    Professional and Friendly!

    Domenica provided hair and makeup services for our daughter's wedding at Ponte Winery in Temecula, California. She and her team were professional and flexible with our schedule and bridesmaids. Domenica was a recommended vendor by Ponte Winery and everyone was very pleased with the results. Very thankful she was an integral part of our wedding.

    Your personal wedding beauty team

    Domenica and Nancy were my hair and makeup team for our September wedding and they did an outstanding job! Domenica really listens and wants to ensure you look your absolute best on your wedding day. I felt like my makeup trial wasn’t really me and wanted to change it completely for my wedding day and domenica beauty exceeded my expectations! They made sure I was happy with the end result. It helps a lot to be specific with her on what you want and domenica beauty will deliver! I felt amazing on my wedding day and my bridesmaids looked gorgeous as well! Domenica and Nancy are also super sweet! I would definitely recommend her and her team.

    Makeup by Domenica

    We booked Domenica Beauty for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the results. Domenica and her team are more than happy to make any changes to my hair and makeup, they showed up on time and did my makeup, family, and groom. Everyone looked amazing (even during dancing)!

    Beyond my expectations and amazing to work with

    I found Domenica Beauty online through the amazing reviews posted. I needed a hair and makeup resource for me (the mother of the groom) and four other ladies attending my son’s wedding. I liked the services Domenica offered, her techniques (as described in the reviews and on her site) and the fact she didn’t have ONE style. Her approach was very personalized and she worked to meet the client’s needs and specific age, hair and face types. I reached out through Domenica’s website and she quickly responded. I obtained pricing (which was very fair and in-line with the other San Diego hair & makeup vendors). We signed an agreement and her communications, invoicing and payment terms were fair and nicely executed. The day before our actual appointment, the bride’s hair vendor couldn’t make it. Domenica tackled this problem quickly and professionally – calling in resources to ensure she could help us out with this last-minute issue. I was so grateful that she was able to make this work (as was the bride!). Each and every person who was attended to by Domenica and her amazing makeup person Jen, was blown away by how they looked, how the team listened to what they wanted (and what they didn’t want) and each one felt beautiful (compliments were given from everyone at the event about how we looked). I highly recommend Domenica Beauty for your next event.

    They saved the day! Book them!

    I am not usually one to leave reviews but in this case I feel like I absolutely have to. The ladies at Domenica Beauty saved me! I had contracted hair and make up long before my wedding with another vendor. They ended up being completely unprofessional and ghosted my emails/calls leaving me to scramble to find someone 10 days before my wedding. Thankfully my wedding coordinator sent me to Domenica Beauty and we signed a contract that day. I was able to schedule a trial with Jen and Griselda and they were so kind and fun and I immediately felt at ease. They nailed the look I was going for. The day of my wedding everything flowed perfectly and I kept receiving compliments about how I still looked like myself, which I appreciated because I don’t like my makeup being too heavy. My mom and bridesmaids were also very impressed by how natural but done up they all looked. Jen is an amazing makeup artist! And Griselda achieved the exact look I wanted on all of my bridesmaids and my hair had such amazing volume all night! I really was so happy with how everything turned out. We all felt so beautiful and I am so thankful for Domenica Beauty for jumping in and saving the day!

    Great service from Domenica !

    Domenica did such a fabulous job on both my
    Hair and makeup for my wedding day. My long hair usually doesn’t hold curl but she worked her magic and the curls looked flawless al through the night. I loved my airbrush and was so happy how my makeup held up on my
    Outdoor event. I felt absolutely beautiful thanks to Domenica !

    Wonderful!

    Domenica and her team were wonderful to work with! My wedding hair and makeup couldn't have been more perfect and my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup as well. They were able to take my inspiration photos and create exactly what I had in mind!

    I highly Recommend!

    Domenica and her team have been very supportive during this covid time! I was unable to use her services for my wedding due to covid restrictions but she helped me have the bridal shower of my dreams by finding a team last minute to do my hair and makeup. I cant thank her and the team enough for how wonderful they treated me. Plus, my hair and makeup was fabulous! I got so many compliments. Jenn (makeup) and Griselda (hair) nailed it! I’m so happy that I chose Domenica Beauty and I look forward to using her services again for my wedding in the near future!!

    Outstanding Makeup Artist!

