Dee and her team are AMAZING

Unfortunatley, the wedding was during COVID so we had to make a lot of adjustments, including having poor Dee and her team show up at 5:15 in the morning. She and her team had seven of us to coordinate for both hair and makeup and many of us had updos and lashes, but the results on every girl was stunning. I had so many compliments as mother of the bride and my daughter was out of a fairytail Dee and her girls were delightful to work with and so professional, espeically under considerable time constraints. Working with Dee is like working with a friend. She was a delight. I am planning on using them the next time I have an event. She is the BEST.

Dee was an absolute pleasure to work with! I felt like a princess as she worked her magic for hair & makeup! Bride, Bridesmaids & MOB hair & makeup held up so well - we had an early start at 7am & ended the evening around 11:30pm. I couldn't picture my wedding without Dee & her eye for perfection. Highly recommend!

Dee is so wonderful and fun to work with! I found her through Instagram and researched different wedding websites to check her reviews. They're all great! I did not find one negative comment and that says a lot! I also like that she post her work online and give credit to her brides. She was very responsive and accommodating of the changes I had to make until the day of the wedding. All my bridesmaids, the moms and sisters who got their make-up done, loved her and Phaithe. They all enjoyed the getting-ready process. I also appreciate the time she spent making sure my hair and make-up look good during the photoshoots. Service and quality is top-notched. I highly recommend her and Phaithe to brides. You'll look absolutely stunning on your wedding day.

We used Swell Beauty for a wedding ceremony on the beach. All of the bridal party was from out of state and had flown in the day of the wedding. Time was very limited as we arrived at 3 and the ceremony was at 6:00 pm. Dee was so unbelievably helpful with the logistics. We arrived at our hotel and were met by Dee who set up an amazing selection of makeup. She finished hair and makeup within an hour and a half. Let me say this about Dee- she is the most wonderful lady. You will leave feeling not only beautiful but like you made a new best friend. When I looked in the mirror after my hair and makeup was completed I could not believe how beautiful I looked. She did such a perfect job. While talking to Dee she discovered that a photographer hadn't been hired since it was for a small elopement ceremony. She asked if she could take photos for us so that we would have them in the future. She came with us, took the most amazing photos and shared this special moment with us. Swell Beauty is the easiest vendor I have ever worked with. She did a gorgeous job and made our trip and ceremony easy. You would be crazy not to hire them!

Swell Beauty and Makeup Artistry were just terrific for my daughter, Allie, at her wedding and me, her mother, and the whole wedding party. Dee and Phaithe were so talented at doing our makeup. Everyone said we looked wonderful.
As for their ability to work with our hair, they were also brilliant. My daughter has long hair which she wore up, It was gorgeous. And my hair looked thick even though it is not. It helped our confidence to know we looked our best. Also, Dee and Phaithe always kept their cool under pressure. We loved them.

I don't know where to start. We hired this amazing company back in 2012 for my sisters wedding. We loved them back them and love them even more after my wedding on October 1st, 2016. Everything from the trial to my wedding day was an amazing experience. It was the best day of my life and I felt like a million bucks thanks for these ladies!! Highly HIGHLY recommend! Thanks again for everything ladies!!!

Dee and Phaithe were so awesome and made all my bridesmaids looks stunning! They are very talented with their work and did great at listening to the style of makeup and hair I was wanting! All the girls were so happy with their hair and makeup and the pictures definitely prove it! They are also very good with time and kept us right on schedule! If you want true professionals, Swell Beauty is the one to choose!!

Dee and Phaithe did my hair, my mom's, and all 5 of my bridesmaid's hair for my wedding in May. They were nothing short of spectacular. I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair and Dee worked with me at my trial until I was completely satisfied. Knowing how talented Dee is with hair, I had absolutely no stress the morning of my wedding. I was relaxed and able to enjoy getting ready with my bridesmaids. Dee went above and beyond for me on my wedding day and I cannot thank her enough. They showed up to my house on time and completely prepared. Most importantly every one of our hairstyles stayed through the entire day, from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m! Honestly, you can't find a better wedding hairstylist in all of Orange County!

