IF you're looking for hair and makeup for your special day whether it be a wedding, a quince, a work event, whatever! you can seriously stop now. The minute I met Isa I knew that she was 'the one' and our personalities just clicked. She, as well as Arlene who did my hair, came to my moms house in Weston for the trial, which isn't around the corner from where they are in Miami (about an hour away). With very little explanation or direction of what I wanted (I had a few ideas but I was pretty open to their ideas) we got the look on the first trial. I felt like we really connected and that Isa was especially personable with myself and my mom which made us feel really comfortable. They brought the party without sacrificing any professionalism. It felt like we were old friends. The Day of my wedding was phenomenal and we started early early in the AM! but Isa was there with us and I trusted her completely with myself my mother and my bridesmaids, along with Arlene and Nancy who did a phenomenal job with our hair (Arlene) and makeup (Nancy). I highly recommend Isa and Makeup in the City and CANNOT thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful on my special day and for just being so awesome in general. Love you and Thank you!!!

Isa is a gem! Among the many makeup artists in Miami, Isa is incredibly talented at making women of all ages look and feel beautiful. Whether seeking an old-Hollywood classic look, a subtle and natural look or a lively and dramatic look, Isa will achieve it. She takes her time to examine each clients unique features and focus on the important details necessary to achieve the look she is creating. She is graceful, passionate, genuine, bubbly and a total sweetheart. I am sure you will love this Glaminator and her incredible work!

Isa is an angel! (and a talented one at that!) I was revamping my website photos and booked Isa for the services. My favorite part? She asked me what kind of look I was going for and really got to know "me", so that my makeup didn't leave me looking like someone unrecognizable. She knew exactly how to balance a natural while still adding "pop" for the camera to pick up on. She is a true artist when it comes to individual lashes!! <3 Seriously never wanted to take off my makeup! She's a sweetheart to work with both personally and professionally. I would recommend to all my friends and clients

I'm not a bride just YET. But I used Isa for a wedding in december. What can I say? Speechless. No words. She's just the most beautiful human being in and out and went ABOVE AND BEYOND. My makeup and hair lasted ALL night and even the next day. I'll definitely be using her always. Thank you so much Isa! You made me feel beautiful!
Xoxo, Kelly

Isa is amazing! Seriously, I have never had someone do my makeup as well as she did. She is very detailed, listens to exactly the look you want then goes above and beyond to deliver. My photoshoot pics came out awesome thanks to hair and makeup by makeup in the city, and I will definitely use this service again for any future photos or events. Thanks again!

Isa made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! The makeup was simply perfect. She also did the makeup for my mom, my mother-in-law, a few other family members and bridesmaids. They all looked spectacular. It is so important to feel like you look your best in important occasions like this. Isa is a pro! Besides the quality of work, she is punctual, professional, and reasonably priced. Would recommend 100%
