Beauty In Motion Studio

I hired Angela 3 times (2 engagement sessions and my wedding) and I’m going to hire her again to do my makeup for my maternity pictures later this month. She’s soooo easy going and actually listens to what you want instead of being pushing on her opinions (like some other makeup artists that I met up with). What caught my attention is that I have sensitive skin and I usually get a rash after a few hours of wearing major makeup brands (like MAC, Bobbie Brown, etc), but Angela uses Motives. I love Motives makeup! I was using Motives eye shadow before I ever met Angela. If you hire Angela, you won’t regret it!

I had a wonderful hair and make up trial session with Angela. I don’t want to look cakey and full of eye make up for my wedding day and Angela did as requested. She did two hair styles and I liked them both. I’m unsure which one to choose for my big day. I took some pictures of my hair and make up and sent them to my sister. She said I looked like a doll! I’m happy Angela honored the prices she quoted me last year. I feel the prices are very reasonable with the quality of her services. We had many, many email correspondence and she was always responsive no matter what time of the day or night! I signed the contract and paid $ 250 for deposit during my trial session. I am really happy and excited Angela will do my hair and make up on my wedding day!

Angela was great from the beginning to the wedding day! Prompt email responses, free and thorough consultation. Hair and makeup turned out beautifully for me, my mom and mother in law for the wedding, and Angela even left us oil-​absorbing paper for us to freshen up throughout the day.

Beauty in Motion was everything I wanted for my hair and make up for my wedding day! Crystal was always very prompt in replying to my questions and was very warm and friendly. My trial went great and so did my wedding day! My hair and make up stayed beautiful all night long. Crystal was able to create a master piece with the few floral bits I had for her to work with on my wedding day.

I had my wedding a few weeks ago and Carmen was my makeup artist. I received a lot of compliments from family, friends, and guests. I would strongly recommend her for any bride who looks for make up service!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE CRYSTAL!!! My wedding was this past weekend and Crystal and her team did such an amazing job!!! Crystal did my makeup and hair and her team (two wonderful ladies) did my bridesmaids. This review will be for the entire process.
Booking:
The minute I emailed BIMS, I received an immediate reply regarding package pricing. I researched tons of places and BIMS prices were fair, especially for the quality the girls put into their clients. Their bridal package and bridal trial are separate which is kind of nice. If you prefer to not do a trial (I highly recommend a trial, come on its the most important day of your life!) you at least have the option to, price wise.
Complementary Consultation:
Angela and Crystal scheduled a time to meet with me before starting the booking process. They asked me things such as what is your theme, colors, style etc so they can get a feel. Their website is awesome with lots and lots of pictures with a huge variety of hairstyles and makeup looks. This is what sold me on booking with them. Paid a very small deposit fee to hold the date in place. Trust me, the girls are not out to nickle and dime you, and you can really feel their intentions on wanting to make your day perfect!
Bridal Trial:
I was really amazed at the attentive-​ness that Crystal showed, and it was only the bridal trial! Compared to the trial and the actual wedding day, the amount of time Crystal spent on me was the same! During the trial she made absolutely sure it was perfect and that I liked it. I had two hair styles, up-​do and down-​do. She knew I was mainly concerned with my eyes (i have small tiny asian eyes) and she spent alot of time on my eyes to make sure it popped! Overall the trial was a huge success.
Wedding day:
They drove to the location where I was getting ready at. The first 35 miles is free, but I think mine overall was a little over but Crystal didnt even try to nickle and dime me :) her team was on time and ready to go immediately. I kept asking Crystal if she wanted any food or drink, but she only just wanted to focus on me! Yes it did take all morning from 8:30AM-12:00PM but it was so fun chatting here and there with Crystal and her team that I did not even notice what time it was. All of a sudden I was done! I had so much compliments and my friends and family could not believe that was me! I really recommend the air brush, I also tried it during the trial as well. It is a bit extra but it is sooo worth it. I am the type of person that gets sweaty really easily. The airbrush held up so well through my sweat, just make sure you dab and not wipe! Not to mention Crystal gave me a little kit at the end to help with touch ups in between. A blotting sheet to help with my sweating, lip gloss, and extra bobby pins and a lip brush.
Her team also did my bridesmaids, and they did such a beautiful job! While one girl was doing makeup, the other one was doing hair. Maximum efficiency for sure!
Overall, BIMS is soooo awesome! I really recommend them! Not to mention my maid of honor was sooo impressed with them she has also booked them for engagement session, bridal trial, bridal hair and bridesmaids hair. So glad I will have another opportunity to work with Angela and Crystal again =]

BIM was the first vendor I met and I immediately decided to use BIM after talking to Angela during our consultation. Angela is really really sweet. She gave really good suggestions and ideas when I showed her the the make up and hair style I’m looking for.
I got married on 10÷10÷15 and it was extremely hot that day. My makeup kept on without ANY problems through the day and I was very impressed and happy. I got a lot of compliments on my makeup that day.
Also I got a huge pimple a few days before the wedding (I also broke out a week before my engagement photo shot, too. Yeah. go figure…)and I was really upset and worried. After Angela did the makeup, I can hardly see the pimple. It was covered up very naturally without looking heavy or caky.
I would highly recommend Angela and her team for any bride-​to-​be out there and you will not be disappointed.

