    Dallas is the best!

    Dallas is incredible! She was responsive and fun to work with every step of the way. My trial run for my wedding makeup went better than I could've expected and she successfully replicated the look on my wedding day while accounting for the couple of changes I requested. I felt more beautiful than I ever have on my wedding day, so I know I made the right choice in hiring her. I highly recommend Dallas!

    Superstar!

    Dallas is a superstar! I found her when I first moved to the Portland area 3 years ago and she's been doing my hair ever since; she's even started doing my roommate's hair too! So when it came time to find a Hair & Makeup artist for my wedding there was no doubt in my mind that I was going to hire Dallas! She is very professional but also easy to talk to (a very good quality when you're sitting in their chair for a couple hours!); above all, her work is out of this world!

    Exceptional experience! Amazing work!

    I cannot recommend Dallas’s wedding services enough! She and Kayla were so amazing to work with and she did an incredible job on my wedding party. I am super picky about my hair and makeup but it was absolutely flawless and I couldn’t believe how well it lasted. All of my bridesmaids were so impressed and in love with there hair and makeup, many said it was the best they had ever had. Not too mention she was super fun and easy to work with, I felt so comfortable through the entire process! Plus on top of it the added convenience of not having to travel to the salon made the day so much more relaxed! I would 100% recommend Dallas to anyone getting married she is a superstar professional!!! Plus her husband MacCoy did an amazing job on my photos, I’m in love! Book them together, it was one of the best choices I made during the planning process.

    Dallas is the BEST!

    I loved working with Dallas!

    After a terrible experience with another local Hair/Make-Up artist, Dallas took all my anxiety away. She, and her assistant Kayla, were fun to work with and made our bridal party look amazing!

    Dallas did an amazing job on my makeup and hair before our engagement shoot. She was accommodating in the fact that I asked her to do my hair on a short notice and was super sweet.

    Dallas made all of my hair and makeup dreams come true! I had a large bridal party so getting ready got a little chaotic, but Dallas made sure everyone was taken care of. She is incredibly sweet and easy to work with! I highly recommend looking into her husband for photography too. They are a fantastic team and both super fun people. Our friends & family all loved them!

    It's been almost a year since my wedding. Dallas was wonderful, she did the best job I have ever had with hair/makeup and made it fit what I was wanting. She was the only makeup artist who was accomodating to my situation and was very fair. Loved talking with her too, she's so personable :) Thanks again Dallas!! Our wedding was way better because of you!

    Dallas was off the charts phenomenal. She was very prompt in responding to my emails, she was on time, professional both during the trial with me and on the morning of the wedding. She brought another artist, Whitney, with her to assist with all the hair and makeup (there were 10 of us who needed to be done throughout the day) and Whitney was just as wonderful. They both showed up with positive attitudes and serious skills. I was so impressed with the extra time they took to help my best friend with her look. She is both legally blind and has issues with makeup reacting with her skin. They took her concerns seriously and used a combination of their own products as well as her own foundation and magnifying mirrors so she knew what they were doing. At the last minute we added on another woman to the lineup (she was doing a lot of work with the dress fittings) and both Dallas and Whitney added her onto their total with barely a blink. Both of them were utterly amazing and I was so impressed with both of them!

    I feel so lucky that I stumbled upon Dallas for my wedding day hair and makeup…she was absolutely amazing to work with! She is so sweet and responsive and was able to take my random Pinterest photos and create a look that was absolutely perfect for me. There were 7 of us, so she brought Alyssa along with her, and the two of them did an incredible job of styling each girl in a way that fit them. They were relaxed and fun and got everyone done early so we had more girl time that day. My mom and grandma both were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen them and I felt the same way. I could not recommend her more!! But book soon, my sister-in-law has already booked her for next year!

    Dallas was perfect! I needed someone to do my hair and makeup with only a few days notice and only an hour time slot to get it done on the actual day. She did EXACTLY what I wanted. Everyone commented that I looked fabulous. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!

