Pure Beauty by Danielle, says it all in the name. Danielle and team make you feel like "pure beauty" while tailoring to all styles and personalities.

They not only make you feel beautiful, but they create an atmosphere that you want for your wedding day. Thank you dearly Pure Beauty by Danielle ladies. My wedding day started with pure happiness, getting ready with you and all my favorite ladies.

Heather and Monica did makeup and Caitlin did hair for my (VERY) early wedding in March. The team…read morehad to be there at 4:50 in the morning and they were all completely lovely about it! They were fun and professional, definitely made everyone feel at ease. I typically don't wear a lot of makeup and ever get my hair done, so it was truly so much fun to have these ladies taking care of us. We all felt like ourselves, just even more beautiful! They listened to what we wanted and we all had a great time! Heather is really amazing and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking. I got caught in a complete rain storm on my wedding day, hair definitely had to be redone but the makeup was absolutely perfect the whole day!

Genna was my makeup artist for my wedding back in August and she did a phenomenal job! I actually…read morebooked her because she was the makeup artist at one of my bridesmaid's weddings so I had firsthand experience from that time and loved her work. She can replicate pretty much any photo of hair or makeup you show her. When I booked her, I only needed to do a hair trial since it was a new style and I was already confident with her makeup skills. For my wedding, she came to my place and did all 4 girls by herself. Getting ready can take some time but Genna is so fun and easy to talk to that the time flew by. I ended up choosing a natural glam look and low pony with pearls that I loved. All my bridesmaids were super happy with their looks as well. I highly recommend her!

I booked Genna for my wedding in June and everything about working with Genna was absolutely…read moreamazing! She is very responsive and very good at what she does (which is making you and your girls look stunning)! First, she didn't have a minimum service to book. I had a small bridal party so that was an issue when I was searching for a HMUA. She worked with my wedding coordinator on the timeline, and on the day of, everything went smoothly as we were getting ready (which is so important.. no one wants to be stressed out on their wedding day). Genna was punctual and arrived right on time at 6AM. She had all her equipment on her and set-up quickly (I was quite impressed on how seamless and organized she was, she even brought her own light and chair for the make-up station). She did the hair for 2 of my bridesmaids, make-up for my mom and mother-in-law, and my hair and make-up. Each of showed her a picture of what we wanted/what we were aiming for and she able to re-create. Everyone looked so beautiful!! I didn't do a trial because I live in Boston, but Genna allotted extra time for this the day of the wedding. OMG Genna did such an amazing job on my hair and make-up!! I was so happy with how it turned out and what is even more amazing is that I looked just as good at the end of the night! My hair and make-up lasted through the thousands of tears and crazy dancing at night! Also, I had this huge hairpiece and 15 foot veil that she secured so well! I was afraid that hairpiece would fall out at some point because it is so heavy, but Genna stuck it in good! She also taught my MOH how to take off the veil after the ceremony. Thank you times a million Genna for making me the most beautiful bride!

I do not have enough kind things to say about Stacey…read more Her personality , skills and patience are top notch. When dealing with a bride leading up to, and the day of the wedding you have to be a saint, and boy is she ever. Stacey took her time to make sure myself, my bridesmaids and family members left the house feeling nothing short of gorgeous. I truly have never felt more beautiful and that is 100% owed to Stacey. From our original conversation, the makeup trial, to the day of the wedding, she was completely professional and probably one of my favorite vendors. I would absolutely recommend her to a friend (and already have) . Thank you Stacey ! I cannot wait to work with you again!

I was so appreciative to have someone who I felt comfortable with spend the morning of the wedding with me and my bridesmaids. She is so incredibly talented and did exactly what I was looking for. My updo and makeup was beautiful and stayed in place for the entire night! A few of my bridesmaids also got hair/makeup done by her and it looked amazing. I had a trial with Stacey about a month before the wedding, and what she did on the wedding day was exactly what we had talked about if not better than the trial. She also did lash extensions which were great to have for the honeymoon! The quality of her work is amazing and I would hire her again any time.

Joy did my makeup and it looked stunning, she took my everyday lip stain and elevated it into a glam bridal look. Bri did my hair and the volume held even with all the dancing we did throughout the night. From the trial I knew I had the dream team, they did everything I asked and were so friendly and kind. My bridesmaid, maid of honor and mom all looked amazing too! We kept making jokes that we were the hottest bridal party ever.

