VickyC5

I chose to work with VickyC5 after several of my friends recommended them to me along with reading their great reviews as Asian Makeup Artists. I was extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend them for hair and makeup. Hera and Alice did an amazing job for my engagement photo shoot and wedding day. They understood what I wanted and made sure everything was perfect. On the day of the wedding, a team of 4 did hair and make up for myself, 6 bridesmaids, mom, aunt and 2 cousins on time and did a great job! Hera and Alice traveled to my wedding venue in Long Island for touch ups afterwards and made sure we all looked glamorous before entering the reception. I loved their professionalism and sense of humor and would definitely work with them again for any future events!

VICKYC5 IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST! I’m so relieved and so happy to have had the chance to book them for my wedding. They were phenomenal! I know a lot of friends who used VickyC5 for their hair and makeup services and it says a lot that they are so popular just from word of mouth. The staff there are very friendly, incredibly accommodating and importantly great at what they do. It gave me extra comfort that they knew my venue from having been there previously. From the bridal trial to the day of, they were awesome to work with and truly professional. The moment Alice, Hera and Joy walked in, they set up quickly and made us feel comforted and beautiful! All of them are well versed and flexible in doing both hair and makeup. We had 2 doing makeup and 1 doing hair. I had all 4 of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup done including 2 mothers and myself. I would highly, highly recommend VickyC5 for your special day! Thank you for making us ladies feel our best that night! I can’t wait to see our wedding photos!

Just had my makeup and hair done by Alice at vickyc5. She’s amazing and super nice! I was thrilled with the outcome and got compliments from even strangers when I was out doing my engagement shoot.
I do think the prices at Vickyc5 are definitely higher than average but the quality is definitely there. I am happy that I booked with her and she gave me the exact look I was going for!!!

I had gone to VickyC5 after reading great reviews for Asian Makeup Artists. I had gone to other places for trial but afte VickyC5, knew this was it. They are very thorough and pays attention to your needs. On the day of the wedding, they were very accommodating to all of my bridesmaids! The hair and makeup stayed throughout the entire day and I didn’t have to touch-​up at all! They really know what’s best for you as you walk in for consultation. Having them as part of my wedding was absolutely the greatest choice I’ve made! Makes you look amazing on your special day. Highly recommended —

My wedding was in March of 2016 and Vicky and her team were amazing! I tried 3 other make up artists (white and hispanic) before looking up specifically a Korean Makeup Artist team.
Vicky and her crew traveled to Long Island in the morning and did hair and makeup for me, my wedding party and my mother. Vicky even did a little touch up for the groom! :) Everyone was very happy with the result and I was ecstatic… however, I was really happy about the fact that my mother was so approving of their work. :) My mother wore a traditional Korean dress (Hanbok) and Vicky knew exactly what to do with her makeup and hair. Everyone looked amazing and I was very very fortunate to have them work on my wedding.
I would recommend it to anyone and also I would definitely use them again for any future event.
I think it was important that I found an amazing Korean Makeup Artist team. They have a better understanding of Asian Makeup. I

I knew I wanted to book Vicky and her team for my wedding after seeing their work first hand when I was a bridesmaid for my MOH’s wedding. Ladies, if you are Korean/​Asian and especially if you have monolids, you know the struggle of getting your eye makeup done professionally. It was a must-​have for me to have a Korean makeup artist for my wedding. A few things that I want to point out that made my experience so positive:
— I struggle with eyeliner/​mascara smudging issues, but through Vicky’s magic, nothing moved or needed to be touched up from 9am through midnight that day.
— I had a very intricate updo, each of my bridesmaids have varying textures/​length/​style of hair and no one’s hair budged at all, even through all our dancing and the after party
— I also have dry skin and usually any long lasting products gets cakey throughout the day; but again, after 15 hours of dancing, photos, change of location and clothes, everything looked just as dewy, fresh and lovely as when first applied.
— I’m sure if you have an exact look they can replicate it to a T. But I wasn’t sure what I wanted; Vicky worked with me to develop a style that went with my dress, flowers, bridesmaids dresses, colors and venue style.
— Trial makeup session included for certain packages; I used it for my engagement shoot day and photos turned out amazing.

