Dorothy did a wonderful job on my Halloween makeup as Medusa. She made sure to get an accurate idea of what I wanted and my makeup came out great. I was very pleased with her work.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Dorothy work her magic on the makeup and hair for my mom, sister, and myself for my cousin's wedding, and I cannot express how impressed and grateful we are for her incredible skills. From start to finish, Dorothy demonstrated nothing short of excellence, leaving us feeling like absolute royalty on such a special day. Dorothy's attention to detail was truly commendable. She took the time to understand each of our individual preferences and styles, ensuring that the makeup and hair looks she created were not only flawless, but also aligned perfectly with our personalities. Her ability to enhance our features while maintaining a natural and elegant look was truly remarkable. What truly stood out to us was the longevity of the makeup and hair that Dorothy meticulously crafted. Despite the excitement and emotions that come with a wedding, our makeup and hair stayed impeccable throughout the entire event, from the wedding ceremony to the lively reception. This level of staying power is a testament to Dorothy's skillful application techniques and the high-quality products she used. Beyond her technical prowess, Dorothy's friendly and warm demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and relaxing. She created a calming atmosphere, which was especially appreciated amidst the hustle and bustle of the wedding preparations. Her professionalism and attention to our comfort were truly commendable. Dorothy's talent shines not only through her artistry, but also through her commitment to delivering an exceptional experience for her clients. She went above and beyond to ensure that we felt beautiful, confident, and ready to celebrate the joyous occasion. Our interactions with Dorothy left us feeling valued and cared for, and her genuine passion for her craft was palpable. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dorothy for anyone seeking top-tier makeup and hair services. Her skills are second to none, and her ability to create stunning looks that withstand the test of time is truly remarkable. Dorothy played a significant role in making the wedding day even more memorable, and for that, we are immensely grateful. Thank you, Dorothy, for your artistry, professionalism, and the wonderful memories you helped create!

Dorothy was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She responded to all my messages quickly, was professional yet friendly and easy to talk to. She understood my vision - going above and beyond for all my ideas and requests - but I also trusted her to take creative license where she saw fit. And the results were amazing. I highly recommend Dorothy for all your hair & makeup needs!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Typically I do not charge extra for traveling unless it is really very far or the makeup timing is either very early morning or pretty late in the evening. I do however offer some discounts at times since I am new to this website and would love to get new customers as much as possible.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always prefer to learn about the customer’s comfort level with makeup especially when it is the more glamorous and bold types. This helps establish the confidence level of the client for the end result. Secondly, it is also a big plus point to know of any skin related restrictions and I can definitely work around that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified makeup artist from New York City. However, I do not keep my learning only to that, I keep attending workshops and seminars by the top makeup artists in the industry to keep tuning my skills with time.
