Donna and her team are absolutely AMAZING! I've been a bridesmaid a few times with her at the helm, and when it came time for me to walk down the aisle, the choice was obvious to book her for hair and makeup for myself and my girls.
She and her top hair person came to my apartment for my trial (and even did a trial for my now mother in law) - so no need to go to a salon. They were able to work with my clip in extensions, and make sure I got everything I wanted in my (I will admit) meticulous requests.
I could not be happier with how my hair and makeup turned out for my wedding day, but also, they were able to get through NINE of my close girl friends for either hair or makeup plus both hair and makeup for my MOH, MOB, AND MOG and I! Just two women! So speedy and everyone looked so good!!
Payment via venmo was so easy and they were prompt and so sweet! I would absolutely hire them again for any other events!!
10/10!!
We hired Donna & her team for our March 25, 2023 wedding and she was beyond incredible.
Donna is incredibly attentive, professional, and of course, insanely talented. Her and her team were able to do hair and makeup for 13 people in under three hours with everyone coming out looking flawless, and she made the process so easy - from consultation to trials to booking.
I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day, and my bridesmaids were raving about how their hair and makeup turned out - that they didn't feel "overdone" at all, and felt absolutely gorgeous. Donna is amazing - BOOK HER!!!
I hired Donna to do my wedding. Donna did my makeup and Jen did my hair. They went above and beyond for me! They were so professional and so sweet. They were on time and everyone just loved there hair and makeup.
Thank you so much for making me feel like a princess! I would highly recommend Donna Lance!
Never Felt So Beautiful 👰🏼♀️❤️
After reviewing and speaking to other makeup’s artists I chose Donna Lance for my wedding makeup. I am SO happy with my decision. I never felt so beautiful. I hardly wear makeup and was requesting a natural look which Donna nailed during our trial. I booked Donna for for myself and 8 of my bridesmaids, our makeup lasted all night and some of my girls even wore the eye makeup the next day to our brush. Donna was sweet, kind , and most importantly listened to exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I would recommend Donna to all future brides.
I got married on 9/10/22 and hired Donna Lance and her team for hair and makeup for 10 girls. After my experience, I would not recommend them to any bride.
I had my trial in November 2021 and signed a contract with Donna in February 2022. At the time of contract signing, Donna was given the number of clients and the venue location.
Our final agreed upon arrival time was 9am, which was confirmed in July 2022.
The afternoon before our wedding I was informed that they would be an hour late, with a planned arrival time of 10:00-10:15am due to transportation issues. I was assured that we would still be finished by 2pm. I reminded her of our agreed upon 9am start time and she agreed to send her first hair stylist to the location at 9am although Donna and the second stylist, Jen, would be late.
The first stylist Amy was on time and ready to start hair at 9am, but we soon realized something was wrong when she began to doze off while styling the girl’s hair and took multiple breaks and trips to the bathroom, which made much more sense when one of my bridesmaids saw her pouring vodka into her travel coffee mug. At this point Amy was visibly intoxicated and incapable of doing her job. There was no direct communication to me from Donna or Jen that morning, and they did not arrive and start their services at the venue until approximately 11am (one hour after their already late ETA, two hours after the contracted start time).
Donna ended up having to call an Uber/Lyft for Amy and sending her home because she was unable to do her job.
Once they arrived, Donna and her second stylist Jen were professional and quick. They did a great job on everyone’s hair and makeup and everyone was finished by 2pm despite having to redo every style that Amy had attempted earlier. Donna claimed she was late because the “venue was further away than she thought”, which is an unacceptable excuse in todays age of technology considering that she was aware of the location of the venue from the signing of our contract last year.
At 2pm, after our hair and makeup was complete, Donna calculated the total of the services with no breakdown of cost. I did not question the price and promptly paid her the amount she requested because at this point I just wanted them to leave so that we could continue on with our day. I tipped her and Jen despite the events of the day because all of the girls did look great and Donna did finish on time as promised. She then “apologized for causing me stress” and left.
I received a text message from Donna the next morning apologizing for being late and informing me that Amy had been removed from the company. She asked for photos of the girls hair and makeup styles and refunded me $100 for the trouble, less than 4% of what I paid including tip. Needless to say, I did not answer her message.
I would not want any other bride to have to experience this level of unprofessionalism. While Donna and Jen did a great job once they arrived, they created an unnecessarily stressful environment for the morning. As a wedding vendor, Donna has no respect for her clients time and was difficult to deal with throughout the entire process (she was late to my trial and rushed through the process then as well). If you are flexible with your timeline, you may not have a problem, otherwise I would look elsewhere for a more reliable team.
