Honestly the best wedding makeup & hair I could have asked for. I love that she used airbrush for foundation, my pet peeve with make up is cakey skin and she made sure I had glowing skin. I felt like such a beautiful bride. Mayra was able to do Me the bride, a couple of my bridesmaid, and my mom hair & make up and my grandmothers hair. We were right on time with our schedule. She is very charismatic and a great person to work with. Your wedding day is always high stress but she did a great job. If you want to feel super beautiful on your wedding day or any other special event. All I can say is don’t think too hard and just Hire her you won’t regret it.

Details: Wedding • 18 - 25 years old • 45 - 64 years old • 26 - 44 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • Pre-event makeup trial • 5 people • My home, venue, etc.

I called Mayra to help me with my wedding that was going to be in 29 Palms in April 2022. We switched plans on a dime and decided to get married on New Year's Day 2022 instead. We had just 3 weeks to prepare and thankfully the world stops on New Years Day so she was available to switch the dates. The first time I talked to Mayra about the desert wedding I was immediately grateful. She was kind and genuinely cared about her role in our special day. Her congratulations and excitement were not perfunctory, they were heartfelt and I was aware of her deep care immediately and was so grateful that all my searches had led to her. Mayra is a loving, gentle, soul. You know this immediately when you speak to her. When you meet her you find a talented, present and engaged artist from that amazing space as well. We did our trial just a week before the Jan. 1 wedding. We talked and laughed and bonded over everything. I am not a make-up girl. I am a wash and air dry hippie type for my hair too. None of this is a comfortable process for me. I always feel awkward and insecure with too much attention. Mayra assured me over and over again that if there was any time for this pampering it was essential for my wedding day and I would not regret it. When she was finished with my trial hair and make-up I was stunned. She transformed me completely but in the softest, most natural way I had ever seen myself. She literally brought my wedding day dream to life and I left that day knowing I made the best investment in myself for my wedding. I got married in a beautiful, old home in Upland, CA that was build in 1906. The home had a dedicated dressing room so Mayra and I spent that time together. My nearest and dearest friends floated in and out of the room while we were getting ready. All of them loved Mayra immediately and we all had fun laughing and talking while she transformed me once more. The love of her craft and talent was a warm, kind blanket that held me for those two hours. I knew in my soul, she was delivered to me for this day and this time. She took care of my every need and even made sure to feed me while we waited upstairs for the guests to settle and the ceremony to begin. I will admit, when you don't wear makeup, it's always a strange feeling when your make up is done because it feels like so much. For someone like me, lipgloss feels like overkill next to my tried and true chapstick. Having Mayra do my makeup however, felt like second skin and she truly adhered to my hope to be as natural as possible. Hair: AMAZING. Makeup: AMAZING. The compliments and accolades never stopped, the entire day from my friends and family. I never felt more beloved or beautiful in my life. We got our formal pictures back from our photographer this Valentine's Day. Our mouths dropped. Mayra said the makeup would really pop in the photos and wow, I could never have imagined something so exquisite. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how amazing I look and cherish my photos. Mayra is everything you could ever want in getting your hair and makeup done. Everything you could ever want in meeting and connecting with another person for any special event upcoming in your life. She has a heart of gold and literally the Midas Touch. So much so that I made sure she and her daughter stayed with all of my most precious friends and family for our wedding ceremony and reception. She is a gift.

Mayra was absolutely amazing! Not only does she do amazing work, but she is incredibly sweet! I have extremely thick hair and my updo for my wedding stayed put all night! My makeup also looked absolutely gorgeous! She made me feel like a beautiful bride for my wedding and I definitely would recommend her! 😊

Mayra and her team made did an incredible job making me and all of my bridesmaids look stunning on my wedding day. Between me and my wedding party, there were people with skin tones varying from dark-skinned to very fair-skinned and from naturally super curly to naturally pin-straight hair. Not only did she and her team do a great job accentuating each of our natural beauty, they made it last all night! As someone with very straight hair, I was very weary of getting my hair curled for my wedding as I was afraid it would all end up falling. Not only did Mayra use the proper products, she told me how to properly prepare my hair, and she used a teasing technique that made my curls hold all day and night....something that never happens. I was very impressed. I did a make-up trial at my house before booking her for my wedding. During the trial, she paid close attention and took detailed notes on how I wanted my make-up done while also recommending what she thought was best for my face. I am someone who is really into make-up and am very particular and detailed with it, so I am typically wary of other people doing my make-up. I have also had other professional make-up artists not do a good job on my make-up in the past, so I was very impressed and happy with how professional and talented Mayra was. And while talent and professionalism are of course what you want the most from a make-up artist, she is also an incredibly sweet person who was truly a joy to work with. It's important to feel comfortable with someone who is going to be in your face for that long and I couldn't have felt more at ease with her. Not to mention her prices are very affordable considering how skilled her whole team is. I'm lucky to have been able to book her.
