Coming from overseas for a wedding (and a tricky one at that), I was struggling to find a hair and makeup artist in LA. I dealt with a lot of rude behaviour, a lack of interest or ...
lack of responses to queries which was completely off putting. Along comes Diana and Samanda who absolutely surpassed all my expectations. Both true professionals, masters of their craft (but you wouldn't know it, no egos to be found although they work with high profile clientele) and the kindest people you could possible meet. Diana absolutely drilled down to the smallest detail what kind of hair/make up would be best-asking questions, offering suggestions (as I hadn't a clue) - all via email. Pricing/contracts-all a breeze. She even provided what I needed to do, what to expect-I didn't have to ask a thing. All the information was provided. On the day, Samanda created my look and knew exactly what was required. She had all the information Diana had discussed with me. Not only is she incredibly skilled as a hair and make up artist, she steadied my nerves and made me feel so beautiful, I went to that wedding feeling so empowered. She gave me so many little tips and tricks-I am still using them now! What amazed me was my hair and makeup remained in place and looking great from the afternoon to the wee hours of the morning. Diana then followed up, to see how it all went. I could not have asked to be in safer hands with these two wonderful artists. I have to say, I found L.A to be a bit of a difficult city but Diana and Samanda were a highlight of my trip. They made L.A for me, I cannot recommend them highly enough. A class act all the way.
Diana was such a pleasure to work with. She made prepping my hair and skin easy, and was very communicative about what to expect and what to do to prepare for my session. During ha...
ir and make-up she was checking in with each step to make sure I was happy and was very accommodating to my changes. She studied my preferences before coming, so she had a really good understanding of what I was looking for to start. She also went above and beyond to help me pick the best earrings and hair piece for my dress. I was left with a "touch-up kit' that I used throughout the night to keep up with all of the action going on. In booking with Diana you can feel 100% confident that you will look exactly how you always dreamed on your big day. The feeling is very energizing and could not be at a better time. I can't wait to work with Diana again.
Diana was by far the best person I worked with during my whole wedding journey! To be honest, make-up and hair are (in my opinion) the most important decisions you can make on yo...
ur wedding day and it was hard for me to even begin to pick. After reading a few reviews, I gave Diana a call and she immediately made me feel comfortable and was very accommodating based on schedules/locations.
I started out with a trial for the big day and she completely calmed my nerves! During the process she easily adjusted to my likes and dislikes as well as my accessory ideas. She also gave me the best skin care hygiene recommendations to work on before the big day as I have really dry skin. She knows what looks good because she has the experience and the EYE for it! On my wedding day she totally went above and beyond from what I expected with my veil and accessories- the whole look really came together and I have never felt more beautiful! If anyone is having trouble with ideas or trouble settling on looks she is your girl! Not to mention how beautiful my mom looked as well!! Diana is totally professional, sweet and down to earth, genuine person! Definitely give her a call if you want to look your best on your big day. xoxox Thanks again Diana!
Diana is a total professional with a ton of experience and it shows in her work. I looked absolutely radiant on my big day. I seriously don't think anyone could have made me look a...
nd feel so fabulous. Booking Diana was probably one of the best wedding vendor choices I made. Diana was not only great to work with, but she also has trusted advice and input.
Diana was amazing! I can't believe how well it all came together. In our trial, I gave Diana ONE picture (from pinterest of course) and she replicated it EXACTLY and even tweaked t...
he style slightly to match my vision. Me and my bridesmaids all felt and looked like queens! Diana is also very easy going and chill. My wedding day beauty prep went exactly to schedule and there were no issues. Everyone's hair kept their curls the entire night. My hair did not budge AT ALL, and my hair normally falls apart by the end of an event. I would recommend Diana to anyone who wants a stress-free hair day, hands down.
