Welcome. Everyone deserves to look good as they celebrate their biggest moments and it just so happens that is my passion - to boost your confidence to the max! My love for beauty started when I was a little girl playing salon with my first client: my mom. Later down the road, I became the go-to hairstylist for my friends and family on a girls night out, high school dances and from there it was a no brainer. I knew I wanted to go to cosmetology school and pursue all things hair! I trained at Paul Mitchell The School of Temecula and am a Licensed Cosmetologist. Since then, I have been boosting confidence since 2016 !

Done By Domonique Baez was the perfect hair stylist for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was fast, efficient, and extremely clear. They were incredibly detail-oriented and went above and beyond to ensure my bridal party and I looked flawless. Dom personally stayed with me the entire day, touching up my hair and my bridesmaids' hair to keep us picture-perfect. She even helped with my dress and bouquet when needed. With a team of professionals, they were able to beautifully style hair for all 12 of my wedding party members on time. I highly recommend booking their bridal concierge service - the attention to detail was unmatched and made my wedding day stress-free. I couldn't be happier with the two stunning looks Dom created for me, and I'm so grateful to have had her by my side.

I had the best experience with Sharon! I discovered her on Instagram and was immediately impressed by her work. She was flexible, accommodating, friendly, and incredibly professional! During the hair and makeup trial, I showed her some inspiration photos, and she was able to replicate the look perfectly on me. It just so happened that the trial was on the same day my husband and I went to the courthouse to sign our marriage license, so I was thrilled to look my best! On the wedding day, Sharon did hair and makeup for the mothers of the bride and groom, my husband, and me. My hair and makeup looked flawless and stayed in place all night long—I didn't even need the emergency makeup kit she left me with. Sharon is amazing! You absolutely need to book her for your wedding or engagement shoots!

I’ve always loved hair and makeup, so getting it professionally done was one of the things I was most excited about for my wedding. Choosing a HMU artist was overwhelming, especially with so many highly recommended options. Emily Lynn & Co. stood out to me because of their natural approach. Their website had an editorial yet relaxed and fun vibe that resonated with me. As a graphic designer, a beautifully designed brand and website played a big role in all my vendor decisions—but Emily Lynn & Co.'s work truly spoke for itself. I had the pleasure of working with Colette as my lead artist, and I can’t recommend her enough. She made the trial experience so comfortable by coming to my apartment, which was so nice. Colette really understood my vision—I wanted to look like myself, not too overdone, but with a touch of soft glam, and she nailed it perfectly. I also had Josie do hair for a few wedding party members, and everyone looked incredible. The atmosphere while getting ready was fun yet wonderfully calm. I highly recommend Emily Lynn & Co. to anyone looking for a top-notch HMU team!

I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

Jaycee has done my makeup on a few occasions now, including a group family portrait and a couple special events/occasions. When I do my own makeup it just never turns out quite right. My eyebrows are slightly off or the makeup settles into my lines and wrinkles, making them more pronounced, rather than less. She has the magic touch and I’ve loved the result every time. I’ve recommended her to at least a dozen people, probably more.

I had my make up done by Shahd for my engagement photoshoot. I looked and felt so glamorous! It was really important to me to have a flawless and “glowy” complexion which is exactly what I got. Shahd had a great selection of false lashes which looked so pretty and she really helped me get an even better than expected look for my photos! The make up lasted all day and I didn’t even need to touch anything up (except my lips).

It all started for me at a very young age. In the early 90's when it was all about fashion and the super model, I would OBSESS over the style network and watch runway shows for hours. Fast forward to post high school choices I went to school for esthetics and also got a degree in natural health so that I could offer an additional layer to my makeup knowledge and services. Not soon after I graduated from school I freelanced for the best cosmetic company at that time. Five years after being a brand ambassador for M.A.C I branched off on my own to open a freelance hair and makeup artistry which I eventually moved to Caliornia.

She and her team did makeup for myself and 14 members of my wedding party, and did everything on schedule and to a very high standard of artistry. All of my bridesmaids choose pretty different makeup looks and Ashanta’s team did it all perfectly.