I love Dee she made me feel like a bride the first day I met her. I was going through so much with my wedding coordinator Priscilla Granger and after shedding some tears with her and Phaithe they gave me the confidence in needed to move forward. She not only master our hair and makeup but she became my wedding coordinator assisting with making sure that my day was perfect when my wedding coordinator decided not to show on my wedding day. We all felt like we were getting married my girls were so happy and my mom said that she felt wonderful they even covered up the burn scars on her back. Words cannot express how Dee and her team made me feel. No matter what event I am having I will always choose swell beauty

It is worth doing a trial with Dee before the event so that you know the day of how your hair and makeup will be done.

Nowadays you have to be super careful with who you trust to be apart of your special day and make sure they are legitimate. Let me start off with saying you've found the right business!! I went in for my trial recently and was blown away by the amazing detail that went into making my dream, and what I saw in pictures a reality. Dee was super attentive and genuinely asked how everything was going planning wise. She had vendors ready at hand if I needed suggestions too. She's real, down to earth and genuine with a huge heart. I can not wait for my big day coming up and know I'm in the best of hands possible with Swell Beauty. HIGHLY recommend, you'd be crazy to go with anyone else. Thank you Dee! Love, Andrea

Dee was great! Very responsive, very helpful and most importantly, she was able to take my vision and inspirations and make them work for me! I had my trial for hair and make-up and it was awesome; I felt so beautiful! It helped me to get to know Dee and her staff better and to put my mind at ease that I am in great hands for the day of my wedding.

Worth every dollar! On the biggest day of my life, Dee and her fantastic team of artists came in like a breeze to my set up room and turned my MOH, Mom and myself into an absolute dream of beauty and elegance. The ladies were fun and added great conversations to our laid back, champagne-sipping, morning. The hair services were a must, no question. But if you are debating make-up, I always thought - "I'm pretty good at applying my own face, I got this." No. No I do not. In comparison to how I look on a special night I have done myself to how I came out as a bride on my wedding day, it was SO worth relieving the stress from myself of "getting it perfect" and allowing them to effortlessly go above and beyond. But what about just a general mall line applying it for you? Just recently before my day, I was in a wedding party who decided to get their make-up done the day-of for the first time at a MAC counter nearby. The people were great but they were constantly having to go help customers who came up and then check them out of their purchase. They were busy but then also, they are seeing is for the first time and based on our color we are wearing, they do their thing on our face pallet. Of course I still came out looking amazingly different than usual but I wasn't happy with a lot of the colors and styling they decided to go with. As a bride, it was crucial for me to have a Trial appointment with Swell to go over every detail and if there was something that I wasn't 100% about on THAT day, then the changes and all points were noted for when it came to the BIG day. And it was fabulous! The artists were there on-site for me and my party alone. They listened to all our likes and dislikes and made sure we recieved what we intended before they were fully completed in their services. Such great people!!

I found Swell Beauty on Instagram, and had taken a good look through their photos to see their work. I really loved what I saw and ended up booking them for my wedding ! Dee and Phaithe were the artists who did my hair and makeup for my bridal trial, and they were very sweet and understanding. They listen to what you have to say, and try their best to recreate that to ensure you're happy. They are also easy to talk to and very personable. I am looking forward to seeing them again for my wedding day ! :)

Beautiful wedding makeup! The team worked quickly and responded to requests from myself and the wedding party (ex: mother of the groom did not want fake eyelashes, so they did not insist on putting them on and did more subtle makeup for her the way she wanted).

Dee, the owner of Swell Beauty, did my hair and make up for my wedding day. She exceeded my expectations with her talent and professionalism!

