    Makeup by Desiree
    Lauren J.

    If you need your makeup done right, make sure to book Desiree! I found her through yelp and booked a test makeup for my sister and I in preparation for my moms wedding. Not only does she listen to your needs and desired outcome for the look, but she's a sweetheart to match! She gave us the exact looks we were going for with the inspo photos and I felt very comfortable knowing she would do our makeup for my mom's special day. Fast forward to the wedding and she did not disappoint. I felt confident and flawless to serve my maid of honor duties knowing that my face was beat to the gods! My makeup stayed on through a night of singing, eating and dancing my heart out.

    I was in Southern Cal for a wedding on Memorial Day Weekend and couldn't find any makeup artists. Everyone was booked. I accidentally found Desiree on Yelp and she happened to have a last minute cancellation and I took it! I was nervous bc of not knowing her, but boy what a find. I absolutely loved my makeup, it was exactly what I wanted. She's the real deal. Super sweet and professional as well.

    Desiree did a flawless job on my make up. She's professional, punctual and dedicated. She gets photos of how you want your make up done in advance so she's prepared the day she does your make up to do it the way you want. I would highly recommend her for any event, but she made my wedding day very special.

    Desiree, I want to thank you for being apart of our wedding day. Thank you for all of your hard work and patience you had while things were getting hectic and crazy. But you handled everything so well. I wish I could seen you before you left to thank you but I'm so appreciative of all your hard work and dedication to perfect our makeup. Thank you again. I wish you the best in health, wealth, and life full of love I hope to meet you again one day. I love u

    I reached out to Desiree in early December to have my makeup done for a wedding I was attending that happened to land on New Years Eve. I wanted my makeup to last all day & night since the wedding started at 2pm & was going to end after midnight for the new year. Desiree was amazing through the whole process. We first chatted over IG, telling her what I wanted my makeup to look like & how I normally had it on a day to day basis & so forth. The day of, she was so friendly & sweet & so easy to talk with & really made me feel comfortable. She communicated well with me until she knew exactly how I wanted my look to be. Once she finished & showed me, I was in love with it, because for me, it wasn't to dramatic but it wasn't to simple, it was perfect for me & what I wanted. The look lasted all night! I of course had to touch up on lip stick & lip gloss, but that's normal, but as far as eye makeup & my face & contour, it stuck all night. I am so happy I came across Desiree through Yelp & I already told her that if I ever need my makeup done again in the future for an event, she's my girl.

    Very professional, friendly and humble person. Desiree definitely born with the skill to giving touch on makeup. Anything you want to do she make it as you like. Definitely she have the vision just to see you. She did my makeup more than I was expecting. Super happy with the treat, friendly and professionalism how she work. Excellent quality makeup. In love with my makeup!!

    I was absolutely pleased with my makeup. It was a gorgeous bridal shower face. Desiree was able to accentuate my features without making me feel over done. Highly recommend her!

    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!

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!

    Roya did my hair for my wedding earlier this year. My hair looked great for most of the day, and…read moreshe is clearly very talented. However, there were some downsides to the overall experience, especially given the premium price and the fact that I booked her for two looks and all-day touch-ups. Roya arrived to my bridal suite wearing a "MIGA" ("Make Iran Great Again") hat, a slogan modeled after Trump's MAGA movement and associated with political rhetoric about Iran. Regardless of personal beliefs or current events, wearing anything political as a wedding vendor is very unprofessional, especially when there is a chance of you being in bridal suite photos. Thankfully, my mom and maid of honor asked her to remove it before we headed to the venue because i didn't want my guests to misinterpret her hat, but the situation stressed me out on what was supposed to be a peaceful and relaxing morning . And the hat appeared in my wedding photos/video and I had to ask my videographer and photographer to make edits. She also ran about 30 minutes late to my trial and arrived 40 minutes late on my wedding day past my requested start time. I anticipated that she might be late based on reviews and prior experience and adjusted my timeline accordingly, but that is not something a bride should ever have to plan for, especially at this premium price point. Lastly, she left right as my reception began, despite me paying for touch-ups throughout the wedding. At the time I was fine with it, but by the time I cut my cake and after dancing, my bangs looked sweaty and no longer appeared polished. I am not sure if this is typical, but I wanted to share my experience.

