I first want to start with I NEVER EVER leave comments or post reviews for ANYTHING, but Diana deserves nothing but the BEST praise for her artistry!
I was in somewhat of a panic when I realized that my wedding was quickly approaching and I had yet to find a make-up artist. I quickly turned to yelp and also asked my other vendors for their referrals. D'Anaya Beauty Makeup was one of the referrals by my photographer. After looking at the website I was eager to contact Diana. I LOVED that she was able to do makeup AND hair, 2 birds 1 stone kinda thing! :)
She immediately responded and was so helpful! I loved how I was able to choose my package offers online with detailed descriptions. After the initial contact, I was able to send makeup and hair ideas that I liked. All of this was just the surface of the great things that she does!
Closer to my big day, Diana set up a makeup and hair trial that was AMAZING! She made me feel so comfortable and really wanted to make me happy. She continued to ask my likes and dislikes throughout the trial process. It sounds a little strange but I really enjoyed our evening together and had such a fun time! I got to learn about her, her family, and her upcoming professional adventures. After leaving the trial I knew I had chosen the right person for the job!
On my big day, Diana was on time, flexible and patient (which I LOVED as I was running around like a headless chicken!). She graciously attended to my maid of honor and my soon to be mother in law. When it was my turn, I was finally able to calm my nerves as I already knew that she was going to do exactly what I wanted and needed. I appreciated her ability to add a little glam but also keep me looking like me!
I received so many compliments on my makeup and hair I had to stop counting. Not only did I love Diana's work but so did everyone else. I had such an amazing experience with Diana I needed to share it with the world!
My big day would have not been the same without Diana there. My bridal party and I enjoyed her stories and jokes. I like to think that she was having as good as time as we all were. It was like we had all been friends for a VERY long time. I loved having her be apart of my "getting ready photos", I can't wait to share them with her and have them apart of my story for my lifetime.
If you need someone reliable, kind, professional, and ABSOLUTLY AWESOME you MUST use Diana from D'Anaya...

Read moreI was a bride-to-be living in NC with a destination wedding in CA. I didn’t have anyone to rely on for referrals and had to take a chance on a bridal stylist. The hair & makeup piece was so incredibly important to me because it was going to be quality time together and a special treat for my 21-year-old daughter (and MOH) who just survived a serious illness. Taking a chance on Diana was the BEST decision I ever made! Diana answered my inquiry quickly and then provided answers and details up front, her website was super organized and easy to follow. We then spoke by phone; she was easy to talk to and calmed my fears. On the day of the ceremony, Diana had to travel to us and was even a few minutes early so she could get set up. Diana communicated throughout the entire process and her esthetician skills and knowledge were super helpful (we came to Diana with different skin color and hair types). My daughter and I agreed that we never felt more beautiful that day,...
