I am so happy I hired Design Visage to do my hair and makeup for my wedding. My lead artist was Kim and she was amazing! I first went in for a hair and makeup preview and gave her a few examples of what I wanted and she nailed it! The day of my wedding Kim and the other DV team members arrived early and set up quickly so we could get started on time. All the ladies were so much fun to work with and made it a great start to my wedding day. All my bridesmaids and my mom were very happy with with their hair and makeup. They kept their natural look while still looking like they were wearing makeup. Some of my girls did not have any examples of what they wanted for their hair and let the artists' creativity shine. The hair styles they did were amazing and lasted all night long. I highly recommend Design Visage for hair and makeup services. They are professional, fun, and really listen to what you are wanting for your big day. read more

See all

I can't believe the transformation I went through on the day of my wedding on 11/15/14. Neither could my friends and family! I felt absolutely beautiful thanks to the work by Dana and Emmalee. A little personal information: I am a Filipino bride. And by their work, they can work with all face types for sure! Things started off wonderfully when I initially contacted the office by phone. Ashley was so friendly, and followed up further communications promptly via email, which is so convenient during the work day. They are listed as having their main location in Costa Mesa, but if you are having a wedding in the Los Angeles Area, there is a satellite office in Manhattan Beach to do makeup previews, specifically with Dana, who was my makeup artist. Dana is incredibly personable and made me feel at ease, as a person who normally does not wear makeup. The makeup preview was only a few days before the wedding, and she came up with an incredible look, which matched almost exactly with the pictures that I brought to the appointment. She will not just try to copy a look, however. She adds little things that tell of her experience in the field, and this made me very comfortable for the preview and on the wedding day itself. When I got anxious about trying to "tone down" the look, she gave me her real opinion, and what we went with was perfect. I personally had 6 hair and makeup services (bride, 3 bridesmaids, 2 mothers) on the day of. Here is something key: you can wash your hair in the morning! Dana actually prefers clean hair to work on, as long as it is dry. All of the ladies looked absolutely stunning! I especially loved how beautiful my bridesmaids looked. Dana and Emmalee started at 9:30 am, and finished by 12:30pm with a spot on estimate. I got to the church with time to spare. They can set up anywhere, as evidenced by their setup in a small hotel room. They are so efficient and are very fun to talk to and be around. My family and friends had a great time in the chair with each of them. I even got a touch up lipstick with their proprietary brand for the rest of the day. Some payment details. Design Visage can be a bit pricey. I think it is totally worth it. You can ask via email the pricing schedule, but here is a rough summary. Preview (mandatory/deposit): $150 Bride hair and makeup: $325 Bridesmaids/Moms hair and makeup: $150 each They take check via mail or credit card over the phone. I even had a last minute add on with one of the Mom's, and it was efficiently handled without trouble. I wish Dana could make me beautiful everyday! I'm not that rich though, and was glad she could make me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. read more

Working with Design Visage was a dream from start to finish! All of the stylists were top notch, quick, organized and easy to communicate with and relate to! All 10 bridesmaids, 2 moms and me LOVED both our hair and makeup and it turned out just like the photos we used as references. The entire team was fun, personable and kept the wedding day vibe light, happy and carefree! You will not be disappointed with Design Visage! read more

I loved working with Ella of Design Visage on my hair & make-up for my wedding! She did the hair & make-up styles I wanted exactly. She is so talented & also has great beauty advice! All of my bridesmaids & Mom also loved her work. She's very talented, along with the rest of the Design Visage team. Thanks Ella! I also enjoyed our conversations while you worked on making me look so beautiful :) Katie Surf & Sand 7.19.14 read more

Design Visage - Makeup Artists Near Me

Celina did hair and makeup for my wedding. She was so professional- on time, patient with family members, open to feedback, and made us all look beautiful! I had two separate previews with her after changing my mind a month before the wedding on my "look." We just loved her! read more