I am so so so happy with my choice to hire Dee for hair and make-up on our wedding day. I met with Dee for a consultation prior to the big day and she was fantastic in providing advice on how to do my hair and make-up (as I usually don't wear a lot) and even helped me find a belt for my dress from her shop! Dee is the sweetest person and instantly makes you feel comfortable, plus she was excellent at communicating in the months leading up to the wedding. Even though our wedding location was over an hour from Dee's shop, she and her two assistants showed up ON TIME, if not a little bit early on the big day, which was so important as they had to do hair and makeup for 8 people. Thanks to her, we were running on time all day long! Dee can do an updo in minutes and it looks beautiful and intricate and like it took an hour to do. Plus, everyone's hair and makeup lasted throughout the whole day. I can't wait to have an excuse to hire Dee again. She is the best and I would highly recommend you hire her for your wedding or next event!

Dee was absolutely amazing to work with and quickly understood my style.

Two weeks before my big day... I was forced to find another makeup artist. Given that we were having an indian wedding, I needed someone that could not only do make up for indian complexion, I also needed someone who could assist in pinning my heavy dupatta on my head. Dee was available and I went for a two hour trial to go over my look for the wedding ceremony and reception.

I don't wear makeup and don't really know terms to describe what I like and don't like. I showed Dee a few pictures of what I like, and some of what I didn't really like... and let her go to work. I absolutely loved her suggestions and found her really flexible when my sister or I would ask her to change something. I ended up having her do my hair and makeup for 4 different wedding events (indian weddings are a week long) even though I didn't do a trial for two of them, and LOVED EVERY SINGLE ONE of my looks. I actually loved them more than I did during my trial. I received numerous compliments from others... and even till today people still comment about how amazing my makeup looked at my events.

She also brought her assistant with her to do hair and makeup for the ladies in my family. All of them looked great as well and were all happy with the work Swell Beauty did.

One thing that really stood out to me about Dee was how professional she was. Without my request, she went out on her own to buy additional colors of eye shadow that she thought would work better for my outfits. I got married in SD and needed to get ready at 4am. Dee was there... ON TIME. She was ALWAYS ON TIME even though the events weren't close by to her studio. Not only that, she always finished doing my hair and make up ON TIME.... which is something I really value.

I highly recommend Dee and Swell Beauty for your hair and makeup needs. You won't be disappointed.

My hair and makeup for my wedding was extremely important to me. I had very specific ideas of what I wanted, and Dee listened to my ideas and took it to the next level. The finished product was even better than I thought was possible. I have never looked and felt more beautiful.

I cannot recommend Dee and her team enough. She did hair and makeup for me, my MOB, and hair for my bridesmaids for my wedding in April.

To begin, I had a trial at her studio in Laguna Beach. It was a super fun, low stress experience. I showed her some pictures of what I liked, but instead of just copying those she created something totally unique for me. I got SO many compliments on my hair I can’t believe it! And the makeup was also great. She was also really good at listening to my feedback. When I felt like the makeup was a little too heavy, she took some off, and recalled that when it was time for the wedding several months later.

She and her assistant were also great on the day. Whoever you hire you should really like them because you’re basically going to hang out with them for hours on your wedding day! And I did really love Dee. She was a very warm, calming presence on what could be a stressful day.

Dee was extremely professional and quick to respond to texts and emails. She seems to truly love her work and it shows. Hire her!

Dee is amazing! She is extremely professional. She looked at the photos I brought to my trial for less than a minute and she created a beautiful braided bun that I absolutely loved! My bridesmaids loved her and her assistant, they were prompt, professional and absolutely amazing each of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup!

Every time I look at my pictures I love the way my hair and makeup look.

Dee is the best! Do yourself a huge favor and check this vendor off your list!!

Dee and Swell Beauty were absolutely amazing! I booked them only two weeks before my wedding - I had a hard time with the costs of everything in Calfornia and hadn't found anything I was satisfied with. At first, I was a little thrown off by the price, but it was worth every penny! I had my hair and makeup done as well as the trial run about a week before. They took everything I was describing into consideration and I came out with the exact look I was going for that was better than I could even begin to imagine!
They were very patient, attentive, and kind. they came to my house for both the trial and the actual event at the worst possible evening and morning hours, and were very flexible with my availability.
Would absolutely hire them again in a heartbeat if I had to do it all over.