I came out to LA from Boston for a Hollywood event. I found Diana on the internet, and was a little skeptical...but she had good reviews. They are all true, because Diana is truly ...
a talent!!! I've never gotten so many compliments on my make-up. She made me look and feel beautiful!! Besides being great at what she does she was such a pleasure to get to know. Thank you! Thank you! A+++
Diana and her team are extremely professional, attentive and friendly. Her team arrives on time, provides thorough pre-prep instructions and details prior to the date of service, a...
nd helps to contribute to a fun and relaxed environment on the day of an event. All of my brides/clients have only had very positive things to say about their services, and I will gladly continue referring my clients to Brides by Diana!

ng date. She is a perfectionist! On top of that, her organizational skills and professionalism are part of what makes her stand out from many other great hair and makeup artists. With Brides by Diana, you can rest assured that your date is booked and you have a reliable team traveling to you.
I've worked with Diana many times and each is a pleasure! She is professional and personable with her clients and I can tell how happy they are with the results! Not just with how ...
stunning they look but how they are left feeling. I look forward to each wedding with her because I know it's going to be a fun well oiled machine. Her brides are left flawless and beautifully satisfied and I'm happy to be a part of it.
I had my hair done by Diana for my wedding and she did a wonderful job. I went for a 60's inspired updo with a beehive bump (think Adele). Diana was able to execute my vision in a...
classy, non-costumey way. My bump stayed up all night and I received tons of compliments on my hair. My hair looked great in pictures! I have very long heavy hair so I was worried it would fall out, but I had no issues.
Diana is the very best at what she does. She is charismatic, professional, punctual and a true make up artist. This was my first experience with Diana and I cannot be happier with ...
the results! I was not sure what to expect since I found her through her website but I could not have made a better choice. She's a very approachable person who really knows her job! If you want to look stunning at your wedding or any other event, choose Diana and you won't regret it!
Diana and her team are amazing!!
From the very beginning Diana was incredibly helpful, communication was fantastic, and most importantly her services are fabulous. My hair and make...
up was flawless for my wedding, it lasted all day and night, and even into the wee morning hours.
Diana was so much fun to work with.. My bridesmaids and I all had a wonderful time and were very pleased with their final looks. She was just magical!
Will always use Diana and her team for any feature glam needs!
Look no further for your hair and makeup needs for your wedding. Diana was wonderful to work with. She was quick to email me back and her number one priority is to make sure you ar...
e 110% happy with your hair and makeup. I scheduled a trial (which I highly recommend everyone doing) and she checked in with me the following day to see how I liked everything after getting to wear the makeup and hair style for a day. I was honest and told her that I wasn't 100% happy with the hair style at the end of the day and it was more of a personal issue. Without hesitation she told me to pick another day for a hair trial re-do free of charge. This showed me that she really cared and wanted to make everything right.
The day of the wedding she was prompt to set up and start getting all my bridesmaids and myself ready (5:30am!). Diana also gives everyone a makeup touch up kit with the foundation and lipstick color she uses for each person.
Brides By Diana was not the cheapest hair and makeup I found in doing my research but you get what you pay for. I would much rather pay a little more and get the wonderful customer service I got from Diana and the little extra touches like the makeup to-go kit.
Definitely look no further for your hair and makeup and book Brides By Diana. Seriously, stop reading this and pick up the phone/ send an email right now and book Brides By Diana for your wedding. They are the BEST!!!
Diana is AMAZING!! She is super talented and so are those she works with. I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Diana and hair done by Qwendi for my wedding. Not only are...
they so talented, but they are so easy going and friendly. My bridesmaids, mother and myself were all very pleased with our hair and makeup on the wedding day. I had an unexpected add on that day and Diana handled it with ease while still meeting our timeline. I would recommend Diana to anyone reading this and looking for a great makeup/hair artist. You will not be disappointed. Diana is easy to reach and is very responsive to emails, calls, etc. She was my favorite vendor for my wedding because she was always quick to respond and even followed up with me as the wedding date got closer just to check in. I love her and will definitely be reaching out to her again once I have another excuse to get my makeup done. You will not be disappointed I promise.