Angela did an really awesome work on my wedding day. I am lucky enough that I didn’t shop around to find a perfect makeup and hair artist. She was the first vendor that I looked for. She helped me for doing my makeup and hair on my wedding date. I got a lot of complements for all 3 styles on my wedding day. Totally worth it! Here is my experience:
1. My biggest concern is my drooping eyelids. She did an awesome work on that. She needed to cut couple of the tapes that match to my eye shape. My eyes looked a lot of bigger on that day. It came out very nature and it was very comfortable to worn for a day which I even didn’t feel that I put the tape on my eyes. The most important thing that it couldn’t tell I put the tapes on my eyes by looking at the pictures. She knows what she is doing. She taught me some makeup tips.
2. I had a lot of different ideas from Pinterest but I agree what she said at the end. She did an awesome job that customized different styles that fit me. She made sure the bride will be so pretty and her promise didn’t fail.
3. I borrowed her jewelry and accessories on my wedding day. They are all pretty and match my dresses. She helped me save a lot of money. She didn’t charge me because I return everything with same condition.
4. She is very professional. She finished all the make up on time. I was late for my last makeup section. It was out of plan and she waited me for an hour. She totally understood that and very patience.
5. She introduced Szeto Photograph to me and they are very professional. Great team on my wedding! My husband and I are very satisfied from her service. I really want to thank Angela here. Without her, my wedding couldn’t be that pretty as it was. Hope we will come across in the future. I will ask her for do my makeup for next big event.

purchase voucher from Groupon and want to schedule my appointment. First time I call they told me they were very full on weekends. Yes, I understand so I try to book on weekdays. Thursday — oh sorry we close on Thursday. Friday — oh we can’t do that day either. so I book on the Wednesday the following week.
I am very exciting about doing my first time facial. I know their last appointment is 5:30 so I ask to leave work early and have my husband pick up kids. And just about 3 hours before my appointment, they call me to cancel. I ask the lady when the available day is. She can’t give me a day. Oh well… I am very upset about this. I am going to ask refund from groupon. They may be have good service but you need to have very FLEXIBLE schedule to meet their appointment.

I’m not going to have enough time to do justice to this review, but I do want to write something quick while I’m still feeling so much LOVE for BIMS, and especially that Angela!
I was the maid of honor for a wedding last week, and true to form I was running around like a lunatic and forgot to plan how I was going to do my own hair and makeup. I knew that the bride was being forced by her beloved to get her hair and makeup done, thus I also felt compelled to do something special.
Anthony found this five star rated salon himself on Unilocal,five minutes from where we were having breakfast in San Gabriel. And by a small miracle, they were able to fit me in.
I really didn’t know what I wanted — only that I wanted my hair down (cuz I always wear it down) and «um romantic I guess.»
Angela did an amazing job. I have a flat head — like gumby!, and she did something to make my head look not so flat, and my hair very full on top. She knew exactly what I wanted, even though I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. I got so many compliments — and despite the stress and sweat of that day, I maintained my makeup and hair for many hours. The fake eyelashes lasted four days! Many of my friends said «You should go back their for your own wedding Lulu!» I definitely well. Loved Angela’s magic. Hair and makeup took an hour and a half … but Angela made it seem so effortless. Even Anthony really loved it, and snuck a picture of me and put it on Facebook.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SALON! I’d give it ten stars if I could!

Angela is such lovely. Called to book a facial and arrive in time. Angela is very friendly and professional feel warm and welcome when I walk in her store. She takes time to talk to her client and get to know them before anything started. She clearly explain the process and tell you each step as she done them. I high recommend anyone for facial since I only came for facial not hair but she have very good review for hair as I seen on Unilocal reviews. Thank you Angela.

How should I start this writing this marvelous review?! :) I was referred by Beauty in Motion from my girlfriend that was recently married this year. I was not disappointed by this referral because my hair came out exactly what I wanted.
This cozy beauty salon was easy to find in Google Maps. When I arrived at the beauty salon, I noticed there was my hair stylist waiting for me. Her name was Angela and she approached me by asking me how was my day. The session took about an hour and a half with was painless. After that, I saw her talented skills transformed my hair into something extraordinary.
I requested for a half updo for my sister wedding. This type of hairstyle was particular and unique. First, I was unsure upon what I requested was able to be mimicked. Then the turnout of my hair looked unreal. It was so perfect and beautiful. Silly to say, I thought I was wearing a wig. haha. More importantly, I liked the fact how my two-​tone hair color looked on this hairstyle.
Please see attachments so you can share my experience.