Dee and her staff were amazing! Dee is a wonderful person that wants to make your day be perfect. My hair and make up came out exactly as I had wanted! My bridesmaids looked great. She was professional from the first day I met her. We kept in good communication throughout the whole process. She even came back after my ceremony to change my hair to an updo. I highly recommend Swell Beauty to take care of your beauty needs.

Swell Beauty is the best. Mamica did my hair and makeup for my trial. She was wonderful, she exceeded all my expectations. She listened and we looked a pictures together and she made me look beauty. Even more Mamica is so sweet, kind, and understanding. For my wedding day Dee did my hair and Mamica my makeup. They were both so great, very calming on a hectic day. Their work was magnificent, I never felt so beautiful in my life. They also made time to fit in my mom in last minute. My hair and makeup stayed perfectly from 2pm till past 2am. I would recommend them to anyone needing their hair and makeup done for a special occasion.
THANK YOU MAMICA AND DEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bree

First of all, I never write reviews but I was so pleased with Swell Beauty that I felt compelled to leave a review for them. I needed a stylist last minute for my wedding and I was on a budget. Swell Beauty was recommended to me by another hair and makeup artist who was not able to accommodate my last minute request. I called Swell Beauty who was able to accommodate my budget and my last minute request. They did an amazing job with me and my bridesmaids. At one point we had to check out of our room and get ready at the spa. The ladies from Swell Beauty were very patient and so helpful. They spent a very long time with us and made sure that we were 100% satisfied with our hair and makeup before we left. I highly recommend Swell Beauty. They were amazing!!!!

Dee was professional, sweet, and reliable. She was flexible about meeting us at the new prep location. . She was on time, organized and stayed on the schedule. She worked well with my flower girl who is really shy. Everybody loved the vintage look hair and makeup I opted for. Dee was understanding and flexible that I preferred my own lip product.

Deanne is someone I was able to count on, was open to making changes to my look if I wanted more of this or less of that, was patient and efficient and did such a beautiful job! She is someone I would absolutely recommend to everyone! I couldn't have asked for anything more on my wedding day!

Dee and Katie were so wonderful and talented women! I got the exact hairstyle I desired for my wedding day and they made my mom, all 8 bridesmaids and my junior bridesmaid look so beautiful. If I'm ever in need hair or make up I'd use them again in a heartbeat!

Dee and her Swell Beauty team provided services to my bridesmaids, mother, husband's mother, and me on my wedding day. From my trial with Dee and Laura at their salon, I could tell that these girls totally saw my vision for how we ladies would look. Dee was very easy to be in touch with throughout the planning process and very easy to work with. She and her team are very sweet, friendly, eager to please, and just a joy to be with! We felt beautiful and so happy with how we looked. Our hair and makeup stayed all day and night and we received endless compliments on our looks. Do yourself a favor and book your hair/makeup with Swell Beauty for your wedding!!!! :)

My wedding was Friday November 1st. Everything turned out perfectly with my hair and makeup. I couldn't be happier and so many of my hair stylist friends told me that she really did such a good job. :) I was so back and forth about how I wanted my hair and makeup, so they did two looks for me during the makeup trial. They helped me to feel so confident about my wedding day and they wanted to make sure that I would look how I wanted to. Dee followed up with me often to make sure that I was happy with the trial and to see if I wanted to make any changes. Swell Beauty really wants to make YOU happy. It's not about them, it's about you!

My wedding day was perfect. We got to the salon pretty early to get started on me and then my mom and then my sister-in-law. I had a CRAZY morning because last minute, I decided that I wanted a bit more blonde in my hair. Dee called a hairstylist who had done my hair a few days earlier and she came right over. We put 4 to 6 foils in my hair to lighten up the top, and it worked out perfectly. We then proceeded with my hair and make-up and I made it to my wedding right on time. Swell Beauty is ready to bend over backwards for you and are ready for any emergencies or changes that you want. My hair turned out perfectly how I wanted it, color and style, and I am so happy I went with Swell Beauty!