Wow, I honestly can't say enough good things about this company. As a Middle Eastern bride, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to achieve the look that I wanted through non-Middle Eastern artists, but this place had me sold after my preview. Referred by my wedding planner, I did my preview with Lauren, and she was very patient with what I wanted. Lauren took over 3 hours to perfect what I wanted for my day, and even made suggestions that I hadn't thought of with the pictures I brought. On the day of my wedding, my hair looked even better (if that's possible) than it did on the day of my preview! My makeup stayed perfectly the entire day, and Lauren was able to pull together my 'second look" in a record time of 20 minutes for the evening reception. They are extremely schedule-oriented, and all 20 services for me and my bridesmaids ran smoothly on the day of my wedding. This is a professional company that you won't have to worry about for anything, and their rates are extremely competitive for the amount of professionalism and talent you receive! Lauren made such a lasting impression on me that I continue to see her for color and cut services -- and will continue to use her in the future for any special event needs. I highly recommend Design Visage. The owner is very pleasant to work with, and Lauren is an absolute gem. You will not be disappointed, and you will certainly feel and look beautiful on your big day :) I did. read more

Even before I got engaged, I knew long before that I wanted Lauren/Design Visage for my wedding hair and makeup. Three year before (my wedding), Lauren did my hair and makeup as a bridesmaid for my friend's wedding. I received numerous compliments for my hair and makeup that I knew instantly that I wanted to have her do my wedding too. Lauren and the other stylist, Ella, both arrived to my house early at 5am to do hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. All of my girls looked beautiful and they were able to cater to their requests. Of course, Lauren, was my stylist, and at no surprise she made me look flawless and beautiful. Even with a long 18 hour day, our hair and makeup looked and held up nicely throughout the day. The only negative/con was they changed extra $$ for my touch-up make up kit (lipstick, gloss, and lip-liner). Considering the significant higher price the bride pays for her own makeup/hair (double the bridesmaids' cost) plus all their competitors offer it as part of their package. For the most part, I would highly recommended Lauren and Design Visage to all brides-to-be. read more

Design Visage is by far the best place to go if you are looking for hair and makeup services! I had Tiffany do my hair and makeup and I was BEYOUND happy with how I looked on my wedding day! I felt so beautiful and loved how my pictures came out! Design Visage is quick to respond, they have an adorable studio for makeup and hair trials, and they are very professional. All their staff are so talented in the beauty industry. You won't go wrong if you book Design Visage! And this is coming from someone who is VERY picky with makeup as I spend at least an hour every morning doing my own. read more

Design Visage - Design Visage Makeup Artist - Tiffany - Makeup Artists Near Me

Emily from Design Visage was a true delight. She did such an amazing job with my hair and makeup the day of my wedding along with my sister's who were my bridesmaids. She made us all look stunning, we were all so pleased with our results. I would recommend her to anyone getting their hair and makeup done for any special occasion. Thank you Emily! read more

WOW!! ELLA is all I can say. First of all, what a sweetheart & Second, she kept us on time. We were walking down the aisle 1 minute before it was time. Now about the makeup.. I am a natural gal and do not like tons of make up. I think it takes away from the natural beauty that every woman / man has in them. Ella and I spoke for a while about my make up and hair to pinpoint exactly what it was I was looking for. She nailed it by using the typed of make up that I use daily, but put a pop to it to make it stand out in pictures. I really loved her a lot and look forward to using her again for future events that come up! read more

I had the best experience with Design Visage! They were on top of my every need and request and very accommodating as I did two hair/makeup trials before the wedding day. Tiffany was my bridal hair and makeup artist and I could not say enough good things about her. We had 17 girls getting both hair and makeup services on the day of the wedding and they were so on time and efficient and everyone looked gorgeous!! We finished earlier than expected for pictures and everyone was happy with their look. All the artists were so sweet and down to earth, I wanted to invite them to the wedding! I highly recommend using design visage for your wedding day or any event. read more

The Design Visage Team is simply phenomenal. My daughter's wedding was Saturday, and the DV team descended on our home right on time at 7:45 a.m., and transformed THIRTEEN beautiful young women into stunning, modelesque bridesmaids. Yes, thirteen is a large number (plus the MOB) but these professionals completed hair/makeup for our big day on time and with remarkable calmness and grace. Love DV!!! read more

My make up artist was there early which is a good start. In the beignning, she do pretty good job, talk funny, but toward to the end she kind of feel impatient. Probably I was dislike my look, so wanted to discuss with my bridal party,see how to adjust it. I believe all brides want to be look perfect in their own wedding. However, she start to lose patient, and yell " I have to leave by 3, i have another appointment" and rushed to leave at 3. We feel very disappointed and upset it was ended like this. read more

