Design Her Image

Design Her Image provides bridal hair and makeup for weddings, elopements, photoshoots, city hall ceremonies, special events, and destination celebrations.

The approach is to enhance a client's natural features rather than cover them up, with techniques adjusted to each person's eye shape, skin tone, and personal style. Looks range from natural bridal makeup and soft glam to timeless updos.

Wedding packages are built around how long the day runs. The Signature Collection covers one bridal look for the wedding day, the Radiance Collection covers a morning and an evening look that moves from natural to glam, and the Runway Collection covers three looks across a full day from pre-ceremony through the reception, with touch-ups included. The City Chic Collection is a single polished look made for city hall ceremonies and elopements. A concierge touch-up service is also available for long celebrations, offering a refresh or a second look. Bridal Hair and Makeup Experience pricing starts at $1500.

Before the wedding, clients can book a bridal preview of about 2.5 to 3 hours in the studio to fine-tune hair, makeup, and the timeline for the day. Previews are held Tuesday through Friday, with limited Sunday availability. Personal color analysis is a one-on-one session that identifies a client's color season, using Korean 12-season color analysis and personalized makeup recommendations, and it is offered in San Jose, Fremont, and San Francisco. Private makeup lessons are also available in San Jose.

Booking terms: securing a wedding date requires a signed contract and a $500 non-refundable, non-transferable retainer. Booking 6 to 12 months ahead is recommended for peak seasons, and reserving hair and makeup once the date is final is advised. A travel fee applies beyond 10 miles of 95126, and early starts before 8 am carry an extra fee. Canceled services within 60 days of the wedding still owe 50% of the remaining balance. The business accommodates bridal parties of any size and keeps a network of backup artists for emergencies. Contact form inquiries receive a reply within 2 to 3 working days. According to the business, it has more than 300 reviews and has been featured in top bridal publications.

Aims to bring out a client's natural features rather than hide them, with techniques tailored to eye shape, skin tone, and personal style.