Diana was so amazing to work with for my wedding. She provided services for myself, 3 of my bridesmaids, and my mom. From the start, Diana was very professional and very responsive...
to emails. She did my hair and makeup for my trial. She completely understood the look I was going for and put together a wedding look so beautiful that I started crying at my trial. For the day of, Diana did all the makeup and she brought in Rae to do our hair. They were both so personable, we all loved them both! My makeup look lasted all day and night. Diana gives you a touch-up kit with some powder, your lipstick color, and some blotting sheets to use throughout the day. She placed my veil in my hair after I got my dress on and anchored it very well so it did not budge during the ceremony and photos. I got so many compliments during my entire wedding. I am so thrilled to have found Diana!
Diana did my hair & makeup (as well as my best friend's makeup) for my recent wedding and the entire experience was wonderful. From the trial session to the actual day of the weddi...
ng, Diana was responsive, friendly, and of course talented. As someone who does not tend to wear a lot of makeup day to day I wanted to be sure that I looked like myself and she was able to achieve a beautiful, natural look that made me comfortable and even amazingly stayed put despite the heat of the summer. I would highly recommend Diana for your wedding beauty needs.
Diana is the BEST!, She did my hair & makeup as well as my 12 year old daughter for our Anniversary/religious wedding. Our looks lasted all night and our guest were impressed.

lt like 20 years younger and like a princess!
Diana was fun, on time and so professional, we had a great time talking and laughing.
Definitely would recommend her services and I can't wait to get her services again, wish I can get glam up by her every week!
Thank you Diana for being such an important part of our special day!

her face. She's truly a sweetheart and is just great to work with. I met her on a fitness campaign shoot, and have called her numerous times since anytime I need hair/makeup services. Headshots, film shoot, and OF COURSE I'll be using her for my wedding. It's hard to find a great makeup artist in LA who can do natural for weddings, but also glam it up a bit for a photoshoot, etc. She's your girl.

tely knew I had to book her for my wedding the following year. Then, one year later, one of my bridesmaids got married and had also been so pleased with Diana she booked Diana for her wedding. Long story short, all of my friends use Diana and we all love her. I got so many compliments on my updo this last wedding that I slept in it and kept it the next day!

Diana did my hair/ makeup for my bridal portraits and my wedding. She did an exceptional job, and we could not have been happier with what beautiful and sophisticated work she did...
. She took what I had in my head and made it a reality.
With so many hair and makeup stylists in the Los Angeles area, I felt really overwhelmed with the decision of who to trust on this special day. After emailing a bunch of different ...
stylists, I immediately felt comfortable with Diana. She was warm and helpful, and you can see from her portfolio that she is very talented. She was extremely responsive and always available via email if I had questions, and put together timelines that were simple and kept us on time and stress free. On my wedding day, she made me feel like the bride I wanted to be and she made my bridal party look like runway models. I would absolutely recommend working with Diana for any special event.
After seeing Diana's work and reading the wonderful reviews she has, i decided right away I wanted to schedule a day for my makeup and hair trial. I don't wear a lot of makeup and ...
I was just looking to correct minor skin discolorations I have. She suggested a natural look i will be comfortable with and focus on bringing out my blue eye color. I didn't know what to do with my hair so I left it all up to her. The trial day went great and I absolutely loved it all!!! She understood what I was looking for since the very beginning, my makeup end up looking so natural and my skin looked even! my hair looked effortless but perfect for the occasion! Diana is very talented and knowledgeable when it comes to creating the perfect look for you, she asked a lot of questions to make sure I felt comfortable with the final look and she was all about creating the right hair style and makeup that will go well with my features. On the wedding day Diana and her team arrived on time, set up and got to work right away. The process of getting makeup and hair ready went super smooth, my bridesmaids looked amazing and my makeup and hair was as beautiful as it did on my trial run!!! I felt amazing and got so many complements! I can't thank Diana enough for all of the beautiful work she delivered, she is so experienced and one of the best at what she does so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed.
