Hi, I’m Lisa —
I've always loved making beautiful things. I started out in graphic design, somehow wandered into bridal styling, fell in love with hair and makeup, and somewhere along the way started making wedding invitations and stickers, too. And... well, here we are. Apparently, I have a hard time sticking to just one creative field.
But looking back, I think it's always been about the same thing. I just love beautiful things. Dreamy, romantic, edgy, sophisticated, cute, or a little unexpected—I love them all. I don't always have a specific idea in mind, either. Sometimes I just enjoy exploring different possibilities, playing around with styles, and seeing what feels right. That's half the fun of being creative, isn't it? And honestly, a little therapeutic, too.
Before hair and makeup, I spent some time working as a bridal stylist. And as much as I loved the beautiful dresses (because, of course), my favorite part was seeing someone's face light up when they found the one. That moment when they looked in the mirror and knew, "This is it." And then I'd get excited about everything else, too. What about the hair? The makeup? The earrings and accessories? What's the venue like? What's the whole wedding vibe going to be? I always loved hearing about all those little details.
These days, my world is a mix of hair, makeup, design, the occasional new project, a never-ending list of household chores, and trying to maintain some sort of social life as an introvert. Still figuring out that last part (and possibly ignoring the one before it), but everything else is going pretty well.
Notes from the Chair
A few words from the beautiful people I’ve had the joy of working with.
I wanted to take this time to leave my review for the talented make-up artist and amazing stylist, Lisa Liu!
I went to see Lisa one day and just needed a little pick-me-up. I didn’t expect a full glow-up, but wow — she totally transformed me.
She’s got this amazing talent for Douyin-style makeup, like those viral videos that take someone from every day to absolutely stunning. Her eye for detail is unreal - she knows exactly how to blend, highlight and contour so your features pop in the most flattering way. I left looking radiant and feeling like a whole new person - more confident and ready to take on the world! And the best part? She made it all feel effortless and fun and stress-free as well. I’ll definitely be booking with her again — she’s not only incredibly skilled, she’s also just a lovely human to be around. If you’re thinking about it, trust me, she’s worth it!
If you want that next level glow-up and a make-up pro and stylist who cares, please see Lisa Liu!

Lisa was an absolute dream to work with! She came prepared with adorable and creative visual ideas for the makeup look, which made it so easy to envision the final result. Her attention to detail was flawless, and she executed the look perfectly — enhancing my features while still keeping everything soft, romantic, and bridal. Not only was her artistry on point, but she also had such a warm and friendly presence that made getting ready a joy. I felt so beautiful and photo-ready, and her work truly tied the entire bridal boudoir aesthetic together.

I cannot say enough praises about Lisa! I came to her for bridal hair and makeup, and she was so warm and professional during the entire process.
From the moment we started the trial, Lisa made me feel so comfortable.
She checked in with me regularly on the small details (eyeliner shape, lip color, lash placement, etc) and executed it all flawlessly. Even when I had concerns about making an elaborate updo work with my thin hair or when I wanted to change a detail last-minute, Lisa brought my vision to life. I felt so beautiful
for my engagement shoot and the big day!
I love how light my makeup felt, but what impressed me the most was just how long my hair and makeup lasted through hours of eating and dancing on a warm August day. Not a lash, bobby pin, or curl out of place!
Beyond her amazing hair and makeup skills, Lisa is an absolute joy to work with. She was always very responsive and warm over email, and I never felt stressed corresponding with her during my wedding planning process. Time flies by when you’re in her chair - she really makes you feel so relaxed and confident, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her clients and her artistry.
Lisa is the best and I can’t recommend her enough!
- Louise, Bride
I came to Lisa for hair and makeup, and from the moment I stepped in the door, she was so warm, friendly, and professional. We discussed my style preferences and she got right to work creating a look for me that was girl-next-door but polished. She's efficient and thorough and a whiz at color matching me, plus she continued to check in to see if I had preferences on lashes, style, etc. The time flew by as we chatted, and I was delighted with the final look she gave me! I had also mentioned my alopecia as a concern when doing hair, and Lisa was able to style it effortlessly. My look lasted the whole evening. I highly recommend her.

Lisa was an absolute gem! She is so sweet and incredibly talented! I've only had professional makeup and hair done once before and had a bad experience. This was different! Lisa was an absolute pleasure. She made me feel comfortable and listened to my wants and needs. I felt so beautiful and confident! I loved both my hair and makeup. I can't recommend her enough!

Lisa Liu is absolutely incredible to work with! Her attention to detail and ability to capture your exact vision is unmatched. From the very start, she involved me in every step—showing me sketches, asking for my input, and even bringing creative ideas I hadn’t thought of that made the final look even better than I imagined.
Beyond her artistry, Lisa’s wedding expertise and styling support made the entire process so much smoother. If I could do my wedding all over again, I would ask Lisa to be there for every moment—from dress shopping to hair and makeup on my big day.
Her energy, humor, and genuine care shine through in everything she does. She has an incredible gift for making you feel beautiful, confident, and stress-free. She truly brought my vision to life, and I’ll always be grateful for her talent and support.
Thank you so much again for being a part of this shoot! You brought my vision to life!
