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.

Bridal Makeup & Hair

Dany did such an amazing job with my bridal makeup and hair! I was nervous being out of state and not being able to do a trial beforehand, but she did better than I could have asked for and gave me exactly what I wanted. She showed up on time and finished before the time I provided, which took so much off of my plate. She was so kind and I would love to work with her again!

I found Dany on Instagram when I was looking for someone to do my wife’s hair and makeup as a surprise for our wedding. I’m so glad I found her. She was kind, professional, and made everything so easy. My wife looked absolutely beautiful and was so happy with the result. It was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend Dany to anyone looking for hair and makeup for a special day.

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.
