Michele DeeAnn Makeup Artistry & Hair Design

& Tina worked so well and fast to get us ready in under 3 hours! We were a bit worried because our wedding was an early morning one and we weren't sure if we'd be ready in time; but there was no need to worry. We looked fabulous, and our two artists took the time to make sure we loved how we looked before the ceremony began. Even my mom, who's usually very picky about make-up and hair, said they did a fantastic job! Also, small tip, make sure you do a trial session prior to the big day. It made a huge difference! Michele and I spoke after my trial session and went over what I wanted to change and what worked well, and I think it made a world's difference!

ately. My wedding was outdoors (ceremony and reception, and my make-up lasted the entire day and into the night. My hair was the perfect textured, "messy" bun look. Honestly, I would hire her to do my hair and make-up again even if I was just a wedding guest! ;)

keup for me and my entire bridal party. She went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful for her presence on my wedding day. She eased my wedding jitters with her calm and kind energy and was a blast to hang out with while getting ready. She traveled to San Francisco for our wedding and despite having to start super early in the morning she was punctual, prepared and ready to rock. My hair and makeup turned out amazing and held all day and night. I was able to laugh, cry, and enjoy the best day of my life because of her. Don’t overlook this important part of your wedding day, you need a skilled makeup artist! I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look feel amazing on their wedding day.

e on my big day. My hair and make-up looked stunning and lasted through the whole night. I looked like the very best version of myself. Michele also did my daughter’s hair and makeup. I have never seen my daughter feel so confident. We both looked our best. Given the opportunity, I would be overjoyed to work with Michele in the future. Thank you, Michele!

was the most impressed by Michele. She said Michele was quick to respond, listened to her, and made her feel absolutely beautiful. I must say that Michele did all this and more! From the beginning she was so personable and fun but also professional. Months before my wedding I had a procedure done that left me with some facial scars. I was very upset and even came close to re-scheduling my wedding because I was afraid of how I would look on my wedding day. After voicing my concerns with Michele she made me feel confidant that we would be able to cover them and that I would feel beautiful. My self confidence for many months was really low and I had a hard time looking in the mirror. After my bridal trial with Michele I actually looked at myself and thought I looked pretty, something I honestly didn't know if I'd say again. For my wedding she was prepared and organized and made everyone in my bridal party look gorgeous. I told her I wanted to look like "an ethereal mountain princess" and she turned it out even more and had me looking like "an ethereal mountain goddess!" I never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. I'll forever be thankful for Michele.

shoot and wedding without her. I felt completely calm and absolutely loved the way I looked!

day including knowing how to navigate the hotel and parking without my direction, having already worked with my photographer and seamlessly coordinating with her, and sending hair and makeup schedules the night before that she actually adhered to. I had a few people getting hair and makeup done so she brought Lea to help and they were an absolute joy. On top of doing a fantastic job on everyone’s hair and makeup, we had a truly wonderful time chatting with them as we were getting ready and they definitely added to the fun and light atmosphere of the day. We all felt so beautiful for the duration of the wedding, including my mom and mother-in-law who were nervous getting their makeup done for the first time. I’ve already recommended her to friends of mine with upcoming weddings and would highly recommend her to anyone else!

g day, all my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and groom). They were all beyond perfect! Beyond that, she's super fun and sweet. They don't tell you how much time you spend with your hair and make-up stylists on your wedding day. You need to find people you like. And she is just awesome! She also absolutely kept things 100% on time while also keeping me totally chilled out. Finally - one thing I love about her is that she does hair and make-up, so I actually used her for both for my engagement shoot and it's insanely convenient. If you have the opportunity to book Michele, absolutely go for it. Truly the very best there is!

money.

h with her almost a year before my wedding and she worked with me the entire time through planning, payments, etc. She graciously allowed me to come in for a second make up trial so that I could do a bit heavier/more glam look. She was the person who kept me calm on the day of and actually pulled me aside when I had a mini-meltdown before leaving for my ceremony and helped me calm down. Her package to stay with you through the ceremony and into the reception is SO WORTH IT! She did multiple hair and make-up touches for me through the day. Which was especially critical as it was raining that day. Her make up and hair ability are incredibly professional and very specific to weddings. Don’t skimp of this aspect of your wedding! Use someone who knows what they’re doing. Your pictures stay with you for a lifetime and having hair and make up that stays in place is a big deal.

