Okay WOW. If you're trying to decide between make up artists in the Dallas area for your wedding…read moreweekend, look no further. Alex was one of my favorite vendors to work with (it feels weird even calling her a vendor, because now I feel like we're close friends!). There are vendors that are at your wedding to perform a service and get out as quickly as possible. Not Alex! She is patient, listens to what your preferences are, gives guidance on visions without being overpowering, and is humble enough to make any tweaks or changes you might want. She is confident in her work and it shows! Alex made me feel beautiful during my wedding. She also made me feel totally comfortable because of her outgoing personality! Alex's sanitation practices are top notch (I feel an important callout to make in today's climate). She doesn't cheap out and takes care of her brides in the right way. She is also extremely professional. I was particular about how I wanted to handle contracts, and I asked for a lot of clarity and confirmation with payments. Never an issue for Alex. Her contract and payment system is super professional, which made it extremely seamless to work with her, understand the terms of our contract, and also ensure everything was handled from start to finish. Amidst everything else and the numerous vendors you might work with especially during an Indian wedding, it was a breath of fresh air to never have to worry about the small details when working with Alex. Ms. Painted Lady, Alex, is everything you need and want for your wedding weekend. She will make you feel like the most beautiful bride and she will make the hours of hair and makeup the most enjoyable time. Ding dong! Alex, you're beautiful. Thanks for all that you did to make this such a special moment. Forever grateful!

Alex took the time to talk about my vision for each of my looks and the outcome was way better than I expected. I actually didn't even want to see myself until she was completely finished so I could be completely wowed. Her team also did amazing with my family and friends. She made me feel natural in my own skin and like the most beautiful bride on one of the most important weekends of my life and I cannot highly recommend her enough! Thank you so much, Alex!

Q is truly on another level. I had trials with a few other hair and makeup artists who were very…read moregood, but Q's work was the best by far!! I was actually hesitant to book her because she was pricier than I had budgeted for, but once we had the trial, I knew she was THE ONE. And let me tell you, she was worth every penny and more! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than on my wedding day and it was all thanks to Q. Not only is she extremely talented, but I also ended up just totally falling in love with her personality as well! I absolutely loved working with her. She is SO easy going and accommodating and will work with you to customize your perfect wedding day look. She made me feel comfortable telling her exactly what I had in mind, and when I wasn't sure about something she was able to give me her expert opinion and guide me in the right direction. She has a great artistic eye for using makeup to highlight YOUR specific features so that you essentially look like the BEST glowy gorgeous version of yourself. She also works very quickly which is nice because it leaves plenty of time for tweaks or touchups. Q has my highest recommendation. If you want a HMUA that's going to make you look and feel like a princess, do not hesitate to book Q. You can't go wrong with her. I am convinced that she is the best HMUA out there.

The 5 star average for Quynh is well-deserved!…read more I'm really particular about vendors delivering quality service, and for sure, Quynh was one of my favorite wedding vendors to work with. She was always communicative, professional, honest, and so easy to talk to. She never pushes you toward a certain look, and instead, guides you to figure out what you might like or might suit you best. She is a bit on the pricier end, but if you want quality work from someone who's reliable and pleasant to work with, then book Quynh! Also, let's just say there was a stark contrast between how I looked on my wedding day (when Quynh did my hair and makeup) vs my engagement photos (where I did my own hair and makeup). Don't make the same mistake as me... use her for both!

Nora is exceptionally talented, and has an eye for bringing out the glamour and beauty in each…read moreindividual. For my trial make up, she recommended that I bring a photo of myself with my own make up on, so that she can make me look like a more beautiful version of myself. In the past, whenever I've gotten my make up done elsewhere, I never really liked it because it just didn't look like me. It was a version of what someone else thinks I should look like. Also, because I have single eyelids, most other make up artists didn't know how to deal with that. With Nora I LOVED my make up and I can't stop looking at myself in mirror. She is a true professional, and knew exactly where to set up shop. She made me feel at ease on an otherwise hectic day, and gave me tips on how to keep my make up for the rest of the day. Ann uses high quality professional make up that lasts the entire day. I didn't even have to do any touch up, she's that good. I can't thank Nora enough, for making my day. If you're still reading this review, I highly recommend you book her now before it's too late!

When I moved to Dallas a few years ago, I found Jenny on Instagram and instantly became obsessed…read more Every bride, every look--she slayed every single time. That's when I knew: when it was my turn, it had to be Jenny. Naturally, she was the very first vendor I booked when I entered my wedding era. I actually called her the week after I got engaged, asked which dates she had open--and then planned my wedding around her availability. That's how serious I was. I almost skipped doing a trial because I trusted Jenny that much. But when we talked, she encouraged me to go for it--not because I needed it, but because it's part of the whole wedding experience. And she was so right. It made everything feel even more real and exciting. My mom came with me to my trial, and we had such a fun time--especially with her assistant, Anu, there too. During the trial, I told Jenny I wanted to look sleek and snatched for one of my pre-wedding events. We landed on this stunning high bun, and when I got home, my dad said he loved my hair--Indian girlies, you know what a moment that is lol. Fast forward to the wedding weekend, and of course I started second guessing the sleek look. I walked in that morning and told Jenny, "Maybe we should play it safe and do a loose half-up, half-down instead." Jenny didn't let me off that easy--she literally sent me to another room to think it over! After a moment, we started my makeup, and once I had my blouse and jewelry on, Jenny tried both hairstyles on me--the soft look and the sleek high bun. The moment I saw them side by side, I knew. There was no way I could NOT go with the bun. It was just too good. Jenny had known from the beginning that this was the look. She saw the vision the second we did the trial and when I showed her my outfit. She knew what I was going for even when I started to doubt myself--and she guided me right back to it. I'm fully convinced that if I'd gone with anyone else, they would've just done what I said that morning, and I would've looked completely different. Jenny is the best of the best for a reason. Of course, when it came to the big day, Jenny slayed my classic bridal look--exactly how I imagined it. She and her team also took care of my mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law for both days, and they were incredible. My mom has had some questionable experiences with professional hair and makeup in the past, so I wasn't sure what to expect--but she loved how beautiful Jenny made her feel. She was completely at ease the entire time, and I could tell she genuinely felt confident and happy with both of her looks. Everyone looked so beautiful, and we had such a fun, easy time together thanks to them. Truly the dream team!

Not only is Rafa very knowledgeable about the business side of the profession, but she is also an amazing makeup artist herself. I was impressed by her beautiful makeup art, and it was the first thing that caught my attention and made me trust her. The next thing was her aspiration to help other makeup artists achieve their goals and improve their life. Last but not least, a big part of Rafa's training is mindset. I relate and connect to that on every level, and knowing how important it is, I was surprised to find out I was missing some fundamental building blocks. Only 2 months after I signed up for the training, I started seeing results. Now, only 3 months later, I am booking clients and charging a higher rate than I wished and planned for. Did I forget to say... once you are completed with your training, Rafa is still there to support you along the way. What a relief! If you want to elevate your business as a makeup artist, having Beauty By Rafa's coaching and guidance will be the best decision and investment you have ever made!
