Mio is so lovely and professional. I hired her as my MUA for my wedding makeup and she did amazing!! Her mobile services are so convenient and the prices are great for the high quality of her work. I would definitely recommend her!

I had such a wonderful experience! She did an amazing job making me feel beautiful for our kimono photoshoot in Kyoto. We really appreciated her willingness to accommodate us with an early morning appointment at our hotel.
