Introduction: Hi there! My name is Vani Leon, lead artist of Vani Leon Beauty - Luxury Makeup + Hair. My passion and knowledge of skincare and makeup artistry, combined with my enhancing and natural approach will ensure that you look and feel beautiful on the inside and out.
I have 10 years of experience in the beauty industry, during which I have been able to express my creativity in a variety of areas such as: Beauty, Bridal, Print, TV/Film, and Stage/Theater. Through my experience I’ve had the opportunity to work with men and women from all backgrounds, ages, skin tones and skin types. This has provided me with a great advantage when bringing your vision to life and I pride myself on my ability to work with a diverse clientele. I enjoy building a relationship with my clients, and truly believe efficient communication is the key when it comes to executing your vision to perfection.
Whether you want a clean and polished look for a special night out or a glamorous and timeless look for your wedding, I will make sure you love what you see in the mirror. The goal with every client is to enhance your features, while preserving your natural beauty. I strive to make each and every client feel comfortable, confident and beautiful.
To make our communication more efficient when inquiring about Wedding Services, I have created the outline below. Once you have reviewed this, please don’t hesitate to ask me any specific questions. Also, please note, that my "Bridesmaid" pricing is the same as my general pricing for special event makeup (in case you're inquiring for an event that isn't a wedding).
Bride Only Packages:
These packages are priced out if it’s only the Bride who will be receiving hair and/or makeup services.
“One in a Million” - This package includes a custom makeup application and hair styling created and catered for the bride-to-be + local travel (we can discuss your location in further detail and any applicable travel fees if you’re beyond the local radius). You will receive up to 3 hours of pampering, veil/jewelry placement and a touch up kit. Touch-ups will also be provided before I depart - $550.

You will receive up to 3 initial hours of pampering, veil/jewelry placement and a touch up kit. In addition, I will stay and provide on-location hair and make-up touch-ups and styling assistance.
