so much along the way so that I can do a better job with my everyday makeup! But I'll always call Shani when I need that glam. And for my clients, she has proved her skill in working with women of color. I won't hesitate to recommend her to any and all brides.

g job making you look like a million bucks, but she'll give you a good laugh as she's doing it! She's always transparent about creating a timeline and is good at sticking to it. Hire Perfect Day Beauty!

hen I said "I do"! 1. Shani was always prompt in her replies and helpful when offering advice or suggestions (which was a life saver since I was anxious, stressed and a make-up novice.) 2. She set aside ample time for a trial session and made sure she explained the process in detail while she applied the make-up. She asked for images of my dress, flowers, the location, time of day, etc- just to make sure that the look she created would be perfect for what we had planned. 3. Shani is a very warm and open person. I felt a bit out of my element, because it was make-up and "glamorous" and I am more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of person. Her presence was immediately calming, and while she offered her own input she also listened to what I wanted. Overall, I am so very happy I chose Shani as my MUA. Her make-up work was precise and flawless, I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and I got to meet a stellar person in the process.

fessional and accommodating with our constantly changing plans due to COVID. I would highly recommend her!

made me feel like myself. The whole process was easy and very comfortable. Definitely recommend.

so important for brides to not only photograph well but also look amazing in person and Shani has truly mastered her craft. I highly recommend her to all of my brides!

true gift as an artist. I left her chair with a flawless look and a new friend 💕

my hair down or in a topknot bun everyday), so I was pretty intimidated by getting all glammed up for my wedding day. Shani made the whole process easy, seamless, and so much less intimidating than I was making it out to be! She helped take my vision for myself on my wedding day (natural-looking with little pops of color for my makeup and a loose, boho updo for my hair), and she executed the whole thing flawlessly. She also gave me a few good skincare tips during our run-through that helped me up my anti-aging game. On top of that, she was such a joy and an easy presence to be with on the morning of my big day. I did not want to be around someone who was easily flustered or high maintenance on such an important morning, and I think Shani was the perfect blend of comforting, professional, and fun to be around! Whether it's for your wedding day, your engagement photos, or another event where you need hair and makeup, I highly recommend Shani Gailbreath as your first call!!