Donna and Christine were amazing! They did my sister's wedding so I knew I was in good hands, but I am so happy with how it turned out. We had a trial and they worked with me to have me look exactly how I want - even going lighter on the eyeliner since I don't wear a lot of makeup. Day of, they were so much fun and put on some fun music to lighten the mood. They were chatting with us all day and really made it a fun time instead of a nervous/anxious time. They did me, my sister, and my mom, and all 3 of us had different desires and Donna and Christine made sure we were all happy with our looks. I was able to be fully confident in how I looked on my wedding day thanks to them!
Donna Lance and her team were AMAZING!! I felt like a princess on my special day. The hair and makeup for myself and bridesmaids was flawless & lasted all night!! I had a great experience. Would highly recommend to all future brides!!
Donna is the absolute best makeup artist. She is super talented and always does my makeup exactly how I want it to look. She is reliable, fast and an all around talent! Wouldn’t use anybody else!
I can’t say enough good things! My wedding was changed due to covid and I had to find new hair and makeup people last minute. Donna was great! She set up trials so quickly and I was able to book them right away! She did a beautiful job on makeup for myself and my bridesmaids, and even gave a little to my daughters to make them feel special! Jen did a fantastic job on our hair as well, even my 6 year old who can’t sit still! The conversation was relaxed and comfortable, and made a stressful morning much more fun! I highly recommend working with them!
Donna and her team are exceptional at hair and makeup! I had 8 bridesmaids and two mothers that were all extremely happy with their looks. Donna and her team had great awareness for timing. We were able to finish early so a few girls could have touch ups done on their hair. One of the hair stylists waited until after photos with the girls and until I was in my dress so she could help pit on my veil. She even showed the girls how they would take it out. Also, throughout the tone before the wedding Donna was just a text away. She ALWAYS answered me no matter how silly my questions.
All in all, I highly recommend Donna and her team as stylists for everyone’s dream wedding!
Donna is such an amazing makeup artist! She did my makeup for wedding and she did above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and did an amazing makeup job! She is also a personal friend and she’s the sweetest :) I 100% recommended her for weddings but also for other events!
Donna did hair and make up for my wedding this past weekend. She was professional, on time and kept to her schedule. She had two girls come to help with hair. We actually finished an hour early AND everyone got touch ups before she left. She was fun to work with, the conversation was great and it was like we were all hanging out with friends. I cannot recommend Donna enough!
Thank you Donna for doing SUCH an amazing job on my make up! I can't thank you enough!
I would definitely recommend Donna Lance! They did my Hair and makeup for my wedding day. They are the BEST makeup artist and hair stylist out there!! and she is very professional and very sweet! Thank you So much for making me and my whole Bridal party so Beautiful and Happy!!!
Donna has done my make up a couple times now for important events. She’s wonderful! Pleasant to be with, quick, and her work is flawless. I highly recommend her!
I can't say enough about Donna Lance! Donna is by far the most talented make up artist! Being able to handle multiple personalities during my daughter's wedding (including my own) was beyond helpful! Every wedding is stressful and Donna heled ease that stress with her easy going and fun personality!!! Her laughter is infectious and made the day spectacular.
Every bride's maid was ecstatic about how they looked. And I didn't think my daughter could look more beautiful than she already is...but Donna exceeded those expectations. Thank you for such an amazing Day Donna! You are now part of our family!
Donna is the best! She is super professional and very prompt with timing. She was so much fun and did a beautiful job! I highly recommend her!!!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!
5 stars are not enough!!! To say Donna is talented is an understatement. She is truly exceptional and a master of her craft. Donna has been doing my makeup for years, for everything from special occasions to photo shoots. She consistently delivers the perfect, natural face that I am comfortable with but I also know that I can trust her to take me out of my comfort zone for a more dramatic look if the occasion calls for it. Donna is equally as pleasant and personable as she is talented. She will always put you at ease and treats you like a friend. As I said, 5 stars simply are not enough. None better than Donna Lance.
Thank you so much for the best hair and make up experience. They first did my hair and make up for my brothers weddings and then I just had to have them for my own wedding! They listened to all of wishes and concerns and made me feel so comfortable! I recommend them to everyone!
Donna and her team were fantastic for my August wedding. They were super fast and did an awesome job for me, my bridesmaids, and my mother-in-law. They were also super accommodating to our individual styles.
I had my makeup done by Donna this past Friday for my daughter's wedding. She did such an amazing job and I felt fabulous the whole day! The makeup lasted the ENTIRE day and evening and my skin looked flawless. I was actually happy with every picture I took that day which, for me, is very rare lol. The wedding was planned very quickly and I had actually forgotten to book my makeup until 4 days before the wedding. Donna happily accommodated me and got my makeup done quickly on the big day to accommodate my hectic schedule. I will ALWAYS book Donna for my big events! Thank YOU Donna!!
