My wedding

Desiree was so amazing! She made my vision for my hair and makeup come to life! She was so enjoyable and would talk and dance with us while we were all getting ready! 10/10

Great communication, so fun to work with!

Desiree was so wonderful - she asked some great questions about my style preferences as well as asked for inspiration pictures. She was very communicative and got my mom and I ready to go for our pictures on time. She has broad experience (she was able to cater to my mom and I who have different styles) and she was a pleasure to talk to during the appointment. Definitely check out La Muse and Desiree for all sorts of events and looks- she has a lot of talent!

Amazing experience!

I hired Desiree to do my hair and make up for my wedding, I was blown away with her work I am truly glad I went with her I would definitely recommend her again and again. She is very professional, talented, she willing to help work with you I booked her a year in advance and with planning my wedding out of state she definitely worked with me when it came to time to try and schedule my makeup trail run when I came to town for wedding stuff and she was able to fit me in, even with the trail run we still ended up changing a few things the morning of and we didn’t do a hair trail but I sent her enough pictures and communicated enough of what I was looking for and she nailed it! My hair and makeup lasted all day and night even with the summer heat and a few tears I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Amazing, so worth it!!

I hired Desiree to do makeup for my wedding last minute, and I am so happy I did! She was able to get me in for a trial even though she was fully booked, which I was so thankful for! On the wedding day, everyone looked so beautiful! Thank you so much Desiree!!

Love love love her!

I had the immense pleasure of having Desiree as my wedding hair and makeup artist in September and from our very first interaction, she displayed a level of professionalism that instantly put me at ease. Her attention to detail, organization, and commitment to understanding my vision were remarkable. She took the time to listen to my ideas and preferences, and then she worked her magic, exceeding all my expectations.

But what truly sets Desiree apart is her genuine care and compassion. She immediately treated me like a friend, ensuring that I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. Her warm and calming presence helped make the day far less stressful.

I can't thank Desiree enough for her exceptional talent, professionalism, and the genuine care she showed me on my wedding day. She made me look and feel like the best version of myself, and I will cherish the memories of that day thanks to her incredible work. If you're looking for a wedding hair and makeup artist who goes above and beyond, Desiree is the one!

Dream Experience!

I hired Desirée to do my hair and makeup for my August wedding, and I was blown away by the results! I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and I am 100% sure I made the right choice for my wedding. I would recommend La Muse again and again - she is receptive, professional, highly skilled, quick to respond, and such a calming presence to keep you sane wedding morning!

I had a trial with Desirée for my makeup, and though it was beautiful, it was not exactly what I wanted for my wedding day. After the trial, I communicated what I liked and didn't like as much, as well as sent more photos of the look I was going for, and on the wedding day, Desirée nailed it! The makeup lasted all day and night and was beyond what I had envisioned.

I did not do a hair trial, but sent her many photos of various possible hairstyles, and Desirée beautifully combined the hairstyles and created a look that was so gorgeous! Truly could not have asked for a better experience!

Choose La Muse for your wedding if you want to feel so at peace with your decision and to have that beautiful bridal feeling all day long!!

So Grateful!

I hired Desirée to do my wedding hair and makeup - and the same services for two of my loved ones - and I am very grateful for how beautifully it all turned out! Desirée was very helpful, personable, professional, flexible, and fun to talk to! Not to mention how great the price was for all of the services PLUS driving out to my venue. I am grateful for it all, and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a good deal and quality service! :)

Desiree worked her magic!

I celebrated my 10 year vow renewal and was nervous about many things. One of them being my hair and makeup because the last time that I had my hair and makeup done was 10 years previous at my wedding and many things had changed since then.
Desiree put me at total ease and reassured me that she would make me feel beautiful, and she was not lying. Desiree was able to make my hair look full and beautiful and my makeup was flawless!
She was great at listening and fine tuning her strategy to accommodate and achieve the look I was going for. My guests were telling me how stunning I looked all night long. I am really grateful that I used Desiree for my hair and makeup and will use her next time I need hair and makeup. Thank you Desiree for making me feel and look so beautiful!!

Calming and professional wedding hair with Desiree

Desiree did a lovely job with wedding hairstyles for me and my bridesmaids! She is a true professional, and she worked some of her "magic" to give me my dream hairstyle despite my hair being slightly too short. I appreciated how she honored my request for a natural look, and she was very responsive to the requests of my bridesmaids as well.

Desiree's salon is very cozy and soothing, which really helped me stay calm as the big event approached. Thank you Desiree!