I contacted Dee after seeing her great reviews on Yelp and Wedding Wire, and she met all my expectations. Let me start out by saying I have had nightmares about my wedding day makeup and hair. In addition, I have never been completely satisfied with makeup and hair when I get it done. I have Native American (olive) skin with almond eyes and straight hair. I have had artists try to match me to Latin or Asian tones but I am neither. It is hard to explain because my skin tone is so weird! Lol, but Dee made sure I was happy with everything!! When she asks you to let her know what you really think, she means it and if you are honest with her, she will make it happen!

I had a great experience with the trial and my engagement pictures came out beautifully. All the girls at Swell were, umm.. swell (lol), really! And Dee was there to make sure things went the way I wanted it to go. On my wedding day, I had Laura as our Makeup artist and Megan (?) as our hairstylist. They worked on two of the toughest, most picky, stubborn girls I know (my close friends/bodyguards, haha) and both girls were so in love with their looks. In addition, they worked on my mother in-law and two flower girls and everyone looked stunning. I have never seen my mother in-law look so beautiful and she loved her glamour look. I was last and I thought for a minute that they would not have enough time but these girls were awesome and efficient! I was in and out within maybe an hour (curls were preset, though) and my look stayed beautiful the whole day! These girls thought of everything; how Makeup changes color with the heat, and how sunblock makes you look grey in pictures (wow! great pointers!) etc.

I love the pictures I've seen so far and I can't wait to see the professional shots. Swell made me the happiest bride ever and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Everything was great! Dee did my hair and Cindy did my make-up. The hair style stayed all day (11:30am till I took it out at midnight). I'm a hair snob who believes that bobby pins should never show; Dee shared my feelings and made it happen. And my scalp felt comfortable...no pinching bobby pins! Cindy specializes in make-up for Asian faces, so request her if that's what you're looking for. Cindy listened to my preferences and made sure my make-up felt comfortable. I don't speak "make-up language", but Cindy was able to give me the look I wanted. Looking at a preview of my wedding photos, I have no complaints!

Dee is great to work with! She was very accommodating and had good customer service. Just speak up and tell her what you're looking for. On the day of the wedding, she and Cindy arrived on time and finished 9 services on schedule. I especially appreciated that Dee took the time to check each of my bridesmaids' hair after she finished to make final touches.

I have no regrets!

Swell Beauty did a perfect job for myself and my bridesmaids hair and makeup on my wedding day. All my best girls felt so beautiful and were so excited to get their hair and make-up done! My hair and make-up looked perfect! I had sooooo many compliments! ;) Dee and her staff were wonderful to work with. They were professional and kind. Dee responded quickly to all of my e-mails. They were a perfect choice for my wedding day. I am very grateful to them. Thank you Swell Beauty!

I was extremely pleased with Swell Beauty. Mamica and Dee did my hair and makeup for my engagement photos and wedding day. I LOVED it. They were so easy to work with and did a fantastic job! They did the hair and makeup for my whole wedding party and everyone loved it! They were a little more expensive then some of the places I looked at but I am very happy I went with them. They did an amazing job and I would definitely recommend them!

Astonishing work! I had my hair and make up by Swell Beauty and was very pleased with their work. They are experts on what they do. Their friendly customer service will make your day more enjoyable. I recommend to get a trial before the big day and ask tons of questions. They are very informative about the hair and make up products and will provide you with many tips on how to keep your skin and hair healthy looking. They also work with your budget and have great options for your entire bridal party.