Being someone who knows a lot about make-up and has worked in the industry, I am always really picky when it comes to who does my make-up. I am so glad I chose Diana since she is n...
ot only so beautiful and kind but has so much knowledge and passion! She was able to do my make-up exactly how I wanted it. I also have deep skin, so I am always nervous when it comes to complexion. Diana has an amazing kit with a wide range of colors. I did not do a trial before my wedding and she did an amazing job of getting the right foundation color and highlighting all the areas that I wanted to show. She also did an amazing job on my mother-in-law and bridesmaids. I did a lot of research prior to booking Diana and there are a lot of artists who charge so much more. Diana has reasonable costs and uses the highest quality products as well. She goes over and beyond when it comes to make-up and makes you feel so beautiful on your wedding day!
Diana did my hair/makeup and my moms hair/makeup for my wedding. She did an incredible job and matched my inspiration photos exactly! She was super nice to work with and very profe...
ssional. Our makeup and hair turned out amazing and lasted all night long. I definitely recommend Diana!
Diana is my number one "go to" makeup artist. She did my makeup for my wedding (7/2/16). I knew back in November of 2015, when I became engaged, there was one person I could trust....
She makes me feel relaxed and completely confident. I felt like such a princess in her care. She's so professional and so talented. Every face is a custom work of art to her because no two faces are the same. I appreciate that about her. I've referred her to other friends (brides to be) and fitness competitors on competition days as well. She's the best!
I always wanted that princess look on my wedding day and my desire has been fulfilled, thanks to Diana! I was so astonish with her work. She gave me a total makeover using her magi...
c, just like i dreamed of. My make-up was flawless and I had the most beautiful hair style.
Around the time i got engaged, it was my best friend's wedding, I loved how she looked, her makeup was very natural but Diana made her eyes pop, She did such a wonderful job so i decided to give her a call. She was very professional, prompt and reliable. What I like the most is that on the day of my trial she showed me a lot of options and shared her honest opinion on hair styles and makeup looks, she didn't mind trying a few until we found the perfect one for me. I must say, she’s a true make-up artist and i loved the hair!. I am not sure what products she used on me but my make-up remain flawless throughout the day. My husband and i loved the look!.
I had a great experience, If you want to feel beautiful and confident on your wedding day, Diana is the person to contact!
When I was searching for a makeup and hair service, I came across Diana and recalled that a friend of mine had used them for her wedding a couple of years back. After asking a few ...
questions about her experience and getting great feedback, I called Diana and set up a time to have a hair and makeup trial. She knew all of the right things to ask, and I was immediately at ease. I came in with some ideas, and at the trial, Diana's understanding of my ideas and fantastic execution gave me the confidence I needed to hire her.
On the day of my wedding, she arrived on time and came prepared. We all knew what the timeline was for each member of the bridal party, and Diana stayed on task while being fun and personable. I felt like I was in extremely capable hands, and each of my girls looked amazing. When it was my turn in the chair, I was thrilled with her attention to detail; she achieved just the look that I was hoping for, and she used all professional, high-end brands and she was diligent in keeping everything clean and sanitary. She also has great knowledge of what products and techniques will make for the longest lasting look, so my hair and makeup looked beautiful throughout the
I had the Best experience having my make-up and hair done by Diana! She is very talented, really personable, friendly, and professional. I wanted to wait to give this review until ...
I received my wedding photos so I could see how I looked in the professional photos. All I have to say is I looked AMAZING!! My make-up was flawless and my hair truly elegant.
I found Diana through searching the internet and saw the work she has done on different people. I decided to give her a call. She returned my call very quickly and was so pleasant on the phone. We talked about the look that I wanted to achieve and I shared some photos with her. We set up a trial early in the day so I could wear my make-up and hairstyle throughout the day. What she created was spectacular - she is a true artist.
The day of the wedding she showed up on time with her team and immediately got to work. I was a little stressed with the wedding in general but Diana lightened the mood and made me feel comfortable and calm. My bridesmaids and I laughed, drank champagne, and had a great time during hair and make-up. She knew exactly what to use with my skin complexion and the contouring she did was flawless. My skin looked like porcelain after she was done. Wow!! Just wow!! I have to admit my mom started crying when she saw how everything look.
