Highly Recommend!

Des and April did my daughters hair and makeup for her wedding as well as her bridesmaids, mother of the bride and aunts. Nine people! I never wear my hair up but LOVED it and my makeup was great, too. Everyone looked like movie stars and the bride was STUNNING! She wanted a old Hollywood and that’s what she got. Call DA Bridal! They are sooo nice and you won’t be disappointed!

AMAZING! 15/10 recommend!

Dez & April are rockstars! So warm, down to earth, and professional. They feel like your own personal glam squad and like they’ve been part of your best friend group your whole life. As someone who doesn’t glam up often, they made me feel beautiful, yet myself on our wedding day. Love these ladies!

Brought my bridal vision to life!

April and Desiree, Alex and Lina were absolutely amazing additions to our wedding. They made everyone look and feel their best, while bringing lightness, fun and ease to the days. Our wedding was a fusion wedding with multiple days of events. We had D&A for two of the days -- the Punjabi wedding and the Western wedding.

Lead up: So much planning, communication and coordination went into figuring out the schedules for both days, as we had 20+ ladies getting hair and makeup done across multiple locations and venue changes. D&A was prompt and thorough in all of their communications and helped me think through things I never would have thought about to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Trials: I arrived at my trial very stressed out after I got a flat tire on the way there. I was met with understanding and a glass of champagne that immediately turned my mood around. I was so unsure about what I wanted in terms of hair and makeup across the two days and Desiree and April were really helpful and patient  - listening and working with me to help me figure out exactly what I wanted and making sure I felt good about it.

Wedding: On the days of our events, they were on time (and we started SUPER early), so prepared and so flexible. Above all, they were fun and did great work. Everyone from the bridesmaids, to MOB and MOG and flower girls looked and felt amazing!  We also had a number of last minute adds, and they were so accommodating and ready to help at every turn with hair spray touch ups, tikka tape, air brush coverage for my sun burn - you name it! They truly brought the vision I had of myself as a bride to life -- both days, with looks that were different, but distinctly me. I felt so beautiful and that the hair and makeup they did enhanced ME and made me look like my best self. We just got our photos back from the photographer and I'm so happy with how they came out, how I look and I owe that in large part to D&A. Thank you!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
