Excellent Makeup Artist

Dany was very professional and kind. She was excellent with my makeup, and delivered exactly what I wanted. My hair was also very pretty, I wish the curls stayed in longer but that is just my hair type. She also did my mom's makeup and she was stunning! I couldn't stop looking at her. Transformed her from 70 years old to 40.

Highly recommend!

Dany did an amazing job doing my mom’s, my sister’s and my hair and makeup for my sister’s wedding! She is so kind and so easy to work with. We all prefer more simple hair and makeup styles and she did exactly what we imagined. We received so many compliments and I would recommend her to anyone!

Super professional and amazing results

Dany did my hair and makeup for my wedding and she did an excellent job at a reasonable price. I got a LOT of compliments on everything. She was responsive and punctual, which meant a lot to me because being late was one of my biggest worries. I highly recommend her to be trusted for any special occasion you may have.

Bridal makeup

Dany made me feel so beautiful and natural in my wedding day! I was nervous about trying a new artist and afraid of “not looking like myself” but Dany did not disappoint. I showed her a picture and spoke about how I wanted my makeup to look. She exceeded my expectations. Dany was very easy to communicate with and easy to work with .

Dany hair and makeup experience

Dany did hair and makeup for me at my wedding day. She was very responsive leading up to the event, so it was easy to make arrangements with her. She arrived at my house on time, accommodating the early time that I needed.
Dany was very professional. She did makeup and hair both for me and my mother in law, and did an excellent job! I was especially impressed with the makeup - we both looked stunning on the most special day of my life! I would recommend using Dany’s services to anyone - you won’t be sorry.

Danymakeup is everything you are looking for!

I hired Daniela for my American wedding and I couldn’t have made better decision! Not only she was punctual and very professional but she explained every step in a very clear and enchanting way. She listens to your opinion but she also helps you understand why an option is better than another one and she is always damn right! I loved the final result and working with Daniela, she is the best.

Make up Service for Bride

Dany was very professional and prompt. I needed my makeup done for my wedding. She did a fantastic job. I loved the mini facial service before the actual glam. I was very pleased with the services provided.

Loved my makeup!

I used Dany for my engagement photos this past weekend. What a breeze the process was- she is quick to respond, so approachable, and came to my house with only a few days notice. I don’t wear a ton of make up at baseline but wanted something that would be dramatic enough for photos. It lasted all day and the pictures came out so well.

Dany herself is very professional, was on time, very easy going, and has loads of experience. Would definitely use her again. Didn’t use her hair services but the place I ended up going made me wish I had used her! We are getting married in California otherwise I would use her for my wedding too!

Wedding day & bridal party

My experience with Danymakeup was outstanding. My wife and I, after a long research for our special day, we finally found the perfect match. Dani response was prompt and efficient; she did all our bridal party as well, and everybody were pleased and happy with the outcome. I definitely recommend this vendor, matters of fact we already booked her for our next event !
