y recommend her for your next makeup session.

se, the bride, her work was nothing short of stunning. Her attention to detail and skill in enhancing natural beauty left everyone looking and feeling their best on this special day. DaNina's professionalism and friendly demeanor added a wonderful touch to the overall experience. The makeup artistry truly made your wedding day memorable, and she played a pivotal role in making the bride, bridesmaids, and maid of honor shine with radiance. Highly recommended for any bride-to-be!

ded someone to do hair and makeup for a boudoir shoot as a gift to my future husband. She came recommended by my photographer and did not disappoint! I requested a bombshell look and she made it happen! She made my experience comfortable and easy, and I felt gorgeous all day long after her services! I asked DaNina to do a last-minute house call when I had to reschedule our engagement photos due to rain. She came to my home and delivered a completely different, natural, glowing look perfect for my engagement photos! I felt beautiful and like myself. She stuck to our timelines so that we weren't late to the shoot and really acted like a Fairy Godmother and glam squad all in one! She has even agreed to do a makeup trial with my mother to ensure she will be happy with her look on our wedding day. She goes above and beyond and I would highly recommend to anyone! I'm eternally grateful and can't wait to work with her again soon!

nt, and creative, the makeup she applied didn’t run or sweat off despite lots of stress sweating and happy tears. I had my makeup done in the morning and it still looked impeccable after midnight. She even made me a custom color for my lipstick and I was so thrilled with it and received a ton of positive feedback. I’m so thankful I found DaNina and can’t recommend her talent enough!

my makeup for the wedding. She was very friendly, great to work with, and I loved the work she did on both days. :)

dding day!

. I loved that we could enjoy getting ready in the comfort of home. I highly recommend!!

did a wonderful job at making my bridal party and myself feel and look beautiful. Thank you, DaNina!

f the COVID shutdown. She was able to accomodate a wide variety of makeup styles from my bridal glam to bridesmaids with more drama and mom's and sisters who wanted a natural look. Kind, polite, and dedicated. You will not go wrong with DaNina!

idesmaids looked and extremely pleased with my own makeup as well. I felt so confident walking down the aisle and my makeup lasted all night - even in the hot summer weather! I cannot thank DaNina and her hair stylist enough for giving us the perfect look for my wedding!

oked flawless and it was exactly what I wanted!

wedding party looked beautiful and fabulous thanks to you. We hope to work with you again. I wish you much success in all your ventures. Love, Buchanan Family

ss for my wedding day. They made my girls look gorgeous and made me feel like the most beautiful bride out there. Final product was better than both trials, trust them to add a little of their expertise to the look you aim for. They were also extremely accommodating in adding last minute changes to my girls such as eyelashes and even adding services for a couple more family members. Also accommodating in having no problem moving their start site as our venue was not ready for us morning hours. Makeup and hair are a necessity with the dress and my choice help was spot on I would definitely recommend these two to anyone. I'll post a couple photos if able to when I get my wedding photos back!

hair and makeup! We looked amazing and were all done on schedule! I highly recommend! And definitely go for a bridal trial. It helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and I got to know DaNina before the big day! I can't wait to get my professional pictures back so I can admire this team's work and relive how wonderful my wedding party and I all looked!

rstood what I was looking for during my trial and recreated it perfectly on my wedding day. I also changed my makeup from trial to day-of and DaNina was so calm and helped me create the exact look I wanted just a few hours before the wedding. I highly recommend them for your wedding day!

e is out of this world incredible! I am in love with her work! During my trial, DaNina took the time to listen to me and really get a sense of my style, who I am and what type of look I was going for. She asked to see pictures of my dress and went to work. The look she created was out of this world amazing. She took what I had wanted and gave it some edge (with my permission) to really go with my dress. It was like a stunning work of art. On my wedding day, DaNina did the makeup for my mom, my 3 bridesmaids and me. She arrived just before scheduled and made sure she was set up and ready to go at our agreed upon start time. She transitioned seamlessly from person to person and kept us on schedule. I think this is so important in someone who you're entrusting on such a special day. I never once had to look at the time because I knew I could count on DaNina to do her job and I did not have to worry about anything she was in charge of. She took her time, never rushed and made us all look incredible. I have never felt so beautiful in my life (and this is pre-hair and pre-dress). The makeup was flawless! For both my mom and I to love our makeup is saying a lot. I will be the first to admit that when it comes to this department we are not easy to please but surprisingly, with DaNina we were just that! My mom and I will 100% use DaNina again for any major events that require makeup. She is so passionate and good at what she does that I have full confidence that the next time I go, I'll just show her what I'm wearing and let her do her thing. She is punctual, dependable, easily reached, and so incredibly warm and friendly. She made everyone so happy and comfortable that morning. Love love loved working with DaNina and cannot say enough amazing things about her!! I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants to look like their most beautiful self on their wedding day!