Vicky was so professional that the morning of my wedding was so calm and relaxing and not at all chaotic. She and her crew arrived on time and had us ready on time, even with me having to leave in the middle of getting ready to go pick up my wedding dress! Everyone looked and felt so beautiful, and the makeup and hair lasted through the whole day — even through pictures in the rain and wind! She is truly an experienced professional. She knew just how to manage my mother (who can be a difficult person) so that my mother would be ready in time for pictures with minimal fussing. Thank you again Vicky!

Got Eyelash extensions from Gina… Amazing!

I contacted VickyC5 via email on 12÷20÷15 to inquire about hair and makeup on New Years Day. On 12÷22÷15, we scheduled an appointment for 6:30p on 1÷1÷16.
On the afternoon of 12/​30, I called the salon to confirm the appointment so I was totally shocked when I received an email at 5:12p that night cancelling my appointment without explanation. When I called the salon for an explanation, the persons verbatim response to my situation was «ok.» No apology. No explanation. Just ok.
Because they cancelled on me at end of day, I was not able to find anyone available to at least do my hair on New Years Eve — all of those appointments had long been booked.
I cannot comment on their services since they cancelled my appointment. I can however comment on their complete lack of professionalism. I would not recommend booking this salon for any event that is important or that matters to you because apparently they think it’s ok to cancel last minute without explanation.

Vicky and her crew did hair and makeup for my whole bridal party and my mother. My mom specifically wanted to work with someone who had done hair and makeup for Korean women in traditional dresses, so it made her happy. But I chose Vicky independent of this fact, based on all the great reviews and our trial run.
We did a hair and makeup trial, and she went through several different looks for my hair, both up and down. She was super kind and easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, she brought everything with her: including 4 staff members, all the hair and make-​up supplies, an emergency touch up kit for me, and mood music for while we’re getting ready. Her crew was so amazing working with all my bridesmaids to help give them the look they wanted. We all wanted a fairly easy and natural look to our makeup, nothing crazy overboard. I was very happy with the way it all turned out, and even Mom was happy with her hair and makeup.
Most of all, Vicky’s staff were AMAZING working with my little sister. My sister has some special needs, but I love her to death and wanted to make her as much a part of the wedding day as possible without stressing her out. Vicky was able to do just the right amount with both her hair and makeup to get her all excited about participating, but keep it all no maintenance for the rest of the day. I’ve never seen my sister so happy… it was amazing.
Speaking of no maintenance, I did not have to touch the hair once. Not once in my long day from 10:30am hair, to the end of the reception 12 hours later, followed by our 4 hour after-​party. I was running all around NYC for photos, I was jumping all around the reception dance floor. and at the end of the night, my hair was exactly in place, just as she had placed it. Not a hair out of place.
Love it! Thanks Vicky for everything! Worth every penny!

So yesterday was my first time attending one of their beauty seminar.
I am a definite fan of this place for anything beauty related!
The seminar was about 2 hour long, with details and demonstration and let me not omit with some good coffee and sweets…
Details were given about different kind of products they use for each purposes, for example, eyebrows, foundation… etc.
Plus as Asians with monolids, we had some additional tips to make our eyes look more attractive (yes, that’s always been my issue…) and skin appropriate solutions for every issues.
Loved that we can test everything after the workshop and some discount on purchases!
I purchased a face scrub, which I already used and am in looooooove with!
Definitely will go back to one of these seminars again and hope I’ll be taking some makeup lesson from the one and only, Amy soon! ;))

VickyC5 was wonderful from start to finish. I never went for a consultation or bridal trial due to time and budget constraints; so, on the day of my wedding, Vicky, herself, came to dress my hair and do my makeup. My husband said I looked like Grace Kelly with the way that Vicky had styled my hair – classic, elegant, no «bird nests» per my request. They were easy to work with and very funny throughout the entire session; my bridesmaids, mother, MOH, and even my 2 year old daughter enjoyed having them as our makeup team. My daughter loved having her hair curled and the stylist (Hera) made her feel comfortable.
Hera is hilarious, and Vicky knows exactly what she’s doing. She worked with my features and what I wanted, while keeping the style of my dress in mind, to highlight and compliment everything else. I had so many wonderful compliments from guests especially about my hair.
I have attached a few photos with the caption: Photographer — Danny Seo (
). Please check him out if you need a great photographer.
Thanks, Vicky and the team. Getting ready with you was a blast, and I will absolutely pass your info along to any other future brides or potential clientele who need your services!

