    Fantastic hair & makeup services!

    I'm so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding! My sister in law recommended Jina and Jina is so caring, kind and thoughtful that it felt like a good friend was helping me get ready! Jina expertly executed the updo hairstyle that I wanted and made sure it withstood a cathedral veil for the church ceremony, a Korean traditional ceremony, and a lively reception and dancing on the dancefloor! I wanted a "natural" makeup look and Jina accentuated my best features and I'm thrilled with how the photos came out! Highly recommend Jina for any special event occasion in your life!

    I loved my wedding hair and makeup done by JAC Beauty! I hired JAC Beauty after doing my research on the best hair and makeup artists and getting recommendations from a few friends. Jina is amazing - both as a person and in hair and makeup skills. She knows how to make you look beautiful while making sure that you still look like yourself. She is also hard working and reliable - I had to start hair and makeup at 5:00 am and I think that she arrived at like 4:15 am to set up, which was earlier than necessary but she wanted to make sure that they weren't late. She is very responsive with emails too! A common complaint among bridesmaids is that the hair and makeup person doesn't know how to do makeup for Asian women or that the makeup is too heavy. Not with JAC Beauty! All my girls were happy with their hair and makeup. I'm going to keep the recommendations coming for all you future brides to say that you won't regret working with Jina for your wedding. :)

    Jina was very professional and did both my engagement and wedding makeup and hair. She was so easy to work with and provided great suggestions and also guidance. Many people complimented on my hair and makeup.

    Jina and Jinny are the best! They really did an awesome job. The day of my wedding was super humid and quite warm and everyone had rave reviews about how great we all looked and that our makeup hadn't melted! All my bridesmaids were really impressed with how their hair and makeup turned out as well. One of bridesmaids was in another wedding the next day and admitted that I had spoiled her with Jina and Jinny! I couldn't have made a better decision for my wedding day. Thanks so much you two!

    It was a pleasure working with Jina Pak! She is personable, kind, and professional. I was referred to her by a family member who also had her wedding hair/makeup done by Jina. She is responsive to emails, receptive to questions, and direct about her pricing and availability. Her rates are competitive and the services you pay for are well worth it. Upon booking, there is a 50% deposit to secure your date.

    I recommend doing a trial session with Jina before your event to ensure you get exactly what you expect on the day-of and also to see how the different options will look on you. Jina was generous with her time and shared her insights on what would look good with certain hair types. She also took step by step pictures of my makeup during the trial to allow me to view them later on, in case I changed my mind and wanted less/more make up. Jina is on top of scheduling and shared the day-of schedule with me in advance. On the wedding day, Jina and her assistant were prompt (if not early) and really made me and my bridesmaids feel at ease. They were friendly and everyone looked great! They cater to each person's preferences, so it helps to know what kind of hair and makeup style you would like to have ahead of time. I would love to use JAC Beauty's services again and would recommend Jina to everyone!

    JAC beauty is SO talented and amazing! They did my hair and makeup for my wedding this past August and I got SO many compliments regarding my hair and makeup. They made me feel and look like the most beautiful bride for my big day! I already have multiple people asking me who my hair/makeup artist was and I was happy to refer them to JAC beauty. JAC beauty is also so professional and accomodating! I had such a great time working with them! They are amazing!!! I definitely recommend them and you won't be disappointed if you go with them! :D

    JAC beauty is an excellent makeup/hair company. She really knows how to make your best features stand out and your not so good features minimalized. A lot of people complimented me on my makeup and hair on the day of my wedding. I'm not too opinionated with my hair or makeup, but Jina knew exactly what would look good on me. Jina also works with you for last minute changes which was a huge help. Also, she makes you feel extra relaxed on your big day which is a huge help. I definitely recommend Jina if you want to look extra gorgeous on your wedding day in photos, in person, and in videos.

    Jina did the my hair and makeup flawlessly as well as my other bridemaids. Everyone was pleased with the outcome. In addition to her great work, she was easy to keep in touch with and very flexible with what services I and bridemaids wanted. She's very professional but also such a nice and pleasant person.

    JAC Beauty did an amazing job for my wedding! Jina and her assistant made us completely at ease and worked thoroughly while keeping us on schedule. They also made us feel so confident and beautiful. It was such a pleasure to have spent the morning of my wedding relaxing with my friends instead of having to worry about whether we would look right for such an important day. I would recommend JAC Beauty to anyone. They are talented, professional, and so so sweet!