    Domenica did makeup for an intimate garden wedding. She paid careful attention to the needs and desires of each woman, and gave a lot of excellent advice. In addition, Domenica was such fun to be around. She is bright, entertaining, professional and engaging. Domenica patiently answered questions, and tailored her makeup to each of us. Dominica’s skill and personal attention added to an already very special day. If you are looking for a makeup and hair person for a special occasion, you won’t go wrong with Domenica!

    Absolutely perfect!

    I am so happy that I chose Domenica and her team for hair and make up for my wedding day! From the first time I talked to Domenica on the phone to ask for pricing I loved that she took the time to want to get to know about us. That meant so much to me. What confirmed why I should choose her was when she said I want the getting ready process to be fun for you and so you don’t have to worry. I had a large bridal party and I was so impressed with how her team stuck to her schedule. They worked so efficiently and with amazing work. I had the best day ever and that truly is because I was able to enjoy my day prior to the ceremony. I wasn’t stressed, or running late and I got to just hang out with the girls. Everyone looked gorgeous as well!! I am so thankful to have had Domenica Beauty as my hair and make up team!

    Best in the business!

    Domenica and her team are amazing! She does an excellent job on both hair and make up, not to mention she's a joy to work with, very flexible and open to all feedback on how you want your overall look to turn out. I cannot recommend her enough! You will not be disappointed.

    Best glam squad!

    Such a late review but SO NEEDED! Domenica and her team were amazing in helping myself and my bride tribe get ready for our big day! Since I do not live in Southern California I wasn't able to do a preview until the week before my wedding. However, Domenica assured me that this was not a big deal and talked me through what the process would entail leading up to the big event. I booked her months before the wedding without a preview and I cannot think of any other beauty team to do the job. Domenica was super helpful in organizing all the logistics for my bridal party to get glammed up as well as fit the timeline with my photographer. I loved getting to know Terrin and Nancy during my preview and couldn't wait for them to meet my girls and moms. I had 6 bridesmaids, 1 junior bridesmaid, 1 flower girl, and 3 moms. Talk about A BIG ORDEAL. Domenica's girls all came prepared to tackle on this crew and they all did it with such grace and professionalism. I was so happy with how each girl was able to have their own "look" while keeping some sort of consistency throughout the party. I HIGHLY recommend Domenica and her team for your event. You will not be disappointed!

    Amazing Experience with Domenicas Team! And I am so glad I bought her extensions!!!!

    Domenica and her team were honestly INCREDIBLE. First, my trial run. Domenica made me feel SO comfortable, and my mom and MOH and I seriously had the best girls night chatting with Domenica and working out both my hair and makeup run through a. She also gave me so many tips to work on and perfect for the few months before my wedding. She is SO down to earth, so hilarious and just a really nice girl! I love her!! She was super flexible and answered any questions I had right away through the months before my wedding. She even picked the most PERFECT custom extensions for my hair, which I am so glad I got because now I can wear them for date nights and special occasions!!! Thank you for the rec Domenica! Fast forward to my wedding day on October 6th. Domenica and her team were so timely and were very, very strict (in an amazing way) with the schedule to ensure everyone’s hair and makeup was complete before the photographer got there (which I have read online is a rare thing in the makeup world, and she nailed the timeline). She also was just pumping me up for the day and kept me relaxed and also was sort of protective over me to make sure everything was perfect. I’ve been in other weddings where the makeup artists just chatted with eachother and seemed cliquey, but that was not the case at all!!! We all had the best time! The morning with Domenica and my girls and Galway Downs was truly time that I really cherished on our big day, and Domenica has a lot to do with that! It’s the only part of the day that doesn’t go by in the blink of an eye, and girls if you want someone who knows their stuff and is super friendly and chill, I HIGHLY recommend Domenica!!!!! Thank you again for making my day and experience so so special!!

    Amazing!!!!!

    I could not be more thankful for Jen and Domenica! I encountered an issue with another artist that cancelled on me days before my wedding, and after contacting Domenica super last minute, she was able to get an artist to do my makeup. Jen did such an amazing job on my makeup, and she was so friendly and amazing! I got so many compliments on my makeup that day, I am so grateful! I definitely recommend you choose Domenica Beauty!

