Hi! I’m Pa Kou
(pronounced Pa Khoo)

Your wedding morning should feel calm, beautiful, and completely like you. After 15+ years doing bridal hair and makeup in the Los Angeles and Orange County area, I have learned that what brides remember most isn't just how they looked in the photos, it is how they felt getting ready. My job is to make sure you feel both.

My signature is soft glam (luminous skin, effortless waves, romantic updos) looks that bring out your natural beauty rather than covering it up. Every bride I work with gets a completely customized look, because no two brides are the same, and your wedding day look shouldn't be either.

I started my career as a certified makeup artist from the Westmore Academy of Cosmetic Arts and fell in love with bridal styling from there. Since then, I've never stopped learning by training under top bridal artists like Antonina Ilchenko and Cara Clyne, and earning my cosmetology license and certifications in lash and brow artistry along the way.

But what my brides will tell you matters most? I listen. I show up on time. And I genuinely care about every single person sitting in my chair. When you leave my studio, I want you walking out the door feeling confident, seen, and absolutely beautiful because that is exactly what you deserve on your wedding day.

“It is really comforting when you find someone who listens to your needs and wants when it comes to looking your best on your wedding day.”

Your wedding day has exactly one morning and it goes fast. That's why having the right artist by your side isn't just about looking beautiful in the photos. It's about starting your day feeling taken care of, unhurried, and completely yourself.

When you book with me, I don't just show up on the day and hope for the best. I start with a preview session so you can see your look, feel it, and make it exactly what you have been envisioning. On your wedding morning, I bring calm, professionalism, and a steady hand so you can be fully present for every moment.

Whether you're dreaming of soft romantic waves, a sleek updo, or a glam look that photographs beautifully from every angle, I will work with you to make it happen. You bring the vision. I will bring it to life.

All her makeup, makeup brushes, and tools were very clean and well kept. One of my bridesmaids has an allergy, and they were able to accommodate to her needs while still providing beautifully applied makeup.
