Anomalie Beauty was a dream to work with!! Dani is incredible! She made the entire experience super easy and she was available whenever I had a question. She was quick to help me find artists for my scheduled events and kept track of any changes based on availability. Every artist I worked with was on time, professional, respectful and really listened to me when I explained what I wanted and worked with me to achieve the perfect look. You could tell by the way that they each talked about their work that they were really passionate about what they were doing and really cared about how you felt and wanted to look and made sure you were completely happy before packing up. I could not recommend Anomalie more for any event and I look forward to using them in the future.

I shared my vision and she brought it to life and I received so, SO many compliments on my hair on my wedding day. When people see my pictures, they always comment on my hair immediately. My braid was stunning but she did great work on my whole bridal party; all with diverse hair styles and hair needs. I got married in August and all of our hair stayed the night even with heat and humidity. Mel is so laid back and easy to work with. I would book her all over again if I could!