They are amazing!! Donna, the owner who does makeup, and Jen, her hair stylist, made my wedding day so beautiful and chill with their super calm, easy going demeanors. They did an incredible job, running smoothly and on time, for the 8 women in my bridal party and 2 flower girls. They were SO great with the kids! Prices are great too. We got compliments all night about how beautiful hair and makeup looked, and it really stayed all together all day and though the night. Could not recommend them any higher. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thank you Donna and Jen!
Donna was recommended to me by a coworker and I was not let down! Donna came to my house for a trial on both my mother and I and it was stunning. Her and Jen, who did our hair, are great at what they do. They did 5 of my bridesmaids hair and make up and were able to enhance all of their beauty while still having them look like them! Donna and Jen are quick with their work and worked on 5 bridesmaids, 1 mother of the bride, and the bride in about two hours! I would highly recommend using them, and can see myself using them again!
Donna completed my make up for my brothers wedding and I was so incredibly impressed that I wanted to book her for mine as well. She was booked so she immediately helped schedule her team for my wedding and they absolutely crushed it! I cannot say enough good things about Gloria (makeup) and Christine (hair). I felt like the most beautiful bride in the world after these two worked their magic on me! My bridesmaids all loved their look and we stayed perfectly on time. Definitely would recommend Donna or her team to anyone!
Joanne married on 07/28/2017
If you want the natural look, Donna Lance is your girl, makeup artist. Her background and experience is impressive, her knowledge is extensive, she is a professional, and truly a delight. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see if like or not or if want less or more. The day of the wedding she came early, brought tunes, straws so we didn’t ruin our lip gloss, and touch up bag., My sister found Donna online for her wedding. Donna did such a beautiful job for my sis, mom, and sis’s bridemaids at my sis’s wedding that I asked Donna if she would do mine to which she said yes and I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for. I would work with her again and would recommend her to anyone I know. If only she could pop out of my makeup bag every day ;).
We got married on 9/21/18. Donna’s team arrived early, looked professional, and were super organized. The whole team made us ladies feel amazing and look beautiful. Our makeup and hair held up great all day too! Prices are totally reasonable and so worth it. My wedding was the 3rd wedding I’ve been involved in who used this team and their service was excellent as usual!
Donna was very easy to work with and did a beautiful job! She was kind, fun and responsive every step of the way, from my initial inquiry to the wedding day. Thank you Donna for everything!
Donna and Jen are absolutely amazing! They did all of the hair and makeup for my wedding day. This included me, my mom, mother-in-law, grandma, and my nine bridesmaids (so, a lot of people). Donna also did makeup for my rehearsal dinner for me, my mom, and my sister. I cannot recommend Donna and Jen, and their colleagues Gisella and Christine, highly enough! They are beyond punctual (as in, early, which really contributed to making my wedding less stressful) and professional, and they have wonderfully positive attitudes. They managed the morning effectively, so everything ran smoothly and everyone was finished with hair and makeup earlier than we planned and we could get pictures started. This was no small feat given how many people were getting both hair and makeup done. They are also really fun to hang out with, so we all had a blast getting ready. In addition, Donna completely handled and smoothed over an awkward situation with a guest who had not been invited to get ready with me but showed up anyway, which I was grateful for. And on top of it all—Donna, Jen, Gisella, and Christine are incredibly talented at hair and makeup. Every time I look at wedding day pictures, I am so happy with how Donna and Jen did my hair and makeup as well as all of the ladies in the wedding, who looked so gorgeous and were really happy with their looks too. All of our hair and makeup lasted the entire day. My bun was still in perfect shape at the after party! And I loved the makeup that Donna did for me, my mom, and my sister for our rehearsal dinner too. Plus, I have received compliments from other guests who told me that, of all the weddings they have been to, they thought our hair and makeup were the most beautiful. I am beyond grateful to Donna, Jen, and their team, and I absolutely and without hesitation recommend them! I wish that they could do my hair and makeup every day!
Donna and Jen were so wonderful with my and my bridesmaid's hair and makeup. My original makeup artist kept canceling on my trial, so I needed to find someone else much closer to my wedding date than I wanted, but thankfully Donna was available to take care of everything!! They were both so sweet and skillful, we were actually done an hour early! Everyone's hair & makeup lasted throughout the day & night with no touch ups necessary! Would highly recommend and use again for other special events!
