I used Kalam and her makeup assistant for my wedding. We had hair styling and makeup for three people. Throughout the process Kalam was so kind and personable. She communicated well and answered my many questions and requests. Most importantly, she listened to my vision for my makeup and hair and did a perfect job bringing it to life. My bridesmaids were also so happy with their makeup and hair styling. I would highly recommend Kalam and her team again! 100%!

I hired Ka Lam to do my makeup for my wedding after seeing her work at other weddings. She did not disappoint! From the beginning of the make up trial session, Ka Lam just knew what would work well with my skin tone and features. I didn’t have a clue what I was envisioning for my wedding makeup and Ka Lam was able to find the perfect look. She is incredibly experienced and able to work pretty quickly and skilfully. Her makeup brushes are also super soft! Love love LOVE her!

I had 2x 1.5hr make-up classes with Kalam. The lessons were really well-structured, starting with the basics like foundation then going on to eyes, brows and lips. Every steps were described and demonstrated in great details! Also, a compilation of informative class notes were provided, not only describing the lesson content but also providing some top-quality make up products to be used for each step. This saved me so much time from finding the right products for me. I also appreciate Kalam's emphasis on skin care:) She was SO passionate, SO kind and SO knowledgable in makeup and art! I was a

Kalam was really good and professional. She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding and I was very happy with her work. She knew exactly what I wanted and both hair and makeup lasted the whole night! I will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her to my friends.

She really did a great job at my makeup, it's exactly the style I wanted .
Communication was great and she is fun.
We borrowed the hair decorations and returned it another day.
She also recorded the process of makeup, its fun to watch the changing .

Kalam is an excellent makeup artist and hairstylists. She did my makeup and hair for my wedding day. I met her a few weeks before the wedding for a bridal trial session. She was so lovely to work with and extremely personable, patient, and kind. She did two different looks and both were lovely. Kalam knew exactly what makeup and hair styles would suit me and I was very pleased with the outcome. She is very professional and knowledgeable and provided tips and tricks throughout both sessions.
On my wedding day I knew I was in good hands. She did a wonderful job of my hair and makeup and I felt beautiful

I booked Kalam to do the hair and make up for my wedding and she was fantastic! She is clearly very passionate, experienced and knowledgable about her craft, and was so pleasant to work with. We did a trial session ahead of the wedding, where she was super friendly and easy to talk to. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted, while offering up her expert advice. In the end, I couldn't be happier with the way the hair and makeup turned out. I was so emotional on the big day and she really helped calm my butterflies! She went above and beyond, and I am so glad she was a part of our wedding

Ka Lam was my makeup/hair artist for my pre-wedding photos and wedding. She was professional and listened to my preferences, but also gave suggestions for what would suit each event. She did 4 looks for me total, and each was well done, didn't budge (despite July heat and humidity), and transitioned beautifully from day to night. I highly recommend her not only her her skills, but also her warmth and kindness!

Amazing makeup artist, I had a session with Kalam few days ago and she is extremely professional with an incredible background. She made me feel so at ease and the result came out beyond my expectation. My friends were so envious of the new look and hairdo she gave me!! I loved it so much I introduced her to my friend today who is getting married and she ended up booking her for both reception and wedding! I will come back to her very soon for an upcoming event. Thank you so much Kalam!
