    Exceptional services from a truly wonderful person

    Anna not only has exceptional skill, but she's one of the friendliest people to work with! She has this gift for making whoever is sitting in her chair feel comfortable, at ease, and if they were sitting with a dear friend. She was able to complete hair and makeup for myself, four bridesmaids, and my mother with time to spare, but the quality was still outstanding and lasted the entire day. I highly recommend Destination Beautiful to anyone looking for professional beauty services!

    Amazing experience from day one!

    I first met Anna for my trial run and even from our messages on WeddingWire, I could tell she was super personable and I was so excited to meet her! Anna was immediately so welcoming and open, I felt like we’d been friends for years. She cared not only about me and wanting to know my story, but she wanted to know my mom, my bridesmaids, and even asked all kinds of questions about my fiancé and son. She was just so wonderful! She knocked my hair out of the park on the trial run day, I thought things couldn’t get any better! Well then day of, boy she delivered the moon and stars for me and my girls!!! She even touched up my moms hair and did a little sweet updo for my flower girl. Is she awesome or what?! Anna is totally phenomenal!!! She has got to be one of the kindest people I’ve ever met and I couldn’t imagine finding a more perfect person than her. I felt every bit like a movie star on my wedding day thanks to her magic! Hands down, Anna was one of the BEST vendors I worked with during the planning process and she gave a top notch performance on my big day. I’d 150% without a doubt recommend her for any occasion! She is extraordinary!!!

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    I can’t say enough good things about Anna! Not only did she make myself and my bridal party (9 people total after our mom’s and flower girl!!!) look absolutely gorgeous, she made us so comfortable! Never once did we feel rushed and she was so patient working with the younger kids that were there.She took direction well from the people who knew what they wanted and she took the lead for the ones that didn’t. I think that’s a unique and important trait in a cosmetologist. Our makeup stayed smudge free all day and we partied haaaaaard! Thank you so much Anna! You know you have a client for life!

    Anna is amazing!

    If you want to feel like a princess and look beautiful on your wedding day pick Anna! She truly listens to every thing you say and bends over backwards for you. I had 7 bridesmaids, moms and a few extras and she came prepared with herself and another stylist. She kept us ahead of time and executed every vision I had perfectly!! I could not have asked for a better down to earth and amazingly talented artist.

    Anna has done my make up for a lot of my Photo shoots... so when it came to my big day it was a no-brainer picking her. Not only can I depend on Anna to provide me with make up that looks natural and will last, but she also uses products that are not going to damage my skin. She doesn't use chemicals, preservatives, anything that's harmful to animals, and a lot of time is vegan.

    Another huge reason that I chose Anna to do my make up on my big day was that she is unbelievably enjoyable to be around. She is a mother and a friend and that's how I feel when I'm with her. She typically brings me snacks or water as well as listens to my life keeps me in good spirits. On a stressful day Anna really can be the light at the end of the tunnel.

    Anna was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond when helping out with mine and my bridal party’s hair and makeup. Even with all the dancing my hair and makeup stayed flawless. She did so great that both myself and my maid of honor have decided to make her our regular hair stylist. Definitely recommend her for your wedding!

    Oh my, Anna Lee. Such a doll to work with! As soon as I met her at my hair and makeup trial, it was like we had been friends forever! She is super chill and easy going… I showed her a few hairstyles I was thinking of for my wedding and she roughly did each style so we could figure out what I liked best. She was right on time on the wedding day and also did hair and makeup for all of my bridesmaids. Her special touch definitely made me feel like a beautiful bride and I got SO many compliments on my hair! My bridesmaids looked amazing as well and it was really refreshing to have someone around all morning who made us feel so comfortable and relaxed! Hire Anna for your hair and makeup needs and you won’t be disappointed ☺ Thank you so much Anna! -Catherine

    Anna is absolutely fantastic!! Anna worked her magic on my bridesmaids and they loved their make-up and kept saying how happy they were and that they’ve never felt more beautiful! She is also so sweet and fun too! We absolutely loved her and I’m so thankful she was a part of my wedding day! :) !!

    Having Anna do your hair and makeup on your wedding day is the best/easiest decision! Not only is she talented, but she is the calm personality you want on the morning of one of the most important days of your life. Her prices are reasonable and she provided looks for me and my bridesmaids that lasted all day. Thank you Anna for being amazing!