    I had a very similar experience like the previous person whom gave a review with these stylists…read moredid. (On Google) I'm not too sure which one was the incredibly rude one that I had the unfortunate texting encounter with. Both of them ended up replying and I was told to never contact the salon again by the supposed "other" stylist. I am incredibly thankful that I was able to see who they truly are and how rudely they treat perfectly good and loyal clientele that are only inquiring of their services. (She thinks a bit too highly of herself in my opinion). And men, don't even bother, she said she stopped taking men's cuts because she's just sooooo in demand!! I texted her the day before close to 5:00 pm. I wasn't expecting a call or text back till the next day. (Which was fine). She instead texted me 10:30 that night. Which I thought a little odd and unprofessional. (That's a bit late to be getting back to clients and to text them). What if I just fell asleep and she woke me up? Not a good way to start off, right? So, I did text her back and asked a question... She never responded till I texted her the next day around 10:30-11ish and said, "Guess you don't want my business then". (I don't have the text message screenshot because I had written her off and deleted the conversation). She didn't reply right away, it was around noon when she defensively and unprofessionally responded. As you can see from the screenshots below, how the rest of the conversation went. If you'd like to be talked to like this by these women, then by all means, please reach out to them! If you'd rather be treated respectfully as a human being, don't even bother with them. And yes, I do realize that I said I wasn't going to go online and give a review. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that I'd let these text messages speak for themselves and let others at least see what they can avoid and not have to go through. Because if she's done it to 2 others recently, I guarantee you, I'm not the last... 1 Timothy 5:20 ESV--"As for those who persist in sin, rebuke them in the presence of all, so that the rest may stand in fear."

I am so glad I booked with Daniele. The salon is quaint, nicely decorated and clean. I felt the prices for the services offered were very reasonable. Daniele's experience shows in her work. I had brought in a hair picture and she was able to capture the vision beautifully. As for the makeup we had chatted while doing my hair and after hearing about all of her experience I trusted her eye and said "surprise me". I absolutely loved my makeup. She did a perfect job of color choices and application. I felt beautiful. I received so many complements on my look at the wedding. It felt great. The best part was my hair and makeup stayed the entire event. It was a nice experience working with Daniele and if I ever need special occasion hair and makeup in the area again, I would come back in a second. I have already told some local girlfriends about her talents.

    My review is long overdue, but I need to express my experience with Diana. To give you the rundown,…read moreDiana is professional, knowledgeable, a pleasure to talk to, and an absolute master at her craft. I came to Diana with healthy, jet black, henna dyed hair and was looking to get a color correction. I usually, would DIY lighten my own hair due to my trust issues from a history of my hair being botched by "professionals" at other salons, but there is a lot of risk when bleaching hair that has been previously dyed with henna, so I was not going to take the risk in doing it myself. I was hoping for her to take my jet black hair to somewhere in the blonde range. Diana explained the process thoroughly and told me that it would be just that... a process. Removing henna from the hair can be very risky and results vary, but she reassured me that I would leave her salon looking presentable as though my hair was not going through a transition. She was very attentive to me and my hair as she lightened it. I left her salon with gorgeous hair and lighter results after each appointment. I believe I had 3 appointments total with Diana and the final result was stunning!!!! She did not give me the average, solid haircolor that so many other professionals would. She had lifted my hair to a beautiful ashy blonde with subtle highlights. She gave me a haircolor that looked like I could have been born with it! She got me as light as possible without compromising the integrity of my hair. I didn't see or feel one bit of damage! A true 10 out of 10 experience. Diana is nothing short of amazing!!
