I would NOT recommend working with Hair and Makeup by Dilan In short, they were:
1. Not transparent with pricing - lashes not included in original pricing and this was only mentioned after I paid a deposit
2. Not transparent that the hair/makeup artist they were sending did not even regularly work with them; refused to give me any contact info even for the day of my wedding
3. The hair/makeup artist did not do a good job on my hair and I had to fix it myself and ended up being late to my own wedding
Long review:
I honestly have no idea how this group has such good reviews. I had such a bad experience with them. I initially saw photos of the work and was excited to book hair and makeup for my wedding day. Because I live in San Francisco, I was not able to do a makeup and hair trial and just relied on reviews and the photos that were posted on the website. I emailed the group and got a quote of $450 for hair and makeup. I went with this and paid the deposit (half the price).
Closer to the time of the wedding, I started getting more nervous because I realized I wanted a more natural makeup look and all the photos on the website/instagram were heavier. I emailed the team to ask if I could find out who my makeup artist was and whether I could see their portfolio. That's when I learned that they had not even assigned anyone for me and apparently they do not assign anyone (despite me putting down the deposit) until I paid in full. This honestly seemed very shady. I told them I was concerned that I didn't want to go thru with them unless I knew the makeup artist was able to deliver a more natural look and they said they understood and would send me a few different artists' portfolios right away - this did not happen. Instead, they later said I had to send them photos of what I wanted and only afterwards could they share the portfolio of the makeup artists. They also ended up only sending one portfolio.
During this whole mess, they also happened to mention that the initial price they quoted didn't included lashes. WHICH IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD. I've had my hair/makeup done before and lashes are always included - this also wasn't something they specified until AFTER I put my deposit down. Instead, they added an additional charge.
Because the portfolio of the person they sent looked good, I ended up just going along with things. It wasn't until closer to my wedding day that I asked for the makeup artist's contact info and they DENIED me. They would not give me the contact info which was so absurd.
On the day of my wedding, the makeup artist showed up. I found out through her that she does not regular work with Hair and Makeup by Dilan and just independently contracts with them. She did a good job on my makeup but didn't come prepared with anything to give me a sample of the lipstick so I could reapply it through the night. Instead I had to call to my hotel so they would bring some aluminum foil for her to put the lip color in there.
For some reason, she assumed I wanted my hair straightened so only brought a hair straightener with her. I told her I wanted my hair to be wavy so she curled my hair with the straightener. This was such a DISASTER. She said she finished and I checked the mirror and the waves were not even and there were multiple areas that were still straight. It looked bad. I had to point this out to her, have her correct it, and then she would try again - I really don't understand how this became my responsibility and how she didn't realize that the hair was not wavy. After a few times and after the time became later and later, I just gave up and said I was fine with it.
I was quoted that hair and makeup would take 1:30 hours but it ended up taking over 2 hours. NOT TO MENTION, I had to spend another 30 minutes curling my own hair afterwards so that it wouldn't look awful. Meaning that I ended up being 30 minutes late to my own wedding (when I had previously accounted for an hour of cushion time with hair/makeup) because the person that this group sent was not good.
Dilan is such a great hair and makeup artist, I can only recommend her!
Booked Dilan Beauty Studio for my elopment. Ma Hausband and I both got ready for our photoshooting and I must say this Team did really excellent results with our Services. On Time and reliable and answered all my questions.From start to finish remained Professional and great quality you can really tell they care. Highly recommended.
I used Dilan Beauty Studio for my Bridal makeup since I already hired a hairstylist and couldn't be happier! My Makeup Artist was an absolute pleasure to work with - very professional, exceptionally talented, uses amazing products, and is just a gem of a human. If you're looking for a makeup artist look no further. Love My result and since I requested waterproof Makeup it also stayed in place from reception to our cocktail party. Great work. Absolutely recommended
Hair and Makeup by Dilan is a pleasure to be with, fun, knowledgeable, completely professional and extremely good at what she does. Unlike the average makeup artist, here I ended up looking like a natural enhanced version of myself rather than like a painted doll for my wedding hair and makeup.
l also had my trial done here and my stylist advised accordingly because of her experience and in-depth knowledge of the wedding trends that she recommended for me.
I am very picky myself in regards to wearing makeup since I normally just wear my tinted moisturizer and Mascara to pair with. But as I told my stylist that she went above and beyond to allow me to still look myself and be enhanced for our wedding photoshooting. As I recommended, a true professional!
Dkaybeauty was so lovely and I was thrilled with my hair and makeup for my Birthday. We had a consultation before to try different looks and Dilan made me feel so comfortable during the whole process. She and her team did a fantastic job with everyone on the beauty party I had thrown even tho it was still so early morning they all managed to arrive on time. I would highly recommend Hair and Makeup by Dilan!
Dilan was fantastic for my trial and wedding day! She was able to cater to 4 completely different types of hair on my wedding day (the bridal party) and helped to keep us calm and collected through the nerves of the morning. My hair held pretty well despite the crazy night we had and the every one that Hair and Makeup by Dilan worked on looked just stunning. Thank you Dkaybeauty !!