I'll start off by saying that the customer service is great here. They TRY to make clients happy. They're friendly and were on time and finished in time for me and members of my bridal party at the hotel on my wedding day...but the good STOPS there. The talent is simply not there. I and the others who had hair/makeup services that day were not happy at all. I (the bride) looked horrible. My hair was laughably bad and nothing like what I had asked for. I wanted a simple hair style that should have been very easy to do, but after showing many Pinterest photos and talking/describing what I wanted, plus TWO different hair and makeup trials, my hair and ESPECIALLY my makeup was some of the worst I have ever had done, either by myself or anyone else. The way my eyes turned out made them look smaller than they actually are. The idea is to accentuate the eyes and to make them look full and bright. I looked nothing like myself, and it did not look good on top of it. Even some of my close friends and family ADMITTED that I did not even look as good as I usually do! I looked like a fake, flat-faced mannequin doll with unflattering colors! The makeup look did not even last the entire night, despite getting the airbrush. My eyeshadow had faded off to almost looking like I had none on, as had any blush or contouring on my skin. My lipliner did not last an hour (despite not eating or drinking anything), and the cheap little lipgloss they gave me for touch-ups was a different color than the original and very cheap. After PAYING $500.00 for a trial and a day-of hair and makeup, I definitely expected MUCH better. read more

Design Visage is the most professional business I have ever seen in my life. I had my wedding last Saturday and I can't tell how happy I was with my hair and makeup.It was absolutely stunning that I was going to cry of seeing my own face. I had 5 brides made and they were all amazed by their job. I'm so glad to have you guys for my most important day of my life. read more

I am so happy with the way my wedding day look turned out, as well as with that of the rest of my bridal party. Two of my friends worked with Lauren for their weddings and I really liked their looks. Working with Lauren and Mylene on the day of was relaxing and so much fun, and made me forget about any wedding day jitters. The team arrived half-an-hour early to set up the hair and make up stations. Within the given time period, they whipped us all up into wedding shape. I had my trial with Lauren a couple of months before the wedding. She worked with me to get my hair and make up exactly the way I wanted. I had a general idea of what I wanted, but not an exact picture. Lauren was able to come up with a style that I loved. Because it was done at the DV salon, I was able to try a variety of hair pieces and jewels for my hair also. DV's rent-a-veil service was also really great - I was able to rent a veil for free, and there were a variety of veils at various lengths and styles. I just shipped it back after the wedding. I paid for another trial with a very reputable make-up service, but ended up going with DV because Lauren's hair and make-up work was far superior. If you want to work with Lauren, make sure to book your trial ASAP - my wedding was in January, and there was someone else inquiring about Lauren for my same wedding date 4 months before the wedding! read more

This 5 star review is long overdue! Design Visage was a great experience from start to finish. I found them through a bridal vendor list provided by the Surf and Sand. I was married on 6/20/15. About a month before, I had a trial hair and makeup appointment with Laura C. The shop is in an unassuming business complex, but when you step inside, it's really nice. The day of the wedding, Laura came out to the venue. The entire experience went so smoothly. Honestly, Laura is the best! She worked her magic. I liked her so much that I have continued to go to her for my hair cuts now! I have found my new stylist and will be using her for all my important events in the future!! It seems like every artist employed at DS is very skilled and do both hair and makeup. read more

Design Visage - I wish this pic was in color! Hair and makeup were beautiful by Laura C - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was referred to Design Visage by my wedding planner and they were the absolute best! I can't imagine having anyone else do my makeup/hair on my wedding day. The preview was great: I met the stylist that would be working with me, we tried 3 different hairstyles, and I felt super comfortable going into the wedding day. The day of the wedding, my stylist was perfectly on time and such a joy to be around. She put me at ease on the big day! My mother and sister loved their hairstyles/makeup as well. Design Visage are pros! read more

I had a really great experience with the girls at Design Visage. They showed up early, they were fantastic with my bridal party, I mean my bridesmaids looked GORGEOUS!