I cannot say enough about Donna Lance as a person and her talent as a makeup artist! I had the pleasure of having Donna prep my mom, 3 girls, a 6 year old flower girl and me for my wedding on September 15, 2018. Donna was nothing short of AMAZING!! She is extremely talented, friendly, funny, caring, and takes pride her work. My makeup held all night and did not need to be retouched, she was fun to work with and extremely professional. I can't wait to have another event and have her prep me again.
I used Donna Lance for hair and makeup for myself, bridal party and moms. There were 5 girls, 2 moms and 2 flower girls and everyone was done within a few hours. They came to our hotel suite and set up shop quickly. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, hair and makeup staying in place all day. I had a trial ahead of time which I highly recommend so you do not need to make any decisions on the big day. I was so pleased with my hair and make up, they really listened to what I wanted. It was also extremely convenient that they travel and we did not have to go to a salon. They are calm, easy going but very professional. Recommend!
I used Donna lance for hair and makeup for my wedding day and her and her team were very professional and worked efficiently. Me and my bridesmaids came out looking gorgeous just as I pictured it. I couldn’t ask for anything better. I highly recommend using Donna and her team of stylist for your special day. Great job Donna !
I had the pleasure of having Donna do my makeup for my wedding and she made me look and feel beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone who wants exactly what they ask. She paid attention to detail as I described exactly what look I wanted to accomplish for my special day. She was professional and friendly and I am extremely satisfied with my results.
Amazing!!! I am forever grateful to Donna and Jen from Donna Lance Hair and Makeup! From the very beginning, Donna was extremely kind, responsive, and honest. She made me feel so comfortable even though I booked her service somewhat last minute. Jen came to my house for a hair trial and did a beautiful style. We had so much fun chatting and getting to know one another. Even though I loved the style, I changed my mind a few weeks later and Donna and Jen were more than accomodating to help me set up another trial. For this trial, I visited Jen's beautiful hair studio, Antoine's Salon in Ridgewood. We had margaritas and spinach dip and did a re-trial which turned out more than amazing. The day of the wedding Donna and Jen came to my apartment and were more than amazing despite the tiny apartment and tons of ladies! They gave each bridesmaid a beautiful style unique to everyone's individual personality. They were flexible and open-minded and were a fun addition to the wedding day! It wouldn't have been the same without them. I had multiple comments from guests on just how beautiful all the hair and makeup specifically was. I would honestly recommend these women to anyone who needs hair and makeup for any event. They are truly genuine people who you can trust to do an amazing job. I will always remember the special role they played in my wedding. Thank you so much!!
Whenever I have a formal event, Donna Lance is my go-to makeup artist. Her classy artistry makes any woman appear red carpet ready without looking unnatural. Only book your makeup with Donna Lance because you won't be disappointed.
Donna and Jen were incredible with our hair and makeup. They worked efficiently but carefully, and had such a positive energy the entire time. Highly recommend!
Donna Lance did an amazing job for my July wedding! Everything came out so beautifully!
Donna and Jen were great! They were really easy to work with and were able to do my hair and make up exactly how I showed them. They were efficient with my whole bridal party and made the whole process easy!
Thank you again!
Jessica
Donna was awesome from my trial to the day of the wedding doing our makeup. I do not wear a ton of makeup usually so she gave me the perfect made up natural look. We also used Donna's associate Christine to do our hair and she did an awesome job as well. They were also very affordable compared to other weddings I have been in the metro area.
I absolutely loved the way I looked after Donna did my makeup for a wedding I was in. I had to call her back to doll me up again for an event I had, and I will absolutely being in touch with her again. She's lovely! She made me feel comfortable and knew exactly what would look good on me. Thank you for your wonderful services!!!
I cannot stop raving about Donna and her team! Not only are they highly professional, they are incredibly skilled in their area of expertise. With Donna's help, I looked/felt so beautiful on my special day. And to top it all off, Donna's personality absolutely beams! While she did my makeup she was friendly and kind. She made me feel so comfortable- it was such a pleasant experience. I will not trust anyone else. The service she provides is nothing short of amazing.
If I could, I'd give 3 1/2 stars here. This rating is for both Donna and Jen (for hair). They were great to work with, they were on time and professional, and I loved my hair and makeup as well as my bridesmaids/family hair and makeup. The negatives--one of my eyelashes came loose after the ceremony and during pictures! I forgot to bring my own glue, but luckily my cousin had some so I tried my best to reapply it before the reception. My hair--beautiful, but by the time I got to the reception most of the curl was gone which was quite upsetting now that I see the videos and pictures. I really liked them and would use them for other events possibly, but not as a bride on my wedding day I don't think based on the negatives listed above. It was a hot day, but my usual hair stylist saw my pictures and said that my hair should have held up better than it did and that not enough spray was used.