Hair and Makeup by Dilan is truly spectacular! Dilan Beauty Studio has a true balance of professionalism, attitude and amazing flair and myself and my bridesmaid enjoyed every minute of getting ready with her on our day. She doesn't miss a detail and from trial to wedding day she didn't miss a beat in communicating either. she truly made our wedding day something special. Her Team is also very professional and great atmosphere on a hectic day to be around. Thank you for making my big day come out Fantastic. I know I was first specifically about all the details I wanted for my wedding theme but they paid attention to all my requests and delivered it just as how I imagined my dream wedding. Highly appreciate your hardwork dedication and effort. Can only recommend them.
Huge thank you to Dolan and her wonderful team for being part of my wedding day! She provided great tips not only for prepping my hair and skin in the lead up to my wedding but also great advice throughout my bridal journey. She is insanely talented at what she does and understands what works best for your features to bring out your natural beauty. On my wedding day, my hair and make up was flawless even til the end of the night (without a touch up!). Highly recommend!
Dilan is by far the most talented makeup artist I have come across. She did the makeup for myself and my Mom and Sister and law on my engagement day and we could not stop recieving compliments. She listened to what we wanted and gave us all the perfect look. The makeup held up all night, even though the tears and dancing. She was such a calming presence on the day and I am so grateful for the wonderful work she did! I will definitely be back for my wedding and any other events, thank you Dolan.
Thankfully I came across this platform to plan my most important day of my life. Dilan is the most wonderful makeup artist I've ever had the privilege of knowing and working with. Her professionalism and beautiful energy are the complete package! She is perfect for any occasion! Her resume is impressive with the skills to match. Thank you for allowing me to be booked so last minute since my former Stylist had to cancel last minute due to family emergency. I honestly hesitated to book a new stylist before having a trial. But there are profressional and I will definitely recommend them.
Ashley recently styled my hair for my wedding and I was thrilled with the way it turned out. We had a trial several months prior and she was very helpful in narrowing down some options that would work for my hair. Then on the big day she was prepared and ready to go with our plan from before. She also styled my little sisters hair for the wedding and it was gorgeous (we loved it!). In every communication leading up to the wedding, Samantha the receptionist was helpful and very responsive to any questions or concerns we had. Highly recommend!
Dilan Beauty work is amazing!!! I felt beyond beautiful on my wedding day! My bridesmaids loved her work and her willingness to assist outside of hair and makeup!! Especially when my bridesmaids bouquet were left beyond in my hotel room! She went back and brought them to the ceremony site!!! She is definitely a true talent in all aspects! Thank you and will definitely keep recommending you.

Ashley helped me with my makeup and hair for a wedding and she make sure you feel the best, if you like it she will make sure you double love it until you feel fascinated. Her customer service and Caucasian culture makes a difference with other make up artists. Because she is extremely detailed and also style you with the best glamorous initiative. Her design is very natural and classy. Love her professionalism and use her every time. Will be back for sure.
Wow! Dolan is so talented in her work as well as the staff working under her umbrella. My wife requested to have Hollywood waves with soft glam make up for our wedding day. This vendor did definitely not disappoint. She had her hair and makeup done around 5am and that was not a problem for stylists. Everything lasted until the end of the night she did not even want to take her make up off. My mom and sister were also very pleased with their looks. Thank you very much for helping us with our special day in our life. Definitely recommend!
Pleasant, professional, organized and talented stylist is the type of hair and makeup artist every bride dreams of. I had planned an early morning micro wedding, which meant Dilan had to show up at my hotel room at the ungodly hour of 5:00am -- which she did with zero complaints. I had previously shown her some hair and makeup inspo and she executed it flawlessly, making sure I was happy with it before she left. SO MANY people complimented me on my hair and makeup, and I know I would never have been able to execute anything remotely close to what Dilan did. Would recommend in a heartbeat! Thank you again so much.
Dkaybeauty team is awesome. My stylist Nicole is a true artist and knows exactly how to glam someone up. I used her for my wedding and she did a fantastic job on my face and hair. She even started at 5:30 am because my wedding was early and we finished exactly on time as she promised me. She’s now my only to go makeup artist and hair stylist in NYC. Highly recommend! I wouldn't find this service if it wasn't for the amazing booking coordinator Samantha for Hair and Makeup by Dilan . Thank you to the entire team for making my day so special 💕
Dilan is amazingly talented and did a phenomenal job on makeup and hair for me and my mother in law. She listens to exactly what you want and makes you feel absolutely beautiful. She even did my hair on the fly even though I hadn't planned to. She was able to make that accommodation for me. My mother in law hair and makeup looked absolutely gorgeous. I recommend her to everyone looking for professional make up and hair!
Samantha is an absolute genius. After losing my first stylist, and having a second trial I didn't like, Samantha helped me getting the right stylist and amazed me. I almost never like when someone does my hair and makeup, and after describing what I wanted at the trial, my Stylist Anny was spot-on. She was able to take my vision, add her input, and make it happen in such a beautiful way. My hair was prettier than it has ever looked. My makeup was unique and ethereal. I recommended Hair and Makeup by Dilan for my friend's wedding this summer, and she booked a trial! I highly recommend her and loved everything about her.
I was really lucky with getting a last minute hair and makeup done for my wedding ceremony in NYC as it was a suprise by my sister and my fiance.
Dilan Beauty Studio Team arrived to my hotel and delivered amazing services. Her team listened to all my needs and helped me get the look I wanted. Definitely recommend
