I hired Design Visage to do hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party based on a recommendation from my coordinator and they did an excellent job! Everything was seamless from the start-once I filled out the form online I had a great chat ...
with Jackie who helped me set up a trial with Kim. After taking the time to go over what I wanted in the trial-they arrived right on time on the morning of and worked efficiently through everyone that needed hair and makeup. They finished early and we even added (2) additional services and they had time to touch everyone up at the end. My hair and makeup looked even better than the trial on the day of and I got so many compliments! Highly recommend Kim and the whole Design Visage team!

Love, love, love the Design Visage team! DV Kim did my bridal hair and make-up in October 2020. Jackie assisted in the planning process and made things super easy to secure. She set up a bridal preview so I could test out the look prior to the ...
big day. It made me feel so comfortable leading up to the day knowing that I would love my hair and make up. Kim did my make up and hair at the preview and nailed my look flawlessly! I had brought some photos of hair and make up that I admired and really let her do her thing! What I might suggest for a bride looking to secure make up or hair services, is to not have one single image in mind! It really allows the professional to put their creativity to work. I'm so thankful I went in with an open mind. I was honest with certain things I didn't love before we started and pointed out things that I did love! It allowed me to share my favorite things, but still allowed to pro to put her own twist on it! The day of the wedding, I truly felt at ease. I also had my mom, maid of honor and 3 bridesmaids getting ready with me! We all felt so beautiful! I wouldn't change anything! I'm so thankful I went with the Design Visage team. Everyone was wonderful to work with!

and makeup done. I usually don't wear a ton of a makeup on the daily basis. That being said, I’m always nervous to see myself once I’m all dolled up. I will say I’ve never once been disappointed or had to fix anything once I left the salon. That to me that is a huge WIN! I also want to mention I am extremely indecisive and never know what I want. I understand that could be very difficult and annoying as an artist but they never complain and always nail my “vision”! I recently just had holiday portraits taken and had my H&M done. My artist Chanele blew my expectations out of the water! I’ve never felt so pretty in my life! So, if you’re reading this and looking for a team to do your hair and make up for your next wedding/event, do yourself a favor and stop looking now! BOOK Design Visage! I promise you will not be disappointed! ❤

he knew exactly what I wanted and made me feel so beautiful and elegant. Fast forward and I had to postpone my wedding twice due to the pandemic. I ended up getting married in a private ceremony but continued working with DV. Sarah wasn't available for my new date but Jackie worked diligently to ensure that I had a great match. I was even given a free second trial to ensure I was happy with my artists. I really appreciate everything Jackie did to make sure I was satisfied. Rachel was my artist for my wedding and she was SO FUN and energetic. Her and the second artist arrived on time and got set up quickly. They had a great rotation as they worked on all of us and stayed on schedule. She was very detailed and tweaked everything until it was just right. They touched everyone up before they left to ensure we looked our best. Everyone looked stunning. I would definitely recommend DV to any SoCal brides. I drove up for trials from San Diego and it was SO worth it!!!

rtist was kind and understanding. She did the makeup and hair for myself and several bridesmaids and my mother-in-law and also dealt with my mother, which deserves a medal in itself. Also her timing was SPOT ON. Wow, we were impressed. The only reason I didn't put five stars is because it was a bit expensive; I'm sure there are cheaper out there, and maybe I am naïve in what HMU costs, which is definitely a possibility. But honestly, they know what they are doing, the company has been around a long time and I'm confident that they could work with whatever you wanted. This is a great company to consider!

