For over 30 years, I have been working as a makeup artist and hair stylist, starting in Korea, then New York, and now based in both Los Angeles and Orange County. I was among the first to open a makeup studio in LA, and currently serve as the director of Must Makeup Hair, with locations in both LA and OC.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to a wide range of projects in weddings, broadcasting, film, fashion shows, and special events. As a pioneer of K-Beauty, I’ve played a key role in introducing and promoting the unique aesthetics and trends of Korean beauty to the global stage. I’m also deeply passionate about mentoring and training the next generation of artists.
Rather than focusing solely on external beauty, I strive to highlight each client’s individuality and essence through customized styling. With a professional mindset and a commitment to continuous learning, I continue to pursue the path of a true artist.
I started my makeup and hair training in Korea, specializing in K-beauty. In order to develop my skills even further, I moved to New York, NY.
In New York, I had the opportunity to work across various fields like fashion/run ways, editorial, commercial, and bridal makeup and hair. This experience allowed me to work and learn from the very best Makeup and Hair Artists.
After nine years in New York, I relocated to California in 2017 and started working for MUST Makeup Hair and become an Director of OC.
Working at MUST Makeup Hair has been a dream as I get to work with K-pop artists, red carpet celebrities, in various movies, and amazing weddings.
I am a licensed Cosmetologist and also certified in Personal Color Analysis, offering tailored beauty that highlights each client’s unique features.

You can request for airbrush makeup. We do not charge additional fee for using airbrush.
Airbrush is foundation applied using an airbrush gun. It will last all day and won’t smear, which means you won’t need any touch-ups throughout the day. With most photography and video graphy in HD today, airbrush will give you more natural look in your pictures.
“Beauty MUST” means enhancing your natural beauty that is unique only to you. We may use various styles of Hair & Makeup – Natural, Soft, Smokey Eyes, Dewy, Natural Glow, Up-do, Glam Waves, and Half Up/Down, – but your best features will be highlighted.