    My wedding was exactly one month ago, and I am SOOOO glad that I booked JAC beauty to do the hair and makeup for myself and the Bridal party. She was one of my favorite vendors and made the wedding morning calm and relaxing! She is super sweet, patient, and so genuine. I first communicated with Jina through emails and was so relieved at how responsive she was. Most if not all emails were replied to within a day or so (most of the time, on the same day). We discussed ideas, looks, hair, ect and Jina was always honest and helpful. I also did a trial makeup run on the day of my engagement photos. For the trial makeup, I gave a lot of my own opinion to Jina on how I wanted the makeup to look, however, I recommend you just let her do her thing. For the wedding day, I had Jina do the makeup and took all of her advice, and LOVED my look. I felt like a princess and received soooo many compliments about my hair and makeup. The wedding day, Jina and her assistant were SO patient with my bridal party. Last minute, my mom, grandma, and cousin also wanted their makeup done after looking at how beautiful everyone looked. Even though we were on a time crunch, Jina was able to include everyone and did not show any annoyance. Everyone looked so amazing and I'm so excited to see the professional wedding photographers. Thank you so much JAC beauty!!!!!!!!

    A super belated review, but nevertheless, Jina and her crew were nothing short of exceptional on my wedding day. First, when I contacted Jina to discuss potentially doing hair and makeup for my wedding, she was prompt, courteous, and professional. We discussed setting up a trial session where she worked with my indecisiveness to figure out what I liked best, with her recommendations. She was never pushy, but gave suggestions based on her experience and expertise. On the big day, my bridal party and moms were all pleased with their looks, and had a great time getting ready in the process with the JAC crew. Personally I thought they were all stunning. :) They kept me relaxed and calm in anticipation of my walk down the aisle. I loved the way my hair and makeup turned out. They knew how to keep my look natural but still special. They also knew how to make my look stand out in photos while not looking too exaggerated. Last but not least, my hair and makeup lasted the ENTIRE NIGHT. I could not recommend JAC beauty enough to any future clients wanting to look amazing on their big day. Thanks again Jina!!!!

    Jina and her sister were extremely professional and organized. My hair and make-up looked and felt great the entire day and night. When I saw my wedding pictures, I was impressed by how great and natural, yet elegant my makeup looked. friendly service, and great value for money compared to other Manhattan based makeup artists. I will definitely use her again.

    It was a pleasure working with Jina. She was super nice, sweet, accommodating, and most of all, soooooo talented in making me + my sisters + mom beautiful! I had a general idea of what I wanted, and she absolutely nailed it. I simply showed her a few pictures and she got it right away. She is a true professional and an amazing makeup artist and hair stylist. She works fast and efficiently, but does not skimp. Leave it to her, she knows what she's doing. Because of her, I heard lots of people use the word "stunning" and it is all thanks to Jina!! I highly recommend her!!

    I've always been weary about getting my hair / makeup done as I am particular and picky about what looks good on my very asian features and hair type. I was scared she wouldn't "get" what I wanted- I was so surprise at how well Jina helped me achieve a look that was even prettier than what I could have imagined. She brought out the best in all my features and even helped correct my uneven eyes! someone mentioned lash queen and that is right! I had the most beautiful lashes that didnt look tacky or overdone as Ive seen on others. My curls held up all night but never look plasticy and hard (EWW). Ive been a part of 4 weddings including mine and JAC stood out from the quality of the products used to proper hygenic application process. Start to finish Jina was professional and so nice, really helping me calm my nerves. Her team also did a great job on my 3 bridesmaids -including my German friend which I was a little worried about because yes, makeup and hair IS different for asians and nonasians..but why'd I even worry?! because they all looked beautiful (without looking like triplets). Thank you Jina for making me look and feel so gorgeous on my day!

    Jina is an amazing make-up artist and I'm so happy that I booked her for my wedding! Jina and Esther were true professionals, and completed both hair and make-up for 10 people on time on my wedding day. Everyone complimented me on my make-up which enhanced my natural look without looking too overdone. I would definitely recommend Jina to any bride!

    I learned about Jina from our wedding planner, but then heard from other sources that even other make-up artists in the area recommended her! She is truly talented and SO MUCH FUN to have on your wedding day! She helped to calm me down so much while making me look oh so pretty and hip for my downtown NYC wedding. I have long stick-straight hair but she was able to have it keep curls ALL night! She is even better than what she shows on her webpage, though those ladies are gorgeous, too! She has such a busy schedule, and I’m so glad we booked her almost a year in advance. I wanted a “natural” look because my fiancé at the time dislikes false lashes, and she made me feel so pretty- he shed a tear during our first look photos. :) We are all hooked on her airbrushing skills on our face, and her makeup stayed put the entire night- even the black eyeliner on my bottom waterline stayed put. For real! I am definitely booking with her for the next event even if I’m just a guest for a wedding. She’s hilarious and good-hearted! You can just tell when you’re around her that she has a positive energy. Jina is amazing. Thank you!!

