Best ladies to start the big day with!

We were fortunate enough to work with Karen, Crystal, and Jaclyn to bring our big day to life. Karen was our lead artist, and was the sweetest person. From trial to big day, she took all notes to ensure that my hair & makeup would last all day. All of my bridesmaids and our moms looked so beautiful. These ladies were the best people to start our day with!

Amazing hair and makeup for my wedding day

I truly can't thank Mandy and Katie with Design Visage enough for the incredible job they did on my wedding day! They made me (the bride) and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful, confident, and happy. I felt like the best version of myself. They went above and beyond, even trimming my extensions to blend perfectly with my natural hair, which I so appreciated. They were also so patient and kind as I asked for small adjustments to make sure everything felt just right. Getting ready with my closest girls was such a special, calm, and fun part of the day, and Katie and Mandy helped make it such a lovely experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Perfect Hair & Makeup Team

Working with Design Visage was one of the best decisions for my wedding day. Athena was extremely helpful and communicative organizing the logistics for my welcome event and wedding day. Rachel, my artist, was absolutely amazing! She was very kind and professional. She did a perfect job for both my welcome event and wedding day. I also did a hair and makeup trial with her, which I highly recommend. You can't go wrong with the DV team!

Beautiful Wedding Day Experience

I had an incredible experience with Design Visage! My artist, Savannah, was kind, professional, and exceptionally knowledgeable. We did a preview session a few months before my wedding, which I highly recommend. It was so helpful to test out different hairstyles and makeup looks to find the perfect fit for my big day.

On the day of, I ended up changing my hairstyle last minute, and Savannah adjusted effortlessly, bringing my vision to life! I felt truly beautiful, and the touch-up kit she provided was a lifesaver—I used it several times to keep everything looking fresh. I’m so grateful to have had Savannah for my hair and makeup. She made the whole experience perfect!

Great experience!

I had a great experience working with this team for my wedding! Stacey and Missy were our stylists and I would book them again. They listened to what me and my bridal party wanted and we all loved our final looks

The best hair and makeup team!

Design Visage was the best hair and makeup team for my special wedding day! They were friendly, quick, and very professional. I can be a bit picky about my hair and makeup and Chanel did such a great job at listening to what my vision was and what I liked. We got along the moment we met at my trial she truly felt like a friend. The day of my wedding the ladies were early, brought great energy and vibes and were such a great additional to the day. I had 5 bridesmaids, my mom and mother in law and they all loved their hair and makeup! All the girls including myself were made to feel so special and beautiful. They really listened to what each and every girl wanted (which can be a challenge). I loved loved loved Chanel and I would recommend her to any Bride! Thank you for making me feel and look beautiful and for having such a fun morning listening to some good music!!!

Amazing to work with

My makeup artist Savanna was great! From our trial to the day of, she gave me exactly what I was looking for and helped me achieve the look I wanted. She was sweet, diligent, and delivered! We also loved the hair stylist on her team, Lucia. She too delivered and made all the girls feel and look good! The DV team was easy to work with and the owner was super sweet when she stopped by the studio while I was having my trial done. Would recommend this team!

Awesome experience!! Absolutely recommend!

We had an awesome experience with the Design Visage team!! We hired Design Visage for our wedding on 12/30/23. Throughout the entire process (almost 2 years from booking to wedding) they were communicative, kind, and helpful! Amy was awesome and was super flexible when I decided to change my look away from what we did in the preview. She assured me we would get it right and I'm so happy with how it turned out on the day (despite a crazy amount of wind - not their fault!)! The team also did both moms and 9 bridesmaids! Would absolutely recommend!!

Fantastic Experience

Working with Design Visage for my wedding was a DREAM! Chanel was my artist for my trial and wedding day and she hit it out of the park. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup I was a little nervous for the trial but Chanel immediately put me at ease. After talking through everything and going through inspo photos she knew exactly what I was looking for and I couldn’t have been happier with the end result.

For the wedding day Chanel and Karen did hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party and it was a blast. They brought such a fun energy to the bridal suite and my bridesmaids couldn’t stop talking about how great they both were and how happy they were with their looks. I loved working with Design Visage and their team and will be recommending them any chance I get!

Design Visage - Wedding Day

Design Visage was so amazing to work with for my wedding! Amy was the lead artist for my hair and make up. She knocked it out of the park for the trial, and when we made slight changes for my wedding day, it looked even better. I had 13 girls getting ready, and we had 5 artists. By the time I got to the venue they were already completely set up and ready to go. They were on top of timing, and we never ran into any issues. Everyone's hair and make up looks were flawless. Shout outs to Amy, Karen, Veronica, Ira, and Ariel. I'd gladly hire them again any time!

I have worked with Design visage in two different weddings. They always manage to pull off the most amazing looks that look classic and effortless on the brides and bridesmaids that enhance their beauty. They are very good with the timeline and don't eat into my portrait time at all. Super professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Joanne from Joanne Leung Photography