Worth every penny! I been pretty stressful planning a wedding under 7k. Crystal, her team worked with me in changing location. They know what style to do for my mom, my aunt, my sister in law, mother in law, flower girl and my two bridesmaids. Which made it easy! The makeup team worked hard, helping me to get dress and ready! My girls looked so beautiful, and classy. I know for sure my sister in law is going to book them for their next year 10 year anniversary. Thank you kindly!

Angela and her team are so talented and wonderful. If it’s possible for makeup artists to have great table side manner, then Beauty in Motion definitely has got it!
Angela and her sister Crystal did makeup and hair for my bridal party, myself and my mother and mother in law. I thought everyone looked great and natural on my wedding day and we were pleased with the results.
Best part was I didn’t have to worry about looking my best that day because Angela took care of that for me.

Angela was amazing from Beauty in Motion. She was always very quick to respond to my emails with exactly the information I needed.
I hired Angela to do my hair and makeup for the wedding day, and she also did my makeup for my engagement photos. Through the whole process she was very attentive and friendly.
For the day of the wedding, she brought in a team to help with the hair and makeup of my 5 bridesmaids and 2 flower girls. They showed up a little earlier than expected, which was so nice, and the whole team was friendly and willing to answer questions about the hair and makeup process.
Angela and her team definitely helped make the morning go smoothly.

There is nothing to do but rave and praise Beauty in Motion and their team. I went in and had my hair and makeup done for my engagement photos (booked them solely on their reviews) and by the end of the appointment had secured them for my wedding 5 months away. They are amazing at what they do. They make you look like yourself, but 100 times better. All my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup on the day, and I could not have been happier myself. I felt beautiful and confident, which is all you can ask for. Plus, my hair and makeup lasted the entire day up until our wedding ended at 1 am.
If I have any special event in the future, I may just have to use it as an excuse to return to them and feel wonderful again!

I LOVE IT HERE
She did my makeup and hair quicker than I had expected and both my hair and makeup lasted the entire night

Where shall I start because there is only good things to say and I mean really good things to say about this place. I’m not a person who can put on makeup because I’m the type who loves basketball shorts and t shirt. What’s makeup? But I had no choice for this special occasion.
First :
I needed a makeup artist who does special occasion makeup. I could of gone to MAC makeup or nordstrom but those were booked for prom session. So I did some Unilocaling. Unbelievable service.
Second :
Email then by doing Web search and got an email back within hours. Follow by a phone call personally by Angela. Her voice on the phone was like, no matter what you say, I’ll use you as my makeup artist for the day or whatever.
Third:
Booked my appointment just 2 days in a need of an artist. Angela said yes, I can come in at 10 since my event doesn’t start still 2.
Fourth:
Gets another phone call by Angela starting she won’t make it to my appointment at 10 because of a bride she would be attending that morning, so that’s a bummer. But it didn’t stop there, she recommended a few other makeup artist, and even gave me their number. So called one of them, said they could take me so I said to them.
Fifth :
Get another text back stating that Angela could do my makeup at 12 if I still wanted to. Thrilled!
Sixth:
After booking, canceling, and recommending other artist, Angela was able to squeeze me in.
Seventh:
Got in, greeted by her. She’s awesome in person.
Eighth:
She’s a teacher. She taught me everything she did within the session and even recommend which brand of makeup is good for my skin. She didn’t just promote the one she uses in the studio but overall.
8 is a lucky and great number to have in chinese culture but if you were asking me rating wise, this place is 188%
She also does great bridal makeup. Too bad I already booked mine for my big day, if not, Angela will definitely be my pick!

Angela was my 3^rd makeup artist that I had a trial with and, I had to say, I had to stop there. She was super nice and listened to everything I wanted. On my wedding day, she made me feel so beautiful and glowed even more than I already was! My husband said that I looked perfect. She enhanced my natural beauty and didn’t have too many colors. That’s what I wanted. Overall, I highly recommend Angela and Beauty In Motion for all you newly engaged brides out there.

I had my hair + makeup done here for a wedding shoot and it was super fun! The photos turned out great I looked like I was ready to be sent off to marriage lol. Crystal and Angela are really nice and they can make you look the prettiest you’ve ever been for your wedding or any special event. :3
They make sure you are very comfortable and are really good at making sure they bring out the best of your features, highlighting what needs to be showcased and concealing any imperfections. They also offer prom or makeup services for special occasions such as a photoshoot or etc. They even let you borrow and add accessories in your hair that match your gown.
They moved to this new location and it’s bigger and brighter than their old space and I would definitely recommend coming here if you need any type of makeup services.