    Jina was my second hair and make-up artist and she made my bridesmaids look flawless! She also ensured that none of the bridesmaids had a similar hairstyle as me, which never even crossed my mind as something to consider. Jina is very responsive, friendly and helpful, and on the day of, she arrived early and ready to go and finished in record time. Thank you for making everyone look their best!

    The best make-up artist out there. Jina is truly the most talented and skilled make up artist out there. I didn't even know what I wanted to do with myself and just left it up to her. She did an amazing job with myself, my mom, and my 6 bridesmaids. Her assistant is also simply amazing with styling hair! Each of my bridesmaids had different hairstyles that just fit their face and shape so perfectly. If you want to look better than them other chicks out there, just GO FOR JAC BEAUTY. Jina & her assistant do wonders, you will not regret.

    I am Korean so was looking for a make-up artist who was familiar with applying make-up on Asians (yes, it is a little different). I chose Jina at JAC based on her reviews and am happy I did so. She and her sister did an amazing job on the hair and make-up for my bridesmaids (and Jina even squeezed my mother in for me). Jina is great to work with and is available to answer any and all questions you may have beforehand. I only wish I had done a make-up/hair trial with her because we ran late and were late getting to the wedding ceremony location. I never thought I would be super picky about my make-up/hair but it took a lot longer because I kept on asking her to change stuff. But it all worked out and I would highly recommend JAC Beauty!

    Jina was so great to work with. She made sure I was comfortable with everything that was going on. I especially appreciated the iPhone 360 video view of my hair, so I could see the back. She came to my apartment and ensured all details were handled. She's very efficient with her time. I highly recommend her for any event you want to look beautiful for, she'll make you feel gorgeous! Ps the make up and hair lasted all day and night.

    I was referred to Jina by another bride who swore by her services. Not only was Jina down to earth but she was so patient with me through every flinch and movement. Her skills are top notch and she was able to transform me into the bride I envisioned to be on my wedding day. I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup! I plan to refer her to all of my friends who are getting married because she is just that good.

    Jina and her sister make an awesome team. They are not only professional but an absolute pleasure to work with. It can't be easy doing hair & makeup for 13 ladies but to do it so well and with such a sweet, friendly attiitude? Unbelievable.
    Our makeup was perfect. A wedding guest (not in our wedding party) noted how all of us looked so flawless & beautiful that she caught herself running to the bathroom to put more makeup on herself several times! Haha. And a BM actually fell asleep with her makeup on and told me how the makeup still looked nice the next morning!
    For brides, Jina uses some mask facial treatment on the morning of. I don't know what it was but I got several compliments the week after the wedding how my face/skin looked so good.
    They also did an amazing job on our hair. All the girls had different preferences and requests but I think everyone was more than happy with their hair (except perhaps the MIL who thought her 1st style was "too young"...but was totally happy with her 2nd look - sorry Jina).
    My hair? With the veil & the paebaek headpiece coming on & off...especially with the not so gentle paebaek lady "assisting me", I still had every strand in place without loosing volume/poofiness. Whatever she used set my hair rock solid throughout the night.

    Jina "the eyelash queen" was amazing and made all the bridesmaids beautiful! their hair came out gorgeous, and the makeup was flawless. All the girls loved how their eyes came out, especially noting the blending technique which I noticed too. Jina was very responsive and I highly recommend her to any bride!!

    Jina was amazing on our wedding day. I had six bridesmaids getting their make-up applied, and she made each and every one of them feel gorgeous. She was so pleasant to work with, she arrived early and got right to work. She even gave some advice to my bridesmaids on their hairstyles (they did their own hairs), which they appreciated a lot. Jina made the wedding beauty prep fun & seamless for my bridesmaids and myself, and the girls all raved about her and how beautiful they felt & looked. Thank you, Jina and JAC Beauty for all your awesome work!

    Jina of JAC Beauty did the hair and makeup for my wedding and honestly, I can't say enough- she was AMAZING. First and foremost, the way that she made me up, made me feel beautiful and truly like a bride. She works magic~!! The make up was so natural and pretty-- my bridesmaids commented that it looked even better than the makeup at the trial session (which also looked amazing). Second, Jina is soooo professional. She arrived early with her assistant and together, they had all of us ready and feeling beautiful in record time. One of my bridesmaids had not wanted to get either her hair or makeup done, but after looking at all of the other girls- she decided last minute to get her hair done as well. Jina was able to squeeze her into the allotted time and everyone was dressed and beautified right on schedule. Jina was recommended to me by my photographer Ethan Yang, who told me that her makeup comes out perfect in his photos, and I am so THANKFUL that Jina was a part of my special day. <3 I would recommend her wholeheartedly to any bride that is considering her options!
