Dayna and her team are the best! From planning with the coordinator Debra to day of styling with the artists. The hairstylists, makeup artists, and assistants are simply fabulous and so sweet. They all made me and my party feel so comfortable. Dayna even provided grooming for my dad, and he loved it!

I would highly recommend Dayna. She is talented and professional. I chose to have the Full Day Experience, which was the best decision I could have made. Dayna was there for touch ups during pictures and throughout the evening. It was amazing to have a personal stylist for such an important day.

Dayna and her team were such a treat to work with for our wedding. You will not regret choosing them to do your hair and makeup. The communication from beginning to end was great. Dayna also went above and beyond to make sure that every detail was fully covered before Wedding Day. On the day of the wedding, Dayna and her team arrived early and they did not hold us up in the least bit. They listened to all the ladies and made sure everyone was happy and touched up before they started pictures. You will not regret choosing them!

Wow!! Dayna exceeded my expectations - she is so professional, personable, and creative, and she clearly enjoys and is very skilled at what she does. She is very accommodating - she welcomes feedback and is a perfectionist. I am so happy that I was able to book hair and makeup with Dayna - I felt very comfortable with her and I was beyond pleased with the incredible results! She is great at improvising and was able to do the impossible with my hairstyle! I received many compliments on my look, and my photos turned out great! I highly recommend her and would love to work with her again, given the chance. Thank you so much, Dayna!!

Dayna was great! I had a very small party and was only looking for hair, which made finding a stylist difficult as many had a minimum amount of service, so I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to accommodate a party of 4. She also stepped in last minute after my hairstylist got sick, and she got me right in the month before my wedding for a trial. While we didn't get the style right on the first go, she was super receptive to feedback and willing to try a few different ways of doing things. I had my heart really set on the style I had done with my first hair stylist, which I could tell wasn't her normal style, but she was willing to adjust as needed to get it right. On the day of the wedding, she did all four of us by herself, rotating us skillfully. Everyone - each with different hair textures and lengths - looked great. My hair is very wavy, frizzy, and thick and she managed to make my curls look sleek and frizz-free (though with the amount of hairspray she used, she did recommend I stay away from open flame :)).

Dayna has been my hair stylist for close to 20 years. She always gets in right whether it is a cut or updo. Both of my daughters (3 & 11) now go to her as well and she is so patient and kind with them. Dayna stays up to date with the hair and makeup industry and is always working to better herself. She is the best of the best!

I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Dayna and her team for my wedding! I was initially nervous and apprehensive about finding a hair and makeup artist that I could resonate with/feel really confident in. I felt very relieved upon booking with Dayna. She has a wide-range of experience and she and makeup artist Jennifer are so talented! They were organized, professional, and kind and supportive throughout the entire process.
They helped me find hair extensions at the last minute (I had no experience with them before) and I am SO glad we added them to the look. I also felt like they really prioritized all of my opinions and preferences.
They provided services for me, 2 moms, and 3 bridesmaids. Everything went very smoothly and timing was perfect on the wedding day. I truly thought my bridal party looked stunning. I wore a long, nearly floor-length ribbon in my hair and was pleasantly surprised that it stayed in all night and was comfortable!
You will definitely not regret booking :)

I worked with Dayna for a special event. She was one of the most professional hair and makeup artists I've ever worked with for men's grooming. She was on time to do my hair and makeup. And I looked great at the event thanks to her.
She was so friendly and easy to work with.
She was also very responsive to my messages so I was able to find some time that worked for me before the event.
I strongly recommend her for men's grooming.

100% book Dayna!!! I was referred to Dayna by a manager at a bridal salon where my mom got her mother of the bride dress. Dayna is an amazing person to work with! She is so kind and talented. I was a bundle of anxiety leading up to the wedding and Dayna assured me many times everything was going to look beautiful and she was SO RIGHT! My hair was absolutely AMAZING and looked better than I ever dreamed!!! It stayed the whole night. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you so much Dayna!

I hired Dayna to do hair and makeup for myself, daughter and step daughter. Dayne was responsive to communications, open to suggestions, on time and professional!
My step daughter(14) has extremely curly hair that has caused her a lot of distress. The joy was evident in her face at the result of the style Dayna provided for her. Both girls had age appropriate hair and makeup and looked amazing! Despite an unfortunate bee situation that we tried to control...the day was flawless! My hair and makeup were exquisite! I can't wait to have her do my makeup again for some event! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dayna!

I continue to grow. You were so much fun to work. Calm, cool, and collected at the trial and on the wedding day. Thank goodness you could handle those bees, because that is where I draw the line haha. Your girls are super sweet too. I am excited to work with all of you again! Congratulations to your almost 1 year anniversary! I hope you have been enjoying every minute. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Dayna enough!!! If you are anything like me, you do your research... you spend HOURS trying to find the perfect vendors etc. Well, let me go ahead and do you a huge favor & stop you here. Dayna exceeded any & every expectation I had for my wedding day & 6 months later I am still swirling in gratitude over her! I am a dancer, so I have had my hair & makeup done professionally many times & I have never had an artist do such amazing work. I wanted a very "natural & bright" look for my summer wedding & that is exactly what Dayna did. She enhanced my natural features and really gave the flawless skin look. She blended the makeup so beautifully AND IT STAYED ALL NIGHT!!!! Not only was the makeup so beautiful but the hair was exactly what I had described and stayed put all night (and trust me, ya girl was out there dancing;) I receive so many compliments (to this day) of my hair & makeup from my wedding and it is all thanks to Dayna.

Dayna, thank you for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Your kindness & bright spirit set such a special tone the entire morning of us all getting ready - you are an amazing human & I feel so lucky to have had the privilege of having my hair & makeup done by you!

dancing all night is the best feedback. And I know you surely were dancing! You were such a delight and your family was lovely. I am excited to hear what is next for your career, big things for sure. Happy 1 year anniversary to you and Ethan. I hope it was magical! Thank you!! P.S.- Thank you for referring your cousin who I will see in a few weeks.

Dayna provided hair & makeup services for my wedding party on November 18, 2022 and I couldn’t have been happier! Her and Jennifer, the makeup artist, were extremely warm, professional, and accommodating! I asked for a few changes from my trial hair/makeup and the outcome was even better than I had imagined! My wedding party and I looked and felt so beautiful thanks to these wonderful ladies <3
Prior to wedding day, Dayna was very responsive and helped to put together a timeline of the morning to ensure we had ample time to finish everyone’s hair/makeup!
Thank you for helping to make this day so special & memorable!

Their natural beauty shined through while they were picture perfect. Dayna is prompt in her responses and transparent with her pricing and planning.
