I had a very positive experience with Mari Cruz and my two nieces, who are 16 and 21. One of my nieces is on the spectrum, and both of them needed someone patient who could teach them how to apply makeup in a polished, intentional, and age-appropriate way.

Several friends, family members, and even people from work had commented that the girls could benefit from learning how to put a complete look together that felt more intentional and appropriate for different settings. Rather than continuing to give them advice myself, I decided it would be more helpful to have someone who does this professionally come in as a neutral third party and guide them.

Mari Cruz was incredibly patient with both of them. She gave them the opportunity to practice, offered guidance, and gently corrected them when needed. Most importantly, she made them feel comfortable and allowed them to learn at their own pace. My nieces genuinely enjoyed their time with her, and I could tell they felt more confident afterward.

I would definitely recommend Marie, especially for parents, grandparents, or family members who may find that teenagers sometimes listen better when guidance comes from someone outside the family. Teenagers can be tough! and sometimes having a patient, professional third party make the experience fun and approachable is exactly what they need.

Mari responded right away, answered all of my questions and was able to accommodate my needs. She offered a great price for her services and the quality of her work was flawless- so gorgeous! I’ve had my hair & makeup done at least 30-40 times in the past and this was the best experience I’d had. It was exactly what I wanted and asked for in my photos. She arrived on time, ready to go and was so friendly and completely professional. She was such a delight and I have already booked her again in a few months!

So first of she's amazing , she's really friendly and puts love into what she does. She did exactly what I asked for and expected. She also did my hair which I loved as well! I got so many compliments and felt amazing at my wedding. Her prices are also top tier. She answered all of my questions everytime I messaged her before my day. As well, did my mother's hair which my mom was so grateful and loved. Would 100% book again(: Thank you again Maricruz!
