Hi! My name is Danny, and I am a professional makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the industry.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and am well-versed in tailoring my skills to meet their specific needs. Whether it's for a classic bridal look or a bold and avant-garde editorial spread, I have the expertise to make it happen.

A different wedding makeup artist recommended me to Danny and specifically said he is the only person she likes to do her own makeup. That was an immediate good sign for me. When I first reached out to him his kindness and sincerity were the first things I noticed. He was super professional and thorough but also very easy to talk to. I ended up doing two makeup and hair trials and felt really good about my look after the second one. Lia was the hair stylist who Danny recommended and works with frequently. They were both very understanding and just wanted me to feel my best. They were right on time the day of the wedding, had such a calming presence and everyone was so happy with their hair and makeup. One of my bridesmaids who didn’t originally sign up for makeup asked to have hers done because of how much she loved everyone else’s and because we had enough time he was able to do it. After the wedding everyone said how well my makeup and hair lasted and you can tell in the photos as well! Danny and Lia were great listeners, super fun, very approachable and easy to talk to in the process of figuring out what I liked and didn’t like and just really skilled at their craft. Their pricing was also very reasonable and you could tell their passion and love for what they do was their drive. Danny was great at communicating and really organized as well. I would highly recommend them both!!

Not only as a Makeup Artist, but also as a licensed Esthetician- making women feel beautiful in the skin they are in, especially for their big day, has always been my top priority!

From the moment I reached out to Johanna for a wedding makeup inquiry, she was so kind and had such good energy. I found her on Instagram through other brides who had hired her and I absolutely loved her work. Booking was easy, the contract was very straight forward, and I was so excited that she was available for our wedding! She came to my house for my trial, which was so convenient. Trial makeup was beautiful but she also knew exactly what we would change up on wedding day and was very honest and open with her thoughts and with asking for my opinion, which I appreciated so much. On wedding day, it felt like she was just one of the girls, along with her amazing assistant for our 10-person service. Her vibe, energy, and genuine appreciation for getting to do our makeup was so felt. Everyone’s makeup came out so beautifully and they were all so happy! Our group ranged from mid 20-30 year olds, 50-60 year olds, and my Nana in her 80’s - which just shows how dedicated to her craft she is and how diverse her skills are. Johanna is truly incredible at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough!!

Callie is beyond talented! I got married this past September at the Nonantum Resort in Kennebunkport, Maine and Callie made me and all my bridesmaids look and feel our absolute best. I first did my hair trial in July 2025 and loved how it came out, but wanted a bit more volume for the big day. Callie took the time to give me helpful tips and tricks, and on my wedding day my hair was truly everything I could have dreamed of. She brought such a sweet, calm energy to the morning that set the tone for the whole day, and it’s something I’ll cherish forever. My bridesmaids couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful they felt, and how relaxed and unrushed the entire experience was. If you’re thinking about hiring Callie and her team- do it!

Sarah did my wedding hair, my moms and bridesmaids back in June and everyone was OBSESSED! Our hair held up from morning till night through the wind, warm weather, dancing and spinning and twirls for pictures. My hair does not hold a curl at all and if you look at the pictures it completely held up and looked stunning. She was very easy to talk to through the whole process from the moment of me reaching out till the day of the wedding. I had hair cuts with her in between to keep my hair healthy and a trial and I still continue to get my hair cuts with her because her personality is so great to work with plus it’s the best haircuts I’ve ever gotten (even my husband goes to her now). Definitely recommend Sarah for your wedding day and everything before and after!

Anica is fantastic. Her work is beautiful and she helped me and my bridal party to feel confident and pampered on the day of the wedding. I chose to do a trial before the wedding on Anica's recommendation, and I am so glad that I did! I did not realize my skin would have sensitivity issues to some of the products so it was great to find that out BEFORE it was my wedding day. Anica work around these sensitivities and created a look I am still so in love with. The pictures I attached are intentionally spaced throughout the day to show that the makeup application held up throughout photos, ceremony, and the after party. Not only is Anica talented, but she was able to provide council on what type of makeup to choose based on my/other recipient's desires and complexion needs. She was even willing to apply false lashes to one of my bridesmaids, last minute, who did not choose to book a makeup application! I cannot recommend Be Pretty enough!