wedding was a dream come true. I felt very stunning on my special day. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you ladies!

so great to work with. They were both so patient and took the time to make sure everyone was happy with look. The communication with DaNina leading up to the wedding day was great and she was quick to respond to any questions I had. I also thought the prices were fair compared to other places I looked into. They were the BEST!! Everything from the trial to the wedding day made me feel so comfortable. They were so sweet and took the time to help me figure out what I wanted since I didn't really have a specific look in mind going into it. They worked with me during the trial, explaining everything and making changes as I started to get an idea of what I liked, and took a bunch of pictures and notes so we would remember everything we did and what I liked/didn't like. On the day of my wedding, the makeup went great since we had already figured out exactly what I wanted. I had changed my mind on a few things I wanted to do with my hair after the trial, and on my wedding day she took the time to make sure everything was 100% how I wanted and was amazing throughout the whole process. I can't say enough good things about them!!!! I absolutely loved how my hair and makeup turned out!

mpt to respond, professional, and fun. Thank you DaNina for making me feel so beautiful on my big day!

for detail and color. Deanna, who worked on hair, was similarly amazing and went above and beyond to make my hair look better than I could have imagined. I have never been as happy with my makeup/hair in my entire life—I can’t stop staring at it—and would recommend them more than enthusiastically to anyone considering beauty artists.

lt. My makeup looked great and photographed so well. DaNina was able to match my yellow and olive undertones so well - even the unedited wedding photos looked perfect! She s extremely responsive and definitely lives up to her motto of simply enhancing ones beauty. I can’t thank her enough!

uld get both a makeup and hair trial in before the big day. DaNina and Star also we’re flexible in adding more people at the last minute, as several of my family members decided at the last minute that they wanted to have their hair/makeup done as well. Everyone looked beautiful and more importantly felt that way, too, because DaNina and Star both listened to what everybody wanted and worked with their natural features to enhance them. The airbrush and hair make up held up perfectly through the 10ish hours between the final touch ups and when the last guests finally left my parents’ backyard! Also, I highly recommend having DaNina do the groom airbrush, too. My husband had been anxious about some blemishes, and she did some quick airbrush work on him that made him feel more confident about his look, too. It was all well worth it and I couldn’t be happier we booked with DaNina!

did with me, my bridal party and family members. DaNina is great with different age groups too. She made both my grandmothers look incredible and made them feel comfortable with the process since they both don't wear makeup very often. I am so pleased with her skills, my bridal airbrush look didn't budge even the littlest bit. That's really saying something because my wedding was starting around 6 hours after having it done - and it lasted through the night. She's so great with different skin tones and making different features shine. Booking DaNina was one of my best wedding choices - hands down. <3

find DaNina and Sonya after I had a horrendous hair and makeup trial for my wedding. Disclaimer: I will admit that I am very picky when it comes to hair and makeup, especially makeup. I am used to doing my own makeup every day and debated on doing it myself for my wedding day. However, DaNina was able to create the exact look I was going for, and completely sold me on getting professional makeup done for my wedding. During my hair and makeup trial, DaNina and Sonya  really listened to what I wanted and never once rushed the process- they are unbelievably patient and thorough! You can tell that they truly want ther clients to be happy with their results. The day of the wedding, they showed up to our bridal suite exactly on time and fully prepared. I had a total of 14 bridesmaids and DaNina had emailed me a complete detailed list of everyone’s hair and makeup times a week before my wedding. DaNina and Sonya incredible and worked flawlessly with such a large group. I was so impressed! Everyone’s hair and makeup turned out BEAUTIFUL and all final touches were complete by the expected time. After I booked them, I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. DaNina remained very responsive to emails and was incredibly organized and helpful throughout the entire planning process. I am so thankful that I found DaNina and Sonya and was able to book them for my wedding. They are a top-notch hair and makeup team and I would 100% recommend them to any bride/bridal party! 

