was very Professional, and organized, and I will use her again and again.
Tanya was very timely with great communication and had a sweet, professional disposition
Tanya did a great job of making myself and everyone in my bridal party look beautiful! She had such creative hair and makeup ideas that my bridesmaids really loved. I've got a lot of hair, which can be difficult to keep up all night long, but everything stayed in place! Very happy with her in all respects.
I wanted my makeup to look absolutely stunning on my wedding day. I hired Tenacious Makeup for myself and a few of my bridesmaids. I knew exactly what I wanted (and didn't want) and communicating my vision to her was easy which made me confident that my desired look could be easily accomplished. The process on my wedding day was super peaceful and relaxing. Tanya came to my location which made it even easier! My makeup (and my bridesmaids) came out better than I could have ever imagined and I'm forever grateful to Tanya for making it happen! I would recommend their services for your special day with great confidence
I reached out to Tanya when my scheduled makeup artist had to cancel. Tanya got back to me within an hour and shared her availability. I did a family ceremony on a Thursday and a party on the next night. Tanya was able to accommodate both dates. We had a trial run with my hair and makeup and Tanya was very in tune with what I wanted and what I wanted to change, and she nailed it! I received endless compliments on both nights about my makeup and hairstyle! I couldn't have been happier with my experience Tanya and I am so very grateful I found her.
Great at what she does, highly satisfied!
I have never looked so beautiful! I booked with Tanya after seeing some of her work on thumbtack and having a consultation over the phone. As my trial neared because I was traveling from Ohio I started to worry a little bit, wishing I had booked two trials just in case things didnt work out. Well things ended up working with with literally no complaints she did my makeup so nice my fiance' was amazed. My wedding day was very relaxing and I looked absolutely stunning! I cannot wait to share photos.
I nook Tanya for my engagement shoot & later booked her for my wedding day hair & makeup service for me plus 7 bridesmaids. She did an excellent job giving everyone a style they loved and remained onsite to do the mog last minute while we were taking getting ready photos and first look before the ceremony. Tenacious makeup did an exceptional job making my wedding the best ever & whenever I have an event or wedding to attend I use her services.
My dream desentation wedding: makeup stayed fresh and camera ready on a hot June day in N.C.
We had an outside destination wedding in Wilmington in June 2018. My makeup & hair as well as the bridesmaids stayed camera ready through out the evening!
I booked with Tanya only a couple months before my wedding date after my initial artist canceled on me. She was able to fit in a trial for me & provide clip-ins for me & my moh for our hair. On my wedding day she was there early to set up & everyone loved their hair & makeup. She made my day & I felt stunning all night long!
After a few consultations with a few other make up artist and hairstylists I decided to book Tanya for my wedding day hair make up plus 4 bridesmaids, mob & mog. She was friendly & responsive to all of my needs & questions. We were a little stressed on the day of and Tanya kept us in good spirits by remaining calm and helping out & being flexible. Our make up was amazing, I also had her install tape - in's which though I've never worn extensions but I figured for my wedding day I should go all out. I was in love with them and wish I could have kept them in forever. My whole experience with her was worth every penny. She also provided a cute touch up kit which although I didn't need on my wedding day he came in hand for my honeymoon. I would definitely recommend booking her for your big day. I wouldn't do a thing differently!
I hired Tenacious Makeup for hair and make up for a wedding, for myself and 3 attendant's, 2 mothers and 2 flower girls. Everyone's look turned out amazing! As a black bride with a bridal party of women with different ethnicities I wanted a make up artist and hairstylist that had experience working on different hair textures and skin tones. What I appreciated most was that Tanya took time before the wedding and during my bridal trial to understand the look that I was going for and then personalized it to really work for me and each of the other ladies so that everyone looked beautiful! As a bonus, Tanya Works closely with my planner on a getting ready schedule And finish the entire bridal party right on time... Even with one of my ladies running late! She is super friendly and professional and I am just so thankful that she was one of the vendors I picked... Thank you for making my day even more fabulous!
If you want some make sure you'll look perfect on your special day , then you need to book Tanya! After 2 failed hair & make up trials with other artists, I was confident that her skill set was above and beyond any other MUA. I had a destination wedding and she arrive 30 minutes early (eased my nerves on timing). I was a ball of emotions but she was extremely professional and accommodating while being genuinely personable. Myself and my bridal party were stunning and received many compliments! I have already recommended her to friends and family.