What a pleasure it was to have Laura do my hair and makeup for my son's wedding. It was very special for me, as I rarely wear makeup and am just sort of a "wash & wear".....jeans & t-shirt" type of woman. At age 56, I didn't want to look too "made up" with heavy makeup or look like the "frumpy" mother of the groom. Laura did a wonderful job with both my hair and makeup and throughout the wedding day and evening, I received many, many compliments about how great I looked. I appreciate that she made me look so good and glowing for my son's wedding day!! Swell Beauty made me feel comfortable in realizing that hair and makeup are not only for the bride and bridesmaids...us moms want to look beautiful too! :o)

Additional Stars: 1) Reasonably priced. 2) Informed of specific details regarding services available and costs involved prior to booking my appointment and paying a deposit. 3) Payment available by credit card, PayPal or check, 4) Continual contact through email regarding questions, procedures, preparation, etc. 5) Best of all....the makeup artist comes to you, which makes for relaxation and no worries!

Hello future Brides,

If you're looking for a classic, natural look, look no further. Swell Beauty is your company. Dee did my hair and Elaina did my makeup. Wow! That's the response I was getting from everyone. Dee and Elaina worked great together as a team and made me feel so relaxed and beautiful.

My hair and makeup stayed intact the whole day and night. Even after dancing the night away. I definately recommend swell beauty to any bride that wants to look amazing on their wedding day.

Love,
Mrs. Marianna Aguilera

I was looking for a makeup and hair artist for the day of my brother's wedding. I was in a rush and I needed an affordable artist because, my last one that I hired fell through a few weeks prior to the wedding. Laura and Dee were great! They took my suggestions after the trial preview session and I looked beautiful the day of! I was receiving compliments all night and it felt great to look my best, being one of the bridesmaids and all :)

I am so happy with the services provided by Swell Beauty. The team came in and did full hair and make up for my bridesmaids listening to each girl and making their look unique. The team also did hair and makeup for my moms and me of course. Their attention to detail is amazing and the team is so friendly. I had two looks for my wedding and Dee was able to change my hair within a matter of minutes and we also did a makeup change. I cannot stress how professional everyone was, how the team put me at ease and how amazing my hair and make up turned out. I am so picky but I cannot say one negative thing about Swell Beauty, I will be using the team in the future and urge everyone to use their services!

I was very delighted with my hair and makeup this team did for me on my preview and again the day of my wedding. I felt trusted and they were right on with the timing of it all. I never had to reapply my makeup except for the gloss I was able to purchase from them. Everyone loved my hair and makeup. The pictures were awesome. My mother and sister also had the best experience and looked great as well.
Thanks and definitley will refer this team to my friends/family.

I contacted Swell Beauty less than 6 months to my wedding date. I was unsure if they were going to be able to help me but they were more than happy to accommodate my situation. Dee was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. Dee, Laura and Andrea did an amazing job for all my events, my bridal shower trial, bachlorette party and wedding day hair and makeup were perfect. Would def recommend them to anyone who wants a great service and look forward to working with them in the future.

I gave a 5.0 on the Quality of Service because I was thoroughly happy with everything they provided. They did my hair and makeup, as well as 3 bridesmaids, the groom's hair and my 2 children. Everyone looked great. They received a 5.0 in Responsiveness, Professionalism and Value because they always responded within a day to my questions or concerns, they were always respectful and professional in dress and demeanor and I felt what I paid for the service was well worth it. Finally, they received a 5.0 in flexibility because they were willng to come to my hotel suite the day of the wedding to do our hair and makeup and then go to the wedding site and do the hair of my groom and my male children, and stay after the first look photos to touch me up for the wedding ceremony.
They are both so pleasant and comfortable to work with. They laughed and joked with everyone while getting us ready which put everyone at ease.
I would recommend very highly. You will be happy with their work.

I had such a good experience with Dee and Laura making me beautiful for my wedding. I highly recommend their services. I came to CA from another state for my wedding so was unable to meet with them ahead of time or do a preview (which was a bit anxiety provoking) and still they helped me prepare and make plans as well as possible from long distance. Even without a preview, when they showed up on the day of my wedding, they listened to my input, went right to work and the end result was that I looked my absolute best. I still frequently get compliments on how great my hair looked that day. On my wedding day I felt like I looked beautiful and all that was reaffirmed now, months later, when I got my first look at my wedding pictures and re-realized how great they really made me look. I'm so grateful for the talents of these girls and how professional and easy to work with they were. It was overall a stress-free experience.

