DEE DEE DANG

MAKEUP ARTIST AND HAIR STYLIST

Testimonials are from actual clients and photographers that I have the opportunity to worked with.

     My hair was styled half up and half down.Dee Dee did my make-up and succeeded in making me look fabulous, but still natural, which was perfect for me.I don't wear a lot of make-up and didn't want to seem like an entirely different person, nor did I want to seem out of character on my wedding day. I was an "enhanced" version of myself as she put it. Dee Dee did such a tremendous job--and all of this on short notice and without a trial run, ON MY WEDDING DAY. All I really need to say is that this speaks volumes with regard to her talent. Dee Dee is the nicest, most down to earth person...easy to talk to and very personable. I could not have asked for a more soothing, calming presence the day of my wedding. She helped me out on extremely short notice and came to do my hair and makeup super early because she had an already scheduled wedding that day. She turned a potential nightmare into a perfect day. I enjoyed getting to know Dee Dee and later, I enjoyed all of the compliments I was given on how amazing I looked. ( :

 My wedding hair was styled long and wavey, just how my husband likes it. It looked great in the photos, especially with my veil. Dee Dee work exceeded my expectation! I had both my make-up and hair done. I looked beautiful and received many compliments, especially on my makeup. I had a trial and Dee Dee  was extremely patient and highly skilled. At the trial, I tried on both my wedding dress and my bridesmaid dress to get her opinion on accessories. On my wedding day, Dee Dee did both me and my mom and again, she was very patient. She showed up on time, which was challenging at 4:30 am. It was very convenient for me that she came directly to my hotel room. In addition, she helped me tie my wedding dress bow and place the veil on. I wore a Victorian gown. The pictures turned out beautiful as well. I looked stunning! Being able to relax getting ready for my wedding was the best experience I have with Dee Dee's service! I knew that Dee Dee would do a great job and get it done on time, and she did! I highly recommend her.

Hi Dee Dee!! I just wanted to thank you for the awesome work you did on me and my bridal party. Received a lot of compliments from everyone on how amazing our make-up looked even at the end of the night :) Will recommend you to everyone I know. Thanks!!

Dee Dee did my daughter's hair, several of her attendants and also did my hair at the last minute. Although I had not scheduled her, my daughter's attendants asked her to do my hair too. I was surprised and very pleased. What was really great was how she did my daughter's hair. She wanted it part up and part down and very soft and romantic. Dee Dee was able to understand exactly what she was looking for and do exactly what my daughter had envisioned. Dee Dee did a trial hair and make-up session for my daughter a few days before the wedding and was able to alleviate any concerns my daughter had. Her hair looked fabulous and her make-up was stunning. She never worried at all about how she would look on her wedding day. All of our friends and family raved about how beautiful my daughter looked. I wish I would have thought about scheduling Dee Dee to do my make-up too! Meeting Dee Dee was great. She welcomed us into her studio and we felt like we had known her for years. We were both really comfortable with her and knew she would do a great job for my daughter. On the morning of the wedding, she arrived ontime and got busy with the girls. She was very organized and professional. We could not have been happier. Thank you so much DeeDee !!!!

Loved my Makeup!!!

My make-up ROCKED!!! I got a million compliments on it, and if you check out her before and after pictures on her site, you can see why! The fake lashed sealed the deal. AWESOME make-up!!! Didn't come off with the tears either!! The hair was what I asked for, nothing too fancy, but the products she used kept it in place and just like I'd asked for the entire ceremony and reception. She was able to do a few hair looks at my trial run, and everything stayed put and looked great.

DeeDee absolutely fulfilled my requests and was awesome. She was on time, did what she said she would, no hidden costs... totally recommend her. She recommends a trial run, which you don't need because she WILL make you look good, but it sure helps with the bride's nerves if you know what you're getting, and after she did my hair like I asked her at the trial, I had her change it since I didn't like it on me. Good to know! She's easy to get along with too. The end of the trial run was my most enjoyable moments , when I knew that I had found the right person and was getting exactly what I wanted!

Thank you and take care,

Dee Dee, Did a phenomenal job on my hair. I have long hair so she had a task to make my hair look great. I gave her ideas of what I was looking for and she put it together in just the right style. I received so many compliments from all of my friends and family once they saw the finished product and photos.
Dee Dee's work exceeded my expectations. She was very attentive and understood what type of look I wanted for my wedding and helped create that look for me. I was extremely happy with my up do and make-up
Dee Dee was very helpful in accomodating to my schedule, She also helped give me ideas in caring for my skin and made recommendations for my overall appearance. In addition, she is also a genuinely kind and sincere person.
Dee Dee not only has a great sense of style but has a warm hearted and fun personality. I was very happy with the way that my photos showed the best features that Dee Dee helped bring out with her make-up. I would highly recommend her services to any of my friends and family.
 
take care,

Dee Dee  had my hair partially up and curled. I often have the hardest time getting my hair to look good when it is up, but she did an amazing work of art to it and it turned out perfect. My hair stayed that way all day even though the different wardrobe changes! Dee Dee is a listener. She heard what I wanted and did exactly that only she made me look better then I expected. She gives good advice and gives you a chance to see what you will look like even before the big day. She did my hair and makeup prior to my Wedding day so that I could get a preview and I thought that was very fair. This way if it didn't turn out the way I wanted I could have her change it and not feel obligated if I didn't like it at all but of course it was fantastic. Dee Dee is very friendly and professional. She has a sense of humor that can calm you on a stessful day! I love her personality! Getting to see the final product on a perfect day and being treated like a queen. There's nothing more fullfilling then knowing you look like a Supermodel when everyone is watching.

Thank you so much, Laureen  Boland --proscorpio13@yahoo.com

The Best!!
My hair was Updo- half up/ half down. Curled at the bottom, weaving by being pinned on the top half. Dee Dee worked with the exact style I wanted, which is a challenge because I have such thick, coarse hair. I was extremely pleased that I got exactly what I wanted. Dee Dee was really good at reminding me to bring examples to show things I really liked. She surpassed all expectations. I can't explain how scared I was about not finding the exact person to help me on my wedding day.Luckily I found her! She's so supportive and professional. Not only the travel before the wedding but being able to be there for touch ups.Everything! Seeing what Dee Dee can do with colors is amazing. She actually lightened my eye color! She really focused and brought out my best feature- my eyes!

Thank you Dee dee ,

Dee Dee,

It was such a nice pleasure working with you. Thank you so much for the wonderful bridal make-up. I love how it was very natural and yet had some  artistic contouring element to it. My make-up lasted the whole day and night. Amazingly, I didn’t have to worry about any touch-ups.  Because of your wonderfully work, my photos came out pretty goodJ

 

Thanks again Dee Dee .  Love Debbie Tay  Wedding:   3-18-06