e was flawless. She was great with communication and even told me exactly where to go and what product to buy when I sent her a text the day before my wedding, stressed that I was breaking out - from stress (oh the irony). The assistant she brought with her was wonderful as well and both made the entire experience fun and carefree. You can't go wrong with DaNina - you won't be disappointed!

ture of what I wanted my makeup to look like, so she did her thing and made it look natural but also amazing. Thank you DaNina for everything!!

he reviews and looked at a lot of photos online when making my decision on who would do my wedding makeup. I decided to go with DaNina because her portfolio speaks for itself, and the reviews support it. I was not disappointed! For both my trial and day of, she came to the location about 20 minutes ahead of the schedule time to set up. She brought every single equipment/tool you could possibly imagine a professional would need just to make sure you have the best outcome, lighting, chair, appropriate music, etc. When she was done with my trial, the end result was amazing! As a black woman, tone matching is everything, and she got this right at the very first go. No need to adjust. I had nowhere to go that night to show off how great I looked (keeping it real) and took a ton of selfies as any normal person would lol! The only thing we decided to change was the lip color and by the day of wedding, she had taken my feedback, purchased a ton of lip colors just for me and her first selection was EXACTLY what I wanted. My wedding was outdoors in GA in August and as you can imagine, hot as ever. It stayed on the entire evening. I may or may not have slept in it and still have it intact the next morning. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism, friendliness and artistry. Worth every penny!

makeup. She was definitely a great choice. You will not regret it!

en through sweating in the 95 degree Georgia heat for pictures. I would recommend DaNina to anyone I know looking for professional makeup.

e back to my house to do it again without charging me! I expected to pay considering I was the one who changed my mind but she insisted. Day of the wedding she had a very calm energy and kept everyone on time. When the wedding was over and everyone had paid I realized my mom had overpaid by $200. (She paid for a bridesmaid who in fact had already paid) I emailed DaNina explaining the confusion. She venmoed my mom back the $200 in seconds. She’s a very honest worker and very talented make up artist. Would strongly recommend her!!

act for the entire wedding and reception without that horrible unwanted SHINE! She started at 6:30a and finished the last face at 3:30p; without a single complaint or break. I’ve worked with many makeup artist, but she definitely ranks at the top of the list!

m not a big make up person and I was extremely happy on how my make up looked on my big day.

ffortless. DaNina did an amazing job and I’m so thankful to the Knot for helping me find her. She is definitely the best 🙌

ya for my hair. They are both so professional and caring. I cannot image my wedding day without them. My wedding was in December on the weekend that it snowed so much. DaNina and Sonya were so thoughtful and proactive that they stayed in a hotel near my venue just to make sure they arrived on time in case the roads were icy. They are so dedicated and kind. I would highly recommend them both!

al. I am so grateful for her and wouldn't recommend anyone else for the job! Thank you DaNina!!!

9 of my bridesmaids makeup for my big day on October 7th, 2017. She made everyone look stunning! I was nervous about the time and staying on schedule that day---which she was amazing about this!! DaNina had already made a time schedule weeks in advance to keep everyone on schedule. Also DaNina is very punctual and reliable. She also did my makeup for my rehearsal dinner...she knew what style I liked yet changed it up for the rehearsal dinner so on my wedding day it didn't look the exact same (which I loved). I would highly recommend DaNina to any bride!!! I am so thankful I found her for my wedding day!

I do it the same day as our engagement shoot. DaNina and Sonya was able to come to my house super early morning start. They did my makeup and hair at the same time! I felt like a superstar. I also appreciate how flexible they were - and I loved everything they did. For the wedding, DaNina and Sonya both came out to our hotel and were able to fly threw the schedule that they made including 7 bridesmaids, two moms and myself and had time for touch ups right before photos. Everyone LOVED their hair and makeup. Thank you! You guys are the best.