    Amazingly talented

    I have now used Domenica's hair and makeup services 3 separate times and I'll CONTINUE to use her for all my hair and makeup needs... She's AMAZING! I first booked her about a year and a half ago for my wedding preview/boudoir photo shoot, and immediately felt SO comfortable. I then booked her for my wedding where she had me AND my entire bridal party looking like super models. Most recently Domenica did my hair and makeup for my maternity photo shoot... at 5am! She never complained ONCE about how early it was! She's so professional, listens to exactly what your vision is, and talks you through every step of the process to make sure you get exactly what you're looking for...but even better! Even if you don't have a ton of ideas or a complete vision of what you want to look like, she asks the right questions to help you come up with a vision together and the final look is pure perfection! I have a friend and glam fairy godmother for LIFE (or as long as she's in the business)! I'll continue to recommend her to all friends and family!

    Great to work with!

    Domenica and Nancy were our hair and make up artists for our wedding day! I am so happy we got to work together because she is very thorough and takes time to listen to her clients. She gave us all the looks that we wanted and everyone was in love with their hair and make up! She is also a great conversationalist and puts everyone at ease in the room. Thank you so much Domenica for everything!

    Everyone Should Use Domenica!

    Domenica and her team are INCREDIBLE! Working with someone who is reliable and down to earth is something that is very important to me and she is exactly that. She not only made me and my bridal party look beautiful, but FEEL beautiful. She is so talented at her job and makes you feel just so special on your wedding day. She listens to the style you are wanting and uses her expert opinion and experience to create a masterpiece. My mother was hesitant on getting her makeup done because she wanted to look like herself and Domenica took the time to speak with her and make my mom feel just as special as I did and she looked incredible! I would undoubtedly recommend Domenica to anyone for any and every occasion. Thank you so much Domenica and team for everything you did, you are such a talented and special group of women. Keep killing it!!! XOXO

    Fabulous Experience

    Domenica's passion for making people feel beautiful inside & out is what I love most about working with her. When someone walks away after their trial with her, they are always glowing & smiling. When it came time for Domenica to do my hair & makeup, I was blown away by how I felt & looked. She took her time to make sure I happy with my look & she used quality products so my hair & makeup lasted all night long!

    I was lucky enough to find Domenica when the original hair/makeup stylist I reached out to took forever to answer my inquiry. We did a phone consultation (I live in FL) and clicked right away. She did a trial for me about a year before our wedding then I changed everything up on her (my dress, my hair color and style). She didn't miss a beat! Domenica did hair extensions for me and matched the color perfectly using just a photo. She made me look and feel gorgeous! I was leery of airbrushed makeup because I had never done it before but it looked amazing. Domenica asked all the right questions, listened to my feedback, made incredible suggestions and in the end made us all look amazing. Oh, and I cannot forget Natalie who helped out with hair. All of the girls looked beautiful! Domenica and Natalie suggested we bring photos of styles we liked then put their own spin on them to ensure they would work with our different hair types. Finally, I really loved how both Domenica and Natalie fit right in with us. It was a long day in a small bridal suite but they are very personable and were actually lots of fun to hang out with!!!

    Having known Domenica and her family for years, I have personally been able to witness her passion for weddings, helping others, along with her creativity and gift for helping brides look their best continue to bloom. Not only is Domenica extremely intelligent and genuine in her work, but she is always willing to go out of her way to accommodate your style and preference w the colors and look you prefer for your special day. Domenica was given 7 weeks notice for my sisters wedding that was scheduled in mid July. Bc we are family friends, she went above and beyond to make my sister’s day the best it could be with her gift of make-up artistry along with coordinating the other events that were already pre planned prior w her great staff. This just goes to show you the type of business woman she is, and the staff she trains due to the incredible work she provides throughout the state. We were so fortunate she was able to provide for my sister given last minute details to make this happen. I would recommend Domenica is a heart beat due to her excellent work, thoughtfulness, and dedication she gives to make you look and feel your best. Thank you, Domenica.

    We had a fantastic experience with Domenica! She was able to do my hair & make-up as well as my (4) Bridesmaids & mother of the bride all by herself before 1:00pm. We were on time for pictures, everyone's hair and make-up was excellent & it all lasted the entire night!

    If I lived in the Temecula area I would go back to Domenica to do my hair and make-up for another formal event. She was amazing!!!! Domenica was very professional and she always returned my calls. I still get compliments on my hair and make-up and my wedding was July 14, 2017. She made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. I would recommend Domenica for any bride in the Temecula area. You, will be in good hands.

