I used True Beauty a couple months ago when taking part in my best friends wedding. Dana was recommended to me by a couple of brides who used her services prior. I was in charge of finding hair and makeup for the wedding party and was confident...
in my choice with Dana! Dana is so bubbly and kind, and exactly the type of personality you need to have around you on your wedding day. She is very time efficient and does flawless work in a very timely and consistent manner. She comes with all the right tools, including a ring light, which made everyone very confident that their makeup will be photo ready. The products she used are very reputable and she comes with a massive selection. Being in contact with Dana was a real pleasure. She is definitely a skilled business woman as she responds very quickly and stays in excellent contact. She was willing to work her schedule around the bride's when scheduling a trial on my best friend, and she was very punctual on the day of the wedding. I will refer Dana to anyone seeking makeup artistry services in the future! I even carry a couple of her business cards in my wallet.