Donna and Jen were amazing! They did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower and wedding day along with my whole bridal party! Everyone looked amazing! I will be booking her in the future for any special event coming up!!! Thank you both for everything I looked like a princess and felt like a queen! 😘
Donna and Christine do amazing work. Their promptness in sticking to my timeline and their calm while doing so was so professional. They made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and my eight bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom all felt incredible heading out into the spotlight. Thank you to Donna Lance Hair & Makeup!
I had my makeup done by Donna as a Maid of Honor in my friend's wedding 4 years ago, and she did a fabulous job then. So when I was looking to book a makeup artist for my own wedding this summer, I knew I wanted Donna. She was great, my girls and I looked wonderful, and my makeup stayed all night!
Donna made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She was so flexible during my trial and my wedding day. She even stayed late so that my photographer could get those "final touches" pictures. All of my bridesmaids LOVED their make up! I felt like she was one of the girls- really enjoyed having her with us on my wedding day. If you are considering booking her- just do it and thank me later! :)
Donna provided the makeup and hair for my daughter's wedding this Sunday. They were punctual, professional and delivered exactly what was asked for. The girls, especially the bride looked amazing, and the makeup lasted all day and night, despite the 92 degree heat. Donna is truly an "artist". Highly recommended!
As a singer, I've had many people do my makeup. This by far has been one of the most pleasurable experiences. Donna Lance's passion for what she does exudes unto the face she touches. This lady is professional, punctual, works extremely fast yet seamlessly and does it all while making the experience completely personal and intimate. She took the time to first find out what look I was looking for, gave suggestions, tips for my makeup and skin and understood scientifically how to bring out the best in my skin. The end result, I looked amazing and felt more confident as I walked out in front of the crowd. Priceless! I highly recommend her.
I just had my trial with Donna for my bridal makeup (Jen for hair) and the results were absolutely amazing! Donna and Jen were extremely professional, polite, friendly, and really delivered a stunning look. They both really listened to what I wanted and were happy to make adjustments to ensure I was comfortable. AMAZING! I can't wait to see how it all ties in with my wedding dress on the big day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Donna Lance is by far the best makeup artist I've ever tried. I was thrilled by her professionalism, punctuality, and her amazing love for what she does. She is a pleasure to meet and her work is just So Fabulous!. Enjoy The Best Donna Lance Hair & Makeup 👰🏼💄💖
I met Donna first when getting my hair & makeup done as a bridesmaid in 2015. I loved her so much I used her for my own wedding last September. She & her team are professional, fun, & fantastic! I looked like the most beautiful version of myself - not too overdone or underdone. I would highly recommend her to every woman.
The girls did great! They listened to what I was asking for, even though I probably had no idea what I was saying, and delivered my vision perfectly. The make up lasted the night, and stayed perfect for pictures. Their down to earth personalities made getting ready a breeze, and I appreciate that they made my mom/MiL feel like movie stars.
Donna and her team were very punctual and did a beautiful job on my bridesmaids and myself. We were very happy with her work and she got us out the door to our pictures in record time! I highly recommend her!
I literally couldn't wait to write this review. Donna is AMAZING. She is polite, professional, and does amazing work. I genuinely felt so beautiful after she did my make up. I know people always tell the bride they look beautiful on their wedding day, but when people told me that, I felt it, I just felt so pretty. I can't say enough about Donna. AND I got married outside (in the rain!) and my make up still stayed on all night. I gave her very little direction on my make up and she just knew exactly what to do. love love love her. I highly recommend her to any bride!
It was a pleasure to work with Donna and Kathleen before and on my wedding day. My hair & make-up looked gorgeous!! It felt very light and fresh! The ladies were so fun and professional--a perfect mix! Thanks for all your beautiful work, patience & expertise! It was truly a most unforgettable time!! So glad to have worked with you both.
Donna and Her team were a pleasure to work with on my sisters wedding day. They were very sweet, professional & knowledgable. Our Makeup & Hair came out Perfect. I highly recommend Donna Lance Makeup . Such a wonderful experience I will never forget!
Donna is such a doll. She is a wonderful and very skilled MU artist. She is so easy going and so great working with. She is always available to talk and answer any questions. On the day of my wedding she did not leave until each bridesmaid, mother of bride, mother of groom and I all looked perfect! I loved working with her and highly recommend her!
