Faces by Amelia Cosmetic Designs

Phoenix, I’m super vigilant to find vendors who align with my values and deliver GREAT work. Tanya is the literal embodiment of that. She is genuinely committed to inclusivity and client comfort. Whether it's accommodating all skin tones, hair textures, or personal styles, Tanya ensures every client feels seen, confident, and radiant—an ethos she carries throughout every touchpoint of the experience. She's communicative, accommodating, responsive, and transparent—especially about pricing and services. What truly sets Tanya apart is the personal connection she creates. From the moment she walked into my home, she brought laughter, music, and genuine warmth. I felt like I was spending time with a close friend instead of a vendor. She also brings the salon experience right to your doorstep—complete with professional lighting, high-end products, and an atmosphere that feels like a refuge of calm on a busy day. Her makeup and hair artistry are nothing short of remarkable—not only did my makeup photograph gorgeously, but it also endured heat, hugs, and hours of dancing without needing a touch-up. She will forever be my go-to makeup recommendation!

ther bridesmaids and moms! I never wear a lot of makeup - so she did a great job with making me look “fancier” but also still looking and feeling just like myself! I would totally recommend to anyone looking for a hair and makeup artist!!

the whole process! My trial was a couple months before the actual wedding date so I had plenty of time to look back on photos and make changes if needed. If I did change anything, she made sure it was up to my standards. I never felt I was asking for too much. Tanya also was able to fit my rehearsal day makeup and hair into her schedule. Not only did I feel like the gorgeous bride on my wedding day, but also on the rehearsal day! The day of the wedding, her and Fancy both were on time and we got started right away. They even stayed to do touch ups after all of the girls ate lunch. All our hair and makeup lasted all night long and I’ve never felt more confident and beautiful than how Tanya made me feel on my special night. She was professional, friendly, very easy to communicate with and flexible. Anytime I texted about anything, she responded in a timely manner. I would booked Tanya all over again! Loved working with her through the whole wedding process.

7:30 am and she was so warm and very down to earth. She came with all her gear and with the snap of her fingers turned my kitchen into a makeup salon!! After setting up, she put some music on to set the vibe. She then transformed me into a beautiful bride in no time at all. You can tell without her saying a word how much she loves and enjoys making people feel absolutely beautiful!! She was so skilled and efficient that she was able to complete 3 full makeup faces in less than 3 hours. I received so many compliments on how beautiful I looked and I have Amelia to thank!!! I will definitely be using Faces By Amelia for all of my special events.

when my husband even needed help with his own hair. Tanya will be forever be my first recommendation to those looking for a hair and makeup person for their wedding day. It was perfect, was so happy!

nted to make sure to give me exactly what I wanted, giving suggestions and options. On my wedding day, I switched up my hair and it ended up even better than the trial. My makeup was flawless. Tanya was such a ray of sunshine and happiness. She calmed all my nerves and gave me such confidence going into one of the biggest moments of my life. She even met me at the venue for touch-ups right before the ceremony. Thank you Tanya!

is eyes off me. Oh, and she even managed to make my husband cry, which just goes to show how amazing her work is! I loved the way she styled my hair, and the makeup was flawless.

truly listened to everyone’s needs and made adjustments on the fly based on our preferences and requests. What stood out the most was their warm, fun vibe—they brought such positive energy to the day and even played great music, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I felt absolutely stunning, and every single one of my bridesmaids looked amazing too. Also my makeup did not move!! I literally fell asleep in it that night because I was so tired, and when I woke up the next morning my makeup was still fully on my face and not a drop was on my pillows/sheets. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, flexible, and an all-around joy to work with, Tanya is your girl!

moment she stepped into my nana's house, Tanya exuded warmth, inclusivity, and professionalism.

e feel absolutely perfect! Tanya was careful to listen to everything I wanted for my day. I do not wear a lot of makeup every day and I had never had mine professionally done so I was nervous! I felt very comfortable from the very beginning. It was also very important to me to find an artist that was experienced in working with different skin tones and hair textures as my bridal party was from all different ethnic backgrounds. All of my girls looked beautiful and we were very happy with how everything turned out.