e glam a notch and I felt stunning! She did a fabulous job on my mom and maid of honor hair and makeup too! She hired an assistant to do all my bridesmaids make-up. I trusted both of them and did not need to give either of them any direction at all. Thank you!

g ready, through all of my ugly crying, after the ceremony, and even helped arrange my gown and veil for ideal photos! It felt like we had been friends for years, and having her on my wedding team made my day so much better. Her beautiful work speaks for itself, but you'll be so thrilled to have this wonderful person keeping you sane on your wedding day!

stumbled upon her website. I live in San Diego (and was getting married in Sac) and didn't have many opportunities to go up to meet with makeup artists. I knew I'd have to make my choice based on portfolio and a phone interview. From the get-go, Michelle was so professional, kind, and fun to work with! She has such a great sense of humor and is so easy to talk to. She instantly feels like your best friend! Based on a simple phone call, and her portfolio, I booked her on the spot. Without a makeup trial. I know for many brides, that sounds scary, but let me just say - I didn't regret it for one minute, and with Michelle, neither should you! If you just look at her portfolio, you can tell that she is a master of the natural, wedding makeup glow. She makes you look flawless! I literally had my makeup trial two days before my wedding, and Michelle hardly needed any direction. I showed her some of my inspiration photos, and she knew instantly what to do. It was great! I think the only thing was that I noticed my skin looked oily/shiny three hours after leaving, and she told me she knew just how to fix that and that I wouldn't have to worry about that happening at my wedding. Sure enough, at my wedding, my makeup lasted the entire night with no issues! I highly recommend Michelle as your wedding makeup artist. She is truly a master at what she does!

She was honest in what she thought would not turn out well, and we used both of our input to make what I wanted for my big day, look perfect! I feel like some makeup artists don’t always listen to the clients, so this was important to me. She made me feel even more beautiful on my wedding day. She also was so sweet and funny which made me feel very comfortable and confident on my big day. It was one less thing to stress about and actually made my day MUCH BETTER. I am so glad I chose Michele for my wedding day!

apturing exactly what I wanted. I did my trial with Michele in her studio. She took the time to discuss what I was hoping for, get familiar with how I normally wear my hair and makeup, and look through inspiration pictures I selected to get a real feel for the look I desired. She is honest about what makeup looks and hairdos would work well with face structure, hair texture and color, etc. I loved how my trial turned out, and she took a bunch of pictures and sent them to me so I could review over the next few days and make any minor changes. For the big day, she was a wonderful. She did both my hair and makeup and the makeup of 7 bridesmaids and my mom in 6.5 hours. She brought in an assistant (Tina Romo—also fabulous) for the bridesmaids’ hair. Michele came in the morning of positive and excited, and spent time asking each bridesmaid what they were looking for. Each girl got airbrushed and false lashes, which was super nice, and everyone’s makeup turned out stunning, while still looking natural. Throughout the day, Michele kept everything on schedule (we even finished a little early) and was super professional (think sanitation, wide range of products, etc.), while being funny and easy to talk to. My girls said they really enjoyed the time they were in her chair, as did I! She does a great job of making sure the bride feels relaxed and calm during what can feel like a very hectic, anxious morning. She even stayed for a few minutes when I was reading notes from my bridesmaids to fix my makeup after I cried a little. So very happy with my decision to book Michele! You won’t be disappointed.

she really worked with me to get it perfect. She really listened and was so wonderful about my feedback during the trial that I really felt I could trust her to deliver my vision. She did that and more! I felt like the most beautiful version of myself when I walked down the aisle. Michele helped to capture that effortless, romantic look I was after, and she was such a grounding person to be around which I truly appreciated as there was so much going on the day of. My bridesmaids all loved her personality and their makeup too. If you want to look incredible as you walk down the aisle put yourself in Michele’s hands!!! You won’t regret it!

usually so that was important to me. After that it was time to book her for the wedding and ladies it was the BEST decision I ever made!!! The trial was great- she spent time developing the perfect look for my big day and when it came down to the day of our wedding my hair and makeup looked even better!!! Not only that but she was responsive when I had questions and punctual with all appointments (I had seven bridesmaids so it was a must). I had the full day package so after my first look with my dad and after the ceremony she was there to touch up. I’m very grateful Michele was there on my wedding day and wouldn’t have it any other way. Not only that but her personality is amazing so she makes you feel very comfortable in this whole process. She’s INCREDIBLE!!!

