Pure Essence Beauty were the most professional, competent, and enjoyable hair/makeup artists I've ever worked with. First of all, they are extremely well organized. They worked seamlessly with my planner to ensure that the hair and makeup would be completed within a certain timeframe - and they were in fact, ahead of time! I had an idea of what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like but I had a hard time conveying it because I'm not really used to getting it done - but they completely understood the vision and brought it to life! Many of my bridesmaids noted that it was some of the most professional looking hair and makeup they've ever had done!
Danielle did my hair and Jennifer did my makeup. My supporting artists were Gabriela and Amelia. They were so understanding of the whole bridal party. They were very patient with some of the ladies who don't speak fluent english and did an amazing job on those with mature skin. They truly made everyone feel so special.
One thing I care alot about as an Asian-American bride is inclusivity. My bridal party included ladies of different ethnicities, different ages, etc. The first thing I looked at when researching beauty services were whether or not their portfolio had a lot of variety. Seeing the wide range of ladies they've worked on in the past made me confident that they'd do a great job for my wedding (and they did).
As someone who has recently been to a lot of weddings, and has most recently been a bride, I'll tell you that hair and makeup is something you do not want to skimp out on. If you're looking to cut costs somewhere, do it anywhere else but hair and makeup. Go the extra mile! Amazing hair and makeup will make you feel confident in yourself as a bride. And you'll look amazing in your photos! If you're on the fence, just do it! You won't regret it.
The team is amazing and they truly carried my wedding on their back.
My bridal party and I recently had our make up done by Danielle for my wedding day. I’m usually extremely particular about my make up, but Danielle did SUCH an amazing job. It turned out better than expected and everyone’s makeup lasted the entire day without having to reapply. In addition to that, Danielle is super sweet and takes the time to make sure she’s doing exactly what you want. She makes you feel at ease- which is important for a bride’s wedding day! I would HIGHLY recommend Danielle for your wedding day.
I had the absolute best experience with Pure Essence!!! Danielle and her team are THEE BEST! I worked with both Danielle and Michelle and could not have been happier with the results. They are top notch, professional, and so talented! Both my engagement photos and wedding photos turned out flawless thanks to them!!! If you have the opportunity, you MUST hire them for your special occasion! You will not be disappointed!!
I am SO grateful I found Danielle to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day! She nailed my vision! Not only that, my wedding was in the middle summer on one of the hottest days of 2022, and my makeup stayed on perfectly the entire day. I almost didn't want to take it off at the end of the night because it looked so good!
Danielle is so sweet and so accommodating. My venue changed our hair/makeup location at the very last second, and she adapted and made everything work. I also felt at ease and comfortable chatting with her and getting ready before my first look. Everyone deserves to have Danielle on their wedding day!
5 stars isn't enough! I had the privilege of working with Pure Essence Beauty Collective a total of four times and after seeing their work the first time I knew they were who I wanted for every wedding related event I had. But of all the times we worked together, my wedding day was the most special since its when my girls got to experience their professionalism and talent first hand! If you've been in a bridal party you know how hard it is to get a hair and makeup team that does work you actually like, but let me be the first to say; this team will not disappoint! A total of 12 people received their service and all 12 of them were floored with what they were able to accomplish! All they had to do was show them a photo of what they wanted and they blew all of them out of the park! If you're looking for your beauty team, look no further. Pure Essence is who you want!

For my wedding day, Danielle styled my hair in a stunning updo with extensions and for my makeup, she created a glowing, natural look. I could not be happier, and EVERYONE complimented my makeup and hair, which looked gorgeous all day. Danielle is warm and kind and beautiful inside and out. She is a talented professional and I highly recommend her. Thank you, Danielle, for making me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! Nancy