My wedding day was amazing, Diana knew exactly what to do to make my make-up last the entire time. I decided to have Diana stay to do re-touchs throughout my wedding. I'm so happy that I did this I looked flawless right to the end. I don't write reviews often but you would be silly not to hire Diana. Thank you Diana!
As every bride, of course I wanted everything to be perfect, especially my makeup. I have very sensitive skin, so I knew right from the start that finding a suitable make up artist...
using the right makeup products will be a challenge.
I spent a lot of time trying to find the one who will make me feel and look flawless. Although I found some really talented make up artists, I just couldn’t find the right one. I was very nervous and worried because the big day was getting close and was still searching, but fortunately, one of my friends recommended Diana.
I am so glad Diana was available and was able to accommodate to my schedule, we met for a trial and I knew immediately that she will be the one who will help me, Diana delivered what I was expecting and more, I was more that impressed.
I knew she did a wonderful job when I saw my fiance’s face, he had a big smile. I even think he was about to cry when he had first seen me wearing that outstanding make up. My family agreed that Diana made me look beautiful, so I decided to hire her for the big day.
I was so nervous on my wedding day but everything turned out great! my make up was perfect and I looked flawless.
You have no idea how grateful I am to her. I will recommend Diana to everyone. She really saved me.
I hired Diana to do my makeup and hair on my wedding day and Wow was i amaze, i have gotten her info from one of my bridesmaids who had worked with her in the past. She showed up o...
n time, with a big smile and ready to make me look spectacular on my special day.
I had a trial 6 months prior to my wedding but i was still nervous now that this was the actual big day, She quickly got to work and was only minutes before i was completely at easy and knew that there was nothing to worry about.
Walking down the aisle looking into my husbands eyes i knew he was looking at a confident beautiful bride, because that's exactly how i felt.
I just wanna say thank you to Diana, i will be recommending her to all my friends.
Finding someone to do my makeup was the easiest of all my decisions when i was preparing my wedding. My cousin had used Diana and I couldn't believe how she transformed her; she lo...
oked absolutely radiant. That's when i I knew she will be the one doing my makeup and hair and i never regretted my choice for a second.
We had a make-up trial and she took time to really understand the look I was going for. She was able to get it right on the first try. I couldn't find a thing I'd want to change.
On my wedding day Diana arrived 15 minutes earlier. She was so sweet and had a calming effect which was much appreciated since I was a bit stressed. Diana stayed for a few hours to do re-touches. I was impressed by how well the make-up stayed on but I was glad to have her there before pictures to make sure everything was still flawless. She made me look my best! I had such a great experience with Diana that I highly recommend her. She was amazing!
I have known Diana for many years now, and i always knew that when my wedding day came, i would not have to search for someone to do my hair and make up. I have seen her work onlin...
e, and also noticed all the fabulous reviews and I knew I would be in good hands. I decided not to have a trial because I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I wasn't! I really loved the idea of having someone confident at what they do and will understand what we were needing, that was Diana.
On my wedding day she did my makeup and hair, and the makeup for my bridal party, and her assistant did the rest of the hair styling. As I expected, the results were amazing! modern, classy, very detailed and polished. She corrected my skin discolourations and acne marks, OMG, i felt so confident and looked amazing! she nailed every simple and glam look for the bridal party and she found the right balance for each and every one of us. My bridesmaids looked better than anyone could have expected, and she even touched up my now husband.
Thank you Diana for taking the time to come and make us all feel all wonderful!
Diana did SUCH an amazing job on my hair for me wedding, and for all of my nine bridesmaids! She is incredibly talented and can work with any hair texture/style with total ease -- ...
my friend with very curly hair was blown away. She is punctual, easy-going, incredibly easy to work with, detail oriented and has a very natural, sophisticated aesthetic in her work. I had a really wonderful experience working with Diana and highly recommend her!
