A word from stylist Yu-Tong

Hair and makeup isn't just about touch-ups — it's a form of companionship.

"Many people think hair and makeup is just about touching up appearance, but to me it's more like companionship. Some clients are heading to their first interview, some are about to graduate, some are starting a business, getting married, or entering a new stage of life.

I understand the nervousness and self-doubt that comes with facing a camera. My job isn't just doing your makeup and hair — it's helping you, through professional care and attention to detail, gradually find your confidence again.

Studio lighting is different from everyday environments, and the camera also magnifies skin texture and small details. So we adjust base makeup, contouring, and overall dimension to match the shoot, keeping the look natural, clean, and timeless.

I hope that everyone who comes to Golden Years Photo leaves liking themselves just a little more than when they walked in."

Booking & Arrival Time

Arrival time is calculated backward from your shoot time: Women's / Men's Basic Makeup — 30 min: shoot at 14:00 → arrive at 13:20 (40 minutes early) Women's / Men's Premium Hair & Makeup — 1 hr: shoot at 14:00 → arrive at 12:50 (1 hr 10 min early) Women's Custom Hair & Makeup — 1.5 hr: shoot at 14:00 → arrive at 12:20 (1 hr 40 min early) We recommend adding your hair & makeup option at the time of booking so your schedule flows smoothly.

On-site Prep & DIY Hair/Makeup

No, it's optional. If you skip it, we'll show you to our self-service area, which is stocked with a hairdryer, curling iron, and steam iron for free use. Our recommendation: studio lighting is demanding on makeup, and our professional artists adjust the look specifically for the camera and retouching workflow. If you're not confident doing your own makeup, or don't often appear on camera, we recommend adding hair & makeup when you book. Our overall approach is "natural, refined, camera-ready" — the basic plans lean toward a light, brightening look.

If you've booked hair & makeup: yes, please arrive with a bare face (skincare products are fine). Keep your hair dry and unstyled — our stylist will take care of it. If you haven't booked hair & makeup: please arrive with your makeup and hair already done. On-site, we only offer a self-service area with tools (hairdryer, curling iron, steam iron, etc.) for final touch-ups — our stylists are unable to do a full makeup application without a booked add-on.

If you've booked hair & makeup (including Women's Premium, Men's Premium, or Women's Custom): just arrive with dry hair — no need to style it yourself beforehand. Please wash and dry your hair at home before coming. If you haven't booked hair & makeup / are only using the self-service area: you'll need to do your own hair and makeup. We provide a hairdryer, curling iron, and steam iron on-site, so please allow time to get ready before your shoot.

Style & Results

Our overall philosophy is "natural, refined, camera-ready." Our artist will always check your preferences with you before starting. - Women's / Men's Basic Makeup: lean toward a natural, brightening, light look - Women's / Men's Premium Hair & Makeup: refined but still natural and camera-friendly, great for headshots and formal occasions - Women's Custom Hair & Makeup: the most complete, fully customized styling consultation We suggest Women's Basic Makeup's lighter look for ID photos, and Women's Premium for LinkedIn or professional headshots to project confidence. You can always ask for something lighter or more polished on the day.

Yes. Our artist will discuss your needs with you and confirm a final direction based on the principle of "natural, refined, camera-ready." Women's Custom Hair & Makeup includes a custom hairstyle and a more thorough styling consultation. Suggestions by occasion: - ID photos: natural, light makeup, clear features, hair kept away from the face — usually Women's Basic Makeup - LinkedIn / resume / professional image: polished and professional — usually Women's Premium (or Men's Premium for men) - Social / keepsake / events: more room for personal style — Women's Premium or Custom

Our hair & makeup service includes basic even-toned coverage and concealing, which can reduce the visibility of acne, dark circles, and stubble under the camera. Retouching can further soften some remaining imperfections and dark circles. Combining hair & makeup with retouching usually produces the most natural result, without looking overly edited. That said, neither can fully replace basic skincare and grooming beforehand, so we still recommend taking care of your skin and grooming before your shoot.
