personal touch and my bridesmaids are hoping to receive her service when their day comes!!! We love Jina and we hope to keep in touch with her! My day was truly special because Jina helped kicked the day off great- even during the thunderstorm=)

Jina did makeup for myself + 4 bridesmaids on my wedding day. She did a FANTASTIC job. I was apprehensive about having my makeup done as I usually come out looking like a transvestite, but Jina did an awesome job. Her application of false eyelashes is impeccable and she uses the highest quality lashes. They looked so incredible and natural. I was sorry to take them off (and normally, I can't wait to tear off false eyelashes because they drive me crazy). She made my little eyes look much much larger. Something I thought would be impossible. I've never felt so pretty and glamorous as I did after Jina was done with me. She also did makeup for my 4 bridesmaids, all of whom are pretty particular and fussy about their makeup. They won't stop raving about Jina. They're all using photos from the wedding on their Facebook profiles because they're so happy with how they looked. Besides her obvious skill with makeup, Jina is super professional. She showed up 15 minutes early to a 7am start time in Central Jersey, at a rural farm that's off the grid and not on any GPS or Google maps. She did her job quickly and expertly and had us all done ahead of schedule. I'm so thrilled I'm using Jina again for my day-after shoot. The only thing I wish is that she'd make house-calls more often for makeup!

Jina was AMAZING! I got married in PA and had to plan my wedding all the way from LA. My biggest headache was to find a perfect makeup artist/hair stylist. I found Jina when I went to my cousin\'s wedding in PA and she did such an awesome job! I came back to LA and booked her right away before she becomes unavailable. Because of a time difference, I had to communicate with her mostly through emails but she was very responsive with emails which made my planning so much easier! I HIGHLY recommend doing a trial with her. She tries a couple different styles to make sure that you know what you like... i was so happy that i did a trial before my big day. She (of course) did an amazing job on my hair and makeup.. so many people complemented it and it lasted all night! Looking back.. so many little things went wrong on my wedding day but there was one thing that was PERFECT... that was my hair and makeup! I can\'t thank Jina enough for that!

Jina and Carol were completely lovely to work with. So sweet, sopatient, and very responsive. You can tell they really like what theydo and want to try their best to make you look and feel good. I feltlike they really listened to me, while also balancing things out withtheir experience and expertise. I never doubted that they would workpure magic on me. I felt so pretty on my wedding day!! I wish I had theirhelp all the time but I feel lucky enough that I got them for myspecial day :)

Jina is AMAZING!!!! She is super friendly and the most down to earth person you\'ll ever meet! Jina was able to accomodate me for a last minute hair and makeup trial and she hit everything on the mark. I went in not knowing exactly what I wanted but Jina got it perfect on the first try. On the day of my wedding, she did my hair and makeup along with the makeup of 6 of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked really amazing and we are still getting compliments of how good everyone looked. Thank you, Jina, for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. You rock!! I highly recommend Jina for all your beauty needs. You will not be disappointed!

I am a bridal headpiece designer and worked with her our 2011 SS professional photo shooting. I sent her some images before shooting and she catch what I am looking for. The make up and hair was perfect for in person and pictures. She has positive & happy energy to make people comfortable while 3-4 hours boring photo shoot. I hope to work with her again for our 2012 collection ;)The result of photo shoot,http://www.etsy.com/listing/57616738/chenille-dot-birdcage-veil-free-ushttp://www.etsy.com/listing/33411999/petite-audrey-ribbon-comb-bridal

Jina and Carol were great to work with. They are very responsive, friendly, accomodating, and just very down-to-earth and fun. They transformed me so that I can look amazing on my wedding day. They were very attentive to my requests and wishes and made sure that I would be happy with the results. Although, to be fair, you can just trust their amazing skills/recommendations to make you look great. They are also great at making you feel comfortable on your big day. I have met a lot of vendors throughout the course of wedding planning and meeting stiff, nonchalant vendors can be a real turnoff. My mom, MIL, and I had a great time getting ready for our wedding. I highly recommend them!

Jina and Carol are a pleasure! Both are very friendly, accommodating and professional. They also made the process easy, fun and completely stress-free - all things brides need on their wedding day.