I had the pleasure of meeting Diana yesterday, as she was hired to provide hair and makeup for filming a TV show. She is AMAZING! She arrived right on time and ready to work! She ...
is extremely talented and had everything you could ask for in a makeup artist! Not only is she extremely professional, she is so personable! She went above and beyond as our personal glam squad to be sure we were camera ready – stepping in for touch ups when the cameras took a break. She successfully achieved the different looks each of us wanted. In addition, she made our hair look fantastic! We filmed two episodes in one day, so it required changing hair and makeup to give the appearance of a second day. For Diana, this was no problem at all! I would highly recommend her for anyone in the greater Los Angeles area needing hair and makeup for any occasion. It’s only been a day and I’ve already sent her contact info to a bride to be and two other professionals in the beauty and TV/film industry. I’m hoping for another day of filming for us, so I can feel so pampered again! Oh, and I still have my lashes on from yesterday!!
I have to admit that I am not the most fashionable person. Usually I walk around in a loose t-shirt and blue jeans. But this was one of those situations where i had to look my best...
- My wedding day. I didn't want to just show everyone that I was a beautiful bride, but I also wanted to look my best for my husband.To say I was nervous would be an understatement. I know most girls are able to quickly navigate their way around makeup and dresses. Me, I'm usually lost and get a friend with me to help me, every time.
I didn't know what i wanted, i decided to choose Diana because she seemed very experienced because of the work i saw on her site, plus she does both hair and makeup. All my nerves were put at ease when i had my makeup and hair trial, she made sure i got exactly what i wanted, my makeup and hair was beautiful. On my wedding day I felt absolutely fantastic. I felt like everyone was looking at me for all the right reasons and i have to say my wedding day was just perfect. I felt so confident. Thank you Diana.
After seeing Diana's quality of work i knew i had to give her a call, she is a wonderful and professional makeup artist to work with who was able to translate everyone's ideas exac...
tly how they wanted, everyone looked stunning!
When we talked she gave me a lot of ideas and was open to suggestions and that really help because I don't wear a lot of makeup and i was worry i will look like somebody else but it all went away on my wedding day after she worked her magic, i realized she didn't try to change my features, rather she was able to enhance them, she gave me a natural look i loved and didn't feel like a was wearing heavy makeup.
Diana and her team did such an amazing job, 6 bridesmaids, 2 mothers and a bride magically transformed on time. The wedding pictures turned out great, her quality of work photographed amazing. I am so happy to say that i have great memories and pictures i will forever love.
I will definitely recommend Diana and her team to anyone.
I have had the pleasure of working with Diana several times, and she is one of the most professional and talented artists I've ever met. She is always on time, in fact she always c...
omes prepared and early which is very rare for LA industry folk. I'd recommend Diana in a second for all your beauty needs! She is top notch and a pleasure to be around.
My wedding day was finally starting to approach which meant it was time to search for salons that would do my hair and makeup. I wasn't thrilled at the idea of traveling to a salon...
on the day of my wedding risking my late arrival. I searched online for a makeup and hair artist that could come to me. I came across Diana's stunning website! You can clearly see that she is a true professional in hair and makeup.
When I contacted her she responded almost immediately and I was quickly put at ease. She didn't seem phased by the countless photos of up-dos and make up styles that I had picked out as inspiration. She listened and gave advice about what would work best for the look I was trying to achieve. She recommended i have a trial, and i am so glad i did. She came to my home and showed me more ideas. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with my hair so she took the time to discuss the best hair styles for my wedding veil. My makeup was subtle as i asked her to be and my hair was so beautiful that I decided to book her on the trial day! I was so happy!
On the wedding day she arrived to my bridal suite right on time and got to work. I was very pleased with the outcome - I wish I could have her around every day to make me look great! Her prices are amazing compared with the outcome. Having her in the privacy of my own suite made me feel like a celebrity.
I will be recommending Diana to future engaged friends of mine and taking every opportunity to use her again!
It would be impossible for me to recommend Diana more highly. Aside from her enthusiasm and natural gift for her work, Diana brings to the job a calmness and attention to detail th...
at was exactly what I needed in my last hours as a single girl. I was naturally a little nervous before she appeared, but immediately on arriving, the tension was gone and I knew I was in the right hands. I wanted a natural look that enhanced my features rather than turning me into someone I am not, and Diana understood completely and effortlessly achieved what I wanted. So if you're looking for someone for your special day to make it even more special, don't look any further than Diana.
