I would highly recommend using Yana's team to anyone in the future! Dave was my hair and makeup artist for my wedding, and he was incredibly accommodating! He met with me early in the morning for my trial (8am), and was 45 minutes early on my wedding day to ensure he was prepared and ready. He listened to my ideas and took all my pictures into consideration to create my wedding "look". He was open to hearing feedback from myself and my wedding party and was incredibly flexible! I received many compliments on my hair and make-up and felt very confident on my wedding day thanks to Dave! I will admit I was a bit emotional on the day of my wedding, and Dave was so sweet and patient. I am sure he touched me up at least 5 times to cover my tears! He has such a wonderful personality, not only did I enjoy him, but everyone in my wedding party loved his work including my mother and sister-in-law! I would definitely enjoy working with him in the future!

I love make-up and I’m a wear-make-up everyday type of girl. So, when searching for the perfect make-up artist to make me beautiful for the big day, I knew it was going be a challenge. I had very high expectations. I’ve seen Yana’s work from TLC’s wedding make-over but I said, she’s probably going to be too expensive and wouldn’t be able to afford her. I’ve decided to try other make-up artists but no one met my expectations. Finally, I’ve decided to meet with her. From the minute we met for my make-up and hair trial, I could tell she was perfect for me. She really listened to me and made me look beautiful, just like how I envisioned. She is a professional and a true sweetheart. I highly recommend her and I know you will not be disappointed.

Davee Troublefield from Yana Beauty Studio did my hair and makeup for the wedding and I could not recommend him enough!I'm super picky about my hair and makeup and always end up adjusting something when I get them done professionally. But not with Davee. I told him what sort of feel and look I wanted, brought in some pictures and poof! like magic he gave me exactly what I wanted. Even better than I could have imagined. No adjustments necessary. I've never felt so beautiful in my life.On the day of the wedding, he was on time, professional, fun, and willing to take as much time with me as I needed. He is extremely pleasant and a ball to have around while getting ready. And not only did I love my hair and makeup but all my bridesmaids loved it as well. All looked different, like themselves and equally beautiful.I cannot recommend Davee enough!

I can not say enough wonderful things about my experience with Yana. She was a delight to work with, both at my hair and makeup trial and on the day of my wedding. She is the absolute best and I will go to her again with any other special occasions that come up!

Davee did my hair and makeup (I'm the bride) and it was an amazing experience, my hair and makeup turned out exactly as I requested and exceeded my expectations. Davee even found some vintage hair accessories that looked fantastic with my dress, and they were VERY cost effective, and even better they were beautiful! He brought an assistant to help in doing my bridesmaids and mother's hair and makeup and did a FANTASTIC job on them as well, everyone looked beautiful and they made the day very comfortable and a lot of fun. I would say anyone that gets there hair and make up done by anyone other than Yana Studio is just crazy!

Yana is AMAZING! On my wedding day I felt the prettiest I have EVER felt and received tons of compliments on my hair and make up. Yana was extremely easy to work with and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. She is so nice and really cares about each one of her brides. We got along really well, it was just like hanging out with one of my friends. I would definitely recommend her to all other brides for their hair/make up needs.

Yana is absolutely wonderful! Not only did she do an amazing job with my hair and makeup for my big day, but it was also really great to work with her. The day of your wedding, you are with your makeup artist for a good portion of it, and you want to surround yourself with good people. Yana is not only an amazing hair and makeup artist, but also just a great person in general. I felt like I got to know her really well and she was definitely someone who I wanted to be with on my special day. If you choose Yana, you will be very happy with the decision.

Yana Beauty Studios did hair and make up for me and my bridesmaids and we were thrilled with their services! My wedding was in Torrance during the weekend of Carmaggedon and I was terrified that there might be a problem with timeliness, but Tara arrived early ready to get to work! She handled all of us with the utmost care and professionalism! The girls are still raving about their hair and make up! I couldn't be happier with the choice I made to use Yana Beauty Studios for the most important day of my life!

I can't say enough about Yana. She's so talented, so easy to work with, and is just perfect! She took me from a blotchy, sobbing mess to a bridal beauty :) I didn't really know what I wanted, but Yana worked with me and I could not have been happier. You can't go wrong with her!

