With over 30 years of experience as a Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist, my journey began in Korea, continued through New York City, and has grown into a lifelong passion for beauty and artistry in Los Angeles.

As one of the early pioneers to establish a professional makeup studio in Los Angeles, I have dedicated my career to creating exceptional beauty experiences and introducing the artistry and aesthetics of K-Beauty to a global audience. Today, I continue to lead MUST Makeup & Hair LA, bringing decades of expertise, creativity, and industry knowledge to every client.

Throughout my career, I have worked across a wide range of fields, including weddings, broadcasting, film, fashion shows, editorial, and special events. My passion for K-Beauty has allowed me to share Korean beauty techniques and trends while inspiring clients and artists through my work.

Beyond makeup and hair, I am deeply committed to education and mentoring the next generation of beauty professionals, sharing the skills, creativity, and dedication that have shaped my career.

I believe true beauty is about discovering and enhancing each person’s unique identity. Through customized styling, continuous growth, and an artist’s passion, I strive to create timeless beauty experiences that reflect the individuality and confidence of every client.

I began my makeup and hair journey in Korea, where I developed my passion and expertise in K-Beauty and professional beauty techniques. To further expand my artistry, I moved to New York City and immersed myself in the global beauty industry.

During my nine years in New York, I gained extensive experience working in fashion shows, runway, editorial, commercial, and bridal makeup and hair. These experiences allowed me to collaborate with talented artists and industry professionals, shaping my creative vision and commitment to exceptional beauty services.

In 2017, I relocated to California and joined MUST Makeup & Hair. Today, I proudly operate as the Owner and Director of MUST Makeup & Hair OC, leading a talented team of professional artists and providing luxury beauty services for clients throughout California and destination locations.

From K-pop artists and red carpet events to film productions, weddings, and special occasions, I continue to bring together Korean beauty expertise, global industry experience, and personalized artistry to create unforgettable beauty experiences.

As a Licensed Cosmetologist and Certified Personal Color Analyst, I specialize in creating customized makeup, hair, and beauty solutions that enhance each client’s unique features, style, and confidence — wherever their special moment takes place.