I always figured I would do my own H&M for my wedding, as I always have for special occasions, but I wanted to do something different while also being sure that I wouldn't end up l...
ooking like a clown in my photos. Diana did my friend's hair and makeup for her wedding and managed the entire bridal party, as well. I was so impressed with how my friend's makeup looked at the end of the night, so I asked for her info.
Diana is INCREDIBLE. Not only is she so talented, she is also so personable. When she came over for my makeup trial we ended up hanging out for several hours. I loved everything she did and we made a plan for any changes based on how things wore after a few hours. She really paid attention to the mood I was going for. She's also so professional and super tactful when it comes to talking about skin issues or flaws. She was great at creating a schedule for me and 7 other people and I never felt like we were rushed. She even gave my groom a touch up, as well! Her assistant, Rae, was also super talented and friendly. My husband and I got married on NYE so we wanted a fun look but also wanted to keep it classy. I loved how everything turned out. Diana made the day even better by providing the wedding party with touchup kits full of exactly what we needed based on skin type, lip color, etc. The touchup kits were even in our wedding colors! She is just so thoughtful.
By the end of the night, my hair and makeup still looked flawless and I'm obsessed with how everything looks in our photos now that we've gotten them back. Go with Diana. I swear you will not regret it!

air styles ranging from braided chignon, plaited chignon, carousel braids, and a fishtail side braid...and she did a phenomenal job with all the girls and worked within our time line ahead of schedule.

Diana did my hair and makeup for my wedding as well as that of my bridesmaids. I could not give a better review for Diana in terms of her sheer talent, professionalism, and demeano...

Talent: When I say that she achieved the EXACT look I asked for, it is an understatement. She came over a month before the wedding and we did a trial where we tried out a ton of different looks (for hair and makeup) and she explained every option as we went through them. I could not believe that she spent 3 hours with me that day. She really wanted to make sure I was perfectly happy and comfortable with what we did. On the day of the wedding, it was just a matter of recreating the look with small tweaks- no surprises/no day-of disasters. I still cannot believe how perfect the look was, and since Diana has so much experience with film/tv, my makeup translated to photos better than I ever could have imagined. I cannot stress this enough- you want someone who understands how your makeup will photograph, but who also won't make you look "overdone." Diana is a master of this.
Professionalism: Planning my wedding was generally a nightmare. So many hiccups with different vendors and just lots of headaches. I really appreciated the way Diana was in constant communication with me all the way up to the wedding. She always got back to me within the day whenever I contacted her with a silly question. She also created a schedule for me way in advance that had exact set-up, appointments for each girl, touch-ups, and strike times. And not only that, she clearly knew how to build in buffer time. The day of, she arrived right on time and kept us on schedule without any issues the entire day. It went so smoothly, and that was really nice to not be stressed about time. Her tools and equipment make you feel like you are at a professional photoshoot. She also gave each girl the most adorable little touch-up kit with the exact lip color used, extra bobby pins, blotting papers, etc. to take with her for the day. This extra attention to detail was special.
Demeanor: Finally, and really quite simply, Diana is the type of person you want to be with you for 6 hours on your wedding day. Her vibe is so calm and collected. She is sweet and generous, but not over the top. I didn't want someone who was going to make me nervous or who was just too "big" of a personality. She brought this whole peaceful feel to the day, and was always so patient and polite (even when I or my girls were lagging or had run off for a minute). Diana is just so easy to work with. I felt like I could be completely honest with her when I wanted something a little different, and that was huge as I know that other times when I've had my makeup done, I've almost felt ashamed to ask someone to change something. Basically, Diana's demeanor is exactly what I had hoped to bring to my wedding day.
So... I cannot say enough good things about Diana. I usually don't write any kind of reviews (bridal sites, yelp, or otherwise), but I think so highly of Diana professionally and personally, I really wanted to share these thoughts. I highly, highly, highly recommend her for all of these reasons, and I know others will find this to be true as well.
