Who this is for

If you are new to Saigon, this part matters

Booking beauty services in a country you have just moved to is mostly guesswork — no published prices, no clear answers, and a lot of translated back-and-forth. KINKAY is set up to remove all three.

About

Kay

Kay — founder of KINKAY, makeup artist in Ho Chi Minh City

Kay comes from backstage at some of the biggest stages in Vietnam — Miss Cosmo International, Miss Vietnam, Miss Grand Vietnam, and runway shows for designers Đỗ Long and Adrian Anh Tuấn. She trained at Quân Nguyễn & Pu Lê Academy and Ken Academy.

Her signature is restrained glam: a base that still reads as skin up close, and definition that stays natural. Backstage work sets a hard standard — the makeup has to survive stage lighting, close-up lenses and eight straight hours. That standard is what she brings to a client's face.

She reads the face before the first brushstroke: bone structure, skin tone, and the one feature worth the spotlight. You will not walk out looking like someone else.

"Your beauty is already there. My job is simply to let people see it — clearer, and more like you."

FAQ

Questions Kay gets from English-speaking clients

Do you speak English?

Yes. Kay works comfortably in English and has done makeup backstage at international pageants including Miss Cosmo International, where the working language is English. Zalo and Instagram messages in English are fine.

Do you work with non-Asian skin tones?

Yes. Kay's kit carries a full shade range and she works regularly with clients of different skin tones — that comes from backstage work where the cast is international and there is no time to improvise a match.

Do you travel for destination weddings in Vietnam?

Yes — Da Nang, Hoi An, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Da Lat and anywhere else in the country. Travel and accommodation costs are quoted in full before you confirm. Nothing gets added later.

How far in advance should I book?

Weddings: 2 to 4 months for peak season and auspicious dates. Events on weekends: 1 to 2 weeks. Weekdays are often available at shorter notice. Asking costs nothing.

What is Zalo and do I need it?

Zalo is Vietnam's main messaging app — free, works like WhatsApp, and it is where Kay replies fastest. If you would rather not install it, Instagram (@kinkay.official) and email ([email protected]) both work.

How do payments work?

A deposit holds your date; Kay confirms the amount and the change or cancellation terms before you transfer anything. Bank transfer or cash. For weddings, the balance is settled on the day.

Is your date still open?

Fill this in and Kay will check the calendar and reply the same day. Submitting opens Zalo with your message already written — you just paste and send.