Donna is professional, punctual, talented, and sweet! She did such an amazing job with my makeup and my bridal party's makeup! I would recommend her to all brides. I felt very relaxed because she was prepared, timed everything perfectly, and made sure my makeup looked how I wanted it. Book her. You won't be disappointed! ;)
I've always considered having my make-up done a very "up close and personal" event. I look for someone who I feel I can trust and that I can allow into my "personal space". Someone who can create a "look" I have envisioned but who feels comfortable enough to offer their suggestions and who could tell me just what would work. In meeting Donna, that is exactly who I found. Not only is she professional, and talented, she truly shows the love she has for her job.. Donna is sweet, caring, her smile brightens up a room and her face is always "picture perfect". I know that with her, I am forever in the best of hands. I am honored to have her as my friend and I would recommend her to anyone, because I know the results would never be disappointing.
Donna did such a beautiful job! And I cannot say enough good things about her work! I received so many compliments on my makeup that evening. I wish she could do my makeup ever day!
Donna Lance and her team were absolutely amazing for my wedding! I had a large wedding party with 12 bridesmaids, plus my mom, mother-in-law, and aunt! Donna and her team arrived at my house ready to go for hair and makeup early and we're done with time to spare!! I was so pleased with my makeup! She gave me the natural, yet beachy and sun kissed look that I wanted! It was perfect for my wedding at the Bronx Zoo on June 25th! Some of my girls who have never gotten their makeup done professionally were nervous about it before that day, but were blown away by Donna's makeup! Everyone looked so beautiful! She enhanced everyone's beauty and everyone could not have been happier!! Thank You so much!!!
Donna did makeup for me and my whole bridal party for my 4-15-16 wedding and she was wonderful! She is so sweet, keeps everyone calm, does exactly what you ask for and super fast. My mom was so nervous to have her makeup professionally done and she absoultely loved the way Donna made her look. All my girls looked gorgeous and loved her! When she was done I felt like a princess! I highly recommend Donna, she is very talented!
Donna and her team did an AMAZING job for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and the MOB. They moved fast (30 minutes or less per service, and delivered high quality. Just be aware what you are asking for since some things are add-ons.
I had an amazing experience using Donna Lake makeup for my wedding day. She did my makeup, my bridesmaids' makeup, and my mom's. She worked with our sequence of events for the day and was able to start early due to early photos prior to the ceremony. She was punctual and very accommodating and answered all of my concerns. Donna provided the highest quality of service and professionalism and uses reputable products. I felt that she truly enjous what she does and that showed in how stunning she made us all look and feel.

Donna and Kim did my makeup and hair, respectively, for my wedding in October 2015. They are professional, talented and wonderful people to work with! My hair and makeup, along with that of my 5 bridesmaids and mother-in-law's, looked exquisite and stayed in all night! I looked glamorous, stunning and received compliments all night long! I definitely recommend them both for your wedding!
I had Donna for my wedding on 9/26/15 and she did such an amazing job! Her and Rhonda are an awesome team and they are a joy to work with. They really understand the type of look you are going for and even make it look better then you thought. I would highly recommend them to anyone for your hair and make up. I didn't want to have the hassle of going to a salon and the fact that they come to you really takes a lot of stress out of your day. I really felt stunning on my wedding day with my hair and make up and I received so many compliments. I wish I could have my make up done every day by her!!! :)
Donna really saved the day when it came to my makeup. I had originally done a trial with my selected hair salon and was incredibly disappointed. I very quickly started calling friends for other recommendations and found Donna. It was by-far one of the easiest wedding appointments! Donna knew exactly what I was looking for, even if I couldn't really articulate it well. On the day of the wedding, she was fantastic! She finished everyone on-time and everyone was so happy with the end result. She was able to create the exact look everyone was looking for. I can't thank Donna enough for squeezing us in! She made me feel stunning when it counted the most.
I did my hair and makeup trial with Donna and Rana. They came to my apartment for my trial and was satisfied that both the hair and makeup lasted all day. (The look on my fiance's face once they were done was priceless!) They day of, they both arrived on time and quickly set up and got started. All of my BMs and Flower girls had their done as well as my mother but only a few us had makeup done. Rana was great with my 3 year old flower girl who was very hesitant at first but she ended up loving it. Donna made sure to check with me as to what type of look I wanted before she even started on the BMs. She also did a fantastic job on my mother who NEVER wears makeup. She didn't look everdone at all. And last but not least, both Rana and Donna made me look and, more importantly, feel absolutely beautiful!
I just got married last week (9.4.2015) and I am still amazed at how beautiful I looked. The image that I had for my wedding was certainly reached. All of my bridesmaids were pleased with their makeup as well. The quality of makeup that Donna used lasted from morning to night. Donna did such a fantastic job in making my wedding day amazing.