    Anna is a MAGICIAN! She did hair/makeup for myself, my three bridesmaids and my flower girl and we all looked AMAZING! During my trial, we discussed what changes I wanted to make for the actual wedding and she nailed it. So easy to work with and funny as all get out. I was sad to see her go when she finished. We really had a wonderful time with her prepping. And the hair/makeup last the entire day without smudging off on anyone and I did a LOT of kissing and hugging!!! Highly recommend her.

    I choose Anna to do my hair and makeup for my wedding not just because she did a flawless job bit because during my test trial she was the only person that did not try to change the hairstyle I wanted. My hair is very thin and the style I wanted was difficult. She took the time to make it work and gave me what I wanted. I really appreciated the time and care to make me happy. Anna is also for friendly and fun. It was like having a friend do my hair and makeup at my wedding. Anna was very reasonable for hair and makeup travelling to the venue especially for airbrush makeup. Thank you for being apart of my day!

    Anna was great for my bridal party's hair! She was fun to be around all day while remaining very professional. Not to mention the beautiful work she did on our hair! 5 girls, 2 mothers, and even helped with my flower girl's long hair and flower crown. Anna was also flexible and had a "no stress" attitude throughout the whole process which any bride can appreciate!

    Thank you so much Hannah! You were a pure joy to work with!

    Anna was the best! She was such a delight to work with and made both the wedding planning and the actual day such a success! Prior to the big day, me and my girls met with her for a pre-wedding consultation at her house which was very relaxing and fun. She had great ideas and techniques for both our hair and makeup. Leading up to the wedding, she stayed in touch to send other ideas for hair/makeup our way for consideration. On our wedding day, she was so much fun. Our "getting ready room" was full of laughs and very beautiful women based on Anna's work! She even squeezed in a last minute request for an additional person's hair. I would HIGHLY recommend Anna for any of your wedding hair/makeup needs!

    Laura, you and your family were an absolute delight! Thank you for having me as a part of your wedding day!

    Love Anna! I am a makeup-artist/hairstylist myself but hired Anna so i wouldn't have to work on my wedding day! She did my hair, and hair and makeup for 6 other people and was very good with timing, and great with my grandma who was VERY picky!
    i would definitely recommend Anna to ANY bride, it is hard to find sweet and genuine people like her in the beauty industry!

    Anna was great!! She did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup, and was very attentive and enthusiastic throughout. She was very patient during my trial run, and was more than willing to try out several hair styles. She even did a trial run for my mom a few days before the wedding because my mom doesn't wear much make up and was worried it would look overdone. She was patient and listened to what we had to say. She is very capable at highlighting everyone's natural beauty without looking overly done-up, just as the ladies wanted. I would highly recommend Anna, her services are a steal!!

    Anna is awesome!!!!! She wants the bride to be happy. Went to her for try out and fell in love with her. I told her what kind of make-up style i want and what kind of hair style and she nailed it the first time. i love it. On my wedding day, she was on time and set up her stuff quick. She has good sense of humor and made my girls and me laugh the whole time we were getting ready. She made sure I was relax for my wedding. The pricing was awesome. Anna will work with you. Thank you Anna!!!!!!!

    Anna was so wonderful to work with before and during my wedding. The day of the wedding I changed my mind about wearing my hair up (even though we did an updo for the trial run), Anna was able to know exactly what I was thinking and did a beautiful job on my hair the day of the wedding - it stayed perfectly the whole night - even during the windy sunset photos. I would highly recommend her for any event!!

    Anna was GREAT! I thought I knew what I wanted, but come wedding day, she did my hair style 3 different times to get it just how I wanted. I was so worried she would hate me, but she is truly there for you and I can't thank her enough! I got so many compliments on how beautiful my hair and make up was. Would definitely recommend!

    Anna is super professional and has a lot of knowledge in what she does. I had different skin tones and different hair types and she did a great job on all of us! Anna also came to us at 9am with champagne and fruit and stayed with us until after the ceremony which ended around 5pm. Thank you so much Anna for making me look beautiful on my special day! You also did a great job on the bridal party and both MOB/MOG! If you are looking for someone to make you look beautiful on your special day than you definitely need to contact Anna!

    Anna was amazing. To start, the consult was easy and fun. The day of the wedding she showed up early to set up so she would be ready to go when we got there. When we arrived we had fruit and mimosas waiting for us. That in its self was A-mazing. Anna did the makeup and hair for myself and my four bridesmaids. She was really great at listening to what I vision for the girls and myself and making it come to life. She was even really good about me changing my hair style last minute. My only regret is not having Anna around later for touch ups after I had cried all my makeup off. I will definitely go to Anna again for my special hair and makeup needs. Thank you Anna for all that you did to make me and my girls beautiful on my wedding day.
