Violet did my hair and makeup for my destination wedding last August and I was sooo pleased with the results! I'm from NYC and needed to find a makeup and hair stylist for our wedding in Sonoma, CA and was a bit worried about finding someone that would be able to work with my Asian eyes. She listened carefully to what my concerns were and completely put me at ease during our trial!
I had looked into about a dozen artists and I found that a lot were either severely expensive or seemed like they did outdated makeup and hair styles. Out of all of them, Makeup Dolls seemed to be the most contemporary artists that also accommodated my budget. The only complaint that I would have is that there was a minimum amount that needed to be spent, which would have been fine since I wanted to offer 3 others to get their makeup done, but because there was only 1 artist, no one wanted to get ready 5 hours before the event. In any case, it all worked out!
Overall, Violet was very professional, so patient with all of my concerns and even helped calm me down the day of my wedding when I had a dress catastrophe! I would highly recommend them!

I found The Makeup Dolls the good ole fashioned way...I googled. And fell in love with the work displayed on their website. I was actually lucky enough to first refer them to a friend and see the process for her wedding, which just made me that much more excited for my own day and the amazing services provided my Indiana and Violet. They were professional, amazing hair and makeup artists that were so much FUN to have around while getting ready! I loved them so much in fact I found an excuse to use them for maternity pictures I recently did! I cannot say enough good things about The Makeup dolls and cannot wait to find more fun excuses to use them again!

The Makeup Dolls were fantastic. Everyone's hair and makeup looked amazing. Some of the girls and moms were worried about not looking like themselves, but everyone came out looking like the most beautiful version of herself. They also made getting ready for the wedding fun and relaxing!

The Makeup Dolls are fantastic! Violet came to my house for my wedding last month and did makeup for myself, 4 of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my aunt, as well as my hair, my moms hair, and 2 of my bridesmaids hair. Everyone looked AMAZING and the looks stayed well through the day/night. She kept the mood stress free on what could have been an extremely hectic and stressful morning and even offered fun tips and tricks for hair and makeup. Our pictures came out beautiful, and I owe a lot of that to Violets amazing job!
Both Indiana and Violet are very sweet and are truly professionals. Indiana was ALWAYS prompt in responding to emails and questions! I highly recommend them to anybody who wants to look flawless on their wedding day :) Thanks Ladies!!

The Make-up dolls are amazing!!! They did an absolutely fabulous job on me, my bridesmaids, my mother in law and even my make-up phobic Mother :) The make-up dolls are made up of Indiana and Violet, 2 sisters. Beyond the great job they do, they are so much fun and so easy to talk to. It made getting ready that much fun because it was like having 2 more girlfriends around for the whole process.
I would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend them...they were one of the best decisions we made for the day :)

I had Makeup Dolls do my makeup for my engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. They were awesome! Pictures turned out great and the Makeup Dolls themselves were so friendly. I will definitely be calling them again the next time I have a big event to go to.

Gosh, saying that the Makeup Dolls are GREAT just doesn't seem to be enough! I'm so lucky I found Violet at the Makeup Dolls. She is absolutely a doll herself! She made me look and feel like a million bucks - 3 times! I used Violet for my boudoir photo shoot, engagement photo shoot and of course my wedding day. When she did my hair and makeup for the 3 occasions, I fell in love with each look - they were different from one another, but all classy, sexy and natural. On the "big day" she not only did my hair and makeup but also my 5 bridesmaids. They all had a different hair style and makeup to fit their personality and individual looks. Violet is such a sweetheart and really listens to what you want and also gives great advice and suggestions. Hands down, Violet is absolutely the BEST at her craft and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Indiana did my make-up for my wedding last Saturday.
She is very professional and efficient. She is calm and didn't stressed me at all that day. She arrived before time, she was very organized. She listened to what I was expecting regarding my make-up and made some wise suggestions. It looked perfect and very natural in the same time.
I highly recommend her.