I just can’t say enough great things about Vicky and her team, so I’ll let the pictures do the talking. Just a little of background: on the day of our engagement photo shoot, the entire week of our wedding and on our wedding day, it poured and Joaquin also showed up; nevertheless, Vicky and her team made sure, my fiancé, sisters and I looked our best at all time. If you are looking for commitment and quality work, you are in the right place.
P.S we had the silk extensions.

Thank you Vicky and team made my wedding day so perfect. Her make up for me natural style yet with color that made me feel special and beautiful.
Vicky was a great person to work with, so professional and friendly. She made the preparation process such an enjoyment.
Also I did eye lashes extension the day before. It made a huge difference. It’s dramatics yet natural. For those of you that don’t wear too much make up in your usual mode, this is a must have.

This place is great. My fiancé picked them to do her hair and makeup for our wedding at a Korean wedding expo.
There’s main location is here in midtown. We planned our photo engagement session with our photographer and we stopped here a few hours before to get glammed up. Well not me. I already look goooood ;) I was bored having to wait so they allowed me to catch some ZZZ in one of the facial’s room. Before we left the makeup person touched up my face with some powder and gelled me hair for free.
They did a great job with my Boo Boo’s hair and makeup. We shot at Central park and the meat packing district in 90 degree weather and our hair was still good and her makeup lasted many hours after the photos were done.
I understand that planning a wedding is expensive and a lot people is going in to try to under cut the price of many vendors. I don’t think its worth pissing off or go cheap on a vendor such as the makeup and hair person since photos and how you look will be what people will remember. This session was around $ 200 and we tipped $ 20 cash to each stylist.
I expect them so a banging job on the wedding day as well. I am also having them to do up the bridal party as well. So, my beautiful Boo Boo will be surrounded with her friends who also feel beautiful.

My sister in law booked this company for her wedding day. It’s notable for specializing in Korean hair and make up, however as a Caucasian female I can attest their skill set reaches beyond international borders. I’ve been made up before for a variety of occasions, and I always have a similar complaint — my skin tone never matches my neck! This place really hones in on your complexion and strives to not only match it accurately, but achieve a clear porcelain doll look. As for the rest of the make up, I loved how they made my eyes pop but the fake eye lashes did end up coming off by the evening. I would have preferred having individual eyelashes placed as opposed to a row of them connected together. The up do was elegant and simple and lasted me the entire night.
They have two locations, one in queens and one in Manhattan. For a Long Island, Manhattan or Brooklyn event, I recommend stopping in!

I had Vicky C5 for my engagement shoot and wedding hair/​makeup, and absolutely loved their work. They are professional, friendly, and absolute experts with Asian faces and hair. I don’t usually wear makeup, so I was a bit nervous, but Amy did an amazing job with a really natural look. At our engagement shoot, my friend (who also happened to be our photographer’s wife) exclaimed, «Jess, you look like you! Just even more beautiful!»
On my wedding day (Sat 8÷1÷15), they jumped right into our hair and makeup. My mom also doesn’t usually wear much makeup, but she looked incredible, natural, and even younger than usual (people tend to mistake us for sisters). My makeup and updo stayed the whole day. I highly recommend them and would be happy to come back for any future events.

Even though it’s been almost a year since my wedding, I continue to visit Vicky c5 on a monthly basis for my eyelashes, massages and makeup/​hair for events. I had such a good experience that I have referred them to my friends getting married, who have also been very happy with their work.
Since I already wrote a general review, today I’ll write about my lashes. I’ve been getting lash extensions done for over 10 years from places that charge $ 30 to $ 300+ per sessions. Amy at Vicky c5 does an amazing job for a reasonable price. The lashes look dramatic without looking fake. Even better, I am done in less than an hour and the lashes look great for over a month. I usually go 2.5 months between eyelash visits (I like to take breaks between applications and wait for them to fall out instead of doing touch ups.) I love not having to wear a lot of makeup, especially when I’m on vacation or when the weather is super hot. Check out my pic!

I got my photos and they look great. If you want to see my outfit, makeup, etc. check it out here:

My first experience with VickyC5 was amazing! Vicky and her team did the whole bridal party’s makeup, hair and styling. They were so attentive and they actually LISTEN to what their client wants!
Since then, I came here twice for eyelash extensions. Let me just say — Angie is godsent! She did my eyelashes twice and I’ve gotten sooooo many compliments about them.
Thanks Vickyc5 for making me look/​feel beautiful each and every time!