All i can say is this is the team that everyone needs on their special day!!! im obsessed with my hair and makeup couldn't thank these ladies enough for making my day extra special!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
Positives:
-Most importantly, I felt beautiful on our wedding day. I loved the way my hair and make up came out. It stayed on and stayed in for the entire night! Even my teenage male cousins had the nicest compliments for me :)
-My 7 bridesmaids looked naturally gorgeous. Only my maid of honor's hair fell.
-When I did a trial with Donna and Rana, before I even got to my brother's wedding, my hair came out. Bobby pins were falling out left and right. Donna and Rana offered to do a retrial free of charge.
-Nine people got both their hair and make up done on our wedding day and we were finished about twenty minutes ahead of schedule.
Negative:
I had read in a review that for another (smaller sized) wedding, Donna came to do the bride's make up and then left while the assistant did the two bridesmaids'. Because of this, I made sure to have included in our contract that Donna, Rana and the assistant would be with us from 9:30am until 1pm. A few weeks before our big day, I emailed Donna to confirm. Donna told me that the assistant would be arriving at 9:30am but that she and Rana would be arriving around 11 after they did another wedding. I reminded Donna of our contract, but she told me she would never book herself out for for that long?
Donna and I eventually spoke on the phone; I explained that I was now nervous about timing because I couldn't see how 9 girls could get hair and make up done in 2 hours if they didn't arrive until 11am. I explained that I booked her based on my experience with her and Rana and that I did not want an assistant doing the majority of our services. I feel badly for the other bride that morning, but Donna did compromise with me. On the day of, the assistant and Rana arrived at 9:30am and Donna arrived around 10am.
Donna and her associates were simply amazing! I had 13 girls that needed to get their hair and makeup done and everyone was completed on time and looked beautiful! Nothing but great things to say about this group of professionals!
I used Donna Lance and Rana for my July 11th wedding and words cannot describe how amazing these two ladies are. My hair and makeup were PERFECT, and my bridal party couldn't stop raving about the level of expertise, talent AND personality this dynamic duo had. They came highly recommended by a good friend of mine, and I can absolutely see why. I will continue to use them for years to come! Love love LOVE them!!!
Donna and Rana were absolutely wonderful and started my wedding day off right! First of all, they are extremely punctual, which is so important when you have a strict schedule to stick to. They are such a fantastic team and work really well and efficiently together. They were able to get through 5 bridesmaids, my mother and myself in 3 hours, while still having time to do touch ups. Rana is amazing with matching the hairstyles to the pictures you show her, all of my girls were so happy with their hair, me especially! She recreated what we went over in the trial perfectly, if not better! Rana was so patient and made hair changes to some girls who couldn't make up their mind and even gave one of my girls a quick trim! Also, I've had my makeup professionally done a few times now, and Donna has by far my best experience. I had one experience where I felt like I wasted my money because I could have done what she did, and another time I felt completely overdone and I had to fix it before going out, but with Donna I felt absolutely flawless and beautiful (which is not something I say about myself very often). Same thing with all the girls, whether they wanted a more natural or more smokey look, it was done very tastefully and perfect for pictures Everyone looked stunning! Donna and Rana are so sweet and I'm so happy they were a part of my big day. If you are a bride that is worried about your makeup fading or your hair falling down towards the end of the night hire Donna Lance Hair & Makeup. It wound up raining all day, and after Donna and Rana left that was the first thing I worried about. I was convinced everything was going to get messed up, but they did such a fabulous job that my girls and I looked gorgeous all the way to the after party! And we even took pictures outside in the rain! I can't say enough about Donna Lance Hair & Makeup. They are simply the best!
Donna was so amazing! She accommodated our early schedule (6:30am) so easily and we didn't need to worry about anything for hair and makeup! The girls loved their hair and makeup and were complimented all day. Even with rain and tons of dancing, the looks stayed all night! She was amazing! Highly recommended!
Donna and Rana were fantastic! Myself, my mother, and all of my bridesmaids received hair and makeup for my wedding day. Everyone looked stunning. Their prices are definitely reasonable and the quality of service far exceeded my expectations. They were extremely quick and efficient as well. Needless to say, I was very impressed. I am so thankful that I found these two ladies to help make my look and feel beautiful on my big day. Thank you!