oncerns through-out the entire process. Even my trial period was handled exactly the way I would expect and through trial and error (and a fun time) we finally achieved the look that I wanted! On the day of my wedding, she made me look like a queen! Everyone at my wedding was so impressed with how beautiful me and my daughter (who was my maid- of honor) looked and the proof was in the pictures! I totally would recommend Michelle any day! In fact, my daughter will have a wedding of her own next year and we want Michele to do her wedding too!

that offered that (for the area we were having our wedding) When I found Michele I loved that she catered to modern looks and her make up didn't seem too heavy or over done. Once I started talking with Michele, she was very kind, focused and helpful. We chatted via phone and I sent her inspiration photos for myself and my mom. I explained that I wanted a really light look with a touch of fun. We booked a trial date for hair and makeup, and I am so grateful we did! I initially though I knew for sure what I wanted and almost didn't schedule a trial run. I ended up completely changing my hair idea after we met. When I told her I felt like a beautiful bride, but not myself as a bride, she was very encouraging for me to pick something different so that I would feel like me. For make up, she uses an airbrush, which I thought would be really heavy. But it was so light, I didn't feel like I had anything on my skin. It held up on a +80 degree day, ever after running around and after the outdoor ceremony my face still looked great. The day of the wedding, she was prompt and worked with no distractions. She was very good at keeping to the timeline she made for the afternoon, I was so impressed by this. Someone always needs something the day of the wedding, and when someone one came to ask e something, Michele was completely understanding if I needed to break away from her work space for a minute. I really enjoyed working with Michele, and would not hesitate to book her again.

only did those tweaks...SHE NAILED THEM. I felt beautiful. Loved Michele and would recommend her to anyone. I’m not only picky, but also nervous about people doing my hair and makeup...but Michele made me so happy and gave me exactly what I wanted!! Use her. Trust me, use her!

k during the trial and Michele was able to work with what little I gave her to make my bridal look absolutely beautiful. She was so wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her to any bride!

starting at 5, and my hair and makeup still looked fresh when the night ended at 11 p.m. Not to mention, she made my fine, thin hair look so voluminous during the hair trial that I didn't need to spend money on extensions. I highly, highly recommend. You'll be in great hands with Michele.

out feeling cakey nor unnatural! Michele made myself and my bridesmaids feel beautiful. The best part was that the look was still "me". Michele is not only talented in makeup and hair, but so kind and made me feel so special on my wedding day. I would highly recommend Michele for any makeup/hair needs!

ith lipstick after I took a drink and tissues after I cried. She made me feel so beautiful and was always there for touch ups, loved her!

en the first look and the ceremony, so it was invaluable having her by my side to touch up my makeup. I knew she was a good fit when I met her for the hair and makeup trial. Not only is her work beautiful, but she made me feel comfortable. It was like chatting with a good friend! She understood my vision and was a true professional. I cannot recommend her enough! If your budget allows, book her All-Inclusive package.

r both hair and makeup a few weeks before my big day and Michele executed my ideas as requested. After the trial I decided the look I selected was not what I wanted for my wedding day. I expressed my concerns to Michele and together we came up with a new look. The day of the wedding arrived and Michele did a wonderful job executing my new vision. I felt beautiful and my bridesmaids looked great. After Michele left I shed some tears during my daddy/daughter "first look" and I didn't catch my tears properly which left a few streaks on my face. I immediately called Michele who had been on the road for awhile already and she turned around and drove back to fix my look. She didn't have to come back but she wanted everything to be perfect. I sincerely appreciate Michele going above and beyond. I highly recommend Michele DeeAnn Makeup Artistry for both airbrush makeup and hair services.

hair and my make up all day long, they all loved it! ♡ Michele worked quickly to accomodate my timeline while keeping me calm throughout the morning. It was a thrilling experience and I am so lucky to have had Michele with me for my big day!

hair for my wedding, as well as my make up for engagement photos and I have never felt so beautiful. I felt like myself, but elevated. Michele also provided make up for my 5 bridesmaids, mother and mother in law and everyone looked gorgeous. Michele is extremely professional, showed up early and finished ahead of schedule. She really cares about her work and her clients. You can tell it’s not just her job, but her passion. I feel I can truly call Michele a friend after this experience. I would highly recommend her to any bride.

amazing personality =) I received endless compliments on my hair and I truly felt beautiful. I wouldn't trust my hair or face with anyone else!

o extremely talented. I felt so beautiful and happy with the look she created. She took a lot of time to listen to me and provided exactly what I asked for. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be seeing her again in the future for other events!