d full of energy, I'm so glad we were paired together. For the trial, Sarah did about 3 different looks for makeup and hair for me. But one tip for every bride is to please feel free to voice what you want to have done, and what you like and don't like because that's what the bridal trial is for! Sarah was very accommodating and helped me try all various looks before I decided what I wanted. The day of the wedding Sarah, along with another artist came right on schedule according to our timeline to the hotel room we were staying in everything went pretty smoothly. I still can't believe how early they must've left to drive from Orange County to Westlake Village, but I think they're used to working early for weddings. They helped myself, my bridesmaids and my mom get our makeup and hair done for the day of the wedding. All the bridesmaids and my mom were stunning, and I was in love with my hair and makeup for my wedding. I hired Sarah to stay all day until 6pm right before the reception started because I wanted to make sure my makeup and hair were fresh for photos and everything was on point, and she also touched up my bridesmaids if they needed it. I love Sarah so much, and highly recommend her as your DV artist.

e. I and the others who had hair/makeup services that day were not happy at all. I (the bride) looked terrible. My hair was laughably bad and nothing like what I had asked for. I wanted a simple hair style that should have been very easy to do, but after showing many Pinterest photos and talking/describing what I wanted, plus TWO different hair and makeup trials, my hair and ESPECIALLY my makeup was some of the worst I have ever had done, either by myself or anyone else. The way my eyes turned out made them look smaller than they actually are. The idea is to accentuate the eyes and to make them look full and bright. I looked nothing like myself, and it did not look good on top of it. Even some of my close friends and family ADMITTED that I did not even look as good as I usually do! I looked like a fake, flat-faced mannequin doll with unflattering colors! The makeup look did not even last the entire night, despite getting the airbrush. My eyeshadow had faded off to almost looking like I had none on, as had any blush or contouring on my skin. My lipliner did not last an hour (despite not eating or drinking anything), and the cheap little lipgloss they gave me for touch-ups was a different color than the original and very cheap. After PAYING $500.00 for a trial and a day-of hair and makeup, I definitely expected MUCH better.

I cannot highly recommend Design Visage enough for bridal hair and makeup! My experience with their fabulous team was beyond any online ratings I can give. I have only the best things to say about their stylists and the in-office staff who ...
kept everything exceptionally coordinated and stress-free via clear communications. I wasn’t really feeling like a bride-to-be until I had my trial with Lauren. I don’t wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, and she immediately understood that on my wedding day, I wanted to look like the most beautiful version of myself. I also have a lot of hair – thick and long – yet she seemingly effortlessly put it into the most elegant up-do. I left their salon thrilled and finally excited. On the big day, Lauren and Missy arrived a little early, and were professional, fun, knowledgeable and simply adorable throughout the entire afternoon. They made you feel like you were hanging out with a girlfriend you’d known forever while getting styled. My mom, mother-in-law, sister/MOH, sister-in-laws and I looked flawless in photos yet didn’t look like we had masks of make-up on in-person. We also didn’t look too “matchy” if that makes sense; everyone’s personality shined through in her final look. I received so many complements about mall of our hair and makeup on the big day and then again after the photos came out. The Design Visage artists are truly talented. Make sure to book early!! They will wait until much closer to your day to lock in the final headcount, but I have heard that appointments can be hard to snag during peak season.

Design Visage was very easy to work with and were very professional. My stylist listed to what I said and new exactly what I was going for- even though I am not an expert in the makeup and hair area. I tried a few other companies, and Design Visage was BY FAR the BEST. My sister in law who was in my party, is getting married this year as well and loved how everyone looked so much that she isn't even going to try anyone else. Her words: "why waste time and money trying another vendor when I already know the best one in the business?" Can't beat that!

iments for my hair and makeup that I knew instantly that I wanted to have her do my wedding too. Lauren and the other stylist, Ella, both arrived to my house early at 5am to do hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. All of my girls looked beautiful and they were able to cater to their requests. Of course, Lauren, was my stylist, and at no surprise she made me look flawless and beautiful. Even with a long 18 hour day, our hair and makeup looked and held up nicely throughout the day. The only negative/con was they changed extra $$ for my touch-up make up kit (lipstick, gloss, and lip-liner). Considering the significant higher price the bride pays for her own makeup/hair (double the bridesmaids' cost) plus all their competitors offer it as part of their package. For the most part, I would highly recommended Lauren and Design Visage to all brides-to-be.
