Des was amazing. She did my hair and makeup. Talking to her before hand about what I wanted was a breeze. I received a detailed email with how to prep for my appointment. Once there she had everything ready and she worked her magic on me. I was very happy and loved every moment of it. Totally made me look and feel special for my event. Planning on going back for my makeup and hair needs.

I've been out of the acting game for years, so when I nearby studio had a headshot special, I booked it and needed hair & make-up done ASAP. Des came up on Yelp with great reviews and is close to my house. She was very friendly and her work took at least 10 years off of me. She works out of her house and wore a mask the whole time. I don't wear make-up often, but if I had to have make-up and hair done again, I would for sure go back to Des.

I can't even put into words how thankful I am for des! She definitely made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world with the hair and make up she did on me! I'm so glad I decided to have her on my wedding day. I will definitely be recommending her to anybody who is looking for a make up artist!

5+ stars for Des!!!! She is simply amazing!! She did my hair/makeup for my wedding day earlier this year as well as for some of my bridesmaids and my MIL, and it turned out absolutely gorgeous. She knows what she is doing and has such a fun personality that the whole experience was a blast! Her mom assisted her with hair, and both of them were great! My sister in law hired her a few months later for her wedding because of how beautiful Des' work was! I looked high and low for the perfect wedding day MUA and I finally found her! I highly recommend.

Des is Great !! So Great , I went back to her again. I hired her to do my hair and make up for Our 10 Year Anniversary Wedding Vows renewal. The Ceremony was on the Beach and Des knew exactly how to do everything for the lighting and weather at the Beach. Once again , I was Very Pleased with the Outcome. I wore 2 dresses, took lots of pictures. And through it all , I was sooo Happy that my make up and hair stayed Perfect. Des puts you at ease when you are in panic for Your Special Day. Love Her and Highly Recommend Her for your next big event !!! Thank You Des. Appreciate your Expertise !!!

Des is very talented and such a sweetheart. She did both my mom and my hair and make up. She did a fabulous job. Not only was she helpful in finding the right hairstyle for both us; her make up ideas were great. Our hair lasted throughout the night as well as the make up. Both my mom and I received fair amount of compliments.
It was a very special event for my mom and I and Des did a phenomenal job in making sure we were not hurried.
She is very talented, kind, funny and knows her color palette as to what colors would fit a 70 plus lady and a 47 year old .
Thanks Des.. we will be calling

Late post but I finally got all my wedding pics back. These are all raw pics and show the absolute wonderful work Des did on my hair and makeup! I was impressed with her skill after she did my trial and was beyond happy with how I came out on my wedding day. She gave me the look is wanted and I felt amazing! My family, friends, and new husband couldn't have been more complimentary about how wonderful I looked. I happened to get married on THE hottest day in October (10/20/18) which happened to have 90+ degree heat that day; I was soooo worried my makeup would get smudged and my curls would

Des! Where do I start! I had her do my makeup for my engagement session photo shoot and my wedding day. From the start I felt that I could trust her. For a woman like me who does not wear make up I let her do what she thought would be best. She did not disappoint!! She did such an amazing job! No complaints here. She will definitely be my go-to in the future when I'm in need for a makeup artist.

Girl got SKILLS... I'm pretty savvy with makeup, practically a self thought MUA... for my wedding I was sure I needed to find somebody to take care of my hair and face even though I knew I wouldn't be 100% with anybody's work, but I didn't want to deal with it myself.
I'm glad I found Des! She is SKILLED!!! I even picked up tips from her. She's a real professional!! TWO THUMBS UP!

The day I found Des I knew she was the one who would do my makeup for my wedding. Before my wedding I hired her to do my Bridal Shower makeup which I loved so much. She did my makeup around 4pm and the next day at 4am my makeup was still good. (Bridal Shower turned into bachelorette, that's why my makeup was left on lol). I usually sweat a lot from my nose, upper lip and forehead, the day of my bridal shower my skin looked flawless all thru the night and sweat didn't mess anything up. As soon as she greeted me I felt welcomed and I knew she was the one ! The day of my bridal shower (in

She is someone who is absolutely talented and even more so a genuine amazing woman. If you want to feel glamorous and have a trusted professional guide you to feeling just GOOD about yourself, there's no doubt she's the lady for you. She's really a dime a dozen. She's not there just because she can slap on some eyeshadow. NOOO way! She works with YOUR look. What you want... and she knows her stuff let me tell you. Truly, she gives you a comfort level that's above and beyond just professional. It really feels like

DES IS THE BOMB !
You have a special occasion coming up? No doubt you need her to get you looking BEAUTIFUL! Our event was on a hot September day, hall had AC but it still gets hot in there, my makeup looked on point the entire time. Sure, I looked a little sweaty and shiny but the makeup still looked great. And our pictures turned out beautifully.
