Deni* Makeup + Hair

Denise was great! She is excellent at listening to what I wanted, and the final product was wonderful. She was flexible with last minute schedule changes, and she arrived early on the day of, which I really appreciated. I felt very well taken care of– I knew I didn’t need to worry about anything regarding hair/​makeup on my wedding day. I received many compliments all around.

I was the bride and Denise provided make up and hairdo for me, my mom and maid of honor. She was very helpful, communicated well, punctual, and flexible. She showed me several hairdos to give me options. She was punctual so that helped a lot during the day of the wedding. She was quick and creative. I didn’t show her my hair accessory till the day of the wedding but she was able to quickly incorporate it into a hairdo. I had two outfits and for both outfits the make up fitted perfectly.

Denise has been very helpful from day 1. She takes initiative and is very responsive to our requests. I like how she constantly reminds us from consultation till the day of wedding on what she needs us to do and how reasonably flexible she is with the schedule.
Her style is the right fit for us. It is not heavy but just the right amount. My wife turned out beautifully. Also, a thank you to Denise! Due to a miscommunication with our wedding venue, we needed to scramble to an alternate location for hair/​makeup on our big day! Denise was very accommodating and went thru the hassle without a single complaint.
Getting marry can be very hectic and Denise has made the hair/​makeup portion one thing that we do not have to worry about. Overall, she is very pleasant to work with and I am surprised that she doesn’t charge more!!!

Deni did my hair and makeup for my wedding on a hot summer day at LA. She was quick to respond to my requests and was very flexible with my schedules for the trial session and the wedding date. She was punctual and came prepared for the appointments. I was looking for an artist who knows how to work with Asian faces and there aren’t many. But I think Deni’s service is great and the service rate she charges for the bridal package is a good value.
The only problem I had was my hair up-​do became kind of loose for the reception, but I guess I can’t blame anyone because I had to change into two outfits and travel between two locations. Also, I wished the price for the bridesmaids would be cheaper. I only book her for the bridal hair and makeup and arranged to have my bridesmaids do theirs at a salon for cheaper price.
Deni clearly is very passionate about her work and she is very pleasant to work with. I would definitely recommend her services.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this lovely lady.
Found Denise at one of the bridal shows. Unfortunately, bridal showers tend to cater to one ethnicity versus others, and I could not get just any makeup artist. I looked through Denise’s portfolio, got her contact information, and looked through her website for a few days.
I eventually emailed her to possibly sign a contract. She was very sweet, always answered all of my questions and answered them in a very timely manner, and there were no hidden fees: the contract was very exact. For example, I would pay for parking fees, which is completely understandable. She only provided on-​site service instead of a salon. And she could also provide other on-​site services if requested beforehand.
So, I put in a 50% deposit at the time of signing the contract, and requested a trial session around 4 months before the wedding. She was on-​time for the trial session, took a few minutes to set-​up, and was ready to go. The trial session calmed me down and I was very confident of her abilities for the wedding. She absolutely knew what to do to make me look beautiful.
I paid the full amount of my balance a few weeks before the wedding. She received it without any issue when I mailed in the payment.
The day of the wedding, she was on-​time. As my hotel wasn’t very easy to find, this meant that she gave herself ample time to find the hotel. That’s what professionalism is all about. She had to do my maid-of-honor’s hair and makeup, my hair and makeup, and my now-mother-in-law’s hair. She did a great job on everyone, and everyone could not believe how beautiful I was at the wedding (I know it’s almost like a back-​handed comment… am I pretty ugly normally?).
She even had a little backup kit for me to keep to help touch-​up my makeup when necessary. The makeup did last for over 12 hours, with very little touch-​up needed. If anything, the curl in my hair was almost gone by the 10^th hour, which my bridesmaids were able to curl right back up. She was also super-​patient with one of my friends, who had forgotten hairspray, and who asked to use hers. And she was super-​patient with the videographer and photographer when they needed to get shots of me getting my makeup on. That sort of patience can be difficult to find.
So, Denise deserves all the possible stars she can get. I have absolutely no complaints about her work, she was great to work with, and there were only high regard for her work. Thank you so much, Denise!

On time, on point. and on budget. Denise was a one-​stop solution for our wedding’s make up needs. She was really open minded and easy to communicate. She had no problem creating individual looks that fit the bride and bridesmaids. As a guy, she really gave me a peace of mind knowing that she was able to work with the ladies and keep them happy. I was surprised at how professional and complete Denise and her team’s service was for the price. I highly recommend her!

«Denise is easygoing and patient, she listened to my thoughts and respect my ideas. I usually don’t use makeup, so I was a little worried about using someone but Denise is just so calm when doing her job, it really set me at ease.
After the first trial, I was worried that I didn’t look like myself with that makeup and hair style, so Denise just made another appointment right away for me. And the second trial turned out to be good.
On my wedding date, I had my hair cut before the wedding date, I had to change my hair style too and Denise did a great job accommodating. After everything was done, all my bridesmaids like my hair and makeup.
I strongly recommend Denise as your big day helper.»

Deni and her team are amazing! From the trial to the wedding day she was professional, calm, and so accomodating. I’m just a little (haha) picky when it comes to hair and makeup, and she took the time to try different things with both my hair and makeup to make me feel great.

Denise is amazing! She did my hair and makeup, both which she paid so much close attention to, she really loves her job and really takes pride in her craft. If you are looking for a patient, sweetly pleasant MUA who REALLY knows her stuff, Denise is definitely the MUA to recommend!