Both Dee and Laura are experts at what they do! I originally met them at a bridal expo in Pasadena and I was very happy with the overall service.

During the bridal preview, Dee and Laura made sure that my mom and I were happy with the hairstyles and makeup for each of the dress changes that I had. They were happy to work on the both of us until we were satisfied. They also took pictures for us so that we would remember exactly what we liked.

Dee and Laura are very flexible and basically stayed with me the entire night to continue touch ups and hair changes.

They also send out helpful emails with tips on how to keep your skin and hair healthy for the big day.

They truly went above and beyond for me!

To Dee and Laura:

I can't thank you both enough. You saved me an immense amount of stress and made all the women in my family gorgeous for my wedding day. (I really don't think any of us have ever felt prettier, and I could see the confidence in my Mom and sisters' faces. That really meant the world to me!!) It means so much that you went above and beyond, and helped past just doing (amazing) hair and makeup. I also appreciate how you were both willing to be flexible and stay later to do extra work on a moment's notice. Your help absolutely contributed to my fairytale wedding, and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate everything you did. Thank you again. You both are lifesavers, and I would recommend you any day!

I loved working with Swell Beauty! My hair and make-up turned out amazing - I didn't feel covered up by my make-up and my hair was exactly what I wanted.

The only problem I felt we had was that we were a little behind on our time schedule, so I was a little late to the ceremony (what bride isn't?). They were, however, doing hair and make-up for all 5 of my bridesmaids plus my mom and that does take time. I would just suggest budgeting an hour more than you think you need just in case.
(I wasn't an hour late, by the way. Just 15 minutes)

Swell Beauty made my wedding day perfect! Flying all the way out to Hawaii to ensure I had a company I trusted by my side on my special day, I couldn't ask for anything more! Thank you so much for making me a beautiful bride, and for touching me up after the pouring rain. (Deanne did my hair again quickly before our reception because there was a huge rain fall while taking our pictures). I am more than happy with Swell Beauty and would suggest Swell Beauty to anyone that wants a stress free beautiful wedding day :)

Swell Beauty did my make up for my wedding this last March and did my make up for nearly every formal dance in high school. I can STRONGLY recommend this company. When Laura has done my make up, it stays on and perfect for the whole day or night. In addition to this, after doing a ton of research for my wedding, I promise that Swell Beauty has the best "bang for your buck." My experience has been extremely positive. I felt beautiful on my wedding day and never had a headache when it came to scheduling, money, quality, or flexibility. The only thing I can suggest to brides is definitely have them do a preview for you. It will put your mind at ease to know exactly what you will look like on your wedding day.

Swell Beauty was exactly what I was looking for a vendor to do my hair and makeup for my October wedding. They listened to my vision and made me and my bridal party look most beautiful for my special day. Not only were they professional, communicative, and punctual but I truly enjoyed working with Dee, Phaithe, and Courtney. I would easily book them again for another occasion!

I will highly recommend Swell Beauty to anyone. The stylists and makeup artists were really professional and they really knew what they were doing at my wedding. The prices were fair, all of my bridesmaids were really excited with the way they looked. I felt so beautiful at my wedding. My hair style and makeup was just what I wanted. Dee the owner was really patient and she listened to what I wanted it. I will use Swell Beauty services for any other important event.

http://vimeo.com/81603934 (our wedding video) Dee and her team did a beautiful job. Myself and all my bridesmaids looked beautiful and felt beautiful. :) They were a tad late, which wasn't their fault, due to traffic. But they still managed to get there and have everyone's hair and make-up done with plenty of time to spare. It didn't feel rushed at all. I am very thankful I had them do my hair and make-up. It was perfect. :)

Wedding Review:

I have never felt so beautiful and confident, which is exactly how you want to feel on your wedding day. Your glam squad is such a HUGE decision and hair and make-up is so important, you will look at your wedding pictures FOREVER. I am thrilled to look at them for the rest of my life. My bridesmaids, sister, mom, mother-in-law and grandmothers (11 girls total) LOOKED AMAZING. THANK YOU SWELL Beauty!!