Working with Yana and her associate Davee was nothing short of perfect. I live out of town and found them to be very flexible in accomodating me for a trial on the week of my wedding. Not only was Davee incredibly talented and good at knowing what worked for me and my look, but he was also so much fun to be around and kept me zen and laughing for those crucial few hours before my wedding. What a great time!I highly recommend Yana and Davee and would go to them again for any future makeup needs!

Yana did my hair and make-up for my June wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. Not only is she incredibly sweet and professional, she's absolutely amazing at what she does. She listened to exactly what I wanted, and everything came out flawlessly. I'm hoping to have a reason to use her again in the future! I highly recommend her services.

I always knew the look I wanted for my hair and makeup for my special day but the challenge was that it wasn't something that I could show Yana through magazine pictures. I just knew all the details in which I had to explain. With the challenge set, not only did Yana create the look but she exceed any expectation I had. I really didn't know how my final look would end up with my hair, makeup, dress, jewellry, etc. but I can say that Yana was a major part in making it all come together just the way I envisioned. She was easy to talk to and was open to any feedback I had. Yana was truly a pleasure to work with and I would 100% choose her again if I had to do it all.... Oh yes, and the way she applies the makeup last all day. I only had to touch up my lips after hours of kissing my now husband :)).

Yana was great! We added and changed the number of people getting their makeup done a few times and she never complained. She even was accomodating with the location. And, of course, she did a FANTASTIC job with everyone's makeup - 6 people who loved it and didn't complain. And my hair lady and her assistant were even watching to see how she did things because they said she was so good. So happy!

Yana and her team are the most amazing team of professionals I have ever worked with. I had the pleasure of working with Davee from Yana Beauty Studio for my wedding. Davee did my hair & makeup and that of my bridesmaids. He made me look and feel SO BEAUTIFUL on my big day. He is amazingly talented and the makeup that he did was so natural and beautiful looking. My guests all told me how great I looked and how I glowed the whole night. The airbrush that was done was flawless and lasted forever. My hair looked amazing thanks to a custom design that was created for me in advance of my wedding. Both Yana and Davee also helped me pick the perfect hair accesories to compliment my gown. I am eternally grateful to them for making me look so perfect on my wedding day!!Yana and her team are so professional. The experience of working with them was so easy and effortless. They are exteremely well organized and have everything planned down to the last detail. The work that they do is incredible. I would highly recommend Yana and her team for a wedding or event, as they are the best in the business!

Yana did my make-up (air brush) on my wedding day and I looked beautiful! The make-up lasted ALL day long without any touch-ups at all; I just re-applied my lip gloss. This was a true concern to me because I had my make-up done several hours before my reception time, and I went out in the sun & wind for my outdoor pictures. I was worried my make-up is going to melt or it would not last all night. But it looked fresh and flawless all night. Yana also did the make-up for my Mom and all my five bridesmaids and she managed to get us all out of the door on-time. Everyone was extremely happy with their make-up and everyone looked beautiful! Yana was extremely professional, sweet, flexible and easy to work with. Working with her was like a breath of fresh air on that chaotic day! I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know who needs professional make-up done for any occasion!

Yana's hair and makeup was simply put...amazing! I was in a time crunch trying to plan my wedding in only four months. I had waited until the last minute to book my hair/makeup, but one thing I did right was booking Yana and her team. By booking her, I knew it was one less thing I had to worry about while trying to plan the big day. She is professional, personable, and very talented at her craft. On a day where I was so nervous about looking my best, she showed up right on time, and made me and my bridal party look stunning! Our makeup lasted all day and night, I didn't even need touchups!! I will always look back at my wedding pictures and smile knowing that she helped me feel beautiful on my special day. I'm still receiving compliments from friends and family who see our photos. Do yourself a favor, stop stressing and researching and book her while you can. Yana is a beautiful, sweet, kind person and it shows in the quality of her work. ~Thanks Yana, you're the best~

Yana is a true sweetheart. Her love of what she does shows in the result. I felt so amazing but natural. She is professional and very personable. She will give you exactly the look you want because she is so talented and her abilities allow her to give you exactly what you are looking for. I feel like I gained a friend and she made the trail as well as the day of the event very relaxing and fun. My husband thought I looked amazing and of course you know that is all that matters. Thank you Yana, you are the best and I am so glad I found you.