Design Visage - The beautiful bride & myself. Thank you Ella! - Makeup Artists Near Me

First of all, lemme start by saying that the whole Design Visage team is beyond amazing! I found them through wedding wire and their wonderful reviews is what made me call and schedule a trial. Sarah worked with the look i wanted, listened to all my comments and she made me love it! On the wedding day, Sarah and Reta were very professional and got there on time. They were fast and very thorough! My girls and i (total 9) were ready on time and looked very beautiful. They also didn't mind staying a little longer for final touch ups! I loved dealing with Meghan as well, her customer service (and of course the whole team) was top notch :) read more

Had a wonderful experience hiring Design Visage for our beauty services for our wedding this past weekend! Throughout the process they were very communicative, responded promptly to my questions, and updated our head count/services seamlessly. I had a wonderful experience at my trial several months before the big day. The stylists were very kind, professional and accommodating to my beauty inspiration. On the big day they were all very professional, well equipped and very timely with the amount of ladies that were in our bridal party that day. The stylists were able to re-create the beauty inspiration flawlessly for all of my bridesmaids, they all looked so beautiful! I 1000% recommend Design Visage for your beauty needs for your big day. You will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent, excellent, excellent! Caren and her team do excellent work in addition to giving great personalized service. Their bridal accessories are also amazing...and everything is reasonably priced. I recommend Design Visage without hesitation! read more

Caren and the staff at Design Visage are awesome! I have worked with Caren on countless weddings in both Orange County and LA, and without fail, she has over delivered! I cannot say enough good things about them! read more

My experience with Tiffany was so wonderful from being to end. I found DV from multiple friends who had recently been married, and my experience totally lived up to expectations. My artist, Tiffany, made me feel very comfortable during the hair/makeup trial and even more so on the actual day. I loved how everything turned out and she really listened to what I was asking for. Thank you so much!!! read more

I cannot thank Laura C and her team enough for making me and my girls look STUNNING on my big day! Laura listened to all my requests, fears, and suggestions at my preview. So when it came to wedding day, she knew exactly how I wanted to look. We even changed my hair look the day of my wedding and I am so happy it turned out amazing! My husband immediately commented on my makeup and was so pleased that I still looked like myself (he's seen me look like a different creature before). I had such bad past experiences with hair and makeup artists, that I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to find someone for my wedding day. I now have my complete trust in Laura C and Design Visage for all of my future glam needs. read more

Design visage did my wedding hair and makeup for me and my six bridesmaids and they were prompt, professional, friendly, and made us all look beautiful!! Rachel and Nadia were the two we had do our services and they were both excellent. Highly recommend!! read more

I was lucky enough to have Rachel come and do my hair and makeup for my special day. She was FANTASTIC! Very talented and knew what she was doing. She did my mom's hair and my mother in laws makeup, they were both in awe of how great she was!!! I cannot recommend her or Design Visage enough. They were both very professional and helped make my special day amazing! read more

The artists I worked with for my engagement shoot and rehearsal dinner were amazing and Laura, who was the lead artist on my wedding day was especially talented with both hair styling and makeup. She nailed both the updo and makeup style I was looking for on her first attempt at my trial appointment and somehow did an even better job on my wedding day! She is truly gifted! I have never in my life felt more beautiful thanks to her. Meghan and the front desk staff are also so nice, always very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Design Visage! read more

I recently used DV's hair services for myself, bridesmaids, and flower girls. I have to say, they are the best in the industry! Meghan was prompt and professional when returning my calls and answering all of my questions. I did my hair trial with Sarah, and she made me feel so relaxed and happy the whole time. She made my hair even more beautiful than the picture I showed her. Did I mention their salon is amazingly cute? On the day of the wedding, Sarah and Missy showed up right on time and ready to work. Sarah replicated my hair exactly as during the hair trial, and Missy did a great job on my bridesmaids as well. I got SO many compliments on my hair! Other brides-to-be came up and asked who styled my hair. They wanted the exact same hair style for their wedding too! I highly recommend DV! read more

Everything was great from the start. Inquiry, communication, and follow ups with Megan were timely and she was very sweet. I had Laura for my engagement shoot and Sarah for my wedding. Both are wonderful! They listen to what you really want and not do what they think looks good. Sarah emphasized that you should look YOUR BEST SELF on your wedding day and that's exactly how I felt. My makeup looked natural, flawless in photos, and stayed on all day and night long! My bridesmaids and mothers also looked amazing thanks to the DV team. Although they are probably on the higher price range, you get what you pay for and these ladies really made my experience memorable. read more