    I was lucky enough to be referred to Domenica for beauty support for my wedding in September, and she was INCREDIBLE! She was flexible with changes, provided an amazing trial run to really test options, and truly did everything she could to make my girls and I feel perfect on my big day!! You can tell that she really cares about her brides. She was so fun as well as part of our getting ready process, I know my girls loved her too! I highly recommend her and her team if you're looking for a very talented beauty expert! She was worth every penny, especially after seeing the photos after the fact - reliving every moment. :)

    Domenica and her beauty crew are truly the best of the best when it comes to making sure your bridal hair and makeup on point. Domenica is super professional and experienced, she took away all the stress I had about managing the wedding morning. My bridesmaids and I had SO MUCH FUN getting our hair and makeup done and we all looked picture perfect the entire day.

    I am so glad that I found Domenica approx. 2 years ago. She does exceptional hair & makeup. I have referred her to many who also have not been disappointed.

    Domenica is AMAZING!! I could not have asked for a better team to trust with my hair and make up on my wedding day! They made my girls and I feel so beautiful with the air brush make up and their detailed hair styles they were able to do. Everything was perfect, and their time line was spot on, especially working on 13 girls, they really had to follow a strict schedule and we actually got done early enough to do more touch ups. Her team was a dream to work with and so much fun to hang out with on the morning of my wedding day. Domenica even stayed with me up until the photos after the ceremony to help with touch ups and make sure I looked and felt beautiful the entire day!

    Domenica is AMAZING! She did the hair & make up for my sister's wedding and we all felt beautiful. She was able to rock out 7 ppl's hair & make up all on her own, within the allotted time and exactly how each of us wanted to look. She uses high end makeup, which doesn't leave your skin feeling cakey and/or doesn't lead to breakouts. Can't thank her enough for making me and my sister (and the rest of the bridal party) feel like a million bucks!

    I used Domenica this last weekend in Temecula and she was wonderful! I was supposed to get married in Napa, and was displaced by the fires, and received her referral, called her in a panic, and she went out of her way to fit me in, even though she was already very busy! We made the schedule work, and even better- I loved my hair and makeup! She was fun and a pleasure to work with, which made my day that much more special! I highly recommend using Domenica Beauty!

    Where do I start...Domenica was AMAZING!!! I felt so incredibly relaxed on my wedding day knowing Domenica was so organized and had a timeline for each of my girls to get their hair and makeup done and she stuck to it! Her and her partner worked very quickly and gave all of my girls great suggestions for makeup and hairstyles if they were unsure! Everything flowed so smoothly!! Her and her partner were very friendly and easy going and we just really enjoyed their company that day! We all received great compliments on our hair and makeup and I felt absolutely beautiful! And the makeup looked flawless all day long!!! I would highly recommend Domenica and her amazing team any day!! Xoxoxo

    Where to begin with Domenica....AMAZING!!! I can not say enough positive and wonderful things about Domenica and Domenica Beauty. I could not have been any more pleased or chosen a better person to do the hair and makeup for my bridal party. She is not only incredibly professional but unbelievably talented, fun spirited, easy going and a sheer pleasure to be with. Her personality combined with her talent is an unbeatable combination. She truly made every person look their absolute very best; my grandmother commented that she has never looked better. She is incredibly skilled and talented and truly has a detailed eye. She made everyone look not only flawless but the quality of the products she uses are high end, not cheap store brands that will melt off an hour after your make-up is done. I can not thank Domenica enough for being a key figure in making my wedding perfect. Aside from just being awesome, she hung around until after our ceremony on her own time to do minor touch-ups for our photos. This was not a service that I asked for or even paid for, she did this just because. That is someone who truly cares about what she does and truly cares about making sure that every detail of your day is complete. From start to finish she made sure everyone was perfect.
    Prior to my event, Domenica and I had an in person meeting to go over day of details and just to put my mind at ease. While at this meeting, another vendor arrived to bring some of our rentals which were unacceptable. Domenica went above and beyond and actually stepped in to a position that was not even hers and managed to calm me down as I was going from 0-60 in to hysterics. She has done so much work in the Temecula area that she has formed relationships with other wedding vendors and actually managed to spear head the situation. Talk about going above and beyond! I would hire Domenica again in a heart beat for any special event that I am attending.

    Domenica and her team are amazing! They were great from start to finish. When I first emailed Domenica she was quickly to respond and very professional she took the time to tell me the difference between all the services that she provided, which I like because I am a girl who does not do a lot of hair and makeup and it was nice that she took the extra time. Herself and her team were on time to the venue and got us done when we needed to be (also huge for me) Her and her team made me and my bridesmaids feel beautiful and confident and the makeup and hair lasted all day (again huge for me) I would highly recommend Domenica Beauty and team for any hair and makeup needs. They are simply the best.

