I reached out to Doris through Thumbtack while preparing for my son’s wedding. Living on the East Coast and traveling across the country for the event, I was in unfamiliar territory—knowing no one and needing to find someone I could trust for hair and makeup on such an important day. From the moment I contacted Doris, she was responsive, professional, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She quickly sent me her website, which immediately impressed me, and after chatting further, I felt confident she was the one I could trust. Even though I was 3,000 miles away, Doris made the entire process seamless. I sent her photos of myself and my inspiration for the look I hoped to achieve. I admit, it was a bit of a risk booking someone I had never met, but I was completely blown away by the result. Doris arrived promptly at my hotel room on the day of the wedding. She laid out her tools and products with such professionalism and care. As she worked on me, we chatted easily—she was warm, kind, and instantly made me feel at ease. I wasn’t facing a mirror, so I had no idea how the transformation was unfolding. She began with makeup and then moved on to my hair, and I couldn’t help but wonder if my vision would actually come to life. When she finally handed me the mirror, I was speechless. I was truly in awe. I barely recognized myself—I looked radiant, elegant, and yes, beautiful. As someone who tends to be humble and more introverted, it’s not easy to write that. But I was genuinely amazed by what Doris had created. Throughout the wedding and reception, strangers came up to me to tell me how beautiful I looked. I held back tears for most of the day, overwhelmed with emotion, but even if I had cried, it wouldn’t have mattered—my makeup remained flawless and my hair stayed perfect until the very end of the night. It wasn’t until I returned to the hotel room that I finally had to take it all apart—and honestly, it broke my heart to do so. Thanks to Doris, I felt like Cinderella for a day. Her talent, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. She not only transformed my appearance, but she calmed my nerves and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I am forever grateful for her role in such a special day. To anyone considering booking Doris—especially if you’re in a situation like mine, far from home and without referrals—trust that you are in the best hands. She is a true artist and a wonderful person. Thank you, Doris, from the bottom of my heart.

Doris did my hair and makeup for a wedding I was in. She was on time and listened to everything I wanted. I brought pictures for an idea of an updo and she delivered exactly what I needed! The makeup and hair lasted all night long. It was a no-stress process. I would rehire Doris for any special event. Thank you Doris!

It was a month before my wedding and I don't have a make up artist. I reached out to Doris and I am so beyond happy that she has an open schedule to accommodate our bridal party. She was very gracious to fit me in her busy schedule for my trial make-up. The day of the wedding she was on time. I DIYd my wedding ceremony set up and she worked around my tight schedule. My make up looked great. I loved the way she fixed my hair. My bridesmaids look amazing. My two moms look radiant. I can't ask for a better makeup artist. Thanks Doris!

Details: Wedding • 26 - 44 years old • 45 - 64 years old • Standard (brushes, sponges, etc.) • False lashes • Pre-event makeup trial • 5 people • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you, Ana, for your wonderful review. I appreciate it. I always try my best to accommodate and make your day extra special. Congratulations on your wedding and I'm happy to have been a part of your big day. Your family was very gracious and super nice.