From start to finish Michelle was absolutely wonderful to work with. When we did the trial she was completely open to any feedback I had but she had 10/10 captured my vision and I had no notes!! Then on wedding day her presence was so calming and she kept everyone right on schedule. It made the vibe in the room so fun and relaxing - no one was rushing and everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. We all have very different hair and make-up preferences and she perfected each and every one. I've been in several weddings and had HMU done multiple times in NYC and all over and Michelle was far and away the best I've experienced.

I got married on 10/18/2025 and hired Beauty Boston for hair and makeup. I found Beauty Boston on The Knot and was drawn in by the volume of positive reviews for the company. I utilized the online inquiry form to reach out, and Marissa responded right away with pricing information and availability. I appreciated that I was able to do a trial before committing to booking anything and loved that the company offered both makeup and hair options. I was assigned Andi as a make up artist and Jordan as a hair stylist. I had my trial with Andi, and she did a fantastic job. She listened to what I truly wanted and was very adaptable when I requested small tweaks. She kept track of all the products she used and all of my requests really well because she replicated the look perfectly 9 months later on my wedding day. While I had a lifelong friend do my own hair for my wedding, Jordan did hair for my 4 bridesmaids, my mother, and my mother-in-law. All of their styles came out beautiful and lasted the whole night (my sister even wore her look to brunch the next day and it still looked amazing)! During the planning process, Marissa was extremely helpful in coordinating timelines and pricing. I loved that the artists were able to come on site to the hotel where we got ready and they even brought their own chairs for us to use. On the wedding day, both Andi and Jordan were extremely punctual and kind. They really both did a fantastic job and kept us on schedule. We even had time at the end for two bridesmaids who had not requested make up to get lashes put on for a small fee at the last second. I truly could not have picked a better company for my wedding beauty and am so grateful to Andi and Jordan for making me and my bridal party look so good on my big day!

From start to finish, working with her was an absolute dream. Her energy in addition to her work were EVERYTHING. She absolutely nailed my Hollywood vision, every wave perfectly placed. All of my bridesmaids were in love with their looks. Shelby made everyone feel and look their best on such a big day. Couldn't recommend her enough!!!!

From our first phone call/interview, I KNEW I had to book with Sara. Her dedication to make brides not only look beautiful but *FEEL* like themselves on their wedding day meant everything to me. I am "light"/natural make up person, so it was important that I still felt like myself during my wedding day. She was absolutely incredible to work with. Very responsive to emails, feedback, questions and more. As a client, watching her be so passionate about her work was/is inspiring. She made the morning of my wedding so fun, stress-free and set the tone for the day (in the best way possible). My entire wedding party had nothing but wonderful things to say about Sara and how they looked/felt after getting their makeup done. As a bride, Sara gave me the space to criticize what I liked, what I didn't like and/or what I wanted to emphasize more. I cried during our trial (tears of joy) and cried the day of my wedding (I'm a soft ball). The day of my wedding, I told Sara what details I wanted to change and she was SO supportive of my decision(s) - which is a big deal because everyone wants to give their thoughts/opinions and Sara only cared about what *I* wanted. Lastly, I cried on/off during my wedding day (so many happy tears), it rained/sprinkled during our first look photos and the rest of the night, I sweated on the dance floor and my make up looked FLAWLESS throughout the entire night. Sara gave me a little kit for touch ups as needed (after the ceremony) and I didn't even need it (except the lips which I did eventually reapply).

Antonia applied the most beautiful makeup for myself and my bridesmaids this past weekend for my wedding! She had never met any of us to do a trial and effortlessly got right to work enhancing our natural beauty. I would highly recommend her and her team for any event that you'd like to get a little more glammed up than usual!