    Let's just start by saying Domenica is a total rockstar!!! Domenica Beauty handled my very large wedding party plus mom, grandma -hair and make up needs with ease. We looked incredible, flawless & sparkling- the pictures can attest to how gorgeous we looked thanks to Domenica and Shelby. She is professional yet fun and really takes her work seriously! I often dream of having Domenica as my personal daily stylist... we can't thank her enough for her beautiful work. She truly made me feel like a star and I know my bridesmaids and family felt they looked dazzling as well. I highly recommend Domenica!

    Domenica was great from start to finish. She knows how to put a bride at ease, is personable and professional and does an amazing job translating your ideas into a polished you for your big day. She and Shelby glammed up both myself, my wedding party and my mother-in-law and all were thrilled with their services. I can't recommend Domenica and Domenica Beauty enough.

    Thank you for making me shine and feel taken care of on my wedding day. Best. Day. Ever!

    Stop your search now, brides! Domenica of Domenica Beauty is the best of the best. She worked with me on every detail of my hair and makeup to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. Domenica has excellent style and suggestions. I knew as soon as I went for my hair and makeup trial that I found who I wanted to style me on my wedding day, but also so much more. Domenica is talented, classy, professional, down to earth, and so sweet. There aren't many vendors that will be in your face on your wedding day--make sure that you hire one that you want to talk to and connect with! She had an incredibly calming effect on me because I knew I would look amazing coming out of her chair and I knew I would genuinely enjoy talking and getting ready with her!

    Honestly, I don't know what I would of done without Domenica on my wedding day. Not only did she make me look and feel beautiful, her and Mom had built such a great relationship during the months before communicating about me that I felt like she was my best friend! Domenica did more then my hair and makeup, she put my shoes on for me, she carried my dress, she touched me up through the day, this girl is dedicated, sweet and stylish! She is now my forever Facebook and Instagram friend. Thanks Domenica for your kindness and support on my amazing day

    DOMENICA IS AWESOME! First of all, she's so cute and fun which makes the hair/makeup trials and the wedding day so much more enjoyable. I absolutely loved her. She did a killer job the day of my wedding on me,my bridesmaids, and other family members. Her and her team worked in a timely fashion and everyone loved their hair and makeup. We must have emailed a million times before the wedding and she is super responsive and helpful with all of my questions. You won't regret having her for your wedding!

    If you want simply the best for your wedding day, hire Domenica Beauty and her team! Truly amazing, I have never felt better about myself inside and out on my wedding day. She listens to you and makes you feel comfortable in your own skin even if you are not use to wearing makeup and doing your hair. Again she is simply the best.

    Domenica and her team are incredible! She is so sweet and so professional. Me and all of my bridesmaids got so many compliments on our hair and makeup. She completely nailed my vision and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. I know all of my bridesmaids who aren't married yet told me they are using Domenica Beauty no matter what. I seriously can't thank you and your team enough!

    Absolutely love Domenica! We really hit it off from the consultation and I even drive 45 min now just to have my hair done by her. I had seven bridesmaids plus myself doing hair and makeup and she killed it! I received so many compliments. She made me feel gorgeous and my girls were stunning! My hair and makeup made it all the through dancing even! She does airbrush makeup and now I am hooked. It really felt like I was working with a friend leading up to and after the wedding.

    Domenica Beauty was amaaaaazing! Can I just say... I had 14 bridesmaids (true story), and the day could not have gone smoother. The team of 3 got hair and makeup done for all of my lovely ladies and myself in time for a 5pm wedding, and no one was stressed or rushed. I'm not a makeup person, so I was super picky about how my makeup looked (I wanted to look like myself). Domenica was awesome about it -- she made adjustments when I needed them and was super patient. Love her!! Book her.

    My sister used Domenica for her wedding and she was amazing! She made all of us bridesmaids feel beautiful and accomplished the look that each one wanted. The mothers of the bride and groom were out of this world! They looked so beautiful. She has a great ability to capture your beauty and heighten it. She was breeze to work with from my sister's trial through to the wedding day and we both used her blow outs before the rehearsal dinner. I loved her and work so much I booked her for my upcoming wedding!

