Serving Southern California + Beyond
Your wedding day look should incapsulate your whole vibe, but even better- especially since those photos last generations! I'm Dez, a Los Angeles wedding makeup artist and hairstylist specializing in vintage-inspired, modern-glam beauty for trendsetting brides. With curated packages and on-location glam, I’m here to help you look AND feel confident, radiant, and like the hottest version of you.
The “Dez” Experience
From our first conversation, to your last touch-up, I’m here to be your beauty guru, unlicensed therapist (lol), and have some fun during the beauty process. Let’s get you feeling and looking like the icon that you are for your wedding day!
You can expect:
some laughter and silly banter
a morning-of schedule that let’s you know your day will start off right and on time
transparent packages, pricing and clear communication
a glam chair where you can relax, be your self, and feel at ease
Whether your beauty inspiration is a 70s bombshell, or a glowy modern muse, I’ll make sure you and your loved ones feel seen, and obviously GORGEOUS.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bridal Hair + Makeup
-
I book into the following year! I’m currently booking 2025-2026 brides and bridal parties. I’m only one person, so once I’m booked for one wedding, that day is taken! Send me an inquiry form to learn about my availability- sometimes I’ll have the random weekend availability, so it never hurts to ask!
-
I’m based in Alhambra, CA and travel is included within Los Angeles and Orange County (2 hours round trip included). Travel fees start at $100 per hour after this! Special rates apply for destination weddings.
Lodging must be provided if your wedding location is more than 2.5 hours away, or 2 hours away with an early start time.
If flying is required, flight must be covered by client, along with lodging must be covered minimum 2 nights.
-
Absolutely — add-ons like extra services, look changes, or touch-ups are easy to include.
-
I can’t make too big of promises, but the airbrush makeup I use stays put all day AND night. I take as many precautions as I can to ensure hairstyling withstands the weather, dancing, and endless hugging!
-
I include a full hour of getting dressed touch-ups in all of my bridal packages! This means I will go to your venue if you are getting dressed there and do a final once over before I leave you.
If you want the VIP experience, look into my “Marilyn Package” which includes having me for 5 hours after services are completed- yay!
-
I schedule 45 minutes per bridesmaid/ mom service, and 1-1.5 hour per bridal service. I can typically handle up to 6 services by myself, and after this, I’ll bring an additional trusted artist with me to assist with your crew and timing.