All I can say is Jina is AMAZING and I couldn't have been any happier with how my make-up turned out on the day of my wedding. Not only is Jina an awesome make-up artist, she is very professional and extremely pleasant to work with. I felt like I had known her for years! I contacted Jina at the last minute and I am so grateful that we were able to work everything out. I have received and keep receiving so many compliments on my make-up and Jina made me feel so beautiful on my special day! I would highly recommend Jina to anyone - she is the best!

I was the MOH for a wedding in hot, sticky, sweaty August. Jina from JAC Beauty did my make-up & it lasted through sweat, tears & intoxication... 36HRS WITHOUT FADING!!! Got drunk 3X in 36hrs and through it all, my face was flawless=) Unfortunately, due to a large bridal party, not all the bridesmaids were able to be done up by Jina and the unlucky bridesmaids who went to this "high-end" salon...they're make-up AND hair barely made it to the ceremony=/ Proves just how amazing Jina is. Her technique is absolutely phenomenal! She definitely knows what she's doing and does it well. Her assistant was great too! Sue did my hair in a half up/down poof with curls~ my hair lasted the entire day without a single strand falling out of place! The ladies at JAC Beauty were courteous, professional & catered to the bride & bridesmaids with the utmost respect & phenomenal service. Thanks Jina & Sue for doing such a superb job & for making the bride & bridesmaids look sooo beautiful =)

I searched long and hard for a makeup artist that knew how to apply makeup to an asian face, especially the eyes. I came across JAC Beauty and wrote them a quick email. Jina called me and we started talking. My first impression over the phone was she seem to totally understand my concerns and I felt very comfortable with her.Before my trial, Jina dolled me up for a few events I had and I absolutely loved what she did. She offered a few ideas and she hit the nail on the head. I got tons of compliments...For my big day, Jina already knew what I was looking for and wasted no time in transforming me into a princess. Carol worked on my bridesmaids and she was fast and amazing. Everyone looked so good. My husband told me that the moment he saw me I took his breath away and he couldn't stop telling me how beautiful I looked.I highly recommend Jina and Carol. Both of them are truly amazing and wonderful at what they do. I don't think you can find anyone better!!!! Thank you Jina and Carol for making my big day so memorable!!!

I only had Jina for makeup (I did my own hair). Jina is super-fabulous. She had a funny and relaxing personality--perfect for the morning of your wedding--and I like to think we bonded a little during my trial. I told her I wanted a 60s glam look, and that's what I got, while remaining very natural. My personal pet peeve is non-matching foundation that is obvious on brides, and mine was very natural and lasted all days. My three layers of fake lashes were amazing and totally cool. She was so affordable and uses top of the line products. It's hard to do Asian makeup and Jina really delivered.My husband was thrilled the day of my trial and kept saying how beautiful I looked and equally thrilled on my wedding day. Thank you Jina for your wonderful makeup skills and great personality!

Jina and Carol of JAC were wonderful! They listened to my requests and did my hair and makeup even more beautifully than I had imagined. They are also geniuses in applying makeup that will stay put! In fact, I moved out of my apartment the day that I had my trial. I opted to keep my hair and makeup on while my fiance and I moved boxes up and down stairs, into the uhaul, and even to the 2 hr drive to my new place - and my makeup actually stayed put despite all the activity! And on my actual wedding day - we had an hour photo session running around in diff parts of central park, the actual ceremony outdoors, and part of our reception on a yacht with high winds - and when I came home late that night I still looked great! They are truly amazing at what they do! It's extremely difficult finding affordable professional wedding makeup in NYC, and although I thought their prices were a bit high, it's important to keep in mind that it is NYC, so they are actually in the mid-price range for the area and for the high quality of their work. They were also a pleasure to work with, really fun and easy to talk to. Jina even stayed to help me with an impromptu safety pin alteration of my dress and helped me wrap my bouquet :). I do want to note that their studio (where you have your makeup trial) is in Queens, so that may be an issue for those who live within manhattan. They come to you on the wedding day, but charge a fee for traveling into manhattan.Definitely check out their website, it has great examples of their makeup style. Natural, but beautiful - how every bride should look on the big day.