    Domenica is such an incredibly talented and sweet person-just the kind you want in your bridal suite on your big day. She has great experience with hair and makeup and knows how to make you look and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself. I can't say enough about her, her team, and the whole process of working with them. It felt so natural having her around, all of my bridesmaids, my mom and my mother-in-law felt relaxed knowing that they were in good hands and turned out looking incredibly gorgeous. She really listens to what you want and how you want to look which is not easy to find in a makeup artist. Her airbrush makeup is so gorgeous and flawless but looks so natural-I wish I could wear it every day!!

    I needed a professional makeup artist for my daughter who was modeling a wedding dress for a bridal show at South Coast Winery in Temecula. It was all a bit last minute for me to put together, but Domenica came through like champ! Super professional, very friendly and the hair & makeup were fantastic! She used air brush make up and spent time to make sure the model looked incredible!. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them in a heartbeat. Amazing job!

    Domenica was wonderful to work with! She made me feel gorgeous on my wedding day! We had the Domenica Beauty team do all of the bridesmaids' hair and makeup as well and they all felt beautiful. They were finished with all the girls' treatments early (before the photographers/videographers arrived) which helped us stay on schedule on such a busy day. She also provided me with a "touch-up kit" to keep my makeup looking fresh during pictures and the ceremony. I don't wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis & was a little bit nervous getting airbrush makeup done. However, Domenica did a wonderful job making me feel beautiful by simply "enhancing" my features instead of loading on too much eyeshadow.

    Thank you, Domenica! Loved working with you. Give me a shout if you're ever in Oklahoma! :)

    If you are looking for a personable and professional team to get you ready for your big day, then Domenica Beauty is the right answer. I worked with Domenica herself and I could not have asked for a better experience. I was looking for someone to do the whole process from start to finish (including coloring my hair, starting six months before the wedding). We had our wedding in Temecula, CA and Domenica came to the venue with an assistant for no extra charge since she is a local vendor!! This was a huge bonus for me and my girls as I did not want to have to travel on my wedding day. She also does airbrush makeup! Big bonus for brides that are going to be outside or have very oily skin (I checked both those boxes and looked just as good by the time the wedding was over). Overall Domenica and her team are not only skilled and knowledgeable, but they are personable and comfortable to work with. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Domenica!!

    Incredible styling experience

    Working with Domenica was an absolute dream. Her talent is undeniable—she has an incredible eye for style and a gift for bringing a vision to life in a way that feels both elevated and deeply personal. From start to finish, every look she styled was thoughtful, cohesive, and completely stunning.

    Domenica worked closely with me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law—each with their own tastes, needs, and personalities—and somehow made everyone feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully styled. She struck the perfect balance between honoring individual styles and creating a unified, elegant aesthetic.

    What truly set Domenica apart was her flexibility and calming presence. She was endlessly patient, open to ideas, and always quick with a thoughtful solution when plans shifted. Her professionalism and reassurance made such a difference, especially in the moments that could have easily become stressful.

    We also deeply appreciated her candor. Domenica never hesitated to give honest, constructive guidance, which helped all of us make confident decisions. Her combination of creativity, expertise, and real-talk was exactly what we needed.

    Thanks to Domenica, everyone not only looked amazing but felt amazing—and that confidence showed in every photo and memory from the day. We’re so grateful for her support, heart, and vision. If you’re looking for someone to help you look and feel your best on one of the most important days of your life, Domenica is the one!

    Shelby did an amazing job for the entire wedding party and Mother of the bride (me!) my daughter has a lot of hair but wanted to wear it down. Shelby styled it perfectly and it held up quite well all night long. My hair was difficult to work with, but the style she gave me also was lovely and looked great all night long. The wedding party had similar styles but with a unique touch for each of the girls. Shelby clearly has a lot of experience and we highly recommend her!

    Good experience!

    Domenica Beauty did a great job with the hair & makeup for my wedding and bridal party. I was particularly blown away with the attention to detail at my bridal previews. The artists spent lots of extra time making sure everything was how I wanted it to be! I’m only giving 4 stars because my personal hair & makeup style didn’t really align with what the artists typically do, so I felt like there were some hiccups with wanting a more unique style. I also felt like my hair at the wedding day was rushed and therefore looked pretty different from the preview day, but that is also a case of weddings just being crazy and timelines being hard to stick to. Overall, domenica made me feel absolutely beautiful and my hair & makeup looks amazing in the photos. Also they will definitely put in extra effort to make a unique look a success which I just so appreciate!

    She is personal and wants to get to know you!