-in-law, and 5 bridesmaids. The schedule she made was a big help to make sure everything ran smoothly. DaNina will be doing the makeup at my best friend’s upcoming wedding and I can’t wait. I would highly recommend her for anyone who wants to look beautiful on their wedding day.

rs of the bridal party, and she handled everything in stride and made a point to make everybody feel great. I had so many people compliment me, and at least 5 people asked my wedding planner who did my makeup. I look back at photos and am just so thrilled with how everything turned out - I couldn't be more thankful for her!

u both for working with me with organizing this special day for my niece Cindy and her bridesmaids. I appreciate your prompt responses via email ( I know I could get a little carried away overthinking) LOL! Thank you! The wedding day schedule was perfect, and helped everything run smoothly. I would absolutely recommend Sonya and Danina! True professionals!

rt, the other lady fell through last minute, and I was left 2 months out from my big day with out a make up artist. O_O Needless to say, I was a panicked bride. I found DaNina on yelp - she had great reviews on all of the wedding sites as well. I sent a pricing inquiry on her website, after looking at her work, I was really impressed at how diverse her portfolio was! There were brides of all different cultures, and every single one of them was so BEAUTIFUL! She responded within 24 hours of my inquiry, which is really important for a time pressed bride... Before I knew it, we scheduled a trial run. She was very flexible with my time. My schedule can get a little crazy, but she worked with me. We had the trail at my house. She showed up early, and (as usual) I was late... to my own house.. lol. But she was super nice about it! She came prepared with all of make up that you can ever need, her own light, and this comfy make up chair as well. I opted for air brushed foundation, a smoky eye and a burgundy lip that matched my bridal shoes :) I had a few pictures of what I wanted, and she sure did execute! She did an amazing job! I loved everything about the look that she created for me! I also wanted an up-do, and she had her hair stylist Sonya Rivera come in for that. Sonya did an amazing job with my up-do and waterfall braid. Both of these ladies are as sweet as pie, and you can definitely sense the camaraderie between them. I'm not really a girly-girl, so I was honestly kind of dreading getting my make up done, It was not nearly as awkward as I thought it was going to be! They are both so warm and kind, and they have a way of just making you feel comfortable. DaNina created a schedule with all of my bridesmaids/mom that were getting serviced. She sent it to me a couple days before the actual day so we knew what to expect. The morning of my wedding was ABSOLUTELY bananas. We were running behind schedule, but DaNina & Sonya kept their composure (way better than I did) and did their thing. Everyone was so happy with their hair and make up! I was getting compliments from everyone about beautiful I looked, and for once, I actually felt like it! I was a beautiful bride thanks to both of these ladies! The best thing was how long it lasted! My make up stayed in place ALL night, which is really impressive because I sweat PROFUSELY. It's like someone turns a faucet on when I sweat. (Seriously, my Husband had to keep a tissue in his pocket, and was sweet enough to dab me when we were at the alter! Hilarious, but also necessary as I was sweating bullets!). I am SO happy that the other makeup artist fell through. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, or a better make up and hair artist! Thanks to you both for everything!!

hen she came to do my trial I showed the pictures from the bad experience and she assured me that she was going to take care of me. After my trial with her I was so excited I just snapped selfie after selfie! On the day of her and her assistant we're seriously on top of it! They did make up on my five bridesmaids, my mother, my mother in law, my make up and then still were able to fit in my sister and flower girl. All of my bridesmaids loved their looks! We ALL SLAYED thanks to DaNina. I'm so thankful I found her! I will definitely be using her again when I need my makeup done and will highly recommend her to any and everyone seeking her service! She's so down to earth and so easy to talk to! I had an anxiety attack in the middle of her working on me she remained so calm and gave me time for it to passed and then continued on as if it hadn't even just happened, that really means so much to me because most people freak out when I have them. Thank you again DaNina for making me look so gorgeous on my big day my hubby could not stop staring and telling me how beautiful I looked Sincerely, Mrs Ramirez

re excellent. She worked closely with us (MOB, bride, attendant) and gave us the look we wanted. She was responsible, caring, prompt, and very artistic without being at all heavy handed. Her role in helping the wedding day go smoothly was significant. Recommend her highly.