Engagement Session Review:

We are so excited to have Swell Beauty be our "GLAM" squad for my Wedding on August 20th!

Dee and team made me look and feel wonderful for my engagement shoot and most recently for my hair and make-up trial for my wedding. She also did a trial for my mom, we had so much fun! They made me feel so welcome, calm and were extremely professional. I know that you wedding day is a day of high stress, I know the second I see Dee walk through my front door on August 20th, I am going to have a huge sigh of relief as I know my bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law, grandmothers and myself are going to look FABULOUS!!

Dee made me feel so comfortable, when she send me all my pictures after my trial she said, keep looking at these and for inspiration in the coming weeks so we can make tweaks to ensure you reach your vision!

Thanks Swell Beauty!

I cannot say enough good things about Dee and her team! She is so responsive and organized, which was a welcome relief after dealing with other vendors. In addition, day of she and her team were so sweet and helped to calm my wedding day jitters. :) After working with her, my sister even booked her wedding with Dee!

Dee and her team were fantastic! The trial for my hair was super fun and they nailed the look I was looking for. She even took pictures of my look and emailed them to me so I could tell her if there was anything I wanted to change after. They were on time and finished 11 people and me in record time, I even had time to add my dad in so he would looked polished. Everyone looked fabulous!

Dee and her girls came to our hotel to do our make up and hair for the wedding. They were fast & efficient when it came to doing their thing. I had 3 bridesmaids and 2 moms, plus myself they had to do hair and make up for. They even put a touch of make up on my flower girls! They took a little longer than expected on my hair & make up, but we still made it to the ceremony on time because luckily I built in extra time in our schedule. Everyone looked great and my make up lasted all day (except for my lipstick but that was expected and I bought the lipstick she used on me). Oh and my hair looked better then it did in the trial!

Dee and Laura are awesome all of my friends who have gotten married used them and I was happy with the outcome every time. I was a bridesmaid twice and then a bride and all 3 times they were on time and did exceptional work. When it came time for my wedding they were early and I had shown Laura a pintrest of my makeup and she had done a amazing job. I was more than pleased with the outcome of my hair and makeup on my big day, and all my bridesmaids were too. They looked amazing and everyone looked different, my mom and flower girls had their hair and makeup done too and they looked beautiful as well. We had a few last minute changes with my hair but Dee made everything perfect as always. I would highly recommend Swell Beauty to anyone and I cant wait to use them again.

Dee was amazing. I felt right at home at Swell beauty and enjoyed the lovely atmosphere of her adorable vintage style salon. Dee and Phaith were accommodating and friendly. They were so excited to be a part of my special day and wanted to know every detail. Together we found amazing styles of hair to fit in with my wedding day theme. Dee was open to any suggestions or change I wanted to make. She took dozens of pictures for me and sent them promptly. I would highly recommend Swell Beauty to any bride or friend.

I recently had my hair and makeup trial at the Laguna Beach location for my wedding look with Courtney! I'm so happy with our final look and loved that she listened to what I wanted and brought it to life : ) I showed her some pictures from my Pinterest board for inspiration and Courtney was amazing at giving me the look I was going for. I'm so excited to feel beautiful on my wedding day in August and can't speak more highly of both Dee and Courtney. They have been so lovely and accommodating to work with.

I loved working with these girls. They made my feel relaxed and even made my bride's maids feel great. For the price, I honestly couldn't have asked for more. I enjoyed every moment with them and they had no problem sharing beauty tips! I have also already recommened them to my friend, who was also my bride's maid, and now she will be using them as well!