    Dallas does an AMAZING job with ALL of her clients. Although, I'm biased because I am one of her clients She's funny, personable, professional, and quite talented. On my wedding day I felt as if everything was falling apart and the one person who actually got me to breathe was Dallas. She did my hair and makeup through me moving around, freaking out, and more. Dallas is truly the only person I will ever trust with my face and hair for important events like this. Will foreverrrrrr come to Dallas!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dallas and her makeup and hair services. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and handled everything with such professionalism and grace. She listened carefully to my vision, and after showing her my Pinterest inspirations she made my hair and makeup look even better than the pictures. I have extremely fine hair, and she helped come up with solutions to make my hair look thick and plentiful. All of my bridesmaids were beyond thrilled with how their hair and makeup looked also. Dallas is top-notch and I feel incredibly lucky to have found her for my big day. I strongly recommend Merkley Artistry-- you will look and feel like the best, most beautiful version of yourself. Thanks again Dallas, much love to you. <3

    Dallas was amazing. I would recommend her to any of my family/friends in a heartbeat. She was very easy to work with and really listened to what I wanted and applied it. My eyes are pretty sensitive to the elements (bright light, wind, etc.) and the day of the wedding it was cold and breezy and one of my eyes kept watering and the makeup help up perfectly! My hair turned out exactly how I wanted and stayed perfectly in place all night. I couldn't have been happier with how my hair and makeup turned out and how great her services were.

    Dallas did an AMAZING job ony my hair and makeup for our wedding. She also did my mother's and bridesmaids make-up which looked AMAZING as well! From the beginning Dallas was so easy to communicate with, she got back to me pretty quickly was SUPER nice, accommodating and over-all easy to work with.

    At my trial, she really made sure i loved everything (which I did) and has a friendly personality! On my big day she came to the AirBnB we had and did everyone's make-up according to plan. After my crew, she hit up my groom's hotel to touch him up and even touched up some of his friends! Which was really appreciated because I didn't think that was a part of the groom's package. She may have just done it anyway, which was really nice.

    My Photo looked equally amazing! I'm so happy I choose her! If we have any other big event where I need to get dolled up Dallas would be the first to contact!

    Dallas did an OUTSTANDING job on hair and makeup for not only some of my bridesmaids but other friends and family as well. She was incredibly flexible with me from day one, which was so helpful when my mother wanted to get her hair and makeup done last minute. Dallas is not only a talented and highly efficient hair and makeup artist but a delight to spend the day with! She made the entire process feel so effortless, letting me focus where I needed to the day of the wedding. I'd recommend Dallas to anyone!

    Dallas is beyond talented and made me look like an actual princess on my wedding day. She did my make up and helped with my hair as well. I had people all night long raving about how amazing I looked and commenting on my make up over and over. Not only is she a wonderful artist, but also so much fun to work with! She made the process easy and stress free. I can never thank her enough for making my day so special.

She really takes an interest in her clients and fills the entire day with laughs and smiles! Dallas helped make my wedding day perfect and made me feel amazing and beautiful she's the best! Choose Dallas if you want the best!

    At 52 years young, I had given up on the fairy tale wedding of my dreams where I could feel and look like a princess the entire day. Until I met my husband that is. I went back and forth on whether or not to spend the money on a professional make-up artist. I wanted to look as good as I could on our special day so I hired Dallas Merkley Artistry. So?? Did I look good? NO!!
    I looked ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! It was worth every penny!! The skills Dallas has are incredible. I told her that when my man saw me coming down the aisle I wanted to have the "Wow" factor going on, and I did!! I felt more beautiful than I ever have. Just like a Princess. Dallas is so talented and her professionalism is beyond her years. I can't say enough or thank her enough for helping make my wedding day the best day of my life. I HIGHLY recommend anyone to seek out Dallas Merkely Artistry.

    Dallas was AWESOME to work with and I am so happy she ended up doing my hair/makeup on my wedding day. She made me look and feel beautiful. She was sweet, fun and very nice to work with. Following our trial run I gave Dallas feedback on things I would like slightly different, she noted the changes and absolutely nailed everything on wedding day! Things couldn't have turned out more perfect. Dallas also made all of my bridesmaid's hair look amazing. Her prices were reasonable and she was very timely to arrive and get through each service. I would highly recommend.

    Dallas is an AMAZING artist, she did my full makeup and hair and it was fabulous. She is very professional, knowledgeable, and prompt. Definitely worth every penny spent. I considered going with a "value" makeup/hair artist but i'm so glad I didn't, the quality of the services provided were worth twice as much as she charged. SHE'S AMAZING!!!!!