My wedding was on 7/20/2013 and Ella from Design Visage had done my mom and my makeup and hair. We both looked incredible for my wedding day. The value was great and the artist/stylist came to my hotel to help my mom and I get ready. Summer (owner of design visage) was easy to work with and even answered my emails during non-business hours. Working with Design Visage was easy, but most of all I loved the way I looked for my wedding and I REALLY LOVED Ella, my makeup/hair stylist. Ella came exactly on time, just as planed. I ended up having a lot of anxiety the day of my wedding and Ella really helped not just makeup-wise but she helped me through my anxiety and was so sweet! I couldn't image things going better, after all the anxiety I had gone through. I would recommend Design Visage for weddings or any event to friends or family. I would HIGHLY recommend Design Visage. read more

Design Visage is the best! They styled my daughter, myself, and wedding party on Saturday (6/26/21). They accommodated each request that everyone had. Hair and makeup was perfect! This is definitely the team to go to! read more

I got married on 10/8/16 in Laguna Beach. Genna was my primary stylist. I unfortunately forgot the name of her assistant stylist. They were professional, pleasant and most importantly amazing at what they did! In addition to my bridal hair and makeup, 6 other women had services done. Genna and her team are so very talented and have great insight into what works for you. I felt like a princess. I highly recommend Genna and Design Visage for your wedding or any special occasion! read more

Sydney was my hair and makeup stylist for my big day. She arrived on time (since it was a Friday, she made sure she buffered in extra time to get to our venue, the Monarch Beach Resort, formerly the St. Regis), and worked on my mom, sister, and one of my bridesmaids in my suite. She did a wonderful job making them look beautiful. I love that she likes natural beauty, so she will do different things for each person. She made everybody feel comfortable enough to give her feedback and maybe have something modified. She took my feedback from the preview session seriously, and made sure that I was happy with the way I looked on my wedding day. She finished on time, and styled my husband's hair, too (which looked great). Thanks for making us look the way we want to on our wedding day! read more

This review is long over due! I was married on Dec 5. I used Design Visage for my makeup and hair the day of my wedding. I am in the wedding business and see girls every week that DV does and they look stunning!I knew right away I wanted them! Lauren did my preview with me, and was so patient. Took pictures and made the whole exsperience so much fun. Lauren showed up at my hotel at the exact time that was promised. I was so happy with the way I looked the day of my wedding. I felt like a movie star. I have referred this company to many of my brides and everyone has thanked me. They have an amazing team of designers. I have to say to Tina S. When you are planning a wedding and book a date. Most, if not all deposits are non refundable. They secure that date for "you" and your event. This is to protect you and them from lost revenue. I'm saying this because Design Visage is one of the most sought after hair and makeup companies out in the wedding industry. They offered you $150.00 in services and you snubbed your nose at it! After such a great experience with them, It makes me sad to see someone so unwilling to work with someone, that is trying to make things right for you both. They did not need to offer you anything .Maybe reading the contract before you sign would be a good practice. As for me.... My whole day was a dream come true. Thank you so much! Lynne read more

It was truly so much FUN and a joy to work with Design Visage!! My bridal hair and makeup preview was great. I had the joy of working with Genna. She was a great listener and did a WONDERFUL job of still making me look like myself but just a more GLAMOROUS version. She gave me the opportunity to try multiple hair styles and makeup looks. Then on my wedding day Genna and the other stylist showed up 10 minutes early to setup and get ready to do hair and makeup for myself, 5 bridesmaids, and mother. They listened to what each bridesmaid wanted and they all looked FABULOUS!! Everyone from DV was so professional throughout the wedding process. I would highly recommend them to any bride! read more

Design Visage - Genna did a great job!! - Makeup Artists Near Me

I have to start off by saying I absolutely love them!! They did my makeup and hair plus 8 more girls in my wedding party! They were professional and arrived on time; they were always quick to respond to my emails too!! I probably emailed them about 20 times and Meghan always responded in a quick and friendly manner. I loved my hair and makeup and it lasted all day and into the night. My girls loved their hair and makeup as well! At first some of my girls were hesitant because some have Super Super super curly hair but the DV artist knew exactly what to do! I couldn't have found a better place to have my makeup and hair done!!! I would highly recommend them! read more

Fantastic service! I had a wonderful experience working with Jackie and her team.
