    Amazing Hair & Makeup Artist

    Daniela was such a wonderful person to work with on our special day! She was very punctual and very professional in her work. She listened to all of our needs in regard to hair & makeup, and she made our vision come to life. Not only is Daniela very talented, she is extremely quick with her work! Our hair & makeup held up the entire day & night, even through the extreme heat that we experienced during the day. We will definitely use her again for future events and we highly recommend!!

    Great experience

    I had Daniela from Danymakeup & hair do my makeup for my wedding in New York City and she was incredible. From our first conversation, she responded quickly and was so organized, she really knew exactly what she was doing. On the day of, she made the whole getting-ready experience feel easy and relaxed with her warm and fun energy. The makeup was absolutely beautiful and lasted all day while still looking like the real me. She took so much stress off my shoulders and helped make everything run perfectly. I would absolutely recommend Daniela to any bride looking for someone who is experienced, professional, and uses high quality products.

    I have been using Dany for my hair and makeup for special occasions for the past four years, and she is simply the best! She is always punctual, professional, friendly, and incredibly talented. She listens to exactly what I want and always goes the extra mile to make everything perfect. She did an absolutely fabulous job with my hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding. I received so many compliments, and a few people actually didn’t recognize me because I looked so youthful and exquisite! I highly recommend Dany for any special occasion. Her work is truly exceptional, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my hair and makeup. She is an amazing artist and a wonderful person!

    I had an amazing experience! She did both my makeup, and hair, and we couldn’t have been happier with the results. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made me feel beautiful while keeping everything looking natural and elegant. She was professional, punctual, and made the entire experience fun and stress-free. Our makeup lasted all night, and our hair stayed perfect from start to finish. We received so many compliments! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented makeup and hair artist. Thank you for making our night even more memorable! Incredible is all I can say. She came nice and early, made sure to respond to my questions in a timely manner and listened to my feedback on my hair and makeup. She’s an incredible hairstylist and artist and gives an even better price. My prom was incredible because of her and so many complimented my makeup and hair! My makeup did not run, did not melt even after sweating and partying all night. My hair barely budged even after all the head rocking that I did. 10/10 would recommend and book again!
