I didn't know Makiaj Beauty existed until I met Nadia V. I needed a business glam session for my photoshoot, these photos were going to be used for my marketing material & website. She nailed my makeup, I told her I didn't want to wash my face for the next few days because aus I was so obsessed with the look. Nadia has such a sweet & kind presence, she made me feel very comfortable during our session. She took the time to understand what look I wanted for my photo session. I highly recommend. read more

Makiaj Beauty - Makeup Artists Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I booked with Makiaj for my wedding because I have tan skin, and their social media proved that they work with tan/darker skin tones very often. I had my wedding trial in January, which I liked very much. I had a question for my artist whom I texted a week before my wedding (end of March) to ask, only to find out that she no longer worked for the company and left mid-February. Neither my planner or I were informed of this, or were re-booked a trial with a new artist, which I found completely unacceptable. After calling this out, Makiaj booked me a re-trial on the Thursday before my wedding. This caused me a TON of stress on my wedding week, which could have been easily avoided. Trials are meant to be used to make changes, which if this was done on my wedding day, would have caused delays in the wedding day schedule. My new artist said she had my on her schedule mid-February, but Makiaj just didn't schedule a re-trial for me. I am still giving Makiaj 2 stars because their master artists (the artists for the brides) are extremely talented. Shout out to Jada, who's foundation and skin work is AMAZING! read more

I chose to work with Makiaj for my April 2024 wedding after getting a non-bridal service done at their studio in March of 2023. My experience from start to end was nothing short of amazing! I got hair and makeup done in 2023 for my engagement shoot and I loved the outcome. For my wedding I was paired with Isa and she did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. She listened to what I wanted and was able to pivot to a different style after my trial and I decided I wanted a completely different look. Makiaj has various different packages for all size bridal parties and they are so easy to work with! Highly recommend working with them for your wedding! Can't wait to be back again to treat myself to hair and makeup. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Makiaj Beauty!! I am so happy I chose them for my hair & makeup for my wedding! Diana did such an amazing job and is literally the sweetest! She was such a joy to work with! She did my bridal trial, bridal shower and wedding day hair and makeup! She made me feel like the most beautiful bride, truly made my dreams come true! Makiaj Beauty made the entire process so seamless and were so easy to work with! Amazing customer service! Cannot recommend them enough! read more

I've used Makiaj's services several times with two different artists! Michaela was an absolute gem to work with! The 1st time I met her was for a bridal photoshoot. She did my hair (Hollywood waves) & my makeup and also my mother's hair. I wasn't able to officially tie the knot that day, so I know in the future I will ask to book with Michaela again whenever we go to the courthouse and/or elope! She gave my mother and me such wonderful memories. It meant a lot to my mom (and me) to see us in bridal glam before my body changed due to my breast cancer surgery. I will cherish that day forever. Also, because Michaela took such good care of me, I've asked her to do my makeup two more times (once for a fashion show and once as a treat to myself). She knows how to capture what I'm looking for and knows how to make me feel beautiful! As for Danielle, she brought my vision to life. It was the first time I was going to an event after my double mastectomy, and I was a little nervous and to be honest, didn't feel as confident. Danielle changed that for me. We took inspiration from Euphoria's makeup looks, and transformed me into a fierce woman. Danielle was funny and easy to talk to. I loved working with her so much that I asked her to do my makeup for another fashion show. She definitely delivered!! I felt so glamorous. I can write a whole novel about Makiaj, I swear. So trust me when I say, book an appointment with anyone on their team. All of your worries will fade away! read more

I found Makiaj Beauty while searching for vendors on Instagram and was floored by their hair and makeup transformations. Within minutes of filling out the interest form on their website, I received a phone call from Jazlyn and Vanessa asking about my wedding and engagement. Planning a destination wedding, I really had to trust my vendors and the ladies of Makiaj Beauty were wonderful to work with!! Vanessa is truly an artist and made me feel like so much more than just another client. During my trial, Vanessa was fantastic - she listened to what I wanted and made personalized suggestions based on her many years in the industry. Her confidence throughout the entire process was what sold me - I trusted that she could bring my dream glam to life and she did!! I felt so beautiful and confident on my wedding day and I cannot thank Vanessa and the Makiaj Beauty team enough. If you want to look and feel like a star on your wedding day, BOOK THEM RIGHT NOW!! After taking photos all day in the Arizona sun, crying at the wedding and dancing my booty off all night - I still looked flawless. Booking Makiaj Beauty is the best decision you will make for your big day!! read more

I used Makiaj for my wedding and rehearsal makeup and they were amazing. Isa was my stylist and was great. I was extremely picky and had several trials to perfect what I was looking for, but they were extremely accommodating and understanding, and worked with me the entire time. At the end of the day it was everything I wanted. I would highly recommend them. read more