    Domenica is very personal and wants to get to know you, your significant other and your family. I had a great experience from the first phone call (yes she will want to talk to you on the phone) to the last bit of lipstick. My hair turned out AMAZING and my makeup stayed on ALL day. Check out her instagram to see her amazing work. She does require 8 services (so bride makeup/hair + 6 other services) many of my bridesmaids did not want hair/make up done but I was able to make it to 8 with my mom getting her hair and makeup done. Overall great experience and highly recommend.

    I worked with Sam from Domenica's team for my bridal makeup and for my bridesmaids' makeup. She was an excellent makeup artist who was punctual, professional, and did amazing work. The booking process with Domenica was relatively easy, she is very responsive via text, and our only issue was with repeated misspellings of my email so that I was missing some correspondence (although she quickly remedied this when we talked over the phone). I was extremely happy with Sam's work, she made me look the best I have ever looked and I am so happy that I booked her for my wedding.

    Flawless Elegance

    Overall, I was happy with my experience with Domenica Beauty! From start to finish, they were pleasant to work with. Their attention to detail and expertise in creating the perfect bridal look for myself and my bridesmaids truly impressed me. Not only did they listen carefully to my/everyone’s preferences, but they also offered valuable suggestions that enhanced the overall appearance. On the big day, they were not all punctual, which made me very nervous. If hair and makeup is behind, the whole day is behind. One of the girls’ doing hair was more than 35 minutes late. However, we remained mostly on time, and they were calm, and professional, making me feel more relaxed and confident. The results were simply stunning—I received countless compliments throughout the day. I would recommend Domenica Beauty to brides looking for talented and personable hair and makeup artists who will make you feel absolutely beautiful on your special day!

    Incredible wedding day experience!

    Domenica was very sweet throughout the process and always very quick to respond to any communication. For my wedding day, I had Jaime (hair) and Terrin (makeup) who were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They both showed up early to set up and helped to keep the morning wedding day mood fun and stress-free! They were open to any and all hair and makeup requests the girls and myself threw their way and delivered with amazing results. Everyone felt so beautiful. I especially felt so beautiful, I can't even put it in words. I typically wear very minimal makeup and Terrin completely adapted her technique to still give me the wedding day glam without feeling overwhelmed by the amount of makeup. I am so so happy that they were apart of my wedding day! I definitely recommend if you're having your wedding anywhere near the Temecula, CA area to request Jaime and Terrin. :)

    Domenica was so charismatic and personable from day one. She was quick to respond to my first inquiry and was pleasant over the telephone. You can tell immediately that she truly loves what she does and has a passion for making her brides and the bridal party feel comfortable and beautiful. Not only was she well-prepared with a variety of quality make-up (colors and textures), make-up tools and hair products but she was also well-organized and kept her workspace neat and tidy. She really cares about your life outside of wedding planning and she shares just enough about her life to make you feel comfortable. She prepared my bridal party and me just on time for our pictures and my makeup and hair was exactly the way I wanted it. She is open to suggestions and she also gives her suggestions without making you feel pressured. She is also very appropriate around moms and young kids. Ashley was Domenica’s partner that day and she did amazing make up that really enhanced the beauty of my bridal party. I had full confidence in Domenica’s work that day and I know you will not be disappointed by her work. My only constructive criticism for her is that the honeybook system she used was a little confusing and difficult to navigate through. There was one service that was missed but I think this is because it was a new system for Domenica and her assistant at first. I’m sure by now they have all the wrinkles nicely pressed and all figured out. Also it can take a few days or so for Domenica to respond by email and I think it’s just because she is very busy working with other brides and also at the salon she is at during the week. But be patient and she will come through and answer all questions.

    Domenica and one assistant did great work in making me and my bridesmaids and mother feel beautiful on my wedding day. Prior to the wedding I had my consultation with Domenica at a salon in Fallbrook, which went great! I was happy with my makeup and she suggested I get my hair layered before the wedding in order for the curls to last longer. We communicated before the wedding via email and she utilizes Honeybook to create your day of timeline and for payment. We had several issues with Honeybook and with the timeline not being correct.

    On the day of the wedding Domenica was suppose to arrive at 7:30 am, however she was an hour late as she arrived around 8:30! The first 2 bridesmaids were suppose to start at 8:15 and instead were started on around 9:00 am! This frustrated me and put the timeline that I had sent to the bridal party behind. Domenica and her assistant were rushing on the final bridesmaid at the end and she was not happy with her hair, which she ended up curling herself at the wedding venue later.

