Here''s a link to a thread about Socal hair & makeup artist that I posted info about 5 artists if you haven''t check them out already. The prices were 2005, so I don''t know if they are still correct.
Jessie Lin - She is an associate of Joyce Luck. Tina Chen - Her pricing is really good, but my friend wasn't happy with her trial. Bride's Bliss
Elaine From Promise Studio (on Las Tunas in Temple City) - her contact info is here.