Glam Squad At It’s Finest! Dynamic Duo is the best way to describe Donna and Rana. The girls are hair and makeup ROCKSTARS. They are so talented! Needless to say I was over joyed with my decision to work with them for my wedding. Donna’s style is natural, enhancing a girl’s natural beauty and playing up her best features, which is what I love about her work. My husband’s one request was that I didn’t look over done on our wedding day and Donna was the right person to make that happen! And Rana can do anything and everything with hair. Up, down, curls, pins, etc. no request was too tough for her! The girls were efficient (had 7 girls getting their hair done and 5 girls getting make up done – both including the bride), finishing their glam duties 45 mins early! Their pricing was reasonable as compared to others and they were local for me which really played into my decision considering my wedding was on a Friday and city traffic Friday AM can be a beast. I would recommend Donna and Rana to anyone. LOVED the girls and their work!! Thanks Donna & Rana
I was so glad to have Donna and Rana for makeup and hair for my wedding day. Donna and Rana worked quickly and efficiently to get myself, 6 bridesmaids, and moms ready EARLY! It definitely made all of the difference to have a calm and relaxing morning/afternoon without being rushed from hair/makeup to pictures. For 9 people we started around 8:30am and were finished within about 4 hours. Everyone's hair and makeup was absolutely beautifully done and lasted all day. Towards the end we still had time for touch ups on all of the girls. Donna's prices were very reasonable compared to other vendors and they included eyelashes. I would definitely recommend Donna and Rana for hair and makeup to anyone for their wedding.
I recently used Donna Lance for my daughter's Quinceanera on April 18, 2015. I would highly recommend Donna Lance. She was incredibly reliable, flexible, and did a fantastic job on the make-up of my guests both young and old. I will definitely use Donna for my next event!!!
Donna was so sweet and did a really great job on all of our makeup the morning of my wedding. She was relaxed and laid back the whole time which helped with all the chaos of getting ready the morning of a wedding! She was also flexible when I asked if I could add an additional person to have their makeup done. We had the time and she didn't mind at all. I don't wear a lot of makeup and she listened to what we all wanted and I felt like I looked exactly how I wanted to on my big day! She was so nice to work with and really did a great job :)
Donna and her team are fantastic. We had six of us total and everyone's hair and makeup was awesome. All the girls and moms were so happy. My hair was gorgeous for twelve hours and my sister kept hers in until the next night and still looked great. We had Donna as a referral from my sister who was in a wedding that used her and her team and it was the best decision ever. She is so easy to work with and her communication was great. Thanks again for making me gorgeous!
I got married on November 2, 2014. Donna and her team were amazing. There were 11 of us and we did both hair and makeup. Everyone looked beautiful and Donna was so quick. You always fear running behind, but with Donna you don't have to worry. I was a bridesmaid in another wedding that she did and for both we were ahead of schedule. Rana did everyone's hair. Two of my bridesmaids can never get their hair to hold up even through pictures and both still looked gorgeous at the end of the night. Was very pleased with how everything went!
I was lucky enough to hear about Donna from a woman at a salon.......she showed up at my house with Rana and I have to say these two are the Dynamic Duo!!!! Donna makes my make up look flawless through the day and night and Rana makes my hair stay fresh through the entire event. (Even looks great the next day too!) These two have done about 8 events for me and every time I am more pleased than the last. I have introduced them to friends of mine and everyone has raved about these two. They know what they are doing. You will never look "too made up"....you will only look perfect and the compliments through the evening make the night that much more special for your event! I couldn't imagine any event I go to without using them. Thank you both!!! Keep up the great work! I will be calling you Donna for my next event!
I used Donna for my September 27th wedding for my make-up and she was amazing. I told her I dont normally wear much make-up and that I was looking for a natural look. She gave me exactly what I was looking for and made me look so beautiful. I also used her for my hair and Rana was the one who did that for me and my bridal party. She also did excellent work. Both Donna and Rana are a great team and they have wonderful personalities. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day hair and make-up. They do excellent work.
Donna and her team are truly amazing! First, they are very accommodating and come to you and work around your schedule to set up a trial. Their prices are very fair and reasonable for this market of service. They use the best products and really listen to what you want on your wedding day. I was so pleased with my trial that I used them for my shower and wedding. They took their time with each girl and everyone was absolutely stunning on the wedding day!
I got married out of state and was originally trying to find a hair and makeup artist that was recommended to me. I found Donna Lance on The Knot and based on her amazing reviews, I decided to give her a call. She has the best prices for the professional services she provides. Because I got married out of the state I live in, I was worried that I would not be able to have a hair/makeup trial. After speaking to Donna the first time, she calmed my nerves. She was very responsive to emails/phone calls and let me send her pictures of hair/makeup ideas. The day of the wedding, she and Rena (hair artist) were so professional and so efficient. All of my bridesmaids received services and were so happy with the results. Donna and Rena listened to what we wanted and delivered with results. I was in tears after seeing how beautiful my hair and makeup came out. I highly recommend using Donna Lance. I can't stop raving about her and how amazing my hair/makeup looked as well as all my bridesmaids. You will not be disappointed if you go with Donna!!