If you want to look absolutely stunning on your special day...look no further Violet is your gal! Violet did both my hair and makeup for my July 4th nuptials. She created a ceremony hair & makeup look as well as a reception hair & makeup look. I changed dresses so I wanted an overall change for my entire look. I expressed my vision (old hollywood glam) to her and she completely understood what I wanted.
Violet delivered outstanding service to not only me but my bridesmaids also. I have never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. My hubby, friends & family were absolutely blown away. I got so many compliments from nearly every single guest abut how perfect my hair & makeup were. I had people tell me that I looked like a movie star on the red carpet....that was such an uplifiting thing to hear and it made me feel so beautiful. I actually cried when I saw myself in the mirror for the first time...it was incredible.
I really cannot say enough about how amazing Violet is! Not only did she deliver EXCELLENT beauty services she is very personable and punctual also. There is just no way you can go wrong with adding The Makeup Dolls to your team for your next big event.
I will be recommending The Makeup Dolls to everyone I possibly can. I am 100% satisfied with their performance.

The Makeup Dolls are the BEST!
Indiana did the makeup for my wedding and I loved it. She was relaxed, professional, and eager to make each of us girls comfortable even though we were not accustomed to wearing much makeup. Indiana took the time to really listen to what each of us liked and managed to translate our descriptions into beautiful looks that enhanced our features. I loved the lashes she applied and I felt beautiful and not overly made up.
And not only did I love our makeup, but we had so much fun with her as well. I have been in several bridal parties where the makeup artist and hair stylist were snotty or unpleasant- not these girls!
I highly recommend The Makeup Dolls for the quality and professionalism of their services, and I wish I had an excuse to do it again!

I cannot say enough good things about MakeUp Dolls, Indiana and Violet. I had no doubt after my trial session that they would make me look and feel great on my wedding day. I expressed my vision of wanting a very romantic and elegant look and Indiana did a great job with my makeup and Violet did equally as great with my hair.
I felt confident and fabuluous on my wedding day, and never had to worry about touching up my make-up or hair.
I am still recieveing compliments for my wedding day look and we got married October 10th!
Both Indiana and Violet did hair and make-up for not only me, but my wedding party and Mom. Everyone looked great and they loved their make-up and hair.
Both Indiana and Violet are very professional & do outstanding work. They showed up on time and ready to make us look fabulous. I would recommend the Make Up Dolls to anyone I know (or meet) that is getting married.

The Makeup Dolls are awesome!I recently hired Violet for my engagement party and she was great! She was very friendly,polite, and professional and I really felt like she took the time to listen to what I wanted. I felt completely comfortable with her with in five minutes of meeting her and had a blast getting all dolled up!I have never looked better than I did at my engagement party and it was all due to Violets hard work and skills!
If you are looking for someone to make you look fabulous than look no further than The Makeup Dolls!

Violet is an absolute professional. My wedding day was not going according to plan. I arrived at the church with my dress in hand and no Makeup on at the time I was supposed to be walking down the aisle. Needless to say, I was a little stressed out. She had my bridesmaids ready to go by the time I arrived because she was there before anyone else. No sooner had I slipped into my dress than she was working away making me look the best that I have ever looked in my life. She literally did a better job on my Makeup in ten minutes than I could have done in an hour. She has a real gift and her confidence completely relaxed me. I knew that if everything else went completely wrong that day, at least I was going to look good. She really did a spectacular job.
She has also cut and colored my hair on a separate occasion. I never walk into a salon expecting much because my whole life I have had my hair turned orange and cut in unflattering styles. She really listened to what I wanted, and more importantly, she actually looked at my hair and told me what would and wouldn't work. She did not work against my hair color. I walked out of her appointment feeling pretty and very natural. She knew that I had a young son at home and not a lot of time to tend to my hair. She gave me a cut that allows me to wash and be done in minutes.
Violet did my makeup, my bridesmaids, and my moms makeup for my wedding. We did a trial run before and that came out great. The day of the wedding, not only mine, but everyone's makeup looked great! I was so amazed at how good it looked. Even to this day when I look at my pics, I always say I wish my makeup looked like that every day! I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, just blush and mascara, so when I was all 'dolled up' it didn't feel too thick or anything. I Loved it and wish I had a reason to get it done again.
Amazing every time! We have shot many brides made up by the Dolls and the work is outstanding. Another plus, I don't think they have ever run late (a real pet peeve agains make-up artists for photographers). Since you need make up on your wedding day, talk to Indiana and Violet now!