    All the girls were very happy with their make-up, however I was very disappointed with our hair. Everyone's curls, including mine, had fallen out within an hour of leaving our hotel and arriving at the venue! My hair in our first-look photos is barely curled and after the ceremony, I had a bridesmaid re-curl my hair. It was a very hot day and we were all sweating, but I feel that a good stylist who does weddings all the time should know what product to use in order to hold a curl for a wedding day!

    We were all given a lip kit before leaving the hotel, however there was barely any lipstick in the kit for re-touches! I felt that I as the bride should of been given enough lip color to last me the day.

    Overall, Domenica and her assistant were professional, super sweet, and held great conversations as they worked on our hair and make-up. I expected my hair and all the girls' hair to hold all day for the price that we had paid.

    I was really disappointed in my overall experience...

    Quality of service: My hair was done in curls around 12:00 on the day of the wedding. They did not stay tight, and required touchup by one of my talented bridesmaids by ceremony time, which was around 4pm. Two of my bridesmaids were also unhappy with how quickly their curls fell out of place. My mom had a hair and makeup trial by Domenica prior to the event. Despite having a schedule set, as requested by Domenica, we were running behind and Domenica asked her assistant to do one of my mom's services. My mom was upset because she had paid specifically for Domenica's services prior to the wedding so she would be sure that she knew exactly what she was getting the day of the wedding. With that said, Domenica's assistant was a rock star and my mom looked fabulous.

    Responsiveness: Everything was great at first when I went to book with her. As time went on and I tried to contact her, her voicemail was often full and I had to follow up multiple times to get a response on occasion over the course of 3-5 days, even when I texted if her voicemail was full.

    Professionalism: Had 12 services total on 10 people (30+ min for each service). She wanted to start at 7:30 in hotel and move to venue later in the morning. This was for a 4:30 ceremony. She was difficult about me requesting 2 stylists instead and wanted to charge extra. Come to find out per conversation she wanted to do another wedding that afternoon. Basically, she tried to make her problem mine. She only agreed when I told her I was unhappy and I was looking at other options. She was also very passive aggressive towards my mom the day of the wedding. It was so obvious, that even one of my bridesmaids made a comment about how uncomfortable it was.

    Value: 5/5 for makeup, 2/5 for hair. Makeup was flawless and lasted all night. Great styles, didn't hold at all.

    Flexibility: only was flexible when I told her that I was looking into other avenues

    Not recommended / Avoid

    I unfortunately did not have a good experience with Domenica Prestinizi for the following reasons. When you book Domenica Beauty you are not guaranteed Domenica herself. When my wedding was postponed from April to October due to COVID she was not willing to work with me when one of the girls could not make it due to her living in the UK (she could not leave the country due to COVID restrictions), and another girl unable to attend due to going through chemotherapy. She told me that I had to find people to replace them. Her monetary invoices she sent never added up and did not make sense. Good luck trying to get an email response in a timely manner because I would wait weeks sometimes before hearing from her. I would have to email her multiple times before she would respond. She does charge extra if a person already has in hair extensions which was not stated in the contact I had signed. I had emailed her the total number of girls for hair and makeup and she put that number under bridesmaids and upon reviewing the estimate she then added me separate (on top of the number I gave her) as the bride so I had an extra person for hair and makeup and she gave me a hard time that I could not subtract girls & I had to explain to her the total number included me. It was a chore planning the trial date as I had told her multiple times about my work schedule and it was not easy to coordinate a date with her. Once I received the confirmation date email it had the incorrect date that we had discussed many times and she then blamed the mistake on her assistant. Do not waste your time with Domenica Beauty. I am truly appalled that she is considered one of the preferred vendors at Galway Downs with all the unnecessary garbage I had to go through. I would never recommend Domenica Beauty to a friend or an enemy.

    Domenica was supposed to be the stylist for my wedding. But after months of planning and effort on my part, I finally was able to do a preview with her. It was EXTREMELY sub par. I asked for a loose braided style because I have very long hair and what she gave me looked like a rats nest. I also had her do airbrush makeup on me to see what it would look like and she not only made me look awful and older, I left there feeling horrible because I was so unhappy. My wedding was only a couple months away and I had already given her an $800 deposit. Which she never returned and had the audacity to ask me to pay for the horrible preview as well. Which I consequently DID NOT. Why give her an extra $160 on top of the $800 she already swiped from me. Thank God I found a kind more experienced soul to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day which turned out perfect. But shame on Domenica for what she did to me and how awful and stressed she made me feel.
