“After scouring Instagram for someone who’s hair and makeup style matched our simple yet elegant aesthetic, we booked Dana for our June 2023 wedding. Dana did hair and makeup for both of us (two brides) as well as hair for my wife’s mother. Dana particularly excelled at listening to our visions and bringing them to life. During our trials (which we do recommend), we brought in pictures of hairstyles for inspiration, and Dana was able to easily recreate them knowing how exactly to work with our individual hair texture and style. Also, neither of us wear much makeup (I don’t wear any), and Dana was able to achieve the “natural” or “soft-glam” look very well, which was what we both wanted. We felt that most other makeup artists we looked at went too far even with the “soft-glam” style.
Dana was perhaps the most organized of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding. During each of our trials, she took incredibly detailed notes, brought them with her the day of our wedding, and followed them exactly. While it’s impossible to recreate your trial look 100% perfectly, what Dana did was closer than we ever expected. In addition, she helped us craft the perfect getting ready schedule for the morning of our wedding, and stuck to it, so we didn’t feel stressed or rushed and actually enjoyed the process! While we were a small “bridal party” and worked with only Dana herself, something Dana mentioned is that she never brings in other hair or makeup artists unless she trusts them and their work completely. That instilled confidence in us that her quality standard was really high, and her performance confirmed that. Her confidence made us confident!
Our hair and makeup looked almost perfect at the end of the day after an outdoor ceremony in the wind and 4 hours of running around and dancing. We were super impressed. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Dana for your wedding day. Make sure you follow her instructions on how to prep your face/hair and design the getting ready schedule for your wedding and you’ll have a great time!”