I booked Makiaj Beauty for my wedding and it was the best decision I could have made. Isa was my master artist and not only is she extremely talented, she is also very sweet and was a great hype girl for my wedding day! Her second, Monica, was also fabulous and they made an incredible team. All of my bridesmaids and my mom loved their hair and makeup, and they looked stunning. I highly recommend using this fantastic team for your bridal hair and makeup services, and will definitely be using them in the future for any events to have my makeup and hair done. Thank you to, Isa, for making me feeling so beautiful on my wedding day! It meant so much to me and I can't wait for you to make so many more brides feel so special! read more

Monika is an absolute treasure! We all adored her. She was fun, upbeat, happy, helpful, accommodating. It honestly felt like we were getting our makeup done with a friend. And the best part is... we all LOVED our looks! Many of us said "this is the best we will probably ever look in our lives." LOL! It was the best day ever!!! read more

Diana was my make up artist. She is super nice, professional, and open to any ideas. If I want to do makeup again, definitely, I will definitely choose Makiaj. read more

I've been seeing Danielle for quite some time; I can't say enough to describe how truly amazing she is! She is one of a kind artist! I love her energy and her beautiful spirit, always! She is so talented at what she does...always patient with me, listening to me and executing the best looks for me! There is not one time Danielle has done my makeup where I did not get MANY compliments- she works magic! For my brother's wedding last week, she teamed up with Michaela, who did my hair- they are the DREAM TEAM! Michaela is also an artist who I adore and is super talented! That night they executed the Hollywood look on me and what can I tell you- I truly felt so glamorous and got complements all night. They are true artists and 1000% recommend them! I love the whole Makiaj team....I love their teamwork, the way they all work together and uplift each other- truly the sweetest and most empowering group of women! they are all so professional, communicative, and great to work with- if you are looking for a beauty salon, Makiaj is it! read more

Vanessa, Jazlyn, Marlene and the whole team at Makiaj were so incredible to work with! I got married on NYE last year and they did my hair and makeup for all 3 of my wedding events. Not only did they do an amazing job, but they were so professional and so attentive to everything I was looking for. They made sure I felt comfortable the whole time and they were on top of everything. They also got my mom, sister, sister-in-law and mother-in-law ready and they were so efficient! Their work is comparable to celebrity make up artists and one look at the pictures on their website will show you how flawless their skills are. They made me look and feel like a princess! I would highly recommend Makiaj for anyone looking for the best experience. read more

Beautiful salon! Went in for hair and makeup for a pageant. The quality of work was perfection. I had my wedding makeup done here years ago and am so glad I did. Amazing group. read more

Not only does Pooja have incredible talent (she made me look like a magazine super model!), she is extremely down to earth, personable, and generous with her time (my wedding was on her birthday!). At our initial consult she actively listened to what I wanted and the vision I had of a natural, classic, semi-formal look; she shared her opinions and suggestions which I felt comfortable taking or leaving. At first I was concerned that we were not doing a 'practice session' but my fears were waylaid by her assurances and confidence. On my wedding day Pooja was prompt and had me ready by the specified completion time. She helped me feel at ease and made sure I was comfortable and satisfied with the results; at first I was a bit shocked to see so much makeup since I hardly ever wear any at all, but as you can see from my picture it was perfect. I enjoyed working with her and adored my look so much that I've been trying to think up another fabulous event that would require her services! Pooja, thank you so much for working so hard to become an amazing hair and makeup artist - you made me into a picture perfect bride (literally). read more

Got hair and make-up for a special wedding. Never felt so glamorous! Highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience with Makiaj. Pooja and Vanessa are so experienced, particularly with South Asian brides.

I had my makeup done for my wedding with Pooja -- she was simply perfect! We revised the look from my trial to capture a very natural look - the pictures are just stunning. I can't say enough that she was one of the very best professionals that I worked with, loved her work - thank you Pooja!!!! (BTW she also did makeup for my BFF (BFF and I are mid 40s) and my new step-daughter -- who is 25. each one of us had a slightly different look depending on what each of us was going for -- Pooja listed carefully and captured exactly what each girl wanted that morning!) read more

Great staff and great work. Marlene did my wedding makeup and she did an amazing job! I would def hire her again for future events.

BOOK THEM NOW! I have nothing but good things to say about the Makiaj team and especially, Danielle, my makeup artist. I have truly never been treated with such respect, customer service and authenticity from a business than with Makiaj. After having a horrible bridal trial with someone else, I ran to Makiaj, where Danielle was placed as my artist. Not only did she listen to me complain (lol), but she listened to what I wanted and saw my vision for my makeup look on my wedding day-even going above and beyond and creating a "tan effect" on my chest, because I wanted to be able to visualize the whole thing at my trial. Danielle and the rest of the team on my wedding day, were so kind and sincere to all of my bridesmaids. I truly cannot say enough good things about them. If you are on the fence, take the leap! They are worth every.single. penny. :) and make sure you ask for Danielle ;) read more