Working with Michelle for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made when planning for my…read morespecial day! She is so communicative, flexible, hilarious, and overall just a joy to work with. As someone who generally doesn't wear very much makeup, I expressed that I wanted to still look like "myself" on my wedding day. After seeing countless photos from other artists who all seem to be putting the same makeup on each bride, I was a little nervous going into our trial. She captured my vision so beautifully, highlighting my features in a way that allowed me to still feel like me (but the best version!!). She was thoughtful and communicative throughout, and asked for feedback on the end result of the trial for any adjustments prior to the actual wedding. One of my favorite things about the trial was that she took photos to capture exactly what she had done the first time around. This meant that on the day of, she was ready to rock and roll with exactly what we wanted. It sounds like a small detail but ladies I cannot tell you how many other thoughts are going through your mind on THE DAY, so it was amazing to be able to show up and let her do her thing, knowing it would turn out exactly as planned. My bridal party was also SO impressed by her, and I got several compliments and "where did you find her, she's amazing" texts on the days following the event. A couple of the girls asked her for a bit more glam than I did, and she worked her magic flawlessly for their visions as well. Trust me when I say I think she can do literally anything. Do yourself a favor, work with her and see for yourself!

I could go on and on about Michelle and Stephanie but they were the perfect team for my wedding day…read morehair and makeup! Scheduling the trial was a breeze and pricing was more than fair. Both ladies make you feel instantly comfortable and listened to what I wanted for my special day!! Day of, they arrived early, were professional, and their whole team was fun and got along great with my friends and family!! If you have a big bridal party or a family that was hard to corral (like mine was haha,) Michelle has done SO many weddings that she was able to keep everyone on track in a kind but firm manner. I wanted to look extremely natural and didn't want the makeup or hair to stand out too much. Both Michelle and Stephanie listened and delivered. They also handled the hair and makeup for my family and friends too. Everyone was beautiful!

I absolutely LOVED working with Dee! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding (as well as a few…read moreevents leading up to the big day) and I felt so beautiful all day. She does an incredible job with both hair and makeup and is super creative. We played around with different braids, up do's, long waves and more for my trial, engagement photos, bridal shower, rehearsal and my wedding day. She was able to do something different and equally stunning each time. She is so sweet and easy to spend time with, makes you laugh and feel so comfortable with the whole process and is flexible with trying something new and adding or changing things of your final look. She and a team member worked on me, my MOH and MOB for the wedding day and her other team members did my mother and sister in laws. Everyone looked gorgeous all day and night and our makeup and hair lasted so well. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to get done up for their wedding or any celebration.

Don't hesitate in hiring this duo! They are incredible!

I am currently fighting a disputed review with this company that I hired for my wedding. Please…read moreknow that vendors can dispute real reviews on the wedding wire and the knot. Not only do they want full signed contracts from both sides but also a proof of payment in order to dispute the disputed review. I was able to provide the original and signed contract that I found from 6 years ago, but that was not good enough so they still took my review down. I hired them for my hair and makeup for my self and several of my bridesmaids, as well as a few of my family members. On my trial, I was blown away with how my hair and makeup was done and it was soo beautiful! The women were so friendly and relatable and I really enjoyed them! Come the day of my wedding, I really thought they would either have more workers with them or do a better job, either or would have been fine. There were only 2 girls for what seemed like hair and makeup for 6-9 people including myself. Due to this reason, we had to schedule each girl for their session and could not all hang out together the day of the wedding. That was not too bad, I was just a little annoyed. The real issue here is that they did all of our hair and makeup and our hair curls fell out within 30-40 min of getting our hair done. They even tried to redo a few of the girl's hair a several times and it would fall immediately. The makeup look they did on my trial was not the same makeup they did on my wedding day. My eyelashes were glued on top of my eyelids and my eyeliner made it look like I had very small eyes that would not open. My eyelashes were so bad that it looks like I had one lazy eye the entire day and this ruined ALLLLL of my wedding photos. I to this day refuse to print or look at any of the photos because it makes me so sad how bad it looks. I am posting this hoping someone else doesnt waste over $1k to do the same or lower quality job that you or I could do at a wedding. If i wanted my eyelashes glued ontop of my eyelids and have a lazy eye I would have just done my own makeup...
