  • Monica and Kate were great!

    We were fortunate enough to work with Monica as our MUA and Kate as our hair stylist and omg they could not have been better to work with!!!! Monica has natural glam down to a science and left us all feeling like elegant, elevated versions of ourselves. It was perfect! Her attention to detail and passion is unmatched! Kate is truly the master of hair and did a phenomenal job giving each girl their own unique hair style, but also still creating a cohesive look amongst the wedding party. Also - hair and makeup lasted the whole night!! Truly great!

  • Highly recommend Darling & Dapper!

    Highly recommend Darling and Dapper Studio for your wedding hair and make-up! From the moment I first chatted with Liz, I felt completely at ease. Liz, Markia, and Sarah took the time to listen to my vision for my wedding day look and made sure to understand exactly what I wanted. The trial was such a great experience — they really listened to my feedback and made adjustments to get everything perfect. On the big day, Sarah and Markia were professional, punctual, and calm, which helped ease any pre-wedding jitters. They worked with my bridesmaids and me, making sure everyone looked and felt their best. The hair and makeup looked absolutely stunning — I felt like the best version of myself, and it lasted all day and night! From my glowing skin to my perfectly styled hair, everything was flawless. I got so many compliments on my look, and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. If you're looking for talented, professional, and kind artists to make you look and feel amazing on your wedding day, look no further than Darling and Dapper Studio! Thank you for making me feel beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of my life!

    Liz, Taylor, Trin, Jade, Jose -- I truly cannot express in words how wonderful the entire team at Darling & Dapper is... but I'm sure going to try! From start to finish, Liz and her team of beauty gurus were all incredibly kind, consultative, and patient for our wedding preparations. The day of my hair and makeup trials was also the day I was taking my bridal portraits; this context is important because while I was in Taylor's chair getting started on hair, I got a text from one of my bridesmaids saying that she was sick and could not be there with me for the bridal portraits as originally planned... at which point I started panic-texting everybody else I could think of that could have potentially come to help me get changed, haul my belongings around the venue, etc. But as an hour passed and I hadn't found anybody who was available (and my blood pressure started to skyrocket), Taylor assured me that if I couldn't get anybody, at the very least she and Trin and the other folks working in the studio that day would get me changed and ready before I got in the car. I mean, how kind is that?! Trin then started on my makeup and was incredibly sweet and patient with me as I neurotically checked my phone between applications LOL! Everybody was hyping me up and keeping energy high, and by the time we were done, miraculously another one of my bridesmaids was able to flex and come meet me at the venue AND I felt absolutely gorgeous!! Fast forward to my wedding day - Taylor, Trin, and Jade were already at the venue when I pulled up, ready to rock! Everybody was thrilled with their hair and makeup looks, and Trin was more than happy to help me incorporate a different shade and formula of lipstick that I had found after the trials. With 8 ladies and a few gents on the schedule, they kept everything moving smoothly and I never felt stressed or rushed for a single second (at least, not by them, hah!). One of my bridesmaids had originally decided on makeup only/against having her hair done because of a horrendous prior experience she had with other "beauty" vendors in a different wedding party years ago - as in, this was legitimately traumatizing for her. But as she saw and heard how lovely this team was, she quietly asked me if I thought they could add her in as well - oh my heart!!! I asked Taylor, and she said that we seemed to be on-track and it shouldn't be a problem, and very soon after my bridesmaid was in the chair getting hyped up and treated with absolute care and attention and, yes, I would call it love. The "manscaping" that Taylor provided for my husband and bonus kid especially was perfect, and she put them at ease with her humor and expertise. I would be remiss if I did not also give a huge shout out to Jose, who fixed up my horrible self-dyed and self-trimmed hair a few weeks before my trials, and provided a fabulous hair cut for my husband shortly before the wedding as well! I am soooooo so appreciative to all of these fine folks, and we're both excited to start visiting Liz and her team in her gorgeous studio for regular hair services, all the way from Portsmouth. Thank you all so very much for everything!!!