I had my hair and makeup done for an event and was stunned when She finished with me. Through out the whole appointment she made me feel relaxed and comfortable as if one of my girlfriends was getting me ready. I would recommend Pooja to anyone who needs hair and makeup for any event! read more

Makiaj Beauty - May 2014 makeup and hair by Pooja - Makeup Artists Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Pooja and her team are amazing at what they do. I trusted them with my hair and makeup for my wedding day and also 3 of the bridesmaids along with the mother of the bride and groom. Everyone looked gorgeous and loved it. I knew it was going to be an investment but well worth it. The fact that they can multitask and do hair and makeup at the same time and stay on schedule was super important to me. They looked so professional and were prepared and organized. It's nice that they help you feel like a bride by taking videos and photos and sharing them on their social media and with you. The trial was so much fun too, I love having such positive memories from this exciting day and time in my life! I can't wait to order a makeup bag and cute robe. Thank you Makiaj beauty! read more

I feel so fortunate to have had Makiaj do my hair and makeup, bridesmaids' hair and makeup, and my mom's hair and makeup on my wedding day! They traveled to our venue, brought additional lighting, and created a timeline to ensure everything stayed on track. Danielle did my hair and makeup for my trial and wedding day, and to say I felt beautiful would be an understatement. We received SO many compliments on our hair and makeup! Not only was her work incredible, but Danielle is also extremely kind and professional. We couldn't have asked for a better team!! I am forever grateful. read more

I cannot thank these ladies enough for making me look perfect for my big day. I used them for my hair and makeup for our engagement shoot and didn't hesitate to book them for our wedding. Vanessa is AMAZING. She has a way of making you feel comfortable and confident. She did my hair and makeup for 3 of my events (2 Indian-which required draping and 1 White Dress) and perfected every look. The compliments and pictures speak for themselves. I look forward to working with them again! read more

My sister hired this team of wonderful women as a gift to her bridesmaids when she was married last week. All six bridesmaids looked fabulous, as did my sister. Our makeup and hair stayed fresh and beautiful throughout the long day and night (even despite the warm temperature). I especially appreciate that the artists listened well to what each of us wanted and personalized each look to suit the individual, rather than recreate a similar look on all of us. Since I had a few hours to kill after being made up while the others were being made up, I cut out to have a passport photo taken; the owner of the place I went to immediately commented on how beautiful she thought I looked when I walked through the door. The wedding photos I've seen thus far are lovely. (This review was written by Erik's wife.) read more

My daughter was having her senior photos taken and wanted to get her hair and makeup done. After much researching we decided on Makiaj Beauty. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vanessa and the staff. They were professional, listened to what my daughter wanted, and were soooo much fun! They made us laugh throughout our whole session and it was so comfortable and relaxing. As a mom I got to enjoy watching her get ready for her big moment and it was stress free! We will come back again without hesitation. Thank you girls for a great time and one we will remember forever. And by the way her pictures turned out beautiful read more

I've had two different services performed by two different people & I'm so happy with both. I'm a very picky person when it comes to anything aesthetics & have a pretty high standard. I had my makeup done by Marlene for a professional photo. She did the best makeup any professional MUA has ever done. To be that gifted at such a young age is crazy! Then I had my eyebrows microbladed by Vanessa. She really took the time to listen to what type of brow shape I wanted & did such a beautiful & natural job. Both ladies were down to earth & easy to talk to. This is definitely my go-to company for any beauty services. Love! read more

Wow! What an amazing experience I had with Makiaj! Pooja did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and she was absolutely an artist!

I was very fortunate to have Pooja as my make up artist for my Sangeet, Wedding & Reception. I was always a big fan of her work and it was an easy decision for me to make her a part of my special day. I gave her an idea of what I wanted with my hair and make up and let her finalize the look! Needless to say it Pooja did an extraordinary job and made me look beautiful! I have had many of our guests compliment her work. Her passion and dedication to her clients and her work is always outstanding and admirable. She is very easy to work with yet very professional. I enjoyed my time with you during the wedding and look forward to many more fun times together. Thank you for all you did! You are are best :) read more

During our initial consultation, I found Pooja to be an extremely amiable person with a strong command of her line of work. I didn't have a specific hairstyle in mind, but Pooja was able to suggest several options that would fit well w/ my wedding dress and jewelry. She was also very honest about the styles that would not work well with my wedding style. While I didn't have time to get a hair & makeup trial, I had the sense that she would do a fantastic job on my wedding day. When she came over to complete the makeup and hair styling for my mom and me on my wedding day, she was professional, witty,calm, and patient. She has a fantastic personality and was a pleasure to spend time with throughout the session. Moreover, the results were breathtaking. I received dozens of compliments on my hair & makeup that day, and she even gave me a couple of pointers on how to replicate certain aspects of the look in the future. In spite of all of the dancing, hugging, and the July heat, my makeup and hairstyle had staying power and looked just as good at the end of the night as they did when she just finished working on them. Pooja is a brilliant hair & makeup artist, and I would recommend her without reservation. read more
