Hair & Makeup by Vanessa De Jesus

Vanessa and her team were an absolute dream to work with. I was a little nervous because we did not have time to get a trial in; however, Vanessa was able to transform my vision even better than I was imagining! I prefer a natural makeup look so it was a worry of mine but the products Vanessa used were high quality and perfect for the PR weather. I l felt like the most natural enhanced version of myself. She worked with me in advance of my wedding date and was able to identify the perfect color match hair extension to enhance the hair style we chose. Her team was punctual day of wedding. All my bridesmaids and mother’s makeup and hair were done so beautifully as well. I absolutely would work with Vanessa and her team again.

Vanessa was amazing, and I'd be happy to recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding hair and makeup artist! She did both my hair and makeup for my wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. She truly brought my vision to life and made me feel absolutely beautiful.

From the beginning, she listened carefully to what I wanted, and offered thoughtful suggestions that helped create the perfect bridal look. On the wedding day, she made me feel so comfortable, calm, and relaxed throughout the entire process, which meant so much during such a busy and emotional day.

If you're getting married in a tropical climate, I especially recommend her! My hair and makeup held up beautifully despite the heat and humidity, and I felt confident all day long. I can't thank her enough for helping make my wedding day so special! 💕

I cannot recommend my hair and makeup artist enough! I was traveling across the country for my destination wedding, and from our very first introduction, she made me feel completely comfortable, confident, and reassured. Planning a wedding from far away can be stressful, but she made the entire process feel effortless.
On my wedding day, everything went as smoothly as I could have imagined. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also such a kind, warm, and lovely person to spend such an important day with. She truly felt like an addition to the celebration rather than just a vendor.
And the look—absolutely timeless. She made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself, and I am so grateful I chose her. Looking back at my photos, I know I'll love this look for years to come.
If you're nervous about choosing the right hair and makeup artist, I promise she will not disappoint. She exceeded every expectation and played such a special role in making my wedding day perfect.❤️

I guess I gave her the wrong date on the paperwork she uses to schedule! When we realized what happened I was so worried I’d be stuck doing my own makeup but Thankfully Vanessa is EXCELLENT and was still able to make it to me in time with basically no notice. So professional even though I really messed up!

Vanessa arrived very timely to the venue to set up and did a great job keeping us on time. She even accommodated an extra flower girl for us at the last minute and was very nice about that and one of my bridesmaids arriving late. She did a great job with my hair- very comfortable, despite having extensions and being all the way up. The hair lasted most of the night too! She also helped with my makeup- I’m Chinese American, so traditional bridal makeup/contour placement tends to age my face but Vanessa was very open to my suggestions and extremely nice about it all. My skin looked amazing thanks to her. She also knew exactly what to say to a very anxious and stressed out bride, so I really can’t thank her enough. My maid of honor also loved her hair, and she has very difficult to work with hair! Altogether an amazing experience and if I could hire Vanessa every time I needed to get a picture taken, I 100% would.

Vanessa did a fabulous job with my wedding hair and makeup as well as my family’s hair and makeup. She was super professional and able to match our skin tones perfectly. Our makeup lasted all day in the humidity and my hair looked flawless all day. Would recommend!

I asked Vanessa to do a soft glam with a pop of color on me for my wedding day and needless to say she slay the assignment. Vanessa is amazing and she’s such an amazing person it would be a mistake not to hire her

Vanessa and her team were an absolute dream to work with for my destination wedding. I went in with a few nerves—I don’t usually wear much makeup and really wanted to feel like myself, just elevated. On top of that, I wasn’t able to do a trial, and I had a large bridal party of 10 bridesmaids (plus moms!) with a wide range of skin tones and features. It felt like a big ask… and they exceeded every expectation.

From the moment they arrived, their energy was calm, positive, and grounding—exactly what you want on your wedding day. They ran everything like a well-oiled machine, staying perfectly on schedule while still making each person feel cared for and seen. Every single one of my bridesmaids looked and felt beautiful, and the team did an incredible job working across different complexions and styles with such skill and intention.

Vanessa herself was so thoughtful throughout the process—at one point even pausing to make sure I had something to eat before applying my lip, which was such a small but meaningful moment of care in a busy day.

And my final look… I was absolutely obsessed. It was everything I had hoped for and so much more—natural, elevated, and completely me. I felt confident, comfortable, and so happy.

I truly can’t recommend Vanessa and her team enough. Thank you for making us all feel our best and for bringing such wonderful energy to such a special day.

Vanessa is amazing! She is so professional and great at what she does. I specifically chose Vanessa because she specializes in airbrush foundation which was a must for a destination wedding! Both my hair and makeup held up the entire night with no smudges - even through tears! I've loved working with her; she makes her brides feel like they are friends, not just clients. Her team was also amazing and made my entire bridal party look so beautiful.

I truly cannot say enough good things! From the very beginning, she was so professional, responsive, and easy to work with. On my wedding day, she made me feel absolutely beautiful and so confident it was exactly the look I was hoping for.

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also brought such a calm and positive energy to the day, which made a huge difference. Everything lasted all day and night, even through the heat, dancing, and emotions!

She really listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly. I felt like the best version of myself, and that’s all you can ask for on your wedding day.

I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation she’s truly amazing