. I highly recommend hiring Michele for your wedding.

d. I felt like we had known each other for years! And when she was done I looked and felt gorgeous! She also did the hair and make up for myself and my wedding party on my wedding day. It was a hot day but Michele's magic helped make my hair and makeup stay put well into the night! I am so thankful I had such a wonderful professional making me look and feel my best on our wedding day. I highly recommend her to all brides.

utiful and camera-ready but not too much in person. She was super responsive to my ever changing hair whims and she's a true professional. Plus to top it all off she is the absolute sweetest person. Would recommend her to any and everyone looking for hair and make-up in NorCal.

credibly flexible with some small last minute schedule changes and truly tried to make my time with her as calming as possible. No complaints from my bridal party - everyone loved how they looked and enjoyed their time getting their makeup done. My step-daughter kept looking at herself in the mirror she was so happy! Pictures turned out amazing. Would highly recommend using her for your big day or any special event.

e prefect plan, from having some bridesmaids do hair, some to makeup to working with me as my sister in law was planning to do my hair as! I knew things were going to be awesome at the trial, we had a blast chatting and I walked away looking like a million bucks! She quickly and easily got a sense of my style and what I’m comfortable and worked with that to design a look that made me feel fabulous! Day of Michele came to my hotel room with a lovely and awesome assistant, Elle! The two of them set up super fast and were amazing at keeping on schedule, they made each of my girls, including my mom, feel beautiful and just let their natural beauty shine! Michele kept me on schedule and my wedding day look was AMAZING!!!!! My mom and sister raved about both Michele and Elle, my mom wants to bring them south to a fun girl date day! Just getting to this point I would have given Michele 5 stars! Michele and Elle went out of their way and helped my a few of my ladies with their make up even though they hadn't been scheduled with them. Michele and Elle also followed me through ceremony and pictures to help my sure my hair and makeup stayed on point. Both ladies went WAY above and beyond their job description and when they saw that my photographer was causing me stress, they stepped to help keep me calm and kept the photographer from ruining the very “chill” vibe we had going that day. Both Michele and Elle stepped in when needed, provided awesome advice, and just really made my day fantastic, I don’t think everything would have run as smoothly as it did if they weren’t there. I can’t say thank you enough! Michele also gives great advice right before you walk down the aisle! You guys truly made my day perfect! Thank you! :)

beautify me two days in a row and am absolutely blessed by her availability on my wedding day and post wedding shoot day. I absolutely adored her from the moment I met her at my trial to the morning she showed up at my lodge at 4 am in the morning. She even gave me an awesome goody back gift full of everything I totally needed on the day of my wedding! Thank you for being so thoughtful and for matching me with the perfect lip gloss. You are incredible, Michele! If you're looking for a hair and MUA who will listen to your every needs, then Michele is your girl! Thanks again, love!

everything Michele! ~Niki

are of you. She brought me coffee and constantly made sure I had water with a straw. She checked in with me to see if I was hungry and when I told her I couldn't eat do to nerves, she encouraged me to try to eat anyways. Michelle also offered to help my photographer. She helped hold equipment and fix my hair, vail and dress while taking pictures. Michelle even got me a gift!!! She made me look like a princess and I truly felt confident. I heard nothing but compliments all night. I had a friend with me all day, she had my back and truly cared how my day went. On your special day you want to be surrounded by people who care, are organized and supportive, Michelle will be that person.

She also helped create a relaxing vibe in our hotel suite for my sisters, mom and I. Michele came early for set up and we were able to ease into the morning schedule without feeling rushed. Her and her assistant surprised us with lattes! What I remember the most with Michele is how good she made me feel. Thank you again for being apart of my special day, Michele!
